What will you do when you feel like a failure Feeling like a failure is part of the human experiences. Treat yourself with kindness and understand that failure does not define you, but it is a stepping stone on your journey. When you’re ready, take action and challenge yourself.
As some friends were deeply lost in the world of yoga and mindfulness, I’ve personally struggled with the feeling of failure, not on the yoga mat, but on the road to my entrepreneurship （创业）. It all began several years ago when I threw myself into the business, driven by my passion and a dream.
In the early days, optimism flowed freely, but financial struggles and sleepless nights soon followed. I questioned my decision and felt like the biggest failure. However, every difficulty became a stepping stone towards growth. I learned more from my failures than from my successes, adapting and growing stronger with each obstacle. I reached out to instructors, friends and family, sought advice and slowly saw a ray of hope. One defining moment came when I gained my first long-term coaching partnership. It was a breakthrough, and my hard work paid off. Over the years, I faced many more failures, but I refused to let them define me.
Today, looking back at my journey, I realize that moments of feeling like a failure were essential to my success. They taught me humility, perseverance and the value of hard work. They shaped me into a successful entrepreneur I am today—someone who doesn’t fear failure but embraces it as a necessary part of the path to success. As we approach the end of the year of graduation, remember that success is not about avoiding failure, but about how we rise after we fall. Let’s support each other on this journey called life. Stay positive, stay inspired and stay true to ourselves.
24．What is the function of paragraph 1
A．To give the definition of failure. B．To list some examples of failure.
C．To introduce the topic of the story. D．To stress the importance of experience.
25．What made the author start a business
A．Internal motivation. B．Advice from a coach.
C．Family financial crisis. D．Encouragement from friends.
26．What can be concluded from the author’s entrepreneurial experience
A．To teach is to learn. B．A word spoken is past recalling.
C．Constant dropping wears away a stone. D．Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched.
27．What does the author want to do in the last paragraph
A．Inspire us with his lessons.
B．Persuade us to major in business.
C．Recall the key moments of his entrepreneurship.
D．Advocate avoiding obstacles on the way to success.
C
Distance running, it turns out, is where humans overweigh compared with other species, even if our two-leggedness makes us about half as fast as other mammals of similar size, on average. So what is it about our bodies and our physiology（生理学） that allows us to undertake such long and tough runs
“Our ancestors developed adaptations for running literally from toe to head,” said Lieberman, a human evolutionary biologist at Harvard University. “There’s no part of our body that running doesn’t touch.”
According to Lieberman, our toes are short so they don’t break while running. And in general, our lower body has larger joints, tendons and muscles than our upper body does to absorb the forces we generate at speed. Strong muscles in our rears（臀部） keep our upper body from falling forward, and our swinging arms stabilize our heads.
But perhaps the biggest adaptations that set humans apart deal with our ability to release heat. Our tall, upright bodies create a lot of surface area for cooling, and the ability to breathe from both the nose and mouth helps dump heat as well.
Humans are also one of the only species with the ability to sweat, and without thick fur, our sweat can easily evaporate（蒸发） from our skin, cooling us down. All of these adaptations led humans to adopt what’s known as persistence hunting long before the invention of early weapons. Rather than chasing down prey, hunters likely followed their prey for miles until the animal was exhausted. Other animals do this too, but none can persistently hunt during the day or in hot climates.
“Hunting gave humans access to more energy, which made our brains grow larger. In turn, our brains have co-evolved alongside, and fed into our ability to run and hunt,” said Missy Thompson, a biologist at Fort Lew is College.
28．Why are humans better at distance running than other species
A．Our two-legged structures. B．Our adaptations for running.
C．Our psychology of living. D．Our desire for challenges.
29．What’s the function of strong muscles in our rears during running
A．They help keep a steady pace. B．They assist in breathing efficiently.
C．They provide strength for the legs. D．They maintain the upper body stable.
30．What is the direct result of sweating
A．Cooling human body temperature. B．Improving the human ability to breathe.
C．Chasing down prey quickly and accurately. D．Exhausting animal body energy persistently.
31．What message does Thompson seem to convey in the text
A．Hunting helps with running training.
B．Hunting benefits the brain development.
C．Hunting is closely linked to human evolution.
D．Hunting and brain development are mutually reinforcing.
D
Until now, dressing robots, designed to help an elderly person or a person with a disability get dressed, have been created in the laboratory as a one-armed machine, but research has shown that this can be uncomfortable for the person in care.
To solve this problem, Dr Jihong Zhu, a robotics researcher at the University of York’s Institute, proposed a two-armed assistive dressing plan, which has been inspired by caregivers who have demonstrated that specific actions are required to reduce discomfort to the individual in their care.
Dr Zhu gathered important information on how care workers moved during a dressing exercise, through allowing a robot to observe and learn from human movements and then, through AI, generate a model that mimics（模仿） how human helpers do their task. This allowed the researchers to gather enough data to illustrate that two hands were needed for dressing and not one, as well as information on the angles that the arms make.
Dr Zhu said, “We know that practical tasks, such as getting dressed, can be done by a robot, freeing up a care worker to concentrate more on providing companionship and observing the general well-being of the individual in their care. It has been tested in the laboratory, but for this to work outside of the lab, we really need to understand how care workers do this task in real life.”
“We’ve adopted a method called learning from demonstration, which means that you don’t need an expert to programme a robot; a human just needs to demonstrate the motion that is required of the robot and the robot learns that action. It is clear that for care workers two arms are needed to properly attend to the needs of individuals,” Dr. Zhu said. “With the current one-armed machine scheme a patient is required to do too much work in order for a robot to assist them, moving their arm up in the air or bending it in ways that they might not be able to do.”
32．What’s the problem with the one-armed dressing robot
A．It causes discomfort. B．It moves too slowly.
C．It has an ugly appearance. D．It lacks flexibility.
33．Dr Zhu got the inspiration for his new plan from ______.
A．some books B．AI models in the market
C．a dressing exercise D．the healthcare providers
34．What’s one purpose of Dr Zhu’s designing a two-armed dressing robot
A．To give better demonstrations.
B．To allow caregivers more time to do other things.
C．To make it a better companion for the needy.
D．To improve the well-being of the care workers.
35．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Taking Care with Caregiving Robots
B．Robot Could Help People Get Dressed
C．Caregiving Robots: the Future of Health Care
D．University Scientists Create Two-Armed Caregiving Robot

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 sat in my parents’ car. Mom had insisted I go with her to pick up Dad from work. Across from Dad’s office is a bike store. That was the day my eleven-year-old eyes first saw the purple BMX Mongoose bike. From that day on, all I could think about was that bike. I even drew pictures of the bike in class. Every evening afterward, at five thirty, I eagerly went along with Mom to get Dad.
And every day I told my parents, “I want that bike!” But they disagreed and replied that I had already had a perfectly good bike at home. I’d argue it was old and ugly, thinking that my happiness depended on that purple bike. Days later, I found the store had sold that bike. I knew I’d never be happy again.
A week later, returning home from school, I tripped over something. Lying in the weeds near a river and some wooded lots, was a bike — the exact bike from the store. “Hey, whose bike is this ” I shouted, scanning the area. No one replied, and there was no one in sight. Maybe its owner didn’t want it any longer. I couldn’t leave it lying in the weeds. So I took it home and hid it behind the garage. Every day after school, I sat there, admiring it. But I didn’t feel like riding and didn’t feel as happy as I had thought. Thinking about the bike made my stomach tighten and uncomfortable.
A few days later, during lunch at school, my friend said, “Did you hear about Tyler, in the other fifth-grade class He lost his new purple BMX Mongoose bike he had just gotten for his birthday. He left it by a river while playing in the woods. It got dark, and he couldn’t find it.”
“I’d never go off and leave a new bike like that. He doesn’t deserve to have that bike,” I replied. My friend added, “Kids say he’s nice. And they say Tyler is upset because his dad worked overtime to buy the bike for him.” For the rest of the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about Tyler.
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。
After school, I returned home and dragged to my room. “I know Tyler’s house,” Mom said. “I’ll drive you there.”

Dear Jack,
How is everything I am more than glad to introduce the high-speed rail to you, as you wish to know the new great invention that greatly influences my life.
High-speed rail appeals to the world with its obvious convenience. People can reach the destination by train within hours. Besides the tickets are accessible and affordable to ordinary people. With an ID card, passengers do not even need paper tickets anymore.
You can imagine what a blessing it is to travel around China by high-speed e and have a ride yourself.
Yours,
Li Hua

After school, I returned home and dragged to my room. The guilt of keeping Tyler’s bike hidden behind the garage weighed heavily on me. I couldn’t enjoy having the bike while knowing that it rightfully belonged to someone else. I wanted to make things right. So I went to my mother and told her what had happened. My mother smiled and tapped me on the shoulder, gently saying, “I believe you have known what you should do to the bike.”
“I know Tyler’s house,” Mom said. “I’ll drive you there.” My heart raced with a mix of nervousness and determination. I walked up to knock the door. “Hey Tyler, I’m really sorry that I hid it and caused you trouble.” To my great surprise, he did not blame. What I saw was a smile slowly spread across his face. I knew exactly what that smile meant --forgiveness for me. From that day on, the purple BMX Mongoose bike was no longer important to me. What mattered was the friendship I had formed with Tyler, which also taught me the important values like honesty.

In 1965, Millard and Linda Fuller decided to trade in their lives as millionaires for a simple life helping others. They made this decision after visiting a community-run farm, where everyone worked together and helped each other. The farm inspired the Fullers to help others, and in 1976 they founded Habitat for Humanity, a non-governmental organization that aims to build houses for poor people around the world. Habitat houses are built by volunteers, and the materials used to build the houses are donated. Because the Fullers believed that people should work to improve their own lives, those who receive a house must also help build their homes. In keeping with their belief that people should help themselves, the Fullers wanted to ensure that houses were not simply handed to people in need. Habitat houses are not free, but they are less expensive than other houses because the organization does not profit from them. Today there are volunteers all around the world. If you can join us, you will help Habitat for Humanity build hope around the world.
