It’s a sunny afternoon near Boeung Keng Kang market in central Phnom Penh and a local barber shop is busy. Chea Sothea, a young hairdresser, puts the finishing touches on a new style for his client. “Today has been a busy day,” said Sothea. The 16-year-old handles the steady flow of clients with confidence even though he’s only been on the job for six months.

Nol Levin, the owner of the barber shop, smiled when speaking of Sothea. “He has learned some basic relevant skills and he has had a very good command of them, so it has been easy to teach him a wide variety of techniques to achieve whatever a client wants.” He also appreciates the can-do attitude that Sothea has brought to his business.

Sothea is equally happy while working with Mr. Nol. “Mr. Nol is kind and easygoing. I’m inspired by Mr. Nol because he always shares his experience and gives me opportunities to practise my skills. I’m making much progress and I’m trying my best to improve every day.”

Neng Socheata, 18 years old, has also recently started a new job—cooking in an Italian cafe at the heart of Phnom Penh. “When I was offered the job, I was so happy to use the skills and knowledge that I learned from Mith Samlanh. Working here is the starting point of my career and the first steps towards achieving my dreams.”

Lim Chenda, who is Socheata’s supervisor(主管) at the restaurant, admires Socheata’s ability to learn the job quickly and how well she works with the team. She added, “Socheata works hard, is very punctual(守时的), and greets people with respect. I’ve even learned a few things from her.”

Actually, both Sothea and Socheata took part in a technical, vocational and education training (TVET) programme designed to provide young people with the skills they need to be successful in the workforce. Students can choose from 11 training areas: cooking, welding, beauty, sewing, electricity, electronics, car mechanics, motorbike mechanics, men’s hairdressing, laundry and agriculture.

Saying no can be unsettling or unnatural since society often teaches us that a “no” can be considered as rude or insensitive. Many of us have been conditioned to say yes just to avoid confrontation and conflict.

But learning how to say no more frequently can yield many benefits including improving your general mental health, establishing clear boundaries, encouraging self-care and enhancing your self-worth and confidence.

According to Psychology Today, successfully using more healthy answers of “no” will mean finding a way that feels authentic for you. They suggest adopting the “sandwich method”, which means sandwiching something that may be considered negative between two positives. This could be as simple as saying something like “Thank you for inviting me, but I won’t be able to join you. I’d love to meet some other time and I’ll check my schedule and see what works.”

Honesty is key to making this work. You have to really check in with yourself and understand why you are saying no. The most important thing is to be aware of your personal needs and make decisions that reflect your self-respect and value your time and resources.

“Not being able to say no can be hard, and may even push you into a space where you’ re exhausted in every possible way. It’s difficult to be in this position, because you always end up prioritizing others’ needs and wants above yours, which in the long run isn’t healthy for you. It is arduous emotionally, mentally and physically,” psychotherapist Shaina Vasundhara Bhatia told Healthshots.

It might take a long time until this new thought model begins to take root, until then Synergy Health Programs recommends rehearsing(排练) in advance what your “no” will sound like, being honest about why what has been requested does not work for you, taking your time to think through the consequences of your decision and then offering your response.

With time, you will begin to gain the benefits of being true to yourself and you might find that by saying no when something doesn’t feel right, you are actually opening the door to a healthier you.

28. How does the text explain the “sandwich method”?

A. By using an example.  B. By referring to quotes.

C. By making comparisons.  D. By mentioning a magazine.

29. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Beneficial.  B. Struggling.

C. Natural.  D. Unimportant.

30. What can be inferred about saying no?

A. It doesn’t come easy.  B. It doesn’t require tips.

C. It proves very harmful.  D. It is an immediate response.

31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To show the harm of “yes”. B. To encourage us to be honest.

C. To tell the benefits of self-care. D. To guide us to learn to say no.

D

When you’re worried about stumbling(绊脚), you look down at your feet when you walk. Similarly, fish also do so when they swim, a new study finds.

When water moves around them, fish have to find ways to stabilize themselves so they don’t get swept away. If they focus on other fish or other moving objects in the water, they might wrongly believe they are moving. Instead, when they look down and focus on the river bottom, they’re able to more correctly judge their movement and speed.

“There are many misleading motion cues(提示) above them, but the most abundant and reliable signals are from the bottom of the river” says study author Emma Alexander, an assistant professor of computer science at Northwestern University.

Researchers were fascinated by a recently discovered behavior where fish respond more strongly to motion below them than above them. To completely understand that behavior, they turned to zebrafish, which are often used for research and are well-studied. They had a team following the fish in a lab and another in India to analyze the fish in their natural habitat.

In the lab, they tracked fish’s movements inside a tank. Researchers recorded videos in seven sites around India—in shallow rivers where zebrafish are found. They placed a camera inside a waterproof case and attached it to a remotely controlled robotic arm. They put the camera in the water to see what the fish were doing.

Analyzing the videos and data, researchers found that in both the wild and the lab situations, zebrafish looked down when they were swimming forward. They came to the conclusion that the fish looked down in order to understand the motion around them and then they were able to avoid being swept away in the current.

“Understanding that ability not only helps researchers learn more about fish, it may also give them information when designing some robots. The finding of fish’s motion response can help us build artificial vision systems that benefit from the lessons of hundreds of millions of years of evolution behind them.” Alexander says.

32. Why do fish seldom focus on other moving objects above them?

A. To save energy for their moving. B. To stay still in the water all the time.

C. To avoid misleading motion cues. D. To protect themselves from enemies.

33. What did the researchers do for their study?

A. They collected a variety of fish from India.

B. They tracked fish’s movements in the rivers.

C. They created some natural habitats in their lab.

D. They interacted with fish in person in the water.

34. What does Emma Alexander mainly talk about in the last paragraph?

A. The secrets of fish in the water. B. The value of the study finding.

C. The principles of designing robots. D. The meaning of artificial vision systems.

35. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Watch Below to Avoid Stumbling

B. Artificial Vision Systems Are Vital

C. Fish Look Down When They Swim

D. Fish-inspired Robots Will Take Shape

Why Are Family Traditions Important?

Family traditions vary in how they’re celebrated, but they are all of great significance. Let’s explore the importance of family traditions in today’s fast-paced world.

They give a reason for the family to get together.

   36    That being said, sticking to a date is often necessary to coordinate (协调) everyone’s jam-packed schedules.    37    You are much less likely to cancel a time-honored family tradition than a casual lunch. Family traditions give family members something to look forward to and bring them together.

They promote a healthy work-life balance.

Nowadays, remote work has been a way of life for millions of people While telecommuting(远程办公) has its benefits, it can also make it difficult to achieve a work-life balance. Since the workplace is where you spend the majority of your time, you’re likely to separate yourself from the rest of the world.    38  

They create good family dynamics.

Many family members lead vastly different lifestyles.    39    Even if you all have different interests and opinions, you can bond over your shared family experience.

Celebrating family traditions develops relationships between family members. This connection is priceless and fosters(培养) positive family dynamics.

   40  

Family traditions foster a family identity that gives each member a sense of belonging and personal pride. When you feel safe and secure in these family connections, you have a base of emotional support to return to throughout your lifetime. A sense of belonging to family and community is essential for social and emotional well-being.

A. They create a sense of comfort and order.

B. They give family members a sense of belonging.

C. Establish a family tradition that happens on a busy day.

D. You don’t need an excuse to spend time with your family.

E. Creating a family tradition encourages respect and commitment.

F. But family traditions are an opportunity to set aside these differences.

G. But family traditions encourage you to invest time and energy into personal lives as well.
