We may have an interview for our volunteer work. And the following suggestions will help make the
interview a success.
We should do some research on the volunteer work. We can call the organization or visit its website to find
out some information about it. It’s also important for us to think about what questions the interviewers may ask. It
will help us to keep the interview going smoothly.
When leaving for the interview, we must remember to take everything we need. And we’re supposed to be at
the interview about 30 minutes early. It allows us to get ready for the interview.
Before we go into the interview room, we can take a deep breath to relax ourselves. When we hear someone
ask us to go inside, we can enter the room. We should greet the interviewers with a smile and stand until they ask us
to sit down.
In answering questions, we had better be confident to show our talent and skills. It’s important to look into
the interviewers’ eyes even if we are very nervous and shy. If we can’t understand the interviewers’ questions, it’s
OK to ask the interviewers to explain them further.
Before the interview is over, the interviewers usually invite us to ask some questions. We can ask a question
about the work or the interview. For example, “What kind of training do you offer to volunteers?” We are supposed
to thank the interviewers before we leave.
With these suggestions, we will have a good chance of getting volunteer work.
1．How can we do research on the volunteer work?

Earthquakes may happen in some areas every year. How can we save ourselves when an earthquake
happens? Remember the following advice that can keep you safe.
Leave quickly. Leave the building quickly when the ground stops shaking. Don’t use a lift. It may be very
dangerous. You should be careful and try not to fall down when you go downstairs. Accidents may happen when
many people rush into a crowded stair. Remember to run to the ground away from street lights or power lines.
Find a safe place. If you can’t leave in time, you should hide yourselves under a table and stay away from
windows. If you are in a bus or car, stay in it. If you are in the mountains, be careful of falling rocks.
Value lives. Some people care about the things that are valuable. You will lose the best opportunity to run
away. Anything is less valuable than your lives.

Have you ever wondered whether bamboo is a tree or a kind of grass? It is a kind of grass in the science of
plant. Bamboo is really a wonder of nature. This fast-growing plant can be seen everywhere and is widely used.
Bamboo has got many advantages, leading to its common uses for thousands of years. Bamboo is often used
to produce daily products, such as chairs, beds and tables. What’s more, bamboo can be made into a kind of
3关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
material for clothes. Bamboo can even be used as an excellent building material because it grows fast and it is
strong.
Bamboo is easy to decay (腐烂), so people have to add chemicals to make bamboo-based materials (竹基材
料) stay for a long time. But these chemicals are bad for the environment. Chinese scientists have kept improving
technologies to deal with this disadvantage. Here is a good example. In 2016, a Chinese research team in Nanjing
began to work on new bamboo technologies. Later, the team succeeded in developing a new bamboo technology.
The new technology is a heat treatment. This treatment moves decay-causing matters out of bamboo without
adding chemicals that are harmful to the environment. At the same time, the structure (结构) of bamboo is well
kept. As a result, new bamboo-based materials were produced and chosen as an excellent building material to build
the scenic platforms (观景平台) of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge — the world’s largest sea-cross bridge.
Since the new bamboo-based materials were used on the platforms, they have stood sunlight, seawater and even the
natural disasters. Now, the scenic platforms still remain as strong as ever.
根据语篇内容，按要求回答问题。
16．What is bamboo in the science of plant?
17．Why can bamboo be used as an excellent building material?
18．When did the Chinese research team in Nanjing begin to work on new bamboo technologies?

I was walking along a busy road when I noticed a young man standing near the crossing selling toys. Usually
I would hurry past such sellers. But I found this young man was blind. I wanted to see how he sold his things, so I
stood for some time without crossing the street.
Soon, a young mother with a little girl came by and the child set her eyes on one of the teddy bears. The
mother asked about the price and it was only one dollar. She pulled out a 10-dollar note from her handbag and told

the young man that she was giving him 10 dollars and wanted the change (零钱) back. I was wondering how he
was going to do it. He told the young mother to put the money in the bag hanging around his neck and take out her
change herself.
I realized that this young man believed people would not cheat him. There was no way for him to know
whether someone would take out more than they should have. As a 30-year-old man, I was deeply moved. I bought
a model car from him that I didn’t need. As I walked down the street, I gave the model car to a kid walking with his
father.
I kept thinking that the world would be a better place if we could all learn to trust each other more, like the
young blind street seller.

When I spent the summer with my grandmother, she sent me to the store with a list. Behind the counter (柜
台) was a lady, Miss White.
“Excuse me,” I said, she looked up. “I need to get these,” I continued, holding my list.
“So? Go and get them,” Miss White pointed to a sign. “There is no one here but you and me, and I’m not
your servant, so get yourself a basket over there.”
I went shopping twice a week that summer. Sometimes she shortchanged (少找零) me. Other times she
overcharged (多收钱). Going to the store was like getting into a fight. But by the end of the summer, I could finish
the one-hour shopping trip in around 15 minutes. On the morning when I was to return home, I stopped to buy
some water.
“All right,” she said. “What did you learn this summer?” “That you’re mean (刻薄的)!” I replied.

Fashion trends (趋势) are around us, and can be exciting. A trend used to happen in a 20-year cycle, but the
7关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
latest development of the Internet and clothing business has increasingly cut the length of the cycle short. Now, it
seems there comes a new fashion trend every couple of months, but it still follows the same stages:
●A trend is usually first brought in during a big fashion show. Reporters, writers, and some other important
people collect what they have learned in the show and predict a trend in the near future.
●Then the trend is talked about online and finally worn by famous people to make it better accepted, which
leads to the rise of the trend.
●Once the trend becomes popular, it will go to the public soon. Large clothing companies and shops begin
following the trend so that everyone can get their hands on it. This is when the trend gets to the highest point.
●After that, the trend usually falls and becomes out of date. However, this is not always the end, as trends
happen in broader cycles and most get popular again.
Trends can be a great way to try something new and test your style. A survey says some people enjoy
following trends because they keep fashion exciting and provide fresh ideas. However, others may not think so,
especially when a trend doesn’t agree with how they feel about themselves. Trends can be fun, but sometimes prove
a waste of money because many simply see trends as brands (品牌). So, should we follow fashion trends?
Clearly, there’s no right answer whether to follow trends or not depends on how they go with your values,
spending, and sense of self. It does not hurt to watch trend reports but never choose to follow them unless you
really think they fit with your personal style.
36．How long does a new fashion trend last now?
37．Who usually first realizes a new fashion trend?
38．Which situation means the trend has reached the highest point?
39．Why do some people dislike following trends according to the survey?
40．Do you prefer brands when buying clothes? Why or why not?

Water is important in our life, but sometimes water can be dangerous. So we must pay attention to water
safety, especially for kids. Water safety for kids often happens at home and in the pool. Here are some suggestions.
8关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
▲Be careful of hot water. Hot water can be dangerous, especially for kids under five. Young kids have
thinner skin (皮肤) than adults, so it’s easier for them to be burnt. You can reduce the risk by testing the
temperature of the water with your wrist (腕) or elbow (肘) before placing your kid in the bath.
▲Watch out for danger in the bathroom. The bathroom is full of danger for young kids. Parents can’t leave
them alone in the bathrooms. When young kids are in the bathrooms, remember to put away all the electrical
appliances (设备) to avoid the risk.
▲Never let kids swim alone. Swimming in the pool may make kids feel great. But it is not a perfect sport
because of the risk of injury (伤害). It’s dangerous when kids stay in the pool alone because they may even drown
(溺亡). So kids should swim with their parents.
Everyone should realize the importance of water safety. To keep kids safe, we need to follow the suggestions
above.
41．Where does water safety for kids often happen? (no more than 6 words)

On April 19, the world’s first half-marathon for humanoid (人形的) robots was held in Beijing. The robots
waited beside human runners, starting from the same line.
“I saw many robots running. Some were surprisingly fast, others had very lovely designs, and their running
styles were quite different,” said Zhang Huihui, who took part in the race.
During the 21-kilometer-long race, the robots had to run on two legs. Some even wore running shoes. Each
robot was supported by a team of human guides, operators (操作员) and engineers. They could have their batteries
changed during the race. Teams could even use new robots when the old ones could no longer run.

hours and 40 minutes. “It crossed the finish line about 30 minutes earlier than expected,” said Xiong Youjun, CEO
of a robot center. “In general, all the robots today could deal with challenges such as turns and speed bumps. We
made history together.”
“Robots’ completing the race isn’t the finish line. It’s the starting point for the growth of the robot industry,”
said Liang Liang, from Yizhuang’s Administrative Committee.
Although the robots fell from time to time, the event proved that they could do real-life tasks. Liang added,
“Their small steps today will become giant leaps for human technological progress tomorrow.”

Dear friends,
Last month, we started the “Nature and Me” activity. What did you see and do during your time with nature?
And how did you feel? Please share your stories.
8:15 p. m. 31 May
I disliked hiking in the past, but now I enjoy it. My father and I had a hiking trip
on MacLehose Trail in Hong Kong. The journey was harder than I expected. My legs
started burning after just 30 minutes. But as we climbed higher, the amazing views—
green hills, golden beaches, and endless ocean—seemed under my feet. There’s an old
Chinese saying, “When you climb to the top, all other mountains seem small.” That’s
exactly how I felt. Every drop of sweat counts!
8: 17 p. m. 31 May
“I feel free and peaceful.” This was my answer to my friend when she asked me
how I felt after an afternoon walk. As we walked through the park, I noticed all those
fallen leaves with different shapes and colors lying on the ground. I picked some up and
made them into a picture.
You know what they say, “The best thing in life is free.” That’s so true. By
walking, I got good exercise. By collecting these little treasures, I started paying attention
to all the small things around me that I used to miss. It was like an escape (逃离) from
what was troubling me.

Every day, we hear sounds all around us—some soft, some loud. But do you know that loud sounds can
harm your hearing?
Sounds are measured (测量) in decibels (分贝). Look at the chart—some sounds are safe for our ears, but
when a sound goes over 85 decibels, it can be harmful to our hearing. To reduce the risk of hearing loss, we shall
pay attention to the loudness of the noise, the distance we are to it and how long we listen to it.
Noise levels can be measured by sound-level meters (噪声计), but you probably don’t always carry one with
you. So how can you tell whether noises are too loud or not? Ask yourself: Do you have to raise your voice to be
heard? Do you find it hard to hear someone about a meter away from you? Do the noises make your cars hurt or
ring for some time? If your answer is YES to any of these, that probably means the noises are too loud.
Headphones are especially tricky. Many people enjoy using them, but they often listen to loud music for too
long, or keep the volume (音量) so high that even other people can hear the noise from their headphones. These can
lead to hearing loss.
Your hearing is a gift. You need it for learning, communicating, and enjoying the world. Once your hearing
is harmed, it may never come back.
58．According to the chart, what sounds can harm your hearing?
59．How can you know if the noises are too loud? (Give 2 examples.)

My family has always had family dinners, as far as I can remember. Since I was a little boy, my mother has

food and bring it to my grandma’s house. We would wait for more family members to come before eating together
at the table, my grandma’s dinner table.
I used to feel that was a silly little tradition. But now I find it’s fantastic to get together as a family to talk
about anything and everything after a long week of school and work. Every time I sit at the dinner table, my

In his lovely piece of writing “Why Write?”, the writer Paul Auster shares a story about growing up as an
eight-year-old in New York City. He was crazy about baseball, especially the New York Giants. The only thing he
remembers about attending his first major league baseball game is that he saw his hero Willie Mays after the game.
The young Auster gathered his courage and went close to his hero. “Mr. Mays,” he said, “could I please have your
autograph (签名)?”
“Sure, kid, sure,” Mays replied kindly. “Have you got a pencil?”
Auster didn’t have a pencil on him, neither did his father or his mother or anyone else in his group.
Mays waited patiently, but when it became clear that no one present had anything to write with, he said,
“Sorry, kid. We’ve got no pencil. I can’t give you my autograph.”
From that day on, Auster made it a habit to never leave the house without a pencil in his pocket. “It’s not that
I had any special plans for that pencil,” Auster writes, “but I didn’t want to be unprepared. I had been caught
empty-handed once, and I wasn’t about to let it happen again. The years have taught me this: If there’s a pencil in
your pocket, there’s a good chance that one day you’ll feel like starting to use it. That’s how I became a writer.”
What is your pencil? What is so important that without it you feel unprepared? I know some cartoonists
always carry pen and paper and some photographers always have a camera in their pockets. They are always
prepared.
Pick your “pencil” and don’t leave home without it.

A total of 23 spotted seals (斑海豹) were put back into the waters off the coast of Dalian in Northeast
China’s Liaoning Province on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023 as part of China’s continuous efforts to protect endangered
wildlife.
The seals were hunted and sold, but have now been saved and marked for future protection. A fishery law
enforcement ship arrived at the sea area near Dalian in the morning, carrying the spotted seals. The seals were let
go free one by one into the sea. They swam freely in the water, returning to their natural home.
Spotted seals are nationally protected animals in China. They are the only kind of seals that can breed (繁殖)
in Chinese waters. Like migratory (迁徙的) birds, they appear around October every year in Liaodong Bay, and
take the long journey back to the Northwest Pacific in May after breeding. They are often considered as the “panda
of the sea”.
Thanks to China’s top-class national protection in recent years, the population of spotted seals in Chinese
waters has reached around 2,000, while the global population is between 400,000 and 600,000. Studies have shown
that these 2,000 spotted seals are of great importance for the study and research on spotted seals.
To protect this rare animal and its ecological environment, the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were
set up in 1992. In January 2002, they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. Covering
an area of 560,000 hectares with a coastline of about 370 kilometers, the wetlands are rich in biological resources.
They have become home to nationally protected animals such as the spotted seal, finless porpoise, killer whales,
false killer whales, common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and East Asian river dolphins.
Since 1992, researchers in Dalian have successfully saved 388 spotted seals and put 299 of them back into
the wild.

From September to February each year, Dazhong Mountain in Chuxiong, Yunnan is home to more than
50,000,000 migratory birds (候鸟). People used to call the mountain Daqueshan, which means bird-hunting
mountain.
The villagers used to hunt birds on the mountain. Then one year, they couldn’t hear birds singing. People
started to worry if migratory birds would return again. In 1984, the Hongtupo Forest Police Station was set up. The
officers worked on the mountain, trying to find migratory birds and stop people from hunting them. The job was
really difficult. They might lose their way or meet dangerous animals.
The officers also tried to tell villagers the importance of protecting birds and other wild animals. They
visited the villagers door to door and helped them with farm work. They even organized activities in schools to get
their messages across to children. Now, even children know that birds are to be loved.
The mountain is greener, the water is clearer, and more and more animals come to live here. It has become a
bird-protecting mountain. Many people have opened bed-and-breakfasts (民宿) for birdwatchers.
“The village has changed a lot, and we don’t hunt birds anymore,” people say. Since people have stopped
hunting, the police station now mainly works to save injured (受伤的) wildlife.

X-rays were first discovered by a German scientist, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845 –1923). He found them

quite by accident in 1895. One day, he discovered that an unknown kind of radiation (放射线) could hardly pass
through hard objects like bones (骨头). Later, Röntgen took a photo of his wife’s hand. It clearly showed her ring
and her bones. That was the first X-ray photo in the world.
Why is there an “X” in the word X-ray? It’s because Röntgen couldn’t explain exactly how it worked. He
just knew that X-rays were new and useful for science. In fact, X-rays soon became an important tool in medicine.
With the help of X-rays, doctors could see inside the human body for the first time without surgery (外科手术).
Röntgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize (诺贝尔奖) in physics in 1901 for his discovery. When he was
asked what he was thinking at the moment of discovery, he replied, “I didn’t think, I investigated (研究).” Röntgen
gave away his Nobel Prize money to his university. And he never took out any patents (专利权) on X-rays, to make

In 223 BC Meng Tian (蒙恬) led the army in a war against the Chu Kingdom. In those days, people wrote on
silk with a kind of stick pen. The stick pen was very hard and made writing very slow. Meng Tian had to often write
a great number of reports about battlefield situation to the Qin ruler. He was frustrated (沮丧的) with the difficulty
of writing, so he decided to make improvements.
Between battles, Meng enjoyed hunting. One day, Meng hunted a wild rabbit. It was fat and heavy and its
tail left a trail (痕迹) on the ground. Meng suddenly had an idea. He immediately tied the rabbit’s tail to a stick and
tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too oily (多油的) to hold the ink. Meng felt very sad and threw his

Chinese calligraphy is an important part of traditional Chinese culture. Calligraphy started in China and
spread to other parts of Asia with Chinese culture. It has a history of 4,000 to 5,000 years. Calligraphy is the art of
writing Chinese characters (汉字) and rules of writing with a brush. When you practice calligraphy, it is important
to pay attention to the changes of the strokes (笔画) and the spaces between characters.
There are many famous calligraphers in history, such as Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing. Different
calligraphy works can show different calligraphers’ feelings and personalities. Today, they can be seen on the walls
of offices, shops, hotels and many other places.
“If I live in China, I will become a calligrapher rather than a painter for sure,” the world-famous master of
art, Picasso said. He fell in love with Chinese calligraphy as soon as he saw Zhang Daqian’s works.
The tool for practicing calligraphy is calligraphy brushes. They are usually made from the hair of different
animals. Practicing calligraphy takes a lot of time and many people take lessons to learn it. During the lessons, they
can learn how to write different strokes of Chinese characters. If you’re interested in it, you may start practicing
with a teacher right away.
Calligraphy, an amazing traditional art form, shows the love that all Chinese people have for culture and
beauty. Chinese people of all ages practice calligraphy often, not to be a calligrapher, but to enjoy the peaceful
mind.

Recently, I started to use an app to keep a record of my running. Each run I wanted to go a little farther, run a
little faster and burn more calories (卡路里). Last night I finished an 8.3-km run in 46 minutes and burnt 468
calories. In comparison, my run two days ago was 8.6 km in 46 minutes with 483 calories burnt. This inner self-
comparison left me feeling disappointed. I became so focused (专注的) on the numbers that I forgot to consider

These tiny differences in numbers kept me away from the bigger picture: how did I actually feel after

We should exercise for the purpose of building our confidence. And working out harder and faster may serve
that purpose. But confidence building comes with being able to do more in our day-to-day life, experiencing less
pain and more freedom in movement, and feeling good after a workout. Fitness should help us with our quality (质
量) of life, the ability to sleep, good memory, among other things. Fitness should not just come with the eagerness
for the success in numbers.
In our busy lives, we only have limited time for fitness. When we do physical exercise, we should value
what feels good over what looks or sounds good. Sometimes what serves us and our health is coming home and
doing a light workout, like going on a short bike ride. Sometimes what serves us is simply going to sleep at 9:30
p.m. instead of forcing ourselves into a workout. Apps of this kind are a great way for us to keep an eye on our
health. But don’t read into the numbers to the point where you lose out on feeling proud that you are taking care of
yourself. So my advice is: when you do physical exercise, make sure you feel good about yourself over feeling

Rabbit is the fourth of the 12 Chinese zodiac(parts, in the order of Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake,
Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig). It is the Year of the Rabbit this year. Because rabbits are gentle and
smart, they are very popular with people from all over the world.
In China, rabbits are considered to be a lucky sign. That’s because rabbits can have many babies in the nature,
even in terrible conditions. In the past, people thought the more children they had, the better their life would be.
The rabbit can make people think of the moon. Ancient Chinese people believed a rabbit was living on the
moon. It is called the Moon Rabbit and helps Chang’e, a goddess who is widely known in China, to make
medicine.
Similarly, rabbits are seen to be lucky in Western culture. There are some traditions about how to get the
rabbit’s good luck for yourself. For example, a rabbit’s foot is one of the most famous symbols of good luck and the
person who holds it is supposed to be lucky. Also, people usually say the word “rabbit” on the first morning of
every month. They’re looking forward to bringing themselves good luck for this whole month.
Now it’s the Year of the Rabbit. Hope you are always lucky this year!
11．Will it be the Year of the Rabbit in 2033?
12．Why are rabbits seen as lucky animals in China?
13．In Chinese ancient folk stories, what did Chang’e and the Moon Rabbit do on the moon?

My 100 Days Without a Mobile Phone
When was the last time you left home without your mobile phone? Can you imagine yourself living a month,
or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time?
As a busy modern person with lots of social connections, plans and responsibilities, I just cannot afford to not
be in touch with the rest of the world. Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However,
sometimes it can be bothersome (恼人的).
One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notifications (通知) off. But the fear of missing
out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So, I simply stopped using my phone.
Well, to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, I had a big fear that all of my friends
would soon forget about me. When I had a free moment, I had no idea what to get myself distracted (分心的) with,
and the worries mixed with boredom kept bothering me.
However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes — changes which I liked, and
which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to reorganize some of my habits.
First of all, I noticed that I became much more focused (专注的). Before, while doing something, I would
often find myself wondering what was going on online. After a month of staying away from my mobile phone, I
found that the urge (冲动) was already not that strong and that my ability to focus improved.
I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before, I would look at it through my camera mostly: take a
photo, post it, get some likes. Now, I saw beautiful people walking around and I sensed the seasons change. I could
understand the actual beauty of the world, and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through
likes or shares.
Now, as 100 days have passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it. I am planning to stay away from my
phone for as long as possible.

阅读下面短文，简略回答所提出的问题。
Zengzi, also called Zeng Shen, became a good student of Confucius（孔子）when he was 16.
Early one morning, Zengzi’s wife left for the market. Her little son wanted to go with her. But he was too
young and the market was too far.
Then she cheated（欺骗）her son and said, “I will soon be back. You stay at home and wait for me. If you do
as I say, I will kill a pig and make a nice dish for you.” The child went back to the house happily.
When Zengzi’s wife got back from the market, she showed no sign of killing a pig. So Zengzi himself
prepared to do that, but his wife rushed to stop him and said, “Don’t do that. I just cheated the child.”
“Honesty（诚实）is the most important thing,” Zengzi said. “Children are like blank（空白的）pieces of
paper. They understand nothing but they can learn from their parents’ actions. Because you have cheated your son,
he won’t trust you anymore. In the future he will cheat others.”
Hearing her husband’s words, Zengzi’s wife regretted cheating the child. So she wanted to keep her word. She
joined Zengzi in killing the pig, and cooked nice dishes for the child. While eating, the boy was happy and thankful
to his parents.
One evening, when the child went to bed, he suddenly got up and ran outside. Zengzi asked him where he was
going. The boy replied, “I promised I was going to return a toy to a friend today. But I forgot, so I am going to
return it now.” The couple exchanged（交换）satisfied smiles, and waited until the boy came back.

A king once offered a prize. Anyone could get it if he painted the best picture of peace. Many famous artists
tried. The king looked at all the pictures and among them there were only two he really liked. But he had to choose
between them.
The first picture was of a quiet lake. Around the lake were peaceful mountains. Above them was a blue sky
with white clouds. Everyone seeing this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.
The second picture had mountains too. But few trees could be seen. Above them was a dark, angry sky. A
heavy rainstorm was happening. Down the side of the mountain ran a powerful waterfall. It did not look peaceful at
all. However, the king felt it was special. At midnight, the king looked carefully at the second picture again.
Suddenly, he found behind the waterfall a small tree growing between two rocks. A mother bird built her home in
the tree. There, in the middle of all the noise of rushing water and frightening skies, that mother bird sat in perfect
peace.
Which picture do you think the king chose? The king chose the second picture because he thought it better
expressed peace. “Peace does not mean you must be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or pain. The real
meaning of peace is to be right in the middle of all those difficult experiences, and still be calm and sure of yourself
in your heart,” said the king.

Using live streaming is popular among the people aged 18 to 35. Even the teachers give lessons by live

virtual（虚拟的）gifts such as flowers, toys and cars for them online. The most recent famous example was the
Olympic swimmer Fu Yuanhui. She did one-hour live streaming which reached more than 11 million viewers.

treasures of the study.
In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts,
and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher.
On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in the First Writing Ceremony.
Before that, children would kowtow(叩头) to the statue of Confucius(孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3
times to show their deep respect(尊敬). During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’
forehead(前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would also ring a certain bell to start a new term.
After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very
important ceremony for every student.
Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius,
and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future
Imperial Examination(科举考试) .
Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on
traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they
take a step in the lifelong journey of learning.

One day, a group of tourists from Australia climbed a large rock in the Central Park of New York City. They
took pictures of one another with the high-rise buildings in the background. Like many other tourists, they didn’t
realize that high in a nearby tree, there was something more worthy of attention: an eagle-owl (雕鸮) named Flaco.
Earlier that month, the bird Flaco made his great escape (逃跑) from the Central Park Zoo. The zookeepers
then tried several times to catch him but were unsuccessful. He seemed to be in no hurry to return to the zoo.
Olga Torrey, a photographer, has been photographing animals in city parks for 12 years. Since Flaco escaped,
Torrey has kept a close eye on him. She wondered if he would ever return to the zoo. “Once he gets a taste of
freedom, I’m not sure...” she said.
Still, each day spent outside puts Flaco in danger. He might accidentally hit windows and get injured (受伤)
while flying. Moreover, the eagle-owl lived his whole life in the zoo in the past. He may not be used to finding food
on his own. And if he made a meal of a rat (耗子), it might harm his health—the rat might contain poison (含有毒

About 2300 years ago, the area around Chengdu had bad floods (洪水) in spring every year. Flood water from
the mountains flowed (流动) down the Minjiang River and covered the land. Luckily, the Qin governor (太守), Li
Bing, was a water engineer. The king of Qin provided the money and asked the governor to solve the problem.
The usual method to avoid flooding is to build a wall across the river, called a dam. Special openings in the
dam allow the flow of water to be controlled. However, the king had also asked Li Bing to make sure that ships
could still use the river. This was necessary because the king needed to send food to his army. So Li Bing studied
the situation and came up with a plan—a plan that still works today!
Helped by his son, and tens of thousands of workers from the area, Li Bing built a man-made island in the
middle of the river. This island was shaped like a fish and it divided the water into an inner and an outer river. The
inner river was deeper than but not as wide as the outer river. It took four years to build the island.
Li Bing also cut a new channel (运河) through Mount Yulei. This channel would take water away to irrigate
(灌溉) the land in the flat farmland below. The rock of the mountain was very hard and difficult to cut. Li Bing
used fire to heat the rock and then water to cool it quickly. This made the rock break into smaller pieces which
could be carried away more easily. Cutting the channel took eight years!
After Li Bing’s work was finished, there were no more floods, and the Dujiangyan irrigation system (灌溉系
统) allowed the farmers to grow more and more food. The river flowed naturally, and because there was no dam,
ships and fish could pass freely. Sichuan became the most productive area in China, as it still is today. Today,
scientists and visitors from all over the world come to look at this wonderful example of engineering. This work
and the name of Li Bing live on.

Zhang Chao from Anhui Province is one young “city farmer”. The senior high school student said his love for
planting was formed in primary school, when he lived with his grandpa in the countryside. He learned to grow
vegetables from his grandpa, who has been a farmer for life. Though farming takes hard work, Zhang said he felt
excited when he saw seeds turn into plants.
Now Zhang still keeps up his hobby with a balcony garden. He grows strawberries and carrots. “Growing
fruits and vegetables not only brings delicious food, but it also reminds me of the happy times with my grandpa.”
said Zhang.
Unlike Zhang, Fang Minke from Shenzhen thinks that planting a garden is a good way to relax and develop
patience.
The 16-year-old girl sometimes felt stressed. To deal with this, she started planting vegetables on her balcony
in 2021. Most of the seeds were given to her by friends. Not knowing what plants the seeds were from, she just
planted them and waited patiently. After half a year, her balcony became a small garden.
Every day it takes her long hours to do homework. Then she likes to walk around her balcony garden. “Seeing
different colors and breathing fresh air, I feel closer to nature.” Fang said.
Planting vegetables is now more than just away to live. It also brings joy to the lives of the young.

You may know about “junk food” like French fries. But do you know about “junk sleep”?
A British survey shows that there are many electronic products in teenagers’ bedrooms. They are influencing
teenagers’ sleep badly.
47关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
The survey was done among 1,000 British kids from 12 to 16. It is found that 50% of them got just 4 to 7
hours’ sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours.
Almost 25% of the kids said they often fell asleep while they were watching TV, listening to music or using
other electronic products.
“This is very worrying,” said Dr. Chris, a British professor (教授), “We call it ‘junk sleep’. It means you don’t
get enough sleep and the quality (质量) of the sleep is low, too.” The survey found that quite a few of the kids felt
tired each day because of the junk sleep, especially girls between 13 and 16. Nearly all the teenagers have a phone,
music player or TV in their bedrooms. And lots of them even have all the three.
Dr. Chris suggested that parents should help their children keep away from electronic products, and that
teenagers should spend less time on the electronic products.
99．How many of the 1, 000 British kids from 12 to 16 get only 4 to 7 hours’ sleep a day in the survey?
100．According to the passage, what were 25% of the kids doing when they fell asleep?
101．What does “junk sleep” mean in the passage?
102．In Dr. Chris’ opinion, what should teenagers do?

After arriving there, she learned that because of the poor educational conditions, many local parents had sent
their children to schools further away. Cheng tried her best to encourage seventeen students to return. She called
upon her college classmates to offer a helping hand. To make the students’ life more colorful, Cheng learned music,

①A Teacher’s DiaryApril 14
I put Sharla, Tony, and Lee together to make a volcano(火山). I knew they weren’t good friends, and I
encouraged all my students to learn to work together.
Something blew up! One looked mad, one looked sad, and one was nearly in tears. They didn’t agree with
each other. Oh, dear!
I calmed them down. But they couldn’t agree on even the base for the volcano, and Tony didn’t want to touch
the paste(浆糊).
I wondered if I had made a big mistake. Maybe this was one group who couldn’t work together.

I was making my side smooth. Tony just watched (unfair). I told Lee to smooth out her side, too. “No, Sharla,
it should look like a real mountain,” she said just as if she were the boss. The whole thing went downhill. The day
ended with no progress.

“Is there a problem?” Mrs. Holt knew well there was a problem. She wanted them to put it in their own words,

“Well, I think the volcano should be smooth.” Sharla began.
“And,” jumped in Lee, “it should look rocky, like a real mountain.”
“I see. What do you think, Tony?” Mrs. Holt waited.
“Well, I think it would have lava(岩浆) running down.”
“Hey, a great idea!” cut in Sharla, “The lava would be smooth. Right Mrs. Holt?”
Sharla continued. “The other side without lava would look rocky. Right?”
Tony caught on. “So one side can be smooth, and the other rocky. Come on, you guys, let’s go finish!”

Project-based learning（项目化学习）is learning while doing. It gives learners the chance to get a deeper
understanding of a topic. During the learning, learners solve problems by using real-world examples and
challenges. Project-based learning is becoming widely used in schools. Students work on a project over a period of
time—from a week to a term. At the end of the project, they show their knowledge and skills by creating a product
for people. Let’s take the example of Sandra.
Sandra is an eleven-year-old student in Sunshine Primary School. She wanted to know more about Greek

From the example of Sandra, we can see that project-based learning allows a student to learn about a topic and
then create a project based on his or her talents and skills. Not everyone is a great test taker, but everyone is good at

Days pass by, it seems that daily life will become boring if nothing unexpected happens in our lives. The sense
of ceremony (仪式感) from special days keeps our feelings fresh and increases expectations of life.
Mrs Li has two children. Li Xin is her 15-year-old daughter. Li Lei is Li Xin’s brother. He’s older than Li Xin.
A new semester (学期) should begin with a sense of ceremony. On the first day of new term, Li Xin sat in
front of the TV and watched the First Class, an educational program of CCTV. The First Class encouraged her to
study hard and be a useful person.
Another exciting thing to bring her the sense of ceremony is flag-raising ceremony. On Monday morning,
students were dressed in school uniforms and stood in a neat (整齐) line on the playground quietly. While Li Xin
was singing along with the national anthem (国歌) and watching the rising flag, the sense of national pride and love
for the country came into her heart.
Li Xin will leave junior high school this year. She expects the moving moment of graduation ceremony. She
will never forget the important people in her life who helped and supported her—her parents, her teachers and her
friends. She will consider what they’ve done for her and hope that they will be proud of her in the future.
As for Li Lei, he can’t wait to grow up, as he can make his own decisions. He always asks a question, “At
what age do I really become an adult?” In China, the 18th birthday is a very important event for young people
because they can vote (投票) and learn to drive a car, so Mrs Li regards Li Lei’s birthday as a most important
event. She will have a big birthday party for her son. Li Lei realizes no matter how old he is, becoming an adult is
really about learning how to be independent and responsible.
Every moment to record a meaningful event brings a sense of ceremony and makes our lives colorful.

Like many other foreigners, Rosalind Oliver’s first touch of Chinese Tai Chi came from popular kung fu
movies. However, she has become a Tai Chi master herself, teaching it to both Chinese and foreigners.
Oliver’s journey with Tai Chi began in her early 20s, when her backache was always troubling her and she was
turning to an exercise. Then she discovered advertisment classes about Tai Chi by accident and decided to try the
“mysterious” eastern sport. Right away Oliver fell in love with the beautiful movement of Tai Chi. To her joy, she
found that her back pains disappeared after years of practice.
Oliver later met her late husband, who was also her Tai Chi teacher. In the early 1990s, the couple opened their
own Tai Chi school in the UK. To further understand Tai Chi, they decided to start a journey to China. However,
three years after moving to Shanghai in 2000, her husband died, leaving her alone to work on Tai Chi.
The 58-year-old British woman recalled that it was a hard time for her. However, she was thankful to Chinese
friends in Shanghai who supported her through the painful process. “They didn't treat me like a foreigner, but rather
like a friend.” Oliver said.
In 2005, Oliver set up the Double Dragon Alliance Cultural Center, which acts as a bridge for foreign people
to get a better understanding of Chinese culture such as traditional Chinese medicine and Peking Opera.
Besides her Tai Chi classes, Oliver now teaches English at Shanghai University. Oliver expressed her deep
love for cultural exchange and hoped to spread her work in this area.

Artist shapes a bit of Chinese culture
Over the past three years, Kang Jian has created more than 400 dough sculptures (面塑) and become a city-
inheritor (继承人) of the dough sculpture in Mohe, Heilongjiang province.
Kang has shown an interest in art, especially dough sculpture since he was a child. Every time his parents
made dumplings, he would ask for a small piece of dough to make animals — a rabbit, a fish or a small. Those
small dough animals brought him lots of good childhood memories. However, Kang didn’t learn art in college. His
family was poor and his parents were not able to afford his art education. Kang left college in 2016 and worked in
the Mohe Forestry Bureau.
Then in 2018, during a visit to a museum in Beijing, Kang learned something about dough sculpting. Then he
had the idea of taking his childhood interest up. He visited some famous artists and learned to make dough
sculptures from them. His skills were improved a lot.
As a fan of Chinese literature, Kang would like to make dough sculptures of Chitese heroes, such as Sun
Wukong and Guan Yu. In April 2022, he even finished the dough sculptures of 108 heroes from the novel Outlaws
of the Marah after 16 months of work.
When Kang is free, he is invited to give classes at schools to teach students to make dough sculptures. He is
happy to have a chance to tell young people about dough sculptures and stories about Chinese folk heroes. He
expects more young people to take up this traditional art form.

a hole in the bottom of the kettle. The fire had gone out.
“Never mind,” laughed Mother. “We can boil some water in a pan. And I’ve found the dinner.”
She led them into the kitchen and pointed to a door.
“Last night, I thought this was a cupboard. It was so dark. But look,” she said.
Mother opened the door and the children saw a little room with a table in the middle. On it there was roast
beef, bread and butter, cheese and an apple pie.
“Apple pie for breakfast,” cried Peter. “What fun!”
It was a wonderful breakfast. Everyone was very hungry.
“It feels like dinner because we were up so early,” said Peter, as he passed his plate for more apple pie.
When the children had finished, they helped Mother put everything away in the right place.
Then Mother said, “I’m tired. I’m going to lie down for a while. Go out to play but please be careful.”
Roberta, Peter and Phyllis looked at each other. They were all thinking the same thing.

school students are required to take the Practical Activity Class (实践活动课) at least one class hour every week.
The topic of cooking was discussed mostly by parents and students. Learning practical skills plays an important
role in shaping a person’s character for sure.
Some schools and students have already practiced their practical activities. Gu Quan, 13 years old, from No.18
Middle School, used to be a lazy boy. In his own words, he hardly ever did any housework. But things have
changed since No.18 Middle School made housework part of its students’ homework. Doing the dishes, cooking
and making the bed... All of these tasks have become part of Gu Quan’s daily life.
At the beginning of each month, every student gets a list of housework to do every weekend. Their parents
help them keep a record of their performance. The tasks are common and simple in daily life, such as sweeping the
floor, washing cups and cooking food. On holidays like Mother’s Day, students should prepare presents for their
mothers. Huang Yixi, 14, has learned several life kills, including cooking. “I used to be afraid of fire,” she said. But
she managed to overcome her fear and complete her cooking tasks. At the same time, she also learned how tired her
mother gets after doing housework every day. On Mother’s Day, she made a cake for her mother to show her
thanks. “I’ve begun to better understand my parents and want to help them more,” she said.

A young man was on a train. As the train turned a corner, it slowed down and then a simple house appeared.
The house looked so different from the grey building of the city that everybody on the train turned to look at it.
Some passengers began to talk about it.
The young man was also interested in the house. He decided to get off at the next station and make his way to
the house. The owner of the house said that he was trying to sell the house, but no one would buy it, as the noise of
the trains passing nearby made it uncomfortable to live in.
The young man decided to buy the house at once for $30,000. He used it for advertising（做广告）, as the
house faced the railway turning. The train had to slow down at the turning, giving the passengers plenty of time to
look at the house.
The young man went to meet several businessmen and explained the advantages of placing advertisements on
the side of the house. Finally, one businessman agreed to place some ads. The young man was paid $180,000 for
three years of advertising.
In this world, turning disadvantages into advantages is the key to success.

根据短文内容，回答文后所给出的问题，并将答案填写在答题卡相应的位置上。
Xu Xiake was an explorer of the late Ming Dynasty who travelled huge mountains and deep valleys in China.
He was one of the greatest explorers in Chinese history.
Xu’s travels were totally up to him and done on his own. He travelled so that his feet could feel strong winds
beat his body; he travelled so that his feet could kiss the soil of the mountains.
After his death, Xu left behind his famous book, Xu Xiake’s Travels, which provides meaningful materials to
the Chinese geological research. It included a record of what he saw, heard and thought about during his travels and
was a personal diary that was not published during his lifetime. It was said that Xu was a filial (孝顺的) son and
the beginning purpose of his travel diary was to allow his mother to travel the world through his eyes at home. He
followed the ancient teaching that says, “When one’s parents are alive, one must not travel to far places.” For this
reason, when his mother was still alive, he mainly travelled the southeast half of the country and would not leave
home for too long.
The most important part of his travels was his ten-thousand-mile journey to the southwest. He travelled from
Zhejiang to Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, then Guizhou, and Yunnan. This journey took him four years and he wrote
about ten times more than he did in the past. In the morning, he would be climbing the mountains and crossing
rivers. At night, he would lay out a piece of paper and record his daily experiences beside an oil lamp.
Xu lived his life travelling mountains and rivers all day long. He was an outstanding person in history. In fact,
Xu who lived 400 years ago was more like today’s backpackers-very cool!
