Five years ago, it would have been more likely that I’d be turning out for Chelsea Football Club than attending the RHS Chelsea flower show, let alone building a garden there. As a promising young footballer, gardening was not part of my vocabulary.
It was after a disaster that I found gardening to be a form of relief, The night of 14 June, 2017 changed my life forever. The Grenfell Tower fire took the lives of 72 people. Living nearby, I was completely broken. I took to the streets to be among others in my attempt to find some comfort or peace of mind. What I encountered changed my attitude entirely.
With no thought or plan, I channelled my energy into greening and beautifying a deserted, unloved community
space. I honestly didn’t have a clue what I was doing, but that didn’t matter. I journeyed to every garden centre within reach, asking for plants to be donated to our newly-developed community space. The response was strong, People would walk past and share a smile or some conversation. Phone numbers were exchanged and group chats were created. Dates and times were set for organised gatherings to share our stories, knowledge and history.
What’s eye-catching in the garden is a mangrove (红杉树) sculpture. Made with wood from deforested mangroves, it aims to raise awareness of the harmful impact we are having on the world as we continue to cut down our trees for profit. The building of the garden has been a community effort, and shows what can be done when people pull together and do something positive.
If visitors take one thing from the garden, I hope it is the awareness that we can come together as a community not just to respond to a disaster, but for the future generations who will have to live with the consequences of our actions today.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational technology (EdTech) has brought incomparable convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is crucial to recognize the challenges these AI-driven tools pose to the autonomy and professional judgment of instructors.
One of its primary concerns is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged digital content and standardized solutions, leaving insufficient room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods. Each student possesses unique characteristics. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and knowledge, are best positioned to tailor their approaches to these individual needs. However, AI-driven tools restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to inspire students to reach their maximum potential.
EdTech companies offer step-by-step solutions to textbook problems. These are intended to act as study aids. However, some students employ this feature as a means to merely copy solutions without comprehending concepts. Consequently, instances of cheating on assignments and exams become widespread. While these tools may offer convenience, students may use external resources or cooperate with others during quizzes, affecting the honesty of their learning outcomes.
The implications of this depersonalization and the increase in academic dishonesty are far-reaching. By
decreasing the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students. Education should not only focus on knowledge acquisition, but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should help one’s mind grow, not simply memorize information. Through dynamic classroom discussions, cooperative projects, and hands-on activities, instructors play a crucial role in developing these essential skills.
While AI-driven EdTech tools undeniably have their virtues, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructor autonomy and educational experience. Instead of relying only on pre-packaged content and standardized solutions, these tools should be designed to empower instructors to adapt and customize their approaches while taking full advantage of the benefits of technology.
28.What do the underlined words “the depersonalization of instruction” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Tailored methods for individuals.
B. Instructors’ dependence on Al.
C. Insufficient resources of Al-driven tools.
D. The one-size-fits-all approach.
29.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. A possible solution.
B. A further problem.
C. A well-meant intention.
D. A suggested application
30.In what aspect do students suffer most with AI-driven EdTech education?
A. Thinking skills.
B. Teamwork building.
C. Interest development.
D. Knowledge acquisition.
31.What is conveyed about Al-driven EdTech tools in the last paragraph?
A. They should be used widely.
B. Their benefits deserve our attention.
C. Their resources need enriching.
D. They should support instructor autonomy.
D
Feel exhausted after a party? Rather see one close friend than a group of acquaintances? Enjoy your own company? In our world, that makes you an introvert (内向的人). However, there’s another possible explanation—vertical attachment. If you are closer to your parents and family members than to your peers, you are vertically attached, which means you rely more on family for comfort.
If you are closer to your peers, then you are peer attached. We live in a peer-oriented world. We believe that having lots of friends means that we are well-adjusted. We put our kids in playgroups and daycare for peer interaction. We expect teenagers to want to hang out with their friends, thinking it is the natural way of things.
Result? Generations often feel worlds apart. We use different language, dress, and technology apps. Even if multiple generations are invited to the same party, the kids go to the basement playroom while the parents stay upstairs.
Vertically-attached individuals can feel out of place in this context, demonstrating the traces of introversion. Will they be exhausted after a party with same-aged acquaintances? Absolutely. Would they rather spend time with one close friend? Sure. Do they enjoy alone time? Yes, more than they enjoy time fitting in with peers.
It’s normal that many people need alone time to recharge. However, vertically-attached people often label themselves as introverted. They feel insecure that others have more friends and live richer lives. They claim that their
family attachments arise from their loved ones being stuck with them.
If you feel these insecurities, know that there is nothing wrong with you, and you are not missing out on anything. Your attachment style is just different from the culture where you live. Have confidence in the strength of the relationships you have, whether it is with a mom who feels more like a best friend, or a grandmother with whom you can share anything. They are meaningful, enriching relationships, even if they look different from the cultural norm.
32.Who is vertically attached according to the text?
A. Mike, who feels at ease with his teachers.
B. Maggie, who enjoys film time alone at weekends.
C. Tom, who feels burnt out after a family get-together.
D. Lisa, who often turns to her dad when things are hard.
33.What is the popular belief among parents?
A. Younger generations should be self-disciplined.
B. Being sociable is a desired quality for their children.
C. Their children need more friends than they themselves do.
D. Different generations should have different circles of acquaintances.
34.What advice is given to vertically-attached people?
A. Be that as it may, just leave it as it is.
B. Never underestimate your inner power.
C. Hang out more with friends and adjust to it.
D. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
35.What is the author’s attitude towards vertically-attached people?
A. Biased.
B. Objective.
C. Unconcerned.
D. Critical.

While everyone’s image of their dream home looks a little different, most people will agree that their ideal neighbourhood is filled with friendly faces. Getting to know your neighbours takes time and effort. 36 Nick Tebbey, national executive officer of Relationships Australia, says spring is the perfect season to start getting to know your neighbours. “When the weather starts warming up we’re all spending more time outdoors.” It makes sense that the best way to get to know a neighbour is to first make sure they actually know you’re neighbours.
37 “There are always opportunities to make a connection and they can be as small as a nod, a wave or a friendly good day,” says Tebbey.
To put yourself in the way of these opportunities, Tebbey suggests timing your outings to take place “when other people are out and about as well”. When it comes to actually introducing yourself to your neighbours, Tebbey notes it’s important to do what feels comfortable, whether that’s leaving a note on a building notice board or chatting to someone while you wait for the elevator. 38
Once you’ve introduced yourself to a neighbor, you can start conversations. 39 “If they’re gardening, ask what they’re planting --be interested in what people share.” Tebbey says. And once someone tells you their dog’s
name or where they’re about to go on holiday, try your best to keep that in mind so you can continue the conversation next time you cross paths.
“It’s not about grand gestures or sharing everything about yourself with your neighbours. 40 ” Tebbey says. “It’s small but meaningful interactions and taking interest in each other's lives, but without any sense of expectation?”
A. In fact, it’s almost the opposite.
B. It doesn’t have to require a lot of effort.
C. It’s vital to ask questions and remember people’s answers.
D. However, it can potentially be easier than you may expect.
E. Should you start to feel uncomfortable, you could invite another.
F. And the easiest way to do that is with short, repeated interactions.
G. The less anxious you feel, the more likely you are to commit to them.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

I had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and brilliant response whether in class debates or casual
arguments. Thus, when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate series, I was naturally extremely confident of myself.
All the members in my team were good speakers. We had an experienced teacher who trained us well. But I was undoubtedly the most outstanding speaker. In each of the rounds that I debated in, all the judges selected me as the best one. This meant that my confidence was the highest by the time we found ourselves with one week to train before the finals. I had every reason to believe that I would be voted the best speaker for the debate series.
I began to be self-important about the whole business and started behaving that way with my team-mates. I would laugh at Eton’s poor debating style. I would complain of Vivian’s slow response. I saw myself as the natural debater who would be disappointed at their bad performance.
As the finals drew near, I became more and more dissatisfied with my team. I began missing practices. My teacher was worried. My teammates were panicked. However, they had no choice but to rely on me to win the finals. Even if they would love to remove me from the team they could not because there was no replacement good enough.
The day of the finals finally came. I was very excited that I was able to finally show off my debating skills. Everyone was expecting my performance. They knew that I was praised to be the one most likely to win the best speaker for the debate series.
