Frank was always frank (坦率的). “Honesty is the best policy (原则).” said Frank. He never lied to his schoolmates.
“Your freckles (雀斑) make you look 13 , and they remind me of the Big Dipper (北斗七星).” Frank told Dotty. Dotty pulled down her hat over her face. “Your singing is kind of scary.” Frank told Carol. Carol cried and ran away. The two girls found the teacher, so the teacher called his mom.
“You wouldn’t get so many wrinkles (皱纹) if you didn’t look at me like that,” Frank told his mom on their way back home.
Frank was very proud of being frank, but neither his schoolmates nor adults 14 Frank’s honesty as he thought.
“My freckles do not look like the Big Dipper,” Dotty said, “and my mother said I shouldn’t listen to you.”
“I’m not going to ride the Ferris wheel with you.” Carol told Frank. “But we always ride the Ferris wheel together.” Frank said quietly.
“You’ll have wrinkles one day, too.” Mom said. “Some things are better left 15 .”
Everyone was upset and now Frank wasn’t so happy, either.
He walked down the block to his grandpa’s house. Grandpa was happy to see Frank. “What’s up ” he asked. “Everyone is mad at me for being frank. I’m not sure whether honesty is the best policy anymore.”“ That used to happen to me, too.” said Grandpa.
Then Mrs. Peacock walked by and 16 her large and heavy hat. “It’s new. Do you like it ” Frank thought the hat looked like a flower store on Mrs. Peacock’s head
“Well,” Grandpa said, “there are a lot of flowers up there, but my favorite is the purple one in the middle.”
Frank couldn’t believe his ears. “Grandpa, you lied.”“ No, Frank. I told the 17 . I really do like the purple flower. I just talked about the good things on her hat instead of the not so good things.”“ So, I shouldn’t give the truth unless someone asks for it.”“ You should always give people the truth. You just have to find the right way to serve it.”
The next afternoon at school, when Carol sang, Frank said, “You sure can hit those high 18 .” Carol smiled at Frank.
On the way home, Frank gave his mom a poem he wrote for her.
Mom, your hair looks nice today.
I only see a little gray.
And when she smiled, Frank 19 not to mention the wrinkles around the corners of her mouth.
The next day while Frank helped Grandpa in his garden, Mrs. Peacock stopped by again. “So, what do you think of my hat ” Mrs. Peacock asked but this time she wasn’t asking Grandpa; she was asking Frank. Frank thought for a while, “I’ve never seen a hat like that before. It must be one of a kind.”“ Thank you.” Mrs. Peacock smiled.
“So how is it being frank today ” Grandpa asked. “Well, I still think honesty is the best policy,” said Frank, “but now I know it’s best 20 with good manners.”
13.A. natural B. pale C. pretty D. strange

A
Mason's "Souper" Idea Mason Martin wasn't very interested in soup.His mother，on the other hand，loved soup.She made two different kinds every day.
When Mason was eight，his mother opened a small restaurant called "Soup & More".When it was cold outside，customers filled the place because the soup warmed their insides.But when summer came，business slowed down.Sure，there were still some regulars （常客），but they added up to no more than a few customers a day.
Mrs.Martin stood by the window，looking worried as she watched the crowds pass by.Mason knew that one more bad summer would mean the end of the business.He felt sad.
Mason couldn't stand seeing his mother worry and he made up his mind to help her.
One hot summer Sunday，Mason sat at the ice-cream shop.He was trying to escape the fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk heat.Mason absently moved his spoon in circles，watching his ice cream melt （融化） in the bottom of his bowl.
How could he help save his mother's restaurant？He kept thinking-until suddenly，he opened his eyes wide.Oh，I've got it!I've got it!
Mason raced to the restaurant，his heart beating fast. "Mason，why are you running？Are you OK？" His mother asked.
"Mom，I'm fine.Actually，better than fine.I just figured out a way to save the restaurant in the summertime!"
His mother looked at him closely， "Are you sure you're not overheated？"
"No.I'm excited!I've got the greatest idea in the world.Our summer business will be booming （红火的）!"
Mrs.Martin listened as Mason quickly explained.At first she just shook her head，but then started nodding.She realized that her son might have found the answer to their troubles.
From that day on，the restaurant had a new summer dish-ice-cream soups.Word spread far and wide that it was a great place to go to beat the heat.Soon，a long line stretched out （延伸） the door and no one seemed to mind the wait.
21.How did Mason feel when he saw his mother stand by the window？ ______
A. Angry. B. Calm. C. Sad. D. Excited.
22.What was Mason's "greatest idea" that finally saved the summer business？ ______
A. Serving the soup together with free ice-cream soups.
B. Adding creative cold ice-cream soups to the menu.
C. Turning the restaurant into an ice-cream shop in summer.
D. Offering small gifts to attract more regular customers.
23.What can we learn from Mason's story？ ______
A. Good luck is important for business.
B. Following the old ways is always safe.
C. Teamwork is the key to solving problems.
D. Love and careful thinking can solve problems.
B
People often think that success is the result of talent or luck, but in reality, daily routines (惯例) play a key role in shaping our lives. From how we start our mornings to how we spend our evenings, routines can have a big effect on our productivity, mental health, and overall well-being.
One of the biggest benefits of having a routine is increased efficiency (效率). When we have a set timetable, we waste less time deciding what to do next. For example, people who follow a morning routine—such as waking up at the same time, exercising, and eating a healthy breakfast—often feel more energetic and prepared for the day. On the other hand, those who wake up without a plan may feel rushed and stressed, making it harder to focus on important tasks.
Another advantage of routines is their ability to reduce stress and worry. Uncertainty can make people feel stressed, but a predictable routine gives a sense of control. For example, students who create a study timetable and stick to it are likely to feel more confident before exams.
Besides improving efficiency and reducing stress, routines can also lead to better health. Many people have trouble with unhealthy habits, such as eating unhealthy food or spending too much time on screens. By building positive routines, such as preparing balanced meals, setting limits on screen time, and sticking to a workout routine, people can build healthier lifestyles without depending on motivation alone.
However, not all routines are the same in their benefits. Some people can fall into rigid routines. For example, if someone follows this kind of timetable without allowing time for relaxation or social activities, he may feel caught rather than productive. To create a routine that truly benefits you, it’s important to find a balance between order and flexibility (灵活性).
Moreover, routines should be personalized. What works for one person may not work for another. Some people feel more productive in the morning, while others do their best work at night. The key is to discover which habits and timetables make you feel happier, healthier, and more productive.
In the end, routines are not about doing the same thing every day without change. Instead, they are tools that help people stay organized, reduce stress, and build positive habits. By designing a routine that supports your goals, you can make daily life easier and more fulfilling.
24.What can you learn from the passage
A. A more predictable routine can give a sense of uncertainty.
B. Mixing set plans with changes can build an effective routine.
C. Daily routines can make it harder to focus on important tasks.
D. Motivation connects effective routines with healthy lifestyles.
25.What does the word “rigid” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean
A. Strict. B. Difficult. C. Organized. D. Balanced.
26.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Why are Daily Routines Overvalued
B. How to Build Effective Daily Routines
C. From Disorder to Control: The Power of Daily Routines.
D. The Secret to a Stress-free Life: The Change of Daily Routines.
C
As winter comes, warm-blooded animals choose to deal with the cold in a social way: crowding together in groups. From mice to Himalayan rabbits, each animal in a group will get together to share the heat from their bodies and avoid the risk of dying from the cold. This natural behavior not only helps them survive freezing temperatures but also builds social relationships within the group.
While humans may not physically crowd together, our ancestors (祖先) would have depended on the support of others for food, fuel (燃料), and shelter (庇护所), and this would have been especially important when it was cold. As a result, they might be very sensitive to others when the temperature dropped. They were likely to look for other places to get warmth if they felt that they could no longer depend on the group for support. Even today, many people don’t notice closer social connections when the weather turns colder, such as getting together with family for hot meals.
Psychologist (心理学家) Geoffrey was the first to study the connection between being left out and physical warmth. He turned to a video game called Cyberball, which tries to recreate the kind of social exclusionthat many of us might have experienced in the playground. Each person is seemingly placed in a group of three and asked to play online catch with two other people, hidden from view. In fact, two of the players are controlled by a computer. In the beginning, these computerized players are designed to throw the ball to each person, but after a while, they begin to avoid the participant (参与者) as programmed, so that the participant no longer feels included in the game. Having been left out by the other players, the participant reports feeling rejected. And the participants have the habit of looking for sources (来源) of warmth as comfort. Some even reach for hot drinks or warm clothes immediately after feeling left out, showing a clear connection between social coldness and the need for physical warmth.
Like all psychological discoveries, this relationship between social connection and physical warmth matters for our mental health—sad people often feel cold, and understanding this may help with better care. In daily life, sharing hot soup with family or giving a warm hug to a sad friend drives away both physical cold and the “social coldness” of feeling left out. After all, warmth from connections, as well as physical warmth, is not just key to getting through the winter—it’s a treasure that helps us live happier, more connected lives.
27.Why does the writer mention “mice” and “rabbits” in Paragraph 1
A. To list the main sources of physical warmth in winter.
B. To describe how animals might get used to cold in the future.
C. To show a common way warm-blooded animals deal with cold.
D. To introduce the similarities between mice and Himalayan rabbits.
28.In Paragraph 3, the underlined word “exclusion” most probably means ________.
A. losing certain games B. stopping from joining in
C. getting help and support D. receiving a warm welcome
29.What are the participants likely to do when they are left out
A. They may wear light clothes.
B. They may stay by themselves.
C. They may eat some potato chips.
D. They may drink a cup of hot coffee.
30.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A. To advise people to share hot food with others on cold days.
B. To explain how warm-blooded animals survive the cold winter.
C. To introduce a famous psychological experiment about being left out.
D. To show the relationship between social connection and physical warmth.

31.Have you ever bought something without knowing what's inside？That's the fun of blind boxes-small，unopened packages that hide collectable toys or figures（人偶）.You don't know which one you'll get until you open it.It's just this kind of surprising joy that makes blind boxes so popular among teenagers and young adults.
Each blind box belongs to a themed series，such as lovely animals，cartoon characters，or cute food items.All the boxes look the same from the outside，but inside lies a surprise.Some figures are common，while others are uncommon and hard to find.Many collectors feel excited every time they open a box，hoping to get that special figure they've been searching for.
However，blind boxes are not just about the toys—they're also about the experience.Collectors often meet and exchange figures in stores and share their excitement together.Some even record unboxing videos and post them on social media.For many，collecting blind boxes becomes a way to express creativity and personality.They decorate their rooms with their favorite figures，design small shelves for display，or use them in art projects.Through this shared interest，a small and friendly community is formed.
But the excitement can become addictive（上瘾的），which is the main problem of buying blind boxes.Since you never know what's inside，it's easy to keep buying"just one more"box，hoping to find the uncommon one.Some people end up spending more than they planned.That's why it's important to set a budget（预算）and always remind yourself that collecting should bring joy，not pressure and waste.
Blind boxes have become an important part of modern pop culture，combining（融合） art，design，and curiosity together in one small package.Whether you collect them or simply watch unboxing videos online，they remind us of the joy of discovery.Sometimes，the best part of life is the unknown-the little surprises waiting to be opened.As long as we open them with care，patience，and self-control，blind boxes can bring fun and creativity to our everyday lives.
(1) What makes blind boxes popular among young adults？
______
(2) According to the writer，what are blind boxes about？
______
(3) What is the main problem of buying blind boxes？
______
(4) Is it necessary to set a budget before buying blind boxes？Why？（Please give two reasons.）
______

As winter comes, warm-blooded animals choose to deal with the cold in a social way: crowding together in groups. From mice to Himalayan rabbits, each animal in a group will get together to share the heat from their bodies and avoid the risk of dying from the cold. This natural behavior not only helps them survive freezing temperatures but also builds social relationships within the group.

Each person is seemingly placed in a group of three and asked to play online catch with two other people, hidden from view. In fact, two of the players are controlled by a computer. In the beginning, these computerized players are designed to throw the ball to each person, but after a while, they begin to avoid the participant (参与者) as programmed, so that the participant no longer feels included in the game. Having been left out by the other players, the participant reports feeling rejected. And the participants have the habit of looking for sources (来源) of warmth as comfort. Some even reach for hot drinks or warm clothes immediately after feeling left out, showing a clear connection between social coldness and the need for physical warmth.
Like all psychological discoveries, this relationship between social connection and physical warmth matters for our mental health—sad people often feel cold, and understanding this may help with better care. In daily life, sharing hot soup with family or giving a warm hug to a sad friend drives away both physical cold and the “social coldness” of feeling left out. After all, warmth from connections, as well as physical warmth, is not just key to getting through the winter—it’s a treasure that helps us live happier, more connected lives.

31.Have you ever bought something without knowing what's inside？That's the fun of blind boxes-small，unopened packages that hide collectable toys or figures（人偶）.You don't know which one you'll get until you open it.It's just this kind of surprising joy that makes blind boxes so popular among teenagers and young adults.
Each blind box belongs to a themed series，such as lovely animals，cartoon characters，or cute food items.All the boxes look the same from the outside，but inside lies a surprise.Some figures are common，while others are uncommon and hard to find.Many collectors feel excited every time they open a box，hoping to get that special figure they've been searching for.
However，blind boxes are not just about the toys—they're also about the experience.Collectors often meet and exchange figures in stores and share their excitement together.Some even record unboxing videos and post them on social media.For many，collecting blind boxes becomes a way to express creativity and personality.They decorate their rooms with their favorite figures，design small shelves for display，or use them in art projects.Through this shared interest，a small and friendly community is formed.
But the excitement can become addictive（上瘾的），which is the main problem of buying blind boxes.Since you never know what's inside，it's easy to keep buying"just one more"box，hoping to find the uncommon one.Some people end up spending more than they planned.That's why it's important to set a budget（预算）and always remind yourself that collecting should bring joy，not pressure and waste.
Blind boxes have become an important part of modern pop culture，combining（融合） art，design，and curiosity together in one small package.Whether you collect them or simply watch unboxing videos online，they remind us of the joy of discovery.Sometimes，the best part of life is the unknown-the little surprises waiting to be opened.As long as we open them with care，patience，and self-control，blind boxes can bring fun and creativity to our everyday lives.
