Just then, Mr. Howard, an old carpenter (木匠),7 He smiled and said, "A strong tower, like a strong team, needs balance. Everyone has different strengths. Use them8 ".

How to Communicate Better
Do you know why some people can't understand your ideas clearly? Have you ever felt unheard even after talking a lot? Here are some tips to make your communication clearer.
Keep your audience(观众) in mind.
Talk about what your audience cares about, People are more likely to listen if you discuss things they find important. Focus on what matters to them. This will make them more interested and want to understand the information.
Don't use ten words when one will do. Even the most interested people can get bored. Keep your message simple and straight, Remember, you already know what you're going to say, but they are hearing it for the first time. Make it easy and clear for them to follow.
Let others join in.

①How did you spend your last holiday? Did you just stare at a screen from morning till night? Well, you are not alone. Anew survey shows that the average Chinese person spends over five and a half hours online every day. That's a lot of time scrolling(滚屏) and watching videos! But is this really helping us relax, or is it just making our brains tired?
②First, let's think about how we spend our time online. Most of us watch short videos rather than learning something new. This kind of low-value material doesn't help us relax-it actually makes our thinking less clear. The term "brain rot" perfectly describes what happens when we spend too much time on meaningless online things.
③Meanwhile, using the internet is like eating your favorite snack: it's hard to stop. Our phones and tablets are full of endless short videos and memes, making them like personal fun factories. It's easy and comfortable to just sit and scroll for hours, but this "easy fun"" comes at a cost. The more time we spend on screens, the less we enjoy real life. We're missing out on beautiful sunsets, heartfelt thanks, and fun hobbies. When did our lives become so boring?
④Also, we're forgetting how to relax in a meaningful way. Free time shouldn't just be about watching Douyin or Bilibili. Instead, it should be a chance to connect with the world. Nature doesn't W-Fi, has fresh air, sunlight, and birdsong. Spending time with friends in real life is much better than laughing alone at a memo on your screen.
⑤In short, life isn't about how much time you have-it's about how you use it. Screens are here to stay, but they shouldn't take over our free time. The summer holiday is coming soon. Will you choose to do something more meaningful? Remember," brain rot" real!
(1)、What does ""brain rot" mean in the passage?A、Enjoying real-life activities. B、Learning something new online. C、Feeling sad after watching videos. D、Thinking less clearly because of screen time.(2)、Why does the author compare Internet to snacks?A、It's a waste of time. B、It's not easy to control. C、It's bad for one's health. D、It's one way to have fun.(3)、What does the author suggest for a meaningful holiday?A、Chat with friends online. B、Stay indoors and use Wi-Fi. C、Spend time in nature or with friends. D、Watch more educational videos.(4)、What's the structure of the passage?A、B、

A Chinese company called DeepSeek has surprised many experts by creating its own AI software. AI is a computer system that can learn from experience and do tasks that normally need human thinking.
DeepSek uses AI, which can create things like texts and pictures based on(基于) what a person puts in. For example, you could ask it to write a shopping list, make up a story or you could use it to have a chat. Other popular AI tools, most of which were created in the US, include OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini.
The company behind DeepSeek's new app is based in China. It has fewer than 200 people working for it. DeepSeek said it cost £4.8 million to develop its software. This is much less than the £80 million that OpenAI's boss said was spent on its latest ChatGPT model.
The low cost of developing DeepSeek has made people ask whether US-based technology companies really need to spend so much on their AI software. What's more, DeepSeek is open, which means anyone can check how it was built. In addition, DeepSeek's user experience is excellent. Its chat website and mobile app arc free to use. They have a simple and clear design, so it's easy for users lo start using them. A few days after DeepSeek's new software came out, it became the most downloaded free app in the US.
However, some people are worried. They fear their information could easily be stolen by others or end up being misused by people who should not be allowed to have it. But overall, no AI tools right now can completely promise to keep users' information safe and private. And no one can doubt that DeepSeck has made a big difference in the AI field and is likely to bring more surprises in the future.
(1)、How does DeepSeek work?A、By copying other Al tools. B、By learning from experts' experience. C、By using AI to create texts. D、By changing human thinking.(2)、What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A、Which app is the best. B、Who DeepSeek is open to. C、How DeepSeek was built. D、Why DeepSeek is so popular.(3)、What makes some people worried when using DeepSeek?A、High cost. B、Slow speed. C、Dependence on AI. D、Information safety.(4)、What's the writer's attitude(态度) towards DeepSeek in the future?A、Hopeful. B、Doubtful. C、Worried. D、Unclear. -

①Since technology tends to be expensive at first, Al kitchens are just welcomed in restaurants and other businesses. Over time, prices are likely to fall enough for the home market, changing how we live and eat. Convenience can come at a great cost, so it's important to look ahead at the possible changes Al kitchens will bring.
②Undoubtedly, AI kitchens will bring great benefits. For example, it can take over boring tasks like peeling potatoes, letting people focus on creating new dishes. With AI kitchens, busy families will gain free time to spend together or finish important work. What's more, it can help people eat more healthily, like cutting down on sugar.
③However, cooking is more than just making food. It helps us feel grateful, creative, and connected. For example, when parents and kids cook together, they share stories and learn from each other. Without this, mealtimes might be less meaningful. Children will also miss out on learning science and math through cooking—like measuring the ingredients (食材) or watching bread rise.
④While AI can help with creativity, there are risks to culture. If robots only use popular ingredients, unique (独特的) local dishes may disappear. Also, can you imagine AI kitchens quietly erase the joy of sharing home-cooked meals with neighbors?
⑤What worries us most is that these smart machines sometimes are not so smart. We're not sure if they can find out the food that has gone bad to avoid accidents. What if a robot serves rotten fruit because it can't smell? Who would be responsible if a robot makes someone sick or gets hacked? These questions are as unclear as with self-driving cars.
⑥The kitchen is a special place in homes, neighborhoods and cultures. We should use robots wisely-—having them do boring and challenging jobs rather than allowing them to take the lead. This way, we can enjoy progress without losing the traditional cultures.
(1)、Why does the author mention "Convenience can come at a great cost" in Paragraph D?A、To lead in the topic. B、To teach readers a lesson. C、To offer a suggestion. D、To attract readers' attention.(2)、What are the advantages of AI kitchens according to the passage?①They can do boring tasks such as peeling potatoes.
②They allow busy families to have free time.
③They help people eat healthier food.
④They can help people cook faster.
A、①②③ B、①③④ C、②③④ D、①②④(3)、How did the writer show that cooking is not just about making food?A、By listing numbers. B、By sharing personal experiences. C、By providing examples. D、By making comparisons.(4)、What is the structure of the passage?A、B、

Twenty years ago, Wang Cuifen took her first bite of kale(羽衣甘蓝). The experience still remains fresh in her memory. "It was awful, bitter and even a bit salty," she said. "What could foreigners possibly want with such a terrible vegetable?"
Today, the kale she grows tastes different. "It's sweet, crisp, juicy and has a pleasant smell," Wang said in early March in her greenhouse, picking a few leaves to eat right away. "I eat a few leaves every day," she added. At 56, Wang is full of energy. She starts her day at 5 am and works tirelessly in her fields until evening, watering, weeding (除草), and taking care of the kale. "It's all thanks to eating kale," she laughed.
Why does kale become so tasty? Wang explains the change is all because of bio-organic fertilizers(有机肥料),which help the kale grow better and taste much sweeter. What makes Wang feel proud is that the kale is safe enough for babies to eat.
