Comments and Opinions from Reader's Letters
Flood Of Tears
‘Yellow Dog's Travels’（My Story, Feb /Mar）made me back to 2010 when our family dog, folly, disappeared during a flood. Folly was very close to my grandmother and losing folly made her feel lost.
A year went by. One day, my father and I were driving through the countryside when, like a bolt out of the blue, we saw a brown dog that looked like folly. We rushed to pick up Grandma and drove back excitedly. Their reunion made us all cry. They were never separated after that.
Medical miracle
I was profoundly inspired by the article ‘Lives In The Balance’（Bonus Read, Feb / Mar）. On my first reading, I was impressed by the determination and devotion of neurosurgeon Dr Christopher Honey. After I reread it, the thought that came to me was, this goes beyond medicine. It is about the miracle of medicine.
Dynamic Metropolis
I loved reading the travel story ‘Heart & Seoul’（Fed / Mar）. The article brilliantly captured Seoul ' lively combination of tradition and modernity, offering readers a vivid glimpse into its rich cultures, from ancient palace's to dynamic street markets. It is a fascinating guide for anyone considering a visit to Seoul.
Flown The chop
Like the story ‘Empty Nest Syndrome’（Fed / Mar）, my youngest moved out recently. When he left, I sat on his bed and cried. My youngest had been at home for 26 years and suddenly his bedroom was empty.
We had spent a lot of time together — I home-schooled him for four years. I was lost when he left, but after struggling for a while I managed to find myself again. At meal times he would recount his day.
Now, walking around the supermarket I see the things I used to buy for him and it's hard. The house feels empty, too big. We started out as two and grew to five. Now we are learning to find our way back to the days before children.
21. What brought the reader of ‘Yellow Dog's Travels’ to tears
A. Reading a similar story. B. The disappearance of folly.
C. Spotting a brown dog. D. Molly's return to Grandma.
22. What impressed the reader of ‘Heart & Seoul’ most
A. The locals' wisdom. B. The modern architecture.
C. The historic markets. D. The tradition-modern mix.
23. What do the four comments have in common
A. They involve the readers' personal experiences. B. They share the readers' emotional response.
C. They show the readers' passion for family. D. They center on the readers' life changes.
B
Pollution has always been an issue around the world, among which ocean pollution stands out, especially plastic pollution. Trash can be seen almost everywhere on the beach and in the ocean and the amount grows rapidly, even out of control. Luckily, 4 ocean, an ocean clean-up company, has completed a record-setting feat（伟业） for collecting 30 million pounds of trash.
Operating in 12 locations across three countries worldwide, including the USA, Guatemala, and Indonesia, 4 ocean has become one of the leading ocean clean-up companies devoted to ending the ocean plastic crisis.
“We've built an entire business for the purpose of cleaning the ocean. With hundreds of local captains and crew members collecting trash from our oceans and coast lines seven days a week and the support of millions of people doing their part to prevent plastic pollution, I'm sure our work will have a lasting impact on the ocean,” said Alex Schulze, 4 ocean CEO and cd-founder.
The world has produced an estimated 18. 3 trillion pounds of plastic since the 1950 s; less than 10% of it has been recycled while 79 % is left in the environment, Global plastic production is expected to triple by 2050, according to the World Economic Forum, which means an increase in the amount of plastic waste polluting the environment.
But plastic pollution isn't just an environmental problem; it also threatens the global economy and global food security. Ocean-based industries like fishing and tourism employ billions of people; the blue economy also contributes several trillion dollars of goods and services to the global economy every year. More than 3 billion get their primary source of protein from seafood. “That's why it's important to us that our operations have a direct impact on the people and places most impacted by plastic pollution,” said Schulze.
He adds, “All of our captains and crews live in the communities we serve and are hired as full-time employees. All of our bracelets（手镯） are hand crafted by artisans living in either Guatemala or Bali. Every bracelet bought funds our clean ups and created jobs that provide the steady income people in these communities need right now.”
24. What is the intention of 4 ocean
A. To increase the employment rate. B. To address the ocean plastic issue.
C. To complete a record-setting feat. D. To set up a transnational company.
25. What contributes to 4 ocean's success
A. Effective team efforts. B. The CEO's ambition.
C. Government support. D. Multiple operating sited.
26. Why does the writer mention the World Economic Forum in paragraph 4
A. To highlight 4 ocean's initiative. B. To prove cleanups' recycling ability.
C. To stress the challenge facing clean ups. D. To complain about massive plastic waste.
27. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. Clean ups are funded by donations. B. 4ocean ensured global food security.
C. 4ocean's work has a far-reaching effect. D. Bracelets are collected from global artists.
C
In a world filled with social media, streaming movie's, and endless access to books, it seems strange that many people feel bored. However, a study by katy Y. Y. Tame and Michael Inzlicht, published in Communications Psychology, reveals that digital media may actually increase our boredom. Research shows that since 2010, the amount of time people report feeling bored has significantly increased, especially after smartphones and social media became popular.
Researchers explain that our ability to access entertainment anytime has raised our expectations for what is interesting or exciting. This is similar to addiction, where individuals need more stimulation（刺激） to feel satisfied. Consequently, when we engage in less exciting activities, such as reading or attending classes, we feel even more bored because we have become accustomed to higher levels of excitement.
Another reason why strolling through platforms like TikTok can leave us feeling bored and without energy is that digital media breaks our attention. We quickly switch between videos and activities, while notifications from our phone's make it difficult to focus. Also, knowing that we can be distracted makes it harder to focus. “Digital devices worsen boredom by distracting attention, raising the levels of engagement we want, weakening a sense of meaning, and being a useless way to deal with boredom,” tame and Inzlicht say in their paper. This phenomenon related to the “Dorito Theory” which suggests that unsatisfying experiences can still be addictive. As we scroll, we should consider whether our online experiences meet our expectations or merely distract us temporarily.
Tam suggests that we can enjoy more meaningful experiences with digital media by seeking out longer content that allows for deeper engagement. However, this may be more challenging today due to our shorter attention duration. To strengthen our viewing experiences, we should focus on the content and limit distractions, similar to how we pay for a more immersive（沉浸式的） experience in a movie theater. By doing so, we can find greater enjoyment in online videos rather than just skimming through them. This approach can help us overcome boredom more effectively.
28. What does the study focus on
A. Digital media effects on boredom. B. Entertainment functions of media.
C. Media usage habits of netizens. D. Popularity of streaming movies.
29. What leads to boredom increase according to the study
A. Lack of exciting books. B. Bad media experiences.
C. Easy access to digital content. D. High enjoyment expectations.
30. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. Assessing online experiences is a must. B. Shifting activities promoters focus.
C. Using TikTok is highly addictive. D. Boredom leads to distraction.
31. What is Tam's suggestion on dealing with boredom
A. Watching online videos. B. Avoiding using digital device.
C. Turning to long and engaging content. D. Using multiple screens for stimulation.
D
people today are much cleverer than in previous generations. A study of 72 countries found that average ids rose by 2.2 points per decade from 1948 to 2020, a phenomenon known as the “Flynn effect,” named after the scientist James Flynn who first identified it. Given that it took millions of years for the brain to evolve, how could it improve so rapidly
The answer lies in better nutrition and mental stimulation. Just as muscles need food and exercise, the brain require proper nutrients and activity for development. Today ' children are less likely to be malnourished and more likely to attend school. In wealthy countries, the Flynn effect has largely stabilized, while many children in poorer countries still lack enough nutrition to reach their cognitive（认知） potential. Globally, 22 % of children under five — about 150 million — are malnourished, and half suffer firm micronutrient short ages, which can lead to a loss of up to 15 id points.
Several factors hinder proper nutrition, including war and disease, which prevent families from accessing food and lead to nutrient short ages. Poverty is a significant issue, but not the only cause; UNICEF data shows that many malnourished children come from non-poor families, highlighting the impact of poor eating habits and cultural practice.
For instance, in patriarchal societies, pregnant women may face iron short ages due to unequal food distribution.
Effective strategies include enriching basic foods with micronutrients like iron and zinc（锌）, which is a cost-effective way to make a big difference. Another method is providing small cash sums to families with infants or pregnant mothers. Still, more research is needed to address these issues. For example, scientists in Bangladesh are exploring ways to promote beneficial gut bacteria among women in local poor areas. Researchers in Africa are working on treating anemia（贫血症） without worsening malaria. Some argue that human intelligence will matter less as we rely more on AI, but as Harvard's Steven Pinker notes, human intelligence is a vital “tail wind” helping us adapt to new challengers. Investing in the next generation's nutrition is not just right; it is essential.
32. What does “Flynn effect” refer to
A. Intelligence can be passed down. B. Nutrition has an impact on id.
C. Average ids change over time. D. Average ids go up per decade.
33. Which can replace the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 3
A. Promote. B. Block. C. Balance. D. Involve.
34. What does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph
A. More efforts are needed. B. AI affects human greatly.
C. Nutrition is less important. D. Effective strategies are adopted.
35. Which would be the suitable title for the passage
A. AI as Human id B. IQ Changes Over Time
C. Nutrition for Smarter Kids D. challenge for Kids' Growth

The city circle was quiet when my van（面包车） pulled up to Two's Company cafe. It was 8: 00 A. M.. As the film crew of student moviemakers hopped out of the van and started unloading a ton of equipment, I sat in the driver's seat reading a book.
Sometimes, it made me feel a bit sad that I was not wanted or needed on the set. These kids used to need a parent's advice, help and caring. Now, as older teens, they were making their own decisions, helping each other and supporting their friends through whatever assignments they were given. I was just the driver. Anything else that I might be able to impress on them was not required and, I dare say, unwelcome.
With all the equipment unloaded, the van now became the snack mobile and place to leave personal items. My job, as the driver, was to stay within calling distance with the keys when necessary.
To finish reading the book, I got out looking for a place to sit down. It was early, but I didn't want to sit in the sun. Against a wall, in the shade, just twenty or so faces away, I spied a beautifully carved park bench. I noticed that a man was sitting on one end, but there was plenty of room for at least two more bodies. Walking over, I set my drink on the ground near the leg of the bench and sat on the end seat so that I could rest my hand on the arm.
The man on the other end looked at me oddly but remained seated. I quickly discovered that he'd probably spent the night on the bench. His clothes were untidy, his hair was messy, and I could smell something unpleasant. I looked at him and smiled, and he smiled back with a mouth of misshapen and blacked-out teeth. That was it. He wasn't bothering me, and I thought I wasn't bothering him.
We both sat there for over an hour. I was reading. He was intently watching the filming. He then stood, walked in front of me and bowed. I looked up, not knowing what was going to happen next. In a slightly shake but clear voice, he said, “Thank you.”
注意: 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.
Astonished by his simple “thank you,” I looked at him with confusion. ___________________________________
Later, as the film crew began to load their equipment, I walked up to them. _______________________________
