“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.
One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long disappeared under the thick leaves.
Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.
24. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose
A. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
B. Cages placed around the roots.
C. Tomato plants grown alongside.
D. A lot of care and the right soil.
25. The writer planted the tomato plant because______.
A. there was room for it in the garden
B. the soil was just right for it
C. it cost only $1.25
D. the roses’ branches needed to be covered
26. This year the writer’s roses were_______.
A. removed from the rose bed
B. largely hidden under the tomato plant
C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight
D. picked along with the tomatoes
27. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in Paragraph 5, the writer wants to_________.
A. express her liking for the roses
B. show the hardship of growing the roses
C. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes
D. express her care for the tomatoes
C
Ten years ago, when asked about popular activities for fun, many people would say going to KTV or amusement parks. However, young people now spend their free time at health clubs, or getting tuina (推拿), or even foot massage to experience traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practices, such as acupuncture (针灸).
A survey in 2023 by China Youth Daily showed that 93.3% of 1, 000 young people have tried TCM. A TCM doctor named Ma Huifang said that many young people are coming to her for health problems like neck and back pain, and dry eyes, which used to be seniors’ problems. These issues are becoming common in young people because of bad lifestyles and too much stress. When choosing between Western medicine and TCM, young people like TCM better because it works well for their health problems. Some people say TCM is not scientific enough, but Ma thinks TCM is more accurate because it treats people based on their own needs.
TCM is becoming a big part of young people’s lives. They are learning TCM skills to help themselves and others. Jin Ying, a 25-year-old student at Minzu University of China, is an enthusiast of TCM. She learned acupuncture and tuina at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. She even helped her roommate with insomnia (失眠) using ear seeds from a therapy called auricular acupoint therapy.
Jin also follows the Five Elements theory in her daily life. In winter, she saves energy by not sweating too much. For her, learning TCM is about living a new way of life and understanding Chinese culture. “TCM helps young people learn about our national heritage and see it as a treasure of our culture,” Jin says.
28. How has young people changed their free time activity in the past few years
A. They have stopped going to health clubs.
B. They only enjoy western medicine for the treatment.
C. They now spend more time joining healthy activities.
D. They now prefer going to KTV and amusement parks.
29. Why do young people prefer TCM therapies according to Ma Huifang
A. They are cheaper than other methods. B. They change their bad lifestyles.
C. They deal with too much stress. D. They are useful for treatments.
30. What does the underlined word “accurate” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Personalized. B. Advanced. C. Useful. D. Special.
31. Why does the writer mention Jin Ying
A. To show Jin Ying’s skills. B. To prove the acceptance of TCM.
C. To praise Jin Ying’s kindness. D. To explain the progress of TCM.
D
At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious.
Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.
When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage I thought.
In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me.
I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully.
During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”
32. What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”
A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it.
B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning.
C. She understood the intention but still disliked it.
D. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed.
33. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______.
A. pick up a new hobby B. reconnect with her origin
C. gain insights into a new culture D. fit in with local community
34. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______.
A. reflects the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy
C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice
35. What does the author intend to tell us
A. Appreciate what our culture offers. B. Find beauty from your inner self.
C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. We are the sum of what we create.

With digital learning gaining popularity, some students choose to learn from home using computers and the internet. They used websites and digital books instead of paper ones. But are they learning as well as they think
Studies show that reading on paper is easier to understand than reading on a screen. Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway, says reading on paper is calm and attracts our attention, unlike the reading on a screen.
Experts say that while screens are good for quick news, complex texts are better on paper. They help us remember details better. A study by Lauren Singer Trakhman found that students understood the main ideas whether they read on paper or a screen, but they missed small details on screens. Reading on screens might make us read faster but not as deeply. Our brains might be getting used to quick information from digital media and not thinking carefully about what we read.
Some research shows that our brains react differently to paper and screens. Reading on paper can make us feel more and understand the space around us better.
So what can we do We shouldn’t stop using screens, but we should think about what we read on them. Singer Trakhman says she uses her Kindle for fun but turns to paper for serious reading. To remember what we read on screens, we can try writing down the main points by hand. It might help us remember better than typing. And sometimes, turning off our devices and reading a real book can be very nice.
36. What does Anne Mangen think of reading on paper
A. It is better for reading quick news.
B. It brings peaceful reading experience.
C. It provides a new adventure for readers.
D. It helps to improve communication abilities.
37. Why might students miss details when reading on screens
A. Screens make the text harder to read.
B. The text on screens is usually less detailed.
C. Students tend to read quickly and not think deeply.
D. Screens make it difficult to understand the main ideas.
38. What can be inferred from Lauren Singer Trakhman’s reading habits
A. She hardly uses screens in daily reading.
B. She likes using Kindle for all types of reading.
C. She thinks Kindles are suitable for serious reading.
D. She prefers to use paper for challenging literature.
39. Which is the best title for this passage
A. The Advantages Digital Learning Brings
B. Reading on Paper vs. Reading on Screens
C. How Reading on Paper Shapes Students
D. The Importance of Online Learning at Home

Making friends as an adult can be tough, but it isn’t impossible. 40
According to psychologist and friendship expert Dr Marisa G Franco, there is a necessary element for starting a friendship: continuous unplanned interactions (being in the same place and the same time, again and again). When we’re younger and at school or university, this is much easier as we’re automatically placed within a wide network of people who are all going through the same thing. 41 Unless we make the effort to put ourselves in situations where we’ll be among others, we probably won’t meet anyone new. So, your first step should be going to places where you can meet people.
42 You also have to make the effort to engage with them. Introduce yourself and try to strike up a conversation. 43 This is fine: just keep at it until you find someone that you click with. Interestingly, a study by Cornell University found that most people underestimate how much people like them when they meet new people. So even if you feel a bit awkward, chances are that other people won’t see you in this way.
Once you’ve built up a friendly connection with someone, you need to give that relationship time to develop. Keep showing up and be intentional about the effort you put in with that person, while having enough confidence in the relationship to not be too demanding of them. 44
A. Friends, like books, should be few but good.
B. Sometimes it will go well, sometimes it won’t.
C. But as we get older, we have less time to just hang out.
D. It’s not enough to just be in the room with these folks, though.
E. Nevertheless, making friends with right people is full of benefits.
F. Unfortunately, though, there is no way to avoid the time and effort it takes.
G. Over time, your shared experiences will bring the two of you closer together.

According to one legend, dumplings first appeared during the Han Dynasty. 60 (rough) 1800 years ago, the story goes, a physician named Zhang Zhongjing returned to his hometown, during a cold winter. He found his fellow villagers with frostbitten ears and created a new dish to help them warm up. The ingredients he chose 61 (consist) of mutton, herbs, and spices, 62 effects were to drive away cold. The doctor wrapped them 63 dough and folded the pieces to look like tiny ears. Dumplings 64 (continue) to take off and diversify since then. Typically 65 (fill) with meat or vegetables, the simple bites are distinguished by their pleated (起褶皱的), wheat dough wrappers. They’re often served for the Chinese New Year, though not because they look like crescent moons(新月).
Traditionally, if you want to wish someone good fortune in China, you feed dumplings with a coin hidden inside and anyone 66 gets this coin will be lucky in the coming year. Making dumplings together with the whole family creates a lively atmosphere, 67 everyone is actively engaged, laughing, and sharing stories. Today, Jiaozi is still 68 must in winter in most parts of northern China, especially during the Spring Festival. No words can precisely describe Chinese people’s affection for dumplings, as the food has already become a symbol of home and 69 (warm).
