My son still tells people this story, though he and I remember it differently. The difference is more a matter of the way we feel about what happened — what it says about us.
New England was in the middle of a July heat wave, and we were driving from a funeral in Massachusetts back to summer camp in Maine, where I ran a music program and fifteen-year-old Darius was a camper. Twelve years had passed since the accident that had taken the lives of my wife and older son, and Darius and I were finally in a good place. But funerals could still be triggering, and even though my grandfather had made it past a hundred, we’d still been unprepared.
The funeral was more stressful than sad. My mother asked me to play a song, so I prepared George Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass.” But I got performance anxiety, messed up the chords, and almost dropped the guitar.
We left quickly, wanting to get back to camp for a play that night. On the highway, I realized too late that the car was out of gas. The Corolla ran out of gas and stopped halfway up the road. We discovered a gas station was a little over a mile away.
I told Darius to sit in the driver’s seat. When I shouted “Now,” he put the car in neutral (空档) and I pushed. Somehow, impossibly, the car rolled up the hill. I hopped into the passenger seat, and we coasted down the other side.
But even after coasting, the car still couldn’t make it to the station. We had to walk the last mile, taking turns carrying the gas can.
That day became a legend for Darius: My dad pushed a car up a hill. I knew it was more luck than strength, but he saw me as a hero.
When I remember now, I think mostly of our walk back, the two of us passing the can, Darius smiling and calm. His gift has always been empathy, kindness, and a sense of hope. I don’t know what got that car moving, but I know who kept me moving toward the future.
4. Why does the author mention the funeral at the beginning
A. To show the emotional setting. B. To present the travel schedule.
C. To reveal the family background. D. To highlight the grandfather’s age.
5. Why did the father push the car uphill
A. To move the car safely. B. To avoid missing the play.
C. To test Darius’ driving skills. D. To reach a nearby gas station.
6. What does Darius mainly remember from that day
A. The failure at the funeral. B. His grandfather’s long life.
C. His father’s heroic strength. D. Their walk with the gas can.
7. What is the main message of the story
A. Hard work always pays off. B. Family bonds help overcome loss.
C. Luck is more important than effort. D. Strength matters more than empathy.
C
In a conversation with Drs. Ben Ebert and Eliezer Van Allen of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Van Allen said, “AI will re-humanize medicine.” This phrase captured the central issue: modern health care in the United States often feels inhuman, dominated by paperwork, disputes, and rigid procedures, despite the best intentions of medical professionals.
Over the past 25 years, digitization of medical records has not improved patient experience or clinical outcomes. Dr. Allen Chang noted that electronic health records (EHRs) have failed to enhance job satisfaction or operational efficiency. The 2021“quadruple aim” paper by Microsoft and University College London outlined goals to improve population health, patient experience, caregiver satisfaction, and reduce costs. Digitization alone has fallen short, but AI offers potential to make care more personalized, precise, predictive, and accessible.
AI is already transforming doctor-patient interactions. “Ambient scribes” transform spoken consultation into notes for EHRs, allowing physicians to engage directly with patients instead of typing, improving satisfaction and reclaiming time previously spent on documentation. AI also aids diagnostic (诊断的) thinking, supplementing critical reasoning that doctors rarely have time for, acting as a “House on demand” with vast medical knowledge.
In research, AI accelerates drug discovery. Alpha Fold predicted structures for millions of proteins, vastly more than previously possible. AI also helps analyze literature, repurpose drugs, and match patients to clinical trials, increasing efficiency and enabling better decisions. Human expertise remains essential, as AI models must understand disease complexity, lab-specific biases, and biological interactions.
Looking forward, AI can automate workflows, predict disease evolution, monitor patients remotely, and support virtual bining clinician insight with AI promises to re-humanize health care while democratizing access. Ebert and Van Allen anticipate fully AI-enabled hospitals where patient monitoring, personalized therapeutics, and research integration create a smooth, humane experience.
In short, AI does not replace doctors — it restores their ability to connect with patients supports complex decision-making, and enhances care quality, fulfilling the promise of health care that is truly personal and human-centered.
8. Why does the author mention EHRs in the second paragraph
A. To explain a solution. B. To make a comparison.
C. To introduce a problem. D. To present an argument.
9. What does the underlined phrase “Ambient scribes” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Databases that store medical records.
B. Software that records clinical interactions.
C Devices that improve patients’ well-being.
D. Notes that summarize physicians’ diagnoses.
10. What do Ebert and Van Allen focus on regarding AI-enabled hospitals
A. A clinical study. B. A statistical analysis.
C. A practical application. D. A theoretical framework.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward AI-enabled hospitals
A. Unclear. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.
D
In today’s organizations, harmony is often praised as the ideal condition for teamwork. Managers are encouraged to build consensus, reduce disagreement, and maintain a friendly atmosphere. At first glance, this seems sensible: when everyone gets along, projects move faster and morale stays high. Yet the growing belief that all conflict is harmful may overlook the deeper role that disagreement plays in innovation and progress.
Supporters of harmony argue that conflict wastes time and damages relationships. When colleagues argue, meetings become unproductive and cooperation breaks down. Employees may focus on defending their positions rather than solving problems. From this view, conflict is like friction in a machine — a force that slows movement and wears down the parts. A peaceful workplace, they say, ensures efficiency and emotional well-being.
However, research suggests that certain kinds of conflict can be remarkably useful. When handled constructively, disagreements encourage people to question assumptions and explore alternative solutions. Teams that tolerate respectful debate often make better decisions than those that avoid tension altogether. In fact, the absence of conflict can lead to “groupthink”, a condition in which everyone agrees too quickly, ignoring warning signs or creative possibilities.
The real challenge, then, is not to eliminate conflict but to manage it wisely. Productive conflict focuses on ideas, not personalities; it pushes teams to think critically without turning aggressive. Successful leaders recognize when to let tension spark insight — and when to step in before it turns destructive. In the end, a truly harmonious workplace is not one without conflict, but one that transforms conflict into collaboration.
12. What is the main function of the first paragraph
A. To question the necessity of teamwork.
B. To summarize the author’s main argument.
C. To introduce a widely accepted assumption.
D. To explain the cause of workplace inefficiency.
13. Why do supporters of harmony view conflict negatively
A. It distracts attention from problem-solving.
B. It discourages employees to think creatively.
C. It fails to help people explore useful solutions.
D. It prevents people from defending themselves.
14. What is implied in the third paragraph
A. Respectful debate weakens team unity.
B Harmony always leads to high productivity.
C. Groupthink is the result of intense argument.
D. Disagreement can stimulate creative thinking.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How Conflict Works. B. Why Conflict Matters.
C. When Harmony Hurts. D. What Harmony Misses.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a warm summer evening in Surat, my wife and I were on our way to the grocery store, when I noticed a man sitting on the pavement under a street light. Something about him made me stop. He sat motionless on his waist, his firm gaze fixed on an object only he could see. His beard was long and dirty, much like the messy hair on his head An old advertisement banner wrapped roughly around his waist was his only protection from the elements. The vacant look in his eyes indicated he was possibly incapable of normal mental function.
We tried asking him a few questions, but he showed no signs of having heard or understood us. He just sat there, staring into the darkness, unaware of our presence. It was quite apparent that he was in need of help and we thought a while about what we could do. “He looks very hungry,” my wife remarked, “but there is no point in giving him money.” I agreed. “Let’s buy him a loaf of bread instead,” I suggested.
It took us a while to finish our shopping. When we returned to the spot where we had first seen the man, he wasn’t there. We looked around, but there was no sign of him.
Disappointed, we decided to go home, wondering what to do with the loaf of bread. We’d barely gone a hundred meters when we spotted him. Driven by hunger, he had crossed the road and was seated with a family of migrant labourers who had camped there. Surprisingly, none of the family members seemed to mind his presence.
In fact, he looked to be quite welcome. The family had accepted him without question, just as they would a visiting relative or a close friend. Curious, I stopped my motorcycle in the shadows and watched.
It was dinner time and the family had gathered around an open fire over which a lady was roasting rotis (烙饼) on a tava (煎锅). A dish of steaming rice and a pot of curry completed the menu. The beggar was eating hungrily from an aluminium plate — identical to the ones from which the family ate their meals.

Dear Walson,
I’m absolutely delighted to share that I have won the first prize in the “Beautiful Campus” painting competition of our school — an excellent honor since I represented my whole class.
My work features the century-old banyan tree in our playground, with students immersed in reading beneath its branches. I chose this scene because it’s our campus’s most cherished spot, holding countless happy memories of us.
This prize has greatly boosted my confidence in my artistic abilities. Moreover, it has made me realize that capturing the beautiful little moments in life around us is of great significance. I’m eager to share more of my artwork with you soon.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

Even as she rolled and roasted more rotis, the lady kept an eye on the stranger, making sure that his plate was not empty. She smiled gently as he ate, never showing impatience or annoyance, and occasionally offered him a piece of roti when he dropped one. The other family members continued their meal, chatting and laughing, yet they also made sure he was included in everything. He ate awkwardly at first, dropping food here and there, but the family did not seem to mind. The warmth and care in their actions were quiet but unmistakable, and we watched in silence, moved by the way they treated someone who was, in all other respects, a complete stranger.
After watching for a while, we placed the loaf of bread near the man and rode away. The family noticed the bread and, without hesitation, included it in their meal. They sliced it into pieces, offering some to the man, who took it gratefully. For a brief moment, the simple loaf became part of their collective dinner, binding them together in an unspoken understanding of kindness. We rode away feeling humbled, witnessing a quiet act of generosity that spoke louder than words ever could.
