In all the time I’ve spent in China, I’ve had my share f emtinal crises. I can’t remember which ne it was in particular, but I d remember hw my adpted “aunt” Li nce tk care f me, tucking (a被角) me up in an armchair in her Chengdu apartment, bringing me a cup f green tea, peeling and cutting fruit fr me, chatting abut unrelated matters as she prepared ne f her wnderful Sichuanese suppers. Like many Chinese peple, particularly thse f the lder generatin, she didn’t shw her lve fr me by hugging r requesting emtinal utpurings, but thrugh fd and ver-cncern.
It tk me a while t becme used t this way f expressing affectin. At first I fund it brusque and bssy: “Have sme prridge! Drink sme sup! Put n sme mre clthes!” But ver time I came t understand what it meant. I can always tell, nw, when smene Chinese is becming fnd f me because they start t becme ver-wrried abut my physical needs, urging me t eat r drink, t wrap up warm, t rest. When serius-faced chef barks at me t have sme mre bazi fr breakfast r Li presses me t have anther muthful f her red-braised prk, I knw they are ffering me the edible equivalent f a hug.
Fd in China can mean many things. It is als art and craft and magic. It is the slices f fish that fall like snw frm the knife f the chef, the slivers f meat that dance in the shimmering heat f the wk (炒菜锅), the grains f millet r rice that swell in the steamer. It is the emplyment f armies f micrrganisms in the clay vat f jiang (酱菜缸) r the wine jar, the creating f a hundred flavrs in a tiny kitchen, the transfrmatin f natural raw materials int numerus frms. It is finding ways t generate delight in everything frm a duck’s tngue t the peel f an range. It is ne f the supreme expressins f human wit and creativity.
Abve all, it is what cnnects us and makes us human.
24. Why des the writer mentin her mental distress at the beginning?
A. T cmpare the difference in tw cultures.
B. T intrduce hw Chinese express their lve.
C. T highlight hw fragile the writer used t be.
D. T remind readers f the writer’s hmesickness.
25. Which f fllwing is clsest in meaning t the underlined wrd “brusque”?
A. Abrupt and simple. B. Implite and bitter.
C. Brave and direct. D. Demanding and abusive.
26. Hw des the writer develp paragraph 3 t further explain her idea?
A. By making cmparisn. B. By ffering mre examples.
C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By classifying cking methds.
27. What message des the authr intend t cnvey thrugh the text?
A. Every regin has its wn specialty. B. Fd is culture, and culture is fd.
C. When in Rme, d as the Rmans d. D. The prf f the pudding is in the eating.
C
There cmes a pint when a thing becmes t much. It might be at the end f the meal when that final slice f pizza turns yu frm “cmfrtably full” t “ergh,” when the car karake ges frm being huge fun t a thrat-aching chre, r when yu are dead drunk with friends wh have invited yu t d shts.
The fact that humans have unstppable thirst and appetites is nt new wisdm. It’s fund in Ancient Greece and in mst f the wrld’s philsphies tday. But in the Swedish idea f lagm, it has been given fresh life. Lagm means trying t find mderatin rather than cnstantly grasping fr mre, which stands in sharp cntrast t the American culture.
There are tw separate aspects f lagm. The first is a kind f scial awareness that recgnizes that what we d affects ther peple. If yu take three ckies frm the plate, tw ther peple aren’t ging t get ne. The secnd, hwever, is a mental shift that finds cntentment in satisfactin. Many f us have the idea that bigger means better, that a bank balance means status, and that excess means happiness. Lagm, thugh, is t enjy the “just right”, appreciating that smetimes less really is mre. After all, talking t a friend ver a cffee is nice. But meeting with ten friends after ten cffees des nt make things better.
S, hw are we t apply lagm t ur lives? I’m sure yur childhd is sprinkled with great hliday memries and brilliant getaways, but chances are that yur fndest, deepest memries were thse spent simply at hme. Yu d nt have t pay lts f mney r travel fr hurs t have fun. A cheaply cked meal and sme ld-wrn pajamas are “just enugh” t have fun.
There are ther ways we can apply lagm, frm hw ften we see ur friends t hw much we buy t living sustainably. But the mst prfund element f lagm is simply t rest and relax when a thing feels gd. Simple pleasures d nt mean simple humans.
28. What can be learned frm paragraph 1?
A. Appetite is hard t restrain. B. Friendship means a lt in ur life.
C. Much time is spent n entertainment. D. Greed inevitably leads t destructin.
29. What des the American culture advcate based n the text?
A. The pursuit f mre wealth. B. The rejectin f bare necessities.
C. The prmtin f equal pprtunities. D. The recgnitin f philsphers’ cntributins.
30. Accrding t the authr, we can apply lugm t ur lives by
A. ding shpping crazily n a bad day B. spending a marvelus hliday abrad
C. having a hmely meal with ur family D. chatting with ten friends after ten cffees
31. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Wisdm f Lagm: Redefining Philsphy.
B. Swedish Lagm: Mderatin and Happiness.
C. Lagm and Scial Awareness: Sharing and Caring.
D. Understanding Lagm: Heritage f Ancient Greece

It’s nt easy being a custmer service agent- particularly when thse custmers are s angry with a prduct that they want t yell at yu dwn the phne. That’s why the Sns, a maker f hme-audi systems, hired Sierra, an Al start-up, t prvide it with a custmer service prgram pwered by generative artificial intelligence (AI).
In recent years, the custmer service industry has becme famed fr driving custmers mad with its use f technlgy. Because it is expensive fr firms t use humans t slve their custmers’ prblems, they make the prcess as inefficient as pssible by frcing yu t press an extremely cnfusing cmbinatin f numbers r chat with a bt that recites prepackaged respnses.
Nw cntrepreneurs are betting that generative AI can make it all less awful. Unlike the frmer, generative-AI bts (程序) d nt ech rutine respnses t narrw questins. Instead, they create their wn respnses infrmed by the firms’ training materials and previus custmer-service interactins.
That raises tw tricky questins. Advcates fr the technlgy say that custmers will n lnger have t wait endlessly and pint ut that prgrams will be fluent in many languages and have easier-t-understand accents than freign call-center agents, Custmers, thugh, are yet t be cnvinced: 64% f thse surveyed by Gartner said they wuld prefer it if cmpanies didn’t use AI fr custmer service, mstly because they wrry it will make it even mre difficult t reach a human. What is mre, generative-AI bts have a tendency t prject cmplete cnfidence in their respnses even when they are wrng, which culd cause chas. Earlier this year Air Canada was frced t repay a custmer wh was incrrectly prmised a discunt by the airline’s AI chatbt.
A secnd questin is what all this means fr the call-centre agents. It is predicted that generative AI wuld lead t a 20%-30% reductin in custmer-service jbs by 2026. Fr nw, Mr Geller says Clearsurce is fcused n using generative AI t help train its human agents. But he adds, “I wuld be putting my head in the sand if I said AI wuldn’t replace peple.
32. Hw des generative Al differ frm traditinal custmer service, accrding t the passage?
A. It is curius and multilingual. B. It is intelligent and interactive.
C. It is plite and cmmunicative. D. It is cst-effective and welcming.
33. Why d mst custmers favr service agents instead f generative AI?
A. They find it challenging t deal with.
B. They still value human-t-human cntact.
C. They believe it will nt fully deliver its prmise
D. They wrry abut falling victim t its efficiency.
34. What can be inferred frm the passage abut generative Al in custmer service?
A. It struggles t bridge the language gap.
B. It becmes the majr cncern fr service agents.
C. It is nly prblematic in highly-regulated industry.
D. It cmpletely remves human agents frm service.
35. What is the writer’s purpse f writing the passage?
A. T present the analysis f capabilities f AL
B. T argue the AI’s replacement f service agents.
C. T explre the impact f AI n custmer service.
D. T prmte the dminance f AI in custmer service.

Stress is big, visible, and bvius. Virtually everyne can recgnize, and have sympathy fr, nrmal stress-it cmes frm universally recgnized challenges r setbacks, and ften there’s a “bad guy” wh is the surce f it. Maybe it is cntinually being called n t help needy friends. 36
37 It’s caused by difficult mments that we register as just anther bump in the rad- if we register them at all. Micrstresses cme at us s quickly, and we’re s cnditined t just wrking thrugh them. 38 And even when we d register micrstress, we dn’t necessarily think abut its impact n ur lives. Fr example, a minr disagreement with a friend r classmate ver smething trivial, like lunch plans r grup wrk.
Micrstresses, as their name implies, are small—may be invisible t spt individually. 39 That’s because the surce f micrstress is seldm a classic antagnist, such as a spectacularly demanding client r a jerk bss. Rather, it cmes frm the peple with whm we are clsest: ur friends, family members, and clleagues. Fr example, we may harbr feelings f guilt r failure that we’ve let dwn smene we care abut. The emtin in the relatinship--psitive r negative- magnifies the impact f the stressr. Of curse, yu’re never cping with just ne r tw micrstresses. Yu’re likely facing dzens a day -and yu’ve prbably cme t accept that this way f living is nthing special. “Just let me survive this ne week,” yu prmise yurself, “then I’ll be OK.” Unfrtunately, except every week becmes yet anther week yu just have t survive. 40
A. By cntrast, micrstress is far less bvius.
B. And the cycle cntinues fr mnths n end.
C. They tend t seem fleeting, r t minr t hurt us.
D. Or it is preparing fr an imprtant yet difficult examinatin.
E. Or yur phne is dying while ut with n charger available.
F. Hwever, they invlve an emtinal baggage that’s nt easy t unpack.
G. Individual stressrs seem manageable in the mment, but they accumulate.

In eighth grade, ur directr and drama teacher Mr. Lmis asked me t lk fr a dg fr a supprting rle Sandy in ur schl’s musical. I tried very hard, but in vain. I knew this dg had t have a winning persnality, but it wuld als have t lk the part and team up well with the leading rle Kayla.
“Ashley, I think I can help yu get a dg,” ffered Jhn, ur assistant directr, when we were all dne fr the afternn. “That’d be great, “I said, pening the stage dr. “I have n idea where t get this puppy.” Jhn flashed a smile at me, “I texted my neighbr, wh runs the lcal shelter. She texted me right back saying she culd help us. Dn’t wrry! Mr. Lmis always says theater is fr everyne.”
Truer wrds were never spken. My giant birthmark that cvered half f my face wuld be t much f a distractin. I had acted in ne musical and lved it, but afterward I verheard a lady telling Mr. Lmis hw kind it had been fr him t cast me. After that, I stpped perfrming and wrked behind the scenes. Hwever, lking fr the perfect Sandy lked like an impssible task.
Desperatin frced me t say yes. Hardly had we arrived when Jhn’s neighbr invited us t the backyard. There we saw the dg. “This is the dg yu want!” she annunced. “He’s bedient and calm.” As she said that, the dg turned arund and kissed her.
“He’s a three-legged dg!” I exclaimed, stating the bvius. “Yes,” the neighbr explained. “Abandned after an accident, he was adpted by my friend, wh saw his fantastic ptential.”
“Thank yu! Take him fr the rehearsal (排练) n Mnday mrning, please.” Jhn said as we left.
All Mnday mrning I was absent-minded in the classrm. Wuld he wrk ut as Sandy? Wuld he chew r bark r d anything bad? Suddenly I heard the familiar vice f Jhn. “Ashley, Mr. Lmis will be waiting fr yu at his ffice during the lunch break.”
