Born in Zambia and raised in Portland, 25-year-old Ashkùlù Songolo is the son of Congolese refugees—a background that, as he says, has deeply shaped his life choices. In the beginning, Songolo planned to study international relations at Stanford University with a focus on Africa, followed by law school and a potential career as a professor of African history. However, his career path took an unexpected turn after spending the summer of2023 as an intern(实习生) at Marché Noir Lomé-Paris, a French fashion boutique in Paris during the Haute Couture Week.
“I' ve always been interested in clothes. I admired how my parents, aunts, and uncles dressed, and I observed how people combined and matched different pieces,” Songolo explains.“But I never really saw fashion as a possible career. During Haute Couture Week,though, seeing people from diverse backgrounds all drawn to the same brand and viewing fashion as a unifying force made me reconsider.”
Fast-forward three years, Songolo, who has launched his own brand, Lutindo, has fully committed to his fashion career. The brand combines traditional cultural clothing with modern designs, ranging from casual wear to tailored suits and dresses. Many of his creations are inspired by Congolese aesthetics, and he aims to create more opportunities for people to engage with African culture through fashion, describing Lutindo not just as a brand but as a celebration where people can express their identity and heritage with love.
“My dream is to develop creative industries, starting in Congo and then expanding across Africa. By 2050, Africa is expected to have the largest youth population in the world,but I don't think enough is being done to create jobs for them.” His vision is to establish manufacturing in Congo and generate employment opportunities.
24. What initially influenced Ashkùlù Songolo's career planning
A. His research on immigrant youth engagement.
B. His experience at Paris Haute Couture Week.
C. His Congolese refugee family background.
D. His interest in clothes and fashion from a young age.
25. What made Ashkùlù Songolo consider fashion as a career during his Paris internship
A. The chance to attend Haute Couture Week.
B. Seeing fashion bond people from diverse backgrounds.
C. The opportunity to work at a fashion boutique.
D. Observing how his family members dressed.
26. What is the main goal of Ashkùlù Songolo's brand, Lutindo
A. To involve people in African culture through fashion.
B. To become the most popular fashion brand globally.
C. To focus only on traditional Congolese clothing.
D. To compete with major international fashion brands.
27. Which of the following can best describe Ashkùlù Songolo
A. Still waters run deep.
B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. One good turn deserves another.
D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C
We have a problem, and the strange thing is that we not only know about it, but also celebrate it. Just today, someone boasted(自夸) to me that she was so busy she's averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks. She wasn't complaining; she was proud of the fact. She is not alone.
Why are rational(理性的) people so irrational in their behavior The answer is that we' re in the midst of a bubble(泡沫). I call it“The More Bubble”.
The nature of bubbles is that something is overvalued until-- eventually—the bubble bursts, and we' re left wondering why we were so irrational in the first place. The thing we' re overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all, having it all, achieving
it all.
This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends: smart phones,social media, and extreme consumerism(消费主义). The result is not just information overload, but opinion overload. We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and, therefore, what we should be doing. In the process, we have been sold a bill of goods: that success means being supermen and superwomen who can get it all done. Of course, we boasted about being busy— it's code for being successful and important.
And our answer to the problem of more is always more. We need more technology to help us create more technologies. We need to move our workload to free up our own time to do yet even more.
Luckily, there is a solution to asking for more: asking for less, but better. A growing number of people are making this change. I call these people Essentialists. These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else. These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they are not working).They create technology-free zones in their homes. They trade time on Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them. Instead of running to different meetings, they put space on their plans to get important work done.
So we have two choices: We can be among the last people caught up in“The More Bubble”, or we can join the growing community of Essentialists and get more of what matters in our one precious life.
28. When the woman said she only slept for four hours a night for two weeks, she .
A. was unsatisfied with her lifestyle B. was asking for suggestions
C. knew few people were like her D. took pride in doing so
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The cause and result of“The More Bubble”. B. The advantages of“The More Bubble”.
C. The solutions to“The More Bubble”. D. The value of“The More Bubble”.
30. According to the text, Essentialists are those who .
A. prefer to change frequently B. give up certain things for what matters in life
C. are tired of information and opinions D. are eager to become successful and important
31. What's the author's attitude towards“The More Bubble”
A. Supportive. B. Undecided. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
D
Tired of standing in line Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. Everyone from Amazon to Silicon Valley start-ups is trying to eliminate lines in retail(零售) stores.
Amazon has opened 24 of its Amazon Go stores, which use cameras and artificial intelligence(AI) to see what you' ve taken off shelves and charge you as you walk out. Some start-ups are closely copying Amazon's approach to using AI-powered cameras fixed in ceilings. But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts. These companies have added cameras and sensors(传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you' ve placed in them. A built-in scale weighs items, in case you have to pay by the pound for an item. Customers pay by using a credit card, or through
an online payment system. When customers exit the store, a green light on the shopping cart indicates that their orders are complete, and they' re charged.
The start-ups behind the smart shopping carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it's much easier to add technology to the shopping cart than to an entire store. Amazon Go stores rely on hundreds of cameras in the ceiling. The shelves also include sensors to tell when an item is removed. Ahmed Beshry, cofounder of Caper, believes the technology to run Amazon Go is too expensive to use in a large grocery store. Neither Caper nor Veeve has said how much their smart shopping carts will cost, making it difficult to compare the different formats.Shariq Siddiqui, CEO of Veeve, said he's finding increased interest from
retailers given Amazon's steady expansion of Amazon Go since the first Amazon Go store opened in Seattle in 2018.“We' re always happy when Amazon is doing something,” Siddiqui said.“They force retailers to get out of their old-school thinking.”
Each time a business uses artificial intelligence and cameras, it raises questions about customer privacy and the impact on jobs. Beshry notes that the cameras in his smart shopping cart point down into the cart, so only customers' hands and part of their arms will be captured(拍摄) by cameras.
32. Which of the following best explains“eliminate” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Shift. B. Break. C. Extend. D. Remove.
33. What do we know about the smart shopping carts
A. They are linked to the cameras fixed in the ceilings.
B. They are able to recognize purchases placed in them.
C. They flash the green light when the order is cancelled.
D. They can tell customers where to find what they want.
34. What does Beshry think of the technology applied in Amazon Go stores
A. It is far more expensive than their smart shopping carts.
B. It has attracted many more retailers than before.
C. It may increase the cost of running a large grocery store greatly.
D. It is likely to help retailers to think differently.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. The New Technology Promotes Retail Sales B. AI-powered Cameras Are Used in Retail Stores
C. Artificial Intelligence Affects the Future Job Market D. Smart Shopping Carts Will Let You Ski p the Line
第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ambivalence(矛盾心理) refers to the frustrating and all-too-common experience of being“on the fence” about making some change. For example, you must have said,“I should start exercising, but it's tough to find the time.” 36________ Yet how often do we view ambivalence as some sort of interloper(干涉者), an unwanted and unexpected roadblock on the path to a better life
37________ When we lack understanding about the uncertainty, our ability to effectively resolve it becomes limited. Furthermore, without a clear understanding of the underlying reasons, we risk employing harmful labels that may conveniently but inaccurately explain the reason for our inaction and that of others.“I must be lazy.”“She has no self-discipline.”
A helpful standpoint for us to better understand the roots of indecisiveness comes from a research-based therapy approach called motivational interviewing. 38________ You can also make a difference via this method, no matter whether you decide to eat less junk food, lose weight, or reduce screen time.
From a motivational interviewing viewpoint, the root of ambivalence is related to the extent of importance and confidence in making a change. If we don't feel strongly that it's important to make a change or we lack confidence in being able to take the necessary steps,chances are very high that we will waver(动摇) on moving forward. 39 ________
The widespread presence of ambivalence in the face of change is commonly present in human life. It's true for us, and it's true for others, including our family members and friends, and those we encounter and serve in our professional lives. 40 ________ By doing this, we can more clearly see and skillfully address the root causes of ambivalence.
A. And the opposite of that is also true.
B. It' ll be problematic if we misinterpret ambivalence.
C. Thus, we' ll feel highly motivated to make the change.
D. Think about a kind of behavior you' ve been hesitant to change.
E. It's been successfully applied to many cases of behavioral change.
F. Such internal swinging is common when it comes to behavioral change.
G. Acknowledging this fact is essential for overcoming harmful judgments and labels.

第二节(满分 25 分)
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。
Uncle Li's bookstore was a quiet island in the busy modern city. For many years, it had been a warm home for people who loved reading. The old wooden sign above the door read“Li’ s Books” in dark red letters. Time seemed to slow down the moment people opened a book there. Now, it was going to close.
The news made Tom, a quiet high school student who had grown up reading in the comfortable corners of the bookstore, feel very sad. He had spent many years reading in the cozy chairs of the shop. The smell of old paper felt like his own childhood, watching him grow up. He couldn't imagine the street without the store's warm, friendly light.
When people in the neighborhood heard the news, everyone looked worried. The reason for the closure was that a large development company had made a generous offer to buy the building for its potential as a trendy coffee house, a profitable
upgrade. To the company, it was just business. Uncle Li was getting old and tired. He told Tom,“Maybe it's time to let go. Young people today don't read as much as before.”
He sighed, resting his hand on an old storybook.“The World has moved on.” On the last Saturday before closing, Tom came early. His bag was full of things he had kept from the store: a colorful bookmark he got at 10 years old, a receipt from his
first book, and a photo of him and Uncle Li at a reading party. He picked up his favorite book,The Little Prince, from the shelf. Its cover was faded, but the pages were still in good shape. He saw Uncle Li was packing up everything.
注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Tom couldn't let the store close—— not without trying to change things. ___________________________________
With the help of the neighbors, Tom's plan to combine the bookstore and a coffee house began. _________________

【参考范文】
Dear Tom,
Happily knowing that you intend to travel in China during the winter vacation. I'm writing ardently to recommend a beautiful city—— Sanya to you.
Renowned in China, Sanya is a fabulous city in Hainan Province, boasting great beaches, clear blue sky and warm weather. Bathing yourself in the sunshine, you can enjoy swimming and try a wide range of water activities there. The Yalong Bay is a must-see place, where you can see the boundless sea view and take a lot of nice pictures.
Remember to bring your sunscreen and sun-block hat to protect yourself from the sun. And it's better to book a hotel in advance to avoid trouble. I hope you have a pleasant time in China!
Best wishes,
Li Hua
第二节
【参考范文】
Tom couldn't let the store close———— not without trying to change things. Tom mustered up his courage and approached Uncle Li, laying out the well-kept bookmark, the faded photo, and his dog-eared copy of The LittlePrince on the packing box.“This bookstore is more than a place of business,” he said earnestly,“it's a community hub where generations have found comfort and inspiration.” He then proposed a plan of combining the bookstore and a coffee house, launching a series of weekend reading workshops and inviting local students to share their favorite stories. Moved by Tom's passion and practical idea, Uncle Li paused his packing, a flicker of hope rekindling in his weary eyes. Tom then hurried to spread the idea with the neighbors who promised to support him wholeheartedly.
With the help of the neighbors, Tom's plan to combine the bookstore and a coffee house began. They designed eye-catching flyers and distributed them around the neighborhood. People donated furniture, painted the walls together, and set up a small coffee bar with simple machines. Some helped promote the new bookstore online, while others brought in books and coffee beans. To their surprise, many young people came to visit, attracted by the warm mix of books and coffee. In the end,
Uncle Li's Books stayed open, still a quiet island in the city, warmer and more lively than ever. Witnessing the renewed energy, Uncle Li made up his mind to keep the store running. Tom beamed with pride, knowing that he had breathed new life into the place that had shaped his love for reading.

W: So do you want to leave New York City one day
M: Sure. I want to go to Chicago and live there for a couple of years. Then I want to go to some Asian countries. Do you like living in different cities
W: No, I love New York and I just want to settle down here.

M: Many of us watched the 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cleveland on Saturday night. Iknow I did. I'm here to interview Joan Jett, who was honored that night. Welcome, Jo
an, and congratulations on your honor.
W: Thank you!
M: So your biggest hit was“I Love Rock ’n’ Roll” in 1982. What do you like about rock and roll
W: It's a feeling, an emotion. You don't think about it. If you start thinking about rock ’n’ roll, you won't get it.That's when it gets boring.
M: You are also known for making it okay to be a female rocker. You definitely broke some ground there. You were accepted by even the craziest male rock stars.
W: Yeah, I was just being me. I wore black leather and jeans. I had long, blond hair. And I named my band the Blackhearts.
M: Three of your albums hit the Top 20——“I Love Rock ’n’ Roll”,“Album”, and“Up Your Alley”. But you also covered other artists' songs, right
W: Yeah, Gary Glitter, Tommy James, Sly and the Family Stone... They couldn't figure out what we were doing, but they liked it.
M: Your attitude and choices are a major influence on other female rockers.
W: I'm not done yet. Stay tuned. I can still get on stage, play the guitar, and sing!

Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch painter. He was born in Zundert, Netherlands in 1853. Growing up, van Gogh was very poor. In fact, he had to leave school to find work when he was only 15. His job was selling art from a London gallery. He didn't start making his own paintings until 1880. Van Gogh painted often through the last decade of his life, but his struggles with mental illness made it difficult for him to work. In 1888, he cut off his own ear. A few months later, he decided to move into a psychiatric hospital so that he could recover. While living there, he made the iconic painting The Starry Night. Van Gogh's work is very well-known today, but almost nobody knew his name when he was alive.

Born in Zambia and raised in Portland, 25-year-old Ashkùlù Songolo is the son of Congolese refugees—a background that, as he says, has deeply shaped his life choices. In the beginning, Songolo planned to study international relations at Stanford University with a focus on Africa, followed by law school and a potential career as a professor of African history. However, his career path took an unexpected turn after spending the summer of2023 as an intern(实习生) at Marché Noir Lomé-Paris, a French fashion boutique in Paris during the Haute Couture Week.
“I' ve always been interested in clothes. I admired how my parents, aunts, and uncles dressed, and I observed how people combined and matched different pieces,” Songolo explains.“But I never really saw fashion as a possible career. During Haute Couture Week,though, seeing people from diverse backgrounds all drawn to the same brand and viewing fashion as a unifying force made me reconsider.”
Fast-forward three years, Songolo, who has launched his own brand, Lutindo, has fully committed to his fashion career. The brand combines traditional cultural clothing with modern designs, ranging from casual wear to tailored suits and dresses. Many of his creations are inspired by Congolese aesthetics, and he aims to create more opportunities for people to engage with African culture through fashion, describing Lutindo not just as a brand but as a celebration where people can express their identity and heritage with love.
“My dream is to develop creative industries, starting in Congo and then expanding across Africa. By 2050, Africa is expected to have the largest youth population in the world,but I don't think enough is being done to create jobs for them.” His vision is to establish manufacturing in Congo and generate employment opportunities.
24. What initially influenced Ashkùlù Songolo's career planning
A. His research on immigrant youth engagement.
B. His experience at Paris Haute Couture Week.
C. His Congolese refugee family background.
D. His interest in clothes and fashion from a young age.
25. What made Ashkùlù Songolo consider fashion as a career during his Paris internship
A. The chance to attend Haute Couture Week.
B. Seeing fashion bond people from diverse backgrounds.
C. The opportunity to work at a fashion boutique.
D. Observing how his family members dressed.
26. What is the main goal of Ashkùlù Songolo's brand, Lutindo
A. To involve people in African culture through fashion.
B. To become the most popular fashion brand globally.
C. To focus only on traditional Congolese clothing.
D. To compete with major international fashion brands.
27. Which of the following can best describe Ashkùlù Songolo
A. Still waters run deep.
B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. One good turn deserves another.
D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C
We have a problem, and the strange thing is that we not only know about it, but also celebrate it. Just today, someone boasted(自夸) to me that she was so busy she's averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks. She wasn't complaining; she was proud of the fact. She is not alone.
Why are rational(理性的) people so irrational in their behavior The answer is that we' re in the midst of a bubble(泡沫). I call it“The More Bubble”.
The nature of bubbles is that something is overvalued until-- eventually—the bubble bursts, and we' re left wondering why we were so irrational in the first place. The thing we' re overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all, having it all, achieving
it all.
This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends: smart phones,social media, and extreme consumerism(消费主义). The result is not just information overload, but opinion overload. We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and, therefore, what we should be doing. In the process, we have been sold a bill of goods: that success means being supermen and superwomen who can get it all done. Of course, we boasted about being busy— it's code for being successful and important.
And our answer to the problem of more is always more. We need more technology to help us create more technologies. We need to move our workload to free up our own time to do yet even more.
Luckily, there is a solution to asking for more: asking for less, but better. A growing number of people are making this change. I call these people Essentialists. These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else. These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they are not working).They create technology-free zones in their homes. They trade time on Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them. Instead of running to different meetings, they put space on their plans to get important work done.
So we have two choices: We can be among the last people caught up in“The More Bubble”, or we can join the growing community of Essentialists and get more of what matters in our one precious life.
28. When the woman said she only slept for four hours a night for two weeks, she .
A. was unsatisfied with her lifestyle B. was asking for suggestions
C. knew few people were like her D. took pride in doing so
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The cause and result of“The More Bubble”. B. The advantages of“The More Bubble”.
C. The solutions to“The More Bubble”. D. The value of“The More Bubble”.
30. According to the text, Essentialists are those who .
A. prefer to change frequently B. give up certain things for what matters in life
C. are tired of information and opinions D. are eager to become successful and important
31. What's the author's attitude towards“The More Bubble”
A. Supportive. B. Undecided. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
D
Tired of standing in line Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. Everyone from Amazon to Silicon Valley start-ups is trying to eliminate lines in retail(零售) stores.
Amazon has opened 24 of its Amazon Go stores, which use cameras and artificial intelligence(AI) to see what you' ve taken off shelves and charge you as you walk out. Some start-ups are closely copying Amazon's approach to using AI-powered cameras fixed in ceilings. But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts. These companies have added cameras and sensors(传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you' ve placed in them. A built-in scale weighs items, in case you have to pay by the pound for an item. Customers pay by using a credit card, or through
an online payment system. When customers exit the store, a green light on the shopping cart indicates that their orders are complete, and they' re charged.
The start-ups behind the smart shopping carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it's much easier to add technology to the shopping cart than to an entire store. Amazon Go stores rely on hundreds of cameras in the ceiling. The shelves also include sensors to tell when an item is removed. Ahmed Beshry, cofounder of Caper, believes the technology to run Amazon Go is too expensive to use in a large grocery store. Neither Caper nor Veeve has said how much their smart shopping carts will cost, making it difficult to compare the different formats.Shariq Siddiqui, CEO of Veeve, said he's finding increased interest from
retailers given Amazon's steady expansion of Amazon Go since the first Amazon Go store opened in Seattle in 2018.“We' re always happy when Amazon is doing something,” Siddiqui said.“They force retailers to get out of their old-school thinking.”
Each time a business uses artificial intelligence and cameras, it raises questions about customer privacy and the impact on jobs. Beshry notes that the cameras in his smart shopping cart point down into the cart, so only customers' hands and part of their arms will be captured(拍摄) by cameras.
32. Which of the following best explains“eliminate” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Shift. B. Break. C. Extend. D. Remove.
33. What do we know about the smart shopping carts
A. They are linked to the cameras fixed in the ceilings.
B. They are able to recognize purchases placed in them.
C. They flash the green light when the order is cancelled.
D. They can tell customers where to find what they want.
34. What does Beshry think of the technology applied in Amazon Go stores
A. It is far more expensive than their smart shopping carts.
B. It has attracted many more retailers than before.
C. It may increase the cost of running a large grocery store greatly.
D. It is likely to help retailers to think differently.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. The New Technology Promotes Retail Sales B. AI-powered Cameras Are Used in Retail Stores
C. Artificial Intelligence Affects the Future Job Market D. Smart Shopping Carts Will Let You Ski p the Line

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ambivalence(矛盾心理) refers to the frustrating and all-too-common experience of being“on the fence” about making some change. For example, you must have said,“I should start exercising, but it's tough to find the time.” 36________ Yet how often do we view ambivalence as some sort of interloper(干涉者), an unwanted and unexpected roadblock on the path to a better life
37________ When we lack understanding about the uncertainty, our ability to effectively resolve it becomes limited. Furthermore, without a clear understanding of the underlying reasons, we risk employing harmful labels that may conveniently but inaccurately explain the reason for our inaction and that of others.“I must be lazy.”“She has no self-discipline.”
A helpful standpoint for us to better understand the roots of indecisiveness comes from a research-based therapy approach called motivational interviewing. 38________ You can also make a difference via this method, no matter whether you decide to eat less junk food, lose weight, or reduce screen time.
From a motivational interviewing viewpoint, the root of ambivalence is related to the extent of importance and confidence in making a change. If we don't feel strongly that it's important to make a change or we lack confidence in being able to take the necessary steps,chances are very high that we will waver(动摇) on moving forward. 39 ________
The widespread presence of ambivalence in the face of change is commonly present in human life. It's true for us, and it's true for others, including our family members and friends, and those we encounter and serve in our professional lives. 40 ________ By doing this, we can more clearly see and skillfully address the root causes of ambivalence.
A. And the opposite of that is also true.
B. It' ll be problematic if we misinterpret ambivalence.
C. Thus, we' ll feel highly motivated to make the change.
D. Think about a kind of behavior you' ve been hesitant to change.
E. It's been successfully applied to many cases of behavioral change.
F. Such internal swinging is common when it comes to behavioral change.
G. Acknowledging this fact is essential for overcoming harmful judgments and labels.

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。
Uncle Li's bookstore was a quiet island in the busy modern city. For many years, it had been a warm home for people who loved reading. The old wooden sign above the door read“Li’ s Books” in dark red letters. Time seemed to slow down the moment people opened a book there. Now, it was going to close.
The news made Tom, a quiet high school student who had grown up reading in the comfortable corners of the bookstore, feel very sad. He had spent many years reading in the cozy chairs of the shop. The smell of old paper felt like his own childhood, watching him grow up. He couldn't imagine the street without the store's warm, friendly light.
When people in the neighborhood heard the news, everyone looked worried. The reason for the closure was that a large development company had made a generous offer to buy the building for its potential as a trendy coffee house, a profitable
upgrade. To the company, it was just business. Uncle Li was getting old and tired. He told Tom,“Maybe it's time to let go. Young people today don't read as much as before.”
He sighed, resting his hand on an old storybook.“The World has moved on.” On the last Saturday before closing, Tom came early. His bag was full of things he had kept from the store: a colorful bookmark he got at 10 years old, a receipt from his
first book, and a photo of him and Uncle Li at a reading party. He picked up his favorite book,The Little Prince, from the shelf. Its cover was faded, but the pages were still in good shape. He saw Uncle Li was packing up everything.
注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Tom couldn't let the store close—— not without trying to change things. ___________________________________

Dear Tom,
Happily knowing that you intend to travel in China during the winter vacation. I'm writing ardently to recommend a beautiful city—— Sanya to you.
Renowned in China, Sanya is a fabulous city in Hainan Province, boasting great beaches, clear blue sky and warm weather. Bathing yourself in the sunshine, you can enjoy swimming and try a wide range of water activities there. The Yalong Bay is a must-see place, where you can see the boundless sea view and take a lot of nice pictures.
Remember to bring your sunscreen and sun-block hat to protect yourself from the sun. And it's better to book a hotel in advance to avoid trouble. I hope you have a pleasant time in China!
Best wishes,
Li Hua
第二节
【参考范文】
Tom couldn't let the store close———— not without trying to change things. Tom mustered up his courage and approached Uncle Li, laying out the well-kept bookmark, the faded photo, and his dog-eared copy of The LittlePrince on the packing box.“This bookstore is more than a place of business,” he said earnestly,“it's a community hub where generations have found comfort and inspiration.” He then proposed a plan of combining the bookstore and a coffee house, launching a series of weekend reading workshops and inviting local students to share their favorite stories. Moved by Tom's passion and practical idea, Uncle Li paused his packing, a flicker of hope rekindling in his weary eyes. Tom then hurried to spread the idea with the neighbors who promised to support him wholeheartedly.
With the help of the neighbors, Tom's plan to combine the bookstore and a coffee house began. They designed eye-catching flyers and distributed them around the neighborhood. People donated furniture, painted the walls together, and set up a small coffee bar with simple machines. Some helped promote the new bookstore online, while others brought in books and coffee beans. To their surprise, many young people came to visit, attracted by the warm mix of books and coffee. In the end,
Uncle Li's Books stayed open, still a quiet island in the city, warmer and more lively than ever. Witnessing the renewed energy, Uncle Li made up his mind to keep the store running. Tom beamed with pride, knowing that he had breathed new life into the place that had shaped his love for reading.

W: I'm not done yet. Stay tuned. I can still get on stage, play the guitar, and sing!

Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch painter. He was born in Zundert, Netherlands in 1853. Growing up, van Gogh was very poor. In fact, he had to leave school to find work when he was only 15. His job was selling art from a London gallery. He didn't start making his own paintings until 1880. Van Gogh painted often through the last decade of his life, but his struggles with mental illness made it difficult for him to work. In 1888, he cut off his own ear. A few months later, he decided to move into a psychiatric hospital so that he could recover. While living there, he made the iconic painting The Starry Night. Van Gogh's work is very well-known today, but almost nobody knew his name when he was alive.
