Talylyn Driver Experiences are EXCLUSIVE — the whole trip is yours!
You blow the whistle, release the brakes and open the regulator, a hiss of steam and the train starts to move — the start of the journey and the start of an experience of a lifetime.
Driver Experience: 600
Driver Experience Overview: the size of our narrow gauge locos means only one visitor can be on the loco at a time, so our Driver Experience trains are EXCLUSIVE—— the whole trip is yours, only carrying your guests.
During the breaks it will be possible to discuss the history of the line, its operation and its continued development——the questions are yours to ask.
Driver Experience Booking Information:
The cost of up to 3 guests accompanying the driver travelling on the train is included in the package. Any further guests (up to a maximum of 15) may enjoy the trip at a price of 10 each.
As the railway is operated by volunteers, please give us at least 4 weeks’ notice of your preferred date to ensure that we have a volunteer crew available for the event.
Other Requirements:
A simple medical questionnaire will need to be satisfactorily completed. Good eyesight(with glasses if required) and hearing are obviously important, as is the ability to climb into and out of the cab. We regret that these experiences are not suitable for disabled persons.

In primary school, I evolved from the class half-wit to the smart-aleck, attracting teasing for being the teacher’s pet. Mr. Slavin, fair but partial to answers, favored me over boys like Thommo, who struggled to remember his name. Thommo faced regular canings—four strokes from Mr Slavin or six from the Deputy Head. His screams echoed as he fled each stroke. One day, police found his school case stuffed with stolen trinkets, and he vanished forever.
Despite Thommo’s fate, I envied his rebellious spirit. As the despised “pet,” I desired respect. My desk at the back, reserved for top students, isolated me. To rebel visibly, I carved railway tracks into the desk, pushing pencil pieces with “chuffing” noises. Inspired by my firebug tendencies, I rubbed a ruler against the wood until smoke—then flames—emerged. Mr Slavin’s gaze turned, and I earned four stinging strokes. The pain paled against the glory of newfound bad reputation.
This triumph spurred darker urges. Bullied by older boys, I mimicked their cruelty on younger ones but held back instinctively. My hatred for suffering pain conflicted with a personality riddled with flaws. At home, I staged useless escapes—packed with peanut butter sandwiches—only to linger near forbidden roads. Symbolic rebellion surfaced in tunneling through chicken coops, emerging crowned in bird droppings.
My mother, unnoticing my school struggles, boasted of my intellect to neighbors like Nola Huthnance, whose endless chatter rivaled her own. Even as I accepted her praise, I sensed its toxicity. Unlike Gogol’s mother, who credited her son with inventing the steam engine, mine saw genius in academic report cards. Such adoration led to isolation, compelling me to develop a contrary identity.
24. How did Mr. Slavin treat the author compared to Thommo
A. Strict but fair. B. Partial but encouraging.
C. Hostile and dismissive. D. Indifferent and objective.
25. Why was Thommo taken away by the police
A. He set fire to the classroom. B. He escaped during caning.
C. He bullied younger students. D. He stole items from stores.
26. The underlined word “chuffing” most likely refers to:
A. Crying in pain. B. Whispering secrets.
C. Making train-like noises. D. Laughing mockingly.
27. What can be inferred about the author's attitude toward his mother's praise
A. He felt pressured to develop a rebellious identity.
B. He actively embraced her admiration as motivation.
C. He remained indifferent to her opinions.
D. He resented her comparisons with other families.
C
Humans are so hardwired to fit in with the crowd that they often ignore potential risks. Following trends blindly isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, it’s perfectly normal. That is linked with a psychological concept that refers to humans’ core need to belong to a social group and bond with others. It’s considered to be one of humans’ basic needs. Multiple psychological analyses argue that human connections are as important as basics like food and shelter.
Though following a trend on social media isn’t exactly as important as outrunning a tiger, human evolution (进化) has made our brains adapt themselves to social signals. Has social media changed how humans signal their social condition to one another Not exactly, says Rutledge. “Rather, it has certainly allowed certain trends to circulate faster and farther than they would have otherwise. Take fashion: While trends once walked down from fashion runways toward common use over years, social media now allows mini -trends to emerge and die out within weeks.”
People all find trends elicit a pull, and psychologists have figured out reasons. Blame evolution again, Rutledge suggests. “Our brains are hardwired to notice things that are unusual,” she says. “If it’s not normal and other people are all doing it, we have to check it out.” Thus, we notice attention grabbers, giving trends even more reasons for people to follow them.
No one is free from noticing trends, but one group in particular is more likely to follow trends: Teens and young adults. Older adults tend to feel more secure in their identity, a sense that may protect them from being as sensitive to every passing craze. Indeed, social attention varies by age, with older adults not paying as much attention to how they communicate and are linked with others as their younger counterparts. Individuals may be more sensitive to social reward-positive input from members of their social circles-during midlife.
28. Why do people follow trends blindly
A. Trends are difficult to resist. B. They’re driven by mental trouble.
C. They desire social connection D. Trends show humans’ basic needs.
29. What does Rutledge think of social media
A. It is the birthplace of trends. B. It facilitates the spread of trends.
C. It has undergone a big change D. It is a vital part of human evolution.
30. What does the underlined part “elicit a pull” mean in paragraph 3
A. have appeal. B. change relationship
C. bring harm. D. represent influence.
31. What change comes with people growing older
A. They stop following trends. B. They have a strong social identity.
C. They seek a larger social circle. D. They care less about interacting ways.
D
It is late at night. You wander empty streets, heart pounding, muscles tense, sensing danger nearby. Now imagine the same situation, but without these responses. Would you still feel afraid Experiences like this unveil a profound truth: our minds are not just products of the brain but emerge from its constant dialogue with the body.
At the heart of this connection is the vagus nerve (神经) — the body’s longest nerve. It winds its way from the brain throughout the head and trunk, issuing commands to our organs and receiving feelings from them. Much of the confusing range of functions it regulates are automatic and operate without conscious control. These complex responses engage a group of neural networks that link brain and body. The vagus nerve is, in one way of thinking, the conduit of the mind.
The primary function of the vagus nerve is to dampen the body’s responses. After a fear episode, for example, the body’s powerful, life-saving threat response must be ended to restore resting heartbeat, breathing, blood flow and the rest. So powerful is its influence that the vagus nerve can literally stop the beating heart. Conversely, it can also stimulate bodily responses by releasing the brakes to accelerate.
The vagus nerve is the biological basis for many new therapies (疗法) worldwide. However, some people have taken the vagus nerve’s wide-ranging bodily influence as an invitation to engage in false science. In some corners of the Internet, so-called polyvagal therapy — physical or breathing exercises that some claim reset the vagus nerve — is proposed to address just about any disorder of the mind or body. There’s little evidence that these popular therapies are anything but comfort.
The vagus nerve doesn’t need to be a cure for everything — its worth appreciating all on its own. Neuroscientists compare the vagus to an orchestra conductor, harmonizing bodily systems to compose our conscious experience. Professor Linda Rinaman once said, “We’re not just brains in jars. Our thoughts and feelings are rooted in flesh and blood.”
32. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1
A. By sharing a story. B. By creating a scene.
C. By asking a question. D. By defining a concept.
33. What does the underlined word “conduit” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Channel. B. Product. C. Mirror. D. Nature
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The popularity of a biological treatment.
B. The effectiveness of breathing exercises.
C. The misuse of unproven nerve therapies.
D. The evidence of vagus nerve’s functions.
35. What do Linda Rinaman’s words imply
A. Blood circulation determines our emotions.
B. Physical health is unrelated to mental states.
C. Body and mind interact to form experiences.
D. Our brain stores feelings separate from body.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Pantomime (哑剧) is a form of dramatic entertainment that uses facial expressions and body movements to communicate, rather than speech and dialogue. ____36____ Nowadays, this art form of physical expression is popular in many different locations in theaters, street performances, and dance studios.
The term “pantomime” is often interchangeable with the word “mime”. ____37____ Regardless of which word is used and what it refers to, performances are often placed into two style categories: the silent story and the narrative (叙事的) story.
Narrative stories require the performer to silently act out a scene presented by a narrator. In these performances, the actors may be required to change their facial expressions to show different emotions described by the narrator, or they may have to use their body to describe movements in a variety of environments and settings. Silent stories are similar in the way the actors perform. ___38____ So it may require extra movements by the actors or audience interaction.
In the sixth century B. C., pantomime was usually a small part of a large production that also included music and paintings. Dancers were frequently used as the physical interpretation of a song. ____39____ Over time, pantomime gained and lost popularity, but became a main part of operatic acts in England during the 1600s. Despite this, modern pantomimes did not come into existence until sometime in the 1800s.
____40____ For example, women often play male roles, while men regularly play female characters, the audience is encouraged to participate, and actors may be seen playing several characters in addition to their musical duties.
A. Pantomimes are usually meant for children.
B. It was only seen in ancient Greece originally.
C. The success of pantomimes depends heavily on the performers.
D. Both of them can describe either the performance or the performer.
E. To do this, they would express the words through dramatic movements.
F. However, there’s no narrator to express what is happening in the story.
G. Pantomime productions have developed some loosely followed conventions.

I remember opening my iPad one day in fifth grade, inspired by a lighthearted conversation with my cousin about scary stories. Hours later, I had __41.__ my first short story.

This __45.__ happens often. Hobbies start as a form of.__ 46__, a way to relax ourselves. Yet, over time societal pressures to __47.__ can change how we view them. Whether it's painting, playing an instrument, or any other _48.__, there's an expectation to perform at a high level. When we don't meet that standard, the joy fades, replaced by feelings of inadequacy.
For me, writing has been the one hobby I've regularly returned to, __49.__ moments of self-doubt. I've taken creative writing classes and seen significant improvement, but the constant __50.__ for perfection turns writing from a __51.__ into a chore. I've come to realize that this __52.__ me of the joy of writing.
We need to recognize that it is __53.__ not to be great at something. Perfection is often __54.___ and more often than not, we are our toughest critics. The challenge, then, is finding balance between enjoyment and __55.__. Embrace imperfection, and enjoy the process, even if you're not “great” at it.

57. 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。
One day five-year-old Beth received a piano as a gift from her neighbor Mr. Laurence, which had belonged to his late granddaughter. When Beth saw that piano for the first time, she was playing with her friends. The beautiful sound flowing from the large pink piano immediately caught their attention. Turning around and seeing the charming piano decorated with golden birds, flowers, and trees that shone like stars, Beth was overwhelmed (充溢) with emotion.
After knowing it was from her neighbor Mr. Laurence, who had just lost her little granddaughter, Beth resolved to express her gratitude in spite of her shyness and worry. Mr. Laurence had always been seen as a “scary man” by the children for he is so tall with beard on the face and a deep voice, seemingly unapproachable.
“You’ll have to go and thank him,” said her sister Hannah by way of a joke, for the idea of the child’s really going never entered her head. “Yes, I mean to. I guess I’ll go now, before I get frightened thinking about it.”
And, to the amazement of everyone present, Beth walked down the garden, through the fence, and in Laurence’s through the door. “Well, it is the strangest thing I ever see!” cried Hannah, staring after her, while the other children were made quite speechless by her unexpected act.
They would have been still more amazed if they had seen what Beth did afterward. She went and knocked at the study door before she gave herself time to think. When a deep voice called out “Come in”, she entered, right up to Mr. Laurence, who looked quite surprised, and held out her hand, saying, with only a small quake in her voice, “I came to thank you, sir, for the piano...” But she didn’t finish, for he looked so sad and friendly that she forgot what she intended to say and, only remembering that he had lost the little girl he loved, she put both arms round him and hugged him.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Mr. Laurence was so touched and pleased.

Mr. Laurence was so touched and pleased. He just set her on his knee, feeling as if he had got his granddaughter back again. “Thank you, child. If you’d like, we could play the piano together,” he said warmly. Beth did not fear him at all from that moment; she nodded and then talked to him freely as if they had been old friends. When it was time for Beth to leave, Mr. Laurence offered to walk with her to her own gate.
The children were so surprised to see Mr. Laurence walk Beth home. Before Mr. Laurence went back home, he shook hands with Beth. The children were numb with shock at the sight with their eyes wide open. But Beth felt a surge of pride. She had not only conquered her fear but corrected the misunderstanding about Mr. Laurence in the gentlest way. Since then, Mr. Laurence and Beth often played the piano together and the children visited the old gentleman from time to time, brightening up all of their days.
