The world will become a better place when we realize that everyone can have bad days and that we care enough and take actions. A Kansas fourth-grade teacher Rachel Harder recognized this, and she found an amazing way to help out both her students and their families.
A few years ago, Rachel attended a trauma (精神创伤) conference. She learned that some police stations partnered with schools. They could let teachers know when their students need help, patience or extra care.
A year after the conference, Rachel had a student with autism who frequently had difficult days. To support the student, Rachel told the student’s mom to simply text her “Handle with Care” to let her know when the student was experiencing difficult time. “When she would text me, I knew that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet place to get help, not going to the playground for morning announcements (通告), so that the rest of her daughter’s day went well,” Rachel said.
The simple method was such a success that Rachel decided to send all of her students home with a note for their parents. It explained what the “Handle with Care” system was and how they could make use of it. In no time, the parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel’s unbelievable act of kindness.
But Rachel’s kindness didn’t end with her class. News spread of the amazing system, and teachers across the country began giving it a shot in their own class. Printed materials could be found on the school website, and the feedback (反馈) has been extremely positive!
24. What happened to Rachel a few years ago
A. She met with a policeman.
B. She noticed some students in need.
C. She acted as a host at a contest.
D. She raised a girl with autism.
25. What can we imagine Rachel probably did to the girl student
A. She asked to stop the morning announcements.
B. She talked with her in the playground.
C. She took her home ahead of time.
D. She comforted her at a quiet place.
26. How did the parents treat Rachel’s system
A. They paid no attention to it.
B. They changed it in daily use.
C. They accepted it thankfully.
D. They introduced it to others personally.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. A proper system.
B. A considerate teacher.
C. A story going online.
D. A class influencing the nation.

One afternoon in 2022, something on the Internet caught my eye：a tiny hedgehog (刺猬) held by a big hand. The post read: “HELP! My hedgehog abandoned (抛弃) her two babies, and I cannot raise both of them because I have to go to school full time. Good home with experience needed as soon as possible!”
I had no experience with baby hedgehogs. I was an animal person through and through and had raised cats, dogs, birds, and guinea pigs. But this tiny animal was new to me, and it touched me that he was abandoned, that maybe I could love him and be the best mom for him.
I wrote the most heartfelt email I could. That was how I found my Louie. True to my word, he was my baby. Louie didn’t know he was a hedgehog. He never curled (蜷缩) into a ball, and he liked my two cats, no fear. The cats, however, were afraid of him, as he often moved into the room, running after the cats and blocking my way.
By the time he reached old age, Louie had only three feet. However, he still managed to climb the stairs to visit other animals. He helped me realize my dream of hedgehog photography, a hobby that began during childhood with cats and dollhouses. I love showing off his modeling.
Life has meaning because of the purpose we have. Louie needed a good home and mom, and in return, I got to be a good mother and be needed. Hedgehogs require great amounts of patience, trust, and knowledge—but the payoff (回报) is pretty great.
28. The author got Louie from .
A. a pet shop B. a family friend
C. a hedgehog owner D. a hedgehog rescue center
29. How did Louie seem to feel at the author’s home
A. Frightened. B. Relaxed. C. Lonely. D. Tired.
30. What can we learn about Louie from paragraph 4
A. He disliked climbing stairs. B. He enjoyed being left alone.
C. He always refused to be in photos. D. He was active despite his difficulty in moving.
31. What does the author say about raising Louie
A. It was easier than expected. B. It gave her a sense of safety.
C. It made her lose her patience. D. It was satisfying and meaningful.
D
In various restaurants worldwide, there’s a new sight-child-sized robots. These robots can welcome guests, show them to their tables, deliver food and drinks, and even transport dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some believe these robot waiters could be a solution to today’s worker shortages in the restaurant industry, with tens of thousands of them now in use.
But other people think that robots can’t replace human workers. Robot waiters can’t take orders, and they struggle with steps, limiting their abilities.
Despite these disadvantages, their use is growing. For example, in Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai faced difficulty finding enough workers for his restaurant, Noodle Topia. To address this, he purchased robots from Pudu Robotics. These robots have been a success, with one leading diners to their seats, another delivering food, and a third transporting dirty dishes.
Zhai found that using these robots reduced his need for employees. Three robots now do the work of what used to require five or six people. In terms of cost, a robot costs around $15 000, while a human can cost $5,000 to $6,000 per month. These robots also have a surprising benefit-they free up human servers to spend more time with customers, resulting in increased tips, Additionally, diners often share videos of the robots on social media, attracting more visitors to the restaurant.
However, not all restaurants have had the same success. For instance, Chili’s (奇利斯餐厅)introduced robot servers in 2020, expanding the test to 61U.S. restaurants before suddenly stopping the program. The robots were criticized (批评) for their slow movement and getting in the way of human servers. A survey showed that 58% of guests believed the robots didn’t improve their overall dining experience.
32. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To introduce a survey about robot waiters.
B. To show the success of robot waiters in restaurants.
C. To describe the appearance of child-sized robots in restaurants.
D. To discuss the challenges of hiring human workers in restaurants.
33. What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Solve. B. Narrow. C. Ignore. D. Control.
34. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The history of robot waiters in the U.S.
B. The challenges of introducing robot servers.
C. The effect of social media on the restaurant industry.
D. The advantages of using robots in the restaurant industry.
35. What can be inferred from the passage
A. All restaurants with robot servers are successful.
B. The use of robot waiters still has a long way to go.
C Robot waiters are cheaper to employ than human workers.
D. The restaurant industry is not affected by worker shortages.

细节理解题。根据第一段中“The post read: “HELP! My hedgehog abandoned (抛弃) her two babies, and I cannot raise both of them because I have to go to school full time. Good home with experience needed as soon as possible!”(帖子写道：“救命！我的刺猬抛弃了她的两个孩子，我不能同时抚养他们，因为我必须全职上学。急需有经验的好家庭!”)”以及第三段中的“I wrote the most heartfelt email I could. That was how I found my Louie.(我尽我所能写了一封最诚挚的邮件。我就是这样找到我的路易的)”可知，作者在网上看到路易的主人发帖为他寻找新的主人，于是，作者领养了他。故选C。
29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“He never curled (蜷缩) into a ball, and he liked my two cats, no fear. The cats, however, were afraid of him, as he often moved into the room, running after the cats and blocking my way.(他从不蜷缩成一个球，他喜欢我的两只猫，一点也不害怕。然而，猫很怕他，因为他经常跑进房间，追着猫跑，挡住我的路)”可知，小刺猬路易在作者家里轻松自在，毫不拘束。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“By the time he reached old age, Louie had only three feet. However, he still managed to climb the stairs to visit other animals.(到了老年，路易只有三脚了。然而，他仍然设法爬上楼梯去看望其他动物)”可知，路易虽然少一只脚但仍然很活跃。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Louie needed a good home and mom, and in return, I got to be a good mother and be needed. Hedgehogs require great amounts of patience, trust, and knowledge—but the payoff (回报) is pretty great.(路易需要一个好的家和妈妈，作为回报，我要做一个好妈妈，让他需要我。刺猬需要大量的耐心、信任和知识——但回报相当可观)”可知，养刺猬并不是一件容易的事，但作者从中获得了乐趣和满足感，感受到生命的意义。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了餐馆中使用机器人服务员的情况，包括其优点和缺点，以及不同餐馆的成功和失败经验。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In various restaurants worldwide, there’s a new sight-child-sized robots. These robots can welcome guests, show them to their tables, deliver food and drinks, and even transport dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some believe these robot waiters could be a solution to today’s worker shortages in the restaurant industry, with tens of thousands of them now in use.(在世界各地的餐馆里，都有一种儿童大小的新型机器人。这些机器人可以欢迎客人，带他们到桌子前，送食物和饮料，甚至把脏盘子运回厨房。一些人认为，这些机器人服务员可以解决当今餐饮业工人短缺的问题，目前已有数万台机器人投入使用)”可推知，第一段主要是为了告诉我们机器人服务员在餐馆的使用非常成功。故选B。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Despite these disadvantages, their use is growing. For example, in Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai faced difficulty finding enough workers for his restaurant, Noodle Topia.(尽管有这些缺点，但它们的使用正在增长。例如，在密歇根州的麦迪逊高地，Li Zhai的餐馆Noodle Topia很难找到足够的工人)”以及划线单词下文“These robots have been a success, with one leading diners to their seats, another delivering food, and a third transporting dirty dishes.(这些机器人已经取得了成功，其中一个将就餐者带到座位上，另一个提供食物，第三个运送脏盘子)”可知，Li Zhai使用机器人服务员是为了解决饭店招不到工人的问题。由此可知，划线单词意为“解决”。选项A“Solve(解决)”；选项B“Narrow(缩小)”；选项C“Ignore(忽视)”；选项D“Control(控制)”。故选A。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Zhai found that using these robots reduced his need for employees. Three robots now do the work of what used to require five or six people. In terms of cost, a robot costs around $15,000, while a human can cost $5,000 to $6,000 per month. These robots also have a surprising benefit-they free up human servers to spend more time with customers, resulting in increased tips, Additionally, diners often share videos of the robots on social media, attracting more visitors to the restaurant.(Zhai发现，使用这些机器人减少了他对员工的需求。过去需要五六个人才能完成的工作，现在三个机器人就能完成。在成本方面，一个机器人的成本约为15000美元，而一个人每月的成本为5000至6000美元。这些机器人还有一个惊人的好处——它们解放了人类服务员，让他们有更多的时间和顾客在一起，从而增加了小费。此外，食客们经常在社交媒体上分享机器人的视频，吸引更多的游客来餐厅)”可知，第四段主要讲述了在餐饮业使用机器人的优势。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The robots were criticized (批评) for their slow movement and getting in the way of human servers. A survey showed that 58% of guests believed the robots didn’t improve their overall dining experience.(这些机器人因动作缓慢和妨碍人类服务而受到批评。一项调查显示，58%的客人认为机器人并没有改善他们的整体用餐体验)”可知，并不是所有的机器人服务员都取得了成功。由此推知，机器人服务员的使用还有很长的路要走。故选B。
