第一节（共15小题；每题2.5分，满分37.5分）
A
Switzerland is not a cheap country to live in. However, the education comes at a relatively low tuition fee, especially compared to similarly top - ranked education hot spots worldwide!
In order to prepare for your study, take a look at the student budget. Please check out the exact costs in the universities you are going to apply for.
Student budget in Switzerland
Programme Duration & ECTS
Switzerland — like all other European countries — uses the “European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System” (ECTS). It is designed to award credit points according to the achievement of learning outcomes. Put in simple terms: To get a degree, you have to get all the required credit points. The ECTS credit point system allows students to have their achievements easily recognized in other European countries.
One ECTS credit point equals on average between 25 and 30 hours (workload). 60 credits are assigned to one year of full - time study.
180 credits are required for a bachelor's degree and it takes three years of full - time study. A master's degree is worth 90 — 120 credits and takes 1.5 — 2 years of full - time study.
Working While Studying
Foreign students may work a maximum of 15 hours per week during their studies, and up to 100 per cent during semester breaks. This must be reported, in all cases, to the responsible authorities and apply for a work permit. Students from outside the EU/EFTA region may only start working six months after the beginning of their studies.
21. How much will a student spend on food and accommodation each month
A. About CHF600. B. About CHF700. C. About CHF800. D. About CHF1,300.
22. What can be learned about the so - called ECTS credit points
A. They are only awarded to international students.
B. They are widely accepted in European universities.
C. 180 ECTS credits are required for a master's degree.
D. Students have to study 20 hours to get one ECTS credit.
23. What should a Chinese student do if she wants to work in Switzerland
A. Get an EU/EFTA card. B. Limit work hours to 25.
C. Apply for a work permit. D. Look for work on arrival.
B
In the scientific history, few rivalries (竞争) have captured the imagination like the one between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. These two inventors, each with their unique approaches and visions, engaged in a fierce competition that forever transformed the world of electricity and innovation.
The paths of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison first crossed in the late 1800s when Tesla arrived in the United States with his boundless enthusiasm and inventive spirit. Tesla, a young Serbian engineer, sought opportunities to work on his ambitious ideas. Edison, already an established inventor and entrepreneur, recognised Tesla's talent and employed him at his company.
It was during Tesla's time working for Edison that the seeds of rivalry were sown. Edison advocated direct current (DC) as the dominant method for electrical distribution, while Tesla saw the potential of alternating current (AC) systems, which offered greater efficiency over longer distances.
The turning point in their rivalry occurred with the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. Tesla, backed by George Westinghouse, successfully showcased the superiority of AC by lighting the fairgrounds with his AC - powered system. This success crushed Edison's claims of DC's superiority, leading to the widespread adoption of AC as the standard for electrical power transmission (传输).
However, due to Edison's influence, AC power was initially dismissed as dangerous and unreliable. In order to demonstrate its safety, Tesla held a public demonstration where he famously lit up a string of lights using his AC motor powered by Niagara Falls, proving once and for all that AC power was safe for use in homes and businesses around the world.
While both sides fought fiercely for control of electricity distribution networks across America, it was ultimately Tesla's AC system that won out due to its greater efficiency over long distances compared with DC systems which quickly lost voltage (电压) as distance increased from their source point. Eventually even Edison himself came around and accepted defeat when he finally admitted that "Tesla has solved an extremely difficult problem".
Despite their differences, the two men had an unwilling respect for each other. Edison was known to refer to Tesla as "one of the greatest electrical geniuses the world has ever seen" while Tesla praised Edison's contributions to
the field of electricity. Though their rivalry defined the development of electricity in the late 19th century, its impact still resonates (产生共鸣) today.
24. In which aspect did Tesla's and Edison's views on electrical systems differ
A. The source of electrical power. B. The invention of electrical devices.
C. The efficiency of power generation. D. The method of electrical transmission.
25. How did Tesla prove the reliability of AC power
A. By conducting a public experiment at Niagara Falls.
B. By displaying AC - powered lighting in a community.
C. By getting support from George Westinghouse.
D. By highlighting the limitations of DC power.
26. Why did Tesla's AC system finally achieve success
A. It provided higher voltage outputs.
B. It was easier to operate and maintain.
C. It had superior long - range performance.
D. It received more financial backing.
27. What message does the author want to convey in the text
A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Real knowledge comes from practice.
C. A rising tide lifts all boats. D. Rivalry fuels progress.
C
For over a century, hypodermic needles have been a standard tool in medicine. Despite advances in medical technology, the basic design of needles - a hollow, pointed tube - has remained largely unchanged. With luck, that may soon change. As Yichi Ma, a mechanical engineer at the University of California, Berkeley, and his colleagues outline in a review paper in Biomimetic Intelligence and Robotics, researchers around the world are now turning to nature for inspiration to create less painful and more effective needles.
An obvious source of ideas has been mosquitoes, which manage to extract their blood meals almost painlessly. One reason is that the insects employ some specific chemicals when they first pierce the skin. But another has to do with the shape and action of their mouth parts. Their proboscis has a serrated (锯齿状的), soft tip and vibrates as it pierces the skin, reducing the force needed. Scientists have developed needles imitating this design, which require 27% less insertion force than traditional needles. These "mosquito needles" could improve delicate procedures like biopsies (活组织检查), where precision is critical.
Another challenge is guiding long, thin needles deep into the body without
bending or breaking. Researchers studied female wasps, which use needle - like ovipositors (产卵管) to drill into wood or fruit before depositing eggs. They consist of sliding sections, similar to an extending telescope. By copying this structure with special wires, scientists created ultra - thin needles that can navigate tissues like the liver without damage, potentially reducing the need for surgery.
There are other ideas, too. One is a needle that swells at the end once inserted, inspired by a worm that attaches itself to fishes. Another is an injector that can precisely steer the flow of drugs across its surfaces. It is copied from European true bugs, a family which includes aphid and bed bugs. Some can use micro structures to steer defensive chemicals around the outsides of their bodies.
For now, such devices remain restricted to labs. But there is a big market for better needles. According to the World Health Organisation, one person in four says they suffer from a fear of needles, so the savings on stickers and sweets for the brave souls who roll up their sleeves would be considerable.
28. How do mosquito - inspired needles reduce pain
A. By being shorter and thinner.
B. By using chemicals to numb the skin.
C. By being softer than traditional needles.
D. By vibrating and requiring less insertion force.
29. What can we infer about wasp - inspired needles
A. They are mainly used for biopsies.
B. They can bend easily without breaking.
C. They may reduce the need for some surgeries.
D. They are already widely used in hospitals.
30. What is the advantage of the needle inspired by European true bugs
A. It can vibrate to reduce insertion pain.
B. It can swell after entering the body.
C. It can precisely control drug delivery.
D. It can drill into hard tissues easily.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The History of Hypodermic Needles.
B. Nature's Blueprint for Better Needles.
C. How Mosquitoes Inspire Medical Tools.
D. The WHO's Report on Needle Fear.
D
We learn about the world through the knowledge accumulated over thousands of years. Standing on the shoulders of great men, we don't have to experience endless trial and error, just as the wheels do not have to be reinvented each time to run a car. But where does our ability to learn from others come
from
A study led by Markus Paulus, professor at Loyola Marymount University, shows that the ability has its roots in earliest childhood. “It’s generally assumed that children’s ability to imitate is inborn, but according to our observation, children imitate because they themselves are imitated by caregivers. This interaction enables a cultural transfer of knowledge, which, through generations’ efforts, consequently leads to the development of human beings,” says Markus Paulus.
In this research, Paulus recorded the interaction between mother and child over several months. The babies came into the lab for the first time at the age of 6 months, while their final visit was when they were 18 months old. As they engaged in various play situations, the interactions and imitations of mother and child were analyzed. The long - term study showed that the more sensitive a mother was in her interactions with her six - month - old child and the more often she imitated the baby, the greater the child’s overall ability was at the age of 18 months.
Paulus’ research shows that mutual imitation is the keystone of knowledge transfer, through which children successfully learn various skills, such as how to use objects, waving, and acquisition of language. “This interaction is the nucleus of learning and, finally, gives rise to evolutionary success of human,” says Paulus.
“Cultural learning is an essential part of human evolution, and it is rooted in the imitation of others, particularly our caregivers during our earliest childhood,” says Paulus. “Through this, we learn from each other and pass on knowledge to the next generation, so certain actions or techniques do not have to be constantly invented again.”
32. Why does the author mention the example of wheels
A. To praise the invention of car wheels
B. To describe the process of trial and error.
C. To emphasize the necessity of new tools.
D. To show the importance of prior knowledge.
33. What can we learn about Paulus’ research
A. Children’s imitation was recorded by mothers.
B. Sensitive mothers encouraged children’s imitation.
C. Children’s ability was analyzed through interaction.
D. Effective interaction promoted children’s development.
34. What does the underlined word “nucleus” mean in paragraph 4
A. Core. B. Result. C. Aim. D. Content.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Why does Evolution Matter B. How to Interact with Children
C. Imitation: The Engine of Evolution D. Cultural Learning: The Root of Imitation

Why is it so hard to be truly honest with yourself Sometimes it's because you don't know what you want. Other times you do know what you want, but you're too afraid to admit it. 36 Quite often, the truth can be very ugly and painful, particularly if you've spent much time lying to yourself about things big and small.
37 If you can't rely on yourself because you aren't in tune with your truth, you'll end up making yourself painful. Thus, you must be honest with yourself to figure out what you want out of life so you can actually put forth the effort to build it. Here are three ideas that help you become more honest with yourself.
Take time to reflect on your day, every day. What did you do right or wrong Were there any points where you didn't act in tune with your actual feelings and desires 38 Considering how you acted throughout the day can help you sort through your feelings and actions of the day if you struggle to be honest with yourself.
Acknowledge your feelings. Your feelings are road signs on your journey to truth, peace of mind, and happiness. 39 So consider how your experiences and decisions make you feel, and understand why you feel the way you do. This will help you get in tune with yourself and make better decisions about a situation.
Accept that you can't know everything. You can't possibly know everything about everybody. Therefore, it's absolutely normal for you to do something wrong. So don't make excuses for yourself. 40
A. How will you do better
B. But why is honesty with yourself so important
C. This isn't a matter of being smart or wise enough.
D. Could you have spoken up and advocated for yourself better
E. They're trying to point you toward a path that makes sense for you.
F. You just need to be honest with yourself when you make those mistakes.
G. Maybe you just don't want to accept reality because the truth is unpleasant.

Debbie, a new waitress at George's restaurant, was hardworking, always serving customers with a smile. George was satisfied with her work. After about two months, George asked the night manager about Debbie, and the man had only good things to say about her. "She's smart, quick, and efficient, and she deals with customers better than anyone! We are searching for an assistant manager, and she seems like a good candidate. She's got great potential!"
However, one night, George caught Debbie in the act of stealing. Walking into the kitchen, he saw her putting a box carefully into her bag. "Debbie!" he called out, "Come to my office now!" He was seated behind his desk with a serious look as she entered, "Open your bag," George ordered. Debbie's face turned red, and she opened her bag to take out two plastic boxes, shaking as she placed them on the desk. George opened them to find some leftover food and a piece of cake. "You're fired," he screamed out in anger. "Right now!"
"Please," Debbie begged. "Please don't! The food was just going to be thrown away..."
"It's against the rules here," George replied firmly.
"Please," Debbie continued, "There's something you don't know..."
She said softly, "My son has leukemia(白血病), and the treatments are more than I can afford. I've been taking the leftover food home to save money for his care."
"Your son has leukemia..." George repeated. "Is this true " Debbie showed
him a photo of a young boy in a hospital bed, smiling bravely. George took a deep breath and looked at Debbie, and said more kindly, “The rules say you should be fired. I'll talk it over with the night manager. “Let's discuss this tomorrow.”

The following graph is about the job growth between 2021 and 2025 in the world.
Times change, so do jobs. As the graph shows, leading the way is the online shopping industry, where jobs increase by 32 percent between 2021 and 2025. It's not surprising since the progress of the Internet has been greatly influencing us and forever changing our lifestyles. Jobs related to environmental, conservationist, and wild life organizations run a second. That's because people have been increasingly environmentally conscious and are trying to pull their own weight for a better Earth.
Being a software engineer would be my ideal job. I'm always crazy about programming. I'd be content to know my work makes people's life more convenient.

第10段材料
Hi there. I’m Tim Tanner. I am honored to be here today. I’ve appeared on lots of TV shows with my brother Sam Tanner as the singing twin brothers. People often ask us what it’s like to be twins. Well, I was born ten minutes before Sam so I’m the older brother, although we do have a real older brother, Ken, who’s a year older than us. We were born premature — we suddenly appeared in October rather than January. Ken’s birthday is in December, so we’re pretty close in age.
Sam and I aren’t completely the same, but even our dad makes mistakes sometimes, because there’s hardly any difference in our hair, and we’re the same build. But as soon as we open our mouths, he’ll know which one it is.
In character we’re mostly similar — we’ve both always loved music, and we’ve always had a real interest in going out. However, people that know us say I’m not as confident as Sam is, which is probably true.
We are going to promote our new album Time Dance next week, which is quite different from our first one Soul Brothers. We’ve poured our hearts into it, and we’d be incredibly grateful for your support.

Switzerland is not a cheap country to live in. However, the education comes at a relatively low tuition fee, especially compared to similarly top - ranked education hot spots worldwide!
In order to prepare for your study, take a look at the student budget. Please check out the exact costs in the universities you are going to apply for.
Student budget in Switzerland
Programme Duration & ECTS
Switzerland — like all other European countries — uses the “European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System” (ECTS). It is designed to award credit points according to the achievement of learning outcomes. Put in simple terms: To get a degree, you have to get all the required credit points. The ECTS credit point system allows students to have their achievements easily recognized in other European countries.
One ECTS credit point equals on average between 25 and 30 hours (workload). 60 credits are assigned to one year of full - time study.
180 credits are required for a bachelor's degree and it takes three years of full - time study. A master's degree is worth 90 — 120 credits and takes 1.5 — 2 years of full - time study.
Working While Studying
Foreign students may work a maximum of 15 hours per week during their studies, and up to 100 per cent during semester breaks. This must be reported, in all cases, to the responsible authorities and apply for a work permit. Students from outside the EU/EFTA region may only start working six months after the beginning of their studies.
21. How much will a student spend on food and accommodation each month
A. About CHF600. B. About CHF700. C. About CHF800. D. About CHF1,300.
22. What can be learned about the so - called ECTS credit points
A. They are only awarded to international students.
B. They are widely accepted in European universities.
C. 180 ECTS credits are required for a master's degree.
D. Students have to study 20 hours to get one ECTS credit.
23. What should a Chinese student do if she wants to work in Switzerland
A. Get an EU/EFTA card. B. Limit work hours to 25.
C. Apply for a work permit. D. Look for work on arrival.
B
In the scientific history, few rivalries (竞争) have captured the imagination like the one between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. These two inventors, each with their unique approaches and visions, engaged in a fierce competition that forever transformed the world of electricity and innovation.
The paths of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison first crossed in the late 1800s when Tesla arrived in the United States with his boundless enthusiasm and inventive spirit. Tesla, a young Serbian engineer, sought opportunities to work on his ambitious ideas. Edison, already an established inventor and entrepreneur, recognised Tesla's talent and employed him at his company.
It was during Tesla's time working for Edison that the seeds of rivalry were sown. Edison advocated direct current (DC) as the dominant method for electrical distribution, while Tesla saw the potential of alternating current (AC) systems, which offered greater efficiency over longer distances.
The turning point in their rivalry occurred with the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. Tesla, backed by George Westinghouse, successfully showcased the superiority of AC by lighting the fairgrounds with his AC - powered system. This success crushed Edison's claims of DC's superiority, leading to the widespread adoption of AC as the standard for electrical power transmission (传输).
However, due to Edison's influence, AC power was initially dismissed as dangerous and unreliable. In order to demonstrate its safety, Tesla held a public demonstration where he famously lit up a string of lights using his AC motor powered by Niagara Falls, proving once and for all that AC power was safe for use in homes and businesses around the world.
While both sides fought fiercely for control of electricity distribution networks across America, it was ultimately Tesla's AC system that won out due to its greater efficiency over long distances compared with DC systems which quickly lost voltage (电压) as distance increased from their source point. Eventually even Edison himself came around and accepted defeat when he finally admitted that "Tesla has solved an extremely difficult problem".
Despite their differences, the two men had an unwilling respect for each other. Edison was known to refer to Tesla as "one of the greatest electrical geniuses the world has ever seen" while Tesla praised Edison's contributions to
the field of electricity. Though their rivalry defined the development of electricity in the late 19th century, its impact still resonates (产生共鸣) today.
24. In which aspect did Tesla's and Edison's views on electrical systems differ
A. The source of electrical power. B. The invention of electrical devices.
C. The efficiency of power generation. D. The method of electrical transmission.
25. How did Tesla prove the reliability of AC power
A. By conducting a public experiment at Niagara Falls.
B. By displaying AC - powered lighting in a community.
C. By getting support from George Westinghouse.
D. By highlighting the limitations of DC power.
26. Why did Tesla's AC system finally achieve success
A. It provided higher voltage outputs.
B. It was easier to operate and maintain.
C. It had superior long - range performance.
D. It received more financial backing.
27. What message does the author want to convey in the text
A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Real knowledge comes from practice.
C. A rising tide lifts all boats. D. Rivalry fuels progress.
C
For over a century, hypodermic needles have been a standard tool in medicine. Despite advances in medical technology, the basic design of needles - a hollow, pointed tube - has remained largely unchanged. With luck, that may soon change. As Yichi Ma, a mechanical engineer at the University of California, Berkeley, and his colleagues outline in a review paper in Biomimetic Intelligence and Robotics, researchers around the world are now turning to nature for inspiration to create less painful and more effective needles.
An obvious source of ideas has been mosquitoes, which manage to extract their blood meals almost painlessly. One reason is that the insects employ some specific chemicals when they first pierce the skin. But another has to do with the shape and action of their mouth parts. Their proboscis has a serrated (锯齿状的), soft tip and vibrates as it pierces the skin, reducing the force needed. Scientists have developed needles imitating this design, which require 27% less insertion force than traditional needles. These "mosquito needles" could improve delicate procedures like biopsies (活组织检查), where precision is critical.
Another challenge is guiding long, thin needles deep into the body without
bending or breaking. Researchers studied female wasps, which use needle - like ovipositors (产卵管) to drill into wood or fruit before depositing eggs. They consist of sliding sections, similar to an extending telescope. By copying this structure with special wires, scientists created ultra - thin needles that can navigate tissues like the liver without damage, potentially reducing the need for surgery.
There are other ideas, too. One is a needle that swells at the end once inserted, inspired by a worm that attaches itself to fishes. Another is an injector that can precisely steer the flow of drugs across its surfaces. It is copied from European true bugs, a family which includes aphid and bed bugs. Some can use micro structures to steer defensive chemicals around the outsides of their bodies.
For now, such devices remain restricted to labs. But there is a big market for better needles. According to the World Health Organisation, one person in four says they suffer from a fear of needles, so the savings on stickers and sweets for the brave souls who roll up their sleeves would be considerable.
28. How do mosquito - inspired needles reduce pain
A. By being shorter and thinner.
B. By using chemicals to numb the skin.
C. By being softer than traditional needles.
D. By vibrating and requiring less insertion force.
29. What can we infer about wasp - inspired needles
A. They are mainly used for biopsies.
B. They can bend easily without breaking.
C. They may reduce the need for some surgeries.
D. They are already widely used in hospitals.
30. What is the advantage of the needle inspired by European true bugs
A. It can vibrate to reduce insertion pain.
B. It can swell after entering the body.
C. It can precisely control drug delivery.
D. It can drill into hard tissues easily.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The History of Hypodermic Needles.
B. Nature's Blueprint for Better Needles.
C. How Mosquitoes Inspire Medical Tools.
D. The WHO's Report on Needle Fear.

We learn about the world through the knowledge accumulated over thousands of years. Standing on the shoulders of great men, we don't have to experience endless trial and error, just as the wheels do not have to be reinvented each time to run a car. But where does our ability to learn from others come
from
A study led by Markus Paulus, professor at Loyola Marymount University, shows that the ability has its roots in earliest childhood. “It’s generally assumed that children’s ability to imitate is inborn, but according to our observation, children imitate because they themselves are imitated by caregivers. This interaction enables a cultural transfer of knowledge, which, through generations’ efforts, consequently leads to the development of human beings,” says Markus Paulus.
In this research, Paulus recorded the interaction between mother and child over several months. The babies came into the lab for the first time at the age of 6 months, while their final visit was when they were 18 months old. As they engaged in various play situations, the interactions and imitations of mother and child were analyzed. The long - term study showed that the more sensitive a mother was in her interactions with her six - month - old child and the more often she imitated the baby, the greater the child’s overall ability was at the age of 18 months.
Paulus’ research shows that mutual imitation is the keystone of knowledge transfer, through which children successfully learn various skills, such as how to use objects, waving, and acquisition of language. “This interaction is the nucleus of learning and, finally, gives rise to evolutionary success of human,” says Paulus.
“Cultural learning is an essential part of human evolution, and it is rooted in the imitation of others, particularly our caregivers during our earliest childhood,” says Paulus. “Through this, we learn from each other and pass on knowledge to the next generation, so certain actions or techniques do not have to be constantly invented again.”
32. Why does the author mention the example of wheels
A. To praise the invention of car wheels
B. To describe the process of trial and error.
C. To emphasize the necessity of new tools.
D. To show the importance of prior knowledge.
33. What can we learn about Paulus’ research
A. Children’s imitation was recorded by mothers.
B. Sensitive mothers encouraged children’s imitation.
C. Children’s ability was analyzed through interaction.
D. Effective interaction promoted children’s development.
34. What does the underlined word “nucleus” mean in paragraph 4
A. Core. B. Result. C. Aim. D. Content.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Why does Evolution Matter B. How to Interact with Children
C. Imitation: The Engine of Evolution D. Cultural Learning: The Root of Imitation

Why is it so hard to be truly honest with yourself Sometimes it's because you don't know what you want. Other times you do know what you want, but you're too afraid to admit it. 36 Quite often, the truth can be very ugly and painful, particularly if you've spent much time lying to yourself about things big and small.
37 If you can't rely on yourself because you aren't in tune with your truth, you'll end up making yourself painful. Thus, you must be honest with yourself to figure out what you want out of life so you can actually put forth the effort to build it. Here are three ideas that help you become more honest with yourself.
Take time to reflect on your day, every day. What did you do right or wrong Were there any points where you didn't act in tune with your actual feelings and desires 38 Considering how you acted throughout the day can help you sort through your feelings and actions of the day if you struggle to be honest with yourself.
Acknowledge your feelings. Your feelings are road signs on your journey to truth, peace of mind, and happiness. 39 So consider how your experiences and decisions make you feel, and understand why you feel the way you do. This will help you get in tune with yourself and make better decisions about a situation.
Accept that you can't know everything. You can't possibly know everything about everybody. Therefore, it's absolutely normal for you to do something wrong. So don't make excuses for yourself. 40
A. How will you do better
B. But why is honesty with yourself so important
C. This isn't a matter of being smart or wise enough.
D. Could you have spoken up and advocated for yourself better
E. They're trying to point you toward a path that makes sense for you.
F. You just need to be honest with yourself when you make those mistakes.
G. Maybe you just don't want to accept reality because the truth is unpleasant.

George, owner of a popular restaurant, was known for his excellent food, which was much loved by his customers. Even though he was talented, successful, and wealthy, his employees feared him for his strictness.
Debbie, a new waitress at George's restaurant, was hardworking, always serving customers with a smile. George was satisfied with her work. After about two months, George asked the night manager about Debbie, and the man had only good things to say about her. "She's smart, quick, and efficient, and she deals with customers better than anyone! We are searching for an assistant manager, and she seems like a good candidate. She's got great potential!"
However, one night, George caught Debbie in the act of stealing. Walking into the kitchen, he saw her putting a box carefully into her bag. "Debbie!" he called out, "Come to my office now!" He was seated behind his desk with a serious look as she entered, "Open your bag," George ordered. Debbie's face turned red, and she opened her bag to take out two plastic boxes, shaking as she placed them on the desk. George opened them to find some leftover food and a piece of cake. "You're fired," he screamed out in anger. "Right now!"
"Please," Debbie begged. "Please don't! The food was just going to be thrown away..."
"It's against the rules here," George replied firmly.
"Please," Debbie continued, "There's something you don't know..."
She said softly, "My son has leukemia(白血病), and the treatments are more than I can afford. I've been taking the leftover food home to save money for his care."
"Your son has leukemia..." George repeated. "Is this true " Debbie showed
him a photo of a young boy in a hospital bed, smiling bravely. George took a deep breath and looked at Debbie, and said more kindly, “The rules say you should be fired. I'll talk it over with the night manager. “Let's discuss this tomorrow.”

The following graph is about the job growth between 2021 and 2025 in the world.
Times change, so do jobs. As the graph shows, leading the way is the online shopping industry, where jobs increase by 32 percent between 2021 and 2025. It's not surprising since the progress of the Internet has been greatly influencing us and forever changing our lifestyles. Jobs related to environmental, conservationist, and wild life organizations run a second. That's because people have been increasingly environmentally conscious and are trying to pull their own weight for a better Earth.
Being a software engineer would be my ideal job. I'm always crazy about programming. I'd be content to know my work makes people's life more convenient.

第10段材料
Hi there. I’m Tim Tanner. I am honored to be here today. I’ve appeared on lots of TV shows with my brother Sam Tanner as the singing twin brothers. People often ask us what it’s like to be twins. Well, I was born ten minutes before Sam so I’m the older brother, although we do have a real older brother, Ken, who’s a year older than us. We were born premature — we suddenly appeared in October rather than January. Ken’s birthday is in December, so we’re pretty close in age.
Sam and I aren’t completely the same, but even our dad makes mistakes sometimes, because there’s hardly any difference in our hair, and we’re the same build. But as soon as we open our mouths, he’ll know which one it is.
In character we’re mostly similar — we’ve both always loved music, and we’ve always had a real interest in going out. However, people that know us say I’m not as confident as Sam is, which is probably true.
We are going to promote our new album Time Dance next week, which is quite different from our first one Soul Brothers. We’ve poured our hearts into it, and we’d be incredibly grateful for your support.
