Anne was adopted by Marilla when she was little. They lived happily together on a farm called Green Gables. Now Anne is going to a university out of town. But Marilla gets sick. . .
Anne came back and found Marilla sitting by the kitchen table. She looked tired.
“Are you OK, Marilla ”
“I saw the doctor, ” Marilla said sadly. “But it’s no good talking about it, Anne. Can you get me a cup of tea ”
“Could you tell me what the doctor said ” Anne asked softly as she brought tea to Marilla. “He said I must give up all reading, sewing, and farming, or I will go blind. ”
“Marilla, don’t think of it, ” said Anne. “There is still hope.”
“I don’t know, ” said Marilla. “I’m afraid I have to sell Green Gables. ”
Anne was surprised, “Oh, Marilla, you can’t! It’s our home!”
“What else can I do, Anne I’m sorry you won’t have a home to come to during your university holidays.” Marilla began to cry.
That night, Anne sat in the darkness, alone with her tears and heavy heart. But before long, there was a smile on her lips, and peace in her heart.

“Oh, Anne, you can’t do that for me. ”
“But I want to! Nothing is worse than giving up our home. ”
“But your dreams …”
“My dreams are the same: to be a good teacher and to help you stay healthy. Nobody loves Green Gables as we do. We must keep it. “

Have you ever found yourself trying to be overly nice to someone, even if it didn’t come naturally This often happens at work. People usually do this to avoid (避免) hurting others’ feelings or causing problems. However, it’s important to understand that being overly nice can sometimes lead to worse results.
One reason is that people who are too nice often don’t share their real thoughts and feelings. For example, when they should give honest feedback (反馈), they just say “good job” instead. Also, if someone doesn’t do well at work, being nice by not pointing out them their mistakes can make things worse. That’s because they won’t have a chance to get better. What’s more, being overly nice can also lead to more anxiety (焦虑). When you avoid talking about problems, they don’t disappear—they stay hidden (隐藏的) and build up stress and worry. For example, if your friend keeps cutting you off when you talk, being too nice might make you afraid to ask them to stop. This silence then causes stress every time you chat, and the problem never goes away.
What should we do about this First, have the courage to voice your feelings. If something troubles you, express it kindly. For example, share your thoughts in a caring way instead of staying silent. Second, give specific feedback (具体的反馈). Instead of saying “good job”, be specific. Try: “I really liked how you organized the activities in this meeting.” Specific words help others understand what they did well and what they can keep doing in the future. Third, remember that different opinions are okay. Discussing differences can make teams stronger. Being honest doesn’t mean being unkind—it means caring enough to help others grow and making sure everyone does their best.
In short, being honest and direct helps us to do better in relationships and teamwork. Sometimes, this matters more than being overly nice.

Every English learner needs to know how to ask for something in English. There are a number of ways to do this. If you know someone has something, you can ask for it with a polite question. If you don’t know, it’s possible to ask for something with a yes or no question. Be careful not to use the direct expressions. In other words, don’t say “Give me that”, but ask kindly as the following examples, “Do you have a pen I could borrow ” “Is there any wine ” or “Did you buy any bread ”
If you know or see someone has something, ask a polite question with “could”, “may” or “might”. It’s also possible to use “can” in some special situations. In the past, “can” was not used when people asked for something, but meant ability. In the UK, people mainly use “Can you lend me... ” or “Can I have... ”
It’s common to use “Could you learned / hand/ give... ” You can also use “May/ Can I borrow... ” “Can you lend me... ” “May I have... ” or “Can you hand / give me... ” Do not begin a sentence with “please”, but you can add “please” at the end of the sentence to be polite.
As an English learner, we should know how to ask for something 9 in English. If you don’t know 10 someone has the things you need or not. don’t express your requests in a 11 way. You should ask for something with a yes or no question or ask a polite question with “could”、“may” or “might”. People didn’t 12 to ask questions with “can”. And “can” just meant 13 . But now it’s common to use “Could you... ” or “Can I... ” Don’t begin a sentence with “please”. Adding it at the end of the sentence seems more polite.

How do you feel when your teacher asks you to work on a group project with other students Do you like to work together with others or work alone
The Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA, carried out a survey of students’ ability to work together in groups. They found that students who did well on tests by themselves were also likely to be better at working with other people. This finding was true for many countries. Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, where test scores were high, also did well in working together to solve problems.
But this was not the case for every country. Chinese students, who had high scores as well, displayed just average collaborative (合作) skills. “One reason might be that Chinese parents and teachers focus too much on grades,” said Zhao Zhongxin, former vice president of the Chinese Family Education Association. “Students have a lot of exam pressure and they see schools as places for competition.” “However, collaborative skills are very important for preparing students for today’s society,” he added. “Luckily, more Chinese parents and teachers are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve this skill.”
Another interesting finding from the PISA survey was that girls could be better than boys at working together. They said girls showed more positive attitudes (态度) towards relationships, which meant they were more willing to listen to others’ opinions.
PISA also found that the classroom environment could influence how well students collaborated. In classes where there are a lot of activities that require communication, such as class debates (辩论), students might have better attitudes towards collaborating.

Though its name means “Little Red Book”, there’s nothing little about Xiaohongshu. Every day, a large number of people look through its electronic pages. The app has a huge goal. Its website states: “Our duty is encouraging lives to share and discover the wonders of the world.”
Starting in 2013 as a shopping guide for expensive fashion products, Xiaohongshu mainly interested women in big Chinese cities. Now it has grown into a multi-topic application. While beauty and fashion remain popular, users also discuss travel, study methods, pet care, and more. This makes it valuable for businesses wanting to reach customers.
The app mixes shopping with social connections through “Key Opinion Consumers (消费者)” —KOC: trusted users who review products honestly. Others join review discussions, forming interest groups, while companies watch them closely. When users created the “dopamine dressing” trend (多巴胺穿搭趋势) —wearing bright colors for happiness, businesses quickly sold related things like colorful school things and pet clothes.
Beyond shopping, Xiaohongshu helps users learn new skills. Experts share knowledge through simple tutorials (辅导课) —pianists teaching basic notes, artists presenting color mixing, or dancers showing easy steps. Some people post their daily routine videos with calming music to help viewers relax. Remember, a social app shouldn’t just be for watching videos—it’s a tool for growth. You were made to be known and understood, so try using Xiaohongshu for English practice! Search teachers who speak clearly and use real-life conversations. Practice English by leaving friendly messages or asking questions. Language itself is a wonderful part of our world, and Xiaohongshu offers creative ways to explore it. By focusing on learning rather than just looking through it, you can become an active learner and make meaningful connections.

At the beginning of the 1700s, the number of tea arriving in Britain increased gradually. Black tea arrived at this time. At first, people drank this tea exactly as it was drunk in China. They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British taste.
In the 1800s, tea was still a product enjoyed only by richer people. At this time, they began to have afternoon tea. In the late 1800s, the price of tea dropped quickly as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for richer people. At the start of the 20th century, the British began to make tea in their homes whenever they felt like it. Teapot became necessary in every kitchen and tea culture was becoming more and more popular in Britain.

What will the world of tomorrow look like Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on Earth today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect. Each has advantages (优势) and disadvantages, as these three examples.
When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the sky in our own private flying car. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, if the cars become popular, there will be problems with traffic control.
3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts, and man-made body parts, such as ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will be widely used. It will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.
Finally, people are trying to build a robot suit (套装). This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy objects and walk a long way more easily. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage now is the cost.
It is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car. Although there are some problems to be solved before all of this is possible, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology will influence people’s life greatly. It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today.
In the future, new technology may solve old problems we have today. However, no technology is perfect. It may also 68 new problems. For example, we dream about having our own 69 flying car. But if the cars become popular, there will be problems with traffic control. 3D printing is another new technology for the future. By the time 3D printing is used 70 , it will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. Finally, people are trying to build a robot suit to help people to 71 heavy objects and walk again after an illness or an accident. However, the technologies are expensive. In the future world, technology will still have a great 72 on people’s life, though there are some problems to be solved.

Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. They’re popular with people all around the world. They are certainly a treasure of our country. Then how about their dung (粪便) Is it thrown away No, it is treasures, too. How
The panda keeper provides an adult panda with about 25 kilos of bamboo every day. Of that, the panda will eat about eleven kilos—the most delicious parts. Because the panda can’t digest (消化) all the bamboo completely, its dung includes much undigested bamboo. Can people make use of it It seems impossible for many people. However, someone turned it into paper successfully.
“In my opinion, it’s a great achievement,” a panda keeper says. “In the past, we didn’t think the dung was useful, so we just threw it away like rubbish. But now workers come and take the dung away. They use the dung to make paper. They also make notebooks and bookmarks. It is also good for the environment.”
However, the paper doesn’t sell well at the Panda Base. It is not popular with tourists. Most of them won’t buy it after they visit the Panda Base. “A box of paper is 43 Yuan,” They said. “That’s quite expensive.” If you see the paper at the Panda Base, will you buy it
Pandas are popular with people all over the world and they are 73 a treasure in our eyes. But do you know their dung is also treasures An adult panda only eats less than half of the 25 kilos of bamboo from its keeper a day. The panda can’t digest all the bamboo, so the panda’s dung 74 a lot of undigested bamboo. People find the dung is useful and turn it into paper. It’s also environmentally friendly. However, most 75 don’t want to buy the paper because of the high price. As a result, the paper doesn’t sell well at the Panda Base.
On a summer day in 1948, a Swiss (瑞士的) man named George de Mestral took his dog for a walk in the mountains. After they came home, George discovered that he and his dog were both covered with burrs (带芒刺的小果实).
As an engineer, George naturally began to wonder how exactly the burrs stuck to his dog and his clothes. Then he paid careful attention to looking at them under a microscope (显微镜). He found that the burrs had very tiny hooks (钩子), which allowed them to catch on to things like clothes. George realized that he could use this finding to create a new way to fasten (扣紧) things.
As so often, it is a very long journey from the first idea to the final product. It was easy to find materials that could stick together, but finding materials that would continue to do so after years of use was not easy. George tested a very large number of different materials and production methods. After years of research and work, he invented what is known today as Velcro (魔术贴). In 1955 George started Velcro Industries to turn his idea into a product. In a few years, the product became popular around the world.
Today Velcro is used everywhere. It’s used in backpacks, jackets, wallets, children’s toys, etc. It even turns up in places you wouldn’t expect. For example, Velcro has been used by NASA for astronauts’ suits. The product was also used to hold the heart together during the very first artificial heart transplant (人工心脏移植).Complete the summary of the passage above with one word for each blank.
George de Mestral was an engineer from Switzerland. One day in 1948, after coming back from the mountains, he found some burrs on his clothes and his dog. Then he 76 looked at them under a microscope. He found that tiny hooks on the burrs made the burrs catch on to things like clothes. Then George had the 77 of creating a new way to fasten things. It was hard to find 78 that could stick together after years of use. George managed to do that by 79 many different materials and production methods. Finally, he invented Velcro and made it a popular product. Now, Velcro is used everywhere, even in 80 places.

It’s reported that Kristen Tapping who graduated from London South Bank University has invented a bike wheel that can help deal with air pollution. It’s called ROLLOE.
The wheel uses fins to draw-in air as it turns. It then uses filters (过滤器) to take in polluted air and give off clean air back into the environment. The wheel can filter more air when it goes faster.
Tapping said she was encouraged to create the wheel when she was biking around London. “On streets, you always notice the pollution: the heat, the gases and the smell,” she said. She predicted (预测) that if 10 percent of cyclists in London had a ROLLOE on their bikes, they could filter about 266,865 m of air a day, although this had to be tested.
A report showed that because of air pollution, London’s health costs were the highest out of the 432 European cities. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also said that outdoor air pollution caused about 4.2 million deaths around the world each year.
Tapping wants to use the wheel on shared bike projects at first, with the aim of making the wheels available for all bikes to use. She says she would also like to create a wheel available in different sizes.

During the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, some city buses and trains have run empty, while others have been crowded.
To solve this and other problems during the pandemic, some cities are turning to programs called microtransit (微交通)—imagine Uber and a city bus had a baby to offer basic service, like moving the elder to drug stores or nurses to hospitals.
Some microtransit companies made a function called contact tracing (接触者追踪). The method makes use of smartphones. Users who fall ill report it through an app on their phones. Then it sends notices to anyone they had gotten close with.
Many countries around the world are working on contact tracing app. China has used contact tracing since February. Chinas contact tracing system lets the nation know the locations of the phones running the app. Chinese citizens also get QR codes to see if they are allowed to be in public. Gradually, the method stopped the spread of the disease. In March, Singapores government released one that uses Bluetooth transmitters in peoples phones. Australia released its own app in April.
Microtransit could still be valuable as social distancing ends and more people begin to move around cities. It is easier for people to use traditional public transit. It could also be used in areas with little public transit service and long distances between stops.
Because of COVID﹣19, there is something wrong with some cities public transportation. So they thought of a 91 to deal with the big problem. They made programs called microtransit. One of the most important function is contact tracing. If you are ill, it can give a report to the people who you contact 92 before. Many countries made full use of this app. As a result, it 93 spreading COVID﹣19 gradually. Things get easier as time goes by. Microtransit is no longer widely applied. However, it still has its own 94 to help people. If you live in the place 95 too much public transit, microtransit still works.
