My life used to be like every minute was rushing. My thoughts were controlled by a schedule of 1
tasks. However hard I tried, there was never enough time to 2 .
Six years ago, I was blessed with a stop-and-smell-the-roses type of child. When I 3 to leave, she’d
slowly choose her purse. When I needed to 4 a quick lunch, she’d chat with strangers. My 5 phrase to
her was “Hurry up!”
One day, everything changed. At the grocery store, my daughter complained, “You’re so slow!” She crossed
her arms and sighed (叹气) 6 . Suddenly, I saw in her how I pushed her to hurry all the time, and how my
hurried lifestyle was 7 her.
“Sorry,” I whispered, “I’ll be more patient. Thank you for 8 me.” She looked surprised, but accepted
it.
Removing “hurry up” from my speech is easy but developing 9 is hard. Now, I try to give her extra
time to 10 before we go somewhere. During outdoor walks, I let her set the 11 . If she stops to
12 something, I’ll push my 13 out of my head and simply observe her — her smile and the way she spotted
interesting insects. She’s a “Noticer”, who finds joy in 14 things.
Now, I never say, “Hurry up.” Those words 15 life itself. Pausing for simple joys is the only way to
truly live.

Superhuman artificial intelligence is already among us, well, sort of. When it comes to playing games like
chess or solving difficult scientific challenges, computers are well ahead of us. But we have one superpower they
aren’t even close to
1
: mind reading.
Humans have an ability to work out the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that means we can
2
other people’s actions and the consequences of our own. Reading minds comes so
3
to us, though, that
we often don’t think to spell out what we want. If AIs are to become truly
4
in everyday life — in the case
of self-driving cars, to understand that a child might run into the road after a bouncing ball—they need to establish
similar abilities.
The trouble is that doing so is far harder than training a chess grandmaster, for it involves dealing with the
uncertainties of human behaviour and requires flexible thinking, which AIs have typically
5
. But recent
developments, including a game-playing AI that learned to cooperate with humans and AIs that can succeed at hide-
and-seek, show that
6
smart machines aren’t a pipe dream.
7
, thinking about others could be a step
towards a grander goal — AI with self-awareness. “If we want robots, or AI in general, to truly
8
into our
lives, then we have to figure this out,” says Hod Lipson at Columbia University, New York.
Psychologists refer to the ability to
9
another’s mental state as theory of mind. In humans, this capacity
starts to develop at a very
10
age: by 9 months, babies understand that people’s actions are linked to their
goals; between 18 months and 2 years, they start to
11
that each person’s goals can be different because we
have unique desires.
12
, by the age of about 5, humans have a fairly advanced ability to guess what others
are thinking.
How to
13
these capabilities in machines is far from clear, though. Part of the problem is that what
we describe as theory of mind is, in fact, not just one thing, but a large collection of abilities. At the simpler end of it
is the capacity to understand the
14
behind actions, while at the other extreme is the kind of complicated
social skills you get in a Jane Austen novel.
It is important to remember, though, that the effort to teach machines theory of mind is a
15
on the
path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building machines that can truly experience feelings. Whether
we will ever get there remains to be seen. But perhaps, along the way, we will learn something about ourselves too.

In July of 1899, “The Early Work of Aubrey Beardsley,” was added to the booklist of the Worcester Public
Library. The book, a compilation (合集) of illustrations by a British artist and poet, was 1 in the collection
until 1973, when it was 2 and never seen.
Just recently, the book was found by a Boston resident who wanted to keep it from being 3 . It was
brought to the Cambridge Public Library, but the library soon realized the book was not their 4 . The
manager, Kathy Penny, 5 the book to the Worcester Public Library with a handwritten note that read,
“Returning to its 6 home, 51 years later.”
Alex London was the first to 7 the book in the Worcester Public Library and was 8 at its return. “
It’s 9
that someone found this,” London said. “But not only that they found it, but that it is in such good
1 0
.”
In his 15 years in the
1 1

years.
“With something over 100 years old, how many people
1 2
it? How many people worked with it,
how many people read it?” London said. “That’s something that’s really fun to think about, the
1 3
of
materials that we’re able to have.”
On November 1, the Worcester library made a post
1 4
the book’s long-awaited return. “Thank you to
Cambridge Public Library and the Boston resident who found this book and
1 5
it was returned after 51
years,” the post said.

As humans, our longing for recognition can sometimes lead us off course.
My name is Vimukthi and at 15 years old, I shone academically, but longed for

in school circles. One
day, during an IT class, our teacher
2
some computer parts had been missing. Everyone wondered how it
could happen in a
3
lab. “It’s possible to open that lock with another key,” I said, trying to get my
classmates’
4
. Instantly, eyes turned to me. It was a moment of
5
I had never experienced. In
my eagerness to
6
their interest, I showed them how to open the lock, enjoying the

The following day, I was called to the headmaster’s office and told that I was
9
of stealing the
missing parts. Though the headmaster didn’t mean to stress me out, his questions still
10
me to the edge
of tears. In an attempt to end it, I falsely admitted, hoping to escape the
11
pressure. Then my father was
called in. Before meeting the headmaster, he asked me if I understood the
12
of my actions. Tearfully, I
told him I just wanted attention. In the headmaster’s office, my father listened
13
and said, “I have full
confidence in my son and we are willing to clear up the situation.”
My father’s
14
in me brought a mix of relief and shame and I learned true recognition cannot be
forced. I would never

When I was young, I asked my parents what was wrong with Uncle George. They said nothing was “wrong”
with him exactly, but that he was 1 disabled. Anyway, my uncle and I have always shared a special 2 .
Back in the day, George would 3 ask for my cellphone number and write it down. He’d call a
bunch of times and then abruptly stop — because he had 4 the piece of paper with my 5 on it.
He calls me 10 times a day, 365 days a year. Though I love him quite a bit, I just 6 two of those phone
calls a day.
We often play role-playing games. In one, he’s a commander in the army, and I’m a soldier, reporting my

character for some time. Then finally, he’ll say, “Tommy. I’m just calling to say you’re the best guy I know.”
“So are you,” I reply. “The two of us!”
No matter what’s going on in the world, these calls are something I can

On that day, the Yellow Emperor showed the poet his palace. Gradually, they dropped down toward a
paradise (天堂) or garden whose metal mirrors hinted at the labyrinth (迷宫). At first, they let themselves get lost
1
, as if in a game. Later, they felt some concern, since the labyrinth’s straight avenues were gently but inescapably
curved: secretly, they formed
2
. Around midnight, the well-timed
3
of a tortoise enabled them
to disengage themselves from this seemingly bewitched area, though not from the feeling that they were lost.
When the Imperial household

sever his head. Reality and dreams became confused, or rather, reality was one
6
of dreams. Every hundred
paces, a tower pierced the air; in their eyes, they were all the
7
colour, and yet the first one was yellow
and the last one scarlet (猩红色的), so fine were the gradations and so long the sequence.
At the foot of the next-to-last tower, the poet, who had seemed removed from the extraordinary sights that so
8
the others, recited (当众吟诵) the short poem that brought him
9
and death. The text has been lost.
Some say it consisted of a single line of poetry; others, of a single
10
. What is certain, incredibly, is that
within the poem was the entire, enormous palace lived by each dynasty of mortals (凡人), gods, and dragons that
had
11
there since the furthest reaches of the past. Everyone fell silent, and the Emperor exclaimed: “You have
taken away my palace!” The
12
iron sword terminated the poet’s life.
Others tell the story differently. There cannot be two identical things in the world: as soon as the poet recited
the poem, the palace
13
as if blasted and swept away by the final syllable (音节). Of course, legends like
this are
14
fiction. The poet was the Emperor’s slave and died accordingly. His poem fell into oblivion (彻底遗

A 12-year-old girl’s playground dream has come true, thanks to the kindness of Clearfield City officials who

younger sisters, Rosili decided to 3 .
Armed with creativity and a passion for play, she mapped out a(n) 4 playground, complete with
detailed descriptions and labels.
With support from her mom, Rosili took her 5 to the city hall, where she met with Eric Howes, the
city’s community services director. Impressed by her drawings, Howes took time to 6 each of them. “She
put a lot of thought into that, and she 7 it from four different angles,” Howes explained.
Although the Thornock Park playground was already 8 , the city had plans to build a new playground
at Bicentennial Park, and Rosili’s designs were included in the 9 .
Rosili 10 every step of the process, working alongside city officials and playground equipment
sellers to realize her vision. “Every day I would have to go there for another 11 , and I would tell my friends
and be like, ‘Ah, I get to go again, woohoo!’” she 12 in social media.
Finally, Rosili’s dream playground was officially opened. Rosili, alongside her family, 13 cut the

(2025·浙江杭州·二模)
I remember opening my iPad one day in fifth grade, inspired by a lighthearted conversation with my cousin
about scary stories. Hours later, I had 1 my first short story. Writing
2
became a beloved hobby,
but as I grew older, the
3
began to fade. I started reading more books, encountering critiques online, and
comparing my work to others. Self-doubt crept in, and what once felt like a creative outlet became a source of
4
. I felt I had to be “good” at writing to share it.
This
5
happens often. Hobbies start as a form of
6
, a way to relax ourselves. Yet, over time,
societal pressures to
7
can change how we view them. Whether it’s painting, playing an instrument, or any other
8
, there’s an expectation to perform at a high level. When we don’t meet that standard, the joy fades, replaced
by feelings of inadequacy.
For me, writing has been the one hobby I’ve regularly returned to,
9
moments of self-doubt. I’ve
taken creative writing classes and seen significant improvement, but the constant
10
for perfection turns
writing from a 1
1
into a chore. I’ve come to realize that this mindset 1

me of the joy I once
found in it.
We need to recognize that it’s 1
3
not to be great at something. Perfection is often 1
4
, and

As Jessica Bennett departed from Elmwood High School after a grueling (艰苦的) day of classes, the late
afternoon sun
1
elongated shadows across the quiet suburban streets. She clutched her textbooks to her
chest, her mind
2
with an upcoming calculus test she felt woefully unprepared for. Oblivious to the world around
her, she greeted classmates warmly as she strolled toward the bus stop.
As she reached the intersection at Cedar Avenue and Maple Street, she paused at the crosswalk, earbuds playing
the latest pop song. Suddenly, a
3
blast of screeching tires jolted her senses. A silver sedan, its driver
apparently disoriented, lost control and
4
over the concrete median before slamming violently into a steel
guardrail. The impact produced a deafening,
5
cacophony (刺耳的混响) that reverberated through her
chest. Time seemed to
6
, every detail—shards of glass, splintered metal—etched indelibly in her mind.
Instinctively, Jessica sprinted toward the wreckage, adrenaline surging, heart pounding like a war drum. Though
fear threatened to overwhelm her, her training in the school’s volunteer first-aid club enabled her to 7
panic.
Swinging her backpack aside, she knelt next to the mangled vehicle’s driver-side door, assessing the situation with
methodical precision. The window was shattered; fragments of glass
8
around her feet like crystalline rain.
Through the
9
opening, she glimpsed the driver slumped against the frame, breathing shallowly and
bleeding profusely from a gash on his forehead.
She took a moment to steady herself, then spoke in a calm, 1
0
tone, urging the victim to stay
awake as she applied direct pressure to the wound. Blood seeped into her gloves, but she refused to falter.
Recollecting her instructor’s admonitions about scene safety and priorities, Jessica quickly scanned for further
hazards—fuel leaks, oncoming traffic, unstable debris. Then, recalling the mnemonic (助记符) for primary assessment,
she took a deep inhalation to steady her 1
1
. Despite the chaos and the pungent smell of burning rubber,
her resolve and 1
2
propelled her forward without hesitation
Realizing minutes could mean the difference between life and death, she reached for her phone and dialed 911
with 1
3
. “Operator? This is Jessica Bennett at the intersection of Cedar Avenue and Maple Street,” she
reported, her voice steady despite the turmoil. “A car just 1
4
, one occupant is unconscious, severely
injured, and possibly trapped.” The dispatcher’s voice crackled through the speaker with professional brevity, but
Jessica patiently provided additional details, including her precise location and the victim’s condition.
Within moments, distant sirens wailed as flashing lights converged on the scene. Emergency responders took
over, securing the area and tending to the injured motorist. Jessica, her hands still trembling, watched as the paramedics
loaded the patient onto a stretcher. Although shaken, she felt a surge of relief knowing that her prompt intervention
had made a 1

difference in the outcome.

Years ago, my father’s memory began to be affected by Alzheimer’s disease. In an effort to reconnect him with
his past, I started

the forgotten corners of our old house. On an old bookshelf, I found a(n)

carefully kept datebook.
