Last summer, on her way to work in Minneapolis, Katie Steller stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting
with a sign asking for help. She 1 down her window, shouting, “Do you want a 2 haircut right now?”
Getting a yes, she pulled off the road, took a red chair from her car, and helped the man cut his hair. After Steller
was 3 , the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he laughed.
To date, Steller has given such haircuts to people all living on the margins (边缘) around the city, and she is
keenly aware of the 4 of her cleanup job.
A haircut changed Steller’s life: As a teen, with a severe disease, her hair got thinned. So, her mother arranged for
Steller’s first professional haircut, where she felt 5 when talked to like a person. After that, Steller knew how to
help people feel the way she’d felt that day. “I want it to be a gateway, to show 6 , but also to get to know people.”
In 2009, she began Red Chair Project, 7 out to people on the streets. What breaks Steller’s heart is just how
lonely people look, so she listens to their stories of loss and struggle to get back on their feet. The attention 8
works.
And it all began with a 9 in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the
world matters,” says Steller, “I can’t fix people’s problems, but maybe I can help them feel less 10 for a
moment.”

When facing the task of deciding your major, you should remember that the decision you make doesn’t mean you
are only destined for one path.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF AS YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION
●Do I have a career in mind?
Although your major does not necessarily dictate your career, some jobs do require a certain field of study. If you
have your future career in mind, do your research and find out the education requirements. If you are at a loss with
what you want to do, go ahead and research different career fields. A certain job might pique your interest, and that
could prompt you to pick a certain major.
●How much does money matter?
Some majors do have higher potential earnings than others. If earning a lot of money is a primary goal for you,
search for majors that pay off well. Feel free to reach out to the Career Center for more information on higher-earning
majors and careers.
●What do I love to do?
If you love what you study, you will be more likely to pay full attention to your classes. which will probably lead
to better grades and valuable connections in the field. Also you will find your college years more fulfilling if you
cultivate your passion!
TIPS FOR DISCOVERING WHAT INTERESTS YOU
●Explore different courses!
Don’t take random free electives just to meet the credit requirement for graduation. Explore different subjects! By
branching out of what you know, you may discover an unexpected aptitude for sport management, or realize that you
love psychology! Maybe an elective course could lead you to your major.
3 / 10●Meet with a CDC staff member!
Your Career Development Center (CDC) is eager to help you! Meet with a peer Career Ambassador to talk about
your career goals and the options for you. Also consider scheduling an appointment with a professional staff member to

As a student, I spent many days and nights standing on a forested slope in the rain. I loved the outdoors, and it was
more like play than work. I was thrilled when I could connect what I saw to what I read. My ideas seemed to flow like
the stream I was trying to understand.
When I started my first teaching position, I no longer had the freedom to focus purely on research or think deeply
about any given topic. I was consumed by pressing management demands and my creative stream narrowed.
A decade later, I moved to a new university and was able to return to the topic I studied for my Ph. D．research. I
found that if I could be in the moment with my students and act as a sounding board for new ideas — and not be
distracted by my mid-career responsibilities — then I could play a part in their creative thought process.
Creativity crept back into my work life, but I hadn’t yet found a way to stimulate my own deep thinking. Another
decade had passed before I learned how to get my own creative stream flowing again.
After accepting a position in my hometown, I had a few months between jobs when I was as free as a bird. And
that’s when my first real post-Ph. D．eureka moment (顿悟) struck, while I was at a gym watching the rain fall onto a
lawn outside. I was able to visualize similar processes that I had been trying to understand. But it was even more
4 / 10thrilling because it was a type of thought that I worried had permanently dried up. It was clear that I needed to slow
down and experience the rain more often!
In this new job, I tried to heed (留心) this enlightenment. I made a point to think and write a little bit at home each
morning, in a room overlooking the large river. After that, I’d cycle to work along the banks, which helped me process
those ideas and remember my daily goal of being curious. Fun drove what I worked on. And soon enough, I had new
ideas to bring to the table.
I now encourage my students to disconnect and take time out to think, to play, to have fun with their research. And
to make these things a permanent habit in their lives. I also tell them to pay attention to the conditions and places that
foster their curiosity and ability to think deeply. By openly discussing creativity, I hope we can help the next generation
of scientists avoid losing it along the way, as I did.
24．What situation did the author find himself in when he started the first teaching position?
A．He lost interest in his research. B．He couldn’t think clearly anymore.
C．He was not as creative as before. D．He was heavily demanded by students.
25．What can we know about the author after he moved to a new university?
A．He helped students with their Ph. D．research.
B．He discovered a new topic for his mid-career.
C．He began to take on more career responsibilities.
D．He engaged himself in students’ thinking process.
26．How did the author feel during his free time in his hometown?
A．Energetic and proud. B．Inspired and refreshed.
C．Thrilled and supported. D．Curious and adventurous.
27．What can we learn from the author’s experience?
A．East or west, home is the best.
B．Small streams make great rivers.
C．Creativity is the mother of invention.
D．All work no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Humans are not the only fashionistas. Even small birds like tits (山雀) can follow colour trends. A study published
in Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology shows that, given the chance, they decorate their nests with this season’s
must-have colour.
5 / 10Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin were following up the work published in 1934 by Henry Smith Williams, an American
naturalist. He noticed that when he put various coloured balls of yarn (纱线) out in his garden, almost always one and
only one became popular that season for incorporation into local birds’ nests. But which particular colour was favoured
varied from season to season. This suggested that the colour chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by
others.
Williams’s work was, however, forgotten until Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin came across it while following up on a
different study. The birds they followed were part of a well-monitored population of blue, great and marsh tits in a
wood near the institute. Most birds in this wood carry transponders fitted to them. That allows the institute’s
researchers to keep track of a vast number of individuals by logging their arrival at dispensers (分配器).
One day in March 2021, Dr. Wild, Dr. Aplin and their collaborators deployed five RFID-enabled dispensers
loaded with wool rather than food. Each contained strands of two colours — either orange and pink or blue and purple
— but all were set to dispense only one of these. This remained so until at least one local nest was seen to include wool
from a dispenser. At that moment, the other colour was made available, too. As a control, Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin set up,
in a separate area, four further wool-dispensers, each of which provided two colours from the start.
Of 68 tits’ nests built that season in the experimental areas, 26 included wool from a dispenser. Of these, 18 were
constructed after both colours had become available from all dispensers. Even so, ten of those 18 included only the
colour of wool first chosen by a nest-builder. By contrast, all eight wool-bearing nests in the control zone contained a
mixture of colours — a statistically significant difference.
Tits, then, do seem to be “on trend” when it comes to nest-building materials. Why that should happen remains
obscure. Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin suspect the trendsetters are older birds, and that evolution favours younger ones
copying their elders, since those elders have evidently survived what fortune has to throw at a tit. Williams’s original
work, though, suggests such initial choices are arbitrary. A bit like those of the leaders of human fashions.
28．How did Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin build their study upon Williams’s earlier work?
A．By focusing on purple nest decoration materials.
B．By observing the same tit species in Williams’s garden.
C．By using tracking technology to test Williams’s finding.
D．By copying his experiment with the same coloured yarns.
29．What can be learned from the research of Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin?
A．They used RFID-enabled dispensers to observe the living habits of the birds.
B．They conducted a controlled experiment on the birds’ colour preferences.
C．Multicoloured wool strands were released together from the start.
D．Food was supplied to the birds through the dispensers.
6 / 1030．What does the word “obscure” underlined in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Unclear. B．Apparent.
C．Unexpected. D．Reasonable.
31．What is the purpose of this passage?
A．To call on people to protect the diverse species of tits.
B．To suggest that younger tits set the fashion for the season.
C．To inform that tits can be fashion followers just like humans.
D．To present some effective methods applied in scientific research.
D
The Power of a Smile
In a world where technology has become an integral part of our lives, it's easy to forget the simple pleasures that
come from human interaction. One such pleasure is the power of a smile. A smile is a universal language that
transcends cultural and linguistic barriers. It is a simple yet powerful gesture that can change the mood of a room,
brighten someone's day, and even improve one's own mental well-being.
The science behind smiling is fascinating. When we smile, our brain releases endorphins (内啡肽), which are
natural mood elevators. These endorphins help to reduce stress and create a sense of happiness and relaxation.
Moreover, smiling can also be contagious. Studies have shown that when one person smiles, it can trigger a response in
others to smile as well, creating a positive feedback loop.
However, in today's fast-paced world, people often forget to smile. The hustle and bustle of daily life can leave us
feeling stressed and disconnected from others. But it's important to remember that a smile can be a powerful tool for
connection. It can break the ice in social situations, ease tension in difficult conversations, and even help to build trust
and rapport.
In addition to its social benefits, smiling also has health benefits. Regular smiling can lower blood pressure, boost
the immune system, and even improve one's physical appearance. It's a natural anti-aging remedy that can make one
look younger and more approachable.
So, the next time you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, try smiling. It might just be the small act that
makes a big difference in your day and the days of those around you. Remember, the power of a smile is not just a
saying — it's a scientifically proven fact.
32．What is the main idea of the article?
A．The importance of technology in our lives.
B．The universal language of a smile and its benefits.
7 / 10C．The negative effects of a fast-paced lifestyle.
D．The role of endorphins in reducing stress.
33．According to the article, what happens in our brain when we smile?
A．We feel more stressed.
B．Our blood pressure increases.
C．We release chemicals that elevate our mood.
D．We become more prone to illness.
34．Why can smiling be considered contagious?
A．Because it's a cultural norm.
B．Because it's a natural anti-aging remedy.
C．Because it's a sign of good health.
D．Because it triggers a response in others to smile as well.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Make Sure Your Idea Doesn’t Die
Getting great ideas? It’s Easy. Following up on them is hard! 35 .
Ask “Why doesn’t this work”.
Although he might have had the idea for it, Steve Jobs didn’t just have the iPhone’s unique touch screen in a
single night. Instead, he thought about the present situation of smart phones and continually asked a single question:
“Why don’t they work?” 36 .
37 .
A good routine often helps you put your ideas into action. Toni Morrison, an outstanding writer, has a more
special routine centered on daylight. She rises at around 5:00 each morning to watch the dawn. For her, it’s important to
wake before the light and observe the transition(转变) into day. 38 . Whatever you choose as your morning
routine, consider it as the reliable framework that gives you the best idea.
Don’t fly alone.
When ideas meet in a shared physical or mental space, creative ideas are bound to happen—which is great.
Working in a shared physical space just might help you find your ideal creative partners. 39 . Besides, they
may provide detailed focus that might not be your strong suit. Of course, partners needn’t pursue everything together. A
creative conversation is more useful, which can set up a series of goals toward which the individual team members are
8 / 10free to work on their own.
A．Make full use of your spare time
B．Never ignore the power of routine
C．They can strengthen your confidence and give some valuable suggestions
D．This one little question helped him get from an idea to a practical solution
E．He makes a great contribution to “the look and feel of the product”
F．Here are some tips to make sure your great idea becomes a reality
G．She considers it a special moment that inspires her to write

The Grand Canal is a vast waterway system in China, running from Beijing in the north to Zhejiang province in
the south. It stretches for nearly 3,200 kilometers and passes through eight of the country’s provinces and
municipalities.
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the canal is the longest and oldest artificial river in the world. It has
played an important role in ensuring China’s economic prosperity and stability, and is in use today as a major means of
transportation.
The Beijing section of the Grand Canal is 82 km long. Along it, cultural relics and sites on both banks are
important symbols of culture and are considered a top priority for protection by the local government.
The city government has unveiled two development plans: the first is an implementation plan for the protection,
inheritance and utilization of the canal’s cultural values; the second is a construction plan for building a Grand
Canal-themed national cultural park.
The plan sets up three implementation milestones in the next five years. In 2020, efforts have been made to lay a
firm foundation for the construction of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park, with the Tongzhou section of the canal
open to navigation and a management mechanism of the park established. By 2023, significant progress is expected to
be made in coordinating the protection and utilization of cultural resources along the canal, with the national cultural
park basically set up. By 2025, the park will become a new cultural landmark in Beijing. The Grand Canal, with its
cultural resources put under protection and ecological conservation along its banks significantly improved, will
embrace improved cultural and tourism development. Cities along the canal by then will welcome further coordinated
or integrated development.
The Beijing section of the Grand Canal, a valued asset for the capital, is marked out as a river boasting rich
9 / 10cultural resources, ecological value, social benefits and economic potential. The capital is set to roll out more measures
to bring out the best in the canal.
40．According to the passage, what roles has the Grand Canal played?
