In Tallahassee, Florida, there’s a high school science teacher named Yennifer Castillo, who reshapes not just classrooms but college students’ future.
For Castillo, teaching is to make a dream come true. She devotes herself to decorating her classroom each summer, inspired by the teachers she had when growing up. She documents her beautifully handmade classroom decorations based on favorite childhood shows and movies such as Lilo & Stitch and posts videos on social media, making herself a hit. She believes in the power of applying social media to inspiring others.
However, it is far from easy. She says it typically takes the entire summer to prepare, and she spends between $300 and $400 each school year. But it’s totally worth it, as she adds, to make her students welcome and comfortable and know someone takes the time to invite them in.
Castillo is also making a lasting impact beyond her school walls, with her masterpiece Annual College Essentials Basket Giveaway. Since 2018, she has collected and donated baskets filled with necessities like sheets, comforters, and school supplies to first-year college students. “I started this giveaway because I know firsthand how tough it can be to start college without the basics.” Castillo says, drawing from her own story. Her mission is clear: to reduce financial burdens and remind them they’re never alone. This year, she’s invited the world to join her through a GoFundMe campaign, expanding the ripple (连锁反应) of kindness.
As Castillo puts it, “It doesn’t matter how far you go in life. You can always give back to your community. If everyone does just one act of kindness, the world will be a better place.”
24．What makes Castillo popular on social media
A．Making donations to students. B．Posting comments on movies.
C．Sharing her decoration videos. D．Displaying her growth stories.
25．What does Castillo think of her decorations in the classroom
A．Showy but thoughtful. B．Self-created and low-cost.
C．Traditional and invaluable. D．Time-consuming but rewarding.
26．Why did Castillo start the Annual College Essentials Basket Giveaway
A．To achieve her childhood dream. B．To seek more aid for her project.
C．To back college freshmen in need. D．To broaden social media influence.
27．What can we learn from Castillo
A．Still waters run deep. B．No act of kindness is ever wasted.
C．Wealth makes charity. D．No way is impossible to courage.
Researchers from Penn State University believe they have developed a flexible, sticker-like wearable device able to understand even the most advanced poker face (扑克脸), according to the finding published last month in the journal Nano Letters. The wearable device analyzes the tiny changes in physical responses to predict how a person is feeling.
The researchers set out to create a “multi-modal sensing” device that collected several physical signals at the same time without interference (干扰). To do that, the team designed the small, sticker-like device made from thin layers of flexible metals, folded and cut into wave-like shapes. Its flexible structure allows it to continue collecting real-time data even when bent, stretched, or pulled. A rechargeable battery powers the device.
Once placed on the skin, the sensors check for changes in skin temperature, heart rate, humidity (as expressed through sweat), and blood oxygen levels. Each of these signals can be linked to emotions. While each signal alone gives limited information, the researchers say measuring them all together in real time gives a much clearer picture of how a person feels. This stream of data is changed into digital signals and sent to a phone or a computer. Then, a special computer program analyzes the data to guess what emotion the person is experiencing.
In an experiment with eight volunteers, people watched a series of videos that caused feelings while wearing the sticker. They were instructed to make facial expressions for emotions like happiness, fear, sadness, and anger. The device matched these expressions with 92.28% accuracy (精准性). More importantly, it also found the emotional responses with 88.83% accuracy when people watched the videos with no expressions on their faces.
Though the sticker is still in the testing stages, researchers believe it could one day be a particularly useful tool to help clinicians better understand the emotional state of non-verbal patients. Early indications of mental health issues, which might otherwise go unnoticed, could be treated professionally at an early stage before those situations worsen.
28．What is a feature of the device
A．It is plastic-coated. B．It is poker-sized.
C．It is solar-powered. D．It is layer-structured.
29．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about regarding the device
A．What it changes. B．How it functions.
C．How it is developed. D．What it is used for.
30．What do we know about the experiment
A．It analyzed verbal responses. B．It included sufficient subjects.
C．It showed trustworthy results. D．It proved effective in medicine.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．A device: to analyze fitness data B．A sticker: to read hidden emotions
C．A model: to replace human doctors D．A sensor: to track facial expressions
Artificial intelligence (AI) is putting itself into our daily lives, from the moment we unlock our phones with facial recognition to the recommendations that guide our music playlists or online shopping. Understanding how this powerful technology will change our daily activities and experiences is significant. But that isn’t the whole picture. We also need to pay close attention to how we build and shape AI itself, and what that process shows us about ourselves.
Every AI system we create functions as a mirror, clearly reflecting our values and views. Consider hiring algorithms (算法). In 2018, a large USA firm gave up an AI-powered hiring tool after discovering it was one-sided against female applicants. The AI wasn’t programmed to differentiate, but it was trained on historical hiring data that favored men, and it learned to reproduce these models. The use of AI systems in the police area, healthcare, and education reveals similar patterns. In all these cases, AI isn’t creating new unfair opinions. Instead, it is reflecting existing ones.
As long as AI is trained on human data, it will reflect human behavior. That means we have to think carefully about the traces of ourselves we leave in the world. I may claim to value privacy, but if I give it up in a heartbeat to access a website, the algorithms may make a very different judgement of what I really want and what is good for me. If I claim to want meaningful human connections yet spend more time on social media and less time in the physical company of my friends, I am training AI models about the true nature of humanity. AI not only reveals problems within the systems, but also clearly shows people’s inner struggles. As AI grows stronger, we must try harder to make sure our actions follow our principles.
As we continue to integrate (融合) AI into our lives, we must recognize that these systems don’t just predict our behavior; they reflect our character. Reflecting on that reflection allows us to make better, more principled choices, but only if we’re willing to look closely and take responsibility for what we see.
32．What does “the whole picture” mean in Paragraph 1
A．The process of building and shaping AI. B．The takeover of AI in our everyday life.
C．The dilemma of AI in decision-making. D．The interplay between AI and humans.
33．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning hiring algorithms
A．To support an argument. B．To state a phenomenon.
C．To showcase a practice. D．To oppose an opinion.
34．What does the author advise us to do
A．Hide emotional struggles. B．Delete historical database.
C．Suit the action to the word. D．Avoid AI in sensitive areas.
35．What does the underlined part “that reflection” in the last paragraph refer to
A．AI melts into our lives. B．AI mirrors our mindset.
C．We make wise choices. D．We remain responsible.
Success isn’t just about wealth and achievements. True success — deep and lasting — comes from inside. It means feeling calm, staying strong, and living with purpose. 36 To achieve this, you should practice the simple spiritual habits in your daily life.
Daily meditation(冥想) is a powerful way to start. Often, busy schedules make it easy to focus too much on the outside world. Setting aside time for meditation creates a blessed moment each day. Think of meditation as a daily check-in, a chance to pause, breathe, and reflect. 37 You can also benefit from reduced stress, a calmer mood, better focus, and a stronger ability to recover from difficulties.
Maintaining a positive mindset is equally significant. It means seeing the bright side and staying hopeful for the future. 38 This becomes especially important during your darkest moments. When things get tough, this mindset will give you the hope and courage to keep going.
Forgiveness is another necessary practice. When someone you care about hurts you, holding onto grudges (怨恨) steals your joy and blocks spiritual growth. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting what happened; it means letting go of anger. 39 By doing so, you inspire others to embrace forgiveness and also free yourself to move forward.
40 Studies show people active in groups often live longer, healthier, and happier lives. Joining community clubs provides you with support and purpose. Seeking out groups with like-minded individuals makes you feel at home. These connections promote belonging, build relationships, and create a supportive network.
A．You can reconnect to yourself.
B．It’s about building a meaningful life.
C．Thus the hate from your heart is removed.
D．Connecting with community betters your life.
E．A clear goal is key to achieving external success.
F．Optimism moves attention away from negative ideas.
G．Healthy eating and exercising improve your well-being.

My wife and I were taking a trip from Charlotte to Hot Springs for a ski time. I had an SUV that I had been driving for many years.
It was a sunny Friday midday when we made it close to our destination. Suddenly I started hearing a. heavy sound from the car, as if someone was pounding against the engine area. “Is that dirt or mud ” asked my wife. But considering we had been on the highway for 2 hours without hitting anything, I knew it had to be something wrong with my car. It only took a few seconds before I realized the noise came from under the hood (引擎盖) — something had broken loose.
We pulled over on a nearby turn and I cracked the hood open. My engine belt was absolutely torn apart. I quickly saw why: An oil leak (漏) had damaged it and left us stuck on the road.
It wasn’t 5 minutes before a gentleman named Steve stopped and offered help. He drove me to a nearby auto parts store that had a belt and back to the car so that we could get it on. Steve and I quickly got to work. Removing the torn belt was tough — it was stuck deep in the gap between the parts. After removing all the pieces, we tried to put the new belt on. We pulled and dragged, but the belt refused to fit onto the right position.
Disappointed, we accepted defeat. It was clear that we needed a professional to help us. So I called a mobile repairman. After explaining where we were, he said kindly but firmly, “Sorry, it’s Friday rush hour. I can’t get there before 6 p. m. ” My heart sank. That meant we would wait for hours on the cold mountain road and even miss our ski the next day.
注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右；

Seeing our disappointment, Steve offered a solution.

Despite long hours of practice and the busy schedule. I loved every moment of being a dancer. My family and friends always gave me their support, but I was especially inspired by other dancers and the creative process. There were also bad moments. I faced injuries and moments of self-doubt. I questioned whether I had what it took to make it but I never gave up. I worked hard and at last I became one of the most successful dancers in the country performing on stage and in music videos for top artists.

Seeing our disappointment, Steve offered a solution. He said that he lived nearby and could lend us his car, which was parked not far away. I was surprised and asked if he was sure, as I didn’t want to trouble him. He smiled and said it was no problem, adding that he could get a ride home from his friend. We thanked him repeatedly and drove his car to Hot Springs, where we had a great time preparing for the next day’s ski.
After a great ski time, I called Steve to return his car as promised. When we met, I gave him a small gift to show our thanks, which he accepted happily. He told me that helping others made him feel good, and that he hoped I would do the same for someone else. I promised I would, knowing that kindness is something we should pass on. We said goodbye, and I felt lucky to have met such a warm-hearted person.
