At the start of a cross-subject（语境补充词）/cross-subject/ challenge, Asha's team received a real case rather than a textbook（教科书）/'tekstbuk/ exercise. The opening evidence connected ray（光线、射线）/rei/, reality（现实）/ˌriˈæləˌti/, recall（回忆；召回）/ˈriˌkɔl/, receptionist（接待员）/ri'sepʃәnist/, recipe（食谱、处方）/'resipi/, recite（背诵）/rəˈsaɪt/, recognise（认出；意识到）/ˈrekəɡnaɪzd/, recognition（赞誉、认得）/.rekәg'niʃәn/, recover（重新获得、恢复）/ri'kʌvә/, recreation（娱乐、休养）/.rekri'eiʃәn/, recycle（使再循环、重新利用）/.ri:'saikl/, reduce（减少）/rɪˈdjuːs/, refer（查阅；提到）/rɪˈfər/, and reflect（反映；思考）/rɪˈflɛkt/. The links looked unusual, but each detail came from a witness, label, form, or measurement（尺寸、度量）/'meʒәdmәnt/ in the case file. The team has already reviewed the complete plan.

A second folder added reform（改革）/rɪˈfɔrm/, refresh（使清新、使恢复）/ri'freʃ/, regard（看待；尊重）/rɪˈgɑrd/, regardless（不管、不注意）/ri'gɑ:dlis/, regular（正规军、正式队员）/'regjulә/, reject（拒绝、抵制）/ri'dʒekt/, relate（相关；讲述）/rɪˈleɪt/, relay（驿马、替班）/'ri:lei/, relief（减轻、解除）/ri'li:f/, rely（信赖、依赖）/ri'lai/, remarkable（不平常的、值得注意的）/ri'mɑ:kәbl/, remind（提醒、使想起）/ri'maind/, remote（远程、远程访问实用程序）/ri'mәut/, and remove（移除）/rɪˈmuːvd/. Some entries described people and places; others recorded objects, actions, or changing conditions. The students sorted each clue by time and source instead of forcing an early answer. The final choice was explained to everyone at the meeting.

The hardest set included republic（共和国、共和政体）/ri'pʌblik/, reputation（名誉、名声）/.repju'teiʃәn/, rescue（援救、解救）/'reskju:/, resistance（抵抗力、反抗）/ri'zistәns/, respective（分别的、各自的）/ri'spektiv/, response（回应）/rɪˈspɑns/, restrict（限制、限定）/ri'strikt/, reveal（透露；揭示）/rɪˈvil/, rhyme（韵、押韵）/raim/, riddle（谜语）/ˈrɪdəl/, rigid（坚硬的、刚性的）/'ridʒid/, ripe（成熟的、熟练的）/raip/, roast（烤肉、烘烤）/rәust/, and rocket（火箭、烟火）/'rɒkit/. Asha checked spelling and context while a partner marked facts that could be tested. Mina, who led（lead的过去式和过去分词）/led/ the discussion（讨论）/dɪˈskʌʃn/, asked for clear evidence. Then the supervisor（管理者、监督者）/.sju:pә'vaizә/ said, “Do not hide an awkward clue merely because it weakens（削弱、减弱）/'wi:kәn/ your first idea.”

The last working board brought together roll（卷、滚动）/rәul/, romantic（浪漫的、风流的）/rәu'mæntik/, root（根、根本）/ru:t/, routine（常规、日常工作）/ru:'ti:n/, royal（王室的）/rɔɪəl/, rubber（橡胶）/ˈrəbər/, rude（粗鲁无礼的、粗陋的）/ru:d/, rugby（橄榄球、橄榄球赛）/'rʌ^bi/, ruin（毁灭、推翻）/ruin/, sail（航行；帆）/seɪl/, salesman（售货员、推销员）/'seilzmәn/, saleswoman（女售货员、女店员）/'seilzwumәn/, salty（有盐分的、咸味浓的）/'sɒ:lti/, and satellite（人造卫星）/'sætlait/. The group compared the four boards, removed repeated claims, and wrote（写下）/roʊt/ a short reason beside every decision（决定）/dɪˈsɪʒn/. If the first method fails, we can try another one. That rule helped them correct two mistakes without blaming a teammate（队友）/'ti:mmeit/.

The group hoped to raise awareness of（提高对……的认识）/reɪz əˈwɛrnəs əv/ choices that have an impact on（对……有影响）/hæv ən ˌɪmˈpækt ɔn/ neighbours. The hall would be home to（是……的所在地）/bi hoʊm tɪ/ an open display. Residents in favour of（支持；赞成）/ɪn ˈfeɪvər əv/ the plan spoke on behalf of（代表）/ɔn bɪˈhæf əv/ their streets and answered questions in public（公开地；在公共场合）/ɪn ˈpəblɪk/. They asked what all sides have in common（有共同之处）/hæv ɪn ˈkɑmən/; as a result（因此）/ɛz ə rɪˈzəlt/, the argument（语境补充词）/ˈɑrgjəmənt/ became（变得）/bɪˈkeɪm/ a practical discussion. The completed record told（告诉）/toʊld/ a clearer story than the first draft. It did not pretend that every clue was equally important; it showed how disciplined reading, calm cooperation（合作、协力）/kәu.ɒpә'reiʃәn/, and a checkable（语境补充词）/checkable/ decision could turn a crowded case into useful（有用的）/ˈjuːsfəl/ action.
