In my early forties, I began painting with watercolours. Each brushstroke on paper turned into a personal language, allowing me to express the inexpressible. The feeling of colour being absorbed into the paper was calming, yet it left me longing for something deeper. Over time, I became more interested in oil paints. Although they took longer to dry, they offered me a sense of control. Layers of paints combined smoothly, creating a three-dimensional effect that watercolours couldn’t copy. Oil paints granted me the precious opportunity to take a few steps back, as if I were a curious explorer approaching a hidden landscape.
However, working with oil paints wasn’t easy. Getting the right shine or thickness required patience, and at times, I felt annoyed by my lack of progress. Colours didn’t always behave as expected, and I struggled to achieve the vision in my mind. But the more I persisted, the more I understood oil paints. They balanced softness with depth, giving me the chance to create both delicate and grand images. The process of painting became reflective, a practice of exploring colours, textures (纹理) and emotions — sometimes rough, sometimes peaceful, but always rewarding.
One evening, I noticed a strange shade of blue on my canvas (画布). It seemed out of place, as if it didn’t belong. My heart skipped a beat, and I stared at it, uncertain if it was part of my recent work or a trick of the eye. As I stepped back to examine the canvas, the blue shade slowly began to make sense. It was not an error but an invitation — an unplanned element that added depth to the piece in a way I hadn’t expected. At that moment, I realised that painting, much like life, was not about complete control but about embracing the unexpected.
From then on, I approached my work with a new sense of curiosity. I let colours blend more freely, allowed accidental mistakes to become part of the composition, and accepted that every brushstroke carried its own story. Oil painting not only gave me a medium to express myself but also taught me patience, resilience, and the beauty of discovery.
Looking at my finished work, I no longer saw just layers of paints. I saw moments of struggle, joy, and growth woven into the canvas — a reminder that art, like any, is as much about the process as it is about the final masterpiece.

Researchers from the NeuroMind Institute have developed a new system that uses predator (捕食者) robots to chase (追逐) larval (幼体的) zebrafish in an open water. This innovative approach is helping scientists study how the young fish rapidly learn and adapt in real-world conditions.
Larval zebrafish are a valuable tool for neuroscientists because their transparency enables easy study of the brain and behaviour. However, it’s been difficult for scientists to study learning in these developing vertebrates (脊椎动物) — an important part of understanding how the brain works. Previous research found young zebrafish could learn simple associations. But this type of learning happens slowly and often unreliably, and it was still unclear whether days-old zebrafish can learn fast enough to use their memory in natural situations, like recognizing and avoiding new predators.
The researchers thought that traditional ways of testing learning in larval zebrafish in the lab, where the conditions were far from what the fish would encounter in the wild, might not be effective for uncovering how the fish learn. To model a real-life situation, the researchers used small robotic cylinders (圆柱体), with some programmed to show predator-like characteristics.
The researchers created the dynamics: they first placed a robot that stayed still with a free-swimming zebrafish; after the robot chased the fish for a minute, the fish began avoiding the robot’s area for more than an hour — a big change from the non-avoidant behaviour before the chase experience. When a second robot was introduced that did not chase the fish, the zebrafish only avoided the chasing robot, showing that they could distinguish between a threat and a non-threat.
Using this system, the researchers made an unexpected discovery that not only could larval zebrafish learn extremely quickly in a more natural context, but they could also do so just five days after beginning their lives as single cells. This was particularly surprising given the fact that a developing zebrafish larva contains just one percent or so of the neurons (神经元) in its adult form. The findings suggest that some essential learning abilities, like recognizing predators, emerge early in life and are critical for survival.
Further brain imaging reveals that different regions of the zebrafish brain are involved in this rapid learning: the hindbrain, a region controlling essential functions, responds to the approaching predator; the forebrain, a region associated with learning and planning, encodes the presence of the predator robot; and the habenula, another brain area, signals avoidance outcomes. All these regions are necessary for learning, and silencing any of them removes the ability of the fish to learn. It is believed that the new work could offer insights into how other brains process real-world threats.
27. Why did the researchers develop a new system with larval zebrafish
A. To observe their hunting behaviours. B. To identify their simple associations.
C. To examine their brain characteristics. D. To uncover their learning in natural settings.
28. What does the underlined word “dynamics” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Interaction. B. Function. C. Structure. D. Standard.
29. What can we learn about larval zebrafish
A. They can distinguish between robots and fish.
B. They learn fast through a multi-regional brain network.
C. They develop learning abilities when reaching adulthood.
D. They can recognise predators with much neurons needed.
30. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows
A. Explaining the robot design used in the experiment.
B. Exploring danger processing in other species’ brains.
C. Analysing the connection between learning and planning.
D. Describing zebrafish behaviours in different surroundings.

The moon stands alone. Unique in the universe, it is a lifeless and sunbaked wasteland that harbours little except what we bring to it. But that is about to change.
Half a century after the Apollo programme, a private spacecraft Nova-C made the first touchdown on the moon successfully, bearing scientific instruments, microfiche (微缩胶片) story disks, cameras, and sculptures to stay on the moon forever. Its success would promise many more. Though it may seem like an exciting outlook for humanity’s space exploration ambitions, it also signals a future where the moon becomes a hotbed of ungoverned business operations that will irreversibly (不可逆地) transform it.
For the first time, private capital has reached the moon, expanding beyond scientific goals. This allows private landers, even when carrying government science experiments, to include additional non-scientific payloads (有酬负载) for other customers. Items bound to raise various objections, such as human cremains (骨灰) and dehydrated water bears from past missions, have caused concerns about biological materials on the moon. There’re a lot more planned for future launches, likely sparking further debate.
Before this decade is out, with a powerful enough telescope, you may be able to see evidence of human construction or even habitation on the moon. In 2023, the global space industry was valued at $469 billion, expected to exceed $1 trillion by 2030, driven by growing satellite use in manufacturing, power, and data. “We are now at a tipping point, where ideas previously limited to science fiction represent attractive investment projects,” a report read.
A voluntary agreement has been used since 2020 to foster lunar cooperation. It promotes international standards, emergency assistance and data sharing. However, it also allows for exploiting (开采) lunar resources like dust, water, rare earth elements and other materials.
Exploring the moon has value for science and potential benefits for Earth, but humans often turn exploration into exploitation, and the moon may face the same fate. The moon won’t be alone for long. But it is and will forever be quiet. It plays host to no thunderstorms, no crashing waves, no bird songs and no anthems (国歌). We must be its voice. We will soon change its surface, and our relationship to it, forever. At the very least, we owe the moon a considered discussion of why and how we will do so.
31. What is the author’s concern about the moon’s future
A. Unregulated commercial activities. B. Illegal human construction.
C. Limited payload carried to the moon. D. A lack of scientific missions.
32. The “tipping point” in Paragraph 4 indicates the change .
A from cooperation to competition B. from science to trade
C. from lunar landing to settlement D. from fantasy to adventure
33. What can we infer from this passage
A. Lunar resource exploration holds great promise.
B. Massive investment is beneficial to lunar development.
C. Non-scientific activities can test lunar environmental limits.
D. The existing agreement is insufficient in controlling over-exploitation.
34. What would be the best title for this passage
A. The Promising Moon: Playground for All
B. The Moon’s Edge: Ambition Meets Reality
C. The Moon’s Future: Uncover the Unknown
D. The Silent Moon: Humanity’s Responsibility

The Brain Perceives Unexpected Pain More Strongly
Pain perception (感知) can vary significantly between individuals and even within the same person across different situations. In some cases, an injury or physical illness may lead to stronger pain than expected, while similar injuries at other times may result in much milder pain. This difference suggests that pain perception is not entirely determined by the physical injury itself. ____35____
____36____ One is the Estimate Hypothesis (假说), which suggests that the brain estimates the intensity of pain based on predictions it makes about the injury. The other is the Surprise Hypothesis, which argues that the brain feels pain as the difference between what it expects and what actually occurred. This difference, also known as the prediction gap, plays a key role in shaping how pain is experienced. ____37____ Healthy participants were subjected to painful hot-based stimuli (刺激), while observing visual signals in a virtual reality setting. These signals were either associated with painful or non-painful experiences. Participants were then asked to report their pain intensity.
The researchers discovered that pain perception becomes more intense as the prediction gap widens. This phenomenon occurs when the actual pain is much stronger than the brain’s expectations. Their findings suggest that the brain strengthens pain perception when there is a substantial difference between anticipated and actual pain levels. ____38____ It provides a more accurate framework for understanding how the brain processes pain. The study also revealed that unexpected events tend to increase pain, supporting the idea that the difference between expectation and reality causes pain to feel worse.
Individuals with persistent pain often experience uncertain fears and anxieties about their condition. This mismatch between their expectations and the actual experience of pain can further strengthen how strongly they perceive the pain. ____39____ Gaining deeper insights into how the brain processes pain could also contribute to the development of more effective treatments, ultimately improving recovery from persistent pain.
A. This evidence supports the Surprise Hypothesis.
B. It is also strongly influenced by individual expectations.
C. In this study, how the brain perceives pain was examined.
D. In contrast, the gap will determine the intensity of the pain one feels.
E. To explain this phenomenon, a new study has introduced two main assumptions.
F. The findings highlight the importance of psychological factors in pain management.
G. Narrowing this gap between expectation and reality may play a key role in reducing pain.

A Journey with a Painting Drone
In the messy garage of their home, 16-year-old Emma stared at the pieces of her brother’s old broken drone (无人机). Her physics teacher had given the class a task — turning old technology into something “magical.” While most students built simple things like solar chargers, Emma dreamed of something bigger — a drone that could paint pictures while flying! She drew designs mixing science and art — brushes attached to propellers (螺旋桨) and colours guided by GPS. Her classmates laughed, calling it a “flying junk,” but Emma kept working.
One rainy afternoon, she adjusted the drone’s settings to match music. Every beat released a paint drop. The first try was a mess — bright paints spread everywhere. But Emma noticed a pattern in the chaos. After five tries, the drone danced to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, creating a beautiful abstract painting. Her project won the school’s top prize and even inspired local artists to use her technology for large outdoor artworks.
Emma’s success wasn’t just about imagination. It teaches us three essential keys to unlocking creativity. First, balance is crucial. Creativity grows not in daydreams alone, but when wild ideas meet real-world logic. Emma didn’t just imagine a painting drone; she grounded her vision in maths and physics, calculating how to keep brushes steady mid-flight. Second, bravery grows through small steps. Early on, Emma almost abandoned her idea, fearing others would laugh. But she fought doubt by practising creativity daily. Finally, fun fuels persistence. Emma’s first test spread paints everywhere, but instead of giving up, she found joy in the chaos. Her attempts reminded her that “impossible” ideas can awaken wonder. Creativity isn’t a rare gift for the chosen few; it’s a muscle that strengthens when we laugh at failures and celebrate small wins.
Most importantly, Emma’s journey mirrors a universal truth: creativity, like a child learning to walk, demands patience. Every wobble (蹒跚) and every fall is a track of progress. When we cheer for effort rather than perfection — whether for a child’s first steps or our own messy drafts — we unlock the courage to keep moving forward.
