In a community of Beijing, a 15-year-old school girl named Li Ling found some children in her community
were left alone because their parents were out working all day even all night. These children had nothing to do after
school but waste time playing around. Although Li Ling was busy preparing for her coming final exam, she decided
to help these children by reading story books to them.

her school library but she wasn't sure if they would listen or enjoy them. To her surprise, once she started, she could
see the children enjoy the stories and they showed lots of excitement. At the same time, her stress about the coming
exam was reducing as she got lost in the stories and saw the happiness of the children.
She also got a lot of experience about how to inspire (激励) others. Li Ling did not stop at just reading the
stories. She also explained the lessons from the stories, like the importance of hard work and always trying one's
best. After a period of time, Li Ling was happy to see that the children were not just listening to the stories, but also
actively discussing them.
What a wonderful thing! This experience not only helped Li Ling deal with her own stress but also encouraged
the children to love reading.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司Learning to play the piano is an exciting journey that goes beyond (超过) just pressing the right keys. It’s a
journey that causes changes in brain activity over time. As we start on this musical adventure, certain parts of our
brains become highly active. These parts help us remember and explain what we see, hear, and feel. However, as
we progress and become more skilled, these areas of activity start to drop.
Scientists have long been interested in the effects of learning an instrument on the brain. To explore this
interesting subject, Alicja Olszewska and her team from the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology in Poland
carried out a study with 24 people learning the piano over 26 weeks. After 1, 6, 13, and 26 weeks of training, the
researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (功能性磁共振成像) to watch the participants’ (参与者
的) brain activity while they tried to play the increasingly difficult pieces.
The result showed that playing the piano activates (激活) different areas across the brain, including the
auditory cortices (听觉皮层) that are required in managing sounds and the motor cortices (运动皮层) required in
the planning and making of movements. Interestingly, while the areas responsible for hearing remained relatively
balanced over the 26 weeks, those required in movement presented lowered activity. A reduction in brain activity
symbolizes its improvement, which would be expected as the participants’ piano-playing skills progressed, says
Olszewska.
The result also showed that learning to play the instrument activates other areas of the brain including parts of
the parietal cortex (顶叶皮层), which connect different kinds of sensory information. Furthermore, Olszewska’s
team discovered that as people progress in their learning journey, parts of the brain related to memory and those
controlling movement become more active. Activity in these areas similarly dropped as the participants’ training
progressed. According to Olszewska, as people progress in their musical skills, their brains become more skilled at
managing music.
In a word, learning to play the piano is more than just developing a skill. It’s a groundbreaking experience that
changes how our brains work, showing the amazing effectiveness of the human brain.
27. What happens to brain activity while learning to play the piano?
A. It remains unchanged. B. It increases rapidly.
.
C It drops little by little. D. It becomes balanced.
28. What can we learn from Olszewska’s study?
第5页/共9页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司A. Learning to play the piano has no effect on brain activity.
B. Piano playing activates areas of the brain connected with smell.
C. Brain activity increases over time when learning to play the piano.
D. The brain becomes better at managing music as piano skills improve.
29. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. What effects music has on memory.
B. What reduction in brain activity symbolizes.
C. How learning the piano changes brain activity.
D. How learning to play an instrument benefits us.

Moffully-II
Getting hugged by someone you care about can be a wonderfully encouraging experience. Research has
shown that hugs can strengthen (加强) our social connections, improve our emotional (情感的) state and reduce
feelings of loneliness and sadness. They can even help to lower stress levels and improve our health.
,
Unluckily not everyone has the chance to receive hugs whenever they need them. So, how can this
problem be solved? One idea that scientists have suggested is developing social robots that can hug people. These
robots could probably offer lonely people the positive benefits of getting hugged without the need to know a person
who hug them.
However, creating a hug robot that is well-received by people and leads to positive feelings and reduced stress
is no simple task. For example, if the robot is too large or has a design like something intimidating, people may
feel uneasy about hugging it. Therefore, it is important for researchers to carry out further studies to ensure that hug
robots are designed in a way that supports acceptance and comfort.
A recent study published in the International Journal of Social Robotics focused on the development of
Moffully-II, a newly developed hug robot. It looks like a large, human-shaped teddy bear and stands at two meters
tall. During a hug, it is able to move its arms and perform different gestures (手势). Copying the actions that
humans usually do during hugs, such as tapping someone on the back, is necessary for making the hug feel real.
During the study, volunteers who received hugs from Moffully-II showed a preference for hugs with gestures
over those without gestures. They sensed the robot as friendlier and safer when it performed gestures, and they
第6页/共9页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司found the hugs to be more enjoyable in general.
While some people may feel uncomfortable with the idea of hugging a robot instead of a human, hug robots
show possibilities for improving the well-being of those who are short of hugs. This includes persons in nursing
homes who may benefit from the comforting effects of hugs, even if they are provided by a robot.
30. What is one of the possible benefits of receiving hugs?
A. Increased loneliness. B. Lowered emotional state.
C. Controlled social connections. D. Reduced stress and improved health.
31. The word “intimidating” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. terrible B. cool C. friendly D. convenient
32. What is the main purpose of the study mentioned in the passage?
A. To prove the influence of gestures. B. To examine how effective hug robots are.
C. To develop social robots for sick people. D. To study the behavior of robots in nursing homes.
33. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Are You Ready to Hug a Robot? B. Is It Strange for Robots to Give Hugs?
C. Are Robots Good at Giving Comforting Hugs? D. Do Robot Hugs Feel the Same as Human Hugs?

brainstorming
Brainstorming is a way to come up with new and smart ideas to solve difficult problems. It includes bringing
together people with different views and backgrounds to share their ideas freely and build on ideas. Here are some
key points to keep in mind when carrying on a brainstorming activity.
First, the group should have a clear goal for the brainstorming activity. This will help guide the discussion and
make sure that all ideas created are closely connected to the topic at hand. All members should be encouraged to
share their thoughts and ideas freely.
When looking at the quality of ideas from a brainstorming activity, group members had better consider how
第7页/共9页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司many there are and what they are about. While a large number of ideas can be beneficial, it is more important to
focus on the quality of the ideas and how well they fit with the group’s shared goal.
Group members need to ask for more information about an idea. This can help the group to decide if an idea
fits the goal. If an idea won’t work or doesn’t fully meet the needs, it’s important to recognize this and move on to
other ideas that might work better.
Besides, it’s necessary to focus on coming up with new ideas, not going over old ones. Members should be
encouraged to think creatively and outside the box, and to avoid getting stuck in the details (细节) .
The number of ideas is important too. While having many ideas doesn’t mean success by itself, it makes sure
we think about all possible ideas. Everyone should try to think of as many ideas as they can, without worrying if
they will work right away.
In the end, a good brainstorming activity depends on the group’s ability to work together towards a shared
goal. By supporting each other’s ideas and looking at their value and fit, we can find new ways to solve hard
problems for everyone’s benefit. Brainstorming is a powerful tool that can help us face challenges, working
together for a better and more creative future.
