Today’s list includes a mix of humorous essays, well-researched tips backed by brain science, and advice from the heart. I hope you find a title that helps you slow down, breathe deep, and take a well-deserved reading break.
Tell Me More
I want everyone I know to read it, and we'll never exhaust the discussion topics it presents. Kelly talks in depth about how after her friend Liz was diagnosed with cancer, they both pushed past the surface stuff to form a powerful and lasting friendship. This book will make you want to be a better friend, and also give you insight into how.
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
I've reread this book countless times, as Gottlieb gets to the heart of what matters in life. She explores human nature through the lens(镜头) of psychotherapy. First, Gottlieb introduces us to four of her patients, taking us inside the room to show us what happens. But Gottlieb is also in therapy(治疗) herself, thanks to a sudden breakup, and through her eyes, we get the patient’s perspective as well.
Don’t Overthink It
Nobody wants to live a life of constant overthinking, but it feels like something we're very ready to do. In Don't Overthink It, you'll find actionable strategies that can make an immediate and lasting difference in how you deal with questions both large and small.
Breath
It seems simple: a long, deep breath makes you feel better when you're stressed. But what if we're not breathing correctly from moment to moment Combining stories with scientific research, Journalist James Nestor crafts a convincing case for paying closer attention to our breath and adding corrective measures.

Holly Lillard went outside just to wash the windows. She didn’t go out that day to help save a pet — or a person. But that’s what happened when she found a lost cat named Tucker and closed a 600-mile gap to return him to his owner, McCall.
Tucker’s adventure began in early November 2022, when McCall spent the night in a hotel in the tiny town of Cleveland. The retired electrician was driving from Florida to Michigan to visit a sick relative. Her budget was tight, and her head was full of questions. In the previous two years, McCall had lost her husband to cancer, and their grandson to violence. And a workplace accident had left McCall partially disabled. But even as everything changed around her, the future held one certainty: she’d have her two cats, Tucker and the 20-pounder she calls Fat Cat. The companionship and the routine of having to care for the animals were a lifeline when all else was turned upside down.
McCall planned to spend the night in Cleveland and drive on. When McCall returned from breakfast the next morning, ready to pack up and hit the road again, Tucker was gone from her hotel room. Panicked, she searched along the busy road for hours, but he was nowhere to be found. She couldn’t afford to stay another night. Heartbroken, she got in her car and got back on the interstate.
The next day, Lillard went to wash the back windows of her shop, just down the road across from the hotel where McCall had stayed. The moment she spotted Tucker, she knew he wasn’t one of the usual strays—he trotted(小跑) straight to her and looked well fed. Lillard took Tucker home, and posted his story in a lost-pet Facebook group. McCall, too, had been posting about Tucker. Within hours, someone made the connection, and soon McCall was on the phone with Lillard, hearing Tucker’s cries and sobbing with relief.
McCall’s luck was changing. Lillard’s grandfather was planning a trip to Michigan, and Lillard was happy to shelter Tucker until the cat could take a ride with him. One month later, Tucker was hand-delivered to McCall’s doorstep and reunited with her in the presence of Lillard, whom the misty-eyed owner couldn’t thank too much.
24. What do we know about McCall from paragraph 2
A. She lived alone for two whole years.
B. She retired as an electrician because of her age.
C. She was moving to live with his relative in Michigan.
D. She was seeking comfort from the company of her two pets.
25. Why didn’t McCall spend more time looking for Tucker
A. Because her schedule was extremely tight.
B. Because she was short of money.
C. Because her relative’s condition was worsening.
D. Because she had had enough of Tucker.
26. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. How McCall had Tucker lost.
B. How much McCall missed Tucker.
C. How McCall got reconnected to Tucker.
D. How Lillard got in touch with McCall.
27. Who probably delivered Tucker to McCall in person
A. Lillard. B. Lillard’s grandfather.
C. An animal rescuer. D. The lost-pet Facebook group.
C
Stuffed animals have often been seen as one of the strange conventions of childhood — an childish love we should eventually let go of, along with imaginary friends and Capri-Suns. If that love lasts past adolescence, it can be seen as embarrassing.
Yet that isn’t really such an unusual thing to do: Surveys have found that four in ten American adults sleep with stuffed animals. And it seems that over the past few years especially, plushies (绒毛公仔) and toys have become more popular with adults. This isn’t necessarily a matter of childhood keepsakes tagging along into adulthood for sentimental reasons — adults are buying plushies for themselves, simply because they like them. The “kidult” market, which is defined as anyone over age 12, is said to account for about $9 billion in toy sales every year. Gen Z is leading the way in embracing stuffed animals. “It went from being an embarrassment… to today, when Gen Z and Millennials proudly play,” the toy-industry consultant Richard Gottlieb told NPR.
Of course, plenty of people still find it odd or childish for adults to collect stuffed animals. When the TikTok influencer Charli D’Amelio posted a photo of herself lounging with a small army of colorful Squishmallows, some commenters were quick to deride her collection. D’Amelio responded with frustration: “Everyone expects me to be this adult all the time,” she wrote (she was l6 at the time), “I’m still growing up.”
I, for one, am not immune to the adult stuffed-animal revival. As a child, I wasn’t super interested in plushies; I saw them as useless, candyless pi atas (采罐). But in my early 20s, many of my friends started buying and gifting stuffed animals. One friend consulted me on whether the name Belly or Lulu would better suit a stuffed dragon. On my 21st birthday, someone gave me my own stuffed Jellycat. I placed it on my bed with no shame, knowing that many of my peers were doing the same.
28. Why is one’s love for stuffed animals considered awkward
A. Because it is unusual. B. Because it is immature.
C. Because it is imaginary. D. Because it is conventional.
29. Why do people buy plushies
A. Because of their reasonable prices.
B. Because of their personal preference.
C. Because of their sentimental feelings.
D. Because of the popularity of plushies.
30. Which phrase can best explain the underlined word “deride” in paragraph 3
A. Make fun of. B. Lose control of.
C. Speak highly of. D. Take advantage of.
31. What’s the author’s present attitude towards stuffed animals
A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Approving. D. Dismissive.
D
We are often told that we are at the heart of a technological revolution, in which business and the world of work continue to be transformed and improved by computers, the Internet, the increased speed of communication, data processing, robotics, and now — artificial intelligence.
There is only one small problem with all this — none of it seems to show up in the economic data. If all this technology really is making us all work faster and better, there is precious little evidence. Between 1974 and 2008 the UK’s productivity — the amount of output you get per worker — grew at an annual rate of 2.3%. But between 2008 and 2020 the rate of productivity growth collapsed to around 0.5% per year. And in the first three months of this year, the UK’s productivity was actually down 0.6% on a year earlier. It is a similar picture in most other Western nations.
There are said to be two main explanations for why technology is not boosting productivity.
The first is that we are just not measuring the impact of technology properly. Dame Diane Coyle, a recognized expert on how we measure productivity, says, “There is nothing that doesn’t involve digital technology now, but it is difficult to see what is going on because none of this is visible in the statistics. We just don’t collect the data in ways that would help us understand what is happening.”
The other argument is that economic revolutions tend to be rather slow-burning affairs. Nick Crafts, a former professor at the University of Sussex Business School, points out that the huge changes in economic performance we tend to think of as having happened almost overnight actually took decades, and the same may well be happening now.
Technology is seemingly not the problem, and in some respects it is not the solution either. High productivity growth will come only to those who learn how to use it best.
32. What do the comparisons in paragraph 2 indicate
A. Technology didn’t promote productivity.
B. The UK’s productivity hasn’t grown for years.
C. Technology caused the decline in the influence of Western nations.
D. The UK’s productivity growth trend is an exception in Western countries.
33. Why is it difficult to see the impact of technology on the economy
A. There aren’t enough recognized experts.
B. Technology is used in an improper way.
C. There is no proper measurement equipment.
D. The collected data doesn’t reflect the technology.
34. What is the common understanding of past economic changes according to Crafts
A. They appeared by making use of technology.
B. They came decades after technological changes.
C. They occurred unexpectedly in a very short time.
D. They happened in a way different from those nowadays.
35. What is the author’s opinion on technology
A. It remains invisible to the statistics.
B. It is developing more slowly than we expected.
C. It is the solution to our daily problems.
D. It contributes to high productivity if fully used.

GOAL!!! Luis jumped up and down, celebrating. Nicholas looked at him with a broad smile. At that moment, the bell rang. It was time to head back to the classroom for their next class.
Just then, Devon walked up, his face red with anger. He yelled（吼叫） at Luis. It seemed unbelievable that Luis didn't pass to him when he was way closer to the goal than Nicholas. Luis rolled his eyes and ignored him. That's what he did with Devon most of the time—just ignored him.
After school, Nicholas and Luis took the same bus home. Nicholas complained about the way that Devon talked after soccer. He's always yelling at people. All that yelling made soccer less fun. So Nicholas wanted to move to the other part of the soccer field and tell Devon that he couldn't play with them anymore.
"What But isn't that... isn't that leaving him out " Luis asked.
Nicholas put his head down and started playing with his hands. "Well, I already talked to all the other guys," Nicholas said. He looked up. His eyes were set in determination. But telling Devon that he couldn't play with them anymore That seemed extreme for Luis.
By the time he got home, Luis still didn't have an answer. His older brother, Omar, welcomed him with a wide smile. Omar was the most cheerful person he had ever met. After carefully thinking of what Luis had mentioned, Omar suggested Luis talk to Devon—How can you expect someone to know he's crossing a line with how he talks to you if you don't tell him
"Shouldn't it be obvious that it isn't fun if you yell at people " Luis asked.
"Maybe it's obvious to you. But not to him. Just like it's obvious to me that you should start setting the table for dinner. But apparently not to you," Omar replied.
Luis thought about what Omar said. It was the only thing he could think of that didn't involve shutting Devon out or letting him keep. yelling at people.

66.One poss ble vers on:
Poetry, the Invisible Painting
To me, poetry is like an invisible painting; it uses words to create vivid images and emotions in the reader's mind. Unlike a painting on paper, poems come alive with the reader's imagination. I love poetry for its ability to describe an image or certain feelings in just a few lines, leaving a lasting impact. It's through poetry that I often find comfort and inspiration. One of my favorite forms is the cinquain, which consists of limited words but can convey a clear picture.
67.One possible version:
So, the next day before school started, Luis decided to talk to Devon. "Listen, Devon," he started. "We like having you play soccer with us. But none of the other guys like being yelled at." Devon looked really surprised to hear this, a sign that showed he hadn't realized his bad impact on others. But, to his credit, he promised to mind his behavior and be considerate of others. It was beyond Luis s expectation that the conversation went so well. He couldn't wait to share this with Nicholas during the class break.
"Just give him another chance, okay " said Luis to Nicholas. Nicholas agreed to take no action for the time being. From that day on, Luis noticed a dramatic change in Devon's behavior. Hard though, he managed to contain his emotion. The team noticed too, and they started to appreciate his enthusiasm and skills. As for Luis, he learned, instead of shutting people out or ignoring them, it's better to communicate and express how you feel, which can lead to positive changes and stronger relationships.
