As predicted, the heavy snowfall was falling. Albert made his way through the snow-covered forest. The heavy snowfall had turned the familiar trail into a winter wonderland, but also made walking harder.
Suddenly, there came a sharp crack from the tree beside him, as a big branch, weighed down by snow, dropped without warning. It fell onto Albert’s legs. With his legs trapped, Albert couldn’t move. He cried in pain. Hopelessness began to grow, as nobody would show up in such bad weather. Just as disappointment began to cloud his mind, a pair of familiar glowing brown eyes showed up from the snowstorm-a wolfdog.
The wolfdog’s strong body approached Albert, its breath steaming in the cold air. With its powerful mouth, it held the heavy branch and began pulling with all its might. Snow flew as the branch moved, and Albert felt the sudden removal of pressure on his legs.
Breathing heavily, the wolfdog licked (舔) Albert’s frozen fingers with its warm tongue. Albert’s eyes welled with tears as he recognized the scars on its legs-the same wounds he had carefully bandaged when he found the injured pup in the forest.
Memories flooded back-two years ago, as a forest ranger (护林员), Albert had rescued a wolfdog caught in a trap. He had nursed it back to health before setting it free back into the wild. Now it was returning the favor when Albert needed it most.
In that moment, silent understanding passed between them. The wolfdog’s protective action explained everything: it had never forgotten the kindness that saved its life. As Albert slowly regained his strength, he realized this wasn’t just a rescue-it was a reunion of two souls(灵魂)connected by an unbreakable tie.
The wolfdog refused to leave Albert’s side, having kept Albert company ever since.
24．What directly caused Albert’s legs to be trapped
A．The hidden animal trap.
B．The showing-up of a wolfdog.
C．The unexpected heavy snowfall.
D．The breaking of a snow-covered branch.
25．How did Albert recognize the wolfdog
A．Through its unique breath.
B．Through the wounds on its legs.
C．Through its response to his whistle.
D．Through a name tag around its neck.
26．What is shown through the reunion
A．One tree can’t make a forest.
B．Time and tide wait for no man.
C．Only the fittest can survive in nature.
D．Some connections go beyond time and species.
27．What happened to the wolfdog after the rescue
A．It returned to the wild.
B．It remained with Albert.
C．It avoided all human contact.
D．It protected Albert’s company.
AI chatbots are computer programs designed to model human-like conversations with customers. These chatbots apply natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) algorithms (算法). This technology enables them to understand customers’ questions and respond properly.
One significant advantage of AI chatbots is the ability to provide 24/7 support. This endless availability is what satisfies customers the most. Cost savings are another key benefit of AI chatbots. By automating routine tasks, businesses can significantly reduce their customer support costs, which allows companies to work more effectively. Additionally, AI chatbots can offer personalized recommendations and solutions. They can be programmed to consider individual customers’ preferences and behaviors.
ManyChat is one of the AI chatbot platforms that offer great customer service solutions. A key feature of ManyChat is its ability to create custom chatbot flows based on specific user interactions. Dialogueflow, owned by Google, is another popular platform. It enables developers to build conversations for various applications. One of its standout features is support for many languages, making it ideal for businesses operating globally.
When selecting an AI chatbot platform, businesses should consider several factors. Ease of use is important; a platform should be intuitive so that non-technical customers can use it without difficulty. Customization options are also necessary, as businesses often have specific needs that require personalized solutions. Monitoring performance is important for ongoing success. Businesses should continuously track metrics (指标) like response rates. This monitoring can help identify areas for improvement and ensure that the chatbot meets customer needs effectively.
However, businesses may face challenges when operating AI chatbots. One common issue is limited context understanding. Chatbots may struggle to understand some difficult questions. To address this, achieving context understanding abilities through machine learning algorithms can improve accuracy.
As for the future of AI chatbot technology, advancements in natural language processing will enable chatbots to better understand human language. This improvement will significantly improve customer experience through more effective interactions.

Dance is a successive series of purposeful rhythmic (有节奏的) steps or body movements performed to music. Dancing engages the mind and activates several different areas of the brain and helps them talk to one another.
Dance has a positive impact on physical movement, cognition (认知), and mental well-being in people whose brains have difficulty communicating with their bodies. For example, the Parkinson’s disease often affects its patients’ walking and speech. Music can be excellent to improve more rhythmic movement. Tango, for example, involves quick stops and starts. Practicing it could build up the patients’ brain network for starting and stopping movements.
In younger individuals suffering from depression, dancing effectively lessens anxiety. Moreover, studies involving older adults have shown promising results. It is important to note that the emotional-improvement benefit of dancing is largely due to group participation that increases socialization and interaction among participants.
Because dance is so neurologically (神经学地) demanding, it helps to create new neural pathways. Long-term dance training appears to be related to transformations in brain structure, especially in regions of the brain related to movement and hearing functions. This is important as dance may overturn the misfortune related to cognitive weakening due to old age.
Dancing requires the dancer to match their movement modes to the music. Such ability has significant impact on our well-being. Besides, interaction between dancers is an important aspect of dancing. In partner dances, interaction occurs both within the couple and between couples on the dance floor. In group dances, strong interaction occurs between all members of the group dancing together.
Dance is also beneficial for increasing self-trust, self-respect, and self-expression in teenagers. Those of them who engage in dance at school show greater socialization skills and better thinking compared with individuals who do not participate in dance. Dance participation also provides physical and mental well-being. It is shown that dance is a possible replacement of traditional physical activity.
32．How does dance affect Parkinson’s patients
A．By curing speech disorders effectively.
B．By replacing medical treatment completely.
C．By helping patients communicate with others.
D．By strengthening brain networks for movement.
33．Why is group participation stressed
A．It adds to mental benefits. B．It requires less physical effort.
C．It is easier for young beginners. D．It reduces the cost of dance classes.
34．What can be learnt about dance from the text
A．Short-term dancing helps change brain structure.
B．Dance is certain to prevent participants getting old.
C．Dancing contributes to students’ learning performance.
D．Partner dances are more encouraged than group dances.
35．What is the purpose of this text
A．To indicate the power of dance.
B．To compare different dance styles.
C．To support dance as a competitive sport.
D．To criticize traditional physical activities.

38

Believe in yourself to overcome challenges
39 . Your challenges will not break you, but will make you stronger. Remind yourself that “You are a fighter, not a sufferer”. In face of difficulty, I make it my priority to yourself that “You are a fighter, not a sufferer”. In face of difficulty, I make it my priority to have times of calm and joy every day, which causes the release of beneficial hormones (荷尔蒙).
Accept negative emotions and express your feelings
No one is positive all the time. 40 . Think of your negative emotions as energy losses that need to be addressed. Feel your feelings, and express your thoughts to get past them. Find ways to control your negative emotions and not let them control you.
A．Things can always be worse
B．Look at the bright side every day
C．And I believed things would be settled
D．Having emotions is normal and natural
E．Know that you are greater than any difficulty
F．The barriers in life are meant to catch your attention

The day before his mother’s birthday, 10-year-old Liam pressed his nose against the bakery window, his breath fogging the glass. Inside, a golden cake with pink roses glowed under the lights-the same dessert his mother always admired when they passed by.
He touched the dollar bill in his pocket for the third time. It wasn’t enough for even a single cupcake. He felt depressed as he remembered his mother’s tired smile when she said, “It’s okay, sweetheart, your love is my best gift.” But Liam wanted to do more. He knew she’d been working double time at the diner lately, her hands red from washing dishes.
That dollar was all he had from selling drinks last summer, saved for this very moment. As he turned away, he felt sad. That night, Liam couldn’t fall asleep in his bed, the bakery window’s light still burned into his eyes.
At daybreak the next day, Liam got up early. He decided to earn some money. He went to one of his neighbors’ houses. He helped fix Mrs. Johnson’s broken fence and dealt with the grass in his garden. By noon, his fingers were blistered (起水泡). The elderly woman paid him five dollars-enough for a small cake. Anyway, he was glad he could buy his mother a cake, even if it might be small.
As Liam rushed to the bakery, it began to rain. He was all wet when he arrived. Mr. Alvarez, the bakery owner, asked Liam with a loving smile, “What has made you come to buy a cake in the rain, little kid Anyway, just try these fresh cookies I’ve just cooked. They are free of charge.”

67．例文
Liam thanked him and began to tell his story. Liam said, “I worked to earn money for the birthday cake my mom loves. But I think I can’t afford it, because I only earned 5 dollars.” Hearing his words, Mr. Alvarez’s face softened. “Tell me the cake your mom likes — I’ll give you a discount.” Liam pointed to a golden cake. Mr. Alvarez decorated it with pink roses. Liam pulled all his money from his pocket. “No, kid. This cake is on me. You’ve got a heart of gold. Your mother deserves the best.” Liam was moved to tears.
The moment Liam got home with the big golden cake, his mother’s tired eyes widened. “Oh, my sweet boy, it is the cake I like best! How can you afford it ” she asked. Liam pointed to the bakery’s logo on the box. “Mr. Alvarez said it’s his gift to you for raising such a good son.” His mother pulled him into a big hug, saying, “This is my happiest birthday ever. We’ll go and thank Mr. Alvarez tomorrow.” Liam was more than happy, knowing that kindness, like cake, multiplies when shared.
