Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 1 Trust is a risk. But you can’t be
successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no
responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated
on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore. 2 It’s understandable,
but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
● 3 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best
outcome would be for your wellbeing.
● 4 If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being
a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or
violated.
●You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this
hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 5 Instead,
it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
A．Learn to really trust yourself.
B．It is putting confidence in someone.
C．Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D．Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E．They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.
F．This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G．Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.

Training for a marathon (马拉松)needs careful preparation and steady, gradual increases (增加)in the length of
the runs. 1 , buy the best-fitting, best-built running shoes you can find. No one can say which brand will
work best for you or feel best on your feet, so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you
shop. When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to check the fit again and again. 2 .
As always, you should stretch (伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to avoid injuries.
During the first week, do not think about distance, but run five minutes longer each day. 3 , it is wise to
take one day off to rest. But during the next week, set a goal of at least a mile and a half per run. 4 . After
two weeks, start timing yourself. 5 .
Depending on the kind of race you plan to join in, you can set up a timetable for the remaining weeks before the race.
A．After you have trained for six days
B．If you want to be a good marathon runner
C．Before you start your training for a marathon
D．With each day, increase the distance by a half mile
E．If they still feel good, you can begin running in them
F．Time spent for preparation improves the quality of training

The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 1 By helping them develop classic skills that will
serve them well no matter what the future holds.
1. Curiosity
Your children need to be deeply curious. 2 Ask kids, “What ingredients (配料) can we add to make
these pancakes even better next time?” and then try them out. Did those ingredients make the pancakes better? What
could we try next time?
2. Creativity
True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new from it. 3 There
are a dozen different things you can do with them. Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a
long way in helping them develop their creativity.

Understanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids. We know what’s going on inside our own head, but
what about others? Being able to read people helps kids from misreading a situation and jumping to false
conclusions. 4 “Why do you think she’s crying?” “Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his
face? If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?”
4. Self-expression

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability, money, and time.
1 Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most
of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:
●Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing
ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials
already? 2
●Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time
later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 3 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.
So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
● 4 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It
gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more
you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start. 5 And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some
great changes in the way you eat and live!
A. Try new things.
B. Ability is easily improved.
C. Make three or four instead.
D. Understand your food better.
E. Cooking is a burden for many people.
F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

Business is the organized approach（途径） to providing customers with the goods and services they want.
The word business also refers to an organization that provides these goods and services. Most business seek to
make a profit(利润)-that is, they aim to achieve income(收入) that is more than the costs of operating the business.
1
Commonly called nonprofits, these organizations are primarily nongovernmental（非政府的） service providers.
2
Business management is a term used to describe the techniques(方法) of planning, direction, and control of the
operations of a business. 3 One is the establishment (制定) of broad basic policies(政策) with respect to
production; sales; the purchase(购买) of equipment, materials and supplies; and accounting(会计). 4 The
third relates to the establishment(建立) of standards of work in all departments. Direction is concerned primarily with
supervision(监管) and guidance by the management in authority. 5

Public Speaking Training
●Get a coach
1 so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking
training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that’s right for you.
●Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of
what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren’t doing well. 2 , so good
public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.
● 3
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don’ts, walk away!
Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about. 4 . As far as we’re concerned, there are
basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
●You are a special person not a clone
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal
habits. 5 . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone
you’re not.
A．So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse
B．The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleep
C．Whatever the speech, public speaking is tough
D．Cheek the rules about dos and don’ts
E．Turn your back on too many rules
F．You already do lots of things well
G．You aren’t like anybody else

Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely
difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical
and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a
recent research.
1 Try the following steps：
Calm yourself. 2 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a
beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have
wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. 3 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not
necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender (冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person
who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness
around you.
4 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and
even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 5 But it can rob you of your selfconfidence if you don’t do it.
A．Why should you forgive?
B．How should you start to forgive?
C．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D．Try to see things from your offender’s angle.
E．For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F．To make your anger die away, try a simple stressmanagement technique.
G．If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.

Kids’ Health: Four Steps for Fighting Stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 1 Some ways, like screaming or hitting someone, don’t
solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead to you solving your problem or at least feeling
better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to trusted adults, such as
parents or other relatives. 2 They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death
of a beloved pet.
Do not take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. In
fact, that’s not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. 3
Try to solve the problem. After you’ re calm and you have support from adults and friends, it’s time to get
down to business. 4 Even if you can’t solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.
Be positive. Most stress is temporary. Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the
problem and start working on solving it.
These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a hard
time, you will help yourself feel better even faster. 5 So, remember the above ways when you are stressed.
A．Then, find a way to calm down.
B．You need to figure out what the problem is.
C．Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.
D．Different people deal with stress in different ways.
E．Chatting with your friends is also a good choice.
F．Notice your friends’ feelings and find a way to help them.
G．You’d better turn to them to get you through the difficult situation.

Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money. 1 . So you may start talking about money when
your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
● The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is
important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have.If he wants to have a toy, give him
the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员). 2 . When your child grows a bit older and
understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.
● Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 3 . If you must say no to a child’s request to spend
money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have
to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
● 4
Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product—a kind of name-brand butter and a
generic (无商标消费品),for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a
product so that you can save money. 5 . If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase
with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other
purchases.

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit-and that can be a
very annoying thing. 1 Read on for some techniques worth trying.
2
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of
Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 3 Something as simple as setting a goal to
have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are
working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.
Go for a walk.
Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical
activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your
brain. 4
Learn something new.
Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation
(刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you
learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 5
A．Focus on the future.
B．This can be especially harmful to the aged.
C．It should be something like learning gardening, or go dancing with your friends.
D．Live a regular life.
E．But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life changing events.
F．Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.
G．In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.

（25-26 高三上·广东·开学考试）For many, the idea of being “average” is scary — to the point that there’s
a word for fear of merely being ordinary and average — that’s koinophobia. 1 With that in mind,
koinophobia specifically refers to fear of living an ordinary life, one that doesn’t stand out．
What causes koinophobia? Generally, people who struggle with low self-respect might fear being average if
their self-worth is tied to a certain skill. It can be a way to make up for insecurities： If I can be good and impactful
enough, maybe I’ll feel good about myself. 2 This can lead to the feeling that everyone else is achieving
more than we are, which may contribute to a rise in koinophobia.
3 Besides the anxiety that comes with koinophobia, those who pursue greatness without rest are at
increased risk for burnout. Furthermore, people with koinophobia tend to have high standards for themselves and
their accomplishments. Unavoidably, they may fail to live up to these standards, which can harm their confidence.
It’s okay to be motivated by a desire to do something big, but when fear of being average can prevent you
enjoying your life, it becomes a problem. So give yourself grace and allow for balance. If you have projects and goals,
you can certainly work towards them. 4
To overcome koinophobia, you can also practice self-acceptance so that you feel okay with who you are as
you are now. If you find yourself feeling inadequate (不胜任的) when you see what everyone else seems to be
accomplishing, take social media breaks. 5 Finally, choosing reasonable expectations for yourself can
prevent you from over-extending yourself.
A．Set some manageable goals.
B．Koinophobia can be problematic.
C．Instead,focus on something you enjoy.
D．There is always more that you can try to accomplish.
E．We’re all probably average or below average at something.
F．But also do care for yourself and give yourself space to have fun.
G．Moreover, many people on social media only post the great things they’re doing.
（25-26 高三上·安徽·开学考试）Keys to Entrepreneurial (创业者的) Success
Starting a business is often viewed as a challenging, high-risk venture. Many people dream of entrepreneurship
but don’t know where to start. You may be an ambitious entrepreneur waiting for the perfect idea, enough years of
experience, the right team, or significant funding to come your way. 1
Instead of overthinking what the market “needs”, examine your own life and identify a problem that you have
personally faced. People will say there are bad ideas, but every idea is good because it brings you closer to your best
idea. 2 That doesn’t make or break a business as much as your ability to execute (执行) and adapt.
The truth is, you can’t rely solely on that groundbreaking idea. 3 The fear or inability to execute is often
what holds entrepreneurs back. Execution isn’t about waiting for the perfect moment or gathering a team before you
get started. It’s about taking action, even when you don’t have all the answers.
Most people who start successful companies can appear slightly unreasonable at times for believing their ideas
will be the one to beat the odds. 4 Entrepreneurship is unique because you’re often working against
probability, and you’ll likely face lots of rejection. If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will either.
It’s important to remember that although there’s risk and some form of failure in every entrepreneurial journey,
successful entrepreneurs don’t let the fear of failure stop them. Don’t get so stuck weighing every risk and its potential
consequences that you’re made immobile.
5 You may not know exactly what your next step is, but if you wait for perfect clarity, you could
wait forever. Many entrepreneurs succeed not because they have everything figured out from the start but because
they are willing to jump in and figure it out as they go.
A．Successful entrepreneurship is 90% execution.
B．Entrepreneurship often doesn’t have a clear path.
C．Venture capital funding is essential for all startups.
D．But what if these barriers aren’t as important as you think?
E．The best entrepreneurs always have a perfect plan before starting.
F．But the ability to remain confident and focused is a great strength.
G．Your initial concept for a product or service is just the jumping-off point.
（25-26 高三上·重庆·开学考试）Have you ever wondered about the significance of emotions in our life?
1 Let me give you an example here: When you are with your loved ones, your mood changes instantly right?
Today, we will learn how to be emotionally capable and mature, and doing so will result in a better and happier life.
2
People interact with us like we are mind readers sometimes, this happens mostly in relationships. Your partner
would want you to know exactly what they want and when they want it, this can be extremely agonizing. Just as you
aren’t a mind reader, others aren’t too. Never rely on expectations, this way you will only feel miserable. Share your
needs with your loved ones and see the positive changes.
Mind Your Words
Oftentimes, we say a lot when we are emotional, especially when we are angry. 3 You need to mind
whatever you say or express, this can either make the other person love or hate you. The strategy in a stressful situation
is to focus on yourself instead of focusing on others, which will calm you down instantly.
Be Responsible For Your Actions
4 If you don’t own whatever you say or do, how can you become emotionally strong? Many people make
silly excuses and don’t take responsibility for their actions, that is where they hurt others and themselves. If you have
made a mistake and hurt others in the process, apologize immediately.
Avoid Negative People
You are known by the company you keep, this is always true. If you are surrounded by happy and motivated
people, you will always be happy. If you are surrounded by negative people that only bring others down then you will
always feel miserable. 5 Stay clear of people who emotionally manipulate others. Whenever you feel
something like that, cut ties with them immediately.
A．Communicate Your Needs
B．Always Question Your Thoughts
C．You must not let negative thoughts question your judgment.
D．To be emotionally intelligent, you need good supportive company.
E．Just like your words, you need to take full responsibility for your actions.
F．Emotions play a critical part in our lives and are infectious unless controlled.
G．If not controlled, this can have severe consequences, especially in your relationship.
（25-26 高三上·云南·阶段练习）Having a Talk with Your Parents
Start with a statement that’s to the point.
Start with a statement that explains the issue you want to address and will help you step into discussing your
feelings. 1 . Meanwhile, be brief and to the point when introducing the topic. For example, you can say “I
feel that it’s unfair that I couldn’t go to the party on Friday night.”
Use “I” statements.
When having a serious talk with your family, it’s inappropriate to say “you always” or “you never.” 2
. Avoid blaming other people or becoming defensive. Say “When I have to stay home on Saturday nights instead of
hanging out with Marissa, I feel sad and like I’m missing out on time with my friends.”
3 .
During this conversation, keep your voice down. Avoid yelling, cursing or whining at all costs. Take a few
deep breaths to calm down when you feel stressed. Remember that the more mature you are, the more likely they’ll
be able to understand you.
Talk about their concerns.
4 . Parents often have reasonable explanations for decisions, so try to understand where they are
coming from. For instance, perhaps your parents don’t want you to go out with your significant other. Spend time
with your significant other along with your parents until they feel comfortable with you two going out alone.
Give them some time.
Even if your parents do not understand you immediately, don’t worry! 5 . If you are hoping your
parents will change their mind about something, give them some time. For instance, if your mom said that you can’t
get an Xbox, wait until she approves it or until you have the money and are no longer living with her to do so.
A．Keep a calm tone
B．Tell them about your stress
C．You can open the chat with a statement calmly
D．You’d be patient before they can completely get you.
E．Instead, seek to comprehend their underlying worries
F．Alternatively, focus on your feelings, and stick to the facts
G．If you can understand the “why”, then you can address the problem
（25-26 高三上·北京海淀·开学考试）Many people think a good learner must keep steady focus. Yet new
studies show the opposite. When the mind gently drifts, it can still absorb facts. More importantly, it can connect
them in fresh ways. This process, called inferential learning, lets us go beyond the given facts and reach new
conclusions. 21
Mind-drifting gives the brain extra time. Suppose a student hears that plants bend toward light. 2
Neurons repeat the pattern without effort. This hidden rehearsal strengthens memory traces and keeps the door open
for later links.
Drifting invites remote associations. During a break, the same student may recall her kitchen window, where
the basil plant leans each morning. Two scenes—classroom and kitchen—meet in her mind. From this mix she may
infer that light direction, not just sunlight itself, guides plant growth. 3 However, focused study rarely allows
such loose pairing of places and times.
A wandering mind tests rules in private. While the teacher moves to the next topic, the student's thoughts may
run a quick test: "If the light comes from below, will the stem still bend up?" 4 These quiet experiments
sharpen understanding and prepare the learner for real tests later.
5 They forget that controlled wandering is not the same as chaos. Learners can set soft borders: after
twenty minutes of hard work, they allow five minutes of gentle drift. In this window, the mind roams but stays near
the topic. The result is deeper insight without lost time.
A．Critics may say distraction wastes time.
B．Mind-wandering breaks cognitive barriers.
C．No lab is needed; the brain runs a silent model.
D．This random access generates innovative ideas.
E．The leap is small, but it is new knowledge built on her own.
F．A wandering mind, it turns out, is a quiet helper in this work.
G．While her eyes look out of the window, her brain keeps the idea alive.

belts and join us for a way to let go of it all finally. 1 Instead, emotional decluttering is about parting with things
we don’t “need” anymore.
2 Well, it’s not as simple as you might think. There’s so much more to it than simply emptying
drawers and choosing a few things to throw away. In this article, we will focus on several things that might be difficult
to part with and how you can finally let go of them.
Old schoolwork, notebooks, and random paper items
I used to save all my old schoolwork and notes until a basement flood washed them away. At first, shock kicked
in, then sadness. 3 I never opened them after graduation. Lesson learned. I didn’t need them but was
attached to them instead. This was a great lesson in emotional decluttering. 4 It’s best to store them on
your phone or computer to free yourself of the clutter.
Your book collection
Nowadays, we all tend to purchase digital books that are far easier to store and catalog. But if you were like
me and had several bookshelves filled with books, you can declutter them. Sort them into two piles, keep and donate.
Of course, keep anything that has meaning to you and donate your books to your neighborhood HOA or local
library. 5
Plus, creating your new digital library is fun and exciting. It will also allow you to choose from some audiobooks
if you never tried them.
A．But that flood did me a favor.
B．That flood caused great damage to the community.
C．Unfortunately, most people think decluttering is easy.
D．At the same time, remember to buy only classic books.
E．So, if you have such things, you can scan or take pictures of them.
F．Of course, that doesn’t mean getting rid of everything in your home.
G．Either way, you can develop a sense of freedom by unloading your book collection.
（25-26 高三上·安徽·阶段练习）Successful team collaboration is essential for achieving complex goals. It
involves more than just working alongside others; it requires intentional strategies to use collective strengths. Then
how can a team collaborate effectively?
1
Every team member needs a shared understanding of the project’s objectives and their specific responsibilities.
This prevents misunderstandings and ensures accountability. Ambiguity in roles often leads to repeated efforts,

（2025·河北·三模）Think back to something you loved doing as a child or teenager. 1 Back then,
these old passions felt like a core part of who you were. But as life became busier, those activities slipped into the
background. Here’s my story about something I loved — playing the violin — and how I let it go.
Whenever I have to share my hobbies in an icebreaker, I hesitate to mention the violin. But actually it wasn’t
just a casual hobby for me. 2 Then life got in the way. I told myself I’d focus on exams, then on university,
then on my career. Now, years later, I realize I haven’t touched the violin in what feels like a lifetime.
I ask myself: If I never play again, what will I really lose? My high school teacher, Ms. Gulen, had an answer
to this question: “Pursue your hobbies and interests. 3 ” I can’t agree more with that. Stories matter. And
old passions are stories you can tell about who you are, and who you have been.
In my work now, I study how people comprehend their lives through the stories they tell. 4 People who
feel connected to their personal stories — who understand how their past experiences influence their current lives —
tend to feel more motivated, purposeful, and consistent with their values.
5 It connected me to music, to creativity, and to the friendships I built through shared passion. Being
“the girl who played the violin” gave me something different, something uniquely mine. Even though I haven’t played
in years, that part of my identity still feels important.

F．These stories play a significant role in their sense of well-being.
G．I spent hours practicing, preparing for concerts, and pouring my heart into it.

（25-26 高三上·广东·阶段练习）When your Home Becomes a Tourist Attraction
Have you ever looked at a beautiful little new house in London and thought “It must be so amazing to live
there”? 1 But for the people who actually do live in those homes, social media photography has changed
what it means to live in a pictures que place.
Alice Johnston is a longtime resident of Notting Hill, the London neighborhood famous for the beautifully-
painted row houses and for being the setting of the movie of the same name. Johnston, a journalist, has complicated
feelings about her Instagram- beloved neighborhood. She lives on Portobello Road, one of the capital’s most famous
streets. 2 Once, she and a friend were walking his bulldog when a tourist asked if they could “borrow” the
pup for a quick photo. The friend and the dog agreed, so the Instagrammer posed with the dog in front of a bright
blue door and then handed over five pounds as a thank you. In that story, everybody had a good time. 3 “I was
once
woken up at 6 a.m. on Easter Sunday by a French teenager taking pictures outside,” Johnston says.
4 Johnston, for example, tries to be sympathetic to travelers coming to her hometown, recalling how she
loved taking pictures of historic neighborhoods in Paris, Rome and the like. In fact, she recently found photos of
herself as a teenager hanging out at the Notting Hill Carnival years before she moved to the capital herself. 5
