At 6:00 am, I stepped out of my car into the July heat in Houston, Texas. At fifty-three, I’d train for my first half-marathon as my plan to build friendships in an unknown city!
Houston was quite a change from Southern California, where I grew up. I had bravely faced my husband’s job transfer, but without my old routines of PTA meetings and my kids’ school events, I wondered what my days would look like.
The answer arrived when Annie, a runner in the neighborhood, phoned and invited me to join USA Fit. I was hoping she would hear the disinterest in my voice, but Annie didn’t give up easily. That day her plan succeeded in winning my final yes. Then, we were divided into groups according to marathon or half- marathon, and pace. I had a group and friends!
From day one, four experienced women, Diane, Karen, Jill, and Betsy, never left my side. By fall, I came to believe I could walk the half-marathon at the required rapid pace. My confidence grew from strict preparation and our courage. But when only one week remained, panic struck. Deep insecurity surfaced—was I truly up to the challenge Yet together, we encouraged each other and persevered(坚持).
My goal had simply been to finish the half-marathon. At some crazy point, I decided to
complete the race in less than three hours. The last mile was nearly intolerable. Our pace had been much quicker than during training. Luckily, the final stretch was bursting with enthusiasm from the crowded sidewalks.
Six months of preparation finished with one step over a thin black line. Passionate volunteers placed medals around our necks. I felt the shiny ribbon with an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. At that moment, I realized I had become part of my new community.
Why did the author move to Houston
Her husband got a new job there. B．She wanted to join her friends. C．Her children were transferred there. D．She moved there for retirement.
What was the author’s first reaction when Annie called
Grateful. B．Upset. C．Thrilled. D．Uninterested.
What caused the author’s panic one week before the race
Her slim chance of winning a prize. B．The demanding training schedule. C．Her self-doubt about finishing the race. D．The fear of disappointing her friends.
What do we know about the author from the last paragraph
She generously helped other runners.
She felt a sense of belonging in running.
She formed friendship with the volunteers.
She beat other runners by running one step faster.
C
The human mind is deeply influenced by the collective (集体的). This phenomenon, termed herd mentality, describes the tendency of individuals to adopt the behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes of the groups to which they belong. It shapes our thoughts and decisions, often without conscious awareness. From social media trends to consumer behavior patterns, herd mentality affects how we think and act. But are we truly independent thinkers, or are we simply following the crowd
Herd mentality has evolutionary roots. For early humans, survival depended on group cohesion (凝聚力).
Those who stayed with the tribe enjoyed protection and access to resources, while loners faced threats alone. Over generations, this adaptive behavior became a natural part of life. Today, although the physical dangers of being alone have decreased, the psychological pull of the group remains powerful.
Human beings are naturally social creatures, driven by a fundamental need for acceptance and a sense of belonging. Our identities are often tied to the groups we belong to, and the fear of rejection drives us to conform, even at the cost of our personal beliefs. This group pressure is strengthened by cognitive biases ( 认知偏见) that twist judgment. The herd mentality leads individuals to trust the majority opinion without critically evaluating it, while repeated exposure to the same information can make it seem more believable. Social media intensifies these biases by promoting popular content over truth, creating echo chambers that support existing beliefs rather than challenge them.
In certain circumstances, herd mentality can have positive effects, particularly in situations where individuals have limited information or expertise. Following the majority can lead to better outcomes, as the collective knowledge of the group surpasses that of any single person. However, excessive herd mentality poses risks, including suppressing independent thought, harming creativity, and facilitating the spread of misinformation. Therefore, developing critical thinking — questioning assumptions, evaluating sources, and exploring diverse perspectives — is essential for both personal independence and collective progress.
Which behavior best demonstrates herd mentality A．Supporting group opinions to fit in with others. B．Improving a solution with individual creativity. C．Selecting a career based on family expectations. D．Accepting expert advice in complicated situations.
Why did early humans develop herd mentality
To enhance their social status.
To meet their emotional needs.
To strengthen their hunting skills.
To increase their chances of survival.
What is paragraph 3 mainly about
The link between group pressure and self-identity.
The effect of herd mentality on human minds.
The factors contributing to herd mentality.
The role of social media in shaping personal beliefs.
Which statement will the author probably agree with
Herd mentality is inevitable in highly connected societies.
It is important to maintain critical thinking in a trend-following society. C．Misinformation can lead individuals to rely on collective opinions.
D．True independence is achieved by rejecting diverse perspectives.
D
Forget to bring your charger What if your clothing could generate electricity from the heat your body naturally produces This futuristic concept is becoming a reality.
Scientists at Chalmers University and Link ping University in Sweden have developed a new yarn (纱线) that can generate electricity from body heat, using a polymer coating (聚合物涂层) applied to ordinary silk yarn. The principle is the thermoelectric effect ( 热电效应), where temperature differences between the human body and its surrounding environment create electrical energy. As the human body produces constant heat, the warmer side of the thermoelectric material transfers electrons to the colder side, generating an electrical current.
"The polymers that we use are bendable, lightweight and easy to use in both liquid and solid form. They are also harmless," says study first author Mariavittoria Craighero. Unlike previous attempts at creating thermoelectric textiles, this breakthrough solves a long-standing problem: the lack of air-stable polymers.
"The new type of polymer has outstanding performance stability in contact with air while at the same time having a very good ability to conduct electricity. By using polymers, we don't need any rare earth metals, which are common in electronics," explains Craighero.
The new thermoelectric yarn could power sensors in clothing to monitor vital signs like heart rate and body temperature without needing battery changes or recharging. Beyond healthcare, it could enable lowpower functions in smart clothing, such as environmental sensing and location tracking. As power conversion efficiency improves, more power-demanding features can be supported.
While the new polymers mark a major step forward in thermoelectric textiles, it's important to note that the temperature differences in lab tests are much higher than those typically experienced in everyday clothing. As a result, real-world performance may be lower. Moreover, the yarn generates only 0.67 microwatts at a 70-degree temperature difference, which is far too little to charge devices like smartphones. The manufacturing process is also time-consuming, requiring four days of manual work to create one piece, making it impractical for large-scale commercial production.
How does the new approach generate electricity
By recycling the flow of air.
By absorbing the energy of sunlight.
By heating the surrounding environment.
By making use of temperature differences.
What advantage do the new polymers have over previous materials
Lower costs. B．Greater safety. C．Higher stability. D ． Less weight.
What can we learn about the new yarn from paragraph 4
It needs to be charged regularly.
It has broad application prospects.
It is designed for medical treatment.
It will be launched into the market soon.
What is the last paragraph mainly about
The limitations of putting the polymers into practical use.
The standard of producing the new textile.
The potential of the polymers in powering devices.
The follow-up test plan of scientists.

My friend Clara and I were excited to join our school’s nature exploration camp last weekend. It was the first time we had ever taken part in such an outdoor adventure, and we couldn’t wait to explore the national park. Early Saturday morning, after a short safety briefing from our instructor Mr. Turner, we set off on the hiking trail ( 小径) with our backpacks, water bottles, and maps. Everyone was full of energy and excitement.
The sun was shining, birds were singing, and the light wind made the air feel fresh and clean. As we walked along the narrow dirt path, we chatted happily and took photos of wildflowers, butterflies, and even a deer in the distance. After two hours of hiking, we reached a hilltop that
offered a breathtaking view of the green valley below. We sat on a big rock, ate some snacks, and laughed as we shared our favorite parts of the trip so far.
Then Clara pointed to a spot on the map. “There’s a waterfall nearby,” she said. “Let’s go to find it!” I agreed, and we decided to explore a little deeper into the woods. We told Mr. Turner and he reminded us not to go too far. The deeper we walked, the quieter it became. The tall trees blocked out most of the sunlight, and the path beneath our feet became slippery (滑的) with leaves and moss.
About half an hour later, we heard the sound of rushing water and quickened our pace (步伐)， excited to finally see the waterfall. But just as we thought we were close, the sky suddenly darkened. The wind picked up, and the thunder rolled in the distance. I looked at Clara, and for the first time that day, I saw worry on her face. We had no umbrellas and were far from the main trail. We hesitated, unsure whether to turn back or move forward.

At 6:00 am, I stepped out of my car into the July heat in Houston, Texas. At fifty-three, I’d train for my first half-marathon as my plan to build friendships in an unknown city!
Houston was quite a change from Southern California, where I grew up. I had bravely faced my husband’s job transfer, but without my old routines of PTA meetings and my kids’ school events, I wondered what my days would look like.
The answer arrived when Annie, a runner in the neighborhood, phoned and invited me to join USA Fit. I was hoping she would hear the disinterest in my voice, but Annie didn’t give up easily. That day her plan succeeded in winning my final yes. Then, we were divided into groups according to marathon or half- marathon, and pace. I had a group and friends!
From day one, four experienced women, Diane, Karen, Jill, and Betsy, never left my side. By fall, I came to believe I could walk the half-marathon at the required rapid pace. My confidence grew from strict preparation and our courage. But when only one week remained, panic struck. Deep insecurity surfaced—was I truly up to the challenge Yet together, we encouraged each other and persevered(坚持).
My goal had simply been to finish the half-marathon. At some crazy point, I decided to
complete the race in less than three hours. The last mile was nearly intolerable. Our pace had been much quicker than during training. Luckily, the final stretch was bursting with enthusiasm from the crowded sidewalks.
Six months of preparation finished with one step over a thin black line. Passionate volunteers placed medals around our necks. I felt the shiny ribbon with an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. At that moment, I realized I had become part of my new community.
Why did the author move to Houston
Her husband got a new job there. B．She wanted to join her friends. C．Her children were transferred there. D．She moved there for retirement.
What was the author’s first reaction when Annie called
Grateful. B．Upset. C．Thrilled. D．Uninterested.

She felt a sense of belonging in running.
She formed friendship with the volunteers.
She beat other runners by running one step faster.
C
The human mind is deeply influenced by the collective (集体的). This phenomenon, termed herd mentality, describes the tendency of individuals to adopt the behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes of the groups to which they belong. It shapes our thoughts and decisions, often without conscious awareness. From social media trends to consumer behavior patterns, herd mentality affects how we think and act. But are we truly independent thinkers, or are we simply following the crowd
Herd mentality has evolutionary roots. For early humans, survival depended on group cohesion (凝聚力).
Those who stayed with the tribe enjoyed protection and access to resources, while loners faced threats alone. Over generations, this adaptive behavior became a natural part of life. Today, although the physical dangers of being alone have decreased, the psychological pull of the group remains powerful.
Human beings are naturally social creatures, driven by a fundamental need for acceptance and a sense of belonging. Our identities are often tied to the groups we belong to, and the fear of rejection drives us to conform, even at the cost of our personal beliefs. This group pressure is strengthened by cognitive biases ( 认知偏见) that twist judgment. The herd mentality leads individuals to trust the majority opinion without critically evaluating it, while repeated exposure to the same information can make it seem more believable. Social media intensifies these biases by promoting popular content over truth, creating echo chambers that support existing beliefs rather than challenge them.
In certain circumstances, herd mentality can have positive effects, particularly in situations where individuals have limited information or expertise. Following the majority can lead to better outcomes, as the collective knowledge of the group surpasses that of any single person. However, excessive herd mentality poses risks, including suppressing independent thought, harming creativity, and facilitating the spread of misinformation. Therefore, developing critical thinking — questioning assumptions, evaluating sources, and exploring diverse perspectives — is essential for both personal independence and collective progress.
Which behavior best demonstrates herd mentality A．Supporting group opinions to fit in with others. B．Improving a solution with individual creativity. C．Selecting a career based on family expectations. D．Accepting expert advice in complicated situations.
Why did early humans develop herd mentality
To enhance their social status.
To meet their emotional needs.
To strengthen their hunting skills.
To increase their chances of survival.
What is paragraph 3 mainly about
The link between group pressure and self-identity.
The effect of herd mentality on human minds.
The factors contributing to herd mentality.
The role of social media in shaping personal beliefs.
Which statement will the author probably agree with
Herd mentality is inevitable in highly connected societies.
It is important to maintain critical thinking in a trend-following society. C．Misinformation can lead individuals to rely on collective opinions.
D．True independence is achieved by rejecting diverse perspectives.
D
Forget to bring your charger What if your clothing could generate electricity from the heat your body naturally produces This futuristic concept is becoming a reality.
Scientists at Chalmers University and Link ping University in Sweden have developed a new yarn (纱线) that can generate electricity from body heat, using a polymer coating (聚合物涂层) applied to ordinary silk yarn. The principle is the thermoelectric effect ( 热电效应), where temperature differences between the human body and its surrounding environment create electrical energy. As the human body produces constant heat, the warmer side of the thermoelectric material transfers electrons to the colder side, generating an electrical current.
"The polymers that we use are bendable, lightweight and easy to use in both liquid and solid form. They are also harmless," says study first author Mariavittoria Craighero. Unlike previous attempts at creating thermoelectric textiles, this breakthrough solves a long-standing problem: the lack of air-stable polymers.
"The new type of polymer has outstanding performance stability in contact with air while at the same time having a very good ability to conduct electricity. By using polymers, we don't need any rare earth metals, which are common in electronics," explains Craighero.
The new thermoelectric yarn could power sensors in clothing to monitor vital signs like heart rate and body temperature without needing battery changes or recharging. Beyond healthcare, it could enable lowpower functions in smart clothing, such as environmental sensing and location tracking. As power conversion efficiency improves, more power-demanding features can be supported.
While the new polymers mark a major step forward in thermoelectric textiles, it's important to note that the temperature differences in lab tests are much higher than those typically experienced in everyday clothing. As a result, real-world performance may be lower. Moreover, the yarn generates only 0.67 microwatts at a 70-degree temperature difference, which is far too little to charge devices like smartphones. The manufacturing process is also time-consuming, requiring four days of manual work to create one piece, making it impractical for large-scale commercial production.
How does the new approach generate electricity
By recycling the flow of air.
By absorbing the energy of sunlight.
By heating the surrounding environment.
By making use of temperature differences.
What advantage do the new polymers have over previous materials
Lower costs. B．Greater safety. C．Higher stability. D ． Less weight.
What can we learn about the new yarn from paragraph 4
It needs to be charged regularly.
It has broad application prospects.
It is designed for medical treatment.
It will be launched into the market soon.
What is the last paragraph mainly about
The limitations of putting the polymers into practical use.
The standard of producing the new textile.
The potential of the polymers in powering devices.
The follow-up test plan of scientists.

My friend Clara and I were excited to join our school’s nature exploration camp last weekend. It was the first time we had ever taken part in such an outdoor adventure, and we couldn’t wait to explore the national park. Early Saturday morning, after a short safety briefing from our instructor Mr. Turner, we set off on the hiking trail ( 小径) with our backpacks, water bottles, and maps. Everyone was full of energy and excitement.
The sun was shining, birds were singing, and the light wind made the air feel fresh and clean. As we walked along the narrow dirt path, we chatted happily and took photos of wildflowers, butterflies, and even a deer in the distance. After two hours of hiking, we reached a hilltop that
offered a breathtaking view of the green valley below. We sat on a big rock, ate some snacks, and laughed as we shared our favorite parts of the trip so far.
Then Clara pointed to a spot on the map. “There’s a waterfall nearby,” she said. “Let’s go to find it!” I agreed, and we decided to explore a little deeper into the woods. We told Mr. Turner and he reminded us not to go too far. The deeper we walked, the quieter it became. The tall trees blocked out most of the sunlight, and the path beneath our feet became slippery (滑的) with leaves and moss.
About half an hour later, we heard the sound of rushing water and quickened our pace (步伐)， excited to finally see the waterfall. But just as we thought we were close, the sky suddenly darkened. The wind picked up, and the thunder rolled in the distance. I looked at Clara, and for the first time that day, I saw worry on her face. We had no umbrellas and were far from the main trail. We hesitated, unsure whether to turn back or move forward.
