Dealing with judgment from other people can be tough. Judgmental people are just unavoidable. ____1____ The tips below will show you the best ways to respond when someone judges you.
____2____
Try not to take any judgmental words personally. Remember that a judgmental person’s words are a reflection of their own beliefs — and not yours. Remind yourself of all the things you do well and keep a list of your best traits and achievements to boost your confidence.
Be sympathetic.
____3____ It could be that they were judged themselves by parents, family, or friends, in which case this person’s critical attitude would be something they learned. While that doesn’t excuse their behavior, having compassion can inform your response. Say things like “I’m not sure I agree, but I understand your position and I’ll take time to think it over. Thank you for sharing.”
Ask for clarification.
____4____ Ask this person to explain what they said, and find out their motivation for saying it. Some people have good intentions but end up sounding judgmental when they’re trying to help. Before you interpret this person’s words a certain way, make sure you know their true meaning and why they felt the need to judge you.
Calm down and respond rationally(理性地).
Being judged is never fun, and it’s natural for you to feel hurt and emotional right after it happens. So you should stay collected. Getting defensive or judgmental in return is unlikely to help them see the error of their ways, and more likely to start a fight. If you get angry, take several deep breaths until you feel yourself calming down. Excuse yourself briefly if you need to. ____5____
A．Separate yourself from the judgment.
B．Try understanding the source of this person’s judgment.
C．But you can deal with their criticism using positivity and sympathy.
D．Think of each situation where you feel judged as a learning experience.
E．Take a quick walk, and return to the conversation when you feel ready.
F．Judgmental people may not know they’re being rude or unreasonable.
G．Explain why their words have bothered you and make sure this won’t happen again.

For some people, income, fame, and a good work-life balance are the most important aspects when choosing a career (职业) path.____6____. Looking for a job where you can make a difference? Here are some choices worth exploring.
Emergency services
Whether you choose to join the police, ambulance, or fire and rescue service, there are plenty of roles in this field.____7____. You’ll never have a boring day at work, but you’ll also have to deal with a lot of pressure and stress on a regular basis since a job as a first responder is both mentally and physically demanding.
____8____
Caring for those in need can give you a sense of purpose and help you connect with people on a deeper level, so it’s a very rewarding job. But this career path can be equally demanding, stressful, and exhausting. Empathy, patience, compassion, great communication skills, good observation, initiative, and physical strength are some of the most important caregiver skills and qualities you need in this field.
Charity work

It is always good to learn new things, especially kindness. ____11____, here are some ways for you.
Show kindness to yourself first

____13____
If you want to be kind, you need to listen to people. Most of the time, if a stranger on the street asks for some money, you may first think they are trying to cheat. But what if you’re wrong? You’ll never know unless you listen. Therefore, from now on, make an effort to listen actively.
Build positive thinking skills
A positive thought is one of the most important things you can do when learning to be kind. If your life is full of negativity, you will never be able to spread positive emotions into the world.

Does gardening leave you feeling happy and relaxed? Your brain might be telling you something! ____21____With all the digging, lifting, watering, planting and moving, it is clear how gardening can have many physical benefits. But research shows that these benefits can also affect our minds as well!
In Japan, there is a growing trend called forest bathing, where people immerse themselves in the outdoors as a way to relax and improve concentration. Why has this caught on? ____22____Studies have shown that forest bathing forces people to disconnect from distractions and be more mindful of their immediate surroundings. This can also happen while gardening. If you’ve ever weeded a garden bed, you will know that it requires a high degree of focus in order to identify unwanted plants. ____23____
Another important aspect of gardening is getting your hands dirty, and research show that this can improve your mental health. Scientists have discovered that the mycobacterium (分枝杆菌) found in soil can improve brain function. The micro bacteria found in the soil increases serotonin produced in the brain (also known as the “happy” chemical). ____24____
There’s also the sentimental (情感的) attachment to your garden. Gardening takes effort and because of this, a natural responsibility for the survival of your plants starts to rise with you.

Money Tips for Teenagers: Your Future Self Will Thank You
Starting good money habits now will put you ahead for the rest of your life.
Understand the power of time.
You probably aren’t making much money right now, but that doesn’t matter. ___26___ Let’s look at an example: At the end of your summer job, you have $1,000. You put your money in the bank. The bank will pay you interest (利息) at an annual rate of 5%. You don’t use one cent for 50 years. At the end of those 50 years, you will have $11,467.4.
____27____
The power of habit is almost as important as the power of time when it comes to money. If you start the habit of saving money now, that habit will always be with you. Every dollar you get, whether it’s a gift, an allowance (零钱), or pay from a job, get into the habit of saving it. ___28___ But if you started saving much more than that at an early age, it wouldn’t seem hard to you because it’s just a habit.
Avoid FOMO.
FOMO is fear of missing out. When you’re a teenager, it’s easy to think everyone is having more fun than you are. And sometimes, people are having more fun than you. That’s true no matter how young or old you are. ___29___
If you ask people older than you what their biggest financial (经济的) regret is, a lot of them will tell you that they wished they had started getting serious about money much earlier than they did. ___30___
A．Time flies.
B．What matters is time.
C．Start a money saving habit.
D．Start now so you don’t have that same regret.
E．The older you get, the harder it can seem to save your money.

How similar are language and music?
Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. ____31____ Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities.
Both language and music have a writing system.
In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes (音符) to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. ____32____ By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition (作品) of someone who lived hundreds of years ago.
____33____
You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language he uses. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.
Both share emotion.
____34____ Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. ____35____ I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics (歌词).
A．Both are expressive.
B．Both vary with culture.
C．How do you know that I am angry?
D．We use language to express our thoughts.
E．Similarly, music is part of many people’s lives.

Unforgettable Book Throws Light on Racism (种族歧视)
Today, I would like to recommend a book to you, which taught me an important lesson about prejudice and racism. ____36____ The story is set in Alabama in the southern US, where the author grew up.
The main character in this novel is a lawyer named Atticus Finch from the American South. The American South in the 1960s was known to be a place where many white people looked down upon black people, except for Finch. When the local judge asked him to defend a black man named Tom Robinson, who was wrongly accused of raping a white woman, Finch agreed. ____37____ Still, Finch fought to discover the truth, even though he was under threat. He proved that Robinson is innocent (清白的). As Finch’s son Jem and daughter Scout grew up, they started to see more racial prejudice around them. ____38____
The author Lee was born in Monroeville, Alabama in 1926. In her childhood, she, like Scout and Jem, learned about racial prejudice and the damage it could do. To Kill a Mockingbird was her first and only novel published. ____39____
For me, the most memorable quotes in the book are “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but… sing their hearts out for us. ____40____” The description of childhood innocence in the story through Scout and Jem is connected with the dark evils of prejudice in the town, which provides a dramatic contrast and enables you to understand how dangerous racism and prejudice are. I want to recommend this book because it contains slightly complex and interesting sentence structures. It is a book that you will never forget.
A．It took her seven years to complete.
B．Racism exists at all levels of society.
C．People worked for the rights of black people.
D．But many people tried to stop Finch from doing his job.

Self-forgiveness has been defined as the process by which you become aware of any damage you’ve caused, seek to repair it, and eliminate or reduce your feelings of self-condemnation and guilt.
Forgiving yourself entails experiencing feelings of self-condemnation. ____41____ However, you must be careful not to confuse self-forgiveness with self-indulgence, self-deception, and narcissism. Forgiving yourself, on the other hand, means reestablishing your self-concept, rejoining your recognized path, and amending your mistakes.
Self-forgiveness involves changing the way you think about your past mistakes. It’s of vital importance to stop interpreting them as sources of shame and regret. ____42____ In reality, relating in a healthier way with your past is essential to recognize and value your changes and to help your personal growth.
____43____ In order to forgive yourself, you must, first of all, recognize your mistakes in the situation that’s causing you to feel guilty. From there, you can clearly express your will to repair the damage and to empathize with those who’ve been affected by your actions.
The ability to forgive yourself also implies your firm belief that change is possible. ____44____ As a matter of fact, it simply means you’re aware of it. In addition, you’re aware of the importance of identifying what you can change in yourself to avoid repeating the same mistake in the future.
Finally, the last dimension of self-forgiveness is the awareness that you’re only human, hence, not perfect. Consequently, you’re capable of failing at any point in your life. Recognizing yourself as part of humanity can also help you to be more compassionate towards others. ____45____
A．Self-forgiveness goes beyond feelings of self-pity.
B．This doesn’t refer to ignoring the fault you committed.
C．Self-forgiveness promotes your justice and reparation to others.

Why is Eating Colourful Food Good for You?
Most of us are faced with the same choice numerous times a day: what to eat. Along with price, accessibility and preference, we’ll often use a food’s healthfulness to help us make a decision. ___46___
It’s widely accepted by researchers that we need a varied diet. ___47___ The proof may be in the Mediterranean diet, which contains a lot of fruit, vegetables and healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil, and is frequently rated the healthiest diet by scientists.
Eating lots of colours may lower your risk of missing out on all vital nutrients. “If we’re missing a colour of the rainbow, we may be missing a function of that food,” says Minich. This is because plant foods contain thousands of natural compounds, which have anti-inflammatory (抗炎的) benefits.
___48___ Blue and purple foods, including blueberries, have a high content of the plant anthocyanin (花青素), which has been linked to lowering the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Flavones (黄酮类化合物), which give foods a yellow colour, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
A research fellow at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health says eating a colourful diet can also help people avoid possible side effects of eating too much of one food. “___49___ For example, research has found that orange juice is associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline, but too much intake is associated with type 2 diabetes,” she says. Although, this is because of its sugar content, not flavonoids (黄酮类).
Eating a rainbow diet may also be complex. ___50___ We could get into trouble. We also need to eat from other food groups to get all the nutrients we need, such as protein.
A．Food is very complex.
B．A varied diet is packed with different vegetables.
C．Different coloured foods come with different benefits.
D．But how do we know we’re getting enough nutrients?
E．It could be really difficult to get every colour every day.
F．However, is colour the best guide to getting all the nutrients?
G．And one way to do this is by eating all the colours of the rainbow.

____52____. That means they are also behaviors that you start over and over again.

____53____

Often, this little start will be enough to get your motivation flowing and help you finish the task.
Focus on the habit first and the results later.
____55____. Most people start with some type of goal. “I want to lose 20 pounds in the next 4 months.” Or, “I want to squat (蹲举) 50 pounds more six months from now.”This is the wrong approach.

Even virtual reality helps.
Go often. A little bit makes a big difference. ___59___ But an environmental psychologist found that spending a similar amount of time near water has the same benefits. Even people who look into aquariums(水族箱) have lower heart rates and better moods after just 15 minutes.
Listen. One of the most calming characteristics of water is its sound, typically steady and soft.

____64____ Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but all who come in contact with it. As time allows, add more people to this circle. This may sound a little strange, but studies have shown this simple exercise really strengthens your sense of compassion.
Even short-term exercises like this broaden your attention, your thinking and your overall sense of well-being in a way that lasts. ____65____ Compassion helps your brain become more flexible, and lets your brain have a wider sense of what’s going on, and it gives you access to more ideas on how to act.

A．Want to relate better to other people?
B．That’s in part because it changes your brain.
C．Compassion training is helpful to reduce stress.
D．In that quiet space, sit in a comfortable position.

E．Then, consider combining them to create a unique name.

Everyone knows that the choices we make affect our future. Suppose I am an intelligent student with good marks. However, being lazy, I do badly in my examinations. I am refused entry to university and cannot find a good job. The golden future will never be.____71____
However, your choices affect your future in a way that is more complicated.____72____ Your character is displayed through your choices, but it is also formed by them. Whenever you make a choice, your character changes or grows, depending on whether the decision you made is wise or foolish. ____73____ And so, you become the sort of person who will make a certain kind of choice in a certain situation.

With so much that we cannot choose, how can we be said to be responsible for anything?
However, we do have some power of choice, and we do control the most important thing of all: how we respond to circumstances.____75____ It is our key to having confidence in the future. It is human nature to fear the future, as the future is unknown. You cannot entirely control what will happen to you tomorrow. But if you have confidence in your character, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of.
A．Some will argue this is not true.
B．All these are from a bad choice!
C．Too many choices can be confusing.
D．This ability to choose how we behave is a great gift.
E．We can choose to keep struggling in hard times, or to give up.
F．Your character is being made by you, bit by bit, choice by choice.
G．This is because nearly all the choices you make affect your character.

____97____
These three words are taught in the elementary classes to little ones. Truly the three magic words should be included in our daily life more often.

If you miss one of the old friends you’ve lost touch with and think about reaching out to them, you may worry about whether it’ll be just like old times, or uncomfortable and awkward. Here are some ways to help you avoid any awkwardness while reconnecting with an old friend.
Reach out through social media. Connect with them through social media, text message or other means if you’re too nervous to make a phone call or to begin a meet up. Follow up on one of their most recent posts. ____101____
Show some love. If you’re really happy to connect with your old friend, make it a point to communicate that to them. ____102____ Sincere warmth can help lessen some of the awkwardness that may build up in a relationship.
____103____ Start conversation by bringing up a fun time you shared. It will transport you both back to that moment when you were close and help smooth over the “What are you up to now?” conversations that sound too rigid (死板).
Display your interest. As you chat with your friend, try to pay attention and ask follow-up questions. ____104____ Empathizing (共鸣) with them can help you connect with them and get to know who they are today.
Move past conflicts. Don’t talk a lot about your conflicts or the reasons why your friendship became less close. If it happens to come up naturally down the line, then feel free to address any possible hurt feelings. ____105____ In the beginning, just focus on what you had in common and the good times you shared together.

Don’t buy too much food whenever you go grocery shopping.____107____ However, if your family cannot eat all the food before it goes bad, then it just adds to food waste. Taking several short grocery shopping trips every week instead of one long trip may help keep you from buying too much food, thereby cutting back on food waste.
Always make a shopping list.____108____ That’s because you already know what things you need. Moreover, a list will prevent you from buying food items that you already have at home, which can help reduce the amount of potential food waste.
____109____ For meats, you have to keep them in the freezer while fruits and vegetables should be stored in the crisper compartment (保鲜室). Although these tips may seem simple, they can help greatly reduce the amount of food waste that your family produces.
Use the “First-In-First-Out” method. For example, placing the newly bought foods at the back of the fridge or cupboard will encourage people to use the ones that are in the front row. This will ensure that you know what you have and reduce food waste. ____110____

B．Having a fully filled fridge may look nice.

Making Weight Loss Last
___114___. This can be attained through improvements in sadness tolerance, mindfulness and self-sympathy. For example, if someone experiences improvements in mindfulness, they may be less likely to ‘mindlessly’ eat in response to emotions such as boredom, stress, anger and other external stimulation like the presence of tasty foods.

The first day I arrived in Bucharest I had to take the bus from the train station to my accommodation. I boarded the bus and found out that none of my cards worked and I wasn’t able to buy a ticket. _____117_____ Although I explained that it wasn’t my intention and I had just arrived from Brasov, they still didn’t believe me and fined me for not having a ticket.
After doing some research online, I found that most buses in Bucharest do not accept cash or any form of payment onboard. You have to purchase a card at certain places in the city, top it up with money, and then pay onboard. _____118_____ You can use wireless pay to purchase a ticket. I was delighted after finding out such good news as I did not want another fine.
_____119_____ After I got on the bus, I found the ticket machine to be the same as the one I had met with on my first day in Bucharest. I tried in vain every method, including wireless pay, Apple Pay and cash. _____120_____ At that moment, a kind middle-aged man standing next to me handed me a card.

You probably already know what self-regulation is, even if you are not aware of the term. ___121___
Self-regulation refers to the ability to control your behavior and manage your thoughts and emotions in appropriate ways. It involves being aware of your behavior and how it helps you reach your goals. ___122___ The Cambridge dictionary defines it as “The ability to make yourself do things you know you should do even when you do not want to”. The American Psychological Association defines it as “the control of one’s behavior through self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-reinforcement.”
Self-regulation is very important because it can help us deal with stress. We all know that sometimes stress is bad for our health, which can cause mood swings and difficulty concentrating. ___123___ For example, if a person is upset, sad, or angry, self-regulation helps him regulate his feelings and then behave in an acceptable and productive way.
In addition, self-regulation can also help people handle conflict and strengthen relationships and overall well-being. It can help people calm down after something annoying has happened and refocus their attention on other tasks. ___124___ People with good self-regulation skills are able to assess whether their behavior is appropriate and can redirect themselves as needed.
___125___ So we can try different approaches to find the proper one. You may be able to keep stress under control by using stress management techniques such as deep breathing, exercise, and getting enough sleep.
Self-regulation is an essential skill for physical, social, emotional and mental well-being. It does not always come easily to people, but there are techniques that can help you develop and strengthen your self-regulation.
A．There are different definitions of self-regulation.
B．Take time each day to make new plans for tomorrow.
C．In fact, like many coping skills, self-regulation can be improved.
D．It takes firm determination and a strong mind to develop a new habit.
E．Then try to behave properly and adjust to getting along with other people.
F．It is essential to learn more about self-regulation and understand how to strengthen it.
G．But self-regulation can help people handle emotions like frustration or disappointment.

At a Loss for Words
Imagine a friend is heading out to face a difficult task. As a last word before they disappear, you want to encourage them. What might you say? If you are speaking English, the likeliest choice is “good luck”.
If you stop to think about it, that is a little odd. Though you might indeed hope luck smiles on your friend, neither they nor you can do much about the probability. ____126____ That is why the French, in this situation, say “bon courage”, not “good luck”.
English does not allow you to pair any old adjective with any old noun in a fixed expression. You may wish someone “good morning”, “good afternoon” or “good night”, but not “good weekend”. ____127____ However, in other languages it is perfectly usual.
____128____ English-speakers wish each other a happy birthday, but speakers of many other languages say “congratulations” as if the birthday girl had done something impressive merely by surviving another year. The Dutch also say “gefeliciteerd” to members of the family, including the one who really deserves congratulating: the mother. This is close to obligatory, while it would come as a strange surprise in English.
It is natural to be critical of languages that lack expressions you consider essential. For instance, the Scandinavian languages lack a word for “please”, one of the first taught in other tongues because it softens what otherwise might be a rude-sounding request from a novice speaker. ____129____ They express this from “May I ask for?” in public to tacking on “so you are sweet” in a request to a friend or family member.
It is attractive to draw deep cultural conclusions from the presence of this or the absence of that in a language. ____130____ For example, the English do say the typical French words bon voyage and bon appétit, and there’s no reason to stop there. Congratulate your mother-in-law on your wife’s birthday, and you can prepare for a delighted smile back. It may seem awkward or tricky at first but you can make it stick if you try. Bon courage!
A．Special occasions are another way in which languages differ.
B．It is natural to be critical of languages that lack expressions you think necessary.
C．What you really want to wish them is courage not fortune.
D．Having no English equivalent is annoying for those who are used to it.
E．You can say that phrase if you like, but your neighbour would look at you strangely.
F．But not having a word for something doesn’t mean you can’t coin one — or borrow it.
G．But they are not rude: they achieve the same end through other, longer formulations.

A recent study found that only eight percent of people actually end up achieving their new year’s resolution. Here’s a couple of tips and tricks on how to do just that.
____131____.
No one has ever said “oh, I’m going to be healthier this year” and the next day woke up healthy. There has to be a plan, goals, and action that need to be taken. So you can say something like “I’m going to go to the gym every other day this year.”
Choose resolutions wisely.
____132____. The majority of resolutions involve some sort of habit change, and habit changes have a huge consumption on your body’s willpower. Willpower is like a battery that needs to be charged every night. When you have too many resolutions, the burden on this battery causes it to run out before you have a chance to charge it.
Write your resolutions down.
This makes the resolution feel like a contract. ____133____. You can write down every resolution for the entire year. Every time you look at it, you will feel a tremendous amount of pressure to make sure that you continue to keep your resolution.
Don’t tell anyone about your new year’s resolution.
Usually, when you talk about something that you haven’t accomplished, you will trick their brains into visualizing a situation where you have accomplished it.____134____
Find yourself an accountability buddy.
An accountability buddy is somebody who makes sure that you’re going out there every single day, and doing the things that you promised yourself that you would do. ____135____. At the same time, you help them keep themselves in lines too!
A．Have a plan
B．Keep healthy
C．Don’t choose too many resolutions
D．It creates pressure for you to complete it
E．It’s interesting how physical a contract can feel
F．It’s somebody who helps you keep yourself in line
G．This causes you to lose tons of motivation that you had beforehand

From writing Shakespeare-style poetry to making music, ChatGPT has amazed the world since its launch in late 2022 by the US-based company Open AI. The AI program can answer questions on a whole host of topics, and write essays, stories and any other written texts you can think of. It does this by drawing on information collected from a large corpus (语料库) of text data.
___136___ As Sam Altman, the CEO of Open AI, said in an interview with Forbes, “it’s not actually fundamentally new technology that made this (ChatGPT) have a moment.”
One breakthrough behind today’s model is a network called Transformer, which was invented by Google researchers in 2017. ___137___ Transformer can therefore understand the meaning of texts more accurately with the help of the context.
The GPT models built by Open AI combined Transformer with unguided learning. ___138___ ChatGPT can now generate human-like responses instantly due to the large scale of texts it learned from.
“One of the biggest problems with ChatGPT is that it comes back, very confidently, with mistakes,” Michael Wooldridge at the Alan Turing Institute in London, UK, told The Guardian, “because it learns information from various resources. ___139___ So, at this point, ChatGPT doesn’t know the truth about the world, yet.”
Some argue that ChatGPT will be used to generate fake news, spread misunderstanding, or be used for ill purposes. As for education, many US schools recently banned students from using ChatGPT on school networks since students began to use it as a shortcut for essays and research projects. ___140___
A．Why is ChatGPT so questionable?
B．What makes ChatGPT so impressive?
C．However, deciding what is true or false is another story.
D．Long story short, it takes time to make proper use of this powerful AI.
E．That is to say, the models can learn by themselves without being guided.
F．It can infer word meanings by tracking where the word appears in a sentence.
G．It can refer to limitless online dictionaries to identify the meaning of the word.

As we walked along the street recently, my friend suddenly sighed, “How I miss the ice-cream my grandma used to buy me after school!”____141____, which cost her 9.8 yuan, almost 10 limes higher than the “grandma ice cream”.
But it was just one of the fair-priced treats.____142____ It was written by a user who claimed he “randomly picked a plain-looking ice-cream” in a store, and was shocked when the register showed it was 68 yuan. He bought it anyway, but said that every bite tasted more bitter than sweet. “Never pick any brand of ice-cream you’re not familiar with,” the Weibo user wrote.
I miss the good old days too, but on second thoughts, I don’t believe that some expensive ice-cream means the market is “corrupted”. ____143____. Consumption upgrades may boost demand and expensive ice-cream exists because some consumers like it.
Zhao Xuekuan, a senior ice-cream dealer agrees with me. His shop has probably the widest variety of ice-creams m the market.____144____, but young customers favor fancier ones. They are quite particular about the ingredients, expecting they provide not only good tastes, but also high protein and low calories.
____145____. It’s a good thing that recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a new rule that goods must be sold with a clearly marked price tag, or the retailer will be fined up to 100, 000 yuan. Let the fair play carry on and consumers will make their own choices.
A．They don’t choose cheaper ones
B．The other day I read a post on Weibo
C．While walking, she was licking on one
D．The development of a market has its own rules
E．For the past few months, many cities went through lockdown
F．Of course, market supervisors should still monitor ice-cream pricing closely
G．He said that the bestsellers in his shop are always classic types that cost less than 5 yuan each

Do you have a lot of pre-loved jeans (牛仔裤) that you can never seem to let go of? If your jeans really do not fit you anymore or have fallen out of style, you can always make changes to them! ____146____Check them out!
New Shorts
If you are tired of your old jeans, all you need is a pair of scissors to get some new cute shorts for the summer. _____147_____Then, get a pencil to mark where you will cut them off. After that, carefully cut each leg straight.
Reusable Bags
_____148_____ Just cut squares with the same sizes using an old pair of jeans. Then, sew (缝) them up according to your preferred bag size. You can also mix and match the squares from different sets of jeans.
Stylish Accessories (配饰)
Denim (牛仔布) accessories will never go out of style._____149_____Just cut some pieces of the old jeans and twist (搓) them together. Then, shape it by sewing or using a glue gun. For kids, you can also make friendship bracelets for fun.
Denim Organizers
Old jeans can be turned into organizers for your things. For example, you can cut out the pocket of your jeans and glue them onto a hard surface._____150_____.

71．B 72．G 73．F 74．A 75．E

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了选择的影响以及影响选择的因素。
71．根据上文“Everyone knows that the choices we make affect our future. Suppose I am an intelligent student with good marks. However, being lazy, I do badly in my examinations. I am refused entry to university and cannot find a good job. The golden future will never be.(每个人都知道我们所做的选择会影响我们的未来。假设我是一个聪明的学生，成绩好。然而，由于懒惰，我在考试中表现很差。我被大学拒之门外，也找不到好工作。美好未来永远不会有)”以及下文陈述对选择对我们的影响推知，空处应引出话题。故B选项“所有这都来自一个坏的选择”符合语境，these指代上文提到的“I do badly in my examinations. I am refused entry to university and cannot find a good job. The golden future will never be”，“a bad choice”指上文的“being lazy”。故选B。
72．根据上文“However, your choices affect your future in a way that is more complicated.(然而，你的选择以一种更复杂的方式影响着你的未来)”以及后文“Your character is displayed through your choices, but it is also formed by them.(你的性格是通过你的选择展现出来的，但它也是由你的选择形成的)”可知，后文提到了性格会影响选项，本句解释上文“更复杂的方式”指的是性格。故G选项“这是因为你所做的几乎所有选择都会影响你的性格”符合语境，故选G。
73．根据上文“Whenever you make a choice, your character changes or grows, depending on whether the decision you made is wise or foolish.(每当你做出选择时，你的性格就会改变或成长，这取决于你做出的决定是明智的还是愚蠢的)”以及后文“And so, you become the sort of person who will make a certain kind of choice in a certain situation.(因此，你成为了那种在特定情况下会做出特定选择的人)”可知，性格是由选择塑造的。故F选项“你的性格是由你一点一点、一个又一个选择塑造出来的”符合语境，故选F。
74．根据后文“After all, the field of human choice is a narrow one. Most of the things that form us in our lives are not subject to choice. We cannot choose when and where to be born, whether our families will be rich or poor, kind or cruel. We cannot even entirely control who we will meet in our lives. With so much that we cannot choose, how can we be said to be responsible for anything?(毕竟，人类选择的领域是狭窄的。在我们的生活中，构成我们的大多数事情都是无法选择的。我们无法选择出生的时间和地点，无法选择家庭的富裕还是贫穷，无法选择善良还是残酷。我们甚至不能完全控制我们在生活中会遇到谁。有这么多我们无法选择的东西，我们怎么能说对任何事情负责呢？)”可知，事实上人们的选择很小，因此不可能对任何事情负责。由此推知，空处句子指出，有人反对“性格是由选择塑造出来”这个观点。故A选项“有些人会认为这不是真的”符合语境，this指上段提到的“性格是由选择塑造的”。故选A。
75．根据上文“However, we do have some power of choice, and we do control the most important thing of all: how we respond to circumstances.(然而，我们确实有一些选择的权力，我们确实控制着最重要的事情：我们如何应对环境)”以及后文“It is our key to having confidence in the future. It is human nature to fear the future, as the future is unknown. You cannot entirely control what will happen to you tomorrow. But if you have confidence in your character, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of.(这是我们对未来充满信心的关键。害怕未来是人类的天性，因为未来是未知的。你不能完全控制明天会发生什么。但如果你对自己的性格有信心，那么你对未来有一件事是肯定的：无论发生什么，你都会做出一个令你自豪的选择)”可知，本句主要说明我们可以选择的事情：在困难时期，我们可以选择继续奋斗，也可以选择放弃。故E选项“在困难时期，我们可以选择继续奋斗，也可以选择放弃”符合语境，故选E。

79．根据上文内容“Whatever you do, don’t interrupt. Instead, wait patiently for your turn to talk. Interrupting is one of the quickest ways to shut down a conversation and make other people uncomfortable.

Just because you ask for advice doesn’t mean you have to follow it.(征求意见表明你重视别人的意见。仅仅因为你寻求建议并不意味着你必须遵循它)”以及空后内容“Ask your co-worker if she likes your new jacket or ask a friend how you should handle a situation. Asking for advice can make others feel important.(问问你的同事是否喜欢你的新夹克，或者问问你的朋友你应该如何处理这种情况。征求意见会让别人觉得自己很重要)”可知，在本段中，作者建议我们多问问别人建议，因为那会让别人感到自己很重要。选项B“You can ask for advice on both simple and serious things in life.(你可以在生活中简单和严肃的事情上征求意见)”符合上下午内容，指的都是征求他人的建议。故选B。

119．根据后文“After I got on the bus, I found the ticket machine to be the same as the one I had met with on my first day in Bucharest.（上车后，我发现售票机和我在布加勒斯特第一天遇到的那台一样。）”可知，本段讨论旅程中另外一天的事情，空处需从上面段落的内容过渡到这一天。G项“快进到我的最后一天，我计划乘公共汽车去布加勒斯特机场。”符合语境，呼应后文的遭遇。故选G。
120．根据前文“I tried in vain every method, including wireless pay, Apple Pay and cash.（我尝试了各种方法，包括无线支付、Apple Pay和现金，但都徒劳无用。）”可知，作者之前以为去机场的公共汽车上可以无线支付，但是实际上各种支付方式都不行，结合第一天就被罚款的经历可以推测，空处会叙述作者开始紧张慌乱。A项“我开始恐慌起来。”符合语境，承接前文。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了自我调节的定义、作用以及提高自我调节的方法。
121．根据上文“You probably already know what self-regulation is, even if you are not aware of the term.(你可能已经知道什么是自我调节，即使你不知道这个词)”结合后文提到了自我调节的作用，可知空处应该引起下文，即指出要建议了解自我调节。故F选项“有必要更多地了解自我调节并了解如何加强自我调节”符合语境，故选F。
122．上文“Self-regulation refers to the ability to control your behavior and manage your thoughts and emotions in appropriate ways. It involves being aware of your behavior and how it helps you reach your goals.(自我调节是指以适当的方式控制自己的行为和管理自己的思想和情绪的能力。它包括意识到你的行为以及它如何帮助你实现目标)”提到自我调节的定义，后文“The Cambridge dictionary defines it as “The ability to make yourself do things you know you should do even when you do not want to”. The American Psychological Association defines it as “the control of one’s behavior through self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-reinforcement.”(剑桥词典将其定义为“即使你不想做，但你知道自己应该做的事情的能力”。美国心理学会将其定义为“通过自我监控、自我评价和自我强化来控制自己的行为”)”提到了自我调节不同的定义，由此可知，空处引起下文，指出自律有不同的定义，故A选项“自律有不同的定义”符合语境，故选A。
123．根据上文“Self-regulation is very important because it can help us deal with stress. We all know that sometimes stress is bad for our health, which can cause mood swings and difficulty concentrating.(自我调节非常重要，因为它可以帮助我们应对压力。我们都知道有时候压力对我们的健康有害，它会导致情绪波动和注意力不集中)”以及后文“For example, if a person is upset, sad, or angry, self-regulation helps him regulate his feelings and then behave in an acceptable and productive way.(例如，如果一个人心烦意乱、悲伤或生气，自我调节可以帮助他调节自己的感觉，然后以一种可接受的、富有成效的方式行事)”可知，本句与上文构成转折关系，指出自律可以帮助人们处理沮丧或失望等情绪。故G选项“但是自我调节可以帮助人们处理沮丧或失望等情绪”符合语境，故选G。
124．根据上文“In addition, self-regulation can also help people handle conflict and strengthen relationships and overall well-being. It can help people calm down after something annoying has happened and refocus their attention on other tasks.(此外，自我调节还可以帮助人们处理冲突，加强人际关系和整体幸福感。它可以帮助人们在一些恼人的事情发生后冷静下来，并将注意力重新集中到其他任务上)”以及后文“People with good self-regulation skills are able to assess whether their behavior is appropriate and can redirect themselves as needed.(具有良好自我调节能力的人能够评估自己的行为是否合适，并在需要时重新调整自己)”可知，本句承接上文说明自我调节帮助人处理冲突的过程，故E选项“然后试着举止得体，适应与他人相处”符合语境，故选E。
125．根据后文“So we can try different approaches to find the proper one. You may be able to keep stress under control by using stress management techniques such as deep breathing, exercise, and getting enough sleep.(所以我们可以尝试不同的方法来找到合适的方法。你可以通过使用压力管理技巧来控制压力，比如深呼吸、锻炼和充足的睡眠)”可知，本段主要说明了提高自我调节的方法。故C选项“事实上，像许多应对技巧一样，自我调节是可以提高的”符合语境，故选C。
126．C 127．E 128．A 129．G 130．F

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英语和其他语言之间表达上的差异，通过举例生动地说明了一些特定表达的存在或缺席的现象。
126．根据前文“Though you might indeed hope luck smiles on your friend, neither they nor you can do much about the probability.（虽然你可能真的希望好运向你的朋友微笑，但他们和你都无法对这种可能性做太多的事情。）”和后文“That is why the French, in this situation, say “bon courage”, not “good luck”.（这就是为什么法国人在这种情况下会说“bon courage”，而不是“good luck”。）”可知，本段在讨论英文中“good luck”这一表达的不合理，前文在解释其不合理之处，后文转到法语中相应的表达，空处需继续进行解释，起到衔接的作用。C项“你真正希望他们的是勇气而不是运气。”符合语境，后文的“That”即指该项的内容。故选C。
127．根据前文“You may wish someone “good morning”, “good afternoon” or “good night”, but not “good weekend”.（你可能会说“good morning”、“good afternoon”或“good night”，但不会说“good weekend”。）”可知，本段在讨论英语中一些不被允许的表达，前文用“good weekend”这一不常见的表达举例说明，空处应该会继续讨论“good weekend”这一表达。E项“如果你愿意，你可以说这句话，但你的邻居会奇怪地看着你。”符合语境，承接前文，和后文形成语义上的转折，其中的“strangely”和后文的“perfectly usual”形成对比。故选E。
128．空处位于段首，需统领本段内容。根据后文“English-speakers wish each other a happy birthday, but speakers of many other languages say “congratulations” as if the birthday girl had done something impressive merely by surviving another year. The Dutch also say “gefeliciteerd” to members of the family, including the one who really deserves congratulating: the mother. This is close to obligatory, while it would come as a strange surprise in English.（说英语的人互祝对方生日快乐，但说其他许多语言的人只会说“congratulations”，仿佛过生日的女孩仅仅是又活了一年就取得了令人印象深刻的成就。荷兰人还对家庭成员说“gefeliciteerd”，包括真正值得祝贺的人：母亲。这几乎是必须的，但在英语中却是一个奇怪的惊喜。）”可知，本段在讨论生日这一特殊场合中不同语言的表达差异，空处需说明特殊场合和语言差异之间的联系。A项“特殊场合是语言差异的另一个方面。”符合语境，可统领本段内容。故选A。
129．根据前文“For instance, the Scandinavian languages lack a word for “please”, one of the first taught in other tongues because it softens what otherwise might be a rude-sounding request from a novice speaker.（例如，斯堪的纳维亚语中没有“please”这个词，这是其他语言中最早教的词之一，因为它可以软化初学者发出的听起来粗鲁的请求。）”和后文“They express this from “May I ask for?” in public to tacking on “so you are sweet” in a request to a friend or family member.（他们在公众场合用“May I ask for?”，在向朋友或家人的请求中加上“so you are sweet”来表达这一点。）”可知，此处用斯堪的纳维亚语中缺少“请”这一表达举例子，前文说明缺少“please”可能会造成请求比较粗鲁，后文说明斯堪的纳维亚人有其他表达替代，空处应该会和前文形成语义转折，过渡到后文中他们其他的表达。G项“但他们并不粗鲁：他们通过其他的、更长的表达达到了同样的目的。”符合语境，和后文呼应，其中的“But”和前文形成转折。故选G。
130．根据前文“It is attractive to draw deep cultural conclusions from the presence of this or the absence of that in a language.（从一种语言中这个或那个的存在或缺失中得出深刻的文化结论是很有吸引力的。）”和后文“For example, the English do say the typical French words bon voyage and bon appétit, and there’s no reason to stop there.（例如，英国人确实会说典型的法语单词bon voyage和bon appétit，而且没有理由止步于此。）”可知，本段从分析语言差异背后的文化因素转移到语言表达之间的借用，空处会说明语言之间的借用，从而过渡到后文的例子。F项“但没有一个词并不意味着你不能创造一个或借用一个词。”符合语境，和前文形成转折，其中的“not having a word”呼应前文的“absence”。故选F。
131．A 132．C 133．D 134．G 135．F

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了实现新年决心的建议和技巧。
131．设空句是段首小标题，根据上文“No one has ever said ‘oh, I’m going to be healthier this year’ and the next day woke up healthy. There has to be a plan, goals, and action that need to be taken. So you can say something like ‘I’m going to go to the gym every other day this year.’(从来没有人说过：“哦，我今年要更健康”，第二天醒来就健康了。必须有一个计划、目标和需要采取的行动。所以你可以这样说：“今年我打算每隔一天去一次健身房。”)”可知，本段主要讲要制定计划，A项“Have a plan (有一个计划)”是最佳标题。故选A项。
132．小标题“Choose resolutions wisely.(明智地选择新年决心)”提出要选择新年决心，C项“Don’t choose too many resolutions (不要选择太多的决心)”承接上文，说明新年决心不能太多，需要挑选，下文“The majority of resolutions involve some sort of habit change, and habit changes have a huge consumption on your body’s willpower. Willpower is like a battery that needs to be charged every night. When you have too many resolutions, the burden on this battery causes it to run out before you have a chance to charge it.(大多数新年决心都涉及到某种习惯的改变，而习惯的改变会极大地消耗你身体的意志力。意志力就像一块需要每天晚上充电的电池。当你有太多的决心时，电池的负担会导致它在你有机会充电之前就耗尽了)”解释了选择不能太多的原因，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。
133．小标题“Write your resolutions down.(把你的决心写下来)”提出写下自己的决心，上文“This makes the resolution feel like a contract.(这让决议感觉像是一份合同)”和D项“It creates pressure for you to complete it (它会给你压力去完成它)”一起说明了要写下决心的原因：写下决心像签了一份合同，它会给你压力去完成它。上下文语意连贯。故选D项。
134．上文“Usually, when you talk about something that you haven’t accomplished, you will trick their brains into visualizing a situation where you have accomplished it.(通常，当你谈论你还没有完成的事情时，你会欺骗他们的大脑，让他们想象出你已经完成的场景)”提出谈论还没有完成的事情会让大脑受欺骗，想象出已经完成计划的场景，G项“This causes you to lose tons of motivation that you had beforehand (这会让你失去很多之前拥有的动力)”承接上文，说明这件事情的后果：失去动力，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
135．上文“An accountability buddy is somebody who makes sure that you’re going out there every single day, and doing the things that you promised yourself that you would do.(负责任的伙伴是一个能确保你每天都去那里，做你答应自己要做的事情的人)”提出“负责任的伙伴”这一角色，F项“It’s somebody who helps you keep yourself in line (他是一个能帮你守规矩的人)”承接上文，继续介绍“负责任的伙伴”的作用，说明要找一个“负责任的伙伴”的原因。故选F项。
136．B 137．F 138．E 139．C 140．D

【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了由美国Open AI公司推出的ChatGPT可以回答一系列的主题问题，并撰写散文、故事和你能想到的任何其他书面文体。
136．根据空后“As Sam Altman, the CEO of Open AI, said in an interview with Forbes, “it’s not actually fundamentally new technology that made this (ChatGPT) have a moment.” (正如Open AI公司的首席执行在一次采访中说道：‘实际上并不是新技术让这项技术（ChatGPT）有了一席之地’。 )”可知，空后提出并不是新的技术让ChatGPT有了一席之地，故此处B项“什么让ChatGPT如此的令人印象深刻呢？”符合语境，本空出提出问题，空后用Sam Altman在采访中的话回答问题，故选B项。
137．根据空后“Transformer can therefore understand the meaning of texts more accurately with the help of the context. (因此，Transformer可以在上下文的帮助下更准确地理解文本的意思。)”可知，空后提出了结果，故F项“通过判断单词出现在句子中的位置来推断单词的意思。”符合，F项说明原因，它可以根据单词在句中的位置来判断其意思，因此能更准确地理解文本的意思，故选F项。
138．根据空前“The GPT models built by Open AI combined Transformer with unguided learning. (Open AI构建的GPT将Transformer与非指导学习相结合。)”可知，E项“也就是说，模型可以在未被指导的情况下自学。”是前文的顺义承接，是对前文的解释说明，Open AI构建的GPT将Transformer与非指导学习相结合，也就是说模型可以在未被指导的情况下自学，故选E项。
139．根据空后“So, at this point, ChatGPT doesn’t know the truth about the world, yet. (因此，在这一点上，ChatGPT还不知道世界的真相。)”可知，空后给出结果，因此它不知道世界的真相，故此处C项“然而，决定什么是真的，什么是假的又是另一回事了。”符合，因为它无法决定什么是真，什么是假，因此它并不知道世界的真相，故选C项。
140．根据空前“As for education, many US schools recently banned students from using ChatGPT on school networks since students began to use it as a shortcut for essays and research projects. (对于教育，很多美国学校最近禁止学生在学校网络上使用ChatGPT，因为学生开始将它作为论文和研究项目的快捷方式。)”可知，空前提出学校禁止学生使用，是因为学生通过它在学习上走捷径，故D项“长话短说，正确使用强大的AI 还需要时间。”符合，因为学生的不正当使用，因此正确使用AI还需要时间，故选D项。

142．上文“But it was just one of the fair-priced treats.(但这只是其中一种价格公道的款待。)”提到了这只是其中一种价格比较公道的款待；下文“It was written by a user who claimed he “randomly picked a plain-looking ice-cream” in a store, and was shocked when the register showed it was 68 yuan.(该帖子是由一名用户撰写的，他声称自己在一家商店“随机挑选了一个看起来很普通的冰淇淋，当收银机显示它的价格为68元时，他感到震惊。”)”提到了一位用户买冰激凌花了68元。由此可推知，此处为一位用户发的帖子。B项“The other day I read a post on Weibo(前几天我在微博上看到了一篇帖子)”与上下文对应。故选B项。
143．上文“I miss the good old days too, but on second thoughts, I don’t believe that some expensive ice-cream means the market is “corrupted”(我也怀念过去的美好时光，但转念一想，我不认为一些昂贵的冰淇淋意味着市场“腐败”了。)”提到了“市场”这一概念；下文“Consumption upgrades may boost demand and expensive ice-cream exists because some consumers like it.(消费升级可能会刺激需求，昂贵的冰淇淋之所以存在，是因为一些消费者喜欢它。)”提到了消费升级可能会刺激需求，这是一种市场发展规律。D项“The development of a market has its own rules(市场的发展有其自身的规律)”与上下文对应。故选D项。
144．上文“Zhao Xuekuan, a senior ice-cream dealer agrees with me. His shop has probably the widest variety of ice-creams m the market.(资深冰淇淋经销商赵学宽同意我的观点。他的店可能是市场上种类最多的冰淇淋店。)”提到了冰激凌经销商赵学宽的店是市场上种类最多的冰激凌店；下文“but young customers favor fancier ones.(但是年轻的顾客更喜欢花哨的。)”转折提出了年轻顾客喜欢花哨的。由此可推知，设空处与下文语义相反相对。G项“He said that the bestsellers in his shop are always classic types that cost less than 5 yuan each(他说，店里卖得最好的总是单价不到5元的经典款式)”与上下文对应。故选G项。
145．设空处位于段首，应与下文大意保持一致；下文“It’s a good thing that recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a new rule that goods must be sold with a clearly marked price tag, or the retailer will be fined up to 100, 000 yuan. Let the fair play carry on and consumers will make their own choices.(最近，国家市场监督管理总局发布了一项新规定，规定商品销售必须明确标价，否则零售商将被处以最高10万元的罚款。这是件好事。让公平竞争继续下去，消费者会做出自己的选择。)”提到了市场监督管理局发布的新规定。F项“Of course, market supervisors should still monitor ice-cream pricing closely(当然，市场监管机构仍应密切关注冰淇淋的定价)”与下文的新规定对应。故选F项。
