As I was about to head back to my room, my mom called out, “Emma, you' ve got mail.”Excited, I hurried downstairs and saw a small envelope waiting for me on the table. It was from my pen pal, Sarah, who lives in San Francisco. We met online through a group for book lovers, and after hearing others talk about how fun it was to have a pen pal, we decided to try it ourselves.
In her first letter to me, she wrote, “The idea of having a pen pal seems so romantic to me.While I appreciate the conveniences of the modern world, certain traditions carry a timeless beauty.”
I couldn't agree more. My love for handwritten notes wasn't new. I' ve always enjoyed writing personal letters to friends. When I graduated from high school,I even wrote to each of my friends,reflecting on our memories and wishing them well as we went our separate ways. But my exchange with Sarah felt different. We were strangers getting to know each other through letters.
Sarah told me that she loves baking and that her favorite thing to make is chocolate chip cookies. She also said she enjoys watching sunsets by the beach and that she thinks they' re the most peaceful moments of her day. From her letters, I learned a lot about San Francisco, too. In return, I shared stories about my life in Boston. I also told her about my favorite season, fall, and how the trees turn beautiful shades of red and orange.
Writing to Sarah has become a cherished hobby. While texting or emailing is quick, there's something magical about opening a handwritten letter. The thoughtful choice of words and the care behind each detail make it unique. I look forward to every envelope that arrives, knowing it carries a bit of Sarah's world into mine.
14. What led Emma to begin writing letters to Sarah
A. Fondness of handwritten letters.
B. Inspiration by other people's experiences.
C. Eagerness to know more about each other.
D. Longing for a completely different lifestyle.
15. Why did Emma mention writing letters to her high school friends

C. To reveal her joy from letter writing. D. To highlight her efforts to write letters.

C. A fight against the overuse of Internet. D. A way to make close personal connection.

Nowadays, using entertainment to feel better, relax, and escape from stress is common, and holiday movies are a popular choice for this purpose. Many media companies have noticed this trend and are creating more holiday“feel-good” movies. Why Holiday movies make us happy.
Psychologists explain happiness in two ways: Hedonic happiness is what we get from feelings of pleasure and enjoyment. It tends to be more transitory, like eating chocolate. Eudaimonic happiness, however, comes from experiences that create a sense of meaning and purpose and tends to be with us longer.
Holiday movies can give us both kinds of happiness. They make us feel good with humor, love stories, beautiful settings, likable actors, and happy endings. And they also remind us of important things like hope, love, and being connected to others, which adds deeper sense of meaning.
Although holiday movies are well-known for being predictable or simple, that's part of what makes them comforting. They are guilty pleasures that make us feel good — we don't expect critical praise. We just want to make sure that the world will be put right. The characters face challenges. A disappointed hero struggles, makes great efforts, and finally achieves not just happiness but the true meaning of the holiday spirit through love or family support.
The predictability also provides comfort. No matter how unbelievable or simple it is, the plot touches real emotions. The predictability means we also enjoy re-watching favorite holiday movies,because the familiarity feels good and safe, knowing everything will end well and feeling connected to“home” on holidays. These movies can refresh memories and shared experiences that make the holidays more meaningful.
So, if you feel guilty about liking holiday movies next time, don't be! They combine happy and emotional moments, which are good for both your mind and body. They help us laugh, feel empathy, and enjoy the holiday spirit.
18. What does the underlined word“transitory” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Short and quick. B. Real and deep.
C. Thrilling and artistic. D. Emotional and strong.
19. Why does the author call holiday movies“guilty pleasures”
A. They show fake happiness. B. They avoid real problems.
C. They are only about feelings. D. They are simple but enjoyable.
20. How does the familiarity of holiday movies affect viewers
A. It creates unrealistic holiday expectations.
B. It helps to connect with shared memories.
C. It encourages viewers to focus on meaning.
D. It makes the predictable plots less attractive.
21. What does the author think of holiday movies
A. They rely on predictable plots.
B. They lack creativity and depth.
C. They focus on perfect holiday stories.
D. They provide comfort and emotional value.
D
When we think about aging, gray hair and wrinkles often come to mind, usually connected to poor health. But can looking healthier actually mean being healthier Psychologist Laura Carstensen from Stanford University thinks so. She believes that feeling good about aging can encourage people to take better care of themselves. She explains that having a positive self-image might lead to better habits, which can benefit both the body and the mind.
This idea has resulted in more interest in the role of skin health in overall well-being. Scientists have discovered that proteins(蛋白质) called sirtuins, which exist in many living creatures, play an important role in how cells age and react to stress. These proteins help control cell(细胞) activity,making sure cells work properly and repair damage. As sirtuin levels go down with age because of things like UV rays and unhealthy habits, the skin's ability to resist damage decreases.
At Estée Lauder, researchers have been studying sirtuins for more than 15 years to find ways to slow down this process. They want to“remind” aging skin cells to behave like younger ones by activating sirtui n activity. For example, increasing Sirt1 helps rebuild elastic fibers, which can reduce sagging (下垂), while activating Sirt3 increases energy production in cells and boosts the production of a certain protein. Another protein, Sirt6, slows down the shortening of DNA, which can extend the“healthy life” of skin cells and reduce signs of aging.
These discoveries could change skincare forever, offering ways to achieve firmer, smoother skin with fewer wrinkles and age spots. But the impact goes beyond just appearance. As Carstensen emphasizes, “To help people feel good about themselves, how they look, what their skin is like, could be an incredibly positive contribution for public health. What we can do now is rethink how we live our lives, so that longer lives are higher-quality lives. Not just in old age, but in every stage of life.”
By looking at both the science of aging and its emotional effects, researchers are not only helping to extend lifespans but also improving the quality of those years. After all, a longer life is most meaningful when it is lived well.
22. What is the role of sirtuins in aging process
A. They speed up cell growth. B. They repair damaged cells.
C. They produce more skin cells. D. They remove harmful elements.
23. What did researchers do to slow down aging process
A. Boost energy storage. B. Rebuild skin structure.
C. Activate skin cell function. D. Increases DNA production.
24. What can be inferred from Carstensen's words in paragraph 4
A. People should care less about appearance.
B. Aging is mainly determined by physical health.
C. Skincare product is essential to higher-quality lives.
D. A positive self-image can improve health in old age.
25. Where can you most likely to find the text
A. Modern Painters B. Runner's World
C. Scientific American D. National Geographic

Hug a Tree
We know that spending time in nature reduces stress and improves our mood. We also know that the act of hugging ourselves or another living thing can improve our well-being. 26 That's exactly what hugging a tree does! Read on to learn more about the benefits of hugging a tree!
Take a Fresh Breath
27 So, when you are close to a tree and hug it in a forest, you are naturally in a more oxygen-rich environment. You are also more likely to be breathing in fewer pollutants, especially if the forest or woods are away from a main road or air line.
Improve Heart Health
One study found that when we experience nature — whether by hiking in nearby mountains or simply looking at trees and birds on the way to work— we can increase our heart rate variability. 28
Fight Against Depression
Trees’ positive effects on our mental health have been well documented. Researchers are even calling trees nature’ s Prozac. They note that feeling grounded or connected to nature can reduce anxiety and depression. When you hug a tree, you become grounded to its powerful roots, receiving energy that can help to fight seasonal affective disorder or depression year-round.
29
Trees are one of nature's greatest stress-reducers. It works by connecting you to the environment and allowing you to feel grounded in both space and time. When you hug a tree, you receive grounding energy through its roots. This has proven effective for people who have high levels of anxiety or fear,or those who suffer from nervousness and worry.
If you don't have a tree in your yard, go visit the local park or the botanic gardens or hike in the closest woodlands. Find a tree that speaks to you or is impressive in its appearance. Go give it a hug. 30 So what if passers-by laugh at you The hug you give is not just to the tree but to yourself and your spirit.
Reduce stress.
Receive more energy.
Get over your fear of embarrassment.
Both methods require little effort or time.
E. It is well known that trees produce oxygen.
F. Combining the two can create even greater effects.
G. This can lower the risks of many heart-related diseases.
