Even at 80 Mei Jingtian still patrols (巡逻) the Shixiaguan part of the Great Wall. With over 40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety.
He lives in Shixia village near the 8.6-kilometer part. Shixia villagers have a deep love for the wall. Mei remembers when he ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on the large building as a child. However in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian, patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter.
In 1984, a Great Wall protection program started, with Mei’s effort encouraging many, and it was quickly picked up by villagers in Shixia. Realizing the importance of protection, more and more of them returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. His niece, Liu Hongyan, encouraged by him, also became a guardian in 2019. “When I was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Liu says. “It is my duty and responsibility to protect the Great Wall.”
Mei’s hard work has made a difference. From 2015 to 2023, 289 protection projects were allowed and thousands of guardians joined.
Even though there is progress, the Shixiaguan part still remains closed to the public. “My biggest wish,” Mei says, “is to see the Great Wall well-protected and open for all to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting it.”

We all know that exercise is good for our body. It helps us build a strong heart and keep a healthy weight. But did you know that exercise is also great for your brain Recent studies show that physical activity can actually change the brain in some amazing ways, making us think better and feel happier.
The first change is about the brain’s ability to learn and remember. When we exercise, our heart sends more blood to the brain, carrying oxygen and important food. This helps the brain cells grow and become stronger. Scientists have found that a part of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体), which is very important for memory, gets larger in people who exercise often. This means these people may find it easier to learn new things and get higher scores on tests.
Besides a better memory exercise is also a powerful way to improve our mood (心情). During and after physical activity, the brain produces more “feel-good” chemicals. These natural brain chemicals help to reduce feelings of worry and stress. You don’t need to run a long way to get the result. Even a short walk or some simple sports can make you feel more relaxed and happy.
So, how can you add more exercise to your life You don’t have to be an athlete. The key is to find an activity you enjoy. It could be walking or riding a bike to school, joining a dance club, or just playing ball games with friends in the park. Try to be active for at least 30 minutes most days.
In short, exercise is not just about building a healthy body. It is also one of the most effective ways to build a healthier, happier, and smarter brain. Next time when you need a break from study, perhaps going out for some exercise is the best choice.
8. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Exercise is the best way to build a strong body.
B. Students should spend more time playing sports.
C. Exercise has great effects on brain as it does on body.
D. The hippocampus is the most important part of the brain.
9. According to Paragraph 2, how does exercise help us learn better
A. By making us want to learn new things.
B. By making us feel happier and more relaxed.
C. By allowing the heart to send less blood to the brain.
D By helping brain cells grow stronger in the hippocampus.
10. How does exercise help to improve our mood
A. By helping our brain learn new things and remember information better.
B. By producing natural brain chemicals that reduce feelings of worry and stress.
C. By making the hippocampus, an important part for memory, become larger.
D. By bringing more blood and oxygen to the brain during physical activity.
11. What does the author suggest for adding exercise to our life
A. We need to find an activity we enjoy. B. We should run a long way every day.
C. We have to join a school sports team. D. We must become excellent athletes.
D
A new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds that a fitness tracker (健康追踪器) probably does not help with weight loss.
The trackers are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist (手腕), where they record a person’s heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of individuals. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health consultation (咨询) with experts for the best weight-loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health consultation.
The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of these trackers for weight loss.
The study involved 470 subjects aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese (肥胖的). Over three fourths of the subjects were women. All the subjects were told to increase physical activity and go on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the subjects into two groups: one continued with monthly consulting, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups showed great improvements in fitness, physical activity and diet, with no big difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.
Jakicic said, “The study’s findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to deal with America’s obesity.” “More information is needed,” he added, “to learn how to best use these trackers to help adults who want to lose weight.”
12. What were both groups of people in the study asked to do
A. Go on a high-calorie diet. B. Wear a fitness tracker.
C. Record their heart rates. D. Consult experts.
13. What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text
A. The study went on for about two years.
B. More than 120 men took part in the study.
C. Health consulting makes little difference to weight-loss.
D. There are great differences in health between both groups.
14. Which of the following is TRUE about fitness trackers
A. Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim.
B. Fitness trackers might be effective if used in a better way.
C. The present fitness trackers cannot record data accurately.
D. Fitness trackers should be immediately given up as a weight-loss tool.
15. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To compare two different weight-loss methods.
B. To explain the advantages of health consultation.
C. To report the findings of a study on fitness trackers and weight loss.
D. To encourage the use of fitness trackers combined with expert advice.
