Courage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of“courage”is

“cor,” the Latin word for heart. Originally, courage meant“to speak one’s mind by telling all one's heart.”While

courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who

we are and how we feel.

I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my15-year-old daughter

and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she

persisted until she couldn't breathe properly.

Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal.

Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we

continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to

becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.

“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter,“I was just like you when I started. But with practice and

proper pace, you'll get there too.”

“Yeah, don't let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It's okay to admit when you're struggling or

not feeling alright. In fact, it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That's how we improve and

grow.”

Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students

addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments.

Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.

I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a

group. Courage, I've come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to

be a little brave r and make the world a little better.

24. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?

A. To argue for the true essence of courage. B. To question the common belief of courage.

C. To show the changing meaning of courage. D. To compare different interpretations of courage.

25. What did the two students suggest the daughter do?

A. Challenge her own limits. B. Seek help whenever possible.

C. Keep to a suitable pace. D. Stick with experienced climbers.

26. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?

A. The mother asked the girl to rest. B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.

C. The group celebrated the reach of the top. D. The two students pointed out the group's fault.

27. What does the author intend to tell us?

A. Kindness connects us all. B. Being a beginner takes courage.

C. With courage, everyone can be perfect. D. We don't have to be a hero to be brave.

“It's not unusual for guests to feel emotional when they discover the story behind our food,” says Patrick

Navis. “Not to mention when they taste it. One even cried with happiness.” The setting for these tearful scenes?

Navis's restaurant in a Dutch city. Here, the owner and his team create experimental food using herbs, roots,

flowers and nuts—some common, others less so.

Most of these ingredients(食材) come from the Ketelbroek Food Forest nearby. To the untrained eye, it's like

an ordinary wood. But there's one key difference: everything in it is edible. It was set up in 2009 by Dutch botanist

and environmentalist Noah Eck as an experiment in slow farming, to see what would happen if the right

combination of food plants were left to grow together like a natural forest, without chemicals.

“It's the first ‘food forest’ of its kind in Europe and we’re one of the few restaurants around the world

cooperating in this way,”says Navis.“We have over 400 different species of edible plants we plan our menus

around, including some we previously knew little about." He harvests the ingredients and, with his fellow chefs,

works them into beautifully presented tasting menus, served in a dining room hidden in the backstreets of the city,

“To us, fine dining is not about the fame of a restaurant, its location, expensive decoration, fancy cooking and

wine list,”says Navis.“It's about adding value through creativity and using ingredients nobody knows of, which are

grown with great attention.”However, he adds, luxury cooking can be about enhancing everyday ingredients, too.

“When looking at cooking in this way, who can argue that caviar( 鱼子酱 ), for example, is more valuable than a

carrot grown with specialist knowledge?”

Experimentation is extremely important to Navis. In the next five years, he hopes to open an outdoor

restaurant. But for now, the most important thing is to continue focusing on how plants are being grown and the

perennial system used in the Food Forest, reducing the need for replanting each season.

28. What can we learn about Navis's restaurant?

A. It is well received by its guests. B. It serves food with moving stories.

C. It offers experimental food for free. D. It is known for its rare food sources.

29. How is Ketelbrock Food Forest different from ordinary woods?

A. It is a natural forest. B. Diverse plants coexist in it.

C. Plants there take longer to grow. D. It provides safe food ingredients.

30. What is the key element of fine dining according to Navis?

A. Convenient locations. B. Expensive ingredients.

C. Innovative menus. D. Fancy cooking techniques.

31. What does “the perennial system” in the last paragraph probably refer to?

A. The sustainable farming practice. B. Farming with proper use of chemicals.

C. Natural farming without human intervention. D. An experimental farm for an outdoor restaurant.

My father started learning French at 57, drawn by the potential benefits of bilingualism in delaying dementia

(失智症). Now,20 years later, he's on his third teacher. Many people like my father have attempted to pick up a new

language. But can this really boost brain health?

According to experts, regularly using a new language brings cognitive( 认知的) benefits. If you're trying to

recall the right words in another language, your brain is forced to inhibit your mother tongue. This process, called

cognitive inhibition, helps improve your brain function. Repeating this process makes your brain more resistant to

diseases like dementia. The more you challenge your brain, the better it functions, even if your brain health starts to

decline.

However, evidence for the benefits of learning a second language in your 60s is weaker. Research by Dr. Leo

Antoniou found that older Italians who took English lessons for four months didn't see any difference in their

cognition scores, but people who didn't saw their scores decline. Prof. Diana Smith's 2023 studies found similar

results.

Researchers offered a few potential explanations for their disappointing results. One is that the participants

were highly motivated volunteers, probably of high cognitive level for their age, making it hard to see any

improvements. “When choosing participants, we have to be careful, are they really representative of the
