Winter was the wrst time f year if yu didn’t have a hme t g t. Tragically, I fund myself in

twelve years f lyal service, then my landlrd evicting me because I had n mney t pay the rent.
Feeling embarrassed abut the situatin I faced, I kept it a secret frm my parents, wh lived miles
away.
Maybe I shuld have asked fr help, but smething in the back f my mind stpped me every time I
picked up a phne, hping everything wuld wrk ut in the end.
If nly that were true.
In December, as happy families went shpping fr Christmas, I wuld watch them frm a shp
entrance with nly a thin blanket t keep me warm. On ver ne ccasin, I wuld cry under the blanket
s n ne culd see me. I was s ashamed. Hw culd things have gt s bad?

was wet thrugh, a man apprached me with a kind smile, and he said, “It’s freezing, buddy. I can’t have
yu staying ut here tnight, especially n the Christmas hlidays, as if anything happened t yu, I
culdn’t live with myself.”
I lked up at him and a tear came t my eye. “Why wuld yu help me?” I replied.

me again after lsing my Betty last year. And there was me thinking I was ging t spend Christmas n

Imagine a chamelen (变色龙) standing n a rainbw. With every step, it changes clr, trying t
match its surrundings. But the mre it tries, the mre cnfused it gets. Is it red, blue, r green? This is
the dilemma (困境) many teenagers face tday — shifting identities (身份) in an attempt t belng.
Psychlgist Erik Eriksn described adlescence as a stage f “identity vs. rle cnfusin.” It’s a
time when yung peple struggle with questins abut their values, purpse, and self-wrth. Take a girl
fr example, a 16-year-ld student named Wanjiku in Nairbi. At hme, her parents remind her t
maintain cultural values — dress mdestly, respect elders, and pursue a “practical” career like medicine
r law. At schl, her peers laugh at her fr nt being “cl” enugh because she desn’t fllw the
latest TikTk trends r wear designer sneakers. Wanjiku feels like a chamelen, cnstantly changing t
fit int spaces where she never feels truly accepted.
This tug-f-war (拔河) between cultural expectatins and glbal influences is a defining aspect f
the identity crisis fr many teenagers. Urban teens struggle with balancing traditin and mdernity,
while thse in rural areas feel left behind in a digital age they can barely access. Add peer pressure and
academic expectatins t the mix, and the search fr identity becmes even mre challenging.
The gd news is that every teenager has the ptential t vercme this crisis and find their true
self. Like a tree bending in the wind, they may shake under pressure but can grw strnger with the
right supprt. Teens need t understand that their wrth isn’t determined by thers’ pinins. Activities
like jurnaling can help them reflect n their values, passins and strengths. Parents and teachers can
guide teenagers tward discvering their true selves. Teaching teenagers t critically analyze scial
media can prtect them frm falling int the trap f cmparisn.

28. Why des the authr mentin a chamelen in the beginning?
A. T raise a questin. B. T present an argument.
C. T intrduce the tpic. D. T challenge a ppular belief.
29. What has caused cnfusin fr Wanjiku?
A. The changing values in culture and sciety.
B. The burning desire t fllw the latest trend.
C. The nging pressure t achieve academic success.
D. The cnflicting expectatins frm different grups.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The identity crisis facing teenagers.
B. The negative impact f glbalizatin.
C. The challenge presented by a digital age.
D. The struggle between traditin and mdernity.
31. What is the authr’s attitude twards dealing with the prblem?
A. Dubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain.

Mve ver prtein (蛋白质), there’s a new ht nutrient-fiber (纤维)! The scial media trend f
fibermaxxing fcuses n eating mre fiber at meals and snacks. Like all trends, it can be dne crrectly.
Yet many n scial media are ding it incrrectly — and even dangerusly.
The idea f fibermaxxing is t meet and even g beynd yur daily fiber gals. Accrding t the
Academy f Nutritin and Dietetics, wmen shuld aim fr abut 25 grams f fiber per day, while men
shuld aim fr abut 38 grams. T calculate mre exact numbers, the recmmendatin is 14 grams f
fiber fr every 1,000 calries. Americans cnsume n average nly 15 grams f fiber per day, s upping
fiber is certainly a smart idea.
As many peple think mre is better, sme influencers are ging all ut n fibermaxxing with nt
nly fds like vegetables, fruit, beans, peas, nuts and seeds at meals and snacks, but als by adding
varius fiber supplements (补充剂), which gets them abve the recmmended daily fiber amunt.
“Like s many TikTk trends, this ne has the ptential fr harm if nt apprached prperly,” says
dietitian (营养学家)Rsanne Rust, c-authr f the frthcming ckbk “The GLP-1Kitchen”. Rust
explains that many f the trending vides prpse “fibermaxxing” t help treat blating ( 腹 胀 ),
hwever mst peple aren’t aware f hw much fiber they are eating befre they adpt this trend and
then add 20 grams f fiber (r mre) t their diet vernight.
Accrding t dietitian Liz Weiss, funder f Liz’s Healthy Table, balance matters. “Peple with
certain medical cnditins ften need t limit their fiber intake.” says Weiss. This is because high
amunts f fiber can be difficult fr their systems t manage and may wrsen symptms.
“If yu’re nt sure hw much fiber is right fr yu, a registered dietitian nutritinist can help guide
yu,” says Weiss. “Trends may cme and g, but a well-balanced, whle-fd diet will always stand the
test f time.”

32. What can we learn frm the figures in paragraph 2?
A. Americans dn’t take in enugh fiber every day.
B. Men take in mre fiber than wmen in daily life.
C. Taking in as much fiber as pssible is gd fr health.
D. Americans’ daily fiber intake meets the suggested amunt.
33. What is the prblem with fibermaxxing accrding t Rust?
A. Peple verd it unknwingly.
B. It spreads fast n scial media.
C. Influencers lie abut its benefits.
D. Americans lack fiber because f it.
34. What is Weiss’s suggestin fr peple abut a balanced diet?
A. T fllw the latest trend.
B. T register as a nutritinist.
C. T seek advice frm experts.
D. T replace fiber with whle fd.
35. What can be a suitable best title fr the text?
A. Fiber: The Hidden Threat t Wellbeing
B. Fiber: The Vital Nutrient fr Yur Health
C. Fibermaxxing: The Best Dietary Apprach
D. Fibermaxxing: The Latest Nutritin Trend

Jack, hw did yu becme interested in such a dangerus sprt?
M: Well, first I'd like t pint ut that climbing isn't a dangerus sprt, if yu take it seriusly. Almst all the peple wh have accidents are badly prepared, and this gives the sprt a bad name.
W: Is the excitement part f the reasn why yu are s keen n climbing?
M: Only a small part f the reasn. The sense f achievement is mre imprtant, I suppse. But the main thing is the sensatin f being s clse t nature.
W: I suppse yu get a view f muntains that nbdy else really sees?
M: Yes. But if I was drpped n the tp f a muntain by helicpter, it wuldn't be the same. It's knwing that yu've cvered the distance t the tp yurself, fighting every inch f the way. That's what makes yu feel s pleased with yurself when yu get t the tp.
W: Hw did yur parents feel when yu were addicted t the sprt?
M: Oh! Very anxius that I shuld get the prper training and experience, but they've never tried t put me ff. They were able t supprt me financially, which was useful.
