Liu Xiaoju, born in Loudi, Hunan in 1987, has a bone disease. She had her first bone break at three, and since then, even sneezing could break her bones. Despite the loneliness and pain in childhood, she stayed hopeful, believing the pain would ease over time, and was determined not to give up, inspired by her parents’ support.
At 15, she discovered a talent for painting and calligraphy, which became her comfort. But when her older sister, who carried her to school daily, underwent an operation and could no longer help her, Liu was forced to drop out at 18.
A visiting art teacher recognized her potential and began guiding her. This lit a spark of hope, laying the groundwork for her future in art.
The turning point came in 2009 when she learned of a provincial embroidery (刺绣) training program for people with disabilities. Despite her family’s concerns, local authorities gave a helping hand, arranging accommodations and support. “Illness closed one door but opened a window — it let me focus entirely on embroidery,” Liu said.
Recognized as a “Loudi Craftsman”, she became a city-level inheritor (继承人) of Xiangxiu. In 2020, she opened the Ju Ci Xiangxiu Dream Workshop, a studio funded by local authorities and charitable businessmen. Here, she trains more than 800 learners, most of whom are disabled, offering free classes to empower others.
“I want to pass on this craft so more disabled friends can stand firm in society,” she said. Her gratitude extends to the community: “Without social support, I couldn’t have done this.”

One of the problems people face today is lack of self expression. In this fast paced world, people are so busy that no one even bothers to listen to what the other person has to say. Self expression is necessary and one of the best ways to do so is by way of music.
Sharing our feelings as a coping mechanism with others can help in lowering our stress to a large extent. It also fetches support from those around us. Research shows that people who have someone to hear them out are happier compared to those who don’t.
Self expression is important but not easy. However, it can be made easy with the help of music. Music has proved to be of great help when it comes to self expression.
The power of music is such that by playing musical instruments such as drums or flute or guitar, you can convey how you are feeling or what you are going through. You can express even the most intense feelings with the help of music. Another way in which you can express yourself is by writing lyrics, words of a song. This is a great way to communicate your feelings. You can write the lyrics of an existing song or a mix of different ones or even make up new lyrics. The idea always is to express yourself.
You don’t have to be a great musician or writer to do all this. Don’t worry about the outcome. Just follow the process and it will help in true expression of self. This is a way to liberate oneself and see things from a different way. Whether someone hears out your composition or not, you will feel liberated once you express it by way of music.
Expressing self can be difficult, but it can be less stressful with the help of music, a good medium for self expression.

Esports training isn’t just about playing more games; it’s about playing smarter, understanding the game ways, improving your reaction, and developing a strategic mind. So take your controller or keyboard, and let’s get started.

Understanding the game ways is fundamental. This includes knowing the rules, the controls, and the strategies that are used by top players.
Reaction time is crucial in esports. The faster you can react, the better your chances of winning. Believe it or not, doing sports can also help improve your reaction time. Activities like jogging, cycling, or even yoga can help improve your overall reaction and mental clarity.
Esports training can be intense, and it’s easy to forget to take care of yourself. But taking care of your body and mind will pay off in the long run.

59. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a sunny Tuesday, and the final math exam was about to start. In Classroom 302, Tom sat nervously at his desk, his leg bouncing up and down. His hands were sweaty, and he kept wiping them on his jeans. Next to him was his best friend. Amy, who gave him a comforting smile, but it did little to calm his nerves. If he failed this time, he would have to take a make-up exam.
Tom had spent all weekend studying, but as the teacher handed out the test papers, a wave of panic washed over him. He scanned the questions, his eyes widening in horror when he saw the last question. It was about a topic he didn't understand at all, and his mind went completely blank.
Halfway through the test, the clock on the wall seemed to tick louder with each passing second. Tom's heart was pounding so hard that he thought everyone around him could hear it. He stole a glance at Amy's paper from the corner of his eye. Her answers were neatly written, and she was already on the last page. The desire to have a quick look at her answers secretly was pulling him in.
His hand trembled as he slowly started to lean over. Just a quick look, he told himself. No one would even notice. But as his stare inched closer to Amy's paper, a sudden cough from the teacher made him move back in his seat. His face burned with guilt, and he felt a knot forming in his stomach.
Amy, who had been focused on her own test, suddenly looked up and caught Tom's eye. Her smile disappeared, replaced by a look of disappointment that cut through him like a knife. Tom felt a lump（哽）rise in his throat. He knew that what he did was wrong, but the fear of failing seemed even worse.
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。
After the exam, Amy waited for Tom outside the classroom.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Over the next week, they spent hours in the library to prepare for the make-up exam.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After the exam, Amy waited for Tom outside the classroom. When Tom emerged, his head hung low in shame. Amy approached him gently but with a serious look. “Tom, cheating is never the answer,” she said. “I know you were scared, but it’s not right.” Tom felt tears welling up in his eyes. He apologized profusely, saying he had let himself and her down. Amy forgave him, but reminded him that honesty was the most important thing. She then offered to help him study for the make-up exam if he needed it.
Over the next week, they spent hours in the library to prepare for the make-up exam. Amy patiently explained the difficult math concepts to Tom. Tom listened attentively, taking detailed notes and asking questions whenever he was confused. With Amy's help, Tom gradually understood the topic that had once stumped him. As the days passed, his confidence grew. When the make-up exam arrived, Tom walked into the classroom with a calm heart, ready to prove himself through his own hard work.2025年茂名市普通高中高一年级教学质量监测

59. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a sunny Tuesday, and the final math exam was about to start. In Classroom 302, Tom sat nervously at his desk, his leg bouncing up and down. His hands were sweaty, and he kept wiping them on his jeans. Next to him was his best friend. Amy, who gave him a comforting smile, but it did little to calm his nerves. If he failed this time, he would have to take a make-up exam.
Tom had spent all weekend studying, but as the teacher handed out the test papers, a wave of panic washed over him. He scanned the questions, his eyes widening in horror when he saw the last question. It was about a topic he didn't understand at all, and his mind went completely blank.
Halfway through the test, the clock on the wall seemed to tick louder with each passing second. Tom's heart was pounding so hard that he thought everyone around him could hear it. He stole a glance at Amy's paper from the corner of his eye. Her answers were neatly written, and she was already on the last page. The desire to have a quick look at her answers secretly was pulling him in.
His hand trembled as he slowly started to lean over. Just a quick look, he told himself. No one would even notice. But as his stare inched closer to Amy's paper, a sudden cough from the teacher made him move back in his seat. His face burned with guilt, and he felt a knot forming in his stomach.
Amy, who had been focused on her own test, suddenly looked up and caught Tom's eye. Her smile disappeared, replaced by a look of disappointment that cut through him like a knife. Tom felt a lump（哽）rise in his throat. He knew that what he did was wrong, but the fear of failing seemed even worse.
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。
After the exam, Amy waited for Tom outside the classroom.
