Imagine walking across the stage to get your graduation certificate and also receiving a thousand dollars in cash. That's what happened in the graduation ceremony in Dartmouth! But there is more-graduates couldn't keep it all to themselves.
Robert Hale, a billionaire who owns a big telecommunications company, was present at the graduation, While delivering the speech, he told the students that he wanted to share with them the happiness that comes from giving.
So, when the 800 graduates went up to get their certificates , they each also got two envelopes, each containing $500. But they could only keep $500, and had to give the other $500 to someone else or to a charity.
The students were super excited. They cheered and clapped for almost a minute before Mr. Hale could speak again. He told them that the first $500 was a gift, but the second $500 was for them to give to someone who might need it more. Each envelope had either the word “gift" or “give” on it, to remind the graduates about the two parts of their surprise.
Some students have already decided where they will donate their money, like to community libraries, children's theaters, or to help a poor relative going through cancer treatment. It is a cool way for them to start their adult lives by helping others.This isn't the first time that Mr. Hale has done this kind of surprise. Actually, he has done it at other schools before, because he thinks it is a fun way to celebrate and inspire students who have worked really hard at school. He has given away more than$27 million to different charitable causes, like helping to find cures for cancer and supporting the underprivileged with their tuition fees.Thus , the final lesson that Dartmouth's graduates learned in college is about sharing and giving. It is a graduation gift that will keep on giving, and a valuable story they will never forget.

In the journey through high school, students are often faced with academic challenges, social dramas, and multiple pressures. That is why the concept of mental resilience stands out. It is the superpower that lets you bounce back from setbacks and cope with the ups and downs in life.
Professor Lynn Warren, director of the Adolescent Development Research Institute(ADRl) , has conducted numerous studies on the psychological well-being of teenagers.In order to uncover how resilience impacts students’ academic journey, her research team carried out a comprehensive survey to gather representative samples and provide insightful data.
The study has revealed a strong positive correlation between resilience and academic engagement. Resilient students are found to be more deeply involved in class discussions, to take on leadership roles in school communities, and to seek out additional learning opportunities. Moreover, these students demonstrate superior academic performance and better understanding of complex subject matters.Mr. Thompson, a mathematics teacher at Evergreen High School, exemplifies the findings of the study through his teaching practices. He has made it his mission not only to teach math but also to inject a sense of resilience in his students. He employs a variety of methods to cheer students up. Over time, Mr. Thompson's efforts began to bear fruit. His students’ attitudes towards math shifted from fear to fascination. They started to look ahead , and more importantly, this process helped them develop a growth mindset.
Professor Warren, based on her research, recommends creating an encouraging atmosphere where teens can freely discuss their challenges and receive helpful feedback.She also stresses the value of building a supportive network. Whether it's a teacher, a coach, or a peer, having someone who can give you a boost when you need it can make all the difference. So, the next time you face a challenge, remember, it's not about avoiding them, but about learning to bounce back from them.

B. He inspires students to be mentally resilient.
C. His efforts to promote resilience are in vain.
D. He wants to challenge the findings of the study.

A. Suggestions on building resilience.
B.Discussions of academic challenges.
C.Importance of a supportive network.

When you are at a party full of strangers, to make connections, you share a bit about yourself— your dreams, your values, and why you are here. That is your personal story. Brands do the same thing, but their“party” is the marketplace.
Storytelling has become an important tool for brands in today's commercial world.An effective brand story is a way to connect, making the public remember the brand and even fall in love with it.
To craft an appealing brand story, start with the essentials: where the brand came from, what it stands for, and what it wants to achieve beyond profits. The story should illustrate why the brand exists and what drives it forward. By sharing the challenges that the brand has overcame and the journey it has undertaken to make it this far, it is actually declaring, “This is who we are and why you should take notice.”
Yet, an effective brand story is not just about reflecting on the past; it is also about drawing a picture of where the brand is heading and making people want to be part of the picture. The secret lies in maintaining sincerity and simplicity. A well-packaged brand story should be easy to understand and consistent, no matter where you see it— online,in stores, or on social media. This helps the brand gain recognition and loyalty from consumers.
Another magic of a brand story is that it can stir up strong emotions. It is about finding a message that hits the audience. For instance, Coca-Cola has a long history of effective brand storytelling. The brand has created a story of happiness, friendship,and togetherness. Their advertising often features people from different backgrounds coming together over a bottle of Coke, emphasizing the brand's role in bringing people together.
Therefore, it is true to say storytelling is the heartbeat of a brand and the secret sauce that turns customers into fans for life.
32. What do the party and the marketplace have in common according to paragraph 1
A. Venues for social gathering.
B. Platforms to make connections.
C. Chances of promoting products.
D. Places to share your personal story.
33. What is the purpose of sharing a brand's challenges and journey
A. To bring up its future plans.B. To showcase product features.
C. To outline marketing directions.D. To explain why it deserves attention.
34. What is the secret to telling a brand story effectively
A. Maintaining its magical power.
B. Reflecting on the past experiences.
C. Holding onto a clear and sincere style.
D. Emphasizing profits to attract the audience.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How to Communicate with Fans for Life
B. Brand Stories: A Guide to Customer Service
C. Relationship Between Marketing Skills and Emotions
D. Every Brand Has a Story: How Telling It Wins Hearts

Artificial intelligence (AI) can really help with first-aid training in high schools.By providing fun and easy-to-reach practices, AI can add color to students’ learning experience. Here is how it can be useful.
· Interactive Practice
Real-life scenes. _36_ For example, fires in teaching buildings, injuries caused by falling objects, stampedes(踩踏) on stairs, etc. Students can act in different emergency situations, just like in real life.
Quick response. As students do first aid in the practice, AI can give quick advice on how they are doing. _37_ For example, if a student is pressing a wound wrong, AI can tell them the mistake right away and show them the correct way to do it.
Practice again and again. _38_ In this way, they will get familiar with the operation and feel more confident. Each time they do the practice, AI can change the scene a bit to keep it new and challenging.
· Personalized Study
_39_ This makes sure each student gets the most from the training and can learn at their own speed. For example, if a student can't do CPR right, AI can give the student detailed advice on this part. Besides, according to how a student does at the start, AI can design a learning path that focuses on what the student needs to work on.
Moreover, AI-powered online classes offer things like video lessons, hands-on games, and stories about real cases. These flexible approaches can make first-aid training easier for students who are afraid of asking questions. _40_
In conclusion, by using AI in first-aid training, high schools can get students ready to handle emergencies and save lives.
A. Students can decide how to give first aid.
B. Students can do the practices many times.
C. This advice can tell whether they are doing the right steps.
D. AI provides the type of training based on what each student needs.
E. The training has improved how fast they are responding on the spot.
F. This can be good news for those who might be shy in a normal classroom.
G. AI can present different lifelike emergency scenes for students to practice.

And so, the tale of the elephants outsmarting the humans has become a legendary story at the reserve. It stands as a vivid reminder of the _54_ nature of the wildlife and their astonishing, human-like intelligence, leaving the staff with a deeper appreciation for the _55_ of nature.

Simon was the star of the school sports team. He loved the thrill of outrunning the wind and crossing the finish line first. His name was always on the tip of everyone's tongue when it came to school sports events.
His little brother, Charlie, loved running too and had always been a fan of Simon.He admired his brother from the bottom of his heart, his eyes wide with excitement as Simon sped past everyone on the track. He wanted to be like Simon and feel the wind in his hair as he ran. Charlie's dream of being a runner grew like a tiny seed, but was overshadowed by his brother's bright light. He realized he could never run as fast as Simon did: His feet felt heavy on the track, and his heart was even heavier with fear.
As the annual school sports day approached, Charlie saw the notice on the school bulletin board. His heart did a little dance. A running race! He wanted to be a part of it, to feel the excitement that Simon felt. With a trembling hand, Charlie wrote his name on the list and signed up for the running race, which would take place in two weeks.
That night, he couldn't sleep, his mind racing with worries. He tossed and turned,picturing himself tripping and falling. What if he lost What if everyone laughed at him He couldn't contain himself and sobbed quietly. He felt as if he was a tiny bird trying to fly alongside an eagle.
When Simon found Charlie crying in his room, he knew something was up. “Hey buddy, what's all this ” he asked softly, his face filled with concern. Charlie looked upat his big brother with a long sigh and said, “I am going to lose, Simon. I'm not like you. I will never run as fast as you do.”

Dear Chris,
I hope this email finds you well. I want to share with you an exciting event that took place in our school yesterday— the Traditional Food Festival.
Aiming to showcase the rich diversity of Chinese cuisine, the Traditional Food Festival highlighted its cultural significance with food stands set up around the campus,each offering a different traditional dish. Not only did we try some dumplings, rice noodles, Kung Pao Chicken, but we also learned how to make dishes in cooking workshops.
Having participated in this unforgettable activity, I enjoyed mouth-watering dishes and gained a deeper understanding of Chinese cuisine. I found myself immersed in this delightful food journey.

One possible version:
Simon gave Charlie a pat on the back and smiled. He wiped away Charlie's tears and said, “You know what, Charlie. What really matters is not about being the fastest.It is about giving it your all and surpassing your previous self.” He promised to train with Charlie together. From that day on, Simon woke up early to run with Charlie.Simon would teach Charlie all his secrets to running fast and staying strong. And with each passing day, Charlie's confidence grew, and so did his speed. Charlie was no longer just a fan on the sidelines; he was a runner with his own dreams to chase.
Two weeks later, Charlie stood at the starting line. His legs were a little shaky but his heart was full of courage. With each breath, he remembered Simon's words,“You' re not just running a race, Charlie. You' re running towards your courage.”Charlie's feet found a rhythm on the track, and he ran with a determination that surprised even himself. The crowd around him faded away, and all he could hear was Simon's cheers, guiding him to the finish line. It was a day Charlie would never forget,a day when he learned that with belief and brotherly love, he could have the strength to keep going on any race in life.
