What would you do if you encountered a homeless person on the street? Most people, caught in the rush of daily life, would look away, walk faster, or hold their bags tightly. Some might drop a few coins into a cup, but rarely stop to talk or even make eye contact. Brian Peterson used to be one of them.

One evening, Peterson was completely lost in a book, feeling as if the words were speaking directly to his heart, when the loud and familiar singing from the street outside broke the silence. In the past, he would have closed the window, ignoring it. But tonight, motivated by the book’s message of love and connection, he gathered his courage, went outside and started a conversation. He learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris, a musician from Kentucky who came to California to chase his dream, yet ended up living on the street for a decade.

Inspired by Faris’s story, Peterson, an art school graduate, offered to paint his portrait. This small gesture gave birth to Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization devoted to painting portraits of unhoused individuals. Using vivid colors, Peterson aimed to capture not just their outward appearance, but their unique personalities, emotions, and untold life stories.

As public interest in the portraits grew, Peterson, the founder of the organization, began selling the large, signed paintings for thousands of dollars. Half of the profits were placed into a love account for each subject, enabling them to improve their situations. Some used the funds for food or medical care, while Faris used his to record an album and continue the musical career.

Over eight years, the project expanded. What began with a simple conversation has grown into Faces of Mankind, a nationwide collective of artists. It turns out that true kindness can turn invisible souls into visible hope.

24. What is people’s general attitude toward the homeless?

A. Doubtful.B. Caring.C. Curious.D. Unconcerned.

25. What can be the title of the book mentioned in paragraph 2?

A. LoveDoes: Hope from StreetB. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

C. Life Has Ups and DownsD. The Secret of an Artist: A Must-Have

26. What is the feature of Peterson’s paintings?

A. Capturing people’s inner worlds.B. Reflecting people’s social position.

C. Applying pencil-drawing styles.D. Expressing artists’ personal feelings.

27. How does Faces of Santa Ana help the homeless?

A. It teaches painting skills.B. It records albums for them.

C. It provides funding support.D. It collects money from the public.

C

Do you feel like a completely different person when you’re super tired? Maybe you stared at homework, unable to focus, feeling powerless as tasks seemedoverwhelming. Now don’t blame yourself. This isn’t just in your head—it’s science! Scientists have found that missing sleep will mostly weaken one part of the brain: the prefrontal cortex(前额叶).

The prefrontal cortex lies just behind your forehead. It helps you plan, focus, solve problems, and manage emotions. Unlike older brain areas that handle basic survival, this region is newer and takes years to mature (成熟). That makes it powerful—but also delicate. It depends heavily on rest to stay balanced. Without enough sleep, the prefrontal cortex struggles, and your thinking starts to suffer.

One of the earliest signs of sleep loss is that you have trouble focusing, a direct result of a worn-out prefrontal cortex. Since this key brain area cannot process information efficiently, your mind may wander, you may read lines repeatedly without understanding, and quick everyday tasks drag on for hours. These issues don’t come from laziness—they happen because your brain is running low on energy. Besides just affecting your concentration, sleep loss deeply impacts how you feel. Have you ever gotten angry with a friend over a tiny joke or burst into tears because you dropped a pencil? When the prefrontal cortex grows tired, it fails to control normal emotions. You might think you are handling things well, but in reality, you have lost self-control and are reacting without thinking.

Fortunately, this situation can be easily improved. A few nights of sound sleep can restore focus, calm emotions, and sharpen judgment. If you’re having trouble concentrating or feeling emotionally unstable, ask yourself: Did I get enough rest lately?

28. Which of the following can explain “overwhelming” underlined in paragraph 1?

A. Common.B. Brief.C. Stressful.D. Rewarding.

29. What do we know about the prefrontal cortex from the text?

A. It suffers when working much.B. It controls basic survival functions.

C. It manages advanced thinking skills.D. It matures earlier than other brain areas.

30. What does the author try to talk about in paragraph 3?

A. The function of the prefrontal cortex.

B. The harm of losing emotional control.

C. The methods of improving bad moods.

D. The effects of prefrontal cortex’s overwork.

31. What is the main purpose of the text?

A. To solve sleep problems.B. To analyze teenagers’ emotions.

C. To introduce brain structure.D. To stress the value of sufficient sleep.

D

With AI voice assistants and chatbots becoming increasingly common in daily life, talking to AI in public often feels like broadcasting your private thoughts to strangers, creating a major privacy headache. Fortunately, an Asian start-up Verne Technologies is developing a noise-cancelling mask to keep your AI voice chats private. The upcoming product is called the Wearphone, which promises to lower your voice by 10 to 20 decibels(分贝).

While wearing the mask, you interact with various chatbots, making it work as a voice input device. For phone calls and virtual meetings, the mask also enables you to speak in a crowded office space or café without giving away your private information. Though the product is still in development, it is expected to feature both active noise cancellation and physical soundproofing.

Yet there is one aspect holding it back from wide use. A tester says covering his face with the mask stops him from communicating naturally with people around. The concept trades privacy for awkwardness, as users have to cover their faces all the time. This not only creates a barrier to face-to-face communication but also makes people feel uneasy in public, which may greatly prevent its social acceptance.

Still, Verne Technologies is betting that the AI chatbot era will create a need for at least some users to demand extra privacy. The company says the mask itself is built with style and comfort in mind to encourage adoption. In addition, the mask can be taken apart into pieces, allowing you to clean the inside with UV light, which addresses easy-to-clean concerns for a wearable device.

Finally, the Wearphone serves as a stylish solution to your private AI interactions in public. Yet, since only a model has been shown, and improvements are still in progress, you need to be patient to experience this invention firsthand.

32. What is people’s concern while using voice-based AI?

A. Poor voice quality.B. Privacy risk.

C. Background noise.D. Slow response.

33. What does paragraph 2 tell us about the Wearphone?

A. How it operates.B. Where it can be used.

C. Why it is created.D. What advantages it has.

34. What may influence people to accept the product?

A. Its social discomfort.B. Its inconvenient operation.

C. Its difficulty in cleaning.D. Its interruption to public talks.

35. Where does the product stand at present?

A. Already on sale.B. Still in test stage.

C. Ready for consumers.D. Just a concept idea.

Going Barefoot in Nature

Going barefoot on grass, sand, or soil may seem like a simple childhood habit. Yet today, more adults are rediscovering it as a meaningful way to reconnect with nature.36The idea centers on direct contact between the skin and the natural surface of the Earth.

37In modern life, many of us spend most of our time indoors, surrounded by concrete and screens. As a result, opportunities to experience nature directly have become increasingly rare. Walking barefoot offers a simple way to slow down and become more aware of the world around us.

Whether you are walking along a beach, standing on cool grass, or sitting beneath a tree, direct contact with nature often stimulates your senses.38As your attention shifts away from daily worries and toward the present moment, you may begin to feel calmer and more focused.

Of course, going barefoot should be both regular and safe. So try to avoid stepping on sharp stones or glass.39

More importantly, going barefoot reminds us that humans are part of nature rather than separate from it.40By taking time to experience the natural world directly, we may develop a greater appreciation for the environment around us.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I was fond of drawing from an early age. After winning a regional youth art competition, I was selected to attend an international art camp in China the following month. Together with students from different countries, I explored different forms of art and learned about Chinese culture.

One afternoon, I visited a local museum. At the museum gift shop, I picked up an art book featuring famous Chinese paintings. One painting called Night-Shining White immediately caught my attention. I could feel its power within its burning eyes, bared teeth and kicking hooves. The movement looked so natural and powerful that they seemed ready to jump out of the painting. Later, I learned that the painting was created by Han Gan, a famous Chinese artist from the Tang Dynasty, who was well known for his horse paintings.

Inspired by the masterpiece, I decided to paint a horse for the camp’s final exhibition. I wanted my work to show the same strength and spirit that I had seen in Han Gan’s painting.

However, things did not go as planned. No matter how hard I tried, my horse looked lifeless. The body seemed awkward, and the eyes showed no emotion. One sketch (草图) after another ended up in the trash bin. Feeling frustrated, I stayed in the back of the art room one evening, staring at another unfinished painting. Just then, my instructor, Ms. Li, walked in. She looked carefully at my drawing and smiled.

“Han Gan didn’t become a great painter by simply copying other paintings,” she said. “He spent years observing real horses. If you want to understand his art, you should first understand the animals themselves.” Then she handed me a sketchbook. “Why don’t you visit the city equestrian (马术) club this weekend?”
