A
Back in 1958, I was crazy about the Norfolk and Western 746. The smooth bullet-nose engine with its orange and yellow lines and shiny streamline d black tender(车厢) seemed to have cast a spell on me.
Together the engine and tender measured a little shy of 2 feet—enormous by the toy train standards of the day. Even better, the 746 had a working headlight and smoker, and its tender sang high.
Unfortunately, the amazing 746 also had an amazing price—$50, equal to about $450 today. That was far more than my grandfather could afford. Instead, I had to be content with his little Lionel plastic, which was SIX INCHES shorter than the 746 and had no headlight, no smoker or no sound! But that was the best that my grandfather could give me at that time.
Years passed, and I was in my 30s. Superior sound systems and computer controls dominated toy trains. I never gave a look. My interest in toy trains, I firmly believed, had faded, so did my admiration for the 746, since my grandfather was not with me. The 746 was never called to mind. On an ordinary day, however, I happened to see the 746 outside the window of a train show. Just one-look, I could not look away. Childhood memories that I tried to hide in the depths of my heart raced through my mind, happy or sad.
That day I took the 746 home and placed it in the center of the room, and let my childhood dream sing its way around me. Smoke rose out from the engine and the soft song sounded from its tender. It seemed as if I could see the soft light in grandfather’s eyes and hear his cheerful laughter.
21. Which best describes the 746 in the author’s eyes
A. Its measurement was at a disadvantage.
B. Its price rocketed from $50 to $450.
C. Its beauty had a special appeal.
D. It was the largest train in 1958.
22. How did the author feel when receiving his little Lionel plastic
A. Visibly relieved. B. Slightly discontented.
C. Really delighted. D. Terribly ashamed.
23. What happened to the author in his 30s
A. He left his grandfather alone.
B. He didn’t favor the 746 at all.
C. He admired advanced toy trains.
D. He attempted not to recall the past.
24. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The 746: A Perfect Gift from My Grandfather
B. Toy Trains: Memories of A Generation
C. The 746: Childhood Memories of Love
D. Toy Trains: Childhood in History
B
Two separate research groups in the UK and Denmark have come up with the same idea for a study that could help save endangered species, and have gotten the same results. It involves sucking(吸) environmental DNA from the air that animals leave behind.
“We use a really small pump that pulls the air through, and we hope the DNA gets caught on the filter(过滤器),” said Elizabeth Clare, the lead researcher, “It’s a bit like making coffee You make coffee by sucking water through a filter and leaving the coffee grounds behind. That’s basically what we’re doing; we’re just sucking the air through and hoping that the DNA gets left behind.”
Clare says the concept has been used for years in different ways. Scientists sample pathogens(病原体) from the air, which has been used to help track COVID-19 Environmental DNA can also be collected from water to help ease invasive species.
A big goal for both research teams with the new study is to be able to locate endangered species and help save them. It is important to note that this type of DNA sampling can only be picked up if a species is in the area, so if there were two of the same animal, scientists would not be able to tell which one the DNA came from.
Both research groups also reported certain DNA samples not showing up when they knew an animal had been in the area. They also can’t tell yet how long an animal’s DNA will stick around after it’s been in one area. Clare says she’d like to plan more researches to get these answers.
But one thing is for sure after conducting the study. Clare says she has a whole new perspective on taking a deep breath. “As you know, I’m walking through a jungle or the park or taking my dog for a walk or my kids out to play, and I take a deep breath; I think I just inhaled information about all the things that have been here before, and as a scientist, that’s exciting to think that the information that I’m trying to gather is literally hanging in front of me,” she said.
25. Why does the author mention coffee-making
A. To illustrate how the idea works. B. To demonstrate the function of a filter.
C. To compare two different methods. D. To prove how simply DNA-sucking works.
26. What does the underlined phrase “the concept” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Detecting danger in the air. B. Protecting endangered animals.
C. Sucking DNA out of the air. D. Collecting environmental samples.
27. What do we know about the new method of DNA sampling
A. It distinguishes different DNAs.
B. It collects certain DNA within range.
C. It locates endangered species exactly.
D. It predicts the duration of animals’stay.
28. What can we infer from Clare’s words in the last paragraph
A. She finds inner peace by doing simple things in life.
B. She agrees with the benefits of deep breathing.
C. She adopts brand-new methods of purifying the air.
D. She breathes the air of hope for future studies.
C
There’s a useful concept from psychology that helps explain why good people do things that harm the environment: the false consensus(共识) effect. That’s where we overvalue how acceptable and widespread our own behavior is in society. Put simply, if you’re doing something (even if you secretly know you probably shouldn’t), you’re more likely to think plenty of other people do it too. What’s more, you likely overestimate how much other people think that behavior is broadly OK.
This bias(偏见) allows people to justify socially unacceptable or illegal behaviors. Researchers have observed the false consensus effect in drug use and illegal hunting. More recently, conservationists are beginning to reveal how this effect contributes to environmental damage.
In Australia, people who admitted poaching(偷猎) thought it was much more widespread in society than it really was, and had higher estimates than fishers who obeyed the law. They also believed others viewed poaching as socially tolerable; however, in reality, more than 90% of fishers took the opposite stand on this. The false consensus effect has also shown up in studies examining support for nuclear energy and offshore wind farms.
Just as concepts from psychology can help explain some forms of environmental damage, so too can they help solve it. For example, research shows people are more likely to litter in areas where there’s already a lot of trash thrown around; so making sure the ground around a bin is not covered in rubbish may help.
Factual information on how other people think and behave can be very powerful. Energy companies have substantially reduced energy consumption simply by showing people their difference in electricity use compared to their neighbors. Encouragingly, stimulating people’s natural desire for social position has also been successful in getting people to “go green to be seen”, or to publicly purchase eco-friendly products.
As the research evidence shows, social standards can be a powerful force in encouraging and popularizing environmentally friendly behaviors. Perhaps you can do your bit by sharing this article!
29. Which example best illustrates the false consensus effect
A. A student spends long hours surfing the Internet.
B. A blogger assumes many people dislike his posts.
C. A smoker believes people generally approve of smoking.
D. A driver frequently parks illegally in public places.
30. How did most Australian fishers view the issue of poaching
A. It is contradictory. B. It is impractical.
C. It is widespread. D. It is unacceptable.
31. What do words “go green to be seen” refer to in paragraph 5
A. Develop green habits for better health.
B. Choose green items that are easy to spot in stores.
C. Join green movements for personal fulfillment.
D. Make green choices that others can perceive.
32. What is a recommended approach to solving environmental problems
A. Justify social standards. B. Publicize sustainable practices.
C. Encourage technological innovations. D. Highlight personal responsibilities.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever had the pleasure of popping the small air-filled bubbles that make up a sheet of bubble wrap(气泡膜包装) 33 Have you ever wondered why popping them is so much fun
It turns out that there is some science behind the human connection to bubble wrap. Some experts believe it’s similar to the need to fidget(动来动去). 34 These small actions are all types of fidgeting.
While some people think fidgeting is distracting, it’s actually been shown to increase attention image. 35 Similarly, a study revealed that people report feeling sharper after pop ping bubble wrap. The results also showed that people who popped bubble wrap were calmer afterward than those who did not. So, pop ping bubble wrap may increase people’s ability to pay attention and remember what they learn.
36 In other words, your brain is wired to enjoy it! Early humans had to be on their toes all the time. They needed to be ready to run from wild animals at a moment’s notice. Today, people spend a lot of time sitting, especially at school and at work. As a result, the body may build a lot of muscle tension from lack of movement. Popping bubble wrap helps relax that muscle tension. It reduces stress and anxiety.
In fact, studies have shown that, sometimes, the human brain receives feel-good chemicals like dopamine(多巴胺) after popping bubble wrap. 37
A. It also helps with the memory of information.
B. So that may be why it feels so satisfying!
C. Do you click a pen or bounce your leg while you’re listening
D. Experts also say the enjoyment may be tied to human evolution.
E. Have you ever seen someone else blowing the small bubbles
F. Your brain will benefit a lot from the air-filled bubbles.
G. If so, you know there’s something highly satisfying about it.

It was our turn. We first made the 5 for our tower. My father and three of the strongest men formed a 6 facing each other as they held each other’s arms tightly.

Our base was solid, so my father 9 and we continued building. After the sixth tier(层) was set up, it was my turn.

“SAI BABA! Sai Baba! Sai Baba! Hahahaha!”
“Today is Shimla’s big day!. We have a celebrity visiting our city! Hahahaha!” Rani’s cheeks burned with embarrassment and tears stung her eyes as she elbowed her way to the exit through the crowd of teasing boys in the packed school bus. It wasn’t the first time she’d been called Sai Baba, after the famous Hindu holy man (印度圣人) she’d seen on TV with his trademark afro (爆炸式卷发)towering over his head.
But this time had to be the worst. Rani jumped off the school bus, angry thoughts hovering inside Rani’s head as she marched home in the drizzling rain. Why did her hair have to curl like a giant cotton candy balloon just when she wanted it to behave Why, why, why, fumed Rani as she turned the back door key.
“Rani, is that you ” Mama called from the family room. Suddenly Rani’s cousins, Amit and Sumit, came charging toward her. “How many eggs does Rani have in that nest on her head ” screamed Amit. “Let me get that wig(假发) off Rani’s head!” shouted Sumit. Before she could think, Rani had fled out the door and went back up the road she’d walked down minutes before. Halfway up, she slid unseen behind a green curtain of bamboo. Tearing through the wild growth, she made her way down a narrow mud path into a clearing(空地). She threw her schoolbag on the ground and breathed hard.
“I hate my hair!” she cried. Collapsing on her schoolbag, she bitterly remembered the time she’d spent trying to smooth her hair in vain. Before long, she fell into a fitful (断断续续的) sleep.
“RANI! RAA-AANI!”
Rani woke up to Mama’s calls. She sounded anxious. “I’ll never go home,” she promised herself darkly. Mama let Amit and Sumit make fun of me. Papa would never have done that. He would listen to me and stand by my side. The minutes wore on. Alone in her secret hideout (藏身处), Rani watched the shadow of Mama get longer and beg n to disappear as dusk fell.
Para 1: Suddenly, leaves rustling (沙沙作响), someone or something was making its way into the clearing. Para 2: The next moment Papa was sitting beside her.

【参考范文1】
Suddenly, leaves rustling, someone or something was making its way into the clearing. Could it be Mama, who had spotted signs of her hideout and came back Or could it be just the dusk wind (or fierce animals) brushing through the curtain of bamboo Nervously, she stood up and looked in that direction, her heart racing. But the next moment, what greeted her was her dear Papa’s worried shout for her name and the approaching footsteps, which immediately stirred up Rani’s emotions. “Daddy!” she ran towards Papa and into his warm arms and cried hard, as if to wash away all the frustrations she had been suffering. Simply holding Rani in his arms, he patted her daughter on the back gently, waiting for her to calm down.
The next moment Papa was sitting beside her. Feeling much better, she was finally able to pour out all. “The boys in the school bus teased me, calling me Sai Baba. And Amit and Sumit made fun of my hair when I got home. I hate my hair,” she complained. “Your hair is beautiful. Actually, you are always beautiful the way you are,” papa comforted, stroking (抚摸) through her hair gently and press ng a kiss on her forehead. As for the teasing boys and her cousins, papa promised her that he would do something to stop their foolish behavior. With her papa for company and support, Rina seemed to feel her body injected(被注入) with confidence, confident to face any challenge or adversity that would get in her way. (233 words)
【参考范文2】
Suddenly, leaves rustling, someone or something was making its way into the clearing. Her once calm behavior was replaced with anxiety, as she couldn’t determine what was causing the noise. It could be a wild animal or even a dangerous stranger. Rani’s heart raced as she sat upright, her eyes glancing around the dense vegetation surrounding her. She tried to identify the source of the disturbance. Every second that ticked by seemed like an eternity(永久), until finally, Rani caught sight of a figure emerging from the nearby bushes, and to her relief, it was her father.
The next moment Papa was sitting beside her. Papa’s comforting presence dissolved Rani’s fears and doubts. Her tears told a story of a girl who had felt lost and alone. However, Papa’s kind manner paved the way for her to share her heart and soul with him. She explained everything to him and felt as though she could finally breathe. Papa listened attentively, acknowledging her perspective and reassured Rani that she was unique and beautiful just the way she was. His words of kindness showed Rani that she was loved and valued. The two of them walked hand in hand, heading back home with newfound confidence to face any challenge. (185 words)

M: Will we be home so on
W: We still have an hour left, Jamje. I know the car is hot, but there is nothing I can do about it. Your sister isn’t complaining about it.
M: That’s because Meg is asleep. Besides, I’m not complaining. This shirt is just really uncomfortable. I just wanted to know how long I had to wear it.

W: Wow! I can’t imagine trying to ride it, let alone stopping with it. I bet you can go fast, though.
M: I’ve heard that going fast is easier because it’s heavy. Also, staying on the bike should be easier if we go faster. However, I think that we will be wearing a lot of safety equipment just in case. It may be difficult to stop.
W: Well, please don’t get hurt. I still have a mark from a bicycle accident I had long ago.
M: Don’t worry. We will take it easy. It will be fine because our town is flat.

M: A runner maybe, or tennis. Not a team sport. This product is designed to be used alone.
W: Yes, but it needs to be someone nice. This is a family business. Our main buyers are mothers.
M: Well, what we can do is draw up a list of names in your budget to take back to Mr. Wells.

M: Don’t worry. You’re not aware of our custom in this country.
W: I still don’t understand. What was the right thing to do
M: If you’re offered a drink, you say no at first. Then the host asks again. It doesn’t matter if it’s the second or third time they ask. But after you say no to the first offer, it’s OK to say yes when asked again.
W: Oh no! I feel even more embarrassed now. Do your parents think I’m rude
M: They were surprised at first. But once I explained to them about what it’s like in America, they both laughed. They understand now.
W: Thanks. I would honestly be so sad if they didn’t like me.
M: That won’t happen. They like you a lot. Not only did I tell them that you were at the top of our class, but I told them how good you are at soccer. My dad was very excited. He has a few awards in the sport.
W: That’s a relief.
M: In fact, they wanted me to invite you to our holiday dinner.
W: I’m afraid I’ll be a bit late, but I will absolutely come after our school play. It is the only thing I have going on that day, but it’s important. I was given the honor of acting in it, even though I’m just an exchange student.

A
Back in 1958, I was crazy about the Norfolk and Western 746. The smooth bullet-nose engine with its orange and yellow lines and shiny streamline d black tender(车厢) seemed to have cast a spell on me.
Together the engine and tender measured a little shy of 2 feet—enormous by the toy train standards of the day. Even better, the 746 had a working headlight and smoker, and its tender sang high.
Unfortunately, the amazing 746 also had an amazing price—$50, equal to about $450 today. That was far more than my grandfather could afford. Instead, I had to be content with his little Lionel plastic, which was SIX INCHES shorter than the 746 and had no headlight, no smoker or no sound! But that was the best that my grandfather could give me at that time.
Years passed, and I was in my 30s. Superior sound systems and computer controls dominated toy trains. I never gave a look. My interest in toy trains, I firmly believed, had faded, so did my admiration for the 746, since my grandfather was not with me. The 746 was never called to mind. On an ordinary day, however, I happened to see the 746 outside the window of a train show. Just one-look, I could not look away. Childhood memories that I tried to hide in the depths of my heart raced through my mind, happy or sad.
That day I took the 746 home and placed it in the center of the room, and let my childhood dream sing its way around me. Smoke rose out from the engine and the soft song sounded from its tender. It seemed as if I could see the soft light in grandfather’s eyes and hear his cheerful laughter.
21. Which best describes the 746 in the author’s eyes
A. Its measurement was at a disadvantage.
B. Its price rocketed from $50 to $450.
C. Its beauty had a special appeal.
D. It was the largest train in 1958.
22. How did the author feel when receiving his little Lionel plastic
A. Visibly relieved. B. Slightly discontented.
C. Really delighted. D. Terribly ashamed.
23. What happened to the author in his 30s
A. He left his grandfather alone.
B. He didn’t favor the 746 at all.
C. He admired advanced toy trains.
D. He attempted not to recall the past.
24. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The 746: A Perfect Gift from My Grandfather
B. Toy Trains: Memories of A Generation
C. The 746: Childhood Memories of Love
D. Toy Trains: Childhood in History
B
Two separate research groups in the UK and Denmark have come up with the same idea for a study that could help save endangered species, and have gotten the same results. It involves sucking(吸) environmental DNA from the air that animals leave behind.
“We use a really small pump that pulls the air through, and we hope the DNA gets caught on the filter(过滤器),” said Elizabeth Clare, the lead researcher, “It’s a bit like making coffee You make coffee by sucking water through a filter and leaving the coffee grounds behind. That’s basically what we’re doing; we’re just sucking the air through and hoping that the DNA gets left behind.”
Clare says the concept has been used for years in different ways. Scientists sample pathogens(病原体) from the air, which has been used to help track COVID-19 Environmental DNA can also be collected from water to help ease invasive species.
A big goal for both research teams with the new study is to be able to locate endangered species and help save them. It is important to note that this type of DNA sampling can only be picked up if a species is in the area, so if there were two of the same animal, scientists would not be able to tell which one the DNA came from.
Both research groups also reported certain DNA samples not showing up when they knew an animal had been in the area. They also can’t tell yet how long an animal’s DNA will stick around after it’s been in one area. Clare says she’d like to plan more researches to get these answers.
But one thing is for sure after conducting the study. Clare says she has a whole new perspective on taking a deep breath. “As you know, I’m walking through a jungle or the park or taking my dog for a walk or my kids out to play, and I take a deep breath; I think I just inhaled information about all the things that have been here before, and as a scientist, that’s exciting to think that the information that I’m trying to gather is literally hanging in front of me,” she said.
25. Why does the author mention coffee-making
A. To illustrate how the idea works. B. To demonstrate the function of a filter.
C. To compare two different methods. D. To prove how simply DNA-sucking works.
26. What does the underlined phrase “the concept” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Detecting danger in the air. B. Protecting endangered animals.
C. Sucking DNA out of the air. D. Collecting environmental samples.
27. What do we know about the new method of DNA sampling
A. It distinguishes different DNAs.
B. It collects certain DNA within range.
C. It locates endangered species exactly.
D. It predicts the duration of animals’stay.
28. What can we infer from Clare’s words in the last paragraph
A. She finds inner peace by doing simple things in life.
B. She agrees with the benefits of deep breathing.
C. She adopts brand-new methods of purifying the air.
D. She breathes the air of hope for future studies.
C
There’s a useful concept from psychology that helps explain why good people do things that harm the environment: the false consensus(共识) effect. That’s where we overvalue how acceptable and widespread our own behavior is in society. Put simply, if you’re doing something (even if you secretly know you probably shouldn’t), you’re more likely to think plenty of other people do it too. What’s more, you likely overestimate how much other people think that behavior is broadly OK.
This bias(偏见) allows people to justify socially unacceptable or illegal behaviors. Researchers have observed the false consensus effect in drug use and illegal hunting. More recently, conservationists are beginning to reveal how this effect contributes to environmental damage.
In Australia, people who admitted poaching(偷猎) thought it was much more widespread in society than it really was, and had higher estimates than fishers who obeyed the law. They also believed others viewed poaching as socially tolerable; however, in reality, more than 90% of fishers took the opposite stand on this. The false consensus effect has also shown up in studies examining support for nuclear energy and offshore wind farms.
Just as concepts from psychology can help explain some forms of environmental damage, so too can they help solve it. For example, research shows people are more likely to litter in areas where there’s already a lot of trash thrown around; so making sure the ground around a bin is not covered in rubbish may help.
Factual information on how other people think and behave can be very powerful. Energy companies have substantially reduced energy consumption simply by showing people their difference in electricity use compared to their neighbors. Encouragingly, stimulating people’s natural desire for social position has also been successful in getting people to “go green to be seen”, or to publicly purchase eco-friendly products.
As the research evidence shows, social standards can be a powerful force in encouraging and popularizing environmentally friendly behaviors. Perhaps you can do your bit by sharing this article!
29. Which example best illustrates the false consensus effect
A. A student spends long hours surfing the Internet.
B. A blogger assumes many people dislike his posts.
C. A smoker believes people generally approve of smoking.
D. A driver frequently parks illegally in public places.
30. How did most Australian fishers view the issue of poaching
A. It is contradictory. B. It is impractical.
C. It is widespread. D. It is unacceptable.
31. What do words “go green to be seen” refer to in paragraph 5
A. Develop green habits for better health.
B. Choose green items that are easy to spot in stores.
C. Join green movements for personal fulfillment.
D. Make green choices that others can perceive.
32. What is a recommended approach to solving environmental problems
A. Justify social standards. B. Publicize sustainable practices.
C. Encourage technological innovations. D. Highlight personal responsibilities.

Have you ever had the pleasure of popping the small air-filled bubbles that make up a sheet of bubble wrap(气泡膜包装) 33 Have you ever wondered why popping them is so much fun
It turns out that there is some science behind the human connection to bubble wrap. Some experts believe it’s similar to the need to fidget(动来动去). 34 These small actions are all types of fidgeting.
While some people think fidgeting is distracting, it’s actually been shown to increase attention image. 35 Similarly, a study revealed that people report feeling sharper after pop ping bubble wrap. The results also showed that people who popped bubble wrap were calmer afterward than those who did not. So, pop ping bubble wrap may increase people’s ability to pay attention and remember what they learn.
36 In other words, your brain is wired to enjoy it! Early humans had to be on their toes all the time. They needed to be ready to run from wild animals at a moment’s notice. Today, people spend a lot of time sitting, especially at school and at work. As a result, the body may build a lot of muscle tension from lack of movement. Popping bubble wrap helps relax that muscle tension. It reduces stress and anxiety.
In fact, studies have shown that, sometimes, the human brain receives feel-good chemicals like dopamine(多巴胺) after popping bubble wrap. 37
A. It also helps with the memory of information.
B. So that may be why it feels so satisfying!
C. Do you click a pen or bounce your leg while you’re listening
D. Experts also say the enjoyment may be tied to human evolution.
E. Have you ever seen someone else blowing the small bubbles
F. Your brain will benefit a lot from the air-filled bubbles.
G. If so, you know there’s something highly satisfying about it.

It was our turn. We first made the 5 for our tower. My father and three of the strongest men formed a 6 facing each other as they held each other’s arms tightly. Four more strong men stepped behind, each wrapping his arms around the 7 of a man and giving him a bear hug. Four smaller men climbed onto the backs of the 8 group and stood on their shoulders.
Our base was solid, so my father 9 and we continued building. After the sixth tier(层) was set up, it was my turn.

“SAI BABA! Sai Baba! Sai Baba! Hahahaha!”
“Today is Shimla’s big day!. We have a celebrity visiting our city! Hahahaha!” Rani’s cheeks burned with embarrassment and tears stung her eyes as she elbowed her way to the exit through the crowd of teasing boys in the packed school bus. It wasn’t the first time she’d been called Sai Baba, after the famous Hindu holy man (印度圣人) she’d seen on TV with his trademark afro (爆炸式卷发)towering over his head.
But this time had to be the worst. Rani jumped off the school bus, angry thoughts hovering inside Rani’s head as she marched home in the drizzling rain. Why did her hair have to curl like a giant cotton candy balloon just when she wanted it to behave Why, why, why, fumed Rani as she turned the back door key.
“Rani, is that you ” Mama called from the family room. Suddenly Rani’s cousins, Amit and Sumit, came charging toward her. “How many eggs does Rani have in that nest on her head ” screamed Amit. “Let me get that wig(假发) off Rani’s head!” shouted Sumit. Before she could think, Rani had fled out the door and went back up the road she’d walked down minutes before. Halfway up, she slid unseen behind a green curtain of bamboo. Tearing through the wild growth, she made her way down a narrow mud path into a clearing(空地). She threw her schoolbag on the ground and breathed hard.
“I hate my hair!” she cried. Collapsing on her schoolbag, she bitterly remembered the time she’d spent trying to smooth her hair in vain. Before long, she fell into a fitful (断断续续的) sleep.
“RANI! RAA-AANI!”
Rani woke up to Mama’s calls. She sounded anxious. “I’ll never go home,” she promised herself darkly. Mama let Amit and Sumit make fun of me. Papa would never have done that. He would listen to me and stand by my side. The minutes wore on. Alone in her secret hideout (藏身处), Rani watched the shadow of Mama get longer and beg n to disappear as dusk fell.
Para 1: Suddenly, leaves rustling (沙沙作响), someone or something was making its way into the clearing. Para 2: The next moment Papa was sitting beside her.

【参考范文1】
Suddenly, leaves rustling, someone or something was making its way into the clearing. Could it be Mama, who had spotted signs of her hideout and came back Or could it be just the dusk wind (or fierce animals) brushing through the curtain of bamboo Nervously, she stood up and looked in that direction, her heart racing. But the next moment, what greeted her was her dear Papa’s worried shout for her name and the approaching footsteps, which immediately stirred up Rani’s emotions. “Daddy!” she ran towards Papa and into his warm arms and cried hard, as if to wash away all the frustrations she had been suffering. Simply holding Rani in his arms, he patted her daughter on the back gently, waiting for her to calm down.
The next moment Papa was sitting beside her. Feeling much better, she was finally able to pour out all. “The boys in the school bus teased me, calling me Sai Baba. And Amit and Sumit made fun of my hair when I got home. I hate my hair,” she complained. “Your hair is beautiful. Actually, you are always beautiful the way you are,” papa comforted, stroking (抚摸) through her hair gently and press ng a kiss on her forehead. As for the teasing boys and her cousins, papa promised her that he would do something to stop their foolish behavior. With her papa for company and support, Rina seemed to feel her body injected(被注入) with confidence, confident to face any challenge or adversity that would get in her way. (233 words)

Suddenly, leaves rustling, someone or something was making its way into the clearing. Her once calm behavior was replaced with anxiety, as she couldn’t determine what was causing the noise. It could be a wild animal or even a dangerous stranger. Rani’s heart raced as she sat upright, her eyes glancing around the dense vegetation surrounding her. She tried to identify the source of the disturbance. Every second that ticked by seemed like an eternity(永久), until finally, Rani caught sight of a figure emerging from the nearby bushes, and to her relief, it was her father.
The next moment Papa was sitting beside her. Papa’s comforting presence dissolved Rani’s fears and doubts. Her tears told a story of a girl who had felt lost and alone. However, Papa’s kind manner paved the way for her to share her heart and soul with him. She explained everything to him and felt as though she could finally breathe. Papa listened attentively, acknowledging her perspective and reassured Rani that she was unique and beautiful just the way she was. His words of kindness showed Rani that she was loved and valued. The two of them walked hand in hand, heading back home with newfound confidence to face any challenge. (185 words)

W: We need to be in Germany by Tuesday, otherwise we’ll miss the meeting.

M: I passed. I passed! Oh, I can’t tell you how good that feels. I was so worried about that last exam question. I felt sure I was going to fail. But I didn’t. I passed!
W: Well, I was confident that it would be OK.

W: This refrigerator is never going to come. I ordered it a month ago. And I just got an email saying that it won’t be here until August now!

M: Will we be home so on
W: We still have an hour left, Jamje. I know the car is hot, but there is nothing I can do about it. Your sister isn’t complaining about it.
M: That’s because Meg is asleep. Besides, I’m not complaining. This shirt is just really uncomfortable. I just wanted to know how long I had to wear it.
W: Well, I’m not going to drive any faster. Why don’t you just try to go to sleep like your sister
M: I’m not tired at all. I will just try to read through this article.

W: What is that thing I’ve never seen a bicycle with more than one seat.
M: It’s called a tandem bicycle(双人自行车). I have seen versions with up to three seats. However, this one will just hold Mary and me.
W: Wow! I can’t imagine trying to ride it, let alone stopping with it. I bet you can go fast, though.
M: I’ve heard that going fast is easier because it’s heavy. Also, staying on the bike should be easier if we go faster. However, I think that we will be wearing a lot of safety equipment just in case. It may be difficult to stop.
W: Well, please don’t get hurt. I still have a mark from a bicycle accident I had long ago.
M: Don’t worry. We will take it easy. It will be fine because our town is flat.

W: What Mr. Wells is looking for is a face for his brand, someone who has a large social media presence.
M: What about a professional athlete Maybe not a football star, but someone young and healthy
W: Well, you’re the advertising expert. What sport would you suggest
M: A runner maybe, or tennis. Not a team sport. This product is designed to be used alone.
W: Yes, but it needs to be someone nice. This is a family business. Our main buyers are mothers.
M: Well, what we can do is draw up a list of names in your budget to take back to Mr. Wells.
W: Money is no object. What I would like to see is some artwork.
M: The advertisement might depend on the person you choose.
W: Well, create one advertisement for each person you have in mind. Mr. Wells won’t care who it is. He’ll want to see something real.
M: OK, I’ll have our designer draw something up.

W: I was so embarrassed yesterday. I really thought that it was OK to accept the offer.
M: Don’t worry. You’re not aware of our custom in this country.
W: I still don’t understand. What was the right thing to do
M: If you’re offered a drink, you say no at first. Then the host asks again. It doesn’t matter if it’s the second or third time they ask. But after you say no to the first offer, it’s OK to say yes when asked again.
W: Oh no! I feel even more embarrassed now. Do your parents think I’m rude
M: They were surprised at first. But once I explained to them about what it’s like in America, they both laughed. They understand now.
W: Thanks. I would honestly be so sad if they didn’t like me.
M: That won’t happen. They like you a lot. Not only did I tell them that you were at the top of our class, but I told them how good you are at soccer. My dad was very excited. He has a few awards in the sport.
W: That’s a relief.
M: In fact, they wanted me to invite you to our holiday dinner.
W: I’m afraid I’ll be a bit late, but I will absolutely come after our school play. It is the only thing I have going on that day, but it’s important. I was given the honor of acting in it, even though I’m just an exchange student.
