Occasinally, dctrs becme patients t. While I wuldn’t wish ill-health n anyne, it can be an inspiring lessn fr medical prfessinals t suddenly be n the ther side.
This happened t me a few mnths ag when I had a kidney stne, which had decided t make its unwelcme presence knwn in a rather rmantic fashin just as I was ging ut fr dinner. The pain came frm abslutely nwhere but within minutes I was incapacitated. I was quite taken ab ack by hw astnishingly painful it was.
As a dctr, I initially refused t believe that anything was seriusly wrng, because I have witnessed cuntless individuals cme t the emergency rm cnvinced they are dying nly fr nthing mre than trapped wind and then creep (蹑手蹑脚) ut as they burp (打嗝) ludly and the pain disappears. Hwever, the unbearable pain cntinued t exist, frcing me t acknwledge that this was indeed mre than just a stubbrn burp,
I was particularly pleased t read afterwards in a medical textbk that renal clic, as the pain is knwn, is the “mst painful event a persn can endure, ften described as being wrse than childbirth.” It’s n wnder chrnic (慢性的) pain drives peple mad. While dctrs talk abut pain and its management, it’s hard t put int wrds hw exhausting it really is until yu’ve experienced it fr yurself.
During my time in hspital, I interacted with numerus dctrs, each exhibiting prfessinalism and kindness but ne stuck ut in my mind. He was actually the mst junir f them all, but smething abut his manner was incredibly calming and cmfrting. Whenever he came t my bed t speak t me, he knelt dwn s he was at my eye level. This simple act rid me f the stress that ther healthcare prfessinals unintentinally prjected. Just kneeling dwn made all the difference.
Experiencing the rle reversal f dctr-turned-patient prvided me with prfund insights int the realities f pain and effective patient care.
24. What des the underlined phrase taken ab ack in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Shcked.B. Impressed.C. Annyed.D. Mved.
25. What did the authr initially think f thse patients in the emergency rm?
A. Pitiful.B. Understandable.C. Embarrassing.D. Ridiculus.
26. What impressed the authr mst during his stay in hspital?
A. The intense pain caused by the kidney stne.B. A small gesture bringing ease and relief.
C. Stress caused by the healthcare wrkers.D. Dctrs with prfessinalism and kindness.
27. What lessn did the authr learn frm this experience?
A. Experience must be bught.B. Actins speak luder than wrds.
C. Put yurself in smene else’s shes.D. Health is nt valued till sickness cmes.

US frests culd becme a “substantial carbn surce” by 2070, suggesting that frests culd wrsen glbal warming instead f easing it, a new Agriculture Department reprt says.
US frests currently absrb 11 percent f US carbn emissins (释放), equal t the cmbined emissins frm 40 cal pwer plants. The reprt predicts that the ability f frests t absrb carbn will start declining after 2025 and that frests culd emit up t 100 millin metric tns f carbn a year as their emissins frm decaying (腐烂) trees g beynd their carbn absrptin.
The predictin suggests that this will require the US t cut emissins mre rapidly t reach net zer, accrding t Lynn Riley, a senir manager f climate science. “Eleven percent f ur dmestic emissins. That is a really significant prtin,” Riley said. “As we wrk t decarbnize... frests are ne f the greatest tls available. If we were t lse that, it means the US will cntribute that much mre” in emissins. The reprt als assesses and predicts the extent f renewable resurces prvided by the natin’s frests and undevelped landscapes, including farmlands, wetlands and grasslands.
Accrding t the reprt, the lss f carbn absrptin is driven in part by natural disasters which are increasing in frequency and strength as glbal temperatures rise. Develpment in frested areas, which the reprt predicts will cntinue t increase, is having the same effect as peple increasingly mve t the s-called wildland urban areas. Aging frests als cntribute as lder, mature trees absrb less carbn than yunger trees f the same species, and the US frests are rapidly aging.
Mre aggressive frest management can help by cutting dwn a small prtin f aging frests t make ways fr yunger trees that absrb mre carbn. A thrugh study f each frest shuld be dne befre remving lder trees, Riley said.
28. Why culd US frests becme a “substantial carbn surce”?
A. They fail t absrb enugh carbn.B. They begin t emit carbn increasingly.
C. They may emit mre carbn than absrb.D. Mature trees utnumber yung trees.
29. Which f the fllwing may Lynn Riley agree with?
A. US frests have lst their rle in carbn absrptin.
B. It is urgent fr the US t reduce carbn emissins.
C. The US has cntributed t 11% carbn emissins.
D. The lss f frests cntributes t less carbn emissins.
30. What leads t the lss f carbn absrptin?
A. Imprper tree species.B. Remval f aging trees.
C. Decreasing urban develpment.D. Frequent severe natural disasters.
31. Which culd be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Aging Frests —a Majr Emitter f Carbn.
B. Grwing Frests —a Slutin t Carbn Emissins.
C. Reducing Frests —a Threat t Glbal Warming.
D. Decaying Frests —a Cnsequence f Glbal Warming.

Artists everywhere are getting “understandably nervus” abut recent advances in artificial intelligence. Last mnth, a winner f an art prize at the Clrad State Fair “sparked a vilent prtest” when he psted the news and explained that he’d created his image using an AI prgram. Critics quickly accused 39-year-ld Lance Allen f cheating. T be fair, Allen had wn in the digital art categry and made n secret f hw the image had been prduced. But the rules f art making are clearly changing.
Allen’s creative prcess, t be clear,“was nt a push-buttn peratin,”said Jasn Blain in Frbes. He claims t have spent 80 hurs n his entry, first n fine-tuning his text prmpts(提示), then by tuching up the final image using Phtshp and similar tls, then arranging t print the image n canvas. He made the finished prduct using AI much as a phtgrapher creates an image using a camera.
But Allen, a tabletp game develper, is awed by AI’s capabilities and urges artists and illustratrs t welcme the technlgy rather than fight it. “Art is dead,” he says. “AI wn. Humans lst.” A mre inspiring lessn t take frm his victry, thugh, is that image generatrs are likely t “expand the appreciatin fr and creatin f art” by pening the field t peple, like him, wh culd never draw anything as detailed as his award-winning image. “If anything, we will have mre artists,” and as the technlgy prgresses, “we might see the emergence f art styles that nne have seen befre.”
Yu can’t blame traditinal artists if they’re unhappy. Image generatrs wrk their magic, after all, by analyzing the aesthetics (美学) f millins f pre-existing images. One f the mst cmplicated image generatrs “makes crystal clear just hw destructive this technlgy will be,” said Lz Elit in New Atlas. Given a specific prmpt, it can prduce an image f just abut anything yu can imagine and even fllw the style f a favrite artist’s wrk. Its arrival marks “an incredible ppularizatin f visual creativity” while aiming “a knife t the heart f anyne wh’s spent decades imprving their artistic techniques hping t make a living frm them.”
32. Why are artists getting nervus abut AI recently?
A. A winner f an art prize used AI.B. Lance Allen cheated in the art cmpetitin.
C. The digital art will sn dminate.D. There will be great changes in art creatin.
33. What des the authr intend t tell us in paragraph 2?
A. It was n easy wrk fr Allen even with Al.B. Allen wrked as a phtgrapher creating an image.
C. AI played a key rle in Allen’s art creatin.D. Althugh with AI, Allen’s creatin cunted a lt.
34. What lessn can we draw frm Allen’s winning?
A. Human has been beaten by AI.B. AI will make art mre ppular.
C. Greater artists and new art styles will appear.D. AI enables amateurs t win art cmpetitins.
35. Why des Lz Elit say the new technlgy will be destructive?
A. It wrks by analyzing images created by human.
B. It can prduce images beynd peple’s imaginatin.
C. It makes artists’ lng-time effrt meaningless.
D. It makes it impssible fr artists t make a living.

D yu ever find yurself saving the gd things in life fr sme distant mment in the future? Maybe yu have a cllectin f fancy plates that nly see the light f day n special ccasins, r perhaps yu’re waiting fr the perfect time t wear that beautiful dress put away in yur clset. 36
In a recent cnversatin with leading psychlgist Dr. Alisn McClymnt, we explred the idea f giving urselves permissin t enjy the gd things nw, rather than waiting fr an uncertain future. 37 S saving pleasure fr the future may be pintless.
But why d we feel the need t save things fr best? 38 It’s typically British t save ur crckery r clthes fr “special” ccasins. This mindset may have riginated frm times when resurces were nt enugh and has been passed dwn thrugh generatins. Hwever, when we feel abundant, we are mre willing t use and appreciate ur favrite things regularly.
Welcming the jy f everyday life can be seen as an act f self-lve. We are suppsed t surrund urselves with things that bring us happiness, even in rdinary mments. 39 It’s als abut finding ways t renew ur wrth, fighting the negative thughts that we dn’t deserve t enjy the gd things in life.
40 Take ut thse fancy plates fr a simple weeknight dinner. Wear that beautiful dress t run errands r pick up yur kids frm schl. Celebrate the small mments and make them extrardinary. Because in the end, life is t shrt t deny urselves jy. Let’s break free frm the mindset f waiting fr the perfect mment. Embrace the jy f everyday life and make every day a celebratin.
A. S, why nt start nw?
B. Well, it’s time t recnsider.
C. By ding s, we can bst ur verall well-being.
D. After all, there will be mre happiness in stre fr us.
E. Actually, cultural and generatinal factrs play a crucial rle.
F. The reasn may be that ur well-being is clsely related t abundance.
G. If we deny urselves small mments f jy, we may never get them again.

The parrt had tw hazy lines in her neck: black and red. Amar knew the hazy lines mark the stage f learning. “When there is a gd teacher, hw can his student be stupid” ,he used t believe. It was abslutely true.
Mett’s cage was yellw with a big dr and a shiny silver rd (杆) running thrugh the centre. Mett’s wrld was fantastic, surrunded by eight-ft white walls with sme plum trees. And a lawn, with a palm tree in the middle, was dtted with multiple-clr rses.
Back hme frm schl every afternn, Amar always slid the dr f the cage up fr Mett t set her free nearby the palm tree. Mett culd set herself free because she learned hw t slide up the dr but she had never tried t d s. It was either lve with Amar r, might be, she had never tasted the taste f a bigger wrld.

She had learned ne mre sentence after meeting with a friend belnging t jungle utside the white walls. She always said that at the end f meal “Da wakht bam teer she”—this shall t be passed, which Amar had never taught her.

Dear trubled,
Frm yur letters I’ve learnt that yur parents care t much abut yur study, which annys yu a lt. Actually, it is very cmmn in every family, but it is nt a big prblem if we apprach it prperly.
Parents intervene in ur study fr varius reasns. Fr ne thing, they attach great imprtance t ur educatin in the hpe that we have a bright future. But smetimes they display s much anxiety, althugh unintentinally, that they really stress us ut. Fr anther, we tend t avid cmmunicatin with ur parents, especially abut ur academic wrk, leaving them mre eager t knw hw we are getting n.
Therefre, it is f great significance t understand ur parents’ anxiety, embrace their helpful guidance with sincerity. Additinally, heart-t-heart cmmunicatin helps a lt. We are suppsed t share with ur parents the challenges we encunter and the prgress we achieve in ur study. Hpefully, what used t be an annyance will turn int a blessing.
