Repair Cafe

What is a Repair Cafe?

Repair Cafes are free meeting places and they're all about repairing things （together）. Visitors bring their broken items from home. There, they'll find tools and materials to help make any repairs they need. On clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, toys etc. They5ll also find expert volunteers, with repair skills in all kinds of fields. Together with the specialists they start making their repairs. Ifs an ongoing learningprocess.

Why a Repair Cafe?

We throw away vast amounts of stuffy even things with almost nothing wrong, and which could get a second life after a simple repair. The trouble is, lots of people have forgotten that they can repair things themselves. Especially younger generations no longer know how to do that. This is a threat to a lasting future and to the circular economy, in which raw materials can be reused again and again.

Thafs why there5s a Repair Cafe! People with repair skills get the appreciation they deserve. Invaluable practical skills are passed on. Things are being used for longer and don't have to be thrown away. This reduces the volume of raw materials and energy needed to make newproducts.

Join the Repair Cafe!

•All Repair Cafes need handy volunteers to act as repair experts, especially those handy with clothing, electrical appliances, bicycles andfurniture.

•Repair Cafes often have room for volunteers who can act as host or hostess. In this role, youprovide everyone with coffee and tea and you help new visitors at the reception table.

•There is frequently demand for people skilled at computers. You keep the website of your Repair Cafe up to date and feature your initiative on Instagram, Facebook andTwitter.

21.What can visitors do in a RepairCafe?

A.Get free second-handitems.

C. Repair things with expert help.

22.What is the aim of a RepairCafe?

A.To preserve valuableitems.

C. To pass down traditional customs.

B.Buy repair tools andmaterials.

D. Exchange broken items for new ones.

B. To promote the repair profession.

D. To contribute to a sustainable future.

23.Which of the following is a suitable volunteer in the RepairCafe?

A.Tom, who is an online salespromoter.

C. Lily, who is an experienced receptionist.

B. Jack, who likes making tea and coffee.

D. Amy, who longs to pick up repair skills.

When Robert Taylor got the idea to liquify hand soap（肥皂）,he knew he had found a big idea — and so did everyone else.

In the late 70's and early 80's, Taylor's small company, The Minnetonka Corporation, had developed a small reputation for coming up with innovative ideas like fruit-scented shampoo, scented candles, and bubble baths. Others saw these ideas as winners also, and the ideas were quickly copied by larger competitors like Procter & Gamble. Soon after the liquid soap, Softsoap, hit store shelves, it became the bestselling soap on the market. And while many people might enjoy this kind of success, Taylor knew all it meant was that his competitors were now breathing down his neck.

Instead of competing with the “big dogs" head-to-head, Taylor stuck to what he was good at and looked for a more innovative solution. He went to the company that manufactured（制造）the plastic pumps used in his product and placed an order for 100 million units.

One of the benefits of being first to market is that Taylor knew what kind of manufacturing options were available for the product. At the time, there was only one company who could make plastic pumps that could sustain mass-market production. By purchasing such a substantial amount of plastic pumps, he prevented them from supplying his competitors. While it didn't eliminate the competition, it gave him exclusive control of the liquid soap market for an entireyear.

Robert Taylor's bold move bought something money usually can't: time. For a full year, while competitors struggled to find another manufacturer or make their own pumps, Softsoap sat alone on store shelves. By the time the big players finally caught up, the brand had already sunk its roots deep into the market. Taylor never tried to outspend Procter & Gamble; he simply outthought them. And when Colgate-Palmolive came knocking in 1987 with a $61-million offer, he walked away with a fortune - proof that in business, the smartest move isn't always the loudest one, but the one that quietly shuts the door behind you.

24.What was The Minnetonka Corporation knownfor?

A.Launchingcreative products.B. Adopting flexible sales strategies.

C. Cooperating withlargecompanies.D. Conducting targeted market research.

25.What was Taylor worried about after Softsoap reached themarket?

A.It would makelittleprofit.B. It would be in short supply.

C. It would bebadly received.D. It would face fiercecompetition.

26.Why did Taylor order 100 million units of plasticpumps?

A.To secure a lowerprice.

C. To block access to the pumps.

27.What can be a suitable title for thetext?

A.Rising fromNothing

C. Liquid Soap Making aHit

B.To mass-produce liquid soap.

D. To start a manufacturingcompany.

B. Outsmarting the Giants

D. Small Business Doing Well

Two years ago, "fix what the AI got wrong" wasn't a service anyone advertised. Today, this kind of work is listed as a separate job on freelance（自由职业）platforms. For independent designers, writers, and editors, AI cleanup work — fixing and improving low-quality Al-generated content —— has become a new source of income.

Graphic（图形的）design accounts for more of the Freelancer.com postings than any other category, with video editing, proofreading, and content writing rounding out the top four. According to Freelancer.com chief executive Matt Barrie, the typical client behind this demand is a small business owner who used an AI tool to produce a fest first draft and then discovered they couldn't turn it into something usable on their own. Whatever time the AI draft saved gets spent right back on fixing it.

That dynamic creates a mismatch in how clients expect the fix to be priced. A Florida-based illustrator, Todd Van Linda, was offered roughly $500 to correct thirteen to fifteen Al-generated illustrations for a children's book. The client had worked out this price assuming each picture would only take around 15 minutes to fix. But too often, Al-generated illustrations turn out to be muchmore time-consuming than expected. So Van Linda turned down the project; his minimum rate is $65 per hour and won't negotiate belowit.

Opinions differ on how long this new type of work sticks around. Kym Dunbar, an Australian writer and editor, expects most of this corrective work to taper offover the next five to ten years as the underlying AI models get better. A graphic designer based in Spain, however, predicts that AI will be able to match her logo and packaging work within a year or two.

Yet there is another related trend worth noticing. Van Linda stepped away from AI cleanup jobs late last year, and since then, clients who were dissatisfied with Al-generated results have come back to hire him for original, hand-drawn work instead.

28.What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph1?

A.AI services are becomingunreliable.

B.There is a big increase in freelanceincome.

C.There is a growing demand for freelancejobs.

D.AI cleanup work is emerging as a newservice.

29.According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between.

A.the AI cleanup rates and the original workrates

B.the time AI drafts save and the time to fixthem

C.the pay clients offer and the pay freelancerscharge

D.the quality of AI drafts and the quality clientsexpect

30.What does the underlined phrase " taper off" in paragraph 4mean?

A.fadeaway.B. Catch on.C.Take shape.D. Pay off.

31.What does the author imply in the lastparagraph?

A.Clients become harderto satisfy.B. Al-generated content is of littlevalue.

C. AI cleanup jobs are here tostay.D. Original work is winning clients back.

D

Think about the last time you instantly liked someone because they reminded you of a friend, or felt oddly tense around a stranger who seemed “different." That premature judgment probably felt personal and specific, but psychology suggests something bigger is happening: your brain is quietly sorting the world into people who are with you, and people who are not. It is fast, and you do not even notice it happening.

This “minimal group" effect is not a modern glitch（缺陷）.It is an ancient mental shortcut built

into how human groups survived. Imagine living tens of thousands of years ago in a small band of hunter-gatherers. Your survival depends on the people around you: the ones who share resources, warn you of danger, and defend you when things go bad. In that world, quickly recognizing who is “one of us“ could literally mean the difference between life and death. Trusting the ingroup andbeing cautious of outsiders was, in many contexts, a survival strategy, not a moralfailing.

One of the most striking findings in social psychology is how little it takes to set off “us versus them^^ behavior. In classic lab experiments, people are randomly split into groups - based on something as meaningless as preference for a painting - and then asked to assign rewards. Over and over, participants favor their own group, even when it costs them the chance to maximize total benefit foreveryone.

The “minimal group" effect shows that group loyalty switches on with almost no substance behind it. You do not need deep history or real conflict; your brain just needs a label. That is a bit terrifying, because it means biases can form around almost anything: sports teams, fandoms, brands, even whether you prefer cats or dogs.

But it is also hopeful: the lines between "us" and "them" are not carved in stone; they are changeable. One practical strategy is to intentionally expose yourself to stories and voices from outside your usual circles. Another concrete move is to work with someone from a "them" group on a project. Over time, your idea of "us" will grow into something much larger than the version you started with.

32.What do we know about the judgment mentioned in paragraph1?

A.Itoccurs randomly.B. It happens automatically.

C. It is specific tocertainpeople.D. It is based on careful reasoning.

33.What does paragraph 2 mainlytalkabout?

A.The origin of the “minimal group"effect.

B.The survival challenges ofhunter-gatherers.

C.The ancient methods of recognizinginsiders.

D.The drawbacks of the "minimal group"effect.

34.According to classic lab experiments, what is the key to grouployalty?

A.Commongoals.B. Similar preferences.

C. The actof grouping.D. The sharing ofrewards.

35.What does the author suggest readers do in the lastparagraph?

A.Expand their circleof "us"B. Distinguish "us" from "them"

C. Identify hidden biasesin groups.D. Make their stories and voices heard.

Can you exercise your brain the way you exerciseyour body?36We solve crossword puzzles, download brain-training apps, and take up new hobbies in the hope of preserving our memory and thinking skills. Increasingly, researchers are pointing to another activity that challenges the brain in a particularly powerful way: learning a newlanguage.

Unlike many activities that exercise a single mental skill, language learning engages almost everymajorcognitive（认知的）systematonce.Itcallsonmemory,attention,problem-solving, pattern recognition, and mental flexibility.37

Onereasonscientistsarefascinatedbybilingualism（双语能力）isitsrelationshipwithcognitive reserve, which is the brain?s ability to cope with age-related changes while continuing to function effectively.38If one road is blocked, a well-connected network offers plenty of other ways to reach the destination. Likewise, a brain with greater cognitive reserve may be better abletocounteractdamage. Studieshave foundthat bilingualsmayexperience thesymptoms ofdementia（老

年痴呆）several years later than their monolingual（单语的）peers.

The encouraging news is that these benefits are not limited to people who learned two languages inchildhood.39They form new neural pathways as they master unfamiliar sounds, grammar, and vocabulary. With repeated use, those pathways become more efficient, allowing the brain to process information with increasingease.

40_Genetics, education, physical activity, sleep and diet all play important roles.Butlearning another language stands out because it challenges the mind, rewards curiosity, fosters human connection, and may even help build a brain thafs better prepared for the yearsahead.

A.Adults enjoy the potential aswell.

B.The answer is notstraight-forward.

C.No single activity can promise a healthy brainforever.

D.Few everyday activities ask quite so much of thebrain.

E.As we age, many of us look for ways to stay mentallysharp.

F.Think of cognitive reserve as alternative routes through a busycity.

G.The benefits of learning language can transfer beyond languageitself.

This year's state fair finally came to an end, and to Molly's greatest delight, her family's homemade apple sauce claimed the first prize. Staring at the shining medal in her hand, Molly couldn't help recalling the special Apple Day.

Molly woke up early that day. A cool breeze blew down from the mountains and chilled her feet. Downstairs, Dad dragged the big blackened pot out of the basement, and then handed Molly a basket. “Pick enough so we can share our sauce this year!^^ Mom called from the door.

The apple orchard（果园）was a short walk away. Apples hung on branches, gleaming in the sun.

Dad always said their sauce was "almost the best" Almost. And every year, it was the same kind of apple, the same recipe, the same second place. There was just something missing from their sauce, Molly thought as she picked. If only they could figure out what it was, they might win the first place this year.

CRASH! Molly fell to the ground. It was Sam, her messy little cousin who lived next door. He had run into her and knocked her over. "Molly, I came to pick apples, too!” He waved a dirty old bag above his head.

Molly shouted at Sam to pick apples from an ancient tree, whose tiny apples were too sour to eat.

Molly sighed. She hoped Sam would stay out of the way. But Sam did not care. He stuffed his bag full of apples anyway.

Back home, Dad got the apple sauce mill（碾磨机）ready, which was used to turn cooked apples into smooth sauce while Molly washed the apples, which were then poured into the big pot on the stove（炉子）.Mom stood by the stove, ready to stir the pot. Suddenly, Sam shook his bag of tiny sour apples into the boiling pot, too.

注意：

（1）续写词数应为150左右。

Paragraph 1. "No!” Molly screamed, her heart sinking as the sour apples mixed with the sweet ones.
