Recently, I spent time with my 14-month-old grandson, Theodore. It was an eye-opening experience because, as a grandfather, I was able to play and interact with him without having to balance other responsibilities. His parents were more than happy to let him and me play while they caught up on some sleep.
His days were full of exploration and inquiry. Every drawer and cupboard had all sorts of new stuff that needed to be taken out, examined, sometimes thrown and sometimes put carefully away. It brought back memories as he went through the same drawers his father had explored over 30 years ago.
But what struck me the most were the hours of concentration trying out new stuff and working to understand what was happening. He spent a long time playing with five stacking rings. He didn’t just stack(摞起来) them. He dropped them onto the carpet where they stayed still, and on the hard floor where they rolled. He went back and forth, testing how each ring behaved in different places. He watched closely every time.
Theodore was always observing, thinking, and learning. It reminded me that when we’re very young, we’re all great learners. But as we grow older, many of us lose that motivation. Instead of thinking critically, we’ll try to fit whatever new information we might encounter into our existing worldview instead of expanding our horizons.
The world changes. If we don’t keep up, we fall behind. How can you have relevant opinions when you don’t understand the issue itself People are satisfied with what they knew years ago, or what they heard from an article titled “Experts say...”. People lack the motivation to question what they hear or to understand different points of view. We can’t investigate everything like Theodore, but we can stay curious. Being a successful creative person demands that we be lifelong learners.
24. What can we infer from Theodore’s exploration in paragraph 2
A. He was looking for his father’s old toys.
B. He was creating disorder without any purpose.
C. He was helping grandparents with housework.
D. He was naturally curious about his environment.
25. How did Theodore try to understand the rings
A. By lining them up to prevent falling.
B. By following instructions from adults.
C. By concentrating on making them stand still.
D. By observing movements on different surfaces.
26. What makes adults fall behind according to the author
A. A fear of doing things wrong. B. A lack of curiosity to explore.
C. A distraction of various activities. D. A distrust in provided information.
27. What is the author’s purpose in telling Theodore’s story
A. To describe a grandparent’s role.
B. To motivate people to keep learning.
C. To prove that early education is vital.
D. To show how curiosity is passed down.
C
A new study published in the Journal of Applied Ecology revealed when, where and how most songbirds migrate offshore over North American coasts. This data can help wind energy managers cut down on birds dying from hitting wind turbines (涡轮机) while generating sustainable energy.
The researchers studied 10 years of weather radar data from 16 sites and found that birds flying over the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf of Mexico gather more closely and move for a shorter time than those flying over land. More birds also migrate in fall than in spring. Shannon Curley, the study’s lead researcher, explained, “Birds migrate over the sea on fewer nights than over land. There’s no place to rest and refuel on the water, so birds may wait for ideal atmospheric conditions, such as favorable winds, before making an offshore crossing.”
This short yet critical time window gives wind energy managers a chance to reduce collisions (相撞). Curley said they could pause turbine work on nights when migration is most intense-a practice that is currently more common in Europe than North America. “These peak nights of migration tend to have fairly nice weather and calmer winds, and are therefore not the nights when wind operators have a huge energy harvest,”Curley noted. “So there might be a sweet spot where we can target these big migration nights and give these birds safe passage.”
The study also found that songbirds migrating offshore fly at lower altitudes than those migrating over land, potentially putting them at greater risk of wind turbine collisions. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says 140,000 to 327,000 birds die from land turbines each year. But no one knows how many die from offshore turbines, since dead birds’ bodies wash away easily. So using radar technology to identify high-risk areas is key.
With one-third of all American bird species rapidly declining, data-driven decisions about turbine siting and operations can point the way to sustainable energy while also saving birds. “Our hope is that this work will help identify high-risk, high-use areas for birds and contribute to positive green energy solutions,” Curley said.
28. What can we learn about the songbirds in paragraph 2
A. They favor flying over open seas. B. They become more active on spring nights.
C. They are particular about where to rest. D. They time crossings by weather conditions.
29. What does the underlined phrase “a sweet spot” refer to
A. An ideal balance. B. A moral dilemma.
C. An opportunity for profit. D. A place without turbines.
30. Why is it difficult to identify high-risk areas offshore
A. Birds change their travelling routes. B. Wind strength at sea is unpredictable.
C. Dead birds’ bodies are hard to trace. D. Radar technology is underdeveloped.
31. What does Curley think of the potential application of the new research
A. Risky. B. Promising. C. Productive. D. Challenging.
D
Have you ever noticed the “Gen Z stare” This refers to a long, blank and expressionless look often seen in teenagers and young adults. They might use this expression when faced with frustrating questions during face-to-face conversations.
The look has led to heated debate across generations. Many older generations are confused, and some even criticize that the generation doesn’t have social manners, saying that their bored-looking expression can ruin interactions. However, Gen Zers have argued that this is simply their way of communicating.
This debate has made many curious about why young people often have such blank stares. Psychology Today explains that the Gen Z stare is a sign of key issues for their generation. These include identity, visibility, emotion regulation and self-presentation. Research suggests that these expressions help manage emotions, serving as a form of protection from judgment or overexposure. Gen Z often worries about looking too keen, so holding back their feelings may signal that they are in control.
Also, technology plays a significant role. Growing up with the internet, Gen Zers have developed different conversational rules. They are used to jumping straight into specific topics, often skipping the small talk. “You’re straight to the top of the conversation because someone said something interesting... or someone sent you an online joke,” Gen Zer Grace told ABC News. “So there isn’t much practice with small talk, and therefore it’s a little bit harder to know how to respond to it in person.”
This isn’t the first time technology and generational differences have led to unique behavioral patterns. Millennials (千禧一代), born between the early 1980s and early 2000s, are known for the “millennial pause” — a brief moment before speaking in videos. Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, often sign their text messages as if writing letters. Every generation eventually becomes a target of moral panic, pointed out Matthew Solit, a clinical director at LifeStance Health. However, this probably isn’t true for Gen Z, just like it wasn’t for those before them.
32. What does the older generation regard the “Gen Z stare” as
A. A lack of politeness. B. A sign of indifference.
C. A way of interacting. D. A form of self-control.
33. According to Grace, what happened to Gen Zers with technology
A. They have various talking rules.
B. They lack chances to talk online.
C. They tend to be straightforward.
D. They are used to replying at once.
34. What’s the author’s attitude to the “Gen Z stare”
A. Objective. B. Supportive.
C. Critical. D. Sympathetic.
35. What is the best title for the passage
A. The History of Communication B. The Gen Z Stare and Its Causes
C. Moral Panic About Generations D. Unique Expressions of Gen Zers
