Mark Twain is one of the most celebrated authors in all of American literature. Mark Twain was widely respected during his lifetime for his sharp satire(讽刺), characteristic humor, and much-loved characters.
Twain's literary journey began with his first successful story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County (1865), a masterpiece of humor. It was not long after the publication of this story that Twain traveled to Hawaii, then known as the Sandwich Islands, to work as a reporter. His work mainly consisted of writing travel letters which were very well-received by readers. The letters focused on humor as well as the Sandwich Islands and the success of these letters became the basis for his frequent lectures. During the 1860s, lectures were a popular form of entertainment, much like going to the cinema today. Twain's lectures offered humorous accounts of his trips to places like the Sandwich Islands, Paris, Egypt, and other various locations. These lectures, beyond providing him with additional money to support future travels, also brought more attention to his written works.
In 1873, Twain's first novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today was published. It was written with his friend and neighbor Charles. While the use of humor and satire was praised in the novel, it was not considered successful due to its lack of cohesion(凝聚力)since it was written separately by the two writers. One reviewer compared it to a poorly mixed salad dressing.
Twain's next attempt at a novel was much more successful. Published in 1876, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the most successful works of children's literature in history. Praised for its humor and description of life in Missouri along the Mississippi River, the novel is still in print today and has been adapted into television shows, films, stage plays, and even video games.
4．Which work marked the beginning of Twain's writing career
A．The Million Pound Bank Note. B．The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
C．The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today. D．The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.
5．What was one of the key topics in Twain's travel letters during the 1860s
A．Popular lectures. B．Historical accounts.
C．The Sandwich Islands. D．The Mississippi River.
6．What can be learned from paragraph 3 about Twain's first novel
A．It was co-written. B．It was successful.
C．It was for children. D．It was adapted into games.
7．What is a shared element in Twain's works mentioned in this text
A．War. B．Humor. C．Love. D．Money.
One of the most important impacts of AI is in the field of education, where tools like ChatGPT have already begun to change how students learn and teachers teach. But as AI develops, a new player is entering the scene: DeepSeek.
DeepSeek is not just another AI tool — it’s an intelligent all-round platform designed to address the unique needs of the education field. One of the biggest challenges in education is meeting the diverse learning needs of students. DeepSeek can analyze individual learning patterns and adapt contents accordingly. For example, if a student struggles with math, DeepSeek can provide personalized exercises and explanations to help them master the concepts. This level of personalization goes beyond what ChatGPT currently offers, making DeepSeek a powerful tool for differentiated instruction.
To understand how DeepSeek’s personalization works in practice, consider a real-world example from a high school in California, which uses DeepSeek to address the diverse learning needs of its students. By analyzing performance data, DeepSeek identifies that about 30% of students are struggling with physics. It then provides personalized exercises and video lessons to help these students catch up. Within a few months, the school sees a 20% improvement in physics test scores.
Rather than viewing DeepSeek and ChatGPT as competitors, it’s more reasonable to see them as complementary (互补的) tools. ChatGPT can handle general tasks like answering questions or producing contents, while DeepSeek focuses on specialized educational applications. Together, they can create an all-round AI-powered learning ecosystem.
As we look to the future, one thing is clear: AI tools like DeepSeek and ChatGPT are not just improving education — they’re reshaping it. Whether you’re a student, teacher, or institution, now is the time to embrace these technologies and unlock their full potential (潜能).
8．What is the advantage of DeepSeek over ChatGPT in education
A．It responds more quickly.
B．It provides entertainment content.
C．It focuses on personalized and adaptive learning.
D．It has a larger database of educational resources.
9．How is paragraph 3 developed
A．By listing. B．By giving an example.
C．By classification. D．By making an explanation.
10．What may be the author’ attitude towards DeepSeek and ChatGPT
A．The author likes DeepSeek better. B．The author considers them competitors.
C．The author is doubtful about both tools. D．The author thinks they can make up for each other.
11．What does the underlined word “embrace” probably mean
A．Accept. B．Control C．Teach. D．Improve.
Even their greatest fans — wildlife scientists — were left in the dark about the population of Northern Saw-whet Owls (猫头鹰) in one state in the middle of their range. Concerned that the Saw-whet population was decreasing and might require legal protection, scientists sought to get an exact count of the small owls.
The results were shocking, as the researchers discovered that the owls were not endangered at all. Instead, the Saw-whet’s lifestyle — completely nighttime, staying mostly quiet, and living high in the forest away from human populations — allowed them to remain undetected. In fact, they were probably the most common small hunters in the forests of that state.
There are around 250 species of owls worldwide, and they vary widely in habitat and size. Owls can be found on every continent except Antarctica, living in a wide variety of habitats, ranging from Snowy Owls in the Arctic to Desert Owls in the Middle East. The largest owl is the Blakiston’s Fish Owl of eastern Asia, which weighs about 10 pounds. The smallest is the 39.7-gram Elf Owl of the southwestern United States, a bird that would fit comfortably in your hand.
Owls are tough, highly adapted birds with diverse diets. Some are specialists, eating only fish, or others only insects. But most are generalists, eating a wide variety of other small animals. And they are huge hunters: a Barn Owl with a family of six babies to feed will catch around 1,000 small animals in a three-month period.
With their secretive nature, owls are difficult to study. In recent years, modern and some not-so-modern technologies are being put to use. Small GPS satellite transmitters (发射机) are now being placed on netted individuals to track their flights. Other researchers have placed hundreds of microphones in remote forest areas to locate owl nests. Others are locating nests by training dogs to smell owl waste. With clearer locations, it would be easier to carry out research and protection for them.
12．What made the research result of Northern Saw-whet Owls surprising
A．Their small size. B．Their quiet habitat.
C．Their unique lifestyle. D．Their factual population.
13．What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss about owls
A．The diversity. B．The diets.
C．The weight. D．The names.
14．Why is the Bam Owl mentioned in paragraph 4
A．To show owls love their kids. B．To conclude owls live a hard life.
C．To prove owls can be tough hunters. D．To indicate owls are picky about food.
15．Which section of a magazine may this passage be taken from
A．Novel ideas. B．Scientific Findings.
C．History Facts. D．Modern Technology.
Music Education and Its Impact on Students’ Learning
Music education can greatly help students learn. Research from the University of California shows that students with musical training score about 20% higher in language and math tests. It is not just an art form but a powerful educational tool. 16 Here are some of the key way it impacts students’ academic and thinking abilities.
Language Skill Development
Learning songs like You Are My Sunshine exposes students to vocabulary beyond textbooks. Words like “sunshine” and “dear” are naturally acquired through repetitive melodies, which strengthen pronunciation and grammar awareness. 17 For example, Some pop songs introduce modern slang (俚语) like “self-made” and “daydream”, while classical lyrics (歌词) teach formal expressions. This linguistic diversity strengthens communication abilities.
Memory Improvement
18 Have you ever suddenly recalled forgotten songs from childhood Scientists call this the “melodic memory effect”. Catchy melodies (旋律) activate the brain’s hippocampus — the key memory center. Educational songs like the ABC song use beats to make facts unforgettable. When preparing performances, students memorize rhythms and volume changes — skill transferable to studying history or math.
Mental Power Increase
Music works both sides of the brain. 19 When you play the piano, for example, the left brain works on reading musical notes (logic), while the right brain focuses on expressing emotions (creativity). Additionally, reading music trains pattern recognition — a skill used in solving math problems. Group performances also teach teamwork and quick thinking.
In conclusion, music education plays a vital role in learning. It supports academic growth and thinking skills. 20
A．But how exactly does it improve learning
B．Group singing reduces classroom participation.
C．It provides rich language input through varied songs.
D．A common experience reveals music’s memory power.
E．Music theory classes improve mathematical reasoning.
F．Brain research shows it uses the entire brain effectively.
G．Such a combined method makes learning effective and enjoyable.

52．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语和结束语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Shy as I was, I’d always been terrified of speaking English in public. Countless times. I had practiced perfect English conversations in my mind, but when it came to the real thing, I would freeze and couldn’t say anything. I would be afraid of messing up the grammar and even worried that my classmates would laugh at my strong native language accent, though it never happened. I admired my classmates who could chat fluently with native speakers, but I felt trapped by my own self-doubt. My hands would get sweaty, and my voice would tremble (颤抖) whenever my teacher called on me in class.
One sunny afternoon, I was looking through books in a local bookstore. Golden sunlight shone through the bookstore’s large windows with warm light over the rows of bookshelves. It was quiet with not many customers. The soft low sound of customers turning through pages and the slight smell of freshly printed paper filled the air. While searching for an illustrated book in front of the bookshelf, I heard a tense conversation at the checkout counter. A foreign customer stood there, holding a piece of paper covered in messy Chinese characters. He was trying to explain something to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper seemed not to understand a word. She stared back in total confusion, with a polite yet helpless smile on her face. The customer’s face turned red with annoyance, while the shopkeeper just shook her head, clearly lost.
My heart raced as I realized they were speaking English. Every part of me wanted to run, but my feet felt glued to the floor. A storm of thoughts took over my mind: “What if I can’t even understand them ” I stood frozen, trapped in a mental fight between fear and the desire to help.

Hello! everyone,
After reading Mother of Ten Thousand Babies, I deeply admire Lin Qiaozhi. Her outstanding contributions and noble character impressed me greatly. She contributed her life to women’s and children’s health. What makes her truly remarkable is not only her professional excellence but also her unwavering determination. Despite facing difficulties, she never gave up. Instead, she offered free medical help to the poor, showing great kindness and selflessness.
Lin Qiaozhi’s story inspires me a lot. Her determination to overcome difficulties reminds me that we should never give up on our dreams. Her spirit of helping others teaches me that true value lies in making contributions to society. In the future, I’ll work hard and try to be as helpful and caring as her.
Thank you.

After what felt like ages, I took a deep breath and approached them. “Excuse me. May I help ” my voice was barely above a whisper. The customer’s face lit up with relief. “Oh, thank goodness! I’m looking for this book, but I can’t seem to make the shopkeeper understand,” he said, showing me the paper. As I translated his request for a rare travel guide about local ancient towns, my previous nervousness started to melt away. The shopkeeper rushed to the back room and searched through piles of books. When the shopkeeper finally found the right volume, the customer thanked me sincerely.
That day, I discovered that stepping out of my comfort zone wasn’t so scary as I’d imagined. (结尾句)

Mark Twain is one of the most celebrated authors in all of American literature. Mark Twain was widely respected during his lifetime for his sharp satire(讽刺), characteristic humor, and much-loved characters.
Twain's literary journey began with his first successful story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County (1865), a masterpiece of humor. It was not long after the publication of this story that Twain traveled to Hawaii, then known as the Sandwich Islands, to work as a reporter. His work mainly consisted of writing travel letters which were very well-received by readers. The letters focused on humor as well as the Sandwich Islands and the success of these letters became the basis for his frequent lectures. During the 1860s, lectures were a popular form of entertainment, much like going to the cinema today. Twain's lectures offered humorous accounts of his trips to places like the Sandwich Islands, Paris, Egypt, and other various locations. These lectures, beyond providing him with additional money to support future travels, also brought more attention to his written works.
In 1873, Twain's first novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today was published. It was written with his friend and neighbor Charles. While the use of humor and satire was praised in the novel, it was not considered successful due to its lack of cohesion(凝聚力)since it was written separately by the two writers. One reviewer compared it to a poorly mixed salad dressing.
Twain's next attempt at a novel was much more successful. Published in 1876, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the most successful works of children's literature in history. Praised for its humor and description of life in Missouri along the Mississippi River, the novel is still in print today and has been adapted into television shows, films, stage plays, and even video games.
4．Which work marked the beginning of Twain's writing career
A．The Million Pound Bank Note. B．The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
C．The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today. D．The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.
5．What was one of the key topics in Twain's travel letters during the 1860s
A．Popular lectures. B．Historical accounts.
C．The Sandwich Islands. D．The Mississippi River.
6．What can be learned from paragraph 3 about Twain's first novel
A．It was co-written. B．It was successful.
C．It was for children. D．It was adapted into games.
7．What is a shared element in Twain's works mentioned in this text
A．War. B．Humor. C．Love. D．Money.
One of the most important impacts of AI is in the field of education, where tools like ChatGPT have already begun to change how students learn and teachers teach. But as AI develops, a new player is entering the scene: DeepSeek.
DeepSeek is not just another AI tool — it’s an intelligent all-round platform designed to address the unique needs of the education field. One of the biggest challenges in education is meeting the diverse learning needs of students. DeepSeek can analyze individual learning patterns and adapt contents accordingly. For example, if a student struggles with math, DeepSeek can provide personalized exercises and explanations to help them master the concepts. This level of personalization goes beyond what ChatGPT currently offers, making DeepSeek a powerful tool for differentiated instruction.
To understand how DeepSeek’s personalization works in practice, consider a real-world example from a high school in California, which uses DeepSeek to address the diverse learning needs of its students. By analyzing performance data, DeepSeek identifies that about 30% of students are struggling with physics. It then provides personalized exercises and video lessons to help these students catch up. Within a few months, the school sees a 20% improvement in physics test scores.
Rather than viewing DeepSeek and ChatGPT as competitors, it’s more reasonable to see them as complementary (互补的) tools. ChatGPT can handle general tasks like answering questions or producing contents, while DeepSeek focuses on specialized educational applications. Together, they can create an all-round AI-powered learning ecosystem.
As we look to the future, one thing is clear: AI tools like DeepSeek and ChatGPT are not just improving education — they’re reshaping it. Whether you’re a student, teacher, or institution, now is the time to embrace these technologies and unlock their full potential (潜能).
8．What is the advantage of DeepSeek over ChatGPT in education
A．It responds more quickly.
B．It provides entertainment content.
C．It focuses on personalized and adaptive learning.
D．It has a larger database of educational resources.
9．How is paragraph 3 developed
A．By listing. B．By giving an example.
C．By classification. D．By making an explanation.
10．What may be the author’ attitude towards DeepSeek and ChatGPT
A．The author likes DeepSeek better. B．The author considers them competitors.
C．The author is doubtful about both tools. D．The author thinks they can make up for each other.
11．What does the underlined word “embrace” probably mean
A．Accept. B．Control C．Teach. D．Improve.
Even their greatest fans — wildlife scientists — were left in the dark about the population of Northern Saw-whet Owls (猫头鹰) in one state in the middle of their range. Concerned that the Saw-whet population was decreasing and might require legal protection, scientists sought to get an exact count of the small owls.
The results were shocking, as the researchers discovered that the owls were not endangered at all. Instead, the Saw-whet’s lifestyle — completely nighttime, staying mostly quiet, and living high in the forest away from human populations — allowed them to remain undetected. In fact, they were probably the most common small hunters in the forests of that state.
There are around 250 species of owls worldwide, and they vary widely in habitat and size. Owls can be found on every continent except Antarctica, living in a wide variety of habitats, ranging from Snowy Owls in the Arctic to Desert Owls in the Middle East. The largest owl is the Blakiston’s Fish Owl of eastern Asia, which weighs about 10 pounds. The smallest is the 39.7-gram Elf Owl of the southwestern United States, a bird that would fit comfortably in your hand.
Owls are tough, highly adapted birds with diverse diets. Some are specialists, eating only fish, or others only insects. But most are generalists, eating a wide variety of other small animals. And they are huge hunters: a Barn Owl with a family of six babies to feed will catch around 1,000 small animals in a three-month period.
With their secretive nature, owls are difficult to study. In recent years, modern and some not-so-modern technologies are being put to use. Small GPS satellite transmitters (发射机) are now being placed on netted individuals to track their flights. Other researchers have placed hundreds of microphones in remote forest areas to locate owl nests. Others are locating nests by training dogs to smell owl waste. With clearer locations, it would be easier to carry out research and protection for them.
12．What made the research result of Northern Saw-whet Owls surprising
A．Their small size. B．Their quiet habitat.
C．Their unique lifestyle. D．Their factual population.
13．What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss about owls
A．The diversity. B．The diets.
C．The weight. D．The names.
14．Why is the Bam Owl mentioned in paragraph 4
A．To show owls love their kids. B．To conclude owls live a hard life.
C．To prove owls can be tough hunters. D．To indicate owls are picky about food.
15．Which section of a magazine may this passage be taken from
A．Novel ideas. B．Scientific Findings.
C．History Facts. D．Modern Technology.
Music Education and Its Impact on Students’ Learning
Music education can greatly help students learn. Research from the University of California shows that students with musical training score about 20% higher in language and math tests. It is not just an art form but a powerful educational tool. 16 Here are some of the key way it impacts students’ academic and thinking abilities.
Language Skill Development
Learning songs like You Are My Sunshine exposes students to vocabulary beyond textbooks. Words like “sunshine” and “dear” are naturally acquired through repetitive melodies, which strengthen pronunciation and grammar awareness. 17 For example, Some pop songs introduce modern slang (俚语) like “self-made” and “daydream”, while classical lyrics (歌词) teach formal expressions. This linguistic diversity strengthens communication abilities.
Memory Improvement
18 Have you ever suddenly recalled forgotten songs from childhood Scientists call this the “melodic memory effect”. Catchy melodies (旋律) activate the brain’s hippocampus — the key memory center. Educational songs like the ABC song use beats to make facts unforgettable. When preparing performances, students memorize rhythms and volume changes — skill transferable to studying history or math.
Mental Power Increase
Music works both sides of the brain. 19 When you play the piano, for example, the left brain works on reading musical notes (logic), while the right brain focuses on expressing emotions (creativity). Additionally, reading music trains pattern recognition — a skill used in solving math problems. Group performances also teach teamwork and quick thinking.
In conclusion, music education plays a vital role in learning. It supports academic growth and thinking skills. 20
A．But how exactly does it improve learning
B．Group singing reduces classroom participation.
C．It provides rich language input through varied songs.
D．A common experience reveals music’s memory power.
E．Music theory classes improve mathematical reasoning.
F．Brain research shows it uses the entire brain effectively.
G．Such a combined method makes learning effective and enjoyable.

Shy as I was, I’d always been terrified of speaking English in public. Countless times. I had practiced perfect English conversations in my mind, but when it came to the real thing, I would freeze and couldn’t say anything. I would be afraid of messing up the grammar and even worried that my classmates would laugh at my strong native language accent, though it never happened. I admired my classmates who could chat fluently with native speakers, but I felt trapped by my own self-doubt. My hands would get sweaty, and my voice would tremble (颤抖) whenever my teacher called on me in class.
One sunny afternoon, I was looking through books in a local bookstore. Golden sunlight shone through the bookstore’s large windows with warm light over the rows of bookshelves. It was quiet with not many customers. The soft low sound of customers turning through pages and the slight smell of freshly printed paper filled the air. While searching for an illustrated book in front of the bookshelf, I heard a tense conversation at the checkout counter. A foreign customer stood there, holding a piece of paper covered in messy Chinese characters. He was trying to explain something to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper seemed not to understand a word. She stared back in total confusion, with a polite yet helpless smile on her face. The customer’s face turned red with annoyance, while the shopkeeper just shook her head, clearly lost.
My heart raced as I realized they were speaking English. Every part of me wanted to run, but my feet felt glued to the floor. A storm of thoughts took over my mind: “What if I can’t even understand them ” I stood frozen, trapped in a mental fight between fear and the desire to help.

5．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“During the 1860s, lectures were a popular form of entertainment, much like going to the cinema today. Twain's lectures offered humorous accounts of his trips to places like the Sandwich Islands, Paris, Egypt, and other various locations.(在十九世纪六十年代，演讲是一种非常受欢迎的娱乐形式，就像如今去电影院观影一样。吐温的演讲讲述了他前往诸如三明治群岛、巴黎、埃及以及其他各地的旅行，充满了幽默元素)”可知，在十九世纪六十年代期间，吐温的信中提到了三明治群岛。故选C项。

It was written with his friend and neighbor Charles. While the use of humor and satire was praised in the novel, it was not considered successful due to its lack of cohesion since it was written separately by the two writers. (1873年，吐温的第一部小说《镀金时代：今日之事》出版了。这部作品是与他的朋友兼邻居查尔斯共同创作完成的。虽然小说中运用了幽默和讽刺手法这一点受到了称赞，但由于这是由两位作者分别独立创作的，因此整体缺乏连贯性，所以这种手法并未被认为是成功的) ”以及末段中的“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the most successful works of children's literature in history. Praised for its humor and description of life in Missouri along the Mississippi River, the novel is still in print today and has been adapted into television shows, films, stage plays, and even video games.(《汤姆·索亚历险记》是历史上最成功的儿童文学作品之一。因其幽默风趣的叙述以及对密西西比河沿岸密苏里州生活的描绘而备受赞誉，这部小说至今仍在出版，并已被改编成电视节目、电影、舞台剧甚至电子游戏)”可知，文章提到的马克·吐温的三部作品的共性是humor(幽默)。故选B项。

9．推理判断题。根据第三段中“To understand how DeepSeek’s personalization works in practice, consider a real-world example from a high school in California, which uses DeepSeek to address the diverse learning needs of its students.(为了理解DeepSeek的个性化在实践中是如何运作的，考虑一个来自加利福尼亚一所高中的真实例子，该校使用DeepSeek来满足学生多样化的学习需求)”可知，第三段通过举一个加尼福尼亚一所高中的例子来展开论述。故选B。
10．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Rather than viewing DeepSeek and ChatGPT as competitors, it’s more reasonable to see them as complementary (互补的) tools.(与其将DeepSeek和ChatGPT视为竞争对手，不如将它们视为互补的工具更为合理)”可知，作者认为DeepSeek和ChatGPT可以互相弥补不足。故选D。

Instead, the Saw-whet’s lifestyle — completely nighttime, staying mostly quiet, and living high in the forest away from human populations — allowed them to remain undetected. In fact, they were probably the most common small hunters in the forests of that state. (结果令人震惊，因为研究人员发现这种猫头鹰根本没有濒临灭绝。相反，锯磨猫头鹰的生活方式——完全在夜间活动，大部分时间保持安静，生活在远离人类的森林高处——使它们得以不被发现。事实上，它们可能是该州森林中最常见的小型捕食者。)”可知，北方锯磨猫头鹰的研究结果令人惊讶的是它们实际的种群数量，并非濒危，反而很常见。故选D项。
13．主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“There are around 250 species of owls worldwide, and they vary widely in habitat and size. Owls can be found on every continent except Antarctica, living in a wide variety of habitats, ranging from Snowy Owls in the Arctic to Desert Owls in the Middle East. The largest owl is the Blakiston’s Fish Owl of eastern Asia, which weighs about 10 pounds. The smallest is the 39.7-gram Elf Owl of the southwestern United States, a bird that would fit comfortably in your hand. (全世界大约有250种猫头鹰，它们在栖息地和体型上差异很大。除了南极洲，各大洲都能找到猫头鹰，它们生活在各种各样的栖息地，从北极的雪鸮到中东的沙漠鸮。最大的猫头鹰是东亚的布拉基斯顿渔鸮，重约10磅。最小的是美国西南部的39.7克重的姬鸮，这种鸟可以舒适地放在你的手里。)”可知，第三段主要讨论了猫头鹰的多样性，包括种类、栖息地和体型等方面。故选A项。
14．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Owls are tough, highly adapted birds with diverse diets. Some are specialists, eating only fish, or others only insects. But most are generalists, eating a wide variety of other small animals. And they are huge hunters: a Barn Owl with a family of six babies to feed will catch around 1,000 small animals in a three-month period. (猫头鹰是坚韧、高度适应环境的鸟类，饮食多样。有些是专一性捕食者，只吃鱼，有些只吃昆虫。但大多数是广食性捕食者，吃各种各样的其他小动物。而且它们是出色的猎手：一只需要喂养六个幼崽的仓鸮在三个月内会捕捉大约1000只小动物。)”可知，第四段提到仓鸮是为了证明猫头鹰是强大的猎手。故选C项。
15．推理判断题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了关于北方锯磨猫头鹰的研究发现、猫头鹰的多样性以及研究它们所使用的技术等内容，这些都属于科学研究范畴，因此这篇文章可能来自杂志的“科学发现”部分。故选B项。

Hello! everyone,
After reading Mother of Ten Thousand Babies, I deeply admire Lin Qiaozhi. Her outstanding contributions and noble character impressed me greatly. She contributed her life to women’s and children’s health. What makes her truly remarkable is not only her professional excellence but also her unwavering determination. Despite facing difficulties, she never gave up. Instead, she offered free medical help to the poor, showing great kindness and selflessness.
Lin Qiaozhi’s story inspires me a lot. Her determination to overcome difficulties reminds me that we should never give up on our dreams. Her spirit of helping others teaches me that true value lies in making contributions to society. In the future, I’ll work hard and try to be as helpful and caring as her.
Thank you.
52．One possible version:
After what felt like ages, I took a deep breath and approached them. “Excuse me. May I help ” my voice was barely above a whisper. The customer’s face lit up with relief. “Oh, thank goodness! I’m looking for this book, but I can’t seem to make the shopkeeper understand,” he said, showing me the paper. As I translated his request for a rare travel guide about local ancient towns, my previous nervousness started to melt away. The shopkeeper rushed to the back room and searched through piles of books. When the shopkeeper finally found the right volume, the customer thanked me sincerely.
That day, I discovered that stepping out of my comfort zone wasn’t so scary as I’d imagined. (结尾句)
