23-year-old Rachna Kumari is a soft-spoken young woman selling her handmade wheat stalk paintings, a traditional cultural art form using natural wheat straw. Every morning, even before her mother awakens, she finishes cooking and cleaning before cycling 5km to run her shop alone. Over the past years, she has sold about 200 of her paintings.
However, back in 2019, Rachna almost gave up on life after having to leave school due to family’s financial problems. She became depressed, thinking she would have to spend the rest of her days doing household chores.
Around this time, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) came into the picture with Project Lehar, starting to provide vocational training, and courses on entreprencurship (创业) and life skills for young women. Project Lehar, run by AKF in partnership with The King’s Trust International, an organisation founded to tackle the crisis of youth unemployment, enables girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds to rediscover and realise their potential. This was a good opportunity for Rachna not just to continue her studies but also to convince her parents to drop her marriage plans.
After she was admitted into college through Project Lehar, she was also given some suggestions on entrepreneurial and career prospects. One such session regarding wheat stalk painting made her fall in love with this traditional art form and her creativity was brought out.
Now she is economically independent by selling wheat stalk paintings. However, Rachna is not resting on her achievements. Her shop also doubles up as a training centre where other girls from disadvantaged backgrounds like her who want to stand on their own feet get a second chance to change their lives like she did.
While teaching these enthusiastic young girls is a joyful experience, what gives Rachna more pride is being chosen as a wheat stalk painting trainer by the foundation. From being a trainee under this project to now becoming its qualified trainer, Rachna’s life has come full circle.
4. What left Rachna in low spirits initially
A. Losing her favourite job. B. Doing household chores.
C. Dropping out of school. D. Running the shop by herself.
5. How did Rachna benefit from Project Lehar
A. She got a degree from it. B. She had a new attitude towards marriage.
C. She managed to proceed with her studies. D. She was sponsored to start her own business.
6. What brings Rachna the greatest sense of achievement
A. Expanding her business scale. B. Being selected as a trainer.
C. Financing disadvantaged families. D. Teaching ambitious girls.
7. Which of the following best describes Rachna
A. Motivated and creative. B. Wealthy and independent.
C. Sociable and critical. D. Talented and modest.
C
The benefits of free time, researchers say, depend upon our beliefs about it. A new study reveals that contentment relies, at least in part, on believing that leisure activities are anything but a waste of time.
According to the study, viewing leisure as wasteful prevents us from enjoying our leisure pursuits — especially pure pleasure activities such as hanging out with friends, watching TV and just relaxing. More goal-driven leisure activities, like exercise and meditation (冥想) tend to make people feel productive so they are still enjoyed when people see value in these leisure activities.
In one part of the study, the researchers asked 302 people to recall what they did for Halloween, how much they enjoyed the holiday and their attitudes towards leisure in general. Those who believed leisure was wasteful enjoyed their Halloween less, especially when they engaged in activities like going to a party compared to other activities that might be fun but might also fulfil responsibilities, like trick-or-treating with their kids.
In another part of the study, participants read news articles meant to convince the reader that leisure was wasteful and unproductive or leisure was important and productive. Next, they watched the “Best Funny Cat Videos 2019” and were asked how much they enjoyed it. Those who believed that leisure was wasteful or unproductive didn’t enjoy watching the videos as much as those who thought leisure time was productive and important.
The results show that those who do not enjoy pleasure-driven activities are more depressed, anxious and stressed. The findings suggest happiness may be driven not only by whether people engage in leisure, but whether they find value in what they are doing.
“Attitudes are no easy to change. Therefore, it may be impossible to shift beliefs about leisure overnight,” said the lead author Gabriela Tonietto. “For the people who refer to leisure as wasteful, it helps to focus on the productive ways that individual leisure activities can serve their long-term goals.”
8. Why did some participants enjoy their Halloween less
A They had a strong passion for parties. B. They considered trick-or-treating boring.
C. They preferred hanging out with friends. D. They attached great value to responsibilities.
9. What is the purpose of asking the participants to read the news articles
A. To shape their attitudes to leisure. B. To assess their reading skills.
C. To introduce them to cat videos. D. To examine their productivity.
10. What is Tonietto’s suggestion on leisure
A. Seeking its potential benefits. B. Diversifying the forms of leisure.
C. Reducing engagement in leisure. D. Changing our attitudes to leisure quickly.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Pursuing Leisure Tops the List.
B. Enjoying Leisure Boosts Productivity.
C Designing Leisure Activities Brings Contentment.
D. Considering Leisure Wasteful Reduces Happiness.
D
Be honest: how many things you bought because of product promotion on TikTok did you actually need In response, social media users are pushing back against unnecessary spending. This is where “de-influencing” comes in, a new TikTok trend that challenges the hype (炒作) around popular products and overconsumption. It aims to change the way we think about shopping and encourage people to pause and consider whether they really need something, rather than just buying it because it is trendy or popular.
Recently, there have been many TikTok influencers that have frustrated people. They are promoting products that seem misleading, especially during tough times when money is tight. For example, US influencer Mikayla Nogucira posted a TikTok using L’Oréal’s Telescopic Lash Lift Mascara but was blamed for wearing false eyelashes in her review as part of a paid partnership. Makeup artist Rose Gallagher notes, “People are feeling tired of social media. Originally, user content was popular because it shared honest thoughts on personal purchases. Now, it’s hard to tell which reviews are genuine and which are just for profit.” Thus, what TikTok says is no longer the standard of people’s purchase choices. De-influencing emerged accordingly.
While de-influencing seems new, it’s still a form of influence and can be a smart move for afluencers and brands. Millie Kendall, from the British Beauty Council, points out, “De-influencing is a bit tricky. It’s telling people what to avoid but can still suggest other products.” With rising living costs, people are less likely to buy expensive items, making cheaper products more appealing. Being honest about the products and even “de-influencing” them can pay off, too. Criticising big brands might hurt short-term deals for influencers but could build their reputation for trustworthiness over time. Also, debating whether a product works can drive sales, as people want to try it themselves.
So, is de-influencing here to stay It will have its moment, yet trends come and go quickly. Once the next big product goes viral, de-influencing will be yesterday’s news. Whether de-influencing is a lasting movement or a temporary reaction, its message could make consumers become more mindful of their purchases and not splurge on big-ticket items.
12. What is de-influencing meant to do
A. To increase social media usage.
B. To remind us to think twice before a purchase.
C. To promote expensive brands on social media.
D. To encourage us to buy more trendy products.
13. What led to de-influencing according to Paragraph 2
A. TikTok influencers wore false eyelashes.
B. TikTok influencers spread genuine thoughts.
C. TikTok influencers promoted unaffordable items.
D. TikTok influencers advertised untrustworthy goods.
14. What can be inferred about de-influencing from Paragraph 3
A. It may lessen people’s shopping desire.
B. It can enable influencers to make profits.
C. It has no impact on consumption choices.
D. It will ruin influencers’ reputation for honesty.
15. What do the underlined words “splurge on” mean in the last paragraph
A Select randomly. B. Review negatively.
C. Buy uncontrollably. D. Sell dishonestly.

47. 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。
In a remote town distant from urban life, Peter lived with his mother. His pastime involved exploring the breathtaking forest nearby. At the heart of it lay a crystal-clear pond, where lively fish danced beneath the surface. The surroundings were alive with charming wildlife. Deer and rabbits played about, while melodious birdsong filled the air.
Enchanted by the beauty and liveliness of nature, Peter resolved to become a great artist to share these fascinating scenes with the world. He attended the local primary school, but life had been challenging for Peter and his mother since his father passed away. Aware that his mother worked hard to make ends meet, Peter was hesitant to cause her any worry.
While his mother recognised the importance of education, she opposed Peter’s dream of becoming an artist. She frequently said, “Being an artist can’t help a person in meeting his daily expenses.” However, Peter’s passion for art grew stronger with each passing day.
Due to their financial conditions, even buying new paints was a luxury. Peter relied on a worn drawing board and limited paints for his daily practice. Despite the lack of appropriate tools, he never abandoned his dream. He spent much time in the forest, secretly sharpening his skills. His drawings became increasingly beautiful through his persistent efforts and with his natural talent for art.
One day, Peter learned about a competition in town with a deadline just two days away. This was a perfect opportunity to achieve his dream, but he faced a dilemma. The competition required special paints and brushes which he didn’t possess. Knowing his mother’s prejudice against art, Peter didn’t dare to ask her for money.
As night fell, Peter’s mother arrived home from work and presented him with several paper notes, explaining, “This is for your school lunches next month.” To Peter’s delight, the sum was enough to cover what he needed. His face immediately lit up with excitement.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Early the next day, Peter slid away from home with the money.

【答案】Dear Philip,
I am terribly sorry to hear that you failed to be selected as the docent for the Chongqing Museum. It’s common for us to experience failure and feel down. Yet, setbacks enable us to make more progress and go further.
To turn this experience into a positive one, I recommend seeking feedback from the interviewers if possible, which could provide you with valuable insights into your weaknesses and future applications. Also, it is a wise choice to look for internships or volunteer opportunities at other cultural institutions. This not only enhances your experience but also allows you to engage with professionals in the field, possibly opening up new opportunities.
I have every confidence that your efforts and enthusiasm will eventually lead you to a decent position. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any help.

【答案】Early the next day, Peter slid away from home with the money. Worried and guilty, peter rushed directly to a shop, and his mind was tortured with bad consequences. He knew that spending all the money would affect both his daily life and the relationship with his mother. But the anticipation to achieve his dream prevailed. He carefully selected the paints and brushes and hurried home to start creating his work for the competition. Drawing inspiration from the enchanting forest that had captivated him for so long, he finally completed his masterpiece which brought to life those dancing fish, playful deer and melodious birds. With his eyes glowing with pride, he submitted his work.
A couple of days later, Peter received an unexpected e-mail. It was sent by the competition organizer, informing him of his winning the first prize. Hardly had Peter seen the result when he jumped with joy. Tears swirling in his eyes, he shared the news with his mother and explained everything sincerely. Knowing all this, his mother threw her arms around him, a mixture of guilt and relief flooding over her. “Dear son, I am sorry. I almost ruined your dream,” she choked. From that day on, with his mom’s full support, Peter devoted himself entirely to his artistic aspirations and made continuous achievements. This experience not only helped Peter foster a stronger relationship with his mother, but also taught him the importance of persistence in the pursuit of dreams.
