26、 Teens who choose to spend time alone may know what's best for them, according to new research that suggests solitude(孤独)isn't a red flag for depression.
Most studies have confused solitude with loneliness or shyness, said Margarita Azmitia, lead researcher of the study. “There is a misunderstanding for kids who spend time alone. They're considered lacking in basic social skills, or called 'loners',” she said. “It's beneficial to know when you need to be alone and when you need to be with others. The key factor is choice.”
When teens and young adults choose to spend time alone, solitude can prove an opportunity for self-reflection, creative expression, or spiritual renewal. It can be challenging when solitude is imposed on them-when they choose to avoid social activities because they lack friends, feel awkward, experience social anxiety, or are being punished.
To tell the difference between these motivations, Azmitia developed a survey that asked people to rate their motivations for solitude on a four-point scale, presenting questions like, “I feel energetic when I spend time by myself,” and “I enjoy the quiet,” versus “I feel uncomfortable when I'm with others,” and “I regret things I say or do when I'm with others.”
Those who seek solitude because they feel rejected or want to stay alone are at greater risk of social anxiety, loneliness, and depression, and they tend to have lower levels of identity development, and positive relationships with others. However, those who seek solitude for positive reasons, such as self-reflection or a desire for peace and quiet, face none of these risks.
“These results increase our awareness that being alone can be positive,” said Azmitia. “The question is how to be alone without feeling like we're missing out. For many people, solitude is like exercising a muscle they've never used. You have to develop it, and learn to use time alone to your benefit.”

27、阅读表达
When I was ten years old, on a family vacation to Las Vegas, I felt very uncomfortable. I was immediately taken to the hospital. It turned out that I had a big stroke(中风). It made me no longer able to talk, read, write and understand what anyone was saying to me. The entire right side of my body had no feeling.
I stayed in the hospital for months. There I met my favorite doctor. Her last visit was the most important visit of all. She sent me a box as a gift. Inside was a little toy figure of a soldier. She said, “He’s a fighter. You should be like him, David. As long as you try to be him, you can triumph over your illness at last.” She moved her arms as she was fighting to help me understand.
The next few years’ fighting was really hard. I went to lots of speech and physical treatments. I did learn to walk again, but my right arm remained unable to feel anything. Slowly, I learned to talk again. I started with one syllable(音节)-then more. It allowed me to go to a special school. But I couldn’t even spell my own name. Everything was about language and letters. Talking was hard. So was reading. I was sad. But I was still intelligent. Eventually, I decided to let life move on and do something for other stroke survivors.
To help them, I founded a nonprofit organization. I wrote a book on stroke recovery, which has become a guide for stroke survivors and their family members. To help people like me, I also keep speaking at national conferences and hospitals about how to better recover from the disease. Recently, I was invited to speak at a stroke conference to doctors and patients and tell my story.
Today, I can walk, run, and drive. But I still can’t use my right arm. However, there are so many things I can do. The fight to recover is hard. I’ll never, ever give up.

28、Supporters of education technology have made big promises over the past two decades: that by 2019, half of all secondary school courses would be online; that videos and practice problems can let students learn mathematics at their own speed; or that typical students left alone with internet-connected computers can learn anything without the help of schools or teachers.
Then in 2020, people around the world were forced to turn to online learning as COVID－19 shut down schools. It was education technology’s big moment, but for many students and families, remote learning has been a disappointment. When the world needs it most, why has education technology seemed so unsatisfactory?
Educational software has a long history, but there have been two major challenges. The first is that most people depend on human connection to maintain their motivation(动力). When a student closes his computer while having a class, nobody can see it and respond accordingly.
The second challenge is that assessments are especially tough. We can ask students to work out how far a tectonic plate (地壳板块) might move and computers can immediately tell whether the answer is right. But if we ask them to write a paragraph that explains how the tectonic plate works, computers can’t identify correct, partially correct and incorrect responses.
Education technology has long promised to transform (彻底改变) education, but at best, the field has developed individual tools for the curriculum(课程). For school learning, we don’t have online tools or resources that are any better than a printed textbook.
Every technological solution is also a human capital problem: learning with technologies requires giving teachers and students time to play with and get used to new tools and routines. For most teachers, the road to more effective teaching with technology looks less like a transformation, and more like tinkering: a slow and steady process towards finding the right tool or approach for particular students.
【1】What's the purpose of paragraph 1?
A．To show off the fruitful past.
B．To lead in the unsatisfactory reality.
C．To prove the efficiency of online learning.
D．To explore the potential of educational software.
【2】According to the text, education technology fails to________.
A．give students immediate responses
B．provide students with correct answers
C．remind students to keep focused in class
D．equip students with communication skills
【3】The author’s attitude towards education technology can be described as________.
A．doubtful
B．confused
C．supportive
D．hopeful
【4】What should teachers do according to the last paragraph?
A．Seek new technological tools for education.
B．Guard against the popularity of online education.
C．Use education technology based on students’ needs.
D．Make thorough changes to their technology teaching.
29、Putting Pen to Paper: The History of Ballpoint Pens
Ballpoint pens may not seem like anything special, but they’ve made our lives more convenient than you might realize. The story behind their invention may also surprise you.
László Bíró, a Hungarian journalist, is said to have invented the ballpoint pen in 1938. Before the ballpoint pen, people used fountain pens. These old-fashioned pens had to be refilled often, and they leaked and easily made paper dirty. 【1】
Many inventors had tried to design similar types of pens before Bíró, but none had succeeded. Bíró’s ballpoint pen design used a small ball instead of a nib（钢笔尖）. When the ball is pressed onto paper, it rolls to pick up ink inside the pen and transfer it onto paper. The inspiration for this design came from an unexpected source. One day, Bíró happened to see children playing with marbles（弹珠游戏）. A boy rolled a marble through a puddle, creating a line of water on the street and giving Bíró the idea for the ballpoint design. 【2】. He developed a thick, fast-drying ink for Bíró’s pen.
Bíró began selling his pen in Argentina, where he and his brother had fled to during World War Ⅱ. His biggest customer was UK’s Royal Air Force, which ordered 30,000 pens to allow its crews to write more easily while in the air. 【3】 Instead, American businessman Milton Reynolds was the man responsible for that. After seeing the pens in Argentina, he changed the design just enough to sell them as his own. Though expensive, the pens were a big hit with American customers in the 1940s.
Eventually, mass production made plastic ballpoint pens more affordable, and soon they were a household necessity. 【4】 Ballpoint pens can be less comfortable to write with because more pressure must be applied when writing with them. In addition, it doesn’t feel natural to join letters together because of the way the ink flows. Some say these factors contributed to the decline of cursive writing（草书）.
【5】 Who would have thought that this amazing invention was inspired by something as simple as children playing with marbles?
A．For this reason, ballpoint pens last for ages.
B．Ballpoint pens have become an essential tool in our everyday lives.
C．These pens are particularly popular because they are easy to write with.
D．Unfortunately, Bíró wasn’t able to spread his invention around the world.
E．Although ballpoint pens were convenient, they changed the way that people write.
F．However, the real breakthrough came when Bíró got help from his brother, who was a scientist.
G．Since Bíró spent much of his day writing, he was all too familiar with these inconveniences.

Harriet continued, “In my heart, you are ________ to get an A. I believe in you and I will always be here for you. Now, go and ________ the life you dream of. You’ll go far in the future as long as you work hard continually and I’ll be there, ________ you on every step of the way.
Those words __________ a seed of hope in Edward’s heart and helped him believe in his worth. This newfound confidence __________ him to change. His grades began to improve, and by the time he finished college, he had __________ a completely different person. Today, Edward stands proudly, not only in physical stature（身高）but also in his remarkable achievements, having become a world-famous dentist.

It vividly shows how words can __________ our attitudes and relationships. __________ the proverb goes, “The tongue has the power of life and death.” This illustrates that what we say can have a significant impact on ourselves and those around us.
