WANT TO DONATE TO PETA? HERE’S HOW!
PETA has been around for over 40 years and has become the biggest and most well-known animal rights
organization in the world. Here’s everything you need to know about how donations were given to PETA help save
countless animals around the globe:
How Is PETA Funded?
PETA is a nonprofit organization, so we operate differently from for-profit companies. While for-profits get
most of their money from selling goods or services, we get most of ours from donations from supporters. Whether
they donate $5 or $500, those supporters help our work to save animals.
What Does PETA Do With Donations?
We spend most of the money donated to us on programs that include the following:
* Money for international grassroots campaigns goes toward managing campaigns that fight against
companies and industries that harm animals.
* Money for public outreach and education goes toward spreading information about animal rights, advocacy,
and vegan (纯素食者) living to as many people as possible.
* Money for research, investigations, and rescue goes toward developing compassionate (同情心) research
methods, exposing animal abuse, and rescuing animals from those who hurt them.

Want to contribute to our work? That’s great! Talk with your parents about donating to us and ask them to help

In May 2023, on the eve of her summit attempt on Mount Qomolangma, Xu Zhuoyuan met a fierce snowstorm
during her climbing. Howling winds and heavy snowfall relentlessly battered her team, and her oxygen mask kept
freezing. Despite this, Xu reached the summit at 5:46 am the following day, making her the youngest Chinese
woman to conquer the world’s highest peak from the southern slope.
“Standing on the same ridge (山脊) my father climbed 16 years ago from the northern slope felt like a meeting
across time and space,” Xu, now 18 and in her third year of high school. In 2007, when Xu was just 1 year old, her
father became the first person from Central Chin’s Hunan province to summit Mount Qomolangma. Growing up in
a mountaineering environment, Xu’s life was naturally shaped by a passion for the mountains.
Over the years, Xu has climbed several challenging peaks across China, including Mount Siguniang and Banji
Peak in Sichuan, and Muztagh Ata in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, which prepared her for the great
challenge — Mount Qomolangma. After summiting Mount Qomolangma, Xu didn’t stop. In 2024, she climbed
Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, and Elbrus, Europe’s highest. These expeditions are part of her ambitious “7+2”
plan — referring to the highest peaks on each of the seven continents, along with the North and South Poles.
Xu shared that in extreme sports like mountaineering, many stereotypes about women still exist. “Some
believe women are too fragile to handle the tough.” she said. However, she pointed out that many women are active
climbers. “We are proving through our actions that these biases (偏见) are wrong,” Xu said. She admitted that, due
to physiological differences, women may face certain challenges in high-altitude climbing, “But our mental
resilience (韧性) stands out. We stay calmer, more patient, and more detail-oriented in crises.” she explained. “In
extreme sports, women can achieve as much as men— and sometimes even excel.”
4. How old was Xu when she reached the world’s highest peak from the southern slope?
A. 15. B. 17. C. 18. D. 20.
5. What does the ‘7+2’ plan refer to?
A. To climb 7 peaks and ski at both Poles.
B. To break 7 records and run two marathons.
C. To summit Qomolangma 7 times and explore two Poles.
D. To conquer the highest peaks on 7 continents and reach both Poles.
6. What does the underlined word “stereotypes” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Natural phenomena. B. Climbing techniques.
C. Scientific theories. D. Fixed beliefs or thoughts.
7. What does Xu stress as a key strength of women in extreme sports?
A. Mental resilience. B. Endless patience.
C. Technical skills. D. Competitive spirit.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A

We know sleep quality is important for good health, that adolescence (青少年时期) is an important time for
brain development, and that teens don’t always get a huge amount of sleep — and new research gives us some fresh
understanding of how that all fits together.
Researchers used data from 3,222 adolescents aged 9 to 14. They divided them into three groups based on
sleep habits: the worst (averaging 7 hours and 10 minutes per night), the best (7 hours and 25 minutes), and those in
between (7 hours and 21 minutes). While there wasn’t much difference between these groups in terms of academic
achievement, the best sleepers showed noticeable improvements in cognitive (认知的) tests for reading, problem
solving, and focus, compared to the worst sleepers. “Even though the differences in the amount of sleep that each
group got were relatively small, at just over a quarter-of-an-hour between the best and worst sleepers, we could still
see differences in brain structure and activity and in how well they did at tasks,” says clinical neuropsychologist
Barbara Sahakian from the University of Cambridge. “This shows us just how important it is to have a good night’s
sleep at this important stage in life.”
The group of young people who slept the longest per night was also observed to have the largest brain
volumes, the lowest heart rates, and the highest levels of brain connectivity, compared to the other groups.
Worryingly, 39% of the young people had the poorest sleep data, 24% were in the middle group, and 37% had the
best sleep scores.
The research can’t prove cause and effect between sleep and brain function, but together with other studies, it
shows that young brains need sleep protection. Psychologist Qing Ma said there are studies supporting the idea that
better sleep may lead to better brain function and test performance. This study reminds teens and parents to reduce
time on mobile devices. Regular good sleep helps us function properly, yet we know little about adolescent sleep
despite its importance.
8. What does the research aim to do?
A. Measure heart rate differences in teenagers.
B. Analyze the effects of sleep habits on good health.C. Investigate sleep-brain relationships in adolescents.
D. Compare academic achievements among adolescents.
9. What can be inferred about the “best sleepers” from Paragraph 2?
A. They had the lowest heart rates. B. They performed better in cognition.
C. They had better academic performance. D. They spent significantly more time sleeping.
10. Why are the percentages listed in Paragraph 3?
A. To compare sleep habits. B. To draw attention to the sleep problem.
C. To explain the study’s sample size. D. To challenge previous research findings.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Longer sleep betters academic achievement.
B. Sleep habits are well-understood in current research.
C. Protecting sleep during adolescence may require practical changes.
D. Reducing screen time is likely unnecessary to improve sleep quality.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C
D
Chinese artificial intelligence firm Manus AI launched a new Al agent, Manus, on Thursday, and it quickly
became popular on social media, with many referring to it as “the second disruptor after DeepSeek” and calling it
“the GPT moment” for Al agents.
AI agents are autonomous intelligent systems performing specific tasks without human intervention. Manus
said that based on the GAIA Benchmark, a standard for general AI assistants, its tool has achieved state-of-the-art
performance across all three difficulty levels, ahead of Open AI’s models. “This isn’t just another chatbot or
workflow tool,” said Ji Yichao, co-founder and chief scientist at Manus Al. “It’s a truly autonomous agent that
bridges the gap between instruction and execution (执行).”
“Where other Al stop at generating ideas, Manus delivers results, ” he said, adding that the team has been
quietly building what it believes is the next evolution in AI. As of Thursday, the so-called Manus invitation codes
were being resold for nearly 100,000 yuan ($13,797) on the second-hand trading platform Xianyu.
According to database firm Tianyancha, Manus’ founder, Xiao Hong, established the company in 2015but
exited(退出) as a shareholder in December 2024. Following his leave, shareholders including Tencent’s venture
capital company increased their investment (投资) . Besides, Monica. im, the operator Manus, and a related
company linked to technology firm Beijing Butterfly Effect Technology Co Lt d secured a seeding round of
investment from ZhenFund in July 2022.Industry experts believed that the significance of the Manus ecosystem strategy lies in introducing a new
business model to the industry — building a general AI agent ecosystem. This could emerge as the second-largest
AI application scenario after AI-powered search.
Technology sector consultancy and research firm Gartner reported in January 2024 that 21 percent of
companies had already put AI agents into their production workflows. By 2026, this figure is projected to be over
80 percent.
12. What do people think of Manus Al’s new agent?
A. It requires constant human control. B. It has achieved human-like intelligence.
C. It mainly focuses on household tasks. D. It represents a breakthrough like GPT.
13. What’s Manus’ main feature?
A. A chatbot generating ideas. B. An autonomous task-executor.
C. A workflow efficiency tool. D. A system with human intervention.
14. How does the author describe the development of Manus AI in the article?
A. By comparing its performance with Open Al’s models.
B By using benchmark data and industry adoption trends.
C. By stressing its founder’s background and company history.
D. By focusing only on its widespread popularity on social media.
15. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. The Progress of AI Tech B. Changes in AI Investment
C. Manus: An Advanced workflow tool D. Manus: A Rising Challenger
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. D

A Special Anniversary
Our home in New Jersey was close to a lottery retailer (彩票销售点), but my husband Frank and I had never
been there together. We lived carefully with our money — carrying lunches to work, skipping vocations, and
staying at home most nights. But for our fifteenth wedding anniversary, we decided to treat ourselves, we decided
to eat out first and then try our luck at the lottery retailer.
We chose a nice restaurant near the lottery retailer and arrived early to enjoy a slow, relaxing dinner. We
ordered soup, main dishes, and even a glass of wine each. Halfway through our delicious dinner, Frank and I
noticed that the two diners at the table to our right seemed to be looking for something under their table and all
around. The elegantly dressed woman appeared to be in her late seventies, and her much younger male companion
looked like he might be her son. The woman kept touching her ear.
“Did you lose an earring?” I asked. The woman shook her head. “My hearing aid,” she said. “My son finally
talked me into getting it this week, and it’s so expensive,” she continued. “My son’s eyes are better than mine, but
he can’t find it either.”
No waiters seemed to be helping. Frank stood up immediately. “Let me look,” he offered. “Maybe a fresh eye
will spot it.” “Oh, it’s very small, and it’s the same color as the floor,” the woman said, adding, “I don’t want to
bother you.” “That’s okay, let me try.” Frank said, and bent down, moving a few inches at a time, eyes and hands
sweeping back and forth.
The woman sat down slowly. Her son was carefully searching the floor back and forth away from the table and
back. Meanwhile, I also bent down to help together. “Thank you so much,” the woman said. “But I’m afraid it’s lost
forever. Your dinner’s getting cold...”
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
After a while, her son also gave up, but Frank kept searching.

【答案】
After a while, her son also gave up, but Frank kept searching. He was on his hands and knees, crawling slowly
across the floor. Suddenly, Frank let out a little cry. “I found it!” he said, holding up the tiny hearing aid. The
woman’s face lit up with relief and joy. She took the hearing aid from Frank’s hand, tears welling up in her eyes.
Her son also thanked us profusely, and they insisted on paying for our dinner as a token of their gratitude, but we
politely declined.
