4 creative cures for everyday dilemmas
The Student Becomes The Teacher
Rather than quizzing your kids for their big chemistry exam, have them give you a lesson. The Feynman Technique suggests you truly understand a topic when you can explain it clearly. If they struggle to make a concept simple, they know what to review. If you understand everything, they likely do too.
A DIY Moisture Meter
Spraying water for hours over a brown patch won’t necessarily bring back your green lawn this summer, nor does a brown patch mean that the grass is totally dead. Determine if your yard actually needs a drink by sticking a screwdriver (螺丝起子) into the soil. Only water if the ground is so hard that you can’t push the metal part more than eight centimetres into the ground.
Stay Afloat With A Sinking Fund
Create a ’ sinking fund’ to avoid sinking into debt when large expenses like holidays or home restorations arise, suggests financial expert Dave Ramsey. Set a goal (say, $2000) and calculate how much to save each month. automatically transfer (转) that amount to a separate account. When the bill comes, you won’t break a sweat.
A Lock Combination You Can’t Forget
You thought you knew the combination of your bike lock, safe or locker... but have since discovered that your memory isn’t quite as secure as your belongings. Here’s a trick to keep you from forgetting: pick a number, then write the combination on the lock’s underside in permanent marker minus that number. (For example, if a combination lock’s code is 06-14-24, and your lucky number is 4, you’ll write 02-10-20). One number is easier to remember than three. Maths challenged Pick an easy number, like 1, 2 or 10.
1. Which is helpful for a beginner in gardening
A. The Student Becomes The Teacher.

Dr. Jane Goodall’s life represents a journey of both personal and professional transformation. A new exhibition, “Becoming Jane,” celebrates this evolution, showcasing her groundbreaking chimpanzee (黑猩猩) research and her subsequent, decades-long commitment to activism and education.
Born in London in 1934, Goodall’s passion for animals led her to Kenya and then, in 1960, to Gombe, Tanzania, to study chimpanzees. Her initial attempts were challenging; the chimps fled at the sight of her. She observed them from a peak using a sighting scope. After months of effort, they finally tolerated her presence, leading to breakthrough moments, like a mother chimp, Flo, allowing her baby, Flint, to approach Jane — a now-legendary encounter captured in a photograph.
Her observations revolutionized science. Goodall revealed that chimpanzees were thinking, emotional beings within complex communities, capable of joy, sorrow, and jealousy. Most famously, she documented they could make and use tools, fashioning branches to “fish” for termites (白蚁), a capability previously believed unique to humans.
A significant transformation occurred in 1986. At a scientific conference,Goodall learned the global chimpanzee population had sharply reduced from 2 million to about 200,000 due to habitat destruction and hunting. She chose to stop being a passive observer and became a tireless, full-time activist, devoted to global advocacy and conservation.
Her activism proved strategic and influential. In 1992, her Jane Goodall Institute established the Tchimpounga Sanctuary (禁猎区) in the Republic of the Congo. She also engaged with researchers in labs where chimps were mistreated, advocating for ethical reforms. The once-shy scientist became a powerful global voice, declaring, “The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves.”
Beyond research and sanctuaries, her global youth program, Roots & Shoots, founded in 1991, supports nearly 1. 5 million young people in over 60 countries. Dr. Goodall’s life stands as a powerful proof to how one person’s courageous evolution can inspire a worldwide movement for hope and change.
4. What can we learn about Jane Goodall’s observation of the chimps
A. Like humans, the chimps could handle the tools.
B. It was easier for a baby chimp to approach human.
C. The chimps were too ready to contact Jane Goodall.
D. The chimps recognize human with thinking and emotions.
5. How did Jane Goodall devote herself to chimp conservation
A. Abandoning all field research.
B. Focusing on academic writing.
C. Using science for strategic advocacy.
D. Avoiding organization partnerships.
6. Which of the following can best describe Jane Goodall
A. Persuasive and decisive. B. Determined and committed.
C. Responsible and approachable. D. Forward-thinking and powerful.
7. What would be the best title for the passage
A. The transformation of Jane Goodall’s career.
B. The bond between Jane Goodall’s life and career.
C. The impact of Jane Goodall’s research on science.
D. The global conservation efforts led by Jane Goodall.
C
What if the guy who once kneeled during the national anthem (国歌) is now helping high schoolers in Prince George’s County level up their game with cutting-edge AI Yes. Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL athlete, is channeling his efforts into an unlikely sports field: education in Prince George’s County, Maryland. His initiative aims to bridge resource gaps for underserved students by employing cutting-edge artificial intelligence.
Colin Kaepernick’s initiative provides personalized learning through coding (编码) workshops, adaptive platforms, and virtual tutors. It brings cutting-edge tools like VR history lessons and AI career guidance to underserved communities, transforming complex STEM concepts into interactive, hands-on digital experiences that make education an engaging journey of exploration.
Data shows personalized AI learning boosts engagement by nearly 30%, reducing dropout rates and improving academic performance in Prince George’s County. Students use AI for SAT prep, social justice apps, and native-language lessons via real-time translation. The initiative makes technology a partner in building confidence and problem-solving skills, using even AI’s faults to teach resilience (适应能力) and critical thinking, promoting possibilities for big dreams.
Let’s not pretend the technology is perfect — even in Kaepernick’s program’s case, it isn’t immune to AI’s slip-ups. Picture a chatbot proposing complex nuclear physics to a math beginner! But such errors teach resilience and critical thinking-skills Kaepernick values — encouraging us to learn. Still, the benefits far outweigh the laughs. His ethical approach, with strong data safeguards, acts as a fair-play referee. By tackling challenges head-on, the program is guiding smoother launches elsewhere, treating AI like that brilliant but occasionally odd companion.
Colin Kaepernick’s initiative could signal a broader shift. As AI potentially automates administrative tasks, teachers gain more time for creative instruction. Kaepernick’s work demonstrates how technology, guided by a commitment to justice, can reshape education into a dynamic, inclusive platform for the future.
8. What is the purpose of Colin Kaepernick’s initiative
A. To provide athletic coaching. B. To replace traditional education.
C. To achieve educational fairness. D. To adapt AI to students’ career needs.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about Colin Kaepernick’s initiative
A. Its applications. B. Its benefits. C. Its prospects. D. Its limitations.
10. What does the underlined sentence “it isn’t immune to AI’s slip-ups” mean
A. It avoids AI’s obvious failures. B. It is unaware of AI’s weaknesses.
C. It is also affected by AI’s mistakes. D. It protects students from AI’s dangers.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards Colin Kaepernick’s initiative
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Uncertain. D. Supportive.
D
Popular views about body language often stress its use for catching lies or spotting hidden negative actions. This approach promotes the idea that specific gestures act as universal “tells” — such as faster blinking indicating a potential lie.
However, research challenges this view. A 2023 study of TV quiz show contestants demonstrates the danger in treating physical responses as reliable indicators of a specific intention. While people do blink faster under stress, this simply signals a stress response, not a declaration of intention to lie. Stress is multi-determined: it could arise from trying to recall the truth, construct a lie, or simply find the right answer. Furthermore, blinking also slows during intense concentration and speeds up when processing questions. In brief, it is a response to what is happening, not a clear marker of truthfulness.
This example illustrates a fundamental principle: individual body language cues (暗示)are multi-determined. Crossing one’s arms might signal defensiveness, but it could equally mean a person is cold, tired, or simply comfortable.
Therefore, seeking definite"tells"is misguided. Instead, body language is more reliably used to answer broader relational questions: Is this person open or resistant A friend or an enemy These assessments of general attitude are where nonverbal communication proves valuable.
Reliability increases significantly in familiar contexts. We are reasonably good at reading the signals of people we know well — like family or long-time colleagues — especially when they experience strong emotions. That’s because you know how that person normally acts, and thus spotting a variation from the norm is relatively easy and reliable.
Ultimately, becoming a skilled interpreter requires moving beyond “tells.” One must pay attention to both what people say and how they say it, integrating verbal and nonverbal cues over time. It’s simply good listening.
12. What does the research show about blinking faster
A. It always indicates a person is lying.
B. It shows a person is thinking hard.
C. It is a sign of stress, but not necessarily lying.
D. It means a person is trying to defend himself.
13. What is the author’s purpose in discussing the example of crossing arms
A. To prove that specific gestures are reliable.
B. To show multiple meanings of a single gesture.
C. To demonstrate the importance of body language.
D. To argue that body language is undoubtedly truthful.
14. In what situation, would body language be most reliably interpreted according to the text
A. A traveler guessing if a foreign shop owner is honest.
B. A policeman judging a suspect in the first-time enquiry.
C. A teacher noticing his student’s red eyes from weeping.
D. A manager interpreting crossed arms from an interviewee.
15. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. When we can rely on body language.
B. What hides behind specific gestures.
C Why body language can tell the truth.
D. How to read body language reliably.

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。
I never dreamed of being anything but a teacher. As a child, I would gather my cousins and friends to play school, always taking the role of the teacher, already practicing for my future career. However, coming from a middle-class family that consistently struggled to make ends meet, my ambition to attend the University of Connecticut felt like reaching for a star——beautiful but distant. Yet, in my heart, I refused to settle for anything less.
During my senior year of high school, I began the college application process. But my destiny（命运）was already borne in my mind: the University of Connecticut was the one for me. However, the single, enormous obstacle（阻碍）standing in my way was a lack of financial resources. Initially, defeat seemed unavoidable. Why would anyone invest such a large sum in an average student like me I wasn’t top of my class, but I possessed something equally powerful: determination. I tirelessly applied for every scholarship I could find and, following my head teacher’s advice, handed in an application for financial aid, though I stuck to it with little genuine hope.
Then, the long-awaited moment arrived—a letter from the University of Connecticut. My hands shook as I opened the envelope, and tears of pure joy welled up in my eyes the moment I read the word “Congratulations!” I had been accepted! But how could I possibly afford the tuition My parents, incredibly proud that I would be the first in our family to attend university, simply could not bear the financial burden. They had always taught me never to give up, no matter the obstacles, and so I remembered that lesson, forcing myself to keep believing.
Weeks turned into months with no word from the financial aid office. I prepared myself for disappointment, assuming my application had been rejected.

46. Possible version（talent show）:
Dear Student Union,
I’m Li Hua. I’m writing to put forward a suggestion of holding a talent show for the campus culture festival.
It is the diverse talents of students that make our campus colorful, vibrant and dynamic. It not only offers a
stage where students can showcase their skills like singing, dancing or playing musical instruments, but also
strengthens the bond among us. For the show, we can first hold auditions in each class, then select excellent
performers for the final show in the school hall, with prizes awarded to winners based on audience votes and
teacher evaluations.
I’m convinced that this talent show will become a highlight of the festival, leaving all of us an unforgettable
memory.
Yours,
Li Hua
Possible version（Creative Handcraft Fair）：
Dear Student Union,
I’m writing to put forward a suggestion for the upcoming campus culture festival. I strongly recommend
organizing a Creative Handcraft Fair.
This activity would provide an excellent opportunity for students to showcase their practical skills and
creativity. Through projects like recycled art, DIY decorations, and traditional crafts, it encourages teamwork,
innovation, and environmental awareness. Such an event not only develops hands on abilities but also fosters a
sense of accomplishment. Moreover, it can attract visitors with interactive workshops and display.
I truly hope you will consider this idea and make it a memorable part of our cultural celebration.
Yours,
Li Hua
Possible version（Poetry Recital）：
Dear Student Union,
I’m writing to put forward a suggestion for the campus culture festival. I believe that hosting a Poetry Recital
would be a meaningful addition to the program.
A poetry recital can deepen students’ appreciation for literature while enhancing their confidence and
expressive skills. It offers a platform for sharing emotions and cultural heritage through a mix of classic and
contemporary poems. This activity would create a reflective and artistic atmosphere, encouraging participants to
connect with words in a profound way. Additionally, it could feature background music or visual aids to enrich the
experience.
I look forward to seeing this elegant and intellectually stimulating event come to life during the festival.
Yours,
Li Hua

47.Possible version 1：
Just as my hope was fading, a thick envelope arrived in the mail. With trembling hands, I tore it open. Inside
was an official letter from the financial aid office. My eyes scanned the words quickly, heart pounding wildly. To
my overwhelming relief and disbelief, it informed me that I had been granted a substantial scholarship covering
nearly all of my tuition! A cry of joy escaped my lips as I hugged the letter to my chest, tears of gratitude streaming
down my face. My dream was finally within reach.
The next day,I brought the mysterious documents to my head teacher. Her face lit up with a proud smile as she
reviewed them. “I knew your perseverance would pay off,” she said warmly. She explained the final steps and
helped me complete the necessary forms. Before I left, she placed a gentle hand on my shoulder. “Remember this
feeling when you face future challenges,” she advised. “You’ve earned this opportunity. Now go and become the
wonderful teacher I know you will be.”
Possible version 2：
Just as my hope was fading,a thick envelope arrived in the mail. Its weight in my hands felt like destiny itself.
I held my breath as I read, and there it was—news of a full scholarship. All the anxiety instantly melted into a quiet
awe. In that moment, the distant star of my dream didn’t just seem closer; it felt like a light I could now carry
forward, not only for myself, but as a promise to everyone who had ever doubted their own reach.
The next day,I brought the mysterious documents to my head teacher. Her eyes sparkled with pride as she
examined them. "I always believed in your determination," she said softly, guiding me through the final forms. As I
stood to leave, she offered words I would carry forever: "Remember, the most profound classrooms are built not of
bricks, but of bridges—bridges of hope that you will now help build for others. " Her wisdom transformed my
acceptance from a personal victory into a solemn promise.
