Set Boundaries, Find Peace By Nedra Glover Tawwab
Description The instant New York Times bestseller. End the struggle, speak up for what you need, and experience the freedom of being truly yourself. Healthy boundaries. We all know we should have them in order to achieve work & life balance, deal with negative people, and enjoy rewarding relationships with partners, friends, and family. But what do “healthy boundaries” really mean — and how can we successfully express our needs, say “no,” and be decisive without offending others Licensed consultant, sought-after relationship expert, and one of the most influential therapists on Instagram, Nedra Glover Tawwab clarifies this complex topic for today’s world.

Alex is my regular hiking, ice-climbing, and mountain-biking partner. We were on a one-night trip, and what he brought for dinner was just rice. Literally nothing else.
This was not because he was trying to pack as light as possible, nor was it because he was broke. I tried to convince him to at least add some soy sauce (酱油) to it. But no, Alex wasn’t having any of it. “I don’t need it,” he said simply.
Now, if he was talking only about outdoors’ meals, I almost understood the reason. When you’re ravenous after a day of burning off calories walking or climbing or backcountry skiing in the mountains, how awesome do things taste! Just as the saying goes, hunger is the best sauce. And I agree. Absolutely.
But there’s more to it than that. Last month, I went down the coast car camping with my family. One morning, my wife made a statement. “I don’t see the point,” she said. “It’s so much work, camping. But the views at home are better. The beds are more comfortable. It’s more peaceful. And at home, the food is better.” I’ll admit she’s right about the first three. But the food We had a simple pasta one night, snags another, chicken curry the third, but they all tasted good. Better than at home. And it wasn’t simply that we were hungry; it was because we were camping.
The real point I want to convey is that meals taste particularly good when I’m camping because it reminds me of things that are easily overlooked at home, where I can just go to the cupboard or the supermarket and grab whatever I feel like. When you’re camping, life is reduced to its essentials, and I’m reminded of how privileged most of us are to be dry, warm and fed. More importantly, I’m reminded that, sadly, not everyone is as fortunate as we are. And I’m reminded that, as a society, we should do better for them.
24. Why did Alex bring only rice for dinner on the trip
A. He didn’t like soy sauce. B. He preferred to travel light.
C. He couldn’t afford a better meal. D. He thought simple food enough outdoors.
25. What does the underlined word “ravenous” in the third paragraph mean
A. Exhausted. B. Starving. C. Charming. D. Refreshed.
26. What makes the author sad in the last paragraph
A. Some people lack the basic necessities of life. B. Some people fail to appreciate what they have.
C. People easily forget the beauty of simple things. D. People easily quit camping due to its discomfort.
27. What message does the author want to convey in the passage
A. Camping is a test of adaptability to challenges. B. Camping is a bonding experience for family.
C. Camping is a reminder of our good life. D. Camping is a chance to enjoy a feast.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C
C
A psychological concept called “false consensus effect” helps explain why kind people sometimes harm the environment. In psychology, the false consensus effect is a cognitive bias (偏见) where a person tends to overestimate how much other people agree with him or her. There is a tendency for people to assume that their own improper habits or acts are “normal”. And most importantly, they believe others think the same way that they do. Put simply, if you’re doing something (even if you secretly know you probably shouldn’t), you’re more likely to think plenty of other people do it too.
This bias allows people to justify socially unacceptable or illegal behaviors. Researchers have observed the false consensus effect in drug use and illegal hunting. More recently, conservationists are beginning to reveal how this effect contributes to environmental damage. In Australia, people who admitted poaching, a way of fishing in no-take zones, thought it was much more common in society than it really was. They also believed others viewed it as socially acceptable. However, in reality, more than 90% of fishers held the opposite view.
Just as concepts from psychology can help explain some forms of environmental damage, so can they help address it. For example, research shows people are more likely to litter in areas where there’s already a lot of trash scattered around, so making sure the ground around a bin is clean may help.
Factual information on how other people think and behave can be very powerful. Electricity companies have substantially reduced household energy use simply by showing people how their electricity use compares to that of their neighbors. Encouragingly, stimulating people’s natural desire for status has also been successful in getting people to publicly buy eco-friendly products.
28. Which example best illustrates “false consensus effect”
A. A driver thinks illegal parking is common.
B. A blogger assumes many people dislike his posts.
C. A student figures most people spend long hours online.
D. A smoker believes people generally approve of smoking.
29. What was most Australian fishers’ attitude to poaching
A. Unacceptable. B. Widespread. C. Controversial. D. Complex.
30. How have electricity companies reduced energy consumption
A. By comparing power consumption. C. By offering financial rewards.
B. By doing round-the-clock monitoring. D. By promoting renewable energy.
31. What is the primary purpose of this article
A. To encourage people to reduce energy consumption.
B. To link a psychological concept to environmental issues.
C. To emphasize the importance of environmental protection.
D. To describe different types of environmentally harmful behaviors.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. A 31. B

“If you take a regular piece of paper and try to make it fly, it will fly up, fall downwards, flip around in the air and do all sorts of crazy motions,” says Leif Ristroph, an associate professor of mathematics at New York University. “But if you fold it into a paper airplane, the magic of it is that it doesn’t do all those things,” he says. “It will fly smoothly.” This awesome ability is why he’s so keen on paper airplanes.
But how smoothly can they fly Ristroph and a team of fellow scientists decided to test this for the benefit of science. “To try to understand the math and physics involved, we decided to go simple,” Ristroph says — so simple that their “paper airplanes” were just small sheets of paper, two inches wide by six inches long, sometimes left perfectly flat and sometimes folded a bit on each side to give them fins (鱼鳍).
But why does he study paper airplanes “What’s amazing about them,” Ristroph says, “is that there’s no tail that’s needed”. Most birds and airplanes rely on their tails to keep level while flying. Meanwhile, their wings are used to generate “lift”, which is the force that overcomes gravity’s tendency to pull objects down. Yet, a paper airplane does these all in one. “I doubt if our discoveries will change the way passenger airplanes are designed,” Ristroph says. However, he adds, “It could be more useful as we start to think about very, very small flying aircraft, such as flying robots and tiny drones for helping search-and-rescue teams or monitoring air quality above cities.” Because these aircraft may be too small to fit separate lift and stability mechanisms (机械装置), perhaps they can offer these functions together, just as a simple paper airplane does.
Kids can also benefit from Ristroph’s research. For the typical paper airplane, which is folded into a triangular shape, Ristroph suggests experimenting to make it fly smoothly. He recommends placing a paper clip on the body of the plane, where you hold it to launch it. Try putting the clip in various spots, forward and backward. “Sooner or later, you will hit the perfect position and the airplane will gracefully soar,” Ristroph says.
32. Why did Ristroph use simple sheets of paper in his experiments
A. To reduce the costs of scientific research.
B. To illustrate the basic principles of flight.
C. To imitate the flying complexity of birds.
D. To prove the unsteadiness of flat paper.
33. What can be inferred about future small flying robots
A. They will replace passenger airplanes entirely.
B. They require complex tail systems to function well.
C. Their design might combine lift and stability systems.
D. Their development will differ from paper airplane research.
34. What does Ristroph suggest kids do to make a paper airplane fly smoothly
A. Test different wing shapes for better lift.
B. Use lightweight materials like thin plastic.
C. Add a tail structure for stability during flight.
D. Adjust the placement of a paper clip on its body.
35. What is the best title for the passage
A. Future Innovations from Childhood Toys.
B. Paper Planes Inspiring Future Generations.
C. Scientific Theory and Value of Paper Planes.
D. Tail-Free Flying Machines Inspired by Paper Planes.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. C

Have you ever thought about the origins of mathematics Interestingly, unlike man-made inventions such as light bulbs or computers, mathematics isn’t something that was invented by someone. ____36____ And its discovery can’t even be attributed to one person. Instead, mathematics developed gradually over thousands of years through the contributions of many people!
____37____ No one can know for sure, but we can use our imaginations to think about how mathematics might have gotten its start. For example, if we go all the way back to prehistoric humans gathering peaches to eat, we can imagine how this basic task probably gave rise to a need for math. If you and your prehistoric friend gathered a basket full of peaches, you’d probably agree to divide them evenly (平均地). First, you’d need to know how many peaches you gathered. That means you’d need to count them. You might first need to come up with names for the basic units of measurement. ____38____
Similarly, division might have originated from the need to divide that pile of peaches. ____39____ And scientists believe that many basic mathematical functions, such as addition and multiplication appeared thousands of years ago in various areas at the same time, including China, India, Mesopotamia, and Egypt.
More advanced mathematics is traced to ancient Greece over 2,500 years ago. ____40____ Since then, mathematical findings have inspired later mathematicians and scientists to build on predecessors’ work, continuously broadening our comprehension of mathematics and its connection to the world.
A. How did it get started
B. When was it discovered
C. It’s really more of a discovery.
D. They were the first to discover the basics of mathematics.
E. Around this time, mathematics first became an organized science.
F. This might be how counting and the earliest numbers came about.
G. In fact, many mathematical principles were developed to meet practical needs.

Volunteering at the Animal Shelter
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Volunteering at the Animal Shelter
Last weekend, I participated in a volunteer activity at an animal shelter, which turned out to be an unforgettable and meaningful experience.
During my service, I took on various important tasks. First, I carefully cleaned the animals’ living areas, removing dirt and replacing old bedding to ensure a tidy environment for them. Then, I prepared food for different animals, giving cats their favorite canned food and offering parrots a mix of seeds and chopped fruits. What’s more, I spent a lot of time playing with them, like throwing balls for the dogs, which made the animals feel less lonely and much happier. The most touching moment came when a timid rescued dog finally approached me for petting(抚摸) after hours of patient interaction. It was incredibly heartwarming to witness its trust in me gradually building up through our interaction.
This volunteering experience not only made me realize the significance of animal protection, but also strengthened my determination to continuously participate in volunteer activities.

When Mrs. Patel, our head teacher, revealed the special group assignment to design a brochure celebrating our school’s 120th birthday, I was thrilled — I was incredibly proud of my school, the Riverside Elementary, which connected me to my roots. My father and grandfather had all graduated from here. I could still remember how they showed me their notebooks, in which I saw faded pictures of their classes, familiar corners of the school and fascinating stories of their school days.
Mrs. Patel added that the best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was. I was paired with two classmates: Ansel, who loved photography, and Emma, who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right But my enthusiasm was quickly dampened.
Our first team meeting was disastrous. As we discussed which campus areas to highlight, Ansel kept switching the conversation toward cameras. I looked hopefully at Emma, who was tapping her pen restlessly on the table. “This whole thing feels pointless,” she muttered. To my disappointment, Ansel chuckled and added, “Yeah, it seems that no one would really read that brochure.” My heart sank as I realized the project might be tougher than expected.
At our next meeting, I tried to change the situation. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. They had both promised to do some research. But instead Ansel showed us photos taken on the weekend while Emma hadn’t started her part of the research, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared.
Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, tying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Ansel and Emma have talents that can make this project shine.

【答案】One possible version:
With only three days left, I arranged the third meeting. With Mom’s words echoing in my mind, I chose to share with them my deep bond with the school. I brought my father’s and grandfather’s notebooks, showing them the faded photos and the fascinating stories. As they flipped through the pages, their eyes sparkled in amazement, a heartfelt pride for the school welling up. Inspired by the proud history spanning three generations, we found the right direction and dove into the project with renewed enthusiasm. This time, tasks were assigned according to everyone’s interest and unique talent. Ansel took charge of capturing photos of the campus from novel angles, while Emma paired them with heartfelt descriptions. As for me, I sought historical photos from the notebooks to add depth and richness to our brochure. The clock was ticking, but our earlier frustration and anxiety entirely melted away, replaced by shared passion and determination.
On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. With each turn of the page, Ansel’s spectacular photography and Emma’s elegant writing left everyone in awe. But the most exciting moment came when the images of our school from decades ago were unfolded before the classmates. Leaning forward with wide eyes, they gasped in amazement, deeply captivated. Never in their wildest dreams had they expected that our seemingly ordinary campus could be portrayed so beautifully. Cheers and applause erupted in the classroom from time to time. Without doubt, our brochure won recognition and got displayed in the library. Overwhelmed with a profound sense of pride and achievement, we exclaimed, “We did it!” and hugged together tightly in celebration of our successful collaboration. Reflecting on the journey, I realized that it was the effort to tap into each person’s talent that united us to work as a true team. Just as my mom always says, we need to find a way to get everyone involved.
