Four houseplants that anyone can grow
Filling your home with greenery is something that can improve the quality of your indoor air, and help you to relax. So turn your brown thumb green by picking some of these houseplants.
Snake Plant
Snake plants have thicker leaves for keeping water even in drought conditions. They can also tolerate (经受) medium to bright light so you should keep them near a window. But one of the best things about snake plants is that they are great for cleaning indoor air.
Christmas Cactus
The Christmas cactus is one of the most beautiful plants of the holiday season and it seems to be able to do best even if you ignore it. The cactus can tolerate low light but will produce more pink or red flowers in bright light. Getting the plant to produce flowers for the season is a bit harder because it will have to be kept cool beginning in November. Just leave the cactus beside a window at home with the heat off.
Jade Plant
Jade plants can make your home more beautiful with its bright egg-shaped leaves. The plant does well in any lighting and doesn’t need to be watered very often because it stores water in its leaves. This plant is also simple to propagate (繁殖) so you can have one in every room of your home.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera needs very little water, indirect sunlight, and can live in the same pot for years. But you may not know that aloe vera is a plant that can help heal(治愈) minor cuts and burns like sunburns so it is a great addition for your home. When you are cutting leaves to use, don’t cut off more than a third of the plant at one time.
21. What is the author’s advice on making Christmas cactus flower in winter
A. Paying no much attention to it. B. Keeping it growing in low light.

Hiao Khanh, 29, is a member of the Community Malaria (疟疾). Action Team in Ch Rc m commune, Kr ng pa district, Gia Lai province, which is known for having the highest number of malaria cases in Vietnam. In 2020, more than 200 cases were reported across the district.
Hiao Khanh has been working in malaria prevention and control since 2019, after he recovered from malaria. “It was a near-death experience,” said Hiao Khanh. “I had a high fever before getting medical support. After that, I was determined to help reduce sickness and deaths from malaria in my community.”
People in this community depend heavily on the forest to earn a living. They go into the forest to work, and sleep there, putting them at high risk of contracting (感染) malaria. When it rains, the community’s various forest settlements are nearly cut off as the dirt roads are flooded. Hiao Khanh and his team need to use motorbikes to reach different parts of the community to help protect people from malaria.
The team’s main activities are to raise awareness about malaria prevention, provide protective items, and find out people who might have malaria and then transport them to healthcare facilities for testing.
With the right treatment, patients can now be cured in a shorter period of time. However, ensuring individuals stay on track with their treatment remains a challenge. Forest workers, for example, often prefer to return to work as soon as their fever breaks. Part of Hiao Khanh’s work is to find and persuade (说服) patients to come back for munication is an important aspect of his team’s work. They actively listen to people’s concerns, respond to their questions, and stress the importance of completing the full treatment course. “Just a ‘thank you’ from the people is enough to give me strength to continue this job to reduce malaria in my homeland,” said Hiao Khanh.

As a young music therapist in Colorado, Shannon de L’Etoile saw that when mothers were encouraged to sing to their babies, they were amazed by the positive responses they received. She quickly realized that music could be a powerful tool for helping mothers learn more about their infants (婴儿). Soon, de L’Etoile began researching the practice, called infant-directed singing. She says it helps babies learn to regulate their feelings, which allows them to later behave well in school, and in the social and professional world.
“If a mother can sing in a way that catches the infant’s attention, it can help to promote the development of the infant’s brain,” said de L’Etoile. “Infant-directed singing is a way in which mothers can communicate with their babies that most infants can recognize and respond to. But mothers need to be sensitive to infant cues (提示).”
De L’Etoile is working with people at the Linda Ray Intervention Center to create a coaching program that will guide mothers in the practice. She is now in the process of training workers at the center, who will coach mothers for a month in the most beneficial ways to sing to their infants. The process includes watching and recording mothers as they sing to their infants and then showing these mothers how they can be sensitive to their infants’ feelings while singing. Mothers will be able to notice if the infant is benefiting because the baby will look longer at the mother and reach a happy state.
As part of the study, after each mother completes the training, de L’Etoile will work with a music engineering program to study recordings of the mother’s voice. The study result can show changes over time in the mother’s ability to change her singing according to the infant’s feelings. Videos of the babies will also be studied to discover their connections with their mothers over time. De L’Etoile has been working closely with center workers to develop the program so that it will meet the needs of different families.
28. What does the underlined word “regulate” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Manage. B. Produce. C. Hide. D. Observe.
29. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Building a positive parent-child relationship is hard.
B. Not all mothers’singing helps develop the infant’s brain.
C. Mothers can benefit from singing to their babies.
D. Singing is the best way to comfort babies.
30. What is the purpose of de L’Etoile’s coaching program
A. To train babies to respond to their mothers. B. To get babies to reach a happy state.
C. To help mothers notice the babies’ feelings. D. To teach mothers to sing to babies effectively.
31. How will de L’Etoile carry out her study according to the last paragraph
A. By comparing the effects of family members’ voices on babies.
B. By collecting babies’ reactions to videos and voices.
C. By observing changes in mothers and infants after training.
D. By communicating directly with mothers.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科罗拉多州的一位年轻音乐治疗专家Shannon de L’Etoile的研究，她发现母亲对婴儿唱歌时婴儿会有积极的反应，并认为音乐是帮助母亲了解婴儿的有力工具。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后定语从句“which allows them to later behave well in school, and in the social and professional world. (让他们日后在学校、社会和职场中表现良好)”可推知，“regulate their feelings”是一种可以让人们在将来受益的行为，结合常识可推知，学会“管理自己的情绪”会让人们受益，所以regulate与manage同义，意为“控制，管理”。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中de L’Etoile的话“If a mother can sing in a way that catches the infant’s attention, it can help to promote the development of the infant’s brain(如果母亲能以一种吸引婴儿注意力的方式唱歌，这有助于促进婴儿大脑的发育)”可知，母亲的歌声有助于婴儿的发育。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“De L’Etoile is working with people at the Linda Ray Intervention Center to create a coaching program that will guide mothers in the practice. She is now in the process of training workers at the center, who will coach mothers for a month in the most beneficial ways to sing to their infants.(De L’Etoile正在与琳达·雷干预中心的人们合作，创建一个指导母亲们实践的指导项目。她现在正在培训中心的工作人员，他们将在一个月的时间里指导母亲们用最有益的方式向婴儿唱歌。)”可知，De L’Etoile的培训项目在教母亲有效地、正确地给婴儿唱歌。故选D项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As part of the study, after each mother completes the training, de L’Etoile will work with a music engineering program to study recordings of the mother’s voice. The study result can show changes over time in the mother’s ability to change her singing according to the infant’s feelings. Videos of the babies will also be studied to discover their connections with their mothers over time.(作为研究的一部分，在每位母亲完成培训后，de L’Etoile将与一个音乐工程项目合作，研究母亲的声音录音。研究结果显示，随着时间的推移，母亲根据婴儿的感受改变唱歌方式的能力会发生变化。婴儿的视频也将被研究，以发现随着时间的推移他们与母亲的联系)”可知，De L’Etoile通过观察训练后母亲和婴儿的变化来展开她的研究。故选C项。
D
Robots doing chores is nothing new, with Tesla having put forward its cool Optimus robot and DeepMind revealing its latest achievements in robotics. Recently, a robot called Mobile Aloha caught the attention of many at the beginning of 2024, with short videos of it cooking at someone’s home going viral in January.
Developed by a team of researchers at Stanford University in the US, the robot can handle everything for a dish, whether it is chopping(切) vegetables or cracking eggs.
It is also good at various household tasks like watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor and doing laundry. It even knows to shake the pillow after putting on a pillowcase (枕套). An Internet user joked under one video that as long as this thing doesn’t try to kill him while he is asleep, he is in real need of it.
However, a following video posted by one of the researchers, Tony Zhao, and showing Mobile Aloha’s failures proved that the idea of having a robot servant may just be wishful thinking. In the video, Mobile Aloha randomly smashed(打碎) glasses and plates, collided(碰撞) with cabinets(橱柜) and even burned a pot.
It turns out that Mobile Aloha is not a complete self-learning system that can independently navigate new environments. It relies on demonstrations by human operators in its surroundings, meaning that the robot needs to learn from human behavior before completing each task. Also, according to the team, the robot achieves a 95 percent success rate in wiping red wine stains(污渍), 80 percent in pushing chairs, and a me re 40 percent in frying shrimp(虾). In short, it’s far from perfect.
The behavioral problems of AI robots have been bothering scientists for decades. Although AI robots do pretty well in things requiring high-level reasoning like math, they perform worse than a one-year-old child when it comes to simple tasks demanding abilities of perception, reflexes(反射) and mobility, among others.
As the team observed, the interaction between the arm and the base of Mobile Aloha would get quite complex if more flexibility is required in a task. Even a slight deviation(偏差) in the base settings might lead to significant drift in the arms’ motions, resulting in failure to complete the task.
32. What are paragraphs 2-3 mainly about
A. Mobile Aloha’s chief functions. B. Mobile Aloha’s original designers.
C Mobile Aloha’s online popularity. D. Mobile Aloha’s possible dangers.
33. What does Tony Zhao’s video suggest
A. AI robots are ready for household chores. B. Mobile Aloha needs further improvement.
C. It is expensive to have robots do chores. D. Robot servants should work under humans’ watch.
34. How can Mobile Aloha best complete a new task
A. By copying how humans do it. B. By performing independently.
C. By learning from previous tasks. D. By seeking help from programmers.
35. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Mobile Aloha—Helping or Messing up B. Mobile Aloha—a Helper!
C. AI Beats Humans. D. AI—Perfect for Housewives.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. A
【解析】

How to Create a Personalized Daily Routine
Figuring out how to create a daily routine (常规) that works for you — and how to stick to it — can take some time. Here are a few steps to help you make a daily routine for yourself, even if you’ve never had one.
●Make a list
Figuring out how to write a daily routine begins by writing down everything you need to get done daily, both at home and at work.
____36____. This is a brain dump, not a to-do list. Simply take down everything you do each day, as well as everything you should get done. No task is too small — if you want to work “brush teeth” into your daily routine, put it on the list.
●____37____
The point of creating a daily routine is to use your most productive (富有成效的) hours for challenging tasks and your least productive hours for the simpler tasks. ____38____ . For example, you might have a doctor’s appointment during the time you usually set aside for work. Arranging free time in your daily routine will help to keep things flowing smoothly despite atypical events.
●Test drive your new routine
Once you’ve created your daily routine, take it for a test drive. Did you schedule your tasks at times that make sense Stick to the routine for at least 30 days. ____39____ . Once your tasks are arranged into the right spots, you should find sticking to your daily routine to be easier than you ever thought.
____40____. But you will soon see the benefits when your productivity rises and you find you actually have pockets of free time.
A. Be open to flexibility (灵活性)
B. Keep the structure every day
C. Change any scheduling that isn’t working
D. Don’t worry about how you organize this list
E. Creating a daily routine may seem like a difficult task at first
F. You also need to create a reasonable routine you can stick to
G. But life can get in the way of even the most detailed routines
【答案】36. D 37. A 38. G 39. C 40. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何创建个性化的日常计划。
【36题详解】
根据下文“This is a brain dump, not a to-do list. Simply take down everything you do each day, as well as everything you should get done.(它是把大脑中的想法写下来，不是待办事项清单。简单地记下你每天要做的事情，以及你应该完成的事情)”可知，本段是讲述如何列清单，D项“不要担心你如何组织这个列表”符合语境，故选D。
【37题详解】
根据本段中“The point of creating a daily routine is to use your most productive (富有成效的) hours for challenging tasks and your least productive hours for the simpler tasks.(建立日常计划的关键是用你最有效率的时间去做有挑战性的任务，用你最没有效率的时间去做简单的任务)”可知，本段是关于灵活安排时间和任务，A项“灵活应变”符合语境，故选A。
【38题详解】
根据下文“For example, you might have a doctor’s appointment during the time you usually set aside for work. Arranging free time in your daily routine will help to keep things flowing smoothly despite atypical events.(例如，你可能会在你通常用来工作的时间去看医生。在日常生活中安排一些空闲时间将有助于保持事情顺利进行，尽管发生了一些不寻常的事情)”可知，此处是描日常计划发生小插曲的情况，G项“即使是最详细的例行公事，生活也会阻碍你”符合语境，故选G。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Stick to the routine for at least 30 days.(坚持至少30天)”和下文“Once your tasks are arranged into the right spots, you should find sticking to your daily routine to be easier than you ever thought.(一旦你的任务被安排到正确的位置，你会发现坚持你的日常工作比你想象的要容易得多)”可知，上文说坚持测试日程计划至少30天，后文说一旦计划变得合理，日常工作会更容易，故空处应是说测试之后修改不合理之处，计划一旦被安排得妥当，日常工作就变得更容易，C项“改变任何不起作用的计划”和上下文衔接得当，故选C。
【40题详解】
根据下文“But you will soon see the benefits when your productivity rises and you find you actually have pockets of free time.(但当你的效率提高了，你很快就会看到好处，你会发现你真的有了一些空闲时间)”可知，下文是说好处，空处和下文是转折关系，E项“一开始，制定日常计划似乎是一项艰巨的任务”符合语境，故选E。

Hiao Khanh, 29, is a member of the Community Malaria (疟疾). Action Team in Ch Rc m commune, Kr ng pa district, Gia Lai province, which is known for having the highest number of malaria cases in Vietnam. In 2020, more than 200 cases were reported across the district.
Hiao Khanh has been working in malaria prevention and control since 2019, after he recovered from malaria. “It was a near-death experience,” said Hiao Khanh. “I had a high fever before getting medical support. After that, I was determined to help reduce sickness and deaths from malaria in my community.”
People in this community depend heavily on the forest to earn a living. They go into the forest to work, and sleep there, putting them at high risk of contracting (感染) malaria.

With the right treatment, patients can now be cured in a shorter period of time. However, ensuring individuals stay on track with their treatment remains a challenge. Forest workers, for example, often prefer to return to work as soon as their fever breaks. Part of Hiao Khanh’s work is to find and persuade (说服) patients to come back for munication is an important aspect of his team’s work.

As a young music therapist in Colorado, Shannon de L’Etoile saw that when mothers were encouraged to sing to their babies, they were amazed by the positive responses they received. She quickly realized that music could be a powerful tool for helping mothers learn more about their infants (婴儿). Soon, de L’Etoile began researching the practice, called infant-directed singing. She says it helps babies learn to regulate their feelings, which allows them to later behave well in school, and in the social and professional world.
“If a mother can sing in a way that catches the infant’s attention, it can help to promote the development of the infant’s brain,” said de L’Etoile. “Infant-directed singing is a way in which mothers can communicate with their babies that most infants can recognize and respond to. But mothers need to be sensitive to infant cues (提示).”
De L’Etoile is working with people at the Linda Ray Intervention Center to create a coaching program that will guide mothers in the practice. She is now in the process of training workers at the center, who will coach mothers for a month in the most beneficial ways to sing to their infants. The process includes watching and recording mothers as they sing to their infants and then showing these mothers how they can be sensitive to their infants’ feelings while singing. Mothers will be able to notice if the infant is benefiting because the baby will look longer at the mother and reach a happy state.
As part of the study, after each mother completes the training, de L’Etoile will work with a music engineering program to study recordings of the mother’s voice. The study result can show changes over time in the mother’s ability to change her singing according to the infant’s feelings. Videos of the babies will also be studied to discover their connections with their mothers over time. De L’Etoile has been working closely with center workers to develop the program so that it will meet the needs of different families.
28. What does the underlined word “regulate” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Manage. B. Produce. C. Hide. D. Observe.
29. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Building a positive parent-child relationship is hard.
B. Not all mothers’singing helps develop the infant’s brain.
C. Mothers can benefit from singing to their babies.
D. Singing is the best way to comfort babies.
30. What is the purpose of de L’Etoile’s coaching program
A. To train babies to respond to their mothers. B. To get babies to reach a happy state.
C. To help mothers notice the babies’ feelings. D. To teach mothers to sing to babies effectively.
31. How will de L’Etoile carry out her study according to the last paragraph
A. By comparing the effects of family members’ voices on babies.
B. By collecting babies’ reactions to videos and voices.
C. By observing changes in mothers and infants after training.
D. By communicating directly with mothers.

Robots doing chores is nothing new, with Tesla having put forward its cool Optimus robot and DeepMind revealing its latest achievements in robotics. Recently, a robot called Mobile Aloha caught the attention of many at the beginning of 2024, with short videos of it cooking at someone’s home going viral in January.
Developed by a team of researchers at Stanford University in the US, the robot can handle everything for a dish, whether it is chopping(切) vegetables or cracking eggs.
It is also good at various household tasks like watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor and doing laundry. It even knows to shake the pillow after putting on a pillowcase (枕套). An Internet user joked under one video that as long as this thing doesn’t try to kill him while he is asleep, he is in real need of it.
However, a following video posted by one of the researchers, Tony Zhao, and showing Mobile Aloha’s failures proved that the idea of having a robot servant may just be wishful thinking. In the video, Mobile Aloha randomly smashed(打碎) glasses and plates, collided(碰撞) with cabinets(橱柜) and even burned a pot.
It turns out that Mobile Aloha is not a complete self-learning system that can independently navigate new environments. It relies on demonstrations by human operators in its surroundings, meaning that the robot needs to learn from human behavior before completing each task. Also, according to the team, the robot achieves a 95 percent success rate in wiping red wine stains(污渍), 80 percent in pushing chairs, and a me re 40 percent in frying shrimp(虾). In short, it’s far from perfect.
The behavioral problems of AI robots have been bothering scientists for decades. Although AI robots do pretty well in things requiring high-level reasoning like math, they perform worse than a one-year-old child when it comes to simple tasks demanding abilities of perception, reflexes(反射) and mobility, among others.
As the team observed, the interaction between the arm and the base of Mobile Aloha would get quite complex if more flexibility is required in a task. Even a slight deviation(偏差) in the base settings might lead to significant drift in the arms’ motions, resulting in failure to complete the task.
32. What are paragraphs 2-3 mainly about
A. Mobile Aloha’s chief functions. B. Mobile Aloha’s original designers.
C. Mobile Aloha’s online popularity. D. Mobile Aloha’s possible dangers.
33. What does Tony Zhao’s video suggest
A. AI robots are ready for household chores. B. Mobile Aloha needs further improvement.
C. It is expensive to have robots do chores. D. Robot servants should work under humans’ watch.
34. How can Mobile Aloha best complete a new task
A. By copying how humans do it. B. By performing independently.
C. By learning from previous tasks. D. By seeking help from programmers.
35. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Mobile Aloha—Helping or Messing up B. Mobile Aloha—a Helper!
C. AI Beats Humans. D. AI—Perfect for Housewives.
