When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audiobooks (有声书) instead of reading paper books. Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books Is listening to an audiobook just as good as reading a book
Reading needs us to focus (集中) all our attention on the words in a book, and we also need to find time and a place to sit down and read, However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too. That’s why people like audiobooks better.
But the big question is, do we get knowledge from audiobooks as effectively as we do from paper books Scientists did an experiment to find the answer. Volunteers in Group One were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in Group Two read a book of the same content (内容). The result showed that the volunteers remember the same amount (量) of information, whether they listened to it or read it.
Another study published in the Journal of Neuroscience further supported the result above. In the study, researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activates (激活) almost the same parts of the brain as reading does.
However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often multitasking (处理多个任务). “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’re not going to learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times.
43. The audiobook users are freer in ______ than paper book users.
A. age and place B. price and time C. time and place D. price and age
44. What do we know about the study published in the Journal of Neuroscience
A. People learn better from reading paper books.
B. People need to read and listen to books at the same time.
C. People get as much information from audiobooks as from paper books.
D. Listening to audiobooks activates different parts of the brain from reading does.
45. What does the underlined word "effectively" mean in Paragraph 3
A. 有效地 B. 同样地 C. 清晰地 D. 快速地
46. Why do some people believe they learn better from reading paper books
A. Because paper books are more interesting.
B. Because they can listen to audiobooks later.
C. Because they can focus better on paper books.
D. Because they can do other tasks at the same time.

"Why is Mandarin（普通话）difficult " and "Is it hard to learn Mandarin " are common Baidu searches for beginners in the Mandarin language. 47 Here are some tips for you.
Grammar
Compared to languages like French or English, Mandarin grammar is a piece of cake. 48 When speaking in the past tense, a simple "了" will do. A very important thing for Mandarin is the sentence structure. Luckily, it is very easy to follow: Subject + Time + Place + Verb + Object.
Pinyin Pronunciation
Pinyin may be a challenge for many, as Mandarin sounds don't often happen within the English language. 49 If you're having trouble or are unsure of how to pronounce pinyin, there are a lot of pinyin pronunciation websites which are ready to offer help. Understanding the rules of pinyin will also greatly help you learn Mandarin fast.
Tones
50 One word in pinyin can be used for different characters, all with very different meanings. For example, the word si. While sì means four, sǐ means death. If you're not confident in tones yet, context（语境）can often help you understand the meaning behind.
In our view, it's about time we stop asking "is it hard to learn Mandarin Chinese". 51 Not only is it a great exercise for the brain, but it'll open up a new world for you.
A. Instead, just start learning.
B. Maybe we should use Mandarin more.
C. How can we learn Mandarin easily and fast
D. However, with practice it shouldn’t be a problem.
E. Mandarin doesn't have any of those different tenses.
F. They may be one of the most difficult parts in learning Mandarin.
G. How can we improve the ability to communicate in Mandarin

Li Jun, a middle school boy, felt shy when he was making a speech the other day.

Li is not alone. Many middle school students now have the same problem: they can talk about their ideas freely with their best friends after class, ______69______ they can’t speak in public. According to Zhou Hong, ______70______ teacher from a university, the main reason is that schools in China pay more attention to ______71______(write) instead of speaking.

He also offers some ______72______(suggest) to students. “During your free time, you should practice more. When you’re speaking in public, take it easy.

Recently, short videos have got millions of views online. Many people make and share short videos on popular video apps like Tik Tok and Kuaishou. They can even add music and special effects(特效) to their videos. The videos are a few seconds or minutes long. They show people who are doing activities like cooking, exercising and singing.
Teenagers especially enjoy these videos. More than 50% of high school students say they enjoy watching these short videos. About 47% have posted(发布) their own videos, according to a report by China National Youth Palace Association.
The videos let young people see interesting and exciting things they can’t usually see. Many young people like to share the fun things they do with others.
However, the videos can also cause trouble. Some students spend too much time watching them, so they don’t have enough time to study. Some videos have a bad effect on young people. So Tik Tok added a new function(功能) in April. It may lock the app if someone uses the app for over two hours a day. In the same month, the government also did something to stop young people using this app too much.

Dear Simon,
Thank you so much for your email. I'm very happy to tell you about my school life.
I have a best friend named Tom. He is kind and helpful. Last term, I failed my math exam and felt sad. He spent his free time helping me with math problems every day, and finally I made great progress.
To learn English well, I listen to English tapes every morning and practice speaking with my classmates in the English corner after class. I also read English storybooks regularly.
In the DIY Club, we often make small things like paper lanterns and wooden shelves. It's interesting to turn simple materials into useful items with our own hands.
I really enjoy my school life now. It's colorful and full of fun. I can learn a lot, make good friends and take part in meaningful activities.
How about your school life Write to me soon.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
