time, she paid no attention to other 7 . Over time, Monica ran more easily and more 8 . After
about two hours, Monica finally completed the marathon, and even won the second place!

they laughed happily together. Other people’s speed isn’t the speed you should run at. Just run at your own speed!

Many people may throw away the nuts (核) after eating fruits, but artists of nut carving (核雕) have instead
collected them and turned them into artworks.
“One nut, from 0.8 to 6 centimeters, can be made into beautiful earrings and other artworks,” said Tan Wanhai,
the top artist of Weifang nut carving.
The history of nut carving might start from the Qing Dynasty (1636-1912). During that time, Wang Dayan, the
best artist in the Palace Museum, spread the skill to the local people in Shandong province. Because of the difficult
carving skills required and its rich artistic meanings, Weifang nut carving was listed as a national intangible cultural
heritage in 2008.
“It’s ▲ to bring this kind of traditional art to life,” said Tan, the 48-year-old artist. “Every nut looks different
before being carved,” Tan added. Artists have to study each nut to carefully plan out their artwork. Besides,

to the creative ideas of artists in Weifang, nut carving artworks have been increasingly welcomed by people in
China,” Tan said. “This popularity, in turn, has also attracted many young people to learn the traditional skills of nut

The 31st International University Sports Federation(FISU) Summer World University Games were held from
July 28, 2023 to August 8, 2023 in Chengdu, which were more than just medals and sports.
A total of 6,500 student athletes from 113 countries and regions competed at the Chengdu FISU Games.
Besides showing their skills in different sports, these athletes also learned about many sides of Chinese culture. Each
night in the athletes’ village, for example, they could experience activities such as trying on hanfu, playing Chinese
chess and playing traditional Chinese music.
They also had the chance to meet one of China’s national treasures: the giant panda. On July 31 in a special area
of Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, overseas athletes met the 6-year-old Zhi Ma, the panda who
inspired (启发) the design of Rongbao—the mascot (吉祥物) of the Games. They were really excited as most of
them first met with a giant panda in person. “They are much cuter than they are in videos,” Mario Del Basso, a water
polo athlete from Italy, said to China Daily. To attract the attention of the giant pandas, many athletes also made an
effort to learn how to say “come here” in the local Sichuan dialect (方言).
Chinese and foreign athletes also made good friends during the Games. During the mixed team event in a men’s
doubles match, Chinese athlete Tan Qiang beat Brazilian badminton player Welton Menezes easily. But the image of

his own pair of new shoes to Menezes. “I am very grateful for Tan’s help,” Menezes said. “It’s a great pair of shoes
and I love it. After I go back to Brazil, I will also wear the shoes for training.”

Music is not just for fun, it can also help us feel better when we’re in pain. A study showed that listening to
favorite songs can make the pain less. The most helpful songs were the sad ones that talk about mixed feelings and
powerful experiences.
In the study, 63 young adults were asked to bring their two favorite songs. The researchers also gave them
seven calm songs to choose from. These 63 adults had to look at a screen for 7 minutes while listening to their
favorite songs, one of the calm songs, or a mix of their favorite songs and the calm song they picked. For another 7
minutes, they just sat in silence. During this time, the researchers stuck a hot object to the young adults’ left arms—
similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on your skin.
After talking about the songs and rating (评估) their pain, the researchers found that people felt less pain when
they listened to their favorite songs compared to when they heard the calm song or nothing at all. And people who
listened to sad songs felt less pain than those who listened to happy songs.

This study tells us that music, especially the songs we love, can be a good way to deal with pain. It also
suggests that sad songs may work better than happy songs at making pain less.
The study’s results are important for hospitals and doctors. They could use music to help patients feel better,
especially before or after surgeries (外科手术). But scientists need to do more research to understand exactly how
music helps with pain. They could study different kinds of music to see what works best. They could also look at
whether music helps with different types of pain, like headaches or sore muscles (肌肉). If music really works to
make people feel better, it could be a simple and safe way to help patients without medicine.
1. What did the study find about music and pain?
2. What kind of songs worked best at making pain less in the study?
3. Why did the researchers stick a hot object to the adults’ arms?
4. 从文中找出与They could look at different types of music to find out which kind helps the most with pain.意思
