For years, I kept a careful distance from the people around me. Living in a busy city apartment, I learned to
move through shared spaces quietly. 1 It wasn’t that I disliked others; keeping to myself just seemed
easier. Independence mattered to me, and needing no one felt like part of being a grown-up.
2 Without warning, the power went out. The building fell into complete darkness. I sat alone in my
apartment, the cold air pressing in as my phone went dead. The silence was familiar. Yet this time, it seemed
different. Less comforting. More exposed.
A soft knock broke the stillness. It was my neighbour from 3B, someone I recognised but hardly knew. She
held a candle and mentioned that a few residents were gathering in the hallway and invited me to join them. I
hesitated. Staying alone felt safe, but something felt unsettled. 3
People sat on the floor, sharing blankets, tea, and quiet conversation. I listened more than I spoke. The man I
had once assumed was unfriendly turned out to be a retired doctor with a dry sense of humour. 4 I
realized how easily distance can turn into detachment (疏离).
When the lights finally returned, the hallway looked the same, but it felt different. I didn’t suddenly become
outgoing, nor did I abandon my need for space. 5 It’s about knowing when to let them in. Now, when I
step into the elevator, I don’t automatically lower my eyes. Sometimes, I look up.
A．After a moment, I stepped outside.
B．I avoided eye contact and unnecessary conversation.
C．I began to question my decision to join the conversation.
D．Most neighbours in the building kept to themselves as well.
E．As the night progressed, my long-held belief began to loosen.
F．But I understood something new: maturity isn’t about shutting others out.
G．That belief was challenged one night when a violent storm swept through the city.

Have you ever experienced such moments: a warm smile from a stranger, a brief chat with someone waiting
in line, or a simple wave to a neighbor you hardly know? These tiny interactions among strangers and familiar faces
alike are called “microconnections”. 6 Yet their importance goes far beyond our awareness.
When people have a microconnection with a stranger, the levels of dopamine (多巴胺) in their brain increase
while the body’s stress chemical decreases. The result is a greater sense of well-being. 7 They enable
both parties to gain a more positive mindset and greater relaxation.
Another effect of these casual interactions lies in their influence on how you perceive reality and respond to
novel ideas. 8 Thus brief contacts with them can offer brand-new spiritual enrichment and broaden your
perspectives on the world. Interestingly, research shows people may actually be more open to considering opposing
viewpoints when talking to strangers than to close family members, which lays a solid foundation for in-depth and
original idea exchanges.
9 They build public trust, which in turn makes social communities more closely connected. As
Sandstrom, a well-known psychologist, explains, “That sense of community is a huge thing we get from talking to
strangers-it’s just feeling there’s this shared humanity and that we are seen by other people and valued by other
people.” This feeling helps people recognize themselves as part of a community.
In a world where people often feel disconnected, these small moments remind us of the hidden bonds
between ordinary individuals. A microconnection may bear lasting fruit. 10
A．They tend to slip our attention.
B．Microconnections are also two-way streets.
C．People are eager for connection with others.
D．Brief exchanges affect more than just the two individuals.
E．Such encounters bring unnoticed changes to the inner world.
F．Those who you meet by chance possess diverse life experiences.
G．So next time do not hesitate to offer a smile to a person around you.

Stargazing offers a breathtaking connection to the universe, yet many people miss out on this experience due to a
few easily overlooked factors. Anyone can enjoy an unforgettable journey through the universe. 11 Avoid
light pollution.
Light pollution results from the overused or poorly directed artificial light produced by cities, streetlights,
buildings, and vehicles. It creates a glowing mist that hides faint stars and other objects in the sky. No stargazer
wants such an obstacle to spoil the view. 12 If you’re observing from home, consider using professional
instruments that direct light downward.Consider the moon.
The moon, our closest neighbor in space, goes through a monthly cycle of phases that greatly affect stargazing
conditions. The best time to observe the stars is during the new moon, when the moon is positioned between the
Earth and the sun and remains invisible, leaving the sky at its darkest. 13 Height matters.
To get a clear view of the sky, it’s important to choose a location free from surrounding buildings. 14
If traveling to the countryside isn’t an option, try to get to a higher spot. The rooftop of a tall building, for instance,
can help you rise above nearby structures and improve your view. Look for accessible buildings in your area that
might offer this advantage. 15
Timing plays a key role in what you’ll see in the night sky. Winter generally offers the clearest skies because
cold air holds less moisture-just remember to dress warmly. Summer skies bring a different set of star groups and
often present a stunning view of the Milky Way. Beginners may find dusk, just after sunset, a good time to start,
while serious stargazers with better equipment often prefer the late-night hours.
A．Pick the right time.
B．Take account of the season.
C．Rural areas are ideal for this.
D．All you need is a little preparation and knowledge.
E．Using a telescope can greatly enhance your viewing experience.
F．It’s best to avoid nights with a full moon for better star visibility.
G．If possible, visit a dark park that is specially meant for stargazing.

Do you set goals for yourself for the new year? Many people do. Some people want to learn the guitar.
Others want to stop biting their nails. Forming new habits and breaking old ones isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible.
16
The brain is made up of billions of cells called neurons, or nerve cells. These cells send and receive
messages from the body to the brain and back again. 17 They create electrical signals. These signals
contain messages. The messages travel from one nerve cell to the next. Nerve cells “talking” to each other is key to
forming habits.
The pattern of nerve cells talking to each other in the brain is like a channel. The more you practice, the more
the pattern will become your new go-to choice. 18 But finding the motivation isn’t always easy.
It is of primary note to set your goals wisely. When you set a goal, try to make it motivating. It’s also wise to
make your goals something you can achieve. When you fail at a goal, it can discourage you. So give yourself a mix
of goals. Include some easy wins to help boost your motivation.
19 Attention and focus improve if your goal is specific. For example, don’t set a general goal of
being more organized. Try to make the goal more specific. Cleaning your room every Saturday may work better.
Rewarding yourself is really helpful. 20 Receiving feedback (反馈) is another form of reward and
improves performance. Feedback can come from others or yourself. It can be as simple as crossing goals off a to-do
list.
A．These could be notes or daily alarms.
B．Nerve cells like to “talk” to each other.
C．Even a small treat can help things stick.
D．They can also remind you to break old habits.
E．Equally important is being specific with your goals.
F．That’s because our brains can change due to our experiences.
G．Practice is important for forming new habits and making them stick.

How to Be Creative
Do you believe creativity is a gift that only a few people are born with? The truth is, creativity is not about
talent. 21 A creative mindset helps you solve problems better and enjoy life more fully. Here are four
practical suggestions.
● Enjoy the simple things.
Creativity works best when you are relaxed. Stress or fear narrows your thinking. Finding joy in small
moments can help — even a simple meal or a cup of tea — calms your mind and creates space for ideas to flow
more freely. 22
● Do more than asked.
23 When given an ordinary task, do not shut the door on creativity. Complete what you are asked to
do every day, and then go a step further by rethinking the problem in your own way. Over time, this habit leads to
more meaningful opportunities.
● 24
It is easy to spend hours discussing ideas. But real growth comes from action. By trying things, you learn
through doing. The process may get messy, and you may make mistakes. Yet that is how real learning happens.
Each attempt builds confidence and brings you closer to creative solutions.
● Trust in your own creativity.
Many people think of themselves as “not creative.” Start with small, manageable steps. Complete a simple
creative task — redesign your study space, or solve an everyday problem with a fresh approach. 25 Once
you see yourself as creative, bigger challenges can be overcome. Trust yourself, and creativity will follow.
A．Action over talk matters most.
B．Small successes can rebuild your confidence.
C．It is a way of thinking that anyone can develop.
D．This helps fresh thoughts and insights come naturally.
E．Real confidence comes after taking on big challenges.
F．A certain amount of stress can help unlock your creativity.
G．Never allow routine tasks to discourage your creative efforts.

In the spring of 2022, after a depressing 58-loss season, the Oklahoma City Thunder sat near the bottom of
the NBA standings. 26 In just three seasons it rocketed from the bottom to the top of the league. How
does a team improve so quickly? That question isn’t just about basketball. It’s about how any group can learn,
adapt, and succeed in an age of accelerated change.
During the past few years, my colleagues and I have been investigating a question: What do the best teams
do differently? 27 And we collected detailed data on how their teams set priorities, make decisions, and
cooperate. To identify members of high-performing teams, we had workers rate their team’s effectiveness and
industry performance. Those rated highest were called “superteams”.
28 Superteams share three key strengths. Firstly, they get more done by managing time, energy,
and attention more efficiently. Secondly, their members actively make one another better. Thirdly, they’re
constantly building new skills and improving over time.
It is that last strength that the Thunder has clearly mastered. 29 It’s part of a pattern that has
defined the organization since it moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. After its arrival, the team entered a full rebuild,
putting long-term progress before instant results. Yet in just four seasons it reached the NBA Finals, in 2012.
The Thunder’s story is a reminder that success grows from the pursuit of improvement, the decisive leaders
who spot and solve problems, and the motivated teams that cooperate well. Those are the habits that turn good
teams into superteams. 30
A．But something remarkable happened.
B．They work together towards the same goal.
C．Its rapid rise over the past few years is not an accident.
D．We found that superteam leaders are more likely to support employees.
E．Any team can develop them, whether in basketball, business, or beyond.
F．To find out, we surveyed over 6,000 knowledge workers across various industries.
G．Among those superteams, the secret to high performance looked remarkably similar.

Have you ever looked up in a thick forest and noticed a natural pattern? The tops of some tall trees do not
touch. 31 . This fascinating phenomenon is known as “crown shyness.”
Crown shyness has been observed in certain tree species globally, such as some eucalyptus, pine, and oak
trees. These “shy” tree crowns maintain a careful distance from their neighbors, creating those unique and striking
channels of light. But why would trees do this? Scientists have proposed several theories.
32 . In windy conditions, the swaying branches and twigs of neighboring trees repeatedly collide (碰
撞) and rub against each other, causing unavoidable physical damage to the tender growing tips. This damage
effectively limits branch growth at the points of frequent contact. Over time, a mutual boundary forms where
growth is restricted, resulting in the distinctive gaps. It’s a non-violent, long-term negotiation for space.
Another influential theory involves light competition for survival. Trees rely on sunlight for photosynthesis,
the key process for making food. 33 . However, this theory alone can’t fully explain why the gaps are so
precise and consistent. Some researchers, like ecologist Miguel Franco, suggest it might be a combination of
factors: abrasion (磨损) creates the initial gap, and then the trees’ light-sensitive abilities guide further growth away
from the shade.
This behavior is more than just a curiosity. 34 . More importantly, it allows more sunlight to filter
through to the forest floor, supporting a richer undergrowth ecosystem. Crown shyness is a remarkable example of
how competition and coexistence shape the natural world. 35 .
A．They may minimize shading by avoiding overlap (重叠).
B．Instead, they leave narrow, winding gaps against the sky.
C．But no one has proved why the trees avoid touching each other.
D．The leading explanation is the “mechanical abrasion assumption”.
E．One theory is that collision will lead to the death of some branches.
F．It can create beauty through invisible rules and silent communication among giants.
G．It likely reduces the spread of leaf-eating insects and provides a popular-level benefit.

Cork fabric (橡树皮织物) is a natural material obtained from the bark of the cork oak tree, which grows
mainly in the western Mediterranean region. 36 This material is highly sustainable because the tree bark
regenerates after each harvest, making cork both renewable and biodegradable. Additionally, most cork-based
products can be fully recycled.
37 Known for being lightweight, water-resistant, and thermally insulating (隔热的), it is used in
construction, musical instruments, insulation for rockets, packaging, footwear, furniture, and increasingly, in
fashion industry.
The cork harvesting process is carried out by hand by skilled workers using a specialized tool. The first
harvest occurs when the tree is between 20 and 30 years old. Subsequent harvests are scheduled every nine years.
38 After harvesting, the cork undergoes boiling, sorting, drying, and further processing based on the intended
use.
To produce cork fabric, the raw cork is air-dried for approximately six weeks. 39 Since cork alone
can be easily broken, these sheets are usually pressed into very thin pieces or bonded to a textile (纺织品) backing
to improve strength and durability. This reinforced material can then be sewn and used like conventional fabric.
Although cork has been used for thousands of years in items like footwear, its use expanded in the late 20th
century to include furniture and surface coverings. Cork fabric, specifically designed in fashion industry, has gained
significant attention only in the 21st century. Today, cork leather is widely recognized as an eco-friendly and
alternative to animal leather. It is used in products such as handbags, wallets, belts, shoes, and dresses. Cork fabric
is favored for its sustainability, and minimal environmental footprint. 40
A．Cork fabric has a wide range of applications.
B．It is then boiled, pressed, and cut into thin flexible sheets.
C．This practice allows the bark sufficient time to regenerate.
D．Therefore, it is becoming a preferred material in green design.
E．Countries such as Portugal and Spain are the world’s largest cork producers.
F．After that, another harvest can be conducted without doing harm to the tree.
G．However, much remains to be done before its application can be further expanded.

When you think of volunteering at an animal shelter, you might think of walking dogs or brushing cats.
41 . Shelters usually need volunteers for office work and special events, such as adoption programs, fostering
(代养) animals, and many more important responsibilities. Before you do any volunteering, you need to prepare
yourself to work hard and devote your time.
* 42 . The organization may have a contact person who can help you get involved at their facility.
Look online for shelters near your home or office. Consider the type of animal, and the needs of a given shelter.
Find out what manners, tools and processes are used in the given shelter.
* Understand the volunteer requirements. Different shelters have different requirements. 43 , if you
want to directly handle animals. As a general rule, you must be able to commit to a long-term volunteer position.
Some shelters require a commitment as long as a year, so that they know it’s worth their time to train you.
* Learn about the available volunteer positions. Depending on the shelter, you may be assigned to a specific
job, or you may perform various tasks as need arises. Laundry, dish-washing, floor-mopping, and office work are
often necessary to keep a shelter running smoothly. 44 , if you have some that relate to shelter work.
* Think about fostering an animal. When you foster an animal, you are promising to take it into your home
and to care for it. It is your job to help it get healthy and socialized. Make sure that you have room for a temporary
dog or cat in your home, and ask yourself whether you have the energy to care for this animal. 45 , but it
can be deeply rewarding.
A．This is a big responsibility
B．Contact your local animal shelter
C．Tell the shelter your special skills
D．Consider which animals you want to work with
E．Most shelters need people to help in the facility
F．However, there are many additional jobs available
G．You need to have previous experience with animals
