Brendan Slocumb still experiences sadness over his stolen violin, even after more than 30 years have passed.
Following a trip overseas, Slocumb’s family returned only to find their home turned upside down. Slocumb, who had taken up the violin at the age of nine, headed straight for the hiding place beneath his bed. “I took a look. My instrument had vanished. I took another look. It did,” he remarked.
Slocumb drew upon a variety of his life experiences to write The Violin Conspiracy, one of which was the stolen violin. The description narrates the tale of Ray McMillan, a talented violinist, whose family violin is stolen shortly before a world-class music competition.
Born in California, Slocumb was raised in Fayetteville, N.C., and began playing the violin through a public school music program. For both Slocumb and his character Ray, the violin was a means to get away from a difficult childhood and a ticket to college and a promising job. After graduating from college with a degree in music education, Slocumb has taught music to students from primary through high school for more than 20 years.
Writing the book was a chance to celebrate Slocumb’s success and honor the people who helped him along the way. In the book, Ray’s Grandma Nora—his first supporter—is named after Slocumb’s grandmother. And Ray’s mentor (导师) Janice is based on Dr. Rachel Vetter Huang, Slocumb’s college teacher, whom he calls “a life-saving force”.
The Violin Conspiracy has been praised for its lively descriptions. After it came on the market in 2022, thank-yous poured in. Slocumb heard from many black musicians who said: “This is a story that I’ve been carrying along as well. I experienced the exact same things Ray has gone through in the story, and no one would believe me. Now it’s out there in the world to see.”
Why was Slocumb heartbroken about his stolen violin
Because the violin mattered to him.
Because the violin was costly.
Because he bought the violin overseas.
Because he got the violin as a graduation gift.
What can we know about Dr. Rachel Vetter Huang
A. She taught music in a high school. B. She wrote books in her spare time.
C. She had saved Slocumb’s life. D. She gave Slocumb much support.
What message did these black musicians mainly want to express
They made their voice heard.
They went through hard times.
They were thankful for Slocumb’s work.
They were worried about the coming life.
What is the text
A. A children’s story. B. A news report.
C. A lesson plan. D. A book review.

Money-saving customers have long hidden the price tickets on clothing they buy for special occasions and returned them to the retailer the following day. These days, people only do it for social media.
According to a credit card company Barclaycard ’s survey, almost 10% of UK consumers admit to purchasing clothes just to share the pictures on social media and get likes. The “outfit of the day” (OOTD) is returned to the store once it has been posted online. Barclaycard claims that this growing trend may be caused by online merchants’ “try before you buy” policy, which allows customers to pay for clothing they order online after trying it on at home.
But the rise of social media means that everyone, not just superstars, expects to build and maintain a personal brand. Since we’re documenting our lives and posting them online for public judgement, getting caught in the same outfits more than once should be avoided. And the cost of all those outfits of the day adds up, which makes returning a popular way.
There are brands that tailor clothes specially for social media shoppers, like Fashion Nova. “These are clothes made for social media: meant to be worn once, photographed and abandoned,” Allison P. Davis wrote in her report about the brand. Another favourite of the social media age is Rent the Runway, which lets customers rent designer clothing for a fee.
Some, however, are moving in the opposite direction. Groups promoting “work uniforms” have increased greatly in recent years, aiming to free women from “the trouble of clothing decisions”. The concept of the “capsule wardrobe”, which calls for purchasing a small number of high-quality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes, is also making a comeback.
What does the survey by Barclaycard suggest
Britons follow the fashion stars closely.
Some Britons send outfits back after taking pictures.
Britons try on clothes after online purchases.
Some Britons over-order and return clothes.
What’s Fashion Nova’s special service
Renting top designers’ clothes.
Creating unique shopping experiences.
Offering customers single-use clothes.
Helping shoppers improve their clothing style.
What’s the idea behind the “capsule wardrobe”
More choices and less trouble.
Less addition but more enjoyment.
Less uniform and more freedom.
Fewer clothes but better quality.
Why does the author write the text
To compare different wearing trends.
To criticize the “try before you buy” policy.
To support buying high-quality clothes.
To introduce Britain’s new wearing trend.

Random acts of kindness can affect people’s well-being significantly more than expected, according to an August study co-authored by a University of Texas researcher. Based on experiments ranging from giving someone a cup of hot chocolate to delivering cupcakes in the park, the recently published study found that random acts of kindness affected both the giver and receiver significantly more than anticipated. The researchers conducted a total of eight experiments involving students to assess the effects of the acts.
Amit Kumar, the study’s co-author and an assistant marketing and psychology professor at UT, said that although researchers know kindness significantly improves a person’s well-being, people underestimate the effect it will have on the receiver. “One of the interesting questions becomes why people often don’t act in ways that are likely to make them feel better,” said Kumar. “What we were interested in studying here was this belief that these seemingly small p ro-social acts can actually make a significant difference in people’s lives.”
Kumar said because people underestimate the positive effects of these acts, more often than not, people don’t perform them.
One of the experiments included UT students engaging in an exercise in which they performed different acts of kindness for others, such as baking cookies or offering a peer a ride
home, and then filled out a questionnaire afterward. At the same time, the recipients were contacted and asked how they felt. The researchers found that in all of the experiments, both the recipients and performers ended up in better moods than normal after the act.
Co-author Nicholas Epley said the research is part of a broader research program of people avoiding human connection and not reaching out to others despite its positive impact.
“People do act in line with their expectations, but those expectations can be off,” Kumar said. “If you’re underestimating the positive impact that you’re having on other people, that can prevent you from being kinder more often in daily life,” Kumar remarked. He hopes this research helps people become more aware of their impact on others and be kind when they have the opportunity.
What did the recently published study find about random acts of kindness
They affect the giver more than the receiver.
They affect the receiver more than the giver.
They are good for interpersonal relationships.
They can greatly affect people’s happiness.
What does the underlined word “pro-social” mean
A. Negative. B. Kind. C. Dangerous. D. Active.
According to Nicholas Epley, what does the broader program research
A. People escaping human contact. B. People showing random kindness.
C. The positive impact of kindness. D. The importance of human connection.
What’s important if you want to show more kindness in daily life
Realizing the power of your kindness.
Acting in line with expectations.
Having a good opportunity.
Reaching out to others.

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。
We try to escape from the hurt and pain by pretending it doesn’t exist, but although we can try this as we want, in the end, we can’t hide from ourselves. 36 The items listed below are four ways you can open your heart more fully and completely.
Breathe into pain
Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to embrace it instead of running away or trying to mask the hurt. 37 When we run away from sadness that’s unfolding in our lives, it will get stronger and more real.
Ask your heart what it wants
We’re often confused at the next step to take, making pros and cons lists until our eyes bleed and our brains are sore. Instead of always taking this approach, what if we take a few deep breaths then ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here What action feels the most right ” 38
Accept your shadow
Many of us who are on the personal development path get caught up in embracing characteristics we want to have, like happiness, compassion, love, and passion. In this process we end up losing parts of ourselves that make us whole. Try asking yourself a question: 39 Once you’re a little clearer about what exactly you’ve been hiding from yourself, it will get easier to shine your light on it.
Get outside of yourself
After you’ve explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. Now, it’s time to share that— not through telling others, but through being with others. Lose yourself in the beauty of others; see what they can teach you about yourself.
40 Take one at a time, determine which works best for you, and see what you can discover.
What else can I do to improve myself？
Is there anything I’m hiding from myself
Trying to escape is a good way to protect ourselves.
See what comes up, then engage and evaluate the outcome.
When sadness strikes, take a deep breath and lean into it.
Remember, there’s no need to do every one of these at the same time.
We need to learn to open our hearts to the potentials of life and let the world soften us.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Chester was born in a cardboard box with four other cats. He was in a smaller cardboard box marked “free kittens” when Sasha met him and took him home. From that moment on, he loved boxes.
In the mornings he sat, licking his paws and fur with his tongue in the rainbow-colored sunlight. Then he would look around for a box to sleep in.
He slept in hatboxes and shipping boxes, gift boxes and takeout food boxes. He slept in Sasha’s sock drawer, if she left it open. When he was a kitten, the size of a small load of bread, he had slept in shoeboxes. But he grew and grew, and now he was a lot bigger. When he tried to sleep in a shoebox, his furry tummy hung over the sides.
Chester didn’t just sit in boxes, though. Sometimes he sat in flowerpots, pans, or laundry baskets. Chester also liked to sit in the bedroom of Sasha’s dollhouse, her birthday gift, with the furniture in a mess. Sasha had to redecorate the dollhouse every day, but she didn’t mind as long as Chester was happy. Sasha’s mom suggested Chester need a fixed house of his own, but Sasha ignored.
One day Sasha came home from school, and she couldn’t find Chester. He wasn’t in the dollhouse, or her sock drawer. “Mom, Dad!” Sasha yelled. “Chester is gone!”
Sasha’s mom looked in the attic (阁楼). There were boxes and dust balls, and even a mouse
that had escaped Chester’s notice, but no Chester. Sasha’s dad looked in the kitchen cabinets. There were pots and pans, and the old can of soup he thought he’d lost, but no Chester.
Suddenly, “I found him!” Sasha cried.
The big orange cat was inside her mom’s new glass vase, clear glass with blue and green lines. He curled up in it, his fatty body almost jamming the vase.

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, green travel emerges as a crucial concept, which helps to conserve energy and reduce emissions as well as enables us to pursue a healthier lifestyle.
To promote green travel, it’s advisable that we choose public transportation whenever possible instead of private vehicles. Additionally, as for short distances, walking or cycling is an ideal choice. Finally, we should spare no effort to motivate people around us to embrace and engage in green travel, thus better implementing this positive idea.
In conclusion, green travel is not merely a choice but also a responsibility. Let’s put it into action to create a greener world!

He didn’t look happy at all. With his eyes staring at Sasha, he looked like a funny statue. All of the family members burst into laughter. It seemed that Chester was attracted by the clear glass with beautiful lines and the shape of a similar box. However, when he entered the vase, he couldn’t make his way out because he was too fat. So, he was trapped in the vase. Finally, Sasha managed to pull Chester out of the vase with the help of her parents.
Luckily, not only Chester, but the vase, was still in one piece. From that day on, Chester always kept a distance with the vase because he was afraid of being caught again. Sasha also realized that she should help Chester form a good living habit, so she followed her mom’s suggestion and made Chester a fixed house, which of course was in the shape of a box. Every time Sasha went back home, she would greet Chester in his box house. They all felt happy.
范文2
He didn’t look happy at all. Sasha tipped the vase over gently and tried to pull him out, but
Chester just yowled painfully. “We have to break the vase to get him out!” Looking at the annoyed and frightened cat inside, Sasha cried. “No,” said her dad. “If we break it, the glass might hurt
Chester. Maybe we can put butter on the inside of the vase and slide him out. “Sasha’s mom buttered as much as she could reach, and her dad pulled the unhappy cat out.
Luckily, not only Chester, but the vase, was still in one piece. With tears rolling in the eyes, Sasha held the buttery cat in her arms immediately. “Mom, you’re right. We’d better make a house for him now,” Sasha turned to her Mom. After washing the butter out of the vase, Mom brought a refrigerator box and helped Sasha made it into a cozy box house for Chester. They cut out round windows, decorated it all around and put pillows inside for him to sit on. Staring at it with his glittering eyes, Chester loved it.

Dear Mr. Reyes,
I’m writing in reply to your advertisement for volunteers to teach sports at a middle school in Tanzania. I’m interested in working at the school. I’m from Sweden and I’m training to be a primary school teacher in Switzerland. Before that, I was employed as a sports shop manager for ten years, but that was not my first job. After I graduated, I taught the staff in a health club about sports equipment. I later worked as a tennis coach at a local tennis club. I believe I have the right abilities for the job because I’m friendly, I like children, and I can work well in a team. In addition to tennis, I’m also good at basketball and swimming. I can speak fluent German, some French and a little Italian. I’d really like to do something useful with my life, and I also believe this will be a good opportunity to learn about other cultures and to gain more experience in teaching.
I’m available to attend an interview at any time.
Yours faithfully,
Stefanie Jucker
