children. Not caring about the money, parents often want to send their children to the best schools or even abroad to
England, the United States and Australia. 36 The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education
is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. 37 For instance,
even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education given to their children is usually very
cheap. 38 Some children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to
realize though, is that today’s children are badly off for self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that
parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple — choice tests and how to study well, but parents
are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever.
39Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills. For example, teaching a child to cook will
improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but
difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually
finish his job successfully step by step. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of
self-confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him
curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to repair them. 40 These
activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more
important.
A(cid:84)Parents can see that their children’s skills differ.
B(cid:84)Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills.
C(cid:84)The more cost in education, the better the result will be.
D(cid:84)Your child might become an engineer when he grows up.
E(cid:84)Thus, parents usually think computers are more convenient for kids’ learning.
F(cid:84)For instance, even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
G(cid:84)They also want their children to take extra-course activities to get a head start in life.

(AI) have started to transform many parts of life, affecting everything from industry to personal communication.
16But debates over AI’s influence is more than heated.
Supporters of AI argue it can improve efficiency and creativity in many areas. For instance, businesses use
AI to make operations better, leading to cost savings and better customer experiences. 17 In healthcare,
AI-driven tools help doctors by offering insights from complex data, potentially resulting in earlier diagnoses and
personalized treatment. 18 Studies show that automation could mostly impact jobs relying on routine
tasks, putting many workers at risk of unemployment. There is also worry about whether current education systems
are preparing future generations to succeed in an AI-driven world.
19 Ethical ((cid:93)(cid:15)(cid:35)) dilemmas about AI decision-making and the potential for prejudice and
inequality raise significant moral questions. As AI is more used in surveillance ((cid:94)(cid:95)) systems, issues about
privacy and civil liberties arise, needing careful oversight and regulation.
20Managing AI’s benefits and risks needs careful handling. It is crucial for societies to create
frameworks that ensure AI technologies are developed with responsibility, lowering potential risks while
maximizing benefits. As AI evolves, creating an environment where technology advances and ethical responsibility
coexist will be key. Involving diverse stakeholders ((cid:96)(cid:97)(cid:98)(cid:3)(cid:99)) in discussions about AI’s future can help create
inclusive strategies that benefit all global citizens.
A(cid:84)Similarly, AI in finance is changing risk assessment.
B(cid:84)But debates over AI’s influence is more than heated.C(cid:84)Managing AI’s benefits and risks needs careful handling.
D(cid:84)Besides, AI’s widespread use presents complex dilemmas.
E(cid:84)Despite these advances, AI’s future seems going nowhere.
F(cid:84)However, critics warn that AI could worsen existing problems.
G(cid:84)As AI continues to evolve, more profound changes may occur.

When was the last time you truly explored your city? It’s easy to get so busy in your life that you barely
notice the fascinating world where you live. Taking time to know your own town or city can help you learn about
its heritage and see your surroundings in a new light. 16Exploring your town can reveal hidden stories and
give you a new perspective. . With the weather outside warming up, now is a good time to go exploring with a
trusted adult. Here’s how to get started.
Pretend you’re a touristMany times, when you live in a place, you never really explore some of the local highlights that a visitor
might. Start by asking yourself this question: If I had friends coming to town who had never been here before,
where would I suggest they go? 17Being a “tourist” means trying something new in your hometown. .
Maybe it’s a historic building you can tour, a nice park that you can hike in, or a new ice cream store you’ve been
wanting to try.
18
Do some research online and talk to an adult about what sights are within a close drive. Again, try to think
about where you’d go if you were traveling to your city. A local museum or zoo might have a new exhibit you
haven’t seen since the last time you visited. You can also find out whether any TV shows or movies have been
filmed near you and visit the location. Check out sites like movie-locations. com and moviemaps.org .

Most of us think that creativity is quality belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves.
16 . The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.
Get out of your comfort zone
We eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns ((cid:114)(cid:115)) and welcome
creativity into your life. As stated earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. 17 . Infact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing
and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zone
and open up new possibilities.
Try different things
We are used to habits and routines, and creativity hates routines. If you usually drive to work, take the
subway for a few days. 18 . Interrupt your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are
often creative, but the same old thing never is.
19
Having a great idea is not enough; you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and
realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea.
20 . The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life. If
you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.
A(cid:84)Take action
B(cid:84)Seek several choices
C(cid:84)Think from the other person’s point of view
D(cid:84)If you usually eat in the office, have lunch under a tree
E(cid:84)So we can create patterns for almost everything we do
F(cid:84)The truth is that we are all born with the ability to be creative
G(cid:84)We all have great ideas sometimes, but only a few people turn their ideas into realities

That’s a problem many people have. Here are some tips that might help you.
Start with anchor habits. An anchor habit is something you do at a particular time of day that you’re not at
risk of skipping. It will help shape and structure your day. It doesn’t matter what the habit is, but it should be easy
for you to do. 36 Don’t choose something you struggle to get done as an anchor habit.
Be very consistent for about three months. A daily schedule is a series of behaviors. Behaviors only become
automatic if you keep how, when, and where you do them consistently for about three months. 37
Plan your rewards. Plan rewards and link them to the schedule you’re trying to keep up with in natural ways.
Structure rewards around daily tasks, such as watching a video after a period of study and scheduling walks as
enjoyable motivations. 38 What do you want to do as a reward either during or after the daily behavior
you’re trying to maintain?
39 Equipment can help you maintain a schedule. Kitchen equipment might help support a cooking
schedule. Hiking equipment might help support an outdoor activity schedule. However, keep in mind that these
tools don’t magically do the work for you.
Find and join a community. 40 Therefore, find a community where the schedule or behaviors you’re
trying to maintain are normal and join it.A(cid:84)Use tools to support you.
B(cid:84)Get to know yourself and what works for you.
C(cid:84)You can invite the people around you together.
D(cid:84)For example, reading a few pages of a book every night before bed.
E(cid:84)Once they become more automatic, they will take less effort to keep.
F(cid:84)It’s normal that you have no motivation to maintain a daily schedule.
G(cid:84)It’s much harder to maintain any behavior if it isn’t common for the people around you.
Passage 03
(cid:70)2024-2025·(cid:38)(cid:100)(cid:120)(cid:121)(cid:92)(cid:11)(cid:76)(cid:109)(cid:122)(cid:123)(cid:124)·(cid:32)(cid:102)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:82)(cid:83)Winter is a season when you really prove your love
of hiking. It demands proper commitment — with more efforts and more risks. 16 With sufficient
knowledge and safety tips, harsh winter conditions shouldn’t discourage you from hitting the traits ((cid:125)(cid:126)).
Know how to navigate. Phone apps rely on a GPS signal and also an internet connection — both of which
can be unstable. Since you never know when you'll find yourself having to plan a course in a dead zone, making
backup navigation is essential. Just make sure you know how to use a compass and read a map.
17 In winter, the days are shorter, backpacks are heavier and the conditions underfoot can be
exhausting. It's wise to plan your routes accordingly by choosing trails less challenging or areas less affected by
sudden weather changes. And if Mother Nature throws you a last minute curveball — adapt.
Know who to call in an emergency. 18 You may not have internet connection to look up who to
call while you're out, so it's better to hope for the host but prepare for the worst. Plus, in the event of you needing
assistance, research what information the rescue service will require before and once they reach you.
Wear appropriate gear ((cid:127)(cid:128)). Don’ wear anything made of cotton as it sucks the heat out of your body when
it's wet. Start with a wool base layer, and then add insulated ((cid:129)(cid:130)(cid:35)) layers. 19
One final thing: don’t forget a power bank for your phone. 20 You’ll need it not just as a safety
measure, but also because you're likely to take lots of pictures.
A(cid:84)Check your ambition.
B(cid:84)Watch out for weather changes.
C(cid:84)Thick jumpers and waterproof shells are on top.
D(cid:84)Nothing damages your battery power quite like cold weather.
E(cid:84)And it's also an ideal time to dive into nature and get the most out of it.
F(cid:84)And in return, it gives you a deeper and richer sense of the great outdoors.
G(cid:84)Save the local rescue service numbers on everyone's phones before hiking.(cid:62)(cid:21)(cid:63)(cid:41)

(cid:131)2025(cid:66)(cid:132)1(cid:133)(cid:134)An Unsung Hero
Need a break between classes or just a quick pick-me-up in the morning? The College Cafe has just that, and
more. _____36_____
Catherine Murphy, a cafe worker in a green shirt and black hat, makes sure that each customer gets exactly what
they order. She goes back and forth between machines to make the drinks. _____37_____ As the customer grabs the
drink from her hand, she smiles and says, “Hello, how is your day?” Even when the line is getting longer, she doesn’t
let it get in the way of her genuine conversations.
Murphy gets up at a quarter to five and drives thirty minutes every day to get to work on time. _____38_____ “I
do so because I like to make coffee for the students. I know they need it in the morning,” Murphy said. Being a
mother and wife has helped her become the woman she is. She believes she is here to serve.
One thing Murphy may not know is that her smile is contagious ((cid:34)(cid:63)(cid:135)(cid:57)) and can be the difference in a
student having a much better day than they were having before seeing her. Joanna Wright, a senior political science
major, loves coffee and goes to the cafe at least six days a week. _____39_____ “Catherine always has a huge smile
on her face, which always puts me in a cheerful mood,” Wright said.
“I enjoy working in the cafe,” Murphy said. _____40_____ She has every intention of staying and continuing
doing what she loves.
A. The cafe closes at 9 pm every day.
B. She has two children aged eight and four.
C. Sometimes she arrives early to serve the students early.
D. After finishing an order, she calls out the name on the cup.
E. Not only does this cafe serve up drinks, it also serves up smiles.
F. Going to the cafe starts her day off good and gets her ready for class.
G. She has served here for 17 years and can’t imagine working anywhere else.

(cid:131)2025(cid:136)(cid:137)(cid:52)ⅠⅠ(cid:133)(cid:134)Unexpected Benefits of Volunteering as a Family
Are you looking for a way to bring your family together? Hoping to find a hobby that can be shared by both the
little ones and adults? ___16___ You may know the “feel-good” emotions that come with helping others, but there
are even more unexpected ways volunteering will positively affect the whole family.
(cid:138)You’ll feel like you have more time.
People often feel they are too busy to volunteer. Yet, research has found that giving your time to communitycauses actually makes you feel like you have more of it. ___17___
(cid:138)You can live longer if you volunteer regularly.
___18___ Washington University found that adults 55 and older who volunteered had better memory and
maintained overall health longer than others their age. Volunteers are also more likely to look after their own health
and are more focused on adding physical activity into their lives.
(cid:138) ___19___
Volunteering during teenage years has been linked to some major positive effects such as improved grades and
increased self-confidence. These effects aren’t just short-term but have been proved to affect a teen’s well-being in
the years to come.
(cid:138)You’ll have more time with family.
Families who volunteer together have the unique experience of working toward a common goal. ___20___
Everyone brings something unique to the table and can connect with each other in a new way. And, there are tasks for
every age and ability, so all your children can feel proud of their work.
A. Helping the community lowers rates of depression.
B. Volunteering as a family may be just the thing you need.
C. Volunteering has a lifelong effect on kids and teenagers.
D. Volunteering can be the first step in breaking down prejudice.
E. For adults, volunteering can provide significant physical health benefits.
F. You may even learn that your kid has a talent you didn’t know about before.
G. Volunteering makes you feel capable and inspires you to make the most of each day.

(cid:131)2024(cid:136)(cid:137)(cid:52)Ⅰ(cid:133)(cid:134)Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a
perfect, professionally presented manuscript ((cid:139)(cid:140)). ____36____ No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does
not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus ((cid:141)(cid:142)(cid:143)(cid:143)(cid:144)). I don't trust my
laptop's spellchecker. ____37____ Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but
I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise
Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
____38____ It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words
whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.
In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a
bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it's not exactly short. It contains around 163,000
words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. ____39____ However, if I need to check the origin of a
word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the
English Language published in 1755. "To make dictionaries is dull ((cid:145)(cid:146)) work," wrote Johnson, illustrating one
definition of "dull". ____40____ A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewardingexperience.
A. I don't often use this dictionary.
B. It takes no account of the context.
C. But I still don't want to replace them.
D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G. Dictionaries don't always give you enough information.
Passage 4
(cid:131)2024(cid:136)(cid:137)(cid:52)ⅠⅠ(cid:133)(cid:134)Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and
communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___16___
Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making
wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online
posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape,
culture or food deeply draws you. ___17___
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though
overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of
extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ___18___ Why not try a
regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?
● ___19___ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll

(cid:131)2024(cid:66)(cid:132)(cid:149)(cid:133)(cid:134)What is moderation ((cid:150)(cid:151))? Basically, it means eating only as much food as your body
needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. ____16____ But it doesn't mean sayinggoodbye to the foods you love.
Take your time. It's important to slow down and think about food as something nutritious rather than just
something to eat in between meetings. ____17____ It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body
that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating alone, “specially in front of the TV or computer, often leads to
mindless overeating. And be careful about the foods you keep at hand. It's more challenging to eat in moderation if
you have unhealthy snacks at the ready, like cookies. ____18____
Control emotional ((cid:152)(cid:153)(cid:35)) eating. ____19____ Many of us also turn to food to deal with unpleasant
emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. But by learning healthier ways to manage emotions, you can
regain control over the food you eat and your feelings.
____20____ A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism ((cid:136)(cid:154)(cid:155)(cid:156)), while eating small, healthy meals
keeps your energy up all day. Avoid eating late at night. Try to eat dinner earlier and fast for 14 — 16 hours until
breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you're most active and giving your digestive
system a long break each day may help to regulate weight.

World Oceans Day
World Oceans Day on 8 June every year is a special day for learning about oceans, why they’re in danger
and how important it is to protect them.
There are five oceans on Earth: the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Antarctic Ocean
and the Arctic Ocean, of which the Pacific Ocean is the biggest and the Arctic Ocean is the smallest and is frozen
for much of the year. 16
17 Oceans are home to 50 to 80 percent of all species on Earth. Oceans hold about 97 percent of
all the water on our planet and give us rainwater and drinking water through the water cycle. At least half the
oxygen we breathe comes from the plants in the ocean.
18 A lot of our food comes from oceans, and millions of people worldwide have jobs related to
fishing and fish farming. Oceans also provide us with much of our energy. We can also use the power of waves and
tides to produce electricity and many wind farms are located offshore.
Sadly, our oceans are in danger. Billions and billions of pieces of plastic are floating around in our oceans.
Plastic pollution is harming and killing sea creatures like fish, birds and turtles. 19 That’s because fish
eat the tiny pieces of plastic and then humans eat the fish.
For World Oceans Day you could join in many activities. 20 You could use social media
platforms to share posts, photos or videos that show how important oceans are and why we need to protect them.
You could take part in a photo, art or writing contest around the theme of the ocean or watch ocean-related films
and documentaries.
A(cid:84)You could do a beach clean-up.B(cid:84)Without oceans, life couldn’t exist.
C(cid:84)It’s also dangerous for our health too.
D(cid:84)Despite all its benefits, the ocean still needs support.
E(cid:84)But it is melting now because of global warming.
F(cid:84)Humans use the ocean in many different ways.
G(cid:84)We should work together to create a new relationship with oceans.

How to Cope With Stress at School
Whether you’re in grade school or grad school, it’s natural to experience school-related stress. 16
To cope with school stress, you can adopt the following “4 As” stress management strategies — avoid, alter, adapt,
and accept. When you know a stressful situation is about to happen or you feel your stress building up inside,
reflect on the situation and try the following options.
Avoid. Stay away from people or situations that cause you stress as much as possible. You can take a
different route between classes. 17 In this way, you don’t need to get everything ready hurriedly in the
morning.
Alter. 18 If you’re stressed out because your schedule is too overloaded, you may as well cut back on
some of your tasks or make some changes to your academic schedule.
Adapt. Adjust your response when the stress is unavoidable. 19 You may now get overly stressed
about a single quiz. But it actually isn’t a big deal when you look back in the future.
Accept. Don’t try to change the reality that school always causes at least some stress. A manageable amount
of stress can in fact be a good thing if it drives you to succeed. Bear your goal in mind! 20
In a word, never feel ashamed to talk about your school stress — everyone experiences it, and you can
successfully get hold of it!
A(cid:84)Find out the source of stress and rearrange.
B(cid:84)You should always carry on your original plan.
C(cid:84)But it is something you can manage to deal with.
D(cid:84)Look at the stressful problems in a larger picture.
E(cid:84)You can as well pack up your school stuff the night before.
F(cid:84)You will totally get over your stress following the strategies.
G(cid:84)You are not to remove your stress, but to keep it manageable.

and a wave. When doing this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you are happy to seethem. 16 Would someone tend to believe the look on your face or the way you behave?
17 They found that when a person is staring at your face, he might not believe what he sees if your
body doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.
Previous study had showed that the tone of a person’s voice could be more important than the words spoken. For
example, most people are more likely not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m so excited.”
When talking about emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected
that the face was more important. 18 They also showed pictures where angry or scared faces were paired
with angry or scared bodies.
An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. 19 An angry body had arms back and shoulders at
an angle, as if ready to fight. A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to fight back.
These results told the researchers that mixed messages can confuse people. Even when people pay attention
to the face, body language surely influences the emotion they read. So, your body language is important for telling
people your feelings. 20
A(cid:84)A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth.
B(cid:84)Research on mixed message is a brand new area for scientists.
C(cid:84)It helps to avoid sending mixed messages if you want to be correctly understood.
D(cid:84)Recently, scientists have dealt with these questions.
E(cid:84)To test this, psychologists showed pictures of isolated angry faces and isolated scared bodies.
F(cid:84)Why is body language easily misunderstood in different culture backgrounds?
G(cid:84)However, what happens if your face and body send mixed messages?

The first kind of air transportation was the balloon. People traveled by balloon one hundred years before
there were planes or jet aircraft. Those early days of ballooning were exciting, but they were also risky. 31
However, the danger did not stop the balloonists.
The first real balloon flight was in France in 1783. Two French brothers made a balloon. 32 Hot air is
lighter than cold air, so it goes up. The hot air balloon went up 1,000 feet in the sky.
33 They built a fire under the balloon to make the air hot. This made the balloon stay up in the air for a
few hours. But their balloon was tied to the ground. So it could not go anywhere.
Soon balloonists tried longer flights. In 1785, an American and a Frenchman flew over the English Channel.
They left England on a cold, clear January day. Halfway across, their balloon began to drop toward the water. They
threw out some equipment and food to make the balloon lighter. The balloon continued to fall, so they threw out
almost everything in the basket -even some of their clothes. 34
During the nineteenth century, ballooning became a popular sport and balloons were also used by scientists
to study the air and by armies in war time. After the airplane was invented, however, interest in balloons decreased
dramatically. But some people today still like to go up in balloons. 35 What’s more, they have a wonderfulview of the world below.
A(cid:84)They filled a very large paper bag with hot air.
B(cid:84)High up in the balloon basket, they find quiet.
C(cid:84)Sometimes the balloons fell suddenly and sometimes they burned.
D(cid:84)Back then, few people understood how they were able to fly so far.
E(cid:84)Finally, after about three hours, they landed in France, cold but safe.
F(cid:84)Balloon races and displays remain popular all over the world to this very day.
G(cid:84)Later that same year, two other Frenchmen ascended in a basket under a balloon.

I was reflecting on my work career this morning and came to the realization that my job is “awesome”. I
enjoy almost every part of what I do for a living. So, I think I understand the elements that make up an “awesome
work career”.
Meaning. 16 There is a purpose to your work, and you have to find that higher purpose. Even
ordinary jobs can be viewed as having meaning. If you can’t find the meaning in your current job, it may be time to
look for a new career.
Accomplishment. Choose a career where you can accomplish things, take pride in those accomplishments,
and celebrate them. 17 The pride comes from readers and students who comment favorably on my
accomplishments.
Positive Relationships. Nothing can make a career more awesome than working with terrific people, and
building strong and rewarding relationships with them. 18 I get to meet with wonderful clients ((cid:178)(cid:179)) in
my consulting ((cid:180)(cid:181)) work, and I have some of the best research cooperators. I try to avoid the bad relationships —
those that can make you question yourself and your career choice.
Balance. An awesome career is one that allows time for family, friends, and the ability to pursue
non-work-related interests. I often talk to people who are unhappy because their jobs consume all of their time and
energy. 19 I rarely hear any regrets from them.
20 To some extent it is true. But it is more likely that people have to plan, make tough strategic
career decisions, and work hard to make their career awesome.
A(cid:84)An awesome job is one that has meaning.
B(cid:84)Can all the people have awesome careers?
C(cid:84)I think I understand the different meanings it has.
D(cid:84)I take pride when I publish a paper or give a great lecture.
E(cid:84)Some of them change to careers that allow greater balance.
F(cid:84)I’m fortunate to have amazing, talented, and awesome students.G(cid:84)Does good fortune play a part in someone having an awesome career?
