In Hobart, you can see world-famed art, eat freshly caught seafood and climb a mountain all in one day. Hobart has four distinct seasons and each is uniquely beautiful. Luckily for travelers, Hobart’s weather is relatively predictable, making it easy to plan. Overall, expect cooler temperatures year-round when compared with Australia’ s other capital cities. The best time to visit Hobart is during the summer months, when the climate is warmer and the weather is more stable.
Brisbane is a city that lives up to its sunny potential with a strong focus on the outdoors. Add to this a dynamic cultural zone, plentiful wildlife and easy access to nearby attractions like the Gold Coast and Great Barrier Reef, and you’ve got a destination you can’t say no to. The benefit of Brisbane’s climate is that winter is very mild with lots of blue skies and mild temperatures.
If colourful characters and outdoor adventures are on your wish list, you’ll want to visit Darwin. Along with its wildlife and tours, you’ll find rich Aboriginal (土著的) cultures fill the city’s galleries and museums. The city’s nearness to Asia means you’ll also find strong Asian influences, especially in the energetic food scene.
Explore the best of both worlds in Perth, where soft-sand beaches and scenic parks meet a modernized city of small bars, creative restaurants and street art. The weather in Perth is very consistent all year round. Enjoy a hot, dry summer between December and February, and a mild winter between June and August. From September to November, it is the perfect time to spot whales rising out of the water along the coast.

Long Haifen, from a mountainous village in Guizhou province, is now a freshman at Huazhong Agricultural University (HZAU). Ordinary as she may seem, she represents the strong bond between her hometown and the university, as well as the transformative power of education and sympathy.
In July 2002, Xu Benyu, then a junior student at HZAU, volunteered to teach in the rural areas of Guizhou. The following year, he gave up postgraduate studies and returned there, teaching at two schools for two years, including Long’s elementary school. In 2005, HZAU established the “Benyu Volunteer Service Team”, engaging students annually to continue providing educational support.
In 2017, the 19th volunteer group, including Cao Yuanyuan and Li Zongqing, arrived at Long’s school, Weimin Elementary School, which had 174 students from kindergarten to sixth grade but only six classrooms. The school was severely understaffed. Cao had to teach four subjects while Li managed 23 classes per week. Long and her classmates cherished the opportunity to learn and worked diligently.
The volunteers not only taught knowledge to Long but also developed her personal growth. They encouraged her to deliver speeches at the school’s flag-raising ceremonies, helping to build her confidence. They also broadened her views beyond the mountains. In August 2017, Long participated in an educational trip to Beijing organized by the volunteers, which strengthened her courage to study outside the mountains and have access to better educational resources and a wider world.
Unfortunately, in 2020, her father was involved in a car accident, placing the family in financial difficulty. Hearing this, the volunteers quickly raised enough money, ensuring Long’s following education. All these efforts paid off. Long was admitted to HZAU.
Looking ahead, Long is excited to welcome college life. She hopes to give back to society and become a volunteer like her teachers and help more children plant the seeds to grow and thrive.

China is at the forefront of a transportation revolution with the rapid expansion of its robotaxi services, particularly Baidu’s Apollo Go. Since its appearance in Wuhan in 2022, Apollo Go has spread to 11 Chinese cities, completing an impressive 6 million rides. Despite the requirement for passengers to find designed pick-up and drop-off locations, the service has become a hit, largely due to its affordability, thanks to the generosity of Baidu, which currently covers around 60% of the cost of a ride.
Apollo Go currently boasts over 400 driverless cars in Wuhan, with ambitions to expand to 1,000 by the end of 2024. Most of the cars in Wuhan possess “Level Four” autonomy, allowing them to operate without human intervention in most driving scenarios, although they may struggle in complex environments like parking garages. As technology advances and costs decrease, Baidu anticipates that its robotaxis will become financially self-sustaining by the end of the year, with profits expected in 2025. This is a significant development in the taxi industry.
However, the rise of robotaxis has not been welcomed by all. Wuhan’s taxi drivers are fearing their roles will be replaced by technology. It is unclear how China’s government will deal with their worries. Local officials are actively competing to attract businesses, with Beijing recently drafting new guidelines to regulate autonomous driving, aiming to make the industry more transparent and predictable.
In contrast, the development of robotaxis in the West has faced setbacks. General Motors had to suspend operations at Cruise after an incident in San Francisco, and Tesla has delayed the launch of its robotaxi service. If Tesla is allowed to test its service in China, it may further worsen the concerns of Chinese taxi drivers.
8. What makes Apollo Go popular among riders
A. Its extremely good service.
B. Its relatively cheap service.
C. Its completely automatical control.
D. Unnecessary reservation in advance.
9. What is Baidu’s financial strategy for its robotaxi service
A. To count on official helps.
B. To charge high fares initially.
C. To cover a major part of the cost.
D. To avoid financial involvement.
10. What can be inferred about the future of robotaxis in China
A. They will be limited to developed cities.
B. They are expected to become profitable.
C. They will face significant regulatory difficulties.
D They are likely to be replaced by other vehicles.
11. Why does the author mention General Motors and Tesla
A. To make a comparison between them.
B. To introduce competitors of Apollo Go.
C. To present global situations of robotaxis.
D. To explain reasons for the unemployment.
Artificial intelligence has persuaded a lot of folks that we need to undertake a comprehensive reform of education. Now that chatbots can speedily access information and answer complex questions, why bother memorizing historical facts or quotations Shouldn’t we instead teach kids to think critically and solve problems and leave the boring duties to computers
There’s a problem with these arguments: humans require knowledge to think creatively. Outsourcing our memory and cognition (认知) to Google and AI risks making us less intelligent and more subject to false information.
In 2000. American educator E.D. Hirsch noted in his essay: The internet places information at our fingertips, but using it demands existing knowledge’ stores. This principle drove the UK’s 2014 curriculum reform empowering multiplication table mastery (乘法口诀表) by age nine — not merely for calculation skills. but to build the neural frameworks (神经框架) enabling complex reasoning. As former schools minister Nick Gibb stressed: “Google it’s effectively depends on what’s stored in long-term memory.”
“The suggestion we should outsource our memory to “free up” limited space for more creative thinking is based on a misconception — we’re likely to overestimate our intelligence, mistaking knowledge found on the internet for our own,” writes Nicholas Carr in The Shallows. “When we start using the Web as a replacement for personal memory, bypassing the inner processes of consolidation (巩固), we risk emptying our minds of their riches.”
Indeed looking stuff up on Google often results in us not being able to recall it later — either because our brains are conditioned to think we don’t need to remember it, or because the internet, mobile phones and social media distract our attention, or both. If students come to rely on machines not just to recall facts but to think for them, it might not just be memory that suffers: cognition and creativity could atrophy, too.
The solution lies not in rejecting technology, but in rebalancing its role. The UK’s knowledge-rich curriculum, despite disagreements, recognizes this truth: human intelligence advances when technology adds to rather than replaces learning.
12. What is the author’s concern about AI’s influence on education
A. Students avoid complex questions.
B. Teachers prioritize memorizing facts.
C. Students develop poor analysis and judgment.
D. Teachers ignore students' creativity.
13. What do experts consistently emphasize
A. The necessity for technology improvement.
B. The importance of knowledge storage.
C. The reduction of internet usage.
D. The replacement of complex reasoning.
14. What does the underlined word “atrophy” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Decline. B. Disappear. C. Strengthen. D. Stabilize.
15. Which of the following may the author agree
A. Limit AI to education. B. Avoid referring to AI in study.
C. Search online for solutions beforehand. D. Use technology as an assistant.

We all know that first impressions are important and that they are lasting. That’s why we work hard to make great first impressions. ___16___
First impressions might overshadow your abilities. When you are hired in an organization a set of inferences are made about you. Making inferences is human nature.

But it doesn’t have to come to that if you can unlock hidden aspects of your value. Talk about what you are reading or a project you are working on at home with coworkers and your manager when appropriate. This can demonstrate other skills you possess. Embrace (接受) new things and become knowledgeable about your company and industry. ___19___ Volunteer in your company. It is a good way to give yourself the opportunity for others to see you in a way that is outside of your defined role.

Between exams, college applications, and the endless pressure to fit in, high school already felt like a balancing act I could hardly manage. I was worried about making the right choices, meeting everyone’s expectations, and preparing myself for a future I wasn’t even sure about.
But when I saw the skating club poster in the hallway, something inside me pushed me to give it a try. I’d never skated a day in my life. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that this might be exactly what l needed—a break from the usual routine and a chance to challenge myself,
The first Saturday morning practice was rougher than I had imagined. Stepping onto the rink (溜冰场), I was met with the cold smell of ice and the smooth surface. As I put on the rental skates, my hands shook slightly. As soon as I stepped onto the ice, my legs also shook and I couldn’t keep my balance for more than a few seconds at a time. I felt every pair of eyes on me as I skated, and each time I fell, it felt louder and more embarrassing than before. My face burned as I heard laughter from somewhere behind me.
But as I struggled to regain my balance, our coach, Mrs. Lee, skated over and offered a gentle smile. “You don’t need to rush. Let’s break it down step by step,” she said, guiding me through the basics. She showed me how to keep my balance and keep my knees slightly bent. “Focus on one thing at a time,” she encouraged, I nodded, feeling slightly better, but the self-doubt still weighed heavily on me.
That night, I went home feeling discouraged but also determined. I knew I had a choice: I could quit, or I could face my embarrassment head-on. After some online research, I found a few videos explaining skating techniques. I learned about posture, weight distribution, and how to use the edges of my skates to catch the ice better. These details gave me something practical to follow, which felt encouraging.
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。
Paragraph 1:
During the next few practices, I focused on these key points.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I decided to apply what I had learned to dealing with my daily life.

Local officials are actively competing to attract businesses, with Beijing recently drafting new guidelines to regulate autonomous driving, aiming to make the industry more transparent and predictable.
In contrast, the development of robotaxis in the West has faced setbacks. General Motors had to suspend operations at Cruise after an incident in San Francisco, and Tesla has delayed the launch of its robotaxi service. If Tesla is allowed to test its service in China, it may further worsen the concerns of Chinese taxi drivers.

【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了百度的Apollo Go无人驾驶出租车服务在中国的快速发展，包括其价格优势、技术水平和扩展计划，同时提到西方无人驾驶出租车的发展遇到挫折，并探讨了中国出租车司机对技术替代的担忧。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Despite the requirement for passengers to find designed pick-up and drop-off locations, the service has become a hit, largely due to its affordability, thanks to the generosity of Baidu, which currently covers around 60% of the cost of a ride.(尽管乘客需要找到指定的上下车地点，但这项服务因其经济实惠而大受欢迎，这主要归功于百度的慷慨支持，目前百度承担了每次乘车费用的大约60%)”可知，Apollo Go受欢迎的主要原因是其服务价格相对便宜。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Despite the requirement for passengers to find designed pick-up and drop-off locations, the service has become a hit, largely due to its affordability, thanks to the generosity of Baidu, which currently covers around 60% of the cost of a ride. (尽管乘客需要找到指定的上下车地点，但这项服务因其经济实惠而大受欢迎，这主要归功于百度的慷慨支持，目前百度承担了每次乘车费用的大约60%)”可知，百度对其自动驾驶出租车服务的财务策略是承担大部分费用。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“As technology advances and costs decrease, Baidu anticipates that its robotaxis will become financially self-sustaining by the end of the year, with profits expected in 2025. (随着技术的进步和成本的降低，百度预计其机器人出租车将在今年年底实现财务自给自足，预计在2025年实现盈利)”可推知，中国的自动驾驶出租车有望实现盈利。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In contrast, the development of robotaxis in the West has faced setbacks. General Motors had to suspend operations at Cruise after an incident in San Francisco, and Tesla has delayed the launch of its robotaxi service. If Tesla is allowed to test its service in China, it may further worsen the concerns of Chinese taxi drivers. (相比之下，自动驾驶出租车在西方的发展遇到了挫折。在旧金山发生事故后，通用汽车不得不暂停Cruise的运营，特斯拉推迟了其自动驾驶出租车服务的推出。如果特斯拉被允许在中国测试其服务，可能会进一步加剧中国出租车司机的担忧)”可知，此处用通用汽车和特斯拉的自动驾驶出租车服务的推进情况，展示了这一服务在西方发展受阻。由此推知，作者提到两者是为了介绍自动驾驶出租车的全球情况。故选C项。
Artificial intelligence has persuaded a lot of folks that we need to undertake a comprehensive reform of education. Now that chatbots can speedily access information and answer complex questions, why bother memorizing historical facts or quotations Shouldn’t we instead teach kids to think critically and solve problems and leave the boring duties to computers
There’s a problem with these arguments: humans require knowledge to think creatively. Outsourcing our memory and cognition (认知) to Google and AI risks making us less intelligent and more subject to false information.
In 2000. American educator E.D. Hirsch noted in his essay: The internet places information at our fingertips, but using it demands existing knowledge’ stores. This principle drove the UK’s 2014 curriculum reform empowering multiplication table mastery (乘法口诀表) by age nine — not merely for calculation skills. but to build the neural frameworks (神经框架) enabling complex reasoning. As former schools minister Nick Gibb stressed: “Google it’s effectively depends on what’s stored in long-term memory.”
“The suggestion we should outsource our memory to “free up” limited space for more creative thinking is based on a misconception — we’re likely to overestimate our intelligence, mistaking knowledge found on the internet for our own,” writes Nicholas Carr in The Shallows. “When we start using the Web as a replacement for personal memory, bypassing the inner processes of consolidation (巩固), we risk emptying our minds of their riches.”
Indeed, looking stuff up on Google often results in us not being able to recall it later — either because our brains are conditioned to think we don’t need to remember it, or because the internet, mobile phones and social media distract our attention, or both. If students come to rely on machines not just to recall facts but to think for them, it might not just be memory that suffers: cognition and creativity could atrophy, too.
The solution lies not in rejecting technology, but in rebalancing its role. The UK’s knowledge-rich curriculum, despite disagreements, recognizes this truth: human intelligence advances when technology adds to rather than replaces learning.
12. What is the author’s concern about AI’s influence on education
A. Students avoid complex questions.
B. Teachers prioritize memorizing facts.
C. Students develop poor analysis and judgment.
D. Teachers ignore students' creativity.
13. What do experts consistently emphasize
A. The necessity for technology improvement.
B. The importance of knowledge storage.
C. The reduction of internet usage.
D. The replacement of complex reasoning.
14. What does the underlined word “atrophy” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Decline. B. Disappear. C. Strengthen. D. Stabilize.
15. Which of the following may the author agree
A. Limit AI to education. B. Avoid referring to AI in study.
C. Search online for solutions beforehand. D. Use technology as an assistant.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了人工智能对教育的影响，强调不能依赖它而忽视知识存储。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“There’s a problem with these arguments: humans require knowledge to think creatively. Outsourcing our memory and cognition (认知) to Google and AI risks making us less intelligent and more subject to false information.(这些论点有问题：人类需要知识来创造性地思考。将我们的记忆和认知外包给谷歌和人工智能，可能会让我们变得不那么聪明，更容易受到虚假信息的影响)”以及第五段的“If students come to rely on machines not just to recall facts but to think for them, it might not just be memory that suffers: cognition and creativity could atrophy, too.(如果学生开始不仅依赖机器来回忆事实，还让机器替他们思考，那么受损的可能就不只是记忆力了：认知能力和创造力也可能会衰退)”可知，作者担心人工智能会让人们变得不那么聪明，更容易受到虚假信息影响，认知能力和创造力也可能会衰退。由此可推知，学生可能会发展出较差的分析和判断能力。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“In 2000. American educator E.D. Hirsch noted in his essay: The internet places information at our fingertips, but using it demands existing knowledge’ stores.(2000年，美国教育家E.D.赫希在他的文章中指出：互联网将信息放在我们的指尖，但使用它需要现有的知识储备)”以及第四段的“When we start using the Web as a replacement for personal memory, bypassing the inner processes of consolidation (巩固), we risk emptying our minds of their riches.(当我们开始用网络取代个人记忆，绕过巩固的内在过程时，我们就有可能让我们的思想失去财富)”可知，专家们一直强调知识储备的重要性。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词前半句话“If students come to rely on machines not just to recall facts but to think for them, it might not just be memory that suffers: cognition and creativity could atrophy, too.(如果学生开始依赖机器，不仅是为了回忆事实，而是为了替他们思考，那么受影响的可能不仅仅是记忆：认知和创造力也可能atrophy)”可知，如果学生依赖机器来思考，不仅记忆会受损，认知和创造力也会受损，所以“atrophy”意思是“衰退，萎缩”。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The solution lies not in rejecting technology, but in rebalancing its role. The UK’s knowledge-rich curriculum, despite disagreements, recognizes this truth: human intelligence advances when technology adds to rather than replaces learning.(解决办法不在于拒绝技术，而在于重新平衡它的作用。英国的知识丰富的课程，尽管存在分歧，但承认了这一事实：当技术增加而不是取代学习时，人类智力就会进步)”可推知，作者认为应该重新平衡技术的作用，将技术作为学习的辅助工具，而不是取代学习。故选D。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all know that first impressions are important and that they are lasting. That’s why we work hard to make great first impressions. ___16___
First impressions might overshadow your abilities. When you are hired in an organization, a set of inferences are made about you. Making inferences is human nature. If you become known for your attention to details, you may never be seen as someone who can see the big picture. If you are the person who organizes all of the birthday celebrations, you may never be seen as management material. ___17___
First impressions can stamp you forever, often pre-determining the path of your career and how far you will be able to advance your career. These perceptions paint a picture of who people think you are. ___18___ This, in large part, is why your careers are held back, why you become frustrated, dissatisfied and even want to leave the present position.
But it doesn’t have to come to that if you can unlock hidden aspects of your value. Talk about what you are reading or a project you are working on at home with coworkers and your manager when appropriate. This can demonstrate other skills you possess. Embrace (接受) new things and become knowledgeable about your company and industry. ___19___ Volunteer in your company. It is a good way to give yourself the opportunity for others to see you in a way that is outside of your defined role.
___20___ As people get to know you better, they will recognize your diverse interests and capabilities, potentially opening new doors for career advancement.
A. Here are some useful suggestions for you.
B. Arm yourself with as much knowledge as possible.
C. Thus, you can contribute in fresh and unexpected ways.
D. It is often extremely difficult for people to change them.
E. Whatever labels, they prevent people seeing your other capacities.
F. Nevertheless, the same first impressions can block our career progress.
G. By expanding your knowledge and network, you can reshape others’ perceptions.
【答案】16. F 17. E 18. D 19. C 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了第一印象对职业生涯的影响，以及如何通过展示多样化的能力和兴趣来改变他人对自己的看法，从而推动职业发展。
【16题详解】
上文“We all know that first impressions are important and that they are lasting. That's why we work hard to make great first impressions.(我们都知道第一印象很重要且持久。这就是为什么我们努力留下好的第一印象)” 说明第一印象的重要性以及人们为留下好印象所做的努力。空处和前文构成转折关系，引出下文关于第一印象不利影响的论述。所以F项“然而，同样的第一印象可能会阻碍我们的职业发展”符合语境。故选F。
【17题详解】
上文“If you become known for your attention to details, you may never be seen as someone who can see the big picture. If you are the person who organizes all of the birthday celebrations, you may never be seen as management material.(如果你因注重细节而闻名，你可能永远不会被视为能看到大局的人。如果你是组织所有生日庆祝活动的人，你可能永远不会被视为管理人才)”通过举例说明第一印象给人带来的固定看法。空处总结上文，说明这些看法带来的负面影响。所以E项“无论是什么标签，它们都阻碍人们看到你的其他能力”符合语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
上文“First impressions can stamp you forever, often pre-determining the path of your career and how far you will be able to advance your career. These perceptions paint a picture of who people think you are.(第一印象会永远烙印在你身上，常常预先决定了你职业发展的道路以及你能在职业生涯中走多远。这些看法描绘出了人们认为你是什么样的人)”说明第一印象对职业发展的影响以及形成的看法。空处承接上文，进一步说明改变这些看法的难度。所以D项“人们要改变它们往往极其困难”符合语境，该项中的them指代前文中的“These perceptions”。故选D。
【19题详解】
上文“Embrace (接受) new things and become knowledgeable about your company and industry.(接受新事物，了解你的公司和行业)”以及下文“Volunteer in your company. It is a good way to give yourself the opportunity for others to see you in a way that is outside of your defined role.(在公司做志愿者。这是一个很好的方式，能让你有机会以超越既定角色的方式展现自己，让他人看到不一样的你)”强调要不断学习新知识。空处说明这样做的好处，并引出下文中的内容。所以C项“这样，你就可以以新鲜且意想不到的方式做出贡献” 符合语境。故选C。
【20题详解】
下文“As people get to know you better, they will recognize your diverse interests and capabilities, potentially opening new doors for career advancement.(随着人们对你有了更好的了解，他们会认识到你多样的兴趣和能力，有可能为职业发展打开新的大门)”说明人们对自己有更好了解后带来的积极影响。空处引出下文，提出改变他人看法的建议。所以G 项“通过扩展你的知识和人脉，你可以重塑他人的看法” 符合语境,适合统领全段。故选G。

Between exams, college applications, and the endless pressure to fit in, high school already felt like a balancing act I could hardly manage. I was worried about making the right choices, meeting everyone’s expectations, and preparing myself for a future I wasn’t even sure about.
But when I saw the skating club poster in the hallway, something inside me pushed me to give it a try. I’d never skated a day in my life. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that this might be exactly what l needed—a break from the usual routine and a chance to challenge myself,
The first Saturday morning practice was rougher than I had imagined. Stepping onto the rink (溜冰场), I was met with the cold smell of ice and the smooth surface. As I put on the rental skates, my hands shook slightly. As soon as I stepped onto the ice, my legs also shook and I couldn’t keep my balance for more than a few seconds at a time. I felt every pair of eyes on me as I skated, and each time I fell, it felt louder and more embarrassing than before. My face burned as I heard laughter from somewhere behind me.
But as I struggled to regain my balance, our coach, Mrs. Lee, skated over and offered a gentle smile. “You don’t need to rush. Let’s break it down step by step,” she said, guiding me through the basics. She showed me how to keep my balance and keep my knees slightly bent. “Focus on one thing at a time,” she encouraged, I nodded, feeling slightly better, but the self-doubt still weighed heavily on me.
That night, I went home feeling discouraged but also determined. I knew I had a choice: I could quit, or I could face my embarrassment head-on. After some online research, I found a few videos explaining skating techniques. I learned about posture, weight distribution, and how to use the edges of my skates to catch the ice better. These details gave me something practical to follow, which felt encouraging.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
During the next few practices, I focused on these key points. Keeping my knees bent and weight centered, I practiced gliding slowly across the rink. Each fall became a lesson rather than a failure. One afternoon, I managed three full laps without stumbling. Mrs. Lee nodded approvingly, “Progress!” But when attempting my first spin, I lost balance and crashed into the boards. Pain shot through my elbow, yet to my surprise, laughter bubbled up— maybe falling wasn’t failure, but part of flying. I wiped the ice off my sleeves and tried again, this time shifting my weight cautiously. By the fifth attempt, I wobbled but stayed upright.
Paragraph 2:
I decided to apply what I had learned to dealing with my daily life. Facing college applications, I broke tasks into smaller steps— researching schools one day, drafting essays the next. When anxiety crept in, I reminded myself to “bend my knees,” staying grounded. In group chats, I stopped nodding to peer opinions and shared my true thoughts, like admitting I preferred indie music over pop. Surprisingly, friends found it refreshing. Just like mastering a spin, growth required patience and falls. Now, skating isn’t just a hobby— it’s a metaphor: balance comes from embracing both control and the courage to lean into uncertainty.
