Joss Naylor is a sheep farmer from the Lake District. Among most people, his name means little, but in certain circles, he is known as one of the finest mountain runners to have ever lived.
Joss lives and breathes mountains. He has lived and farmed all his life in an area of the Lake District which has many mountains, including the tallest mountain in England. Joss has an almost superhuman ability to run at speed over mountains. However, he wasn’t always a mountain runner. As a young man, he was advised to give up farming because of serious back problems. But, when he was 24, he was tired of being told to take it easy.
Nothing can stop a good man from being better! He continued working and took up running. When he ran his first mountain race, he discovered that he fell in love with it. All his time spent herding (放牧) sheep on the mountains had prepared him for this.
His achievements are nothing short of famous. For example, he smashed his own record and set a new one. At the age of 49, he ran up 214 mountains. “It is a wonderful experience though the practice is very hard,” he said. Many of his runs have raised money for charity, and he is popular in the community.
He keeps writing and sharing his experiences about his climb. “I want people back home—especially family and friends who support me—to get a real feel for what it’s like,” he said.

(Mr. Wormwood sells stolen cars and tries to get more money by cheating others. Matilda, a book lover, hates that.)
Scene One
One morning, just when Mr. Wormwood was setting off to cheat others again, Matilda walked into his room quietly to get the hat he wore each day to work. She was too short and had to get it with a walking-stick.
Holding the hat in one hand and a bottle of superglue in the other, Matilda put some glue very carefully all round the inside rim (边) of the hat. Then she carefully put the hat back.
Scene Two
That evening, when Mr. Wormwood got home, he cried, “I can’t take my hat off and I have to keep it all day!”
“Don’t be silly,” his wife said. “Come here. I’ll take it off for you.”
“Ow-w-w! Don’t do that! Let go! You’ve nearly killed me!” he shouted.
“What’s the matter ” Matilda was standing at the door with a book in her hand.
Mr. Wormwood looked at her doubtfully, but said nothing.
“It must be superglue. Haven’t I told you not to touch the dirty thing ” Mrs. Wormwood said.
“I haven’t touched it!” Mr. Wormwood shouted. He turned and looked again at Matilda, who looked back at him with large innocent (无辜的) brown eyes.
Scene Three
Mr. Wormwood had to keep his hat on all through dinner. Later, he discovered that the worst thing about having the hat was not to take a shower in it, but to sleep in it. “I expect it will be loose (松动) by the morning and then it’ll be taken off easily,” Mrs. Wormwood said.
Scene Four
But the hat wasn’t loose by the morning. So Mrs. Wormwood cut the thing off his head, bit by bit, first the top and then the rim.
At breakfast Matilda said to Mr. Wormwood, “You must try to get those bits off your head. They look like little brown insects. And people will think you’ve got lice (虱子).”
“Be quiet!” Mr. Wormwood shouted. “Just keep your mouth shut!”
All in all, it is a most satisfying exercise. But don’t get your hopes up that it has taught the cheater a good lesson.

Some people see oysters (牡蛎) as delicious food. But some raise oysters to clean up the polluted seawater. Amy, a 15-year-old girl, is one of them. She has won a master oyster gardener prize this year. She thinks oysters are really helpful. They are environmental stars.
“I knew nothing about oyster gardening when I started in 2022. I learned all of this after I completed a free course about it. The course is about raising oysters in cages (笼子),” Amy says.
There used to be lots of oysters in coastal waters. But their numbers have diminished. This is mainly because of some natural disasters. Oyster gardening is a way to help. “Anyone can join,” an oyster gardening researcher Liz Black says.
“You don’t have to do a lot to take care of your oysters, but the influence they have on the environment is huge,” Amy says.
During the oyster gardening season, Amy and her mom go to the beach. There Amy has nine cages. “Once a week I go out there,” she says. She pulls the cages from the water to check conditions of the oysters.
This spring, Amy’s oysters will be big enough to be collected. Amy will go with Liz to pick them up. Oysters that are collected will then be “planted” on the reefs (珊瑚礁). So far, Amy has raised more than 1,500 oysters. She’s a great leader of oyster gardening and a great supporter, too.

（2025·湖南长沙·中考真题）
I used to teach English as a volunteer in Africa. Some of my friends asked me, “Don’t you miss your home, Emily ” I told them I was the only child in my family and I truly had an easy life at home. However, I got bored of having a “good” time at home and needed a change.
The kids from Africa were eager (渴望的) to learn and easy to teach. I was surprised at how smart they were. Talking with them made me think a lot. When you come from a poor area, you must grow up fast and deal with all kinds of difficult situations.
Volunteering has always been easy for me because I don’t like to do the same things every day. My job also gives me the freedom to choose when and where I work. Although I don’t get paid for volunteering, I’m old enough to know that money is not the only way to get rewarded (回报). The experience itself is priceless. I make lots of connections with good people. Also, when I volunteer, I often work with people who are worse off than I am. That has taught me to practice thankfulness for what I have. Believe me, this life lesson is worth a million dollars.
I am not a perfect person. In a sense, I think I’m selfish (自私的). But you don’t have to be a perfect, selfless person to volunteer. In fact, I have benefited (受益) a lot from volunteering. Volunteering helps others, and it can also help yourself, too. The biggest benefit of volunteering is that it helps you develop your character (品质), and that’s the passport to a rich and meaningful life.
28．Why did Emily volunteer in Africa
A．She lived a really difficult life at home.
B．She hoped to learn a new language there.
C．She wanted to experience something new.
29．How were the African kids in Emily’s eyes in Paragraph 2
A．Quite teachable. B．Hard to deal with. C．Bored of learning.
30．What does Emily get from her volunteering experience
A．The freedom to choose a well-paid job.
B．The chance to connect with good people a lot.
C．The ability to express thanks for what she has lost.
31．Which of the following would Emily most probably agree with
A．Use it or lose it. B．Old habits die hard. C．Giving is receiving.

Greening the Desert
Minqin County, located in the city of Wuwei in Gansu Province, is between China’s third and fourth largest deserts—the Badain Jaran and the Tengger. Local people plant suosuo trees, a plant that can survive in the desert, to prevent further desertification (沙漠化).
A number of local people have worked hard to turn the place into an oasis (绿洲). 27-year-old Zhong Lin is one of them. Growing up in Minqin, Zhong experienced sandstorms throughout his childhood. He once wanted to run away from his hometown and build his future in southern China.
However, he changed his mind when he saw the villagers’ hard life and the terrible environment there. He said, “Suddenly I understood—running away isn’t the solution. Making a difference is the key.” After graduating from university in 2020, Zhong returned to his hometown. “If suosuo trees can take root in sandstorms, why can’t young people ” he wrote in his diary.
Since then, Zhong has tried planting suosuo trees in the desert. He planted 500 trees in 2021, but most of them died. So he studied, learned from experienced villagers, and then planted more. After three years’ efforts, the trees he planted are now growing well in the desert, turning the land green and lively.
To draw attention to his hometown’s environment, Zhong shared videos about tree planting online and started a “Please Plant a Tree in Minqin” activity. Encouraged by Zhong’s tree-planting story, more and more volunteers from all over the country have come to Minqin to plant trees. Their common goal is to turn the desert into an oasis.

Last weekend, I went camping after a long time of tiring work. The trip let me enjoy the clear lake and beautiful views in the woods. I felt the difference at once. I relaxed. I came home feeling rested and a little more cheerful. Going camping became a way to reduce the worry in my life.
I not only got a nice weekend, but I was also experiencing the benefits (益处) of nature to my mental health (心理健康)—something that researchers and healthcare providers have long noticed. Research has found that as little as five minutes in nature can be helpful for people to reduce worry and feel happier. This means that we can get relaxed and feel better from stepping outside right away.
If we are unable to put our whole body and mind into nature — for example, by taking a weekend camping trip — we can still find chances in our area. We can take a five-minute break in a small park near our house or take a moment to sit under a large tree. We’ll find them useful to refresh our mind. Our better feelings in later life can demonstrate the active influence of nature.
Besides simply spending more time outdoors, consider how we can enjoy nature even if we have no time to get close to nature. Listen to recorded bird songs or rainstorms instead of music, bring green plants or put pictures of natural beauty into our home. Although bringing nature indoors is quite different from a real outdoor experience, we can still feel nature and experience improved feelings.
Being in nature doesn’t ask anything of us. Slow down, go outside, and notice what’s around us. Listen, touch and smell, and we will really notice a benefit in our mental health.

Bell used to work as a children’s bookseller and helped young people of all ages find their perfect books. During lunch breaks, she wrote her first book, which came out in 2016. Then she published (出版) a series of magic books.
In the 2024 book, we meet a boy. He is taken into a secret world filled with strange animals with magic. He soon discovers he can call out those animals by using his energy connected with different feelings. The idea behind the book came from Bell’s strong wish to learn more about the mysteries of science. Bell says, “Even though the book has magic, it is rooted in science.”
Bell’s favorite subject at school was science, and she has always believed that magic has a lot to do with science. “People study science. It is full of mystery and the unknown. That feels a lot like magic,” she says.
In the 2025 book, we join the boy again as he learns how to improve his skills to call out the animals at a school. Bell says that if she could choose any animal to call out, it would be an “everwing”, which is born from hope. “I can fly, on its back! Hope and imagination have great power. They give me wings to realize my dream.”
Bell says science also comes from human curiosity (好奇心) and imagination, which are similar to the hope that creates magic in the story. She hopes her books can encourage young readers to learn more about science.

Minqin County, located in the city of Wuwei in Gansu Province, is between China’s third and fourth largest deserts—the Badain Jaran and the Tengger. Local people plant suosuo trees, a plant that can survive in the desert, to prevent further desertification (沙漠化).
A number of local people have worked hard to turn the place into an oasis (绿洲). 27-year-old Zhong Lin is one of them. Growing up in Minqin, Zhong experienced sandstorms throughout his childhood. He once wanted to run away from his hometown and build his future in southern China.

Since then, Zhong has tried planting suosuo trees in the desert. He planted 500 trees in 2021, but most of them died. So he studied, learned from experienced villagers, and then planted more. After three years’ efforts, the trees he planted are now growing well in the desert, turning the land green and lively.

The Civilian Mobile Library offers books for free. Readers are invited to take one book every 15 days. They are encouraged to pass it on to someone else once they’ve finished reading. And they are not expected to return the book.
The library is just seven square meters in size but houses thousands of books on different subjects. “It might be the smallest library in the world,” said Xu Dawei, the owner. “But in another sense, it’s also the biggest because the books keep moving. Once, a reader took a book on Chinese garden history. After finishing it, the reader passed it to a neighbour. The neighbour then took it to Germany!”
“I’ve read thousands of books,” Xu said. “Books have truly changed my life.” The idea of starting a library took shape in 2000, when Xu recommended (推荐) online a list of his favorite books to university students, but many of them said they couldn’t find those books in their school libraries or local bookstores. So he began sending his books to readers for free. “They all wrote me letters expressing their thanks. It inspired me to take it farther, turning my book-gifting into a physical space,” Xu said.
“All the readers have to do is to come. Even if they finish a book and decide not to pass it on, at least the book benefited (使受益) one person and perhaps their family, helping them fall in love with reading,” Xu said. “And this is my dream.”
102．Why did Xu Dawei mention the reader in paragraph 2

The sun hung low, brushing gold over the empty area. The air buzzed (喧闹)—not with insects, but with voices, cameras, and the weight of something about to begin.
Roy’s heart beat like a drum. He looked out at the people gathering for the pancake house ground-breaking ceremony (仪式). Behind him stood the company men and the reporters. And under his feet—hidden underground—were the tiny burrows (洞穴) of the owls.
No sign marked them. No fence protected them. They asked nothing, made no sound, yet now heavy machines waited, ready to destroy (破坏) their living area.

“Because I saw them. I stood right there and watched them. They live here. They belong here. And they matter.”

“It’s my business. It’s everyone’s business. We can’t just destroy what we don’t see. Progress should not come at the cost of wonder,” he said.
His hands stopped shaking. People in the crowd began whispering. One mother held her child’s hand. A teacher nodded. Even the manager looked uncertain.
Roy didn’t know what would happen next. But he did what he could. He spoke the truth.
Roy used to be scared. But doing the right thing made him stronger.
Sometimes, doing what you can is enough to shift (改变) the wind.

Inside the hall, the door was shut, and the key lay on the glass stand. Poor Alice, who was about one foot high after taking some drink, found a cake on the floor. She went up and soon ate all the cake.
“How strange! How tall I am!” said Alice. She looked down at her feet—they seemed so far off. In fact, she was now over nine feet high, which meant she still couldn’t get through the door. She sat down, and had a good cry till there was a large pool all round her.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of feet not far off. It was the Rabbit that had come back, with a fan in his hand.

Sanket Reddy has spent years in forests around the world taking photos of wildlife. While the animals have always interested him, the people who live alongside them have changed how he sees the world and himself. “Life lessons from those people have truly moved me,” he says.
From South India to Central America, Sanket has met communities who live in peace with nature. “They understand the value of every species (物种), no matter how small,” he says. “Even if you are just watching sparrows (麻雀), you might try to understand why they are doing what they are doing.” In our busy lives, we often fail to notice these small moments (瞬间).

Joss Naylor is a sheep farmer from the Lake District. Among most people, his name means little, but in certain circles, he is known as one of the finest mountain runners to have ever lived.
Joss lives and breathes mountains. He has lived and farmed all his life in an area of the Lake District which has many mountains, including the tallest mountain in England. Joss has an almost superhuman ability to run at speed over mountains. However, he wasn’t always a mountain runner. As a young man, he was advised to give up farming because of serious back problems. But, when he was 24, he was tired of being told to take it easy.
Nothing can stop a good man from being better! He continued working and took up running. When he ran his first mountain race, he discovered that he fell in love with it. All his time spent herding (放牧) sheep on the mountains had prepared him for this.
His achievements are nothing short of famous. For example, he smashed his own record and set a new one. At the age of 49, he ran up 214 mountains. “It is a wonderful experience though the practice is very hard,” he said. Many of his runs have raised money for charity, and he is popular in the community.
He keeps writing and sharing his experiences about his climb. “I want people back home—especially family and friends who support me—to get a real feel for what it’s like,” he said.

A．He is a well-known sheep farmer.

(Mr. Wormwood sells stolen cars and tries to get more money by cheating others. Matilda, a book lover, hates that.)
Scene One
One morning, just when Mr. Wormwood was setting off to cheat others again, Matilda walked into his room quietly to get the hat he wore each day to work. She was too short and had to get it with a walking-stick.
Holding the hat in one hand and a bottle of superglue in the other, Matilda put some glue very carefully all round the inside rim (边) of the hat. Then she carefully put the hat back.
Scene Two
That evening, when Mr. Wormwood got home, he cried, “I can’t take my hat off and I have to keep it all day!”
“Don’t be silly,” his wife said. “Come here. I’ll take it off for you.”
“Ow-w-w! Don’t do that! Let go! You’ve nearly killed me!” he shouted.
“What’s the matter ” Matilda was standing at the door with a book in her hand.
Mr. Wormwood looked at her doubtfully, but said nothing.
“It must be superglue. Haven’t I told you not to touch the dirty thing ” Mrs. Wormwood said.
“I haven’t touched it!” Mr. Wormwood shouted. He turned and looked again at Matilda, who looked back at him with large innocent (无辜的) brown eyes.
Scene Three
Mr. Wormwood had to keep his hat on all through dinner. Later, he discovered that the worst thing about having the hat was not to take a shower in it, but to sleep in it. “I expect it will be loose (松动) by the morning and then it’ll be taken off easily,” Mrs. Wormwood said.
Scene Four
But the hat wasn’t loose by the morning. So Mrs. Wormwood cut the thing off his head, bit by bit, first the top and then the rim.
At breakfast Matilda said to Mr. Wormwood, “You must try to get those bits off your head. They look like little brown insects. And people will think you’ve got lice (虱子).”
“Be quiet!” Mr. Wormwood shouted. “Just keep your mouth shut!”
All in all, it is a most satisfying exercise. But don’t get your hopes up that it has taught the cheater a good lesson.
(Matilda borrows her friend’s parrot (鹦鹉) and…)
5．What did Matilda put inside Mr. Wormwood’s hat
A．Some hair. B．Some superglue.
C．A book. D．A stick.
6．According to Scene Two, which word best describes Matilda
A．Creative. B．Friendly. C．Shy. D．Calm.
7．What can we infer from the text
A．The couple loved each other very much.
B．Mrs. Wormwood really enjoyed cutting hair.
C．Matilda would continue to punish the cheater.
D．Mr. Wormwood wouldn’t cheat others any more.
8．
Each picture above matches one scene. Which scene is missing
A．Scene One. B．Scene Two.
C．Scene Three. D．Scene Four.
【答案】5．B 6．D 7．C 8．C
【导语】本文讲述了Matilda通过巧妙设计用胶水将父亲的帽子粘在头上，以此惩罚他的不诚实行为，并展现了她的创造力和机智。
5．细节理解题。根据Scene One中“Holding the hat in one hand and a bottle of superglue in the other, Matilda put some glue very carefully all round the inside rim (边) of the hat.” 可知，Matilda在Mr. Wormwood的帽子内侧涂上了超强胶水。故选B。
6．推理判断题。根据“One morning, just when Mr. Wormwood was setting off to cheat others again, Matilda walked into his room quietly to get the hat he wore each day to work. She was too short and had to get it with a walking-stick. Holding the hat in one hand and a bottle of superglue in the other, Matilda put some glue very carefully all round the inside rim (边) of the hat. Then she carefully put the hat back.”和“Matilda was standing at the door with a book in her hand. Mr. Wormwood looked at her doubtfully, but said nothing.… Mr. Wormwood shouted. He turned and looked again at Matilda, who looked back at him with large innocent (无辜的) brown eyes.”可知，当Matilda用超强胶水粘父亲帽子时动作非常小心翼翼，可看出她处事冷静；当Mr. Wormwood发现他的帽子无法摘下时，Matilda站在门口，手里拿着一本书，用无辜的眼神看着他。这表明她巧妙地设计了这个恶作剧，利用超强胶水让父亲的帽子粘住头部，并且平静地看着一切发生。说明她沉着冷静。故选D。
7．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“All in all, it is a most satisfying exercise. But don’t get your hopes up that it has taught the cheater a good lesson.”可以推断出，尽管这次恶作剧让Mr. Wormwood受到了教训，但Matilda可能认为这还不够，她可能会继续寻找方法来惩罚这位欺骗者。故选C。
8．推理判断题。第一张图片显示的是Mrs. Wormwood在给Mr. Wormwood摘帽子，但还是拿不下来，对应Scene Two；第二张图片显示的是Mrs. Wormwood把Mr. Wormwood头上的帽子剪下来，Matilda在旁边说风凉话，对应Scene Four。第三张图片显示的是Matilda在取Mr. Wormwood的帽子，对应Scene One。因此，缺少的场景是Scene Three。故选C。

During the oyster gardening season, Amy and her mom go to the beach. There Amy has nine cages. “Once a week I go out there,” she says. She pulls the cages from the water to check conditions of the oysters.
This spring, Amy’s oysters will be big enough to be collected. Amy will go with Liz to pick them up. Oysters that are collected will then be “planted” on the reefs (珊瑚礁). So far, Amy has raised more than 1,500 oysters. She’s a great leader of oyster gardening and a great supporter, too.

I used to teach English as a volunteer in Africa. Some of my friends asked me, “Don’t you miss your home, Emily ” I told them I was the only child in my family and I truly had an easy life at home. However, I got bored of having a “good” time at home and needed a change.
The kids from Africa were eager (渴望的) to learn and easy to teach. I was surprised at how smart they were. Talking with them made me think a lot. When you come from a poor area, you must grow up fast and deal with all kinds of difficult situations.
Volunteering has always been easy for me because I don’t like to do the same things every day. My job also gives me the freedom to choose when and where I work. Although I don’t get paid for volunteering, I’m old enough to know that money is not the only way to get rewarded (回报). The experience itself is priceless. I make lots of connections with good people. Also, when I volunteer, I often work with people who are worse off than I am. That has taught me to practice thankfulness for what I have. Believe me, this life lesson is worth a million dollars.
I am not a perfect person. In a sense, I think I’m selfish (自私的). But you don’t have to be a perfect, selfless person to volunteer. In fact, I have benefited (受益) a lot from volunteering. Volunteering helps others, and it can also help yourself, too. The biggest benefit of volunteering is that it helps you develop your character (品质), and that’s the passport to a rich and meaningful life.
28．Why did Emily volunteer in Africa
A．She lived a really difficult life at home.
B．She hoped to learn a new language there.
C．She wanted to experience something new.
29．How were the African kids in Emily’s eyes in Paragraph 2

Mary’s uncle Ted was an engineer. He told her great stories about the rockets he helped design, and he often brought Mary science books. He also taught her some knowledge about space. Mary loved technology and science, and she was also adventurous (爱冒险的). For those reasons, Mary’s family kept telling her she should be an astronaut when she grew up, but she just wasn’t sure.
One Saturday, Mary and Uncle Ted went to visit the Science Museum. They watched a show on space travel. Uncle Ted told her something interesting about spaceships and space suits. But she was most interested in two model robot arms and tried operating (操作) them. She stayed there all day and felt very excited.

Greening the Desert
Minqin County, located in the city of Wuwei in Gansu Province, is between China’s third and fourth largest deserts—the Badain Jaran and the Tengger. Local people plant suosuo trees, a plant that can survive in the desert, to prevent further desertification (沙漠化).
A number of local people have worked hard to turn the place into an oasis (绿洲). 27-year-old Zhong Lin is one of them. Growing up in Minqin, Zhong experienced sandstorms throughout his childhood. He once wanted to run away from his hometown and build his future in southern China.

Since then, Zhong has tried planting suosuo trees in the desert. He planted 500 trees in 2021, but most of them died. So he studied, learned from experienced villagers, and then planted more. After three years’ efforts, the trees he planted are now growing well in the desert, turning the land green and lively.
To draw attention to his hometown’s environment, Zhong shared videos about tree planting online and started a “Please Plant a Tree in Minqin” activity.

Last weekend, I went camping after a long time of tiring work. The trip let me enjoy the clear lake and beautiful views in the woods. I felt the difference at once. I relaxed. I came home feeling rested and a little more cheerful. Going camping became a way to reduce the worry in my life.
I not only got a nice weekend, but I was also experiencing the benefits (益处) of nature to my mental health (心理健康)—something that researchers and healthcare providers have long noticed. Research has found that as little as five minutes in nature can be helpful for people to reduce worry and feel happier. This means that we can get relaxed and feel better from stepping outside right away.
If we are unable to put our whole body and mind into nature — for example, by taking a weekend camping trip — we can still find chances in our area. We can take a five-minute break in a small park near our house or take a moment to sit under a large tree. We’ll find them useful to refresh our mind. Our better feelings in later life can demonstrate the active influence of nature.
Besides simply spending more time outdoors, consider how we can enjoy nature even if we have no time to get close to nature. Listen to recorded bird songs or rainstorms instead of music, bring green plants or put pictures of natural beauty into our home. Although bringing nature indoors is quite different from a real outdoor experience, we can still feel nature and experience improved feelings.
Being in nature doesn’t ask anything of us. Slow down, go outside, and notice what’s around us. Listen, touch and smell, and we will really notice a benefit in our mental health.
根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项.

64．词义猜测题。根据“Our better feelings in later life can demonstrate the active influence of nature.”可知，晚年的美好情感能够证明大自然的积极影响，所以划线单词与show同义，故选C。

Bell used to work as a children’s bookseller and helped young people of all ages find their perfect books. During lunch breaks, she wrote her first book, which came out in 2016. Then she published (出版) a series of magic books.
In the 2024 book, we meet a boy. He is taken into a secret world filled with strange animals with magic. He soon discovers he can call out those animals by using his energy connected with different feelings. The idea behind the book came from Bell’s strong wish to learn more about the mysteries of science. Bell says, “Even though the book has magic, it is rooted in science.”
Bell’s favorite subject at school was science, and she has always believed that magic has a lot to do with science. “People study science. It is full of mystery and the unknown. That feels a lot like magic,” she says.
In the 2025 book, we join the boy again as he learns how to improve his skills to call out the animals at a school. Bell says that if she could choose any animal to call out, it would be an “everwing”, which is born from hope. “I can fly, on its back! Hope and imagination have great power. They give me wings to realize my dream.”
Bell says science also comes from human curiosity (好奇心) and imagination, which are similar to the hope that creates magic in the story. She hopes her books can encourage young readers to learn more about science.

Minqin County, located in the city of Wuwei in Gansu Province, is between China’s third and fourth largest deserts—the Badain Jaran and the Tengger. Local people plant suosuo trees, a plant that can survive in the desert, to prevent further desertification (沙漠化).

After three years’ efforts, the trees he planted are now growing well in the desert, turning the land green and lively.
To draw attention to his hometown’s environment, Zhong shared videos about tree planting online and started a “Please Plant a Tree in Minqin” activity.
