McGriff was in her second year of university when she read Half the Sky, which examines the unfair treatment of women in developing countries. She was shocked to learn that 129 million girls worldwide do not have access to school.
“In much of the world, women and girls are responsible for household duties,” said McGriff, “It’s seen that girls won’t ever be putting their education to use.” Additionally, many poor families can’t afford girls’ tuition fees, school supplies and uniforms (校服). Yet, studies have shown that providing free uniforms can reduce dropout rates by 16% and absenteeism by more than 35%. This simple solution took root in McGriff’s mind and started her journey helping girls transform their lives.
As she took an entrepreneurship (创业) class, she was tasked with creating a business or nonprofit for a class project, which reminded her of the idea of the school uniform. Soon she developed an idea. After conducting field research, McGriff returned home, presented her education project at entrepreneurship competitions and won $35, 000 in startup fund. Eventually she established her nonprofit, Style Her Empowered (SHE), to bring her vision to life.
That first year, the group hired local tailors and provided uniforms and school fees for65 girls. But they soon ran into a problem — the students were outgrowing quickly. To address this, McGriff’s team, together with local tailors and students, designed an innovative “growing uniform” which could be adjusted to fit a girl for up to three years, accommodating six different sizes.
Today, SHE serves girls in 20 rural villages in southern Togo, providing 1, 500 girls a year with free uniforms, school fees, supplies, tutoring, and much more. Once enrolled, students receive weekly tutoring. As a result, SHE’s students consistently pass their exams at higher rates than the national average. “Our students have increased their performance in school dramatically,” McGriff said. “If given the opportunity, they shine.”
24. What contributes to girls’ high dropout rates according to paragraph 2?
A. Financial difficulty. B. Family conflict.
C. Academic performance. D. School arrangement.
25. When did McGriff start her nonprofit organization?
A. After she analyzed the data of studies.
B. When she learned about girls’ dropout rates.
C. When she won entrepreneurship competitions.
D. After she read a book on girls’ unfair treatment.
26. How did SHE settle the issue of uniforms for girls?
A. By hiring famous local tailors. B. By creating adjustable uniforms.
C. By providing uniforms of various sizes. D. By increasing the school uniform budget.
27. Why does the writer mention the school performance of SHE’s students?
A. To highlight their hard work. B. To suggest the popularity of SHE.
C. To indicate their further development. D. To show the effectiveness of SHE’s practice.

Getting into arguments with strangers online or family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wall. We are probably all guilty (有过失的) of feeling like we are right, even if we don’t have all the facts. This phenomenon is called the “illusion of information adequacy (IOIA)”.
“Interpersonal conflict is on the rise, driving increases in anger, anxiety, and general stress,” says Angus Fletcher, a researcher at the Ohio State University. “We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see how they could be reduced.”
In the study, the team surveyed 1, 261 Americans online. All the participants read an article about an imaginary school with water shortage. Group one read an article that only gave reasons for merging (合并) with another school that has better water. Group two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. Group three was the control group that read both sets of the arguments.
They found the majority of the first two groups believed they had enough information to decide what to do. They said they would follow the recommendations in the article they read and thought others would make the same decision. About 55 percent of the control group recommended the schools’ merge.
The team calls this belief IOIA. Fletcher describes it as, “The less our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know. This makes us leap to confident conclusions and decisive judgments, when we miss necessary information.”
The team also found some were willing to change their minds — once they had all the facts. Timing also plays a role. The people in the study changed their opinions that were recently formed, not long-held beliefs.
According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to reduce IOIA when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something I'm missing that would help me understand their position better?” This can help reduce unnecessary interpersonal conflict.
28. What was the main goal of Fletcher’s research?
A. To find ways to improve debate skills. B. To identify types of information sources.
C. To explain why it is necessary to stick to facts. D. To explore how to minimize misunderstandings.
29. Why did participants in Group one and two tend to have IOIA?
A. They held deep-rooted beliefs. B. They received a lot of false information.
C. They were exposed to one-sided arguments. D. They were worried about the school’s situation.
30. What does Fletcher suggest to fight IOIA?
A. Establishing interpersonal bonds. B. Seeking to bridge the information gap.
C. Encouraging others to see the big picture. D. Stressing the weaknesses in others’ positions.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Why Do People Insist They Are Correct? B. Does Interpersonal Conflict Lead to Stress?
C. Can Conversations Affect What We Believe? D. What Contributes to Sensible Decision-making?
D
There’s a beautiful song by the Indigo Girls released in 1989 called Closer to Fine. The song is about how our thirst for certainty in this world can, surprisingly, mislead us.
We seek rock-solid answers to life’s big questions (e.g. What is the purpose of life? What's the right career path for me?) because we think this will allow us to achieve happiness and contentment. For most of us, though, the belief that there are definitive answers to life’s many hard questions can lead to greater levels of dissatisfaction, anxiety, and unhappiness.
We all have the evolutionary (进化的) need to survive, but this world presents us with countless challenges to our survival. As civilization has grown more complex, the existential threats to our well-being have increased dramatically. Due to what is called evolutionary mismatch, we face lots of threats and challenges which are foreign to us from an evolutionary standpoint. Such threats include global climate change, racial inequality, dealing with trolls on social media, and so on. For our ancient brains, dealing with so many complex uncertainties creates existential anxiety. We simply did not evolve (进化) to live in the world in which we now live. Thus, we are unconsciously drawn to find certainty, in the hope of making life more predictable, controllable, and, perhaps most importantly, safe.
However, the nature of the universe is change. We are a part of this universe and so we are change as well. This is the “being” part of us as human beings. Much unnecessary suffering comes from living in disharmony with the universe, which includes trying to impose (强加) certainty, and predictability upon an ever-changing world. In order to become “closer to fine”, we need to learn to accept and embrace uncertainty through being more flexible so that we are living in greater harmony with the universe. As martial artist Bruce Lee advocated, we use “no way as way”.
32. What does the underlined word “definitive” mean in the second paragraph?
A. Reasonable. B. Certain. C. Positive. D. Detailed.
33. What does the evolutionary mismatch in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The evolutionary needs and our existential anxiety.
B. The increasing challenges and modern civilizations.
C. Our desire to survive and our desire to find certainty.
D. Our ancient brains and countless complex uncertainties.
34. What did Bruce Lee advocate?
A. Be flexible. B. Be predictable.
C. Change the universe. D. Accept suffering.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Find Certainty in an Uncertain World B. Embrace Uncertainty to Be Closer to Fine
C. How to Deal with Anxiety in Modern Life D. How to Satisfy Evolutionary Needs to Survive

How to overcome fixed mindset
When you have a fixed mindset, you limit your potential because of your beliefs. A person with a fixed mindset believes that self-improvement is hopeless, and you can’t improve your abilities. 36 Here are some strategies to help you overcome the fixed mindset.
• Work with your learning style
You understand information according to your preferred learning style. You may be unaware of what it is, but you will unconsciously express preferences. You may choose diagrams to words or listening to seeing. 37 Most people have a mix of learning styles, but everyone has strong preferences. Therefore, you can learn new skills with an approach that feels natural to you.
• Reward behavior not people
When people praise you because you are “smart”, it implies that you possess the fixed quality of being “smart.” For example, if you solve a puzzle quickly, and someone says, “You are so smart,” it might lead you to believe that your success is due to your inherent intelligence. 38
• Capture the day’s lessons
Before going to bed, sit, and reflect on what you have learned so you can absorb that knowledge. After the day’s journey ends, you can sit quietly and think or record your experiences in a journal. 39 An evening reflection lets you plan to do better the following day, so you continually refine your methods for achieving success.
• Don’t reinvent the wheel
40 If someone jumps off a cliff, you don’t need to do the same. If you see someone has made a mistake, it is an opportunity to avoid making that mistake yourself. We learn the lessons of history, so we don’t make the mistake of repeating them.
A. It is not possible for you to make a change.
B. Stay positive and learn from your mistakes.
C. There is no need to repeat other people’s mistakes.
D. But you can break free of the box and change your mindset.
E. Alternatively, you may need hands-on experience through practical classes.
F. You may also need time to review what works and what needs a new approach.
G. Meanwhile, this can overshadow the importance of hard work and the learning process.

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。
Armed with two over-packed suitcases, we arrived at the airport just in time for my flight. “Well, here we are, the airport,” my sister said with a sigh. As I watched her unload my luggage, I could see the sadness in her eyes. This was not easy on her either. We had both been dreading (害怕) this moment for the past week. One last hug and a final good-bye and I would be on my way to a new life abroad, leaving my beloved sister behind.
All my life I had loved airports. To me they were some kind of magic gateway to the world, a place from which to start great holidays and adventures. But today it seemed like a cold and heartless place. I looked at my sister and even though her eyes were filled with tears, she was trying to keep a brave face. “You’d better go or you’ll miss your flight,” she said.
“I’ll miss you,” I replied, and with those last words I was off. As promised, I did not look back, but by the time I reached the customs office I was sobbing (啜泣). “Cheer up, love,” the tall customs officer said with a smile. “It’s not the end of the world, you know.” But to me it was the end of the world, as I had known it.
While boarding the plane I was still crying. I did not have the energy to put my bag in the overhead locker, so I stuffed it on the empty seat next to mine. As I settled into my chair, a feeling of sadness overwhelmed me. I felt like my best friend had just been taken away from me.
Growing up, my sister and I would do everything together. Born barely fifteen months apart we not only looked alike, we were alike. Whenever one of us need something, the other one would come along. When the time came for us to go to college, we also went together. But now that our college days were over and I was off to a foreign country, all I had left were my memories.

One possible version:
Dear fellow students,
I firmly believe handwritten letters remain necessary in the digital age.
Despite the convenience of emails and instant messages, a handwritten letter carries a unique warmth that digital communication often lacks. Last year, I received a letter from my grandmother. Her shaky handwriting and heartfelt words moved me deeply. The effort she put into writing each character showed her love and care, which an email could never convey.
In conclusion, handwritten letters are a precious way to express emotions and strengthen relationships. Let’s keep this tradition alive.
Thank you.

Suddenly the plane shook heavily and the bag next to me fell on the floor. Startled, I quickly reached down to pick it up, and as I did, a small notebook fell out from the bag. I opened it and immediately recognized my sister’s handwriting. It was a diary she had secretly slipped into my bag before I left. Flipping through the pages, I found heartfelt messages, memories of our childhood, and words of encouragement for my new journey. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the depth of her love and support, even in my absence.
I spent the rest of the flight reading about my sister’s diary. Her words on the page brought a bittersweet mix of emotions, reminding me of the bond we shared and the strength she always gave me. As I read through the diary, I felt a sense of warmth and comfort, as if she were right there beside me. It was a precious gift that I would cherish throughout my time abroad, a reminder of the unbreakable connection between us despite the physical distance. Holding onto the diary, I knew that no matter where life took me, my sister would always be with me in spirit.
