The relationship between Jeffrey Pang and his son, Kevin Pang, was like hot-and-sour soup. It boiled over easily. The Pangs, who moved to the United States in 1988, wanted their son and daughter to know Chinese culture. As a video game-playing American teen, Kevin wasn’t interested.
But when Kevin became a food writer for the Chicago Tribune, he realized he had a valuable resource: his cook-loving dad. “My father and I shared, for the first time, a common interest. I would call to ask about recipes and cooking techniques. He would school me on the world of Chinese food,” Kevin writes in the introduction to the cookbook he has just published.
When it comes to cooking Chinese food, he points out that there is no one definition of Chinese food. “Chinese cooking is not hidebound. For example, consider baked pork chop rice(烤豬排飯), popularized in Hong Kong. It is a pork chop with egg-fried rice. And then you top it with this thick tomato sauce.” explains Kevin. “And then you top that with some cheese. It’s a very interesting combined dish that has some Western British influences, and it’s altogether very Chinese as well.”
By the time Kevin joined America’s Test Kitchen (ATK) staff in 2020 as its editorial director for digital content, his dad had become an Internet celebrity demonstrating the family’s recipes. Kevin recognized an opportunity not only to share his own family’s food stories but also to apply the ATK method of breaking down recipes into simple steps for the home cook.
“I think this cookbook can teach fathers and sons how to connect, how to find a common interest and improve their relationship.” Kevin says. That feeling has found a fan base, generating nearly 3 million views, for their online cooking series “Hunger Pangs”, where viewers speak highly of their father-son bond as much as they do of their attractive dishes. Today the Pangs’ relationship is rarely sour or hot.
24. Why would Kevin phone his father after becoming a food writer
A. To publish his Chinese cookbook. B. To inquire about hot-and-sour soup.
C. To seek permission for video games. D. To ask about cooking Chinese food.
25. What does the underlined word “hidebound” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Unpleasant. B. Changeable. C. Inflexible. D. Unpopular.
26. What can we infer about Kevin and his father from the passage
A. Their relationship has improved.
B. They run America’s Test Kitchen.
C. They do dishes to attract followers.
D. Their cookbook is about low-fat food.
27. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Cooking at home helps you cook well for less.
B. Father and son teach Chinese cooking together.
C. Chinese culture is becoming popular in the US.
D. Recipes and cooking techniques are really easy.

The Summer Olympics in Paris is always impressive, but 2024 promised something extraordinary even before the games began—the seats you are sitting on! Made from locally recycled plastic, these seats are sustainability(可持續性) champions in their own right.
The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics made history in terms of sustainability, as 11,000 stadium seats made entirely of recycled plastic are used during the water sports. The plastic used for the seats was collected from recycling bins in the Seine-Saint-Denis neighborhood, and 80% of the 100 metric tons needed for the seats came from this area. The collected plastic was cut and torn into small pieces, processed and turned into new material by a local recycling firm called Le Pavé.
After the base materials are produced into plastic seats with different colors, the seats have gone through numerous tests, including mechanical resistance, fire resistance, as well as UV resistance. The recycled plastic chairs proved to be strong enough, with producers reporting no problems in the production process.
The use of recycled plastic seats is part of Paris and France’s commitment to sustainability, with the goal of reducing downstream emissions(排放) by 50% compared to the 2012 and 2016 games. Additionally, the city is working to fight against environment worsening by making the Seine River swimmable for the first time in decades.
The recycled plastic seats not only promote sustainability but also raise awareness about waste recycling, with children being encouraged to throw their plastic bottles into appropriate bins. The Paris Olympics’use of recycled plastic seats demonstrates the potential of a circular (循環的) economy, where waste is repurposed and reused, ultimately reducing the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans.
28. What is special about the seats for the 2024 Paris Olympics
A. They won the championship in a competition.
B. They are made with a mix of plastic types.
C. They are made from recyclable plastic.
D. They are produced from local raw materials.
29. Where was the plastic for the seats mostly collected from
A. Recycling firms. B. Local recycling bins.
C. All over France. D. International suppliers.
30. What does the numerous tests mainly show in paragraph 3
A. The advantages of the seats.
B. The production process of the seats.
C. The difficulty of producing the seats.
D. The significance of the plastic seats.
31. What is one of the goals of using recycled plastic seats at the Paris Olympics
A. To create continued economic growth.
B. To reduce energy consumption.
C. To attract more attention to the games.
D. To contribute to environmental efforts.

When it comes to going green, intention can be easier than action. Case in point: you decide to buy a T-shirt made from 100% organic cotton. But that green label doesn’t tell the whole story—like the fact that even organic cotton requires more than 10,000 L of water to grow enough fibre for one T- shirt. Or the possibility that the T-shirt may have been dyed （染色） using harmful industrial chemicals. If you knew all that, would you still consider the T-shirt green Would you still buy it
It’s a hard question to answer. That’s because the global economy development is beyond our ability to understand the consequences—for ourselves and the planet. We are not prepared to understand the increasing impact of industrial chemicals on our children’s health or the climate. And we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we choose.
But what if we could work out the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well What if we could think ecologically That’s what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book, Ecological Intelligence. He compiles(匯編) the environmental and biological impact of our every decision and delivers that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically—understanding the global environmental consequences of our local choices.
Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy. It’s also about our ability to accept that we live in a closely connected world with limited resources. Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for thousands of years, villagers have survived severe conditions by carefully protecting every resource available to them. The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice. Neither do we. “We once had the luxury to ignore our impacts,” says Goleman. “Not any more.”
32. Why is it hard for us to decide whether a T-shirt is green or not
A. The green label tells lies. B. We lack enough knowledge.
C. The economy grows too slowly. D. We are misled by false data.
33. What does Ecological Intelligence encourage readers to do
A. Increase carbon footprints. B. Give up regular consumption.
C. Develop ecological thinking. D. Deliver information to customers.
34. How do the Tibetans of Sher live
A. By searching for new resources.
B. By living on plentiful resources.
C. By distributing resources reasonably.
D. By treasuring their resources seriously.
35. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To instruct productive industry how to go green.
B. To introduce and advocate ecological intelligence.
C. To warn people of the dangers of ecological crisis.
D. To illustrate the origin of ecological intelligence.

HOW TO DO HARD THINGS
It’s an inconvenient truth that the road to success isn’t a secret. Most of us know exactly what we need to do to improve our lives. 36 We prefer things that feel good and avoid things that we know are hard but most effective. Follow these tips to get hard things done with less struggle.
First, you need to make sure you know what the hard but effective thing is in the skill or job that you want to improve. 37 It’s usually the thing that creates the output. For writers, it’s writing. For musicians, it’s writing a song. For athletes, it’s doing a workout.
Figure out your why. Make sure you know why you want to do this hard thing. 38 So figure out your why and frequently remind yourself of it. Write it down and put it where you can see it. The stronger your why, the better.
39 Every day at a particular hour, you will do this hard thing. Pure focus, no multi-tasking. Take it easy at first and gradually lengthen the amount of time you spend on this. Enjoy it, too. You’re a winner and you can do it.
Leave the doubts behind. When you’re doing something hard, your brain will try to find ways to stop doing it. You’ll want to look things up or find easy ways of doing the hard thing. Don’t give in to these tempting arguments during your hard work sessions. 40
If you keep improving yourself by doing hard things, you’ll be getting better at your targeted skill. So don’t spend too much time working around the hard task. Just do the hard thing instead.
A. This should be easy to figure out.
B. Change your thinking so the hard thing looks good.
C. But we don’t do those things because they are hard.
D. Make a commitment and turn the hard thing into a habit.
E. If you are not clear about it, you’ll lose motivation quickly.
F. Do whatever you want after or before, but stay focused during.
G. Life is hard sometimes, and you will have to do hard things at some point.

Africa is a continent that everyone knows about, but not many fully understand. “If you haven’t been there 56 (your), you would never truly know what it’s like,” said 29-year-old Huang Siyuan.
From 2019 to 2022, Huang worked as a security 57 (engine) at a sewage(污水) treatment plant in the Republic of Equatorial Guinea. The plant 58 Huang worked for is in the capital, Malabo.
“I heard that locals used to throw their waste right in front of their doorsteps. Since mosquitoes breed(蚊子繁殖) there, the incidence of malaria(瘧疾) was 59 (extreme) high,” Huang said. With the sewage treatment plant, not only had the city’s appearance been transformed, 60 the health condition of the local people also improved.
A survey done by the WHO showed that after the plant 61 (put) into use, the incidence rate of malaria dropped from 45% to 11%. Even if someone is infected with malaria, it’s not a significant issue because of the availability of artemisinin, a drug 62 (discover) by the Chinese scientist Tu Youyou.
63 (keep) everything on track, Huang and his colleagues conducted routine checkups of sewage wells around the city. Sometimes they would run into local residents who would thank them for 64 (improve) the local living environment. Some would even offer food and fruits, but they couldn’t accept. “We regard their gratitude 65 the most precious reward,” he said.

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Lily and Susan had been the best of friends since kindergarten. They shared everything—from secrets to lunches—and were inseparable. One sunny afternoon, as they walked in the nearby park, chatting about their plans for the future, they saw an injured dog.
Without hesitation, Lily and Susan decided to help the poor little dog. They carefully held it and rushed to the nearest vet(獸醫) clinic. The vet assured them that the dog would be fine with some rest and medicine. Relieved, they decided to name the dog Lucky and take turns to care for it until it recovered.
Their act of kindness brought them even closer, and they spent many joyful hours playing with Lucky in the park. However, as high school progressed, their interests started to diverge (出現分歧). Lily became passionate about painting, spending hours in the art room perfecting her art works, while Susan developed a deep interest in science, joining the school’s science club and taking part in various competitions.
As time passed, they found themselves with less and less in common. One day, a misunderstanding occurred when Lily blamed Susan for ignoring Lucky because of her busy schedule. Susan felt hurt and believed that Lily didn’t understand the pressure she was under with her studies and extra-curricular activities. They argued, and for the first time, their friendship seemed strained.
Feeling disheartened, both girls went their separate ways. But despite their differences, they couldn’t shake off the memories of better times and the close relationship they once shared.
One evening, as Lily walked home from an art class, she noticed Susan sitting alone on the side of the road, looking deep in thought. She hesitated but then gathered up the courage to approach her. “Mind if I sit down ” she asked softly. Susan looked up, surprised but not unwelcoming. “I was just thinking about old times,” she admitted. “Me too,” Lily said quietly.
