About this event
This 3.5-hour interactive webinar (网络研讨会) will focus on ways we can share intercultural spaces with
one another. So many of us come from different backgrounds and cultures and it can be difficult to see another
person’s or culture’s perspective. We will discuss the multiple spaces and cultures we inhabit. In addition, we will
use comedy as a tool to “not take ourselves too seriously” and to aid us in finding solutions to these age-old challenges
we humans invent. We will “re-think” and “re-construct” how we position ourselves in our work and our lives so that
we might build bridges of trust with each other and with the clients we work with.
Educational objectivesRECOGNIZE the various spaces and cultures we inhabit individually as well as the various
spaces or cultures our clients may inhabit.
ANALYZE the ways this might be blocking us from building trust with one another and with our clients. (We
will be using comedic tools to keep this light.)
IDENTIFY three ways our perspectives may be blocking us from building trust with each other and with our
clients.
PROPOSE one way to re-think or re-construct the spaces we inhabit individually in order to build trust with
each other and with our clients.

New England Treehouses: Fall’s Nature retreat
New England’s fall treehouses mix natural beauty with comfort, offering front-row seats to red, yellow, and

treehouses, but North America leads: 2022-2024 bookings rose 65%. James Roth, a 25-year treehouse designer, notes

historic wildlife sanctuary. Inside, jetted tubs and gas fireplaces add luxury; guests bike to the main house for chef
Chris Eddy’s foliage-themed meals or to the spa for massages.
Mink Cove, Wareham, Massachusetts
Tucked in an Atlantic inlet, Mink Cove began as a sketch by Butch Ripley and his 8-year-old daughter, then
built from salvaged wood. Cozy with twinkle lights, it has a private outdoor shower and ocean scents — all surrounded
by fall’s red and black oaks.
Twin Farm, Barnard, Vermont
Near Silver Lake and a historic store, Twin Farm’s treehouses follow “blend with nature” logic. Guests enter at
ground level to reach 20-foot decks. Post-sunset, a gas fireplace warms; by day, people can hike to Doug’s Treehouse
Folly for a picnic amid Vermont’s fall colors.Tiffany Hill Treehouse, Sunapee, New Hampshire
A 5-minute drive from Mount Sunapee Park, this two-bedroom treehouse leans on a strong oak. It has radiant
heat, a propane fireplace, a kitchen, and a porch pulley for groceries — ideal for families. Fall surrounds it with

some 750,000 native speakers. Basque Country covers the border of Spain and France, centered around the Bay of

and survive for centuries in its original form. With its spread, it influenced many modern languages all across the
world, leaving loanwords everywhere it went.

Are You Controlled by Advertisements?
With advertisements all around us, from advertisements on the television to social media apps, the fear arises
about how they can influence our behaviour. Often, the desire to buy something emerges only because it has affected
our minds through advertisements and may not be a real need of ours. Here are three things we can do to resist the
urge to make an unnecessary purchase.
Educate OurselvesFirstly, we have to be
aware of commonly used emotional and
psychological strategies. For example, some
advertisements may feature friends having an
enjoyable time at a cafeteria, making us think
that going there is a good way to have fun with
friends. It appeals to our need for happiness and
fun.
Avoid Emotional BuysWhen we come Question the MessageThe next step is to
across an advertisement for something assess whether the advertisement's core message
attractive, we may feel forced to buy it is reasonable. In the cafeteria example, we wouldneed to question the message that eating at a

It would be best to give ourselves some time to consider if we really need the item or experience and if it is
wise to spend our money in this way. Let us remember that advertisers are well aware of the way our minds work,
and they can easily make us purchase what we may later regret buying. Always strive to see through the smokescreen

A．Offering a lot of testers. B．Appealing to consumers’ feelings.
C．Providing product introductions. D．Focusing on the quality of products.
2．How can consumers assess the advertisement’s core message?
A．By interviewing other consumers. B．By distinguishing reasons and results.
C．By comparing different advertisements. D．By questioning it based on personal needs.
3．What does the author suggest to prevent emotional buys?

Passage 1
(2026·高三·湖南·一模)
Nowadays, more and more emphasis is being placed on a building’s “green” certification. On Earth Day, look
through four noteworthy green buildings from around the world.
One Central Park (Sydney, Australia)
A park at the foot of the building literally continues up the structure, as vegetation of 250 species of Australian
plants and flowers cover One Central Park. An architectural website says it has 25% less energy consumption
compared with a conventional building of its size.
Shanghai Tower (Shanghai, China)
Shanghai Tower has a transparent second skin wrapped around the building which creates a zone of captured air
that serves as natural ventilation (通风), reducing energy costs. Besides, 270 wind devices incorporated into the right
side power its outside lights.
Marco Polo Tower (Hamburg, Germany)Each floor of Marco Polo Tower is turned a few degrees away from the one below, around an axis (轴线). This
allows for recessed (嵌入式) buildings that protect residents from direct sun. This tower also includes many other
green features. There is a heat exchanger on the roof that turns warm air into a cooling system. And the natural
ventilation can make residents sleep soundly without being disrupted by outside noise.
Torre Reforma (Mexico City, Mexico)
Torre Reforma rises to 807 feet and stands tall on energy-saving measures, too. The tower’s slimness maximizes
the amount of natural light let in, which in turn cuts down on the need for electric lights. And when the weather
permits, controls can automatically open windows to let air in.
1．What do we know about One Central Park?
A．It makes full use of solar energy.
B．It uses a great cooling system.
C．It has many plants and flowers.
D．It has self-control windows.
2．What do the Shanghai Tower and Marco Polo Tower have in common?
A．They are naturally ventilated.
B．They are both transparent.
C．They generate electricity by wind.
D．They harvest energy from sunshine.
3．Where can the text be found?
A．In science fiction. B．In an architectural magazine.
C．In an autobiography. D．In a weather report.

Clean Energy: The Future Is Here
Nearly a century ago, Thomas Edison envisioned using the sun’s boundless energy. Today, that vision is a
reality. “Clean energy” covers various technologies — here are five ways to use virtually limitless power sources:

the details:
Renewable Energy Generation: 2012 vs. 2030/ TWh
“I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until

progress—the world’s shift to renewable energy is growing fast. This helps the world meet its increasing power needs
in a more sustainable way, and build a cleaner, healthier, and brighter future.
1．Which type of clean energy has the lowest cost?
A．Solar. B．Waterpower. C．Wind. D．Geothermal.
2．How much is the expected growth in biomass generation from 2012 to 2030?
A．3,100 TWh. B．3,646 TWh. C．4,000 TWh. D．4,900 TWh.
3．Why does the author quote Edison?
A．To warn of the energy shortage.
B．To reflect the crucial role of coal at his time.
C．To honor his great contributions.
D．To appreciate the evolution of energy.Passage 3

EVENT: Wild Wolves of Yellowstone
SPEAKERS: Doug Smith
TOPICS: Wildlife Science
LANGUAGES: English
Yellowstone National Park contains many stories, including one of the best case studies in wildlife conservation.
Wildlife biologist and National Geographic Explorer Doug Smith led the project that reintroduced gray wolves in the
1990s. We join him on assignment in the park to see how the landscape has changed since the wolves arrived,
including never-before-seen photos and videos of the quest to bring back this apex predator.

Doug Smith served as a wildlife biologist at Yellowstone National Park for nearly three decades and studied
everything from beavers to birds. Most importantly, he led the Yellowstone Wolf Project, which reintroduced gray
wolves to the park. He’s written numerous scientific publications and has been featured in four National Geographic
television specials. He has also written and edited several books about the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, including
the 2023 book: Yellowstone’s Birds: Diversity and Abundance in the World’s First National Park.
