“You like pottery（陶艺）more than you like science,” a family member said. I knew the comment was made lightly, but I felt frustrated and disappointed. I had worked so hard to achieve a balance between my scientific and artistic pursuits. Why was my creative side still seen as a weakness and a disturbance, in opposition to my science
As a little girl, I created art by breaking up eggshells, dying them, and gluing them to a cloth. I also conducted science experiments with my mom, a high school science teacher, on the back porch. In college, I loved my chemistry courses and research work, and I regarded cooking as my creative outlet, hosting weekly dinner parties for friends.
Yet I heard time and again that creative expression and science were not possible together. When my college roommate concluded with a personality test that I was the “creative” type, the rest of my friends said that couldn’t be right, because “I was a scientist and therefore was not creative.” As I was preparing for graduate school and studying for the chemistry GRE test, I realized I talked about science the same way I would paint a picture, explaining concepts in broad strokes（粗线条地）—in part because I struggled to remember technical scientific terminology. I worried my way of thinking wouldn’t fit in with “proper” scientists. In the end, though, my desire to pursue a scientific career won out. I figured I would continue to find a way to balance my research with my creative pursuits, regardless of what others thought.
When in graduate school I found pottery, which I could pursue on evenings and weekends. After my first class, I was attracted. It has inspired me to more intentionally mix my art with my science. I keep a notebook at my lab table filled with words of mug（马克杯）designs inspired by my experiments. Through the challenge of getting my paper into its core concepts in such a way that it could be displayed on a mug, I gained a better understanding of my project. Pottery has now turned into a way for me to train my brain to be creative and think outside the box.
24. What did the family member think of the author’s pottery
A. It still had room for improvement. B. It would relax the author in her work.
C. It made up for the author’s weakness. D. It did no good to the author’s career.
25. How did the author show her creativity as a college student
A. By dying eggshells. B. By performing science experiments.
C. By doing some cooking. D. By attending social parties.
26. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 3
A. She didn’t get along well with her classmates in college.
B. She nearly gave up her pursuit of art.
C. She once doubted her way of understanding science.
D. She was angry about being misunderstood by friends.
27. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A. The notebook. B. The design of the mug.
C. The challenge of the paper. D. The author’s science research.
C
Increased involvement from grandparents can be crucial in a child’s development. From helping children navigate stressful situations to giving kids that little extra bit of love and care, grandparents play an important role in the well-being of a child. Now, there’s scientific data to back this up.
According to a study of over 1,500 children, conducted by Professor Ann Buchanan from the Department of Social Policy and Intervention at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, children who have tight-knit relationships with their grandparents tend to have fewer problems, both emotionally and when it comes to their behavior. Besides, children also have less difficulty when interacting and maintaining relationships with others.
Kimberly Agresta, the co-founder of Englewood’s Agresta Psychotherapy Group, has also noticed in a study the significant benefits of allowing grandparents to be more involved in children’s lives. “If parents regularly involve grandparents in their child’s life early on, a child can develop real emotional closeness to their grandparents and begin to see them as a source of strong social support,” she stated in an interview. “So a child will feel they have other adults, aside from their parents, who care about them in the same way, and this adds to their sense of stability and security.”
She continued, “Stressful situations are less impactful to such children because they have other people in their lives who they have these attachments to and support from.” This is because grandparents are generally not responsible for disciplining or raising the child, and they’re able to love the child a little more freely and unconditionally than a parent, Agresta explained.
“Grandparents are a wealth of knowledge and information, and not only can they pass on valuable skills from real-life experience, but they can also share the past with their grandchildren,” added Agresta. “They can serve as historians, sharing various traditions and stories about when their own children were growing up, which create s a sense of continuity for a child.” So it looks like it may be time to set up a play date for your kids with their grandparents!
28. What is the impact of children spending time with grandparents according to Buchanan’s study
A. Improved social skills. B. Lower intelligence level.
C. Better academic performance. D. Increased behavioral problems.
29. How does Agresta probably describe grandparents’ treating their children
A. More critical. B. More positive. C. Less supportive. D. Less judgmental.
30. What does Agresta talk about in the last paragraph
A. The features of grandparents’ love. B. Various roles grandparents take on.
C. The typical qualities of grandparents. D. Grandparents’ advantages over parents.
31. How does the author mainly organize the text
A. By quoting a few people’ opinions. B. By analyzing two scientific surveys.
C. By giving the findings of two studies. D. By making comparisons between studies.
D
A new study shows that female academics are significantly underrepresented in winning academic prizes and having awards named after them. Analysis of nearly 9,000 awardees and 346 scientific prizes and medals published in Nature Human Behaviour has found that men win eight prizes for every one won by a woman if the award is named after a man. These awards represent almost two-thirds of all scientific prizes. Female academics are, however, more likely to win awards that have been named after other notable female scientists, with 47% of those awards going to women and 53% to men.
Dr Katja Gehmlich, Associate Professor in the Institute of Cardiovascular Science at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study, said, “The gender gap between awardees in scientific prizes is sadly a product of a long, systematic issue of poor representation of women in sciences. Despite decades of efforts to rebalance this issue, our study shows that women are still poorly recognized for their scientific contributions, and men are far more likely to win prizes and awards, in particular, if those awards are named after other men.
“It seems particularly shocking to me that awards named after women still see more than half of prizes going to men. We further propose a list of actions to address and overcome these issues but are aware this will be a long process. The Nominate Her movement is one way that the scientific community can begin to address this,” said Dr Gehmlich.
Prof Stefan Krause from the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study said, “Our data is indicative of much wider issues of gender inequality within sciences. Our current publication is an initial attempt to understand the causes of such striking gender inequality and to promote discussion on the subject within our scientific communities.”
“Research culture has a lot to do to improve the gender prize gap, as well as efforts to address the inequality that sees almost two-thirds of prizes currently named after men. More pathways may also be needed, such as renaming or getting rid of gender names associated with some awards,” added Prof Krause.
32. How are awards named after female scientists distributed between genders
A. Males are in the majority.
B. Females take up a bit more than half.
C. They are almost entirely awarded to females.
D. They are evenly distributed between males and females.
33. What’s Dr Gehmlich’s attitude toward gender inequality in scientific prizes
A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Uncaring. D. Disappointed.
34. What suggestion does Prof Krause offer to narrow the gender gap
A. Establishing gender rates for awards.
B. Increasing the number of female judges.
C. Encouraging more women to enter scientific fields.
D. Renaming or removing gender names from awards.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Achievements of women in science B. The role of men in the scientific world
C. Gender inequality in scientific awards D. Future of gender equality in academia

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When attending holiday parties, we are eager to help our hosts in the kitchen, with food and drink service, and with post-party cleanup, which sometimes causes more trouble and stress for a host. 36 Here’s what professional event planners recommend.
Be sure to respond in a timely manner. 37 If the invitation asks you to respond, do so well before the host has to reach out to confirm your attendance. Hosts who don’t want their guests to help out during the party can hint that all has been taken care of right on the invitation.
38 Asking a host if you can assist on the event date can be overwhelming, but extending that offer while the host is still planning the party and putting the details together may prove more useful. If you are someone who loves to help, contact the host in advance and offer your assistance. 39
Don’t show up early. Respect the event’s start time and arrive on time or 5 minutes later than the time on the invitation. If the invitation says 7:15 pm, guests should arrive between 7:15 and 7:20.
When the party is over, don’t stay. At the end of the evening, you can make one last offer to help the host tidy up the space. But if they refuse, don’t insist. 40 So it’s the guest’s responsibility to leave at an appropriate hour.
A. Consider offering help to the host ahead of time.
B. So what can you do to really help holiday hosts
C. Contact the host to know the details about the party.
D. Many hosts are too polite to tell people it’s time to go.
E. Being a good guest begins long before the party begins.
F. This way, the host can know an extra pair of hands is available as needed.
G. The invitation phase serves as a prime opportunity to clarify the event’s tone.

A group of Chinese researchers issued a data map of the soil organic carbon（SOC）content for global black soil areas, 56 （reveal）the quantification of agroecosystems and global food security, according to the recent issue of the journal Remote Sensing of Environment.
Research has shown that carbon cycle is 57 （significant）influenced by agricultural soils. The accuracy mapping of SOC content can help to clarify the carbon sequestration capacity（碳汇能力）, quantify agroecosystem and contribute 58 global food security. But it is still challenging to acquire 59 （rely）SOC content databases.
The study 60 （publish）in the journal was done by researchers from the Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. According to the journal, the researchers 61 （collect）more than 191,000 scenes of remote sensing images and elevation model data, and used meta-learning convolutional neural network model 62 （generate）high-resolution data map for global black soil regions.
The data in the study indicates that the SOC content in the global black soil regions shows a decreasing trend, which can be divided into the significant decrease phase from 1984 to 2000, 63 the moderate decrease phase from 2001 to 2021.
The result from the study also shows that the four major black soil 64 （region）in the world have different rates of SOC decline. The SOC decline rates of the Russian-Ukrainian Plain and the Pampas Plain of South America are higher than 65 of the northeast China and the Mississippi River Basin in North America.

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。
I was always afraid of water. This fear could not be explained, but I knew that the moment I stepped near any body of water, my legs would turn to jelly （果冻）. I would imagine myself drowning in the water and thrashing around（乱扑腾） helplessly. That was why I had never gone into a swimming pool until swimming became a school requirement. My school wanted all pupils to pass a swimming test, and if they could not, then they would have to attend weekly swimming lessons in school, which made me tremble.
Thus, my parents signed me up for swimming lessons at the pool near my house. With great unwillingness, I attended those weekly lessons, and each one was great suffering for me. I was naturally clumsy, and my fear of water did not help at all. Every lesson, I would be spending my time thrashing about in the water, while my classmates would be swimming countless laps effortlessly and even turning over like dolphins in the water. How was I going to pass the test at this rate
In my swimming class, there was an exceptionally athletic girl. Tall and muscular, her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in our class and always looked at me with disdain （鄙视）, especially when I thrashed about hopelessly in the water.
Once, after a particularly long and hard swimming lesson, I spotted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pool. Gathering my courage, I asked gently, “Kathy, can you teach me to swim ” She stared at me coldly. It was as if I stood at the edge of an endless ocean of inadequacy, my fears appearing like dark storm clouds threatening to drown me. Yet, in that moment, a glimmer of hope flashed within me, a desperate longing for guidance and acceptance. Would Kathy’s icy exterior（外表） melt under the warmth of empathy, or would I remain forever thrashing in the sea of my own fears
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To my surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence.“Congratulations!” Kathy said when she learnt I had passed the swimming test.

Enhancing Social Skills in Students
Good social skills are essential for personal and professional success. They enable effective communication and help form strong relationships.
To enhance these skills in students, schools should focus on group activities. Participating in team sports or collaborative projects can improve team work and communication abilities. Additionally, incorporating classes on effective communication, including listening and expressing oneself clearly, would be beneficial. Hosting social events and encouraging involvement in community services can also provide practical experience in diverse social settings.
Developing these skills is crucial for students to navigate life’s challenges and build a supportive community.
第二节 参考范文：
Tomy surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence. From then on, Kathy stayed back for about an hour after every swimming lesson to coach me. She taught me how to propel myself forward in the water and I gradually gained confidence in the pool. Slowly but surely, I improved under her guidance and encouragement. Four months later, it was time for me to take my swimming test. I jumped into the pool and followed all of Kathy’s advice. I swam gracefully, just like a fish, and passed the test with flying colours.
“Congratulations!” Kathy said when she learnt I had passed the swimming test. I threw my arms around her and hugged her tightly. “Thank you! You’re a wonderful friend! If it had not been for you, I would not have done so well!” I exclaimed. Since then, our friendship has blossomed. We met frequently to have fun with each other, sharing both joy and sorrow. Surprisingly, I grew to love the water. A friend like Kathy is hard to come by. She has a heart of gold and I will definitely treasure our precious friendship.

M: Most residents in our city attach importance to environmental issues and become aware of their responsibility in this respect, according to a recent survey. The public are found to have been more focused on their living conditions, such as drinking water, air quality and noise pollution. The respondents gave a high score to describe the level of their satisfaction about their surroundings. A total of 1,500 people responded to the survey. And most of them gave a positive assessment of the city’s environmental protection efforts, especially the improvement of air quality. Most respondents said they agreed with the belief that everyone should develop the awareness of environmental protection. Some respondents said they willingly contributed financially to the environmental department, and they had taken part in some forms of environmental protection campaigns, while others said the cost of the environmental improvement should be paid by public finance or borne by those who caused it. It is reported that driving less has replaced tree-planting and rubbish picking as the main volunteer activity.

“You like pottery（陶艺）more than you like science,” a family member said. I knew the comment was made lightly, but I felt frustrated and disappointed. I had worked so hard to achieve a balance between my scientific and artistic pursuits. Why was my creative side still seen as a weakness and a disturbance, in opposition to my science
As a little girl, I created art by breaking up eggshells, dying them, and gluing them to a cloth. I also conducted science experiments with my mom, a high school science teacher, on the back porch. In college, I loved my chemistry courses and research work, and I regarded cooking as my creative outlet, hosting weekly dinner parties for friends.
Yet I heard time and again that creative expression and science were not possible together. When my college roommate concluded with a personality test that I was the “creative” type, the rest of my friends said that couldn’t be right, because “I was a scientist and therefore was not creative.” As I was preparing for graduate school and studying for the chemistry GRE test, I realized I talked about science the same way I would paint a picture, explaining concepts in broad strokes（粗线条地）—in part because I struggled to remember technical scientific terminology. I worried my way of thinking wouldn’t fit in with “proper” scientists. In the end, though, my desire to pursue a scientific career won out. I figured I would continue to find a way to balance my research with my creative pursuits, regardless of what others thought.
When in graduate school I found pottery, which I could pursue on evenings and weekends. After my first class, I was attracted. It has inspired me to more intentionally mix my art with my science. I keep a notebook at my lab table filled with words of mug（马克杯）designs inspired by my experiments. Through the challenge of getting my paper into its core concepts in such a way that it could be displayed on a mug, I gained a better understanding of my project. Pottery has now turned into a way for me to train my brain to be creative and think outside the box.
24. What did the family member think of the author’s pottery
A. It still had room for improvement. B. It would relax the author in her work.
C. It made up for the author’s weakness. D. It did no good to the author’s career.
25. How did the author show her creativity as a college student
A. By dying eggshells. B. By performing science experiments.
C. By doing some cooking. D. By attending social parties.
26. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 3
A. She didn’t get along well with her classmates in college.
B. She nearly gave up her pursuit of art.
C. She once doubted her way of understanding science.
D. She was angry about being misunderstood by friends.
27. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A. The notebook. B. The design of the mug.
C. The challenge of the paper. D. The author’s science research.
C
Increased involvement from grandparents can be crucial in a child’s development. From helping children navigate stressful situations to giving kids that little extra bit of love and care, grandparents play an important role in the well-being of a child. Now, there’s scientific data to back this up.
According to a study of over 1,500 children, conducted by Professor Ann Buchanan from the Department of Social Policy and Intervention at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, children who have tight-knit relationships with their grandparents tend to have fewer problems, both emotionally and when it comes to their behavior. Besides, children also have less difficulty when interacting and maintaining relationships with others.
Kimberly Agresta, the co-founder of Englewood’s Agresta Psychotherapy Group, has also noticed in a study the significant benefits of allowing grandparents to be more involved in children’s lives. “If parents regularly involve grandparents in their child’s life early on, a child can develop real emotional closeness to their grandparents and begin to see them as a source of strong social support,” she stated in an interview. “So a child will feel they have other adults, aside from their parents, who care about them in the same way, and this adds to their sense of stability and security.”
She continued, “Stressful situations are less impactful to such children because they have other people in their lives who they have these attachments to and support from.” This is because grandparents are generally not responsible for disciplining or raising the child, and they’re able to love the child a little more freely and unconditionally than a parent, Agresta explained.
“Grandparents are a wealth of knowledge and information, and not only can they pass on valuable skills from real-life experience, but they can also share the past with their grandchildren,” added Agresta. “They can serve as historians, sharing various traditions and stories about when their own children were growing up, which create s a sense of continuity for a child.” So it looks like it may be time to set up a play date for your kids with their grandparents!
28. What is the impact of children spending time with grandparents according to Buchanan’s study
A. Improved social skills. B. Lower intelligence level.
C. Better academic performance. D. Increased behavioral problems.
29. How does Agresta probably describe grandparents’ treating their children
A. More critical. B. More positive. C. Less supportive. D. Less judgmental.
30. What does Agresta talk about in the last paragraph
A. The features of grandparents’ love. B. Various roles grandparents take on.
C. The typical qualities of grandparents. D. Grandparents’ advantages over parents.
31. How does the author mainly organize the text
A. By quoting a few people’ opinions. B. By analyzing two scientific surveys.
C. By giving the findings of two studies. D. By making comparisons between studies.
D
A new study shows that female academics are significantly underrepresented in winning academic prizes and having awards named after them. Analysis of nearly 9,000 awardees and 346 scientific prizes and medals published in Nature Human Behaviour has found that men win eight prizes for every one won by a woman if the award is named after a man. These awards represent almost two-thirds of all scientific prizes. Female academics are, however, more likely to win awards that have been named after other notable female scientists, with 47% of those awards going to women and 53% to men.
Dr Katja Gehmlich, Associate Professor in the Institute of Cardiovascular Science at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study, said, “The gender gap between awardees in scientific prizes is sadly a product of a long, systematic issue of poor representation of women in sciences. Despite decades of efforts to rebalance this issue, our study shows that women are still poorly recognized for their scientific contributions, and men are far more likely to win prizes and awards, in particular, if those awards are named after other men.
“It seems particularly shocking to me that awards named after women still see more than half of prizes going to men. We further propose a list of actions to address and overcome these issues but are aware this will be a long process. The Nominate Her movement is one way that the scientific community can begin to address this,” said Dr Gehmlich.
Prof Stefan Krause from the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study said, “Our data is indicative of much wider issues of gender inequality within sciences. Our current publication is an initial attempt to understand the causes of such striking gender inequality and to promote discussion on the subject within our scientific communities.”
“Research culture has a lot to do to improve the gender prize gap, as well as efforts to address the inequality that sees almost two-thirds of prizes currently named after men. More pathways may also be needed, such as renaming or getting rid of gender names associated with some awards,” added Prof Krause.
32. How are awards named after female scientists distributed between genders
A. Males are in the majority.
B. Females take up a bit more than half.
C. They are almost entirely awarded to females.
D. They are evenly distributed between males and females.
33. What’s Dr Gehmlich’s attitude toward gender inequality in scientific prizes
A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Uncaring. D. Disappointed.
34. What suggestion does Prof Krause offer to narrow the gender gap
A. Establishing gender rates for awards.
B. Increasing the number of female judges.
C. Encouraging more women to enter scientific fields.
D. Renaming or removing gender names from awards.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Achievements of women in science B. The role of men in the scientific world
C. Gender inequality in scientific awards D. Future of gender equality in academia

When attending holiday parties, we are eager to help our hosts in the kitchen, with food and drink service, and with post-party cleanup, which sometimes causes more trouble and stress for a host. 36 Here’s what professional event planners recommend.
Be sure to respond in a timely manner. 37 If the invitation asks you to respond, do so well before the host has to reach out to confirm your attendance. Hosts who don’t want their guests to help out during the party can hint that all has been taken care of right on the invitation.
38 Asking a host if you can assist on the event date can be overwhelming, but extending that offer while the host is still planning the party and putting the details together may prove more useful. If you are someone who loves to help, contact the host in advance and offer your assistance. 39
Don’t show up early. Respect the event’s start time and arrive on time or 5 minutes later than the time on the invitation. If the invitation says 7:15 pm, guests should arrive between 7:15 and 7:20.
When the party is over, don’t stay. At the end of the evening, you can make one last offer to help the host tidy up the space. But if they refuse, don’t insist. 40 So it’s the guest’s responsibility to leave at an appropriate hour.
A. Consider offering help to the host ahead of time.
B. So what can you do to really help holiday hosts
C. Contact the host to know the details about the party.
D. Many hosts are too polite to tell people it’s time to go.
E. Being a good guest begins long before the party begins.
F. This way, the host can know an extra pair of hands is available as needed.
G. The invitation phase serves as a prime opportunity to clarify the event’s tone.

A group of Chinese researchers issued a data map of the soil organic carbon（SOC）content for global black soil areas, 56 （reveal）the quantification of agroecosystems and global food security, according to the recent issue of the journal Remote Sensing of Environment.
Research has shown that carbon cycle is 57 （significant）influenced by agricultural soils. The accuracy mapping of SOC content can help to clarify the carbon sequestration capacity（碳汇能力）, quantify agroecosystem and contribute 58 global food security. But it is still challenging to acquire 59 （rely）SOC content databases.
The study 60 （publish）in the journal was done by researchers from the Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. According to the journal, the researchers 61 （collect）more than 191,000 scenes of remote sensing images and elevation model data, and used meta-learning convolutional neural network model 62 （generate）high-resolution data map for global black soil regions.
The data in the study indicates that the SOC content in the global black soil regions shows a decreasing trend, which can be divided into the significant decrease phase from 1984 to 2000, 63 the moderate decrease phase from 2001 to 2021.
The result from the study also shows that the four major black soil 64 （region）in the world have different rates of SOC decline. The SOC decline rates of the Russian-Ukrainian Plain and the Pampas Plain of South America are higher than 65 of the northeast China and the Mississippi River Basin in North America.

I was always afraid of water. This fear could not be explained, but I knew that the moment I stepped near any body of water, my legs would turn to jelly （果冻）. I would imagine myself drowning in the water and thrashing around（乱扑腾） helplessly. That was why I had never gone into a swimming pool until swimming became a school requirement. My school wanted all pupils to pass a swimming test, and if they could not, then they would have to attend weekly swimming lessons in school, which made me tremble.
Thus, my parents signed me up for swimming lessons at the pool near my house. With great unwillingness, I attended those weekly lessons, and each one was great suffering for me. I was naturally clumsy, and my fear of water did not help at all. Every lesson, I would be spending my time thrashing about in the water, while my classmates would be swimming countless laps effortlessly and even turning over like dolphins in the water. How was I going to pass the test at this rate
In my swimming class, there was an exceptionally athletic girl. Tall and muscular, her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in our class and always looked at me with disdain （鄙视）, especially when I thrashed about hopelessly in the water.
Once, after a particularly long and hard swimming lesson, I spotted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pool. Gathering my courage, I asked gently, “Kathy, can you teach me to swim ” She stared at me coldly. It was as if I stood at the edge of an endless ocean of inadequacy, my fears appearing like dark storm clouds threatening to drown me. Yet, in that moment, a glimmer of hope flashed within me, a desperate longing for guidance and acceptance. Would Kathy’s icy exterior（外表） melt under the warmth of empathy, or would I remain forever thrashing in the sea of my own fears
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To my surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence.“Congratulations!” Kathy said when she learnt I had passed the swimming test.

Enhancing Social Skills in Students
Good social skills are essential for personal and professional success. They enable effective communication and help form strong relationships.
To enhance these skills in students, schools should focus on group activities. Participating in team sports or collaborative projects can improve team work and communication abilities. Additionally, incorporating classes on effective communication, including listening and expressing oneself clearly, would be beneficial. Hosting social events and encouraging involvement in community services can also provide practical experience in diverse social settings.
Developing these skills is crucial for students to navigate life’s challenges and build a supportive community.
第二节 参考范文：
Tomy surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence. From then on, Kathy stayed back for about an hour after every swimming lesson to coach me. She taught me how to propel myself forward in the water and I gradually gained confidence in the pool. Slowly but surely, I improved under her guidance and encouragement. Four months later, it was time for me to take my swimming test. I jumped into the pool and followed all of Kathy’s advice. I swam gracefully, just like a fish, and passed the test with flying colours.
“Congratulations!” Kathy said when she learnt I had passed the swimming test. I threw my arms around her and hugged her tightly. “Thank you! You’re a wonderful friend! If it had not been for you, I would not have done so well!” I exclaimed. Since then, our friendship has blossomed. We met frequently to have fun with each other, sharing both joy and sorrow. Surprisingly, I grew to love the water. A friend like Kathy is hard to come by. She has a heart of gold and I will definitely treasure our precious friendship.

M: Why I’m not into gardening at all. And neither is my best friend. I’m telling you that we won’t get involved.
W: Oh, don’t feel so bored, Harry. I’ve heard that we are going to plant vegetables around the school next month. Then, when they are mature, we’ll pick them. So, we’ll be cooking them in the school kitchen under the guidance of teachers in four months. This is a meaningful activity. It is said that our headmaster spent a long time planning it. As students in our school, we shouldn’t let him down.
M: Hmm... When I see a plate of vegetable sauce in front of me, I’ll believe you!
W: OK, but I want to tell you an activity rule from our headmaster: The students who don’t like to do some gardening will have to do the cooking.
M: Hey, that’s not fair.

M: Most residents in our city attach importance to environmental issues and become aware of their responsibility in this respect, according to a recent survey. The public are found to have been more focused on their living conditions, such as drinking water, air quality and noise pollution. The respondents gave a high score to describe the level of their satisfaction about their surroundings. A total of 1,500 people responded to the survey. And most of them gave a positive assessment of the city’s environmental protection efforts, especially the improvement of air quality. Most respondents said they agreed with the belief that everyone should develop the awareness of environmental protection. Some respondents said they willingly contributed financially to the environmental department, and they had taken part in some forms of environmental protection campaigns, while others said the cost of the environmental improvement should be paid by public finance or borne by those who caused it. It is reported that driving less has replaced tree-planting and rubbish picking as the main volunteer activity.
