New Yorkers looking to reduce, reuse, and save money this year are invited to participate in Stop ‘N’ Swap,
a free community event organized by local nonprofit GrowNYC．
The average NYC household throws away about 2,000 pounds of waste a year. By reusing through events like Stop
‘N’ Swap, NYC residents can take part in saving over 40 million pounds of material from landfill every year. Take a
break from shopping, support a cleaner future, and join the ever-growing reuse community!
WHAT: Free Stop ‘N’ Swap Community Reuse Event
WHEN: February 19th，12pm-3pm
WHERE: Bronx Works Classic Community Center-286 East 156th Street, Bronx, NY 10451
The public is invited to bring clean and reusable items. No one is required to bring something to take
something-you can simply show up with a bag and see what’s free for the taking. Books, toys, clothing, and
electronics are just some of the offerings. Furniture and other large items are not accepted at the swap. Anything
leftover at the end of the day is donated or recycled.
Stop ‘N’ Swaps have developed a regular following among environmentally conscious New Yorkers. After
almost two years without swaps, GrowNYC has set a goal of hosting one swap in each of the city’s 59 community
districts each year, providing opportunities to make NYC truly livable-a place where every person can enjoy a
healthier life.

This year, my two oldest sons asked me to sign them up for piano lessons. For certain reasons, I decided it
would also be a good time for me to take up the piano again, after 30 years.
As a child, I learned not just the piano, but the cello. I played in two orchestras and sang in the school choir.
No one forced me to do any of it, but it wasn’t quite a free choice either. When you are the approval-addicted
daughter of an over-invested mother, no one needs to apply force. My mom and I were well matched partners in the
dance of unspoken expectation and approval-seeking. I did her forcing for her.
For my mother, my musical industriousness wasn’t so much about achievement as identity. She was
American by birth, and after marrying my university professor father and moving to London, she spent a decade
working to be accepted into the impatient, fraught world of British intellectual society.
In this environment, a diligent daughter lugging a giant cello was a tiny amount of cultural capital, a ticket to
belonging. As much as anything could, music made me into the person my mother needed me to be, so that she
could be the person she needed to be, in order to escape who she actually was.
And for my part, although I never truly believed that my mother’s love was conditional, I did have the
suspicion that there was a performance-related bonus in there.
It was foolish to think that taking up the piano at the same time as my own children would be emotionally
uncomplicated. Or perhaps the complication was exactly why I sought it out. Somehow, the piano lessons turn me
into both my childhood self, seeking my mother’s approval, and into my mother herself, putting the same high
expectations on my own children.
My mother was lucky in that I was temperamentally (性情地) suited to the role she assigned me. My sons
are not so much so. They are rambunctious and restless, not wired for lengthy sessions of sitting still and reflecting
well on me.
Unconditional love may be at the defining heart of parenthood, but sometimes it can feel impossible to
accommodate unconditional love to the worldly practices of day-to-day parenting. The whole job seems set up for
conditionality: It would be dishonest to pretend that we have no stake in wanting our children to reflect our own
values and preferences.
I’m disappointed when my sons won’t play their role in the script I have written for them, but deep down,
I’m also a little thrilled. They are maddeningly, gloriously resistant to the pressure. A secret part of me is delighted
by their raging demands for full personhood — beyond my projections and hopes and fears. By the life they claim.

We often find it hard to tear our eyes away from screens — an urge so intense that it messes with our focus
and our cognitive ( 认知的) health, which is known as “brain rot”. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as the
degradation of mental state due to overconsumption of online content. It refers to the dull stuff on social media and
its negative impact on brain health.
“There’s an arms race to develop digital content and platforms that can grab people’s attention and compete
in a digital market,” says Adam Leventhal, a professor at the University of Southern California. “Digital content
and platforms that win the arms race are increasingly addictive.” Dr. Leventhal adds, “They pull people into ‘digital
addiction’ and expose consumers to unhealthy content.”
Though not an official diagnosis (诊断), “brain rot” can cause cognitive and emotional problems. “Too
much screen time can negatively affect attention, concentration, learning, memory, emotional regulation, and social
functioning,” Dr. Manwell says. “Brain rot” occurs as screen time replaces activities beneficial to the brain, such as
exercise and socializing. Passive, rapid scrolling while multitasking or trying to work or study at the same time also
contributes, resulting in divided and reduced attentional resources and leading to poorer learning and memory
capabilities. Manwell says, “There are often also corresponding effects on the brain such as reduced gray matter
and white matter, leading to damaged processing capacity and efficiency.”
To fight against “brain rot”, changes can be made. Manwell suggests altering digital media habits, like taking
screen breaks and limiting certain apps. There are apps to track screen time and enforce digital detox. For long-
term improvement, Manwell recommends replacing screen time with activities like meditation, exercise, and
learning new skills. If screen use is work-related, find alternatives like printing materials or having in-person
meetings. When on a screen, focus merely on the task to decline multitasking’s negative effects. Overall, being
aware and making lifestyle adjustments can help prevent and reverse (逆转) the impact of “brain rot”.
8．According to the text, what do we know about “brain rot”?
A．A kind of serious disease officially diagnosed by doctors.
B．The loss of cognitive abilities caused by using digital platforms.
C．The negative impact of overusing digital devices on physical health.
D．The decline of mental well-being due to overconsuming online materials.
9．What can we infer from Adam Leventhal’s words?
A．The competition among digital contents and platforms is fierce.
B．Digital platforms are developed to help people improve their mental health.
C．The digital content that wins the attention competition is usually less addictive.
D．The development of digital content and platforms leads to some negative effects.
10．What does the underlined phrase “digital detox” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Using digital devices frequently.
B．Taking a break from digital devices.
C．Giving up using digital technologies.
D．Replacing with advanced digital products.
11．What is the main theme of the text?
A．The harms and solutions of “brain rot”. B．The effect of addictive digital platforms.
C．The importance of socializing in daily life.
D．The impact of “brain rot” on digital device.

A new kind of solar panel, developed at the University of Michigan, has achieved high efficiency in
transforming water into hydrogen and oxygen — imitating a crucial step in natural photosynthesis(光合作用). The
outdoor version of the experiment, with less reliable sunlight and temperature, achieved 6.1% efficiency at turning
the energy from the sun into hydrogen fuel. However, indoors, the system achieved 9% efficiency.
But the biggest benefit is driving down the cost of sustainable hydrogen. This is enabled by reducing the size
of the semiconductor( 半导体), typically the most expensive part of the device. The team’s self-healing
semiconductor withstands concentrated light equivalent to 160 suns.
“We believe that artificial photosynthesis devices will be much more efficient than natural photosynthesis,
which will provide a path toward carbon neutrality,” said Zetian Mi, U-M professor of electrical and computer
engineering who led the study reported in Nature.
One major advance of the new technology is the ability to concentrate the sunlight without destroying the
semiconductor that traps the light. “We reduced the size of the semiconductor by more than 100 times compared to
some semiconductors only working at low light intensity,” said Peng Zhou, U-M research fellow in electrical and
computer engineering and first author of the study. “Hydrogen produced by our technology could be very cheap.”
The next challenges the team intends to tackle are to further improve the efficiency and to achieve superhigh
purity hydrogen that can be directly fed into fuel cells.
12．What leads to the lower cost of sustainable hydrogen?
A．Solar energy.
B．Smaller semiconductors.
C．Natural photosynthesis.
D．More concentrated light.
13．Why is the advance of the new solar panel mentioned?
A．To introduce a greener lifestyle.
B．To promote its commercial value.
C．To state its technical breakthrough.
D．To advertise the potential application.
14．What may be the author’s attitude towards the new technology?
A．Indifferent.
B．Negative
C．Objective
D．Suspicious
15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．A New Trend in Water Usage
B．The Future of Sustainable Hydrogen
C．Solar Energy: More Efficient, Greener
D．A New Device for Cheaper Hydrogen

How do you feel about exams?
1 6
On the contrary, is it an experience you enjoy because it’s your
time to shine? Every year, many young people sit exams and whether they love or hate them, most of them will face
some anxiety before the big day.
If you’re anxious about your exams, don’t worry. You’re not alone.
1 7
When the pressure is on to
pass that all-important test, take a deep breath and absorb some good advice from people who’ve been through the
same experience as you.

Nutritional therapist Kerry Torrens recommends making breakfast the most important meal of
the day. She recommends eating energy-giving oats and eggs. Some research even suggests students who take water
into the exam hall may even improve their grades.
One thing I know I always need is a good night’s sleep to help me work and think better the next day.
1 9
If you get good sleep your memory is better and that means you can retain the information you have
revised.
According to Lisa Artis from the Sleep Council, sitting on your bed when you’re cramming is not a good
idea because then you associate that place with stress. Revising for exams can also sometimes seem cruel, so it’s
good to take breaks and reward yourself with a small treat, like a cake or a quick run around the block. There comes
a point when your brain can’t absorb any more information.
2 0
A．However, your brain is free of tiredness.
B．Is it the one thing you are frightened of?
C．Thus, you’ll also need to know when to stop.
D．Is it the only thing that you are really keen on?
E．Eating the right food can feed your brain and keep you energetic.
F．It might seem like a stressful time for everyone in the same situation.
G．And that’s what’s recommended for anyone preparing for their exams.

During the holiday season, the classroom felt unusually quiet, missing the usual noise of students talking and
laughing. The festive spirit seemed to have taken a break, leaving behind an air of stillness.
Mia, a shy and reserved girl, sat at her desk, staring out the window, lost in thought. Her heart was heavy
with sadness and regret. Two weeks ago, she had argued with her best friend and classmate, Jack, over something
that now seemed no big deal — a disagreement about their holiday plans. Jack wanted to go skiing with his family
in the mountains, while Mia insisted on staying home with her beloved pet dog, Max. What had started as a minor
difference of opinion quickly blew up into a big argument, and they hadn’t spoken since.
Mia loved Max more than anything. He had been her faithful companion since childhood, always there with
a wagging tail, walking with her and offering her comfort whenever she felt lonely or afraid. With her parents often
busy with work, it was Max who filled the empty spaces in her life. This holiday season, especially, she felt the
need to be close to him. It had become a tradition for Mia to spend her holidays nestled up to Max, watching old
movies and enjoying the quiet companionship they shared. But during their argument, Jack had called her selfish,
accusing her of never wanting to try new things or go on adventures like everyone else. His biting words had cut
deep, and Mia had walked away, too hurt and too proud to respond.
As the days passed, festive decorations filled the streets, and holiday cheer seemed to surround her, but Mia
couldn’t shake her loneliness. Her classmates excitedly discussed their plans, and laughter bounced along the
hallways. Everyone seemed joyful — everyone except Mia. She missed Jack terribly. She missed how he could
make her laugh, their inside jokes, and their late-night conversations about everything under the sun. But her pride
kept her from reaching out. She told herself she wasn’t ready to apologize, even though deep down, she longed to
fix their friendship.
