It was a cold May morning when I received an email from an old friend inviting me to join a 10-day all-girls surf trip. I knew I had to say yes. The trip seemed simple enough. 10 women aged 30 to 45, all complete strangers, were to meet on the coast of Portugal to try something new: surfing in the Atlantic Ocean. I have always loved traveling, so I eagerly sent an email to my boss asking for time off to make the trip.

If there's one thing I've learned over my past 33 years, it's that adults typically spend their days mastering the things they've done before. It seems like we pride ourselves on becoming experts in whatever field we've fallen into, knowing more about less. Now, in theory, this is a great strategy, as it allows you to become really good at one particular thing, but it also kind of ends up leaving some skills lacking.

I met my new surfing companions on the grass of the hotel lawn in a small surf town called Ericeira. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a strong desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow.

The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to ride.

Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn't matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.

Learning a new skill taught me the humility(谦虚) that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you've been working on. While surfing might not be my lifelong passion, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life. You never know what you're capable of if you don't go out there and try.

24. What inspired the author to join the surf trip?

A. Her love for seashore surfing.

B. Her desire to make new friends.

C. Her need to take a break from work.

D. Her passion for exploring something new.

25. What does the author think of adults' focusing on mastering one field?

A. It hurts one's pride.

B. It narrows one's potential.

C. It promotes one's career success.

D. It broadens one's view of the world.

26. Which words can best describe the author's surfing experience?

A. Relaxing but dangerous.B. Tough and uninteresting.

C. Challenging but rewarding.D. Surprising and unforgettable.

27. What can be inferred about the author?

A. She used to lack confidence in herself.

B. She determined to become an expert surfer.

C. She discovered her lifelong passion after the trip.

D. She was more willing to try new experiences in life.

C

You hate me. You don't even know me and you hate me. Before we've even spoken, you hate me. At least that's how it feels on my end of the call as a female collections officer at a call center.

I dread the moment when I have to log on to our phone system first thing in the morning because I never know who is going to be on the other end of that call.

Sometimes it's an easy task. The caller is pleasant and has accepted personal responsibility for their debts, and we get through the phone call with ease. Then there are the ones who call in looking for a fight, or looking for someone to blame. Through the luck of the phone system, that person is me. 

I've had people who shout at me, call me horrible names, accuse me personally of taking their money and threaten me. Why? I think it's because I am invisible. I think I would be treated with the same level of disrespect if we were face to face. Fortunately for me, I have had years of experience in customer service, so I'm fairly rich in not letting the negative encounters bother me.

The biggest and most effective skill when it comes to the job is empathy (同感). I can appreciate the situation which the caller is in because I've been there.That's why I'm good at my job-I understand what you're going through, and I'm here to help.

Some days though, no matter how much I try to leave the stress behind when I hang up the phone, it stays with me. I may do some deep breathing, go for a quick walk or simply stick my head outside for a burst of fresh air. I do this so I don't carry that negativity on to my next call. That next call may be a person having the worst day of their life, but I don't want to ever be the one who makes it worse. We are all humans just trying to get by in life, which makes you and me equal. So please, the next time we talk, remember that.

28. What does the underlined word “dread” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Enjoy.B. Fear.C. Expect.D. Avoid.

29. Why does the author think some callers treat her badly?

A. They get angry too easily.

B. They blame her for their debts.

C. They do not see her as a real person.

D. They accuse her of taking their money.

30. Why does the author think she is good at her job?

A. She can offer callers best advice.

B. She is always respected by callers.

C. She can put herself in others' shoes.

D. She isn't easily influenced by negativity.

31. What is the author's main purpose in writing this text? 

A. To call for understanding of her job.

B. To explain why she is good at her job.

C. To introduce what she is responsible for.

D. To complain about her being treated badly.

D

Waterways are important for every country around the world. They provide not only water for everyday use but also routes for transport. However, due to industrial activity, many of them are now polluted.

Dakota Perry from the US has experienced water pollution first-hand. The 15-year-old high school girl told Alabama Local News that she spends a lot of time going on boat rides with her dad on the river behind their house. However, the river has become littered with plastic bags, bottles and cups. Perry wanted to clean up the water so she could continue to enjoy the river. So, with the help of her father, she designed a system to collect and remove rubbish in waterways.

In May, Perry put forward her solution at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair held in Georgia, US, and received a Judge's Award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for her project.

According to the Science News for Students website, her system was inspired by the Dutch Great Bubble (气泡) Barrier in Amsterdam, which creates a flow of bubbles that trap waste and directs it to a catchment system. But Perry tried to challenge herself and make her system more environment-friendly. She planned to create a curtain of bubbles that stretched the river diagonally(对角地). The curtain would stop the floating rubbish and then push it toward the shore. Once there, a conveyor run by a solar-powered battery would carry the waste to a dustbin.

In her backyard pool, Perry used an air compressor (压缩机) to send air through a pipe full of holes to create a stream of bubbles. She experimented with different amounts of pressure to make sure there would be enough bubbles to form a full curtain. “For the bubble system to actually work and collect rubbish,” she explained to Science News for Students, “I have to know how much pressure the air compressor is supposed to push out.” 

After she tested her system for collecting rubbish, Perry found that it worked better than expected. Next, she plans to work out how to use the power of the river to run the air compressor.

32. What motivated Perry to design a rubbish-collecting system?

A. Her father's encouragement.

B. Her desire to protect a nearby river.

C. A visit to a science and engineering fair.

D. An invention of a Dutch high school student.

33. What can we know about the rubbish-collecting system?

A. It was designed by Perry alone.

B. It makes power to run the air compressor.

C. It collects solar energy to remove rubbish.

D. It creates a bubble curtain to block rubbish.

34. What is the 5th paragraph mainly about?

A. Advantages of the system.

B. The way of testing the system.

C. The improvement on the system.

D. Challenges in the design process.

35. What kind of person is Perry?

A. Efficient and ambitious.B. Helpful and hardworking.

C. Responsible and creative.D. Professional and adventurous.

We all want to know what happiness means and try to find ways to help make our life better. Happiness-you know it when you see it, but it's hard to define. You might call it a sense of well-being, optimism or meaningfulness in life, although those could also be treated separately.36, we know that we want it, and that is just somehow good.

We also know that we don't always have control over our happiness. Research suggests that genetics may play a big role in our level of happiness, so some of us may start out at a disadvantage. On top of that, environmental factors can bring down mood and dry up our thirst for living. 37. Many studies have found a connection between psychological and physical well-being.

A 2022 review of more than 200 studies found a connection between positive psychological features, such as happiness, optimism and life satisfaction, and a lowered risk of heart disease.

38. If you have a good sense of well-being, it's easier to maintain good habits: exercising, eating a balanced diet and getting enough sleep.

39, and they do not provide hard evidence of cause and effect. But some researchers believe that positive mental states do have a direct effect on the body, perhaps by reducing damaging physical processes. For instance, they found that optimism is associated with lower levels of inflammation(炎症).

If what you mean by happiness is specifically “enjoyment of life”, there's newer evidence to support that, too. A study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal found that people aged 60 and over who said they enjoyed life less were more likely to develop disability over an 8-year period.40. This study does not prove that physical problems are caused by less enjoyment of life, but suggests a relationship.

Back then, I never connected it with the care that was at the42of everything she did.

But now, leaves were 43 , some dry and edged with brown, and many of the stems(茎) bare. It was a mark of how my mother can no longer attend to all the things that she lovingly cared for. I was so focused on the increasing 44 of her own care that her beloved plants had escaped my 45.

I began her old rounds, pouring water into the thirsty soil, and soon the plants 46. That's the thing about houseplants: They demand nothing. They wait quietly, no matter how 47 they are. But even after my best 48 , some of the plants couldn't survive. My mother's kind caregivers have since brought new ones to add to her 49 , and my father buys fresh flowers every week.

Though Alzheimer's disease50so much of her memory, her desire to care is still there. I would guide her down the steps to water the plants herself. I watched as her shaking hands picked the brown leaves. Each time, she smiled up at me with51satisfaction because being able to52something is still what brings her the greatest joy.

Ilook at plants53these days. I see them as my mother does:54reminders of the need for kindness toward all living things. It is clear to me that the things we spend a lifetime 55 are never truly lost and the love she has planted in me still blooms(开花).

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。

Isla and I were studying in the same school. We had been friends since we were six years old. I took Isla as a smart, funny friend, but not all students at our school did, especially the girl students. Girls in our school wore fashionable branded clothes, but Isla sewed hers and her curly hair and thick glasses made her look like a fish, which made her stand out like a sore thumb(招眼).

For me, sometimes I felt embarrassed to be around Isla, particularly when students said rude words about her hair, clothes, glasses -even about the fact that she got really good grades.Isla always seemed to be able to ignore what other students thought, but I couldn't. I began to distance myself from her.

Our school had a tradition - there was a talent show every spring. Students would sing, dance, play musical instruments, and do whatever they could to show their talents. Being our graduation season in this senior school, this year's talent show would be obviously different. It would be a huge night.

Ava, who was an outgoing girl, invited me to be on her dance team. “We win the talent show every year, and we expect a satisfactory graduation this year,” Ava said to me excitedly. “We need a new dancer. But only you, not her!” Ava pointed to someone behind me.

I didn't need to turn around to see who she meant. “Oh, I see,” I said quietly. Ava had hardly headed out when someone tapped on my shoulder. It was Isla. When I saw her confused face, it was like waking up from a dream. Isla asked me eagerly, “Emily, are you going to take part in the talent show?” I hesitated without response. “That's great, Emily!” Isla told me without waiting for my answer that she was also going to participate this year. I couldn't believe what I had heard. I started to worry about her when I imagined that she was in front of a huge crowd, and that everybody would laugh at her.

Time passed quickly, and I had barely seen Isla since then. For me, I had to practice hard every day with Ava and the team to keep up since the other dancers had already known the steps.
