【答案】Paragraph 1:
He took his empty pot to the classroom. Ashamed and anxious, James held his empty pot tightly, his eyes falling on others’ pots with various plants. He took a deep breath, gathered his courage and stepped up to the teacher with great caution, murmuring “sorry” as tears fell from his eyes. A failure holding a pot with nothing inside, James stood there as the other kids laughed at him. The class was eagerly expecting the announcement of the winner when the teacher cleared her throat and declared, “The Excellent Kid is James ”
Paragraph 2:
All the other kids looked at the teacher in surprise. Whispers spread throughout the classroom; the whole class was enveloped in confusion. At that moment, the teacher patted James on the head gently and explained, “Those seeds are all boiled, and they are a test of honesty.” Upon hearing this, most of the kids lowered their heads with shame. It was then that the gloomy mood faded away from James’ heart, and a sweet smile appeared on his face, for James enjoyed being honest.

I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the salesgirl greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing.
The woman looked down, shook her head and said: “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to get through the holidays.”
Then she gave the salesgirl food stamps.
My heart ached. I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her food, or ask for her husband’s resume (简历)
As I walked into the parking lot, I found the woman returning her shopping cart. I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better.
My heart was beating fast as I came near to the woman.
“Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit. “I couldn’t help overhearing what you said to the salesgirl. It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time right now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.”
I handed her the small card from my purse.
When the woman read the card’s only two words, she began to cry. And through her tears, she said: “You have no idea how much this means to me.”
I was a little startled by her reply. Having never done anything like this before I didn’t know what kind of reaction I might receive. All I could think to say was: “Would it be OK to give you a hug ”
After we embraced, I walked back to my car-and began to cry too.
The words on the card
“You Matter.”
A few weeks earlier, a friend of mine gave me a similar card as encouragement for a project I was working on. When I read the card, I felt a warm glow spread inside of me. Deeply touched, I ordered my own box of You Matter cards and started sharing them.

How much do you love animals Maybe not as much as photographer Joel Sartore. He is traveling the world to take pictures of as many animals as he can find, which allows people to focus on the beauty and uniqueness of each animal.
Sartore is working to take photos of all 20,000 different types of animals living in the world’s zoos, aquariums (水族馆) and wildlife shelters. And he has already taken nearly 15,000! He hopes his photos will remind people of the situation these planet’s most endangered creatures are in, and that he can record them before they’re gone. “My job is to tell their stories and hope that the world cares in time,” he told The Weather Channel in 2023.
Sartore calls his project the Photo Ark, like the story of Noah’s Ark, in which a large boat is built to save every type of animal in the world from a flood. He founded the Photo Ark in 2016 in his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska.
He doesn’t just take his animal photos in the usual zoo environment, however. He puts each animal on a black or white background with studio lights. This helps him photograph their true colors, and lets people see a little mouse as clearly as a big elephant and look each animal right in the eye. “When people connect to animals through eye contact, we have got a real chance at changing human behavior,” Sartore says.
The project has been well received. Sartore has more than 1.6 million followers online and a best-selling series of Photo Ark books. He asks people to buy his books and photos, give money to the Photo Ark, and support zoos, aquariums and wildlife shelters near where they live.
8. What is the purpose of Sartore’s project
A. To help sell his photos. B. To help save animals in danger.
C. To meet his own interest in animals. D. To offer another way to learn about animals.
9. What can be known about Sartore’s photos of the animals in Paragraph 4
A. They are black and white. B. They are about animals in danger.
C. They are taken in a natural condition. D. They are taken in a designed environment.
10. What is people’s attitude towards Sartore’s project
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
11. What would be the best title for the passage
A. The Profile of a Traveling Photographer.
B. The Art of Studio Photography for Animals.
C. Saving Endangered Species: One Photo at a Time.
D. The History of Noah’s Ark and Animal Protection.
D
Have you ever played a computer game for a long time and then kept seeing the game’s images afterward This happened to me with the classic shape-falling game Tetris (俄罗斯方块), created in 1985 by Alexey Pajitnov.
Feeling stressed one evening, I turned on my switch to find a game to play and relax with. That’s when I discovered Tetris. Before I knew it, I was extremely interested. Even when I stopped, my brain was still playing, with the blocks falling in my mind. I started looking at objects in the real world and thinking about how they could be moved and stacked (堆叠) together. I even dreamed about Tetris. I was experiencing the common “Tetris effect”.
Introduced by journalist Jeffrey Goldsmith in his 1994 Wired magazine article called This Is Your Brain on Tetris, the effect has been observed by psychologists (心理学家) and researchers. The lasting images of Tetris are due to the “Zeigarnik effect”, in which people have better memories of uncompleted tasks than those of completed ones. Tetris, being a game that technically never ends, keeps you thinking of the game’s unfinished task, reported Tech Times. And the pleasant music stays with you, too.
There are also positives to the Tetris Effect. In his 1991 study, psychologist Richard Haier at the University of California found that continuously playing Tetris resulted in the thickness of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) increasing, which improves brain function (功能), reported psychology website Practical Pie.
Tetris has also been researched for use as a treatment for mental suffering. The Yale Scientific Magazine reported that researchers at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford UK, found that playing Tetris appeared to reduce unpleasant memories in the short term for people affected by motor vehicle accidents.
So, the next time you want to play a computer game, why not try the classic Tetris and see if it improves your brain function But be warned, you’ll likely be seeing falling blocks everywhere.
12. What happened to the author after playing the game Tetris
A. He was relaxed completely. B. He was addicted to it ever since.
C. He saw some falling blocks everywhere. D. He kept thinking about it even after it was over.
13. What can be learned about the “Tetris Effect” from the text
A. It was introduced by a researcher. B. It was caused by the game’s music.
C. It is related to the way our memory works. D. It is common among computer game players.
14. What benefit can people get from continuously playing Tetris, according to Haier
A. Better brain function. B. Improving happiness.
C. Reducing short memory. D. Comfort from bad experiences.
15. What do you think of the author in the last paragraph
A. Serious. B. Humorous. C. Worried. D. Surprised.

At the beginning of the new term, a teacher at Ringrose Kindergarten decided to do something different to choose “the Excellent Kid” of this term. One day the teacher brought a bag of boiled seeds, and then called the kids together, and said, “I am going to give each one of you a seed today, a very special seed. You are to plant the seed, water it and come back here at the end of this term with what you have grown from the seed you bring to me, and the one I choose will be “the Excellent Kid”.
Like the others, a boy named James received a seed. He went home and told his mother the story excitedly. She helped him get a pot and soil, and he planted the seed. Evert day he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other kids began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.
James kept checking his seed, but nothing grew. Four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing. By now, others were all talking about their plants, but James didn’t have a plant and he felt like a failure.
Two months went by, there was still nothing in James’ pot. He just knew he had ruined his seed. Everyone else had tall plants, but he had nothing. James didn’t say anything. However, he just kept watering the fertilizing (给……施肥) the soil, expecting the seed to grow.
A term finally went by. All the kids brought their plants to the teacher for inspection. James told his mother he wasn’t going to take an empty pot. But she encouraged him to go, and to be honest about what happened. James felt restless because it would be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his mother was right.
Paragraph 1:
He took his empty pot to the classroom.
Paragraph 2:
All the other kids looked at the teacher in surprise.
