Walking into the on-campus barbershop, the student customers will be greeted by Alexander Garcia with
clippers in hand, a barber chair, a full professional clipping set, and customers chatting about Ozzy’s latest DJ set in
the background.
Garcia started cutting hair during his junior year of high school. He spent his time learning from barber videos
by 360 Jeezy on YouTube about different hair styles. That learning took trial and error, and he spent his time
practicing on his younger cousin, but he never intended it to be a business.
He came into college as an Electrical and Computer Engineering major and spent his time in the students’
associations, working as a part-time DJ. His journey of cutting hair on campus began in the second year, with
mainly roommates and close friends coming in for a cut and a chat, but his hobby fully developed into CutzbyOzzy
earlier this year. Barbers in the city are expensive, he noticed, especially for college students, which pushed him to
expand his hobby to a private business.
Garcia is busy, with appointments made usually a week in advance. Customers can pay $18 for a full haircut
and $5 for a line-up. His business grows mostly through the word-of-mouth of his customers, who are mainly first-
years. “Seeing that most of the customers are freshmen, I like to give them advice, try to explain my own
experience and promote student organizations because I feel that enhances my experience,” he said. “I lead them
through things I encounter on the way — internships (实习), scholarships, job opportunities, and questions.”
To Garcia, it’s about creating the feel of walking into an actual barbershop; it’s about offering instructions and
friendship to his customers. He’s found over time that these students start breaking out of their shells and coming to
him with their problems.
“I can just never stay put,” he said. “I always like to try different things in different fields. Apart from being an
engineer, the barbershop is truly my life.”
24. What inspired Garcia to start his barbershop business?
A. His hobby as a part-time DJ.B. The real demand from his friends.
C. The high cost of haircut in the city. D. His barbering experience in high school.
25. What helps Garcia’s business grow?
A. Discounts for the freshmen.B. Recommendation by customers.
C. Advertisements via social media.D. Partnership with local barbershops.
26. How does Garcia distinguish from other barbers in the city?
A. He keeps his barbershop better-equipped.B. He provides a wider selection of hairstyles.
C. He shares more practical guidance for students.
D. He introduces more job opportunities to graduates.
27. Which of the following can best describe Garcia?
A. Ambitious and adventurous.B. Multitalented and supportive.
C. Knowledgeable and intelligent.D. Business-minded and fame-seeking.
C
Feeling down about money? Do you know you could have thousands of pounds worth of junk hiding in your
,
drawers? Well here’s some fantastic news to brighten your day: your unwanted tech could be a goldmine, with
potential earrings ranging from £1,300 to £6,330.That’s right — that neglected hairdryer, forgotten electric
toothbrush, or unused smartphone sitting in your cupboard could be your ticket to some extra holiday cash, a dream
summer vacation, or a special weekend treat!
Recent research from Recycle Your Electricals reveals a shocking 880 million unused working electrical
items gathering dust in UK households, averaging 31 items per household. The potential earnings? A surprising
£36.7 billion for older, lower, and unbranded items and an astonishing £178.5 billion for newer, higher branded
items. It’s an incredible new opportunity!
It’s not just about making money; selling your old electricals is also great for the planet. Waste electricals are
the fastest growing e-waste stream, with few people realising that they contain some of the most precious materials
on the planet, like gold, aluminium and lithium. So whether you choose to sell or donate your working items, or
you recycle the broken ones, it’s going to be good for the environment.
It’s time to unlock that money. Start by taking stock of all your electricals and research their market value by
considering factors like brand, age, and condition. Wipe down surfaces, remove dust, and ensure everything is in
working order. Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words— a detailed description with high-quality photos
speaks louder. Select the platform that suits your item and target audience. Above all, security first. Ensure all
personal data are securely wiped. If meeting in person, choose a safe, public location. Alternatively, use secure
shipping methods with tracking for added peace of mind.
28. What can be inferred from paragraph 1?
A. The wealth from junk is often overlooked.
B. People often put plenty of cash in the drawers.
C. The potential earnings from wastes are worth a goldmine.
D. Electricals are likely to break down if not used frequently.
29. What can the e-waste be used for according to the text?A. Repair work.B. Metal extraction.C. Data security.D. Scientific research.
30. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Methods of saving money.B. Ways to promote online sales.
C. Procedures of online shopping.D. Steps to profit from used electricals.
31. What’s the author’s writing purpose?
A. To offer tips for making a fortune.
B. To warn against e-waste pollution.
C. To increase the purchase of new electricals.
D. To advocate recycling economically and environmentally.
D
In an increasingly fast-paced world that rewards immediacy, urgency culture makes it hard to tell what is truly
important and what is not. At work, this could involve handling frequent last- minute requests, unrealistic
deadlines, and the expectation to be reachable even after hours. In personal life, behaviour patterns of urgency
culture include overextending in relationships, frequently checking social media updates out of fear of missing out,
and responding immediately to calls and texts, even when it’s inconvenient.
The constant rush to be “always on” professionally and personally can create stress. Being part of the “always
on” culture often involves multitasking. However, research shows every time we multitask, it actually slows the
brain down and may reduce productivity by up to 40 percent. Meanwhile, constant overstimulation - a significant
contributor to urgency culture- will debilitate your dopamine (多巴胺) system. In short, the more overstimulated
you are, the less joy you can feel. Over time, urgency culture can also be harmful to physical health. A false sense
of urgency tricks the body into reacting as if it’ s in a threatening situation, activating the “fight-or- flight” response.
Your breathing becomes faster, your blood pressure and heart rate go up, and you lose the ability to regulate
emotions, and an overactive fight-or-fight response contributes to high blood pressure, poor quality of sleep and
eating disorders.
To avoid the urgency trap, experts recommend pausing for a few moments before leaping into action every
time something comes up. It allows you to step back and assess whether this demand for your attention is in line
with your priorities. Setting clear expectations in personal and professional relationships can also help plan,
prioritize and problem-solve without causing false urgency. The best thing you can do to deal with urgency culture
is to regularly engage in activities that remind you there is no rush.
32. Which of the following can be described as “urgency culture” according to paragraph 1?
A. Focusing on important matters.B. Finishing work before deadline.
C. Giving everything high priority.D. Maintaining useful relationships.33. How does multitasking influence people according to the author?
A. It contributes to their work efficiency.
B. They may feel under constant pressure.
C. It helps to slow down their working pace.
D. Their sense of achievement will decrease.
34. What does the underlined word “debilitate” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Weaken.B. Balance.C. Activate.D. Divide.
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. The Power of Rush: The Secret to Modern Success
B. Stay Well-connected: The New Path to Personal Productivity
C. No Pressure, No Growth: Boosting Yourself in Urgency Culture
D. More Haste, Less Speed: Breaking Free From the “Always-on” Trap

On a sunny afternoon, my friend Ollie and I were enjoying skatcboarding at our local park. Our mood was
light until Olle spotted a poster for the upcoming Harvest Fair. The idea of attending it was thrilling, but the ticket
price of $50 quickly iced our enthusiasm.
While we were thinking over the cost, our attention was drawn to the list of attractions. Among the various
activities, we noticed that our favorite band - Eagles was going to perform. We couldn’t help but break into singing
our favorite song by them. What added to our excitement was the pie contest in the poster, a delightful reminder of
our shared memory. It used to be the most popular event in our community. But thinking of the expensive tickets,
which seemed to be a shadow over our excitement, we all sighed. Then I suggested going to my parents’ store to
see if they could help.
Upon arriving, my dad told us he had some good news, showing some tickets to us. They were the very ones
we had seen in the poster! My dad explained that his old partner had made a request to hang a poster here for the
Harvest Fair, and in return, he offered us free passes. Much to my delight, there were six tickets for five people in
our family and an extra one for my friend! The news was like a breath of fresh air, bringing unexpected joy into our
day. We could all set out to experience the fair together, no one missing out.
Just then, Mrs. Smith, out awesome 80-year-old neighbor, walked unsteadily towards us.“I just saw the poster
in your window. How I used to love going to fairs!” She paused, with her eyes dropping before she continued. “But
it’s hard for me to get around now, and tickets cost so much these days...”

写作示例:
Ollie approached me, seemingly to say something. As Mrs. Smith continued to gaze longingly at the poster, he
whispered, "Why don't we give her the extra ticket?" Touched by his thoughtfulness and generosity, I nodded. When
we presented her with the ticket, she was overjoyed and lost for words. My dad winked at Ollie, silently expressing
gratitude for his kindness. The fair was great, filled with laughter, music, and the freshly baked pies. But the very
best part was seeing Mrs. Smith's broad smile.
After the fair, I came up with a plan to make up for Ollie ’s absence.My family decided to throw a surprise
"Family Harvest Fair" in his honor. Besides party decoration, we prepared simple but fun games. We also invited
neighbors around. Ollie's face lit up with surprise and gratitude. During the fair, we baked an “award-winning"pie
and gifted him with a classic album bearing Eagles'autographs. Even though it wasn't quite the same as the real fair,
the genuine laughter and happiness shared among us were equally fulfilling. It was Ollie's act of kindness that
sparked a ripple of lasting joy for us all.
