Tourists across China have enjoyed a chain of cultural events from traditional to modern, and discovered new destinations during this year's five-day May Day holiday.
Items on China's traditional intangible cultural heritage list proved to be popular with travelers in many regions. In Lantian county, northwest China's Shanxi Province, tourists were amazed by the art of Dawaz, which means aerial tightrope (空中钢丝) walking in the Uygur language. Meanwhile, in east China's Changzhou City, music festivals attracted huge crowds of travelers, and local authorities introduced measures to ensure the comfort of visitors. They arranged 500 coaches for long-distance travel, set up more than 10,000 free parking spaces and extended the operation hours of the subway network until 11:30 p. m.
And it's not just big cities that drew in visitors during this holiday. Holiday makers decided to go for natural views, less-crowded scenic spots, and cost-effective travel experiences. Data from Chinese travel booking platform Ctrip showed that orders for fourth-tier and below cities increased by 140 percent on a yearly basis, outperforming those in first and second-tier cities.
Wu Sa, deputy director of the Economic Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, expressed belief that the popularity of usual major destinations like Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Chengdu is not decreasing, but explained that a good number of travelers are looking to diversify the range of their travels, towards new and previously lesser-known places.
Scientific and space projects have also been a hit travel destination this week, from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China to the world's largest single-dish radio telescope in the southwestern province of Guizhou. "I mainly wanted to take my child to appreciate some of China's leading space technology and the development trend of big data, so that he can understand the advanced technology of our motherland," said a tourist named Hu Wannping.

A recent study showed that eating processed red meat (like bacon or hot dogs) frequently can increase the chances of developing dementia (痴呆) by 13 percent, but replacing red meat with nuts, beans or fish can lower the risk by 20 percent.
"Dietary guidelines tend to focus on reducing risks of chronic (慢性的) conditions, while cognitive (认知的) health like dementia is less frequently discussed," said Daniel Wang, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham health care system.
The results, published online in Neurology on 15 January, show that the dementia risk is related to an imbalance of good and bad bacteria(细菌)in our guts caused by red meat. Researchers tracked the health of 133,000 people for more than 40 years to understand how diet affects brain health. The participants were mostly nurses and other healthcare workers who regularly shared details about what they ate.
People who ate processed red meat daily were more likely to develop dementia than those who rarely ate these foods. A standard serving of red meat was about the size of a soap bar. The participants underwent standard memory tests, which revealed that each daily serving of processed meat aged the brain by about 1.6 years. Additionally, people who ate more meat, whether processed or regular, reported memory and thinking problems.
When we eat meat, our gut bacteria break it down into a substance called TMAO(Trimethylamine N-oxide). Researchers think TMAO might harm our brains by causing certain proteins to clump together — the same proteins they see in dementia. However, they still need to do more research to understand this fully.
"We need these kinds of long-term studies to understand dementia because it develops very slowly, over many years," Dr Wang added. Choosing what we put on our plate could be a key differentiator of brain health.
8．What did the study in the text focus on
A．The dietary risks for heart disease. B．The benefits of nuts, beans and fish.
C．The importance of dietary guidelines. D．The impact of diet on cognitive health.
9．What do we know about the findings of the study in Neurology
A．Red meat is linked to improvements in memory.
B．Red meat is the only risk factor for brain health.
C．Daily red meat consumption speeds up brain aging.
D．Eating red meat contributes to gut bacteria balance.
10．It is implied in this passage that we should ________.
A．add processed red meat to our diet B．eat more meat to strengthen memory
C．pay attention to diet for better mental health D．have a balanced diet to improve health conditions
11．Where is this text probably taken from
A．A health magazine. B．A medical textbook.
C．A cooking blog. D．A business report.

As new trends appear in the world of toys, there's been an effort to make them more inclusive (包容的). "Kids often develop fixed ideas about what toys are suitable for their gender," says Dr. Laura Thompson, a child psychologist. Making toys without a specific gender label (标签) appears to be an easy solution to this problem. However, as Dr. Thompson has discovered in her research, gender plays a significant role in how kids interact with toys, especially those with certain characteristics.
In her study, Dr. Thompson asked children to rate their interest in male-focused, female-focused, and gender-neutral (中立的) versions of a doll-like figure named "Buddy" and a construction-themed toy set. It was found that gender influenced kids' levels of engagement with these toys and their desire to play with them. For example, children expressed less interest in the genderless doll than the male or female versions.
While connecting toys with a particular gender might promote sales in some cases, it can also strengthen old-fashioned and harmful ideas about roles and abilities. Stereotypes (刻板印象) linked to boys, such as being more active and good at building, are often considered more positive than those related to girls. These qualities are then passed to the toys that are labeled as male or female.
Dr. Thompson's study also showed that creating a truly gender-neutral toy was no easy task. Even if a toy's appearance or name was designed to be gender-neutral, like Buddy, children would still give it a gender. They would think Buddy was either a "he" or a "she".
Despite these challenges, Dr. Thompson sees a bright side: She believes that the way kids interact with toys "offers a chance to reshape stereotypes." When girls are given toys that are typically considered for boys, like construction sets, it helps break down negative stereotypes about girls. Similarly, toys could be designed to have roles that go against the usual stereotypes — a male doll that likes to play with makeup or a female action figure that is great at sports, for instance.
12．What is the main aim of making toys more inclusive
A．To promote toy sales. B．To satisfy parents' needs.
C．To increase production efficiency. D．To avoid gender-related fixed ideas.
13．What were the children probably asked to do in the study
A．Group toys based on gender. B．Grade their preferred toys.
C．Play with genderless toys. D．Identify particular toys.
14．Why is it hard to make completely gender-neutral toys
A．Gender-labeled toys are more attractive. B．Toy producers are short of creativity.
C．Gender-neutral toys lack popularity. D．Children are used to gender-based grouping.
15．What does the last paragraph mainly discuss
A．The effect of gender-neutral toys.
B．The challenges of promoting inclusive toys.
C．The importance of breaking traditional gender stereotypes.
D．The role of toys in challenging kids' traditional views on gender.

47．读后续写
I got out of a taxi after a tiring day at school, thinking about what I had learned. When I looked for my phone to pay the driver, I couldn't find it. I felt scared and searched my bag and pockets quickly. The taxi driver, a friendly-looking older man, saw that I was upset.
"Is something wrong " he asked, sounding worried.
"I... I lost my phone," I said, feeling both shy and nervous. "I can't pay you."
The driver's face became gentle. "Don't worry about the money now. Let's find your phone," he said kindly, like a light in my difficult moment.
We went back over where I had been, and the driver waited as I looked all around the taxi. My heart was beating fast, and I was scared about losing my phone, which had all my important contacts and memories.
After looking everywhere, the driver said, "Maybe you left it at school I can take you there."
I was unsure, not wanting to be a bother, but he said, "It's no problem. We'll find it."
As we went back to the school, I felt thankful for this stranger's kindness. The lights of the city passed by quickly as we drove, and I thought about what I would do if I couldn't find my phone.
When we got to the school, it was very quiet and dark. We looked in the classroom where I had been, but we didn't find it. I started to feel hopeless, but the driver stayed hopeful.
He used his phone to call my number, and we heard my phone ringing under the seat! There was my phone, hidden with some books! I felt so relieved and happy.
"Thank you so much!" I said, almost crying from being so happy.
The driver smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me. I'm just glad we found it."
Paragraph 1:
On the way back to my house, we had a pleasant conversation.

46．【答案】Dear Headmaster,
As World Environment Day approaches, I'm writing to talk about protecting the environment.
Environment protection is of great significance. The environment is what we rely on for survival. A good environment can make us feel happy and keep us healthy. Without it, our life will be in great danger.
Here are some measures we can take. Firstly, we should take public transport more often, which can reduce air pollution. Secondly, we ought to recycle things that can be reused. Thirdly, we mustn't litter everywhere because it will make our school dirty.
Let's take action now!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
47．【答案】Paragraph 1:On the way back to my house, we had a pleasant conversation. The ride back was full of friendly talk and laughter. It's very different from the quiet ride we had before. When we got to my house, I gave him the money for the ride and more to thank him for his time and help. "Keep the extra money," I said, feeling very thankful. He said: "Think of it as a good thing I did today."
Paragraph 2:
As I watched the taxi go away, I thought about what had happened. I knew that sometimes, people we don't expect can teach us important things about caring and being human. This wasn't just about finding a lost phone; it was about connecting with another person, no matter the language or culture. In the end, I didn't just find a phone; I found a valuable lesson about being kind and the power of helping others. A lesson I will always remember.
