When Sharaine and Wilson moved their family to Rhode Island they already had a full schedule. Just moving into a new community and restoring a new house meant little time for anything else. And then Paul showed up.
Paul, at the age of 82, had recently lost his wife but carried on with a generous spirit. He crossed the street, ladder in hand, to introduce himself to his new neighbors and offer his services in their home improvement endeavors.
Sharaine remembers, “Our biggest fear moving into a new neighborhood was what if the new neighbors don’t like us We have a lot of kids; they make a lot of noise...” But those fears were quickly put to rest. Paul likes children very much and quickly becomes a regular at home. Paul makes sure the kids cross the street safely after school, is the judge of tricycle races, sits on the porch helping with homework and pulls out his artificial teeth as a reminder to the little ones to brush their teeth.
The presence of elders can greatly enhance a child’s ability to cope with life’s challenges. Grandparents like Paul provide stability, affection, encouragement, and a sense of duty to the young ones under their wing. Despite living alone, Paul never feels isolated; he is far too preoccupied playing the role of a loving grandpa.
“We are incredibly lucky to have met such a wonderful neighbor. The kids rush towards him as if he were their own grandpa,” says Sharaine, and indeed, Paul’s calendar stays full. Celebrating birthdays, working on home projects, attending neighborhood barbecues, and engaging in other family activities keep him busy. Simple pleasures like reading, pulling weeds, strolling (散步) slowly as clouds drift across the sky, occasionally blocking the sun — these are the essence of life. And it takes a grandpa like Paul to slow down time, allowing one to truly appreciate the beauty of these moments.
4. What initially concerned Sharaine and Wilson about moving to Rhode Island
A. Not finding a proper house. B. How to repair a new house.
C. Not making time for their family. D. Whether to be accepted by new neighbors.
5. What role does Paul play in the children’s lives
A. He teaches them to brush their teeth. B. He helps them with their housework.
C. He involves in their daily activities. D. He educates them when they misbehave.
6. Which of the following can best describe Paul
A. Quiet and lonely. B. Indifferent and odd.
C. Optimistic and spirited. D. Energetic and adventurous.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Paul’s role in the community. B. The challenges of Paul’s neighbors.
C. The improvement in home services. D. The relationship between Paul and kids.
C
Aging is an unstoppable aspect of life. However, according to a study, maintaining a positive attitude towards aging can significantly impact the cognitive (认知的) function of older individuals with mild cognitive impairment (障碍) (MCI). The study revealed that individuals who have an optimistic view of aging and who recover from MCI have a two-year advantage in transitioning back to normal cognition. On the other hand, people who hold negative views about aging have a greater probability of developing MCI.
The study involved a sample of 1,716 participants with an average age of 77.8 years old. The researchers measured the participants’ attitudes towards aging through an age-belief questionnaire (问卷), which divided them into groups with either a positive or negative outlook towards aging. The researchers administered MCI exams seven times over 12 years of follow-up, and the data showed that those with positive aging beliefs had a 30.2% greater likelihood of recovering cognition than the negative age-belief group. Furthermore, individuals with a positive attitude towards aging recovered from MCI an average of two years faster than those with negative aging beliefs.
Dr. Andrew E. Budson, MD, chief of Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology at the Boston Healthcare System, notes that people with a positive attitude towards aging are more likely to engage in social activities, exercise regularly, and have a healthy diet, which can protect against cognitive decline.
However, it is worth noting that the study has some limitations. One limitation is that the negative aging-belief group included more people with depression than the group with a positive outlook towards aging. Depression is related to inflammation (炎症) throughout the body, which can drive cognitive decline. It is also possible that individuals with a negative attitude towards aging had Alzheimer’ s disease and were facing more difficulties in their daily lives, which may have influenced their outlook. Thus, having more people with depression and Alzheimer’ s. disease in the negative aging-belief group could have pushed the results away from the truth, making it appear that a positive outlook on aging has a greater effect than it actually does.
8. How does the author present the findings in paragraph 1
A. By raising a question. B. By making a contrast.
C. By giving an example. D. By listing some figures.
9. What does paragraph 2 tell us
A. Positive aging beliefs improve MCI. B. Age is essential to cognitive recovery.
C. Questionnaires affect cognitive tests. D. MCI exams can predict aging attitudes.
10. What does the author think of the study
A. It’s accurate. B. It’s comprehensive.
C. It’s interesting. D. It’s imperfect.
11. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A travel brochure. B. A historical novel.
C. A research journal. D. A sports newspaper.
D
What do you do when nobody is around to take your picture You take a selfie (自拍照). Photographic self-portraits have existed for as long as cameras have been in human hands. But what about selfies in space On social media last year, NASA astronaut Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin, who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July, 1969, laid claim to a spaceflight first: Taking the first selfie in space during the Gemini Ж п mission in 1966.
Astronauts have been carrying cameras aboard space vehicles since the 1960s, and they’ve taken plenty of pictures of themselves along the way. In 1966, Aldrin used a Hasselblad camera that was designed specifically for space, with an extra-large trigger to accommodate the astronaut’s thick gloves. Hasselblad also painted the first camera used in space matte black (哑光黑) to minimize reflections in the spacecraft window. But cameras used in space need to survive extreme conditions, like temperature swings from — 149 °F to 248 °F, so Hasselblad painted later models’ silver to help the camera adjust to these temperature changes.
Early astronauts were constrained by strict weight when entering spacecraft, and they had to work without a selfie stick. To capture his self-portrait, the astronaut Aldrin once attached the camera to the side of the spacecraft to stabilize it and get his face in the frame.
Today, astronauts also have access to the Internet and social platforms in space and can post true space selfies using digital cameras covered with thermal blankets. The first astronaut selfie that went viral on the Internet was one by Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide in 2012.
Similarly, space robots are also participating in selfie culture, capturing remote images of themselves in space or on other planets and beaming them back to Earth. For instance, in January, the Mars rover Curiosity “shared” a selfie made from a mosaic of images captured at the rover’s latest drill site on the red planet.
12. What can we know about Aldrin
A. He took the first selfie in space.
B. He was the first man to walk in space.
C. He posted a picture of himself on Mars.
D. He shared a selfie when in the Gemini Ⅻ mission.
13. Why was the first camera used in space painted matte black
A. To protect it from space radiation. B. To match the color of the spacecraft.
C. To reduce reflections from the spacecraft. D. To make it easier to hold for astronauts.
14. Which best explains the underlined word “constrained” in paragraph 3
A. Enabled. B. Influenced. C. Inspired. D. Restricted.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A. Japanese astronauts posted selfies from space.
B. The origin and development of selfies in space.
C. Increasingly popular selfies among astronauts.
D. Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin took the first space selfie.

“I must have left my wallet home. I’m so sorry. I’ll have to come back for these things later,” Mary said to the cashier, who started picking up the items and putting them back. Meanwhile, Mary prepared to walk away when the boy behind her in line spoke up.
“Wait, ma’ am. You don’ t have many things anyway. I’ll pay for them,” the boy said. He couldn’t be older than 12, and Mary noticed that he didn’t look particularly well-off so she wanted to refuse his offer. “I insist, ma’ am. Sometimes, we have to do good things, right ” the boy said and paid for everything that Mary had picked out.
After they got their groceries ready, Mary and the boy went outside. “Hey, I’m Mary. What’s your name ” she said conversationally. “I’m Mark,” the boy said. “Thank you so much for what you did, Mark. It saved me a trip to the store. Listen, how about giving me your phone number so I can pay you back as soon as I get my wallet,” Mary suggested, and the kid wrote down his number on the receipt. “Here, but don’t worry about it. There’s no rush. I live nearby anyway,” Mark said. “Although I also believe in paying kindness forward like you, we have to pay off our debts,” Mary added, and they said goodbye.
Mary told her daughter Anastacia about this incident and always thought of the boy who paid for her things, worrying that he might need the money urgently. So the next day, after calling the boy and learning his address, they went to his home. Returning the money, they began to chat. By talking more, Mary learned that Mark’s grandma needed a huge surgery for $23,000. The hospital was keeping her in observation while Mark raised the money. And he just started a GoFundMe but it was not that popular. “You shouldn’t have to do that on your own,” Mary said, concerned. “We don’t have anyone else. It’s only us,” Mark shrugged.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

Mary and Anastacia looked at each other and came to a wordless decision.

【答案】
AI in Education
AI is increasingly being integrated into education, transforming how teachers teach and students learn.
It allows for personalized learning experiences by analyzing individual student performance and tailoring content to their needs. AI tools can automate administrative tasks, giving teachers more time to focus on instruction. However, there are concerns about data privacy and the potential for reduced human interaction.
Personally, I believe that while AI can enhance educational outcomes, it should complement, not replace, traditional teaching methods to maintain the human aspect of education.

【答案】
Mary and Anastacia looked at each other and came to a wordless decision. They knew they had to help Mark and his grandma. Anastacia, being tech-savvy, immediately took to social media, sharing Mark’s GoFundMe link with her friends and encouraging them to donate. Mary, on the other hand, reached out to her colleagues and community members, spreading the word about Mark’s situation and asking for their support.
The GoFundMe project reached far beyond their goal. In just a few days, they had raised not only the $23,000 needed for the surgery but also an additional amount to cover any unexpected expenses. Mark was overwhelmed with gratitude when Mary and Anastacia told him the news. “I didn’t expect this much support. Thank you so much!” he said, tears welling up in his eyes. The surgery was successful, and Mark’s grandma recovered well. From that day on, Mary and Anastacia became a part of Mark’s family, sharing joys and sorrows, and celebrating life’s milestones together. They all believed that kindness and generosity could create miracles, and they were living proof of that.
