Which fruit personality are you
In the workplace, we have to be able to deal with people who aren’t like us. No one will change for you, so you just have to respect their differences. When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them.
Types Introduction & Management
Apple:Hard Core Apple types are direct and don’t suffer fools. They are fast, logical thinkers who love to win and hate to lose control. They’ll get a result at any cost, but see conflict as sport. 1. Always stand up to them.
2. Get to the point.
3. Don’t take it personally.
4. Watch and learn from them.
Mango:Juicy and Messy Mango types love life and can’t afford to miss a minute. They love variety because they tend to be easily distracted and naturally rule breakers. 1. Talk big picture, avoid details.
2. Give them false deadlines.
3. Don’t micro-manage.
Lemon:Concentrated Lemon types love structure and order. They are worriers who like security and predictability. They excel at spotting gaps in a plan. But too many rules can also be frustrating. 1. Respect their need for space.
2. Don’t surprise them.
3. Listen with respect.
4. Show your pace.
Banana:Sweet and Gentle Banana types enjoy peace and shy away from conflicts. They are kind to react to others’ requests. However, when they are too accommodating, they can be seen as indecisive. 1. Don’t pressure them, motivate.
2. Create a positive environment.
3. Encourage regular feedback.
4. Be nice to them.

B（24-25高三上·山西大同·阶段练习）
For a long time, I kept a selection of books on a shelf next to my bed that I called my “heart books”. To qualify for a place on the shelf, a book had to be not only one I loved, but one that mattered. There was one book that never made it onto that shelf, though I read it in high school: Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg.
I can still remember the day I bought it. It was summer and I must have been 14 or 15. Desperate to get out of my house, I rode my bike into town and walked into the bookstore. I was going through the shelf of books on writing and it caught my eye. I picked it up, read a few pages, and bought it. Then I took it with me to a park, read the first few chapters, and opened my notebook to write.
It’s a fairly straightforward writing book. Goldberg’s method is simple: you choose a topic, set a timer, and write for 10, 15, or 20 minutes without picking up your pen. Free writing, timed writing, writing topics: anyone who has taken a creative writing class may have encountered these things. There was nothing particularly new or unusual about the book so I can’t say why it attracted me so much. But it changed everything. I went from being someone who enjoyed writing to being a writer.
During my teen years and early twenties, following Goldberg’s method was at the core of my identity. No matter where I was or what I was doing, I filled notebooks. When I eventually
started writing fiction, I did the same thing. The “I” in my notebooks became someone else, but I held to the same practice.
This writing practice led me to a writing group in Boston. It led me to my current career. It led me, in so many ways, to myself. Becoming a writer allowed me to become so many other things: an activist, a business owner, a farmer, a baker... Writing is where I found my confidence. It was where I became curious about the world. From that, everything else has followed.
24．What can we learn about Writing Down the Bones from the first two paragraphs
A．It was among the list of “heart books”.
B．It was recommended by her teacher.
C．The author encountered it in a bookstore.
D．The author treasured it on her book shelf.
25．What does the author think of Goldberg’s method
A．Unique and innovative. B．Ordinary and normal.
C．Direct and typical. D．Attractive and inspiring.
26．What did the author do while writing
A．She strictly followed Goldberg’s writing steps.
B．She wrote on her notebook whenever possible.
C．She kept practicing through different methods.
D．She imagined many characters in her fictions.
27．Which is the suitable title for the text
A．Natalie Goldberg and Her Book.
B．The Start of My Writing Career.
C．Confidence Found Through Writing.
D．Chain Reaction Caused by A Book.
C（2024·江苏盐城·模拟预测）
The male western tanager (唐纳雀) looks like a little flame, while females are less showy, a dusty yellow. In the spring, they prepare to move thousands of miles to the Mountain West of Central America, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards.
To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁移动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival. “In discussing climate change, we often focus on warming,” says Scott Loss, a co-author of the study. “But the length and timing of seasons — like when winter ends and spring begins — are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.”
Loss and his colleagues used satellite imagery from 2002 to 2021 to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species, then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring is indeed beginning earlier along birds’ migration routes. “By contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America,” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的).”
“Part of it is knowing which species are vulnerable to various threats,” Loss says. “This adds to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species.” And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.”
28．What may pose a direct threat to western tanagers’ survival
A．Global warming. B．The duration of changing seasons.
C．Loss of habitats due to human activities. D．Decreased access to foods during migration.
29．What is unique about the new study on birds like western tanagers
A．It covers a wider geographic range. B．It reveals the decline in bird populations.
C．It centers on the adaptation of bird species. D．It ensures the existence of a timing mismatch.
30．What does Loss suggest we do to safeguard migratory birds
A．Lessen the effects of climate change. B．Preserve ecosystems for bird species.
C．Address emissions and habitat loss. D．Expand researches on threats to birds.
31．Where is the text most likely from
A．A scientific journal. B．A bird-watching guidebook.
C．A website about climate change. D．A magazine about wildlife conservation.
D（23-24高二下·广东深圳·期末）
Max Du emerged victorious at the Canada-Wide Science Fair with his innovative project: an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed to assist individuals experiencing cardiac arrests. His ingenuity was sparked during the Christmas recess of the preceding year. “I received a recreational drone as a gift from my parents, yet I was unable to operate it aloft due to the snowy conditions,” Max recounted. “Consequently, I experimented with it indoors, which led me to contemplate the potential for a drone to serve as an automated indoor apparatus that could render assistance to people in need.”
Approximately 35,000 Canadians succumb to cardiac arrests annually, with the majority of these incidents occurring beyond the confines of a hospital, resulting in a survival rate of less than 10 percent. Max was convinced that a drone could provide more expeditious assistance and expedite the delivery of vital medical treatments, but to validate this hypothesis, he was compelled to construct the device himself.
The process of refining his drone spanned a period of six months, during which Max’s parents had to tolerate the persistent buzzing and crashing of the machine within their domicile. With each innovative feature he devised, such as a telescopic appendage, the drone’s overall mass increased, leading to frequent disassembly. This necessitated the procurement of an entirely new set of components. Max persevered, experimenting with more lightweight construction materials until he achieved a more harmonious equilibrium in his design.
Through a methodical process of iterative refinement, the 14-year-old prodigy ultimately perfected his invention. His drone is now capable of manipulating a door handle, navigating through the air, and alighting gently on the ground. An innovative, extendable arm can be deployed to either administer an injection or deliver a life-saving pharmaceutical to a patient. Additionally, an integrated camera facilitates real-time communication with an emergency response team, enabling remote monitoring of the patient’s condition.
Max is intent on pursuing the acquisition of a patent to forge alliances within the healthcare
sector and bring his invention to fruition. He dedicated his summer to the study of artificial intelligence at Stanford University in California, where he was one of only 32 young scholars chosen globally. Subsequently, he will proceed to the University of Pennsylvania to enroll in a collegiate-level robotics course before resuming his high school studies in September.
32．Why did Max Du design a drone by himself
A．He had sympathy for those with heart attacks.
B．He had nothing to do in Christmas holidays.
C．He wanted use it to help his parents.
D．He tried to make it fly in the snow.
33．What can we learn from paragraphs 2 and 3
A．Most of the people with cardiac arrests in Canada can survive.
B．Max’s parents were unwilling to help during his drone design.
C．It’s very important to control the balance of the drone.
D．Max’s design of the extendable arm is very smooth.
34．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．The instructions for using the drone. B．The reason for applying for a patent.
C．The process of Max s success. D．The functions of the new drone.
35．Which of the following can best describe Max
A．Considerate and brave. B．Talented and creative.
C．Clever and honest. D．Helpful and loyal.

Hop on the Silent Walking Trend
Silent walking involves walking outdoors without distractions like music or conversations, focusing on the mind-body-nature connection. 36 That’s a slower, lower-impact way to relax and is great for fitness. Here’s everything you need to know about the trend.
Select a natural setting and fully engage your senses. For reaping the mental health benefits, it is recommended to find a quiet and peaceful natural location. 37 Meanwhile, consciously observing the sights, sounds, smells, and physical sensations during the walk can significantly impact cognitive and emotional well-being.
To stimulate the mind, consider exploring different routes than usual. Without your favourite podcast or playlist, you might slip into boredom on your walk. 38 And it might even be good for your brain. Scientists applaud the virtue s of boredom for brain health, believing that it boosts creativity and improves social connections. And if you do get bored, rest assured that it shows you’ve disconnected from external distractions. Go with it, and make sure you take a different route each time — it’ll keep you motivated.
Start off with five-minute silent walks and eventually build up to thirty minutes. If you’re usually a headphone wearer, it will feel super weird to walk without your go-to tunes, but give yourself a second to adjust. Chances are, once you’re a few minutes into your silent walk, you’ll feel the magic kick in. 39
Regular reflection and ongoing documentation are essential. After completing a silent walk, take time to reflect upon any emerging thoughts, feelings, or insights. 40 Journaling about the experience can also solidify connections between thoughts and ideas, providing a valuable tool for self-reflection and growth.
A．But being bored won’t hurt you.
B．Taking different paths can lead to exciting discoveries.
C．However, you’ll start noticing the urban landscape around you.
D．Adjusting the routine gradually can help ease into the experience.
E．They can deepen understanding and serve as a record of personal growth.
F．Unlike exercise-oriented walking, it isn’t about reaching certain speed or steps.
G．In such an environment, you can immerse yourself in the natural soundscape (音景).

I just had a feeling in my heart that Marie was inside. “Lisa recalls. She went straight round to the back of the house, thinking that the old woman might be in the kitchen, but she didn’t find anybody there. Puzzled, Lisa returned to the front of the house and knocked bard on the door. There was no answer.

Development of Transport in China
From the vehicle of horses to today’s convenient transport, Chinese transport has seen enormous development. Chinese transport has undergone remarkable transformations, giving the Chinese people access to different ways of travelling.
Firstly, shared bicycles have emerged as a symbol of urban mobility, offering an affordable and green alternative for short trips. Secondly, the introduction of high- speed trains has dramatically shortened travel times, making intercity travel faster and more comfortable. Lastly, the proliferation of new energy vehicles underscores China’s dedication to environmental sustainability, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. These developments illustrate China’s journey towards a modern and efficient transportation network that balances convenience with environmental responsibility.
In short, China’s transport system is embracing innovation and eco-friendliness.
67． “I must get in to see what’s happened,” Lisa said to herself. With a sense of urgency, Lisa worriedly checked around the house, trying the back door that Marie sometimes left unlocked. As it creaked open, she called out for Marie and followed a faint sound to find her unconscious at the foot of the stairs. Lisa dialed 911 immediately and stayed by Marie’s side, comforting her until help arrived. Her quick action potentially saved Marie’s life, and their bond grew stronger as Lisa continued to support her through recovery.
Lisa’s quick action not only saved a life but also started a friendship. As Marie recuperated in the hospital, Lisa visited regularly, providing companionship and support. Marie’s family, grateful for Lisa’s timely intervention, welcomed her warmly into their lives. This experience underscored the importance of attentiveness and care within a community, illustrating how small acts of concern can forge deep connections that endure beyond the moment of crisis.

Hello, everyone—this is your headmaster, Mr. Dodson, speaking. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the snowstorm has become worse since we arrived here at 8 a.m. The school staff and I apologize for not realizing how heavy this storm would be. It was reported that there would be 5 cm of snow. But indeed, we currently have double that amount, and it’s expected to become over 20 cm by three o’clock. So, what does that mean It will require classes to end now, at 11 o’clock. Lunch will still be served in the cafeteria; you may have it now. For senior students who have driven to school, you’re welcome to drive home, but please be careful. For everyone else, the school buses are coming at noon. You are advised to wait in the cafeteria until then. But please, for everyone in the school, call your parents to tell them what you’re doing. It’s quite a dangerous situation out there right now. And by this evening, we’ll have almost a meter of snow on the ground. Next, wait for an announcement from our school bus driver, Jamie Johnson. He will tell you more information about bus schedules and safety advice. Thanks, everyone—and please, stay safe out there.
