第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I recently visited California’s most-visited national park—Yosemite. Turns out, there is a lot you can do and see over a couple days. Here’s my suggested route, if you decide to make a quick weekend trip to see Yosemite’s wonders.
Day 1, Saturday
6 a. m.: Hike the Four Mile Trail to Glacier Point. The 9.6-mile round trip will take six to eight hours with rest stops, so plan accordingly. Leave early to beat the heat and enjoy the sunrise. Pro tip: Don’t forget to look down—the view of the valley is truly jaw-dropping.
1 p. m.: Hike to Vernal Fall. If you’re looking for lunch, a tasty and efficient spot is Curry Village Pizza Deck. Plus, your next adventure is on the Mist Trail from nearby Happy Isles for a quick 1.6-mile round-trip visit to Vernal Fall. It’s a nice cool-down hike after your morning workout and offers easy access to year-round falls.
4 p. m.: Learn some history at Yosemite Valley Visitor Center. Every national park visit requires a stop at the visitor center to learn about park’s history and main features. Here, you can check out the Yosemite Village as well, but the real secret is the free bike share program. Download the app and grab a pair of wheels here for your evening exploration.
Day 2, Sunday
6 a.m.: Drive up the picturesque Tioga Road. While your feet are recovering from yesterday’s mileage, take a leisurely drive up Tioga Road. Along the 45 miles to Tenaya Lake, take photos at the many viewpoints, but especially at Olmsted Point, which has a less-visited but very cool perspective on Half Dome. Have breakfast or lunch alongside the blue waters of Yosemite’s largest lake before heading back toward the valley.
3 p. m.: Complete your trip with a visit to Yosemite Climbing Museum in Mariposa. At a last stop, visit the charming historical town of Mariposa to check out the long-overdue Yosemite Climbing Museum opened in 2021. The famous climbing history displayed in the museum gave me a new appreciation for Yosemite, a place I can’t wait to return to.
21．Which of the following does the author suggest visiting in the morning
A．Vernal Fall. B．Yosemite Village C．Tenaya Lake. D．Climbing Museum.
22．According to the author, the best thing to do at Yosemite Valley Visitor Center is ______
A．cycling for evening exploration B．learning about park’s history
C．going around the Yosemite Village D．downloading the free bike share app
23．Why is Olmsted Point a good place to take photos
A．Because it’s a less-visited place but with picturesque scenery.
B．Because it’s a place offering a better view of Half Dome.
C．Because it’s a rest stop for visitors to have breakfast or lunch.
D．Because it’s not such a place that is flooded with visitors taking photos.
B
Lying in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, the fishing village Huatulco is home to nine bays,36 beaches and thousands of baby turtles that apparently needed me. I had three open days on my calendar, and a desire to save some turtles. And so, away I went to Huatulco with Wildcoast, a group of champions-for-change who were protecting coastal and marine ecosystem in the U. S. and Mexico.
I was taken to La Escobilla to experience Wildcoast in action. Just one hour north of Huatulco, this protected beach is where mass turtle nesting happens. This natural phenomenon lasts just four days during rainy season, hundreds of thousands of female sea turtles swinging their way ashore to lay their eggs.
Between threats of dogs, crabs, development and oil spills, the little creatures have the whole world against them. As recently as 2002, turtles hunting was not only a common practice, but an important part of the culture and diet in the Oaxaca communities. Luckily, Wildcoast rescues turtle eggs and recreates habitats by monitoring temperatures and humidity. Thanks to their efforts, the sea turtles have made a major comeback, with now over 72 million turtles being born on the beaches that Wildcoast protects.
I got to hold 50 of the tiny creatures in a bowl. Despite an average laying of 100 eggs. just one in 1,000 baby turtles will make it to adulthood. Gazing into the bowl, I so badly wanted them to taste the sea and find shelter somewhere deep in the ocean. Finally, it was time to liberate those little creatures. Out spilled the creatures, some moving full steam ahead while others barely paddled in place. Literally, hundreds of them began to spread out across the beach.
With each set of waves, we witnessed the survival of the fittest, some pushing past the whitewash while others crashed back to shore. Their fight for life made my eyes wet. A flock of birds were ready to dive into the sea for their moving targets. “One in 1,000.” Nature was cruel and compassionate at the same time. After 30 long minutes, the last creature made his way to the sea.
24．The baby turtles are threatened by various factors except ______
A．the cruel hunters B．the rapid development
C．the extreme weather D．the oil-polluted ocean
25．What do the underlined words “full steam ahead” in paragraph 4 mean
A．With slow pace and fear. B．With all energy and enthusiasm.
C．With full caution and curiosity. D．With great satisfaction and responsibility.
26．What does the author indicate by mentioning “One in 1,000” in the last paragraph
A．One baby turtle in 1,000 can make his way to the sea.
B．Thousands of baby turtles were crashed back to shore.
C．The struggle of baby turtles for life touched the author.
D．Baby turtles can hardly survive the harsh living conditions.
27．What can we learn from the author’s experience in saving baby turtles
A．Think twice before you leap. B．God helps those who help themselves.
C．Cease to struggle and you cease to live. D．When the buying stops, the killing can too.
C
It’s not polite to stare, especially in the hospital. But nearly everyone who passes Moxi, the robot at Elmhurst Hospital in Elmhurst, Illinois, can’t help but goggle at it as it slowly rolls through hallways and corridors. The robot is roughly human-shaped, stands about 5 feet tall and perhaps most strikingly, has his big blue eyes that occasionally blink.
For months, Moxi robots have been travelling the halls of Chicago-area hospitals. They deliver medication, supplies and small pieces of equipment across the facilities. “With the staffing shortage, we’re always looking for ways to take no-clinical tasks away from the clinical staff, especially repetitive tasks,” said Dr. Kimberley Darey, Elmhurst chief medical officer. She noted that Moxi does not work with patients. The idea behind the robots is to give nurses more time with patients and perform higher level care.
When nurses want to use Moxi, they can summon（召唤） the robot by entering a request into an app on a tablet, similar to the way a person might request an Uber ride. When the robot arrives, a nurse or worker then holds their badge（工作证） up to a detector, which allows the worker to open any of the three drawers on the robot, and the nurse can place medication, supplies or equipment into a drawer. Moxi then scoots away. When Moxi arrives at its destination, a written message appears on its face screen. A nurse can then flash their badge at Moxi’s detector, prompting the drawer to unlock so the nurse can retrieve the delivery.
Each month, the two Moxi robots at Elmhurst Hospital perform about 1,800 deliveries. At first, when Moxi arrived at Elmhurst, some of the nurses were nervous, said Heather Johnson, a nurse and clinical leader at the hospital. But after a successful trial run, nurses began to feel more optimistic about the robot’s usefulness. What’s more, at Elmhurst Hospital, patients often grin as Moxi rolls by, and some even stop to take selfies with it.
28．Why do people passing Moxi robot stare at it
A．Out of interest. B．Out of mercy C．Out of kindness. D．Out of necessity
29．What’s the purpose of introducing Moxi robots into hospital
A．To entertain patients and medical workers.
B．To cut down expense by replacing nurses.
C．To take medical tasks away from medical workers.
D．To free nurses up to spend more time with patients.
30．What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about
A．When Moxi robots are wanted. B．How Moxi robots are operated.
C．How Moxi robots are summoned. D．Why Moxi robots are needed.
31．What is the author’s attitude towards Moxi robots
A．Dismissive. B．Indifferent. C．Favourable. D．Suspicious
D
Most of us have some sort of bucket list—a checklist of experiences and accomplishments we hope to achieve before our time here on earth is up. When we think of how to improve our lives, our first urge is generally to add things: I’d be happier if my career were going better. Everything would be different if I could find a good relationship. There is only one problem with this approach—science suggests it tends to have the opposite result.
A mountain of researches show that when you reach your goals they’re likely to only bring you momentary joy. Afer a brief high, dissatisfaction creeps in and we start to long for the next thing on the list. How do you get off this problem and find lasting peace of mind Brooks offers a simple, practical suggestion: Swap your traditional bucket list for something he calls a “reverse bucket list.”
“Each year on my birthday, I list my wants and attachments—the stuff that fits under the categories of money, power, pleasure and honor. I try to be completely honest,” he writes. Next, Brooks sits down and lists what his life would be like in five years if he were truly happy and successful—if he were living up to his values and experiencing a sense of psychological peace. The final step is to compare the two lists side by side. Would those things he longs for actually bring him closer to his vision of the good life
If an item is on your bucket list because it lines up with your deepest desires and values, keep it. If it’s there to impress the neighbors or feed a vague and strong need for “success”, onto the reverse bucket list it goes.
When scientists ask people to solve problems of all kinds, their first urge is to add elements. They think a new feature, additional rule or extra ingredient will improve the final outcome. But recent research shows that subtraction（减法） is often the better one.
32．What is a problem probably caused when you achieve your goals
A．You will be eaten up with pride.
B．Your confidence will be boosted overly.
C．You will be unwilling to achieve the next goal.
D．Your temporary happiness will give way to discontent.
33．What’s the difference between the traditional and the reverse bucket list
A．Whether the items on the list are listed honestly.
B．Whether the items on the list can bring you glory.
C．Whether the items on the list can be achieved.
D．Whether the items on the list are consistent with your beliefs.
34．According to Brooks, which of the following will be classified into the reverse bucket list
A．Buying a more luxurious villa than a friend’s.
B．Keeping on working out regularly to keep fit.
C．Serving the community to keep mentally peaceful.
D．Studying abroad for further education to realize self-value.
35．What is a suitable title for the text
A．The Barrier of Happiness: A Rule of Subtraction
B．The Secret to Happiness: A Reverse Bucket List
C．The Block to Happiness: A Traditional Bucket List
D．The Truth of Happiness: A Checklist of Achievements

The Friend Trip: Fun Without Conflicts
Anyone who said a friend is a friend forever has clearly never experienced a group trip where you will get into trouble arguing over plans and restaurant bills. 36 Here are some ways to do it without anyone getting unfriended.
Invite with care
“You cannot travel with everybody. All your friends are not travel friends,” says Irvin on her popular Invite with care TikTok account. She suggests picking travel partners who share similar interests, and deciding ahead of time what kind of trip you will be taking—relaxation, partying or adventure.
Brainstorm as a group
37 Some people prefer to use familiar spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel to organise the plan and share it with friends. And creating an Airbnb wish list lets friends suggest accommodation options for the whole group to see.
Exchange the captain’s hat
Use a classic teacher’s trick to keep everyone engaged and share the planning burden: schedule a group leader to take ownership of each day’s activities. 38 By making everyone the driver, everyone also gets the chance at some point to sit back and be a passenger.
39
Tracking expenses for a whole group can expose a lot of pain points. “I have seen so many friendships break down because dissatisfaction builds when one person suspects other friends are taking advantage of her financially or not pulling their weight,” says friendship coach Jackson. 40 Jackson says he liked Splitwise to help groups manage everyone’s bills, so there’s no confusion about who owes what.
A．Prepare cash in advance
B．Automate the money flow
C．Travelling with your best friends can be a tough job.
D．There are countless situations where the group need to design travel routes.
E．Apps can help make complex calculations easy even while the trip is still underway.
F．Ask your friends where they want to go and what they want to do using Google Forms.
G．This person will be responsible for making that day’s tour plan or keeping everyone on schedule.

I went to sleep with my mouth open and I woke up with a sore throat. The medicine I took was of no use and my mom was forcing me to go to the doctor because she was worried that it would make me ill. When I went to brush my teeth, there was no toothpaste left and as I was trying to squeeze anything left in the tube, the toothpaste splattered（酒） all over my face and the uniform I had been looking forward to wearing all week long. I washed my hair last night thinking I’d have time to straighten it in the morning or even give it a nice brush, but because of the toothpaste incident I didn’t have enough time to do anything to it at all. Now my hair was frizzy and I was in sweatpants.
On my way to school, there was an accident holding up traffic on the one-way only street to my high school. That day was my first day of high school, and also my birthday. You might be wondering: Wait... It’s really your birthday Then how come you didn’t mention your parents wishing you a happy birthday that morning All are very good questions. I didn’t mention it because it never happened. My own parents forgot my birthday.
Maybe this day would get better. At least that’s what I told myself to prevent the pulling of my own hair out. On my way to the classroom, I tripped up on the stairs and hurt my knee. I saw some students pull their phones out to capture the awkward moment. Luckily for me, I thought they were too late. Shortly after the first bell rang, the morning announcements played and on came the birthday section. What a feeling of relief!! wouldn’t be forgotten after. But I was wrong.
Not even the school, who quite literally has my birthday on file, remembered my birthday.

Dear Peter,
A Chinese traditional food tasting party specifically for international students will beheld in our school. Given that you are keen on it, I’m writing to invite you to join us.
When it comes to my favourite dish, “Dongpo Pork” comes first. Dongpo Pork is famous for its rich flavor and tender texture. Carefully selected and cooked using a special method, the dish is both fatty and juicy. What I love most is the joy it brings when it is shared with friends and family. Each bite of the tender meat is filled with warmth, love, and a taste that will leave you craving for more.
It will be a golden opportunity to appreciate the beauty of Chinese cuisine firsthand. Looking forward to your coming!
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
This day continued to get worse. During the break, my classmates began playing the video, which had captured my ridiculous look, bursting into laughter. I had to put on a hat to cover my frizzy hair, face turning red. Even worse, I had forgotten that it was the day of school meeting, where every student was required to wear school uniform. So embarrassed was I that I stared at my sweatpants, wanting to hide myself somewhere. It was the worst birthday I had ever had! After school, I dragged my wounded legs behind me on the way home.
When I finally went home, I found my parents’ car was in the driveway. Opening the door, I found nobody in the house, only to be greeted by the darkness. A surge of sadness flooded into my mind, and my throat and knee became even more painful. No sooner had I turned on the light than a shout of “Surprise!” erupted. Suddenly my parents jumped out, carrying a big birthday cake. A wave of happiness took hold of me. After enjoying the delicious cake, my parents drove me to treat my sore throat and injured knee. Even though this birthday was filled with medicine and bad luck, family love was sweeter than anything else.

W: Henry, who is your role model
M: It’s my 14-year-old cousin Ronak from Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. He used to teach summer courses for free, including one on robotics, to kids in his neighborhood.
W: He was teaching summer courses at such a young age That’s hard to believe.
M: Yes, but it’s true. And when the coronavirus pandemic prevented him from continuing lessons in person, he launched Kids Connect.
W: What is it
M: It’s a free online platform where older kids teach younger ones different subjects. In just three months, Kids Connect engaged more than 600 young people in educational activities. Now they’re teaching kids all over the world.
W: Well, now many children cannot go to school. Such a platform can really help them learn at home.
M: You can say that again.
W: I’ll certainly tell my little cousin Tom about it. I’m sure it’ll be helpful to him, too. M: I agree

M: Good morning, Destiny. I really appreciate you to be here today. Could you tell me something about your hometown
W: OK. ⑩I grew up in the Curtis Bay neighborhood of Baltimore. It is located in a highly industrialized waterfront area in the southern part of the city, and it receives its name from the body of water in which it sits.
M: It must be a very beautiful place.
W: Yes. But there are some environmental problems. There is a local medical waste processing plant and several medical plants. They cause much air pollution.
M: Has it caused any health problems there
W: Yes. Many friends and family members of mine suffered from breathing problems.
M: I heard you helped stop the building of a new solid waste processing plant in 2016.
W: Yes. I was 17 years old then. A new solid waste processing plant was scheduled to be built close to our high school. A few other young people from my neighborhood and I pressured local officials to stop the project. Luckily we succeeded.
M: I’m glad to hear that. So what do you want to say to our readers
W: Everyone can help save the planet. You just need to take actions.
M: Well, thank you again for sparing time for our newspaper, Destiny.
W: The honor is all mine.
Text 10
W: Kaavan, the elephant has been described as the world’s loneliest elephant. He was the only Asian elephant in Pakistan. He was given to Pakistan as a gift in 1985. He was badly treated and he wound up in Islamabad’s Marghazar Zoo. Life was hard for Kaavan. The conditions at the zoo weren’t good. During the days, he was trained to use his trunk to beg for money from zoo visitors. In 1990, a female elephant named Saheli was brought to the zoo. The two became close, and remained together for over twenty years. But in 2012, ⑩Saheli died, leaving Kaavan alone again. Kaavan felt the loss deeply. He became sad and unhealthy. Because of the poor conditions, he sometimes became violent, and was kept in chains much of the time. He weighed far too much, and his health and his mood got worse and worse. In 2015, a student from Pakistan started an online request to free Kaavan. In 2016, reporters wrote about Kaavan’s conditions. But it wasn’t until four years later that a court in Pakistan ordered the zoo to close. In that same year, Kaavan was taken to his new home. Kaavan is now in a protected wildlife area in Oddar Meanchey, Cambodia, where there are 600 other elephants. He’s no longer alone.

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I recently visited California’s most-visited national park—Yosemite. Turns out, there is a lot you can do and see over a couple days. Here’s my suggested route, if you decide to make a quick weekend trip to see Yosemite’s wonders.
Day 1, Saturday
6 a. m.: Hike the Four Mile Trail to Glacier Point. The 9.6-mile round trip will take six to eight hours with rest stops, so plan accordingly. Leave early to beat the heat and enjoy the sunrise. Pro tip: Don’t forget to look down—the view of the valley is truly jaw-dropping.
1 p. m.: Hike to Vernal Fall. If you’re looking for lunch, a tasty and efficient spot is Curry Village Pizza Deck. Plus, your next adventure is on the Mist Trail from nearby Happy Isles for a quick 1.6-mile round-trip visit to Vernal Fall. It’s a nice cool-down hike after your morning workout and offers easy access to year-round falls.
4 p. m.: Learn some history at Yosemite Valley Visitor Center. Every national park visit requires a stop at the visitor center to learn about park’s history and main features. Here, you can check out the Yosemite Village as well, but the real secret is the free bike share program. Download the app and grab a pair of wheels here for your evening exploration.
Day 2, Sunday
6 a.m.: Drive up the picturesque Tioga Road. While your feet are recovering from yesterday’s mileage, take a leisurely drive up Tioga Road. Along the 45 miles to Tenaya Lake, take photos at the many viewpoints, but especially at Olmsted Point, which has a less-visited but very cool perspective on Half Dome. Have breakfast or lunch alongside the blue waters of Yosemite’s largest lake before heading back toward the valley.
3 p. m.: Complete your trip with a visit to Yosemite Climbing Museum in Mariposa. At a last stop, visit the charming historical town of Mariposa to check out the long-overdue Yosemite Climbing Museum opened in 2021. The famous climbing history displayed in the museum gave me a new appreciation for Yosemite, a place I can’t wait to return to.
21．Which of the following does the author suggest visiting in the morning
A．Vernal Fall. B．Yosemite Village C．Tenaya Lake. D．Climbing Museum.
22．According to the author, the best thing to do at Yosemite Valley Visitor Center is ______
A．cycling for evening exploration B．learning about park’s history
C．going around the Yosemite Village D．downloading the free bike share app
23．Why is Olmsted Point a good place to take photos
A．Because it’s a less-visited place but with picturesque scenery.
B．Because it’s a place offering a better view of Half Dome.
C．Because it’s a rest stop for visitors to have breakfast or lunch.
D．Because it’s not such a place that is flooded with visitors taking photos.
B
Lying in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, the fishing village Huatulco is home to nine bays,36 beaches and thousands of baby turtles that apparently needed me. I had three open days on my calendar, and a desire to save some turtles. And so, away I went to Huatulco with Wildcoast, a group of champions-for-change who were protecting coastal and marine ecosystem in the U. S. and Mexico.
I was taken to La Escobilla to experience Wildcoast in action. Just one hour north of Huatulco, this protected beach is where mass turtle nesting happens. This natural phenomenon lasts just four days during rainy season, hundreds of thousands of female sea turtles swinging their way ashore to lay their eggs.
Between threats of dogs, crabs, development and oil spills, the little creatures have the whole world against them. As recently as 2002, turtles hunting was not only a common practice, but an important part of the culture and diet in the Oaxaca communities. Luckily, Wildcoast rescues turtle eggs and recreates habitats by monitoring temperatures and humidity. Thanks to their efforts, the sea turtles have made a major comeback, with now over 72 million turtles being born on the beaches that Wildcoast protects.
I got to hold 50 of the tiny creatures in a bowl. Despite an average laying of 100 eggs. just one in 1,000 baby turtles will make it to adulthood. Gazing into the bowl, I so badly wanted them to taste the sea and find shelter somewhere deep in the ocean. Finally, it was time to liberate those little creatures. Out spilled the creatures, some moving full steam ahead while others barely paddled in place. Literally, hundreds of them began to spread out across the beach.
With each set of waves, we witnessed the survival of the fittest, some pushing past the whitewash while others crashed back to shore. Their fight for life made my eyes wet. A flock of birds were ready to dive into the sea for their moving targets. “One in 1,000.” Nature was cruel and compassionate at the same time. After 30 long minutes, the last creature made his way to the sea.
24．The baby turtles are threatened by various factors except ______
A．the cruel hunters B．the rapid development
C．the extreme weather D．the oil-polluted ocean
25．What do the underlined words “full steam ahead” in paragraph 4 mean
A．With slow pace and fear. B．With all energy and enthusiasm.
C．With full caution and curiosity. D．With great satisfaction and responsibility.
26．What does the author indicate by mentioning “One in 1,000” in the last paragraph
A．One baby turtle in 1,000 can make his way to the sea.
B．Thousands of baby turtles were crashed back to shore.
C．The struggle of baby turtles for life touched the author.
D．Baby turtles can hardly survive the harsh living conditions.
27．What can we learn from the author’s experience in saving baby turtles
A．Think twice before you leap. B．God helps those who help themselves.
C．Cease to struggle and you cease to live. D．When the buying stops, the killing can too.
C
It’s not polite to stare, especially in the hospital. But nearly everyone who passes Moxi, the robot at Elmhurst Hospital in Elmhurst, Illinois, can’t help but goggle at it as it slowly rolls through hallways and corridors. The robot is roughly human-shaped, stands about 5 feet tall and perhaps most strikingly, has his big blue eyes that occasionally blink.
For months, Moxi robots have been travelling the halls of Chicago-area hospitals. They deliver medication, supplies and small pieces of equipment across the facilities. “With the staffing shortage, we’re always looking for ways to take no-clinical tasks away from the clinical staff, especially repetitive tasks,” said Dr. Kimberley Darey, Elmhurst chief medical officer. She noted that Moxi does not work with patients. The idea behind the robots is to give nurses more time with patients and perform higher level care.
When nurses want to use Moxi, they can summon（召唤） the robot by entering a request into an app on a tablet, similar to the way a person might request an Uber ride. When the robot arrives, a nurse or worker then holds their badge（工作证） up to a detector, which allows the worker to open any of the three drawers on the robot, and the nurse can place medication, supplies or equipment into a drawer. Moxi then scoots away. When Moxi arrives at its destination, a written message appears on its face screen. A nurse can then flash their badge at Moxi’s detector, prompting the drawer to unlock so the nurse can retrieve the delivery.
Each month, the two Moxi robots at Elmhurst Hospital perform about 1,800 deliveries. At first, when Moxi arrived at Elmhurst, some of the nurses were nervous, said Heather Johnson, a nurse and clinical leader at the hospital. But after a successful trial run, nurses began to feel more optimistic about the robot’s usefulness. What’s more, at Elmhurst Hospital, patients often grin as Moxi rolls by, and some even stop to take selfies with it.
28．Why do people passing Moxi robot stare at it
A．Out of interest. B．Out of mercy C．Out of kindness. D．Out of necessity
29．What’s the purpose of introducing Moxi robots into hospital
A．To entertain patients and medical workers.
B．To cut down expense by replacing nurses.
C．To take medical tasks away from medical workers.
D．To free nurses up to spend more time with patients.
30．What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about
A．When Moxi robots are wanted. B．How Moxi robots are operated.
C．How Moxi robots are summoned. D．Why Moxi robots are needed.
31．What is the author’s attitude towards Moxi robots
A．Dismissive. B．Indifferent. C．Favourable. D．Suspicious
D
Most of us have some sort of bucket list—a checklist of experiences and accomplishments we hope to achieve before our time here on earth is up. When we think of how to improve our lives, our first urge is generally to add things: I’d be happier if my career were going better. Everything would be different if I could find a good relationship. There is only one problem with this approach—science suggests it tends to have the opposite result.
A mountain of researches show that when you reach your goals they’re likely to only bring you momentary joy. Afer a brief high, dissatisfaction creeps in and we start to long for the next thing on the list. How do you get off this problem and find lasting peace of mind Brooks offers a simple, practical suggestion: Swap your traditional bucket list for something he calls a “reverse bucket list.”
“Each year on my birthday, I list my wants and attachments—the stuff that fits under the categories of money, power, pleasure and honor. I try to be completely honest,” he writes. Next, Brooks sits down and lists what his life would be like in five years if he were truly happy and successful—if he were living up to his values and experiencing a sense of psychological peace. The final step is to compare the two lists side by side. Would those things he longs for actually bring him closer to his vision of the good life
If an item is on your bucket list because it lines up with your deepest desires and values, keep it. If it’s there to impress the neighbors or feed a vague and strong need for “success”, onto the reverse bucket list it goes.
When scientists ask people to solve problems of all kinds, their first urge is to add elements. They think a new feature, additional rule or extra ingredient will improve the final outcome. But recent research shows that subtraction（减法） is often the better one.
32．What is a problem probably caused when you achieve your goals
A．You will be eaten up with pride.
B．Your confidence will be boosted overly.
C．You will be unwilling to achieve the next goal.
D．Your temporary happiness will give way to discontent.
33．What’s the difference between the traditional and the reverse bucket list
A．Whether the items on the list are listed honestly.
B．Whether the items on the list can bring you glory.
C．Whether the items on the list can be achieved.
D．Whether the items on the list are consistent with your beliefs.
34．According to Brooks, which of the following will be classified into the reverse bucket list
A．Buying a more luxurious villa than a friend’s.
B．Keeping on working out regularly to keep fit.
C．Serving the community to keep mentally peaceful.
D．Studying abroad for further education to realize self-value.
35．What is a suitable title for the text
A．The Barrier of Happiness: A Rule of Subtraction
B．The Secret to Happiness: A Reverse Bucket List
C．The Block to Happiness: A Traditional Bucket List
D．The Truth of Happiness: A Checklist of Achievements

The Friend Trip: Fun Without Conflicts
Anyone who said a friend is a friend forever has clearly never experienced a group trip where you will get into trouble arguing over plans and restaurant bills. 36 Here are some ways to do it without anyone getting unfriended.
Invite with care
“You cannot travel with everybody. All your friends are not travel friends,” says Irvin on her popular Invite with care TikTok account. She suggests picking travel partners who share similar interests, and deciding ahead of time what kind of trip you will be taking—relaxation, partying or adventure.
Brainstorm as a group
37 Some people prefer to use familiar spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel to organise the plan and share it with friends. And creating an Airbnb wish list lets friends suggest accommodation options for the whole group to see.
Exchange the captain’s hat
Use a classic teacher’s trick to keep everyone engaged and share the planning burden: schedule a group leader to take ownership of each day’s activities. 38 By making everyone the driver, everyone also gets the chance at some point to sit back and be a passenger.
39
Tracking expenses for a whole group can expose a lot of pain points. “I have seen so many friendships break down because dissatisfaction builds when one person suspects other friends are taking advantage of her financially or not pulling their weight,” says friendship coach Jackson. 40 Jackson says he liked Splitwise to help groups manage everyone’s bills, so there’s no confusion about who owes what.
A．Prepare cash in advance
B．Automate the money flow
C．Travelling with your best friends can be a tough job.
D．There are countless situations where the group need to design travel routes.
E．Apps can help make complex calculations easy even while the trip is still underway.
F．Ask your friends where they want to go and what they want to do using Google Forms.
G．This person will be responsible for making that day’s tour plan or keeping everyone on schedule.

I went to sleep with my mouth open and I woke up with a sore throat. The medicine I took was of no use and my mom was forcing me to go to the doctor because she was worried that it would make me ill. When I went to brush my teeth, there was no toothpaste left and as I was trying to squeeze anything left in the tube, the toothpaste splattered（酒） all over my face and the uniform I had been looking forward to wearing all week long. I washed my hair last night thinking I’d have time to straighten it in the morning or even give it a nice brush, but because of the toothpaste incident I didn’t have enough time to do anything to it at all. Now my hair was frizzy and I was in sweatpants.
On my way to school, there was an accident holding up traffic on the one-way only street to my high school. That day was my first day of high school, and also my birthday. You might be wondering: Wait... It’s really your birthday Then how come you didn’t mention your parents wishing you a happy birthday that morning All are very good questions. I didn’t mention it because it never happened. My own parents forgot my birthday.
Maybe this day would get better. At least that’s what I told myself to prevent the pulling of my own hair out. On my way to the classroom, I tripped up on the stairs and hurt my knee. I saw some students pull their phones out to capture the awkward moment. Luckily for me, I thought they were too late. Shortly after the first bell rang, the morning announcements played and on came the birthday section. What a feeling of relief!! wouldn’t be forgotten after. But I was wrong.
Not even the school, who quite literally has my birthday on file, remembered my birthday.

Dear Peter,
A Chinese traditional food tasting party specifically for international students will beheld in our school. Given that you are keen on it, I’m writing to invite you to join us.
When it comes to my favourite dish, “Dongpo Pork” comes first. Dongpo Pork is famous for its rich flavor and tender texture. Carefully selected and cooked using a special method, the dish is both fatty and juicy. What I love most is the joy it brings when it is shared with friends and family. Each bite of the tender meat is filled with warmth, love, and a taste that will leave you craving for more.
It will be a golden opportunity to appreciate the beauty of Chinese cuisine firsthand. Looking forward to your coming!
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
This day continued to get worse. During the break, my classmates began playing the video, which had captured my ridiculous look, bursting into laughter. I had to put on a hat to cover my frizzy hair, face turning red. Even worse, I had forgotten that it was the day of school meeting, where every student was required to wear school uniform. So embarrassed was I that I stared at my sweatpants, wanting to hide myself somewhere. It was the worst birthday I had ever had! After school, I dragged my wounded legs behind me on the way home.
When I finally went home, I found my parents’ car was in the driveway. Opening the door, I found nobody in the house, only to be greeted by the darkness. A surge of sadness flooded into my mind, and my throat and knee became even more painful. No sooner had I turned on the light than a shout of “Surprise!” erupted. Suddenly my parents jumped out, carrying a big birthday cake. A wave of happiness took hold of me. After enjoying the delicious cake, my parents drove me to treat my sore throat and injured knee. Even though this birthday was filled with medicine and bad luck, family love was sweeter than anything else.

W: Kaavan, the elephant has been described as the world’s loneliest elephant. He was the only Asian elephant in Pakistan. He was given to Pakistan as a gift in 1985. He was badly treated and he wound up in Islamabad’s Marghazar Zoo. Life was hard for Kaavan. The conditions at the zoo weren’t good. During the days, he was trained to use his trunk to beg for money from zoo visitors. In 1990, a female elephant named Saheli was brought to the zoo. The two became close, and remained together for over twenty years. But in 2012, ⑩Saheli died, leaving Kaavan alone again. Kaavan felt the loss deeply. He became sad and unhealthy. Because of the poor conditions, he sometimes became violent, and was kept in chains much of the time. He weighed far too much, and his health and his mood got worse and worse. In 2015, a student from Pakistan started an online request to free Kaavan. In 2016, reporters wrote about Kaavan’s conditions. But it wasn’t until four years later that a court in Pakistan ordered the zoo to close. In that same year, Kaavan was taken to his new home. Kaavan is now in a protected wildlife area in Oddar Meanchey, Cambodia, where there are 600 other elephants. He’s no longer alone.
