Body language is a key part of communication. It can show us a lot about what people are thinking or feeling, even if no words are said.
In a classroom body language can tell a lot. For example, when a teacher asks a question, some students may sit up straight, look at the teacher right away, and put up their hands fast. These students are showing they really want to answer. On the other hand, some students might sit lazily in their seats, not look at the teacher’s eyes, and keep their hands down. They may be feeling uncertain or not interested.
Moreover, body language is also very important in social settings. At a party, if someone stands with their arms folded, they may seem unfriendly. But if they are smiling and their arms are loose at their sides, they are probably more ready to talk.
Surprisingly, body language can even influence how we feel about ourselves. Studies show that standing tall, with your chest out and shoulders back, can make you feel more confident. So, watch your body language and use it to help you.

On October 1, 1949, China’s People’s Republic was founded. Before this day, Ms. Du Lan, head of Hou Kong Middle School, wanted a national flag. It was hard to get one, so she made her own with red and yellow cloth. On October 1, she brought this flag and a radio to school. When the national anthem (国歌) played, they raised the flag. It was the first flag raised in Macao that day.
The Portuguese officials were angry and asked why she did this. Du Lan said, “I’m Chinese, and Macao is part of China. We should fly our flag.” They let the flag stay for one day, but Du Lan and her students kept it flying for three days.
Since then, every Monday, Hou Kong Middle School has a flag-raising and sing “March of the Volunteers.” On December 20, 1999, when Macao returned to China, Du Lan, at 87, led the flag-raising again. The school’s headteacher still joins students in this tradition, showing their love for China.
This flag is special, holding many good memories of Macao.

Most people can’t remember their baby days, but some say they can. American scientists wanted to know why we forget those early times. They studied if babies can make memories. A researcher said, “Baby brains can make memories, but we’ re still finding out how long these memories last.”
Scientists used special brain scanners (扫描仪) to look at a part of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体). This part is like a memory store. They found that two-month-old babies can recognize things like faces, voices, and daily habits. For example, if a baby hears a lullaby every night, their brain will start to remember that song.
But babies probably can’t remember whole events, like “the day we went to the zoo.” That’s because the hippocampus needs time to get stronger. Think of it like building muscles. You can’t lift heavy things until your muscles grow. Before that, babies only store small pieces of information, not full stories.
So, next time you see a baby smile at a familiar face, they might be making a little memory. Even though they won’t remember it when they grow up, their brain is busy storing these early experiences. Scientists are still learning how these first memories change us as we grow.
13 What did American scientists want to know
A. Why babies often cry at midnight B. When babies begin to learn to walk.
C. Whether babies can form memories. D. How babies choose their favorite toys.
14. What is the hippocampus like
A. A film that helps babies record sounds. B. A camera that helps babies take photos.
C. A shop that helps babies store memories. D. A tool that helps babies move their hands.
15. Babies can remember more if ________.
A. their hippocampus gets stronger B. they are able to get enough sleep
C. they hear the same story every night D. their muscles develop more quickly
16. What does the word “still” imply (暗示) in the last sentence
A. Scientists have stopped studying this completely.
B. The research on babies’ memories is continuing.
C. It is easy for scientists to learn about first memories.
D. Many memories from baby days will disappear forever.

Should Traditions Be Preserved
Dear classmates,
Traditional customs and culture are facing challenges from modern society. However, I believe traditions should be preserved.
First, traditions are the carriers of our history and culture. They remind us of where we came from and who we are. For example, the Spring Festival symbolizes family reunion in Chinese culture. Without traditions, we would lose our unique identity.
Second, traditions are living legacies passed down from generation to generation. They create emotional bonds between people, whether they’re young or old. Take the Mid-Autumn Festival as an example. Families gather to admire the moon and share mooncakes, strengthening their ties.
Third, traditions can be a source of inspiration for the future. Many contemporary artists draw from traditional art forms to create something new. For instance, the Chinese ink wash animation film “Ma Liang and the Magic Brush” was influenced by traditional paintings.
In conclusion, traditions are treasures that deserve to be cherished. By embracing them, we can build a bridge between our culture’s past and future.
Thank you!
Yours,
Li Hui
