Gardening，bird-watching，and drawing are relaxing and creative hobbies.People call them "grandma hobbies".In the past，many older women liked doing these things.Now，people of all ages enjoy them.

Drawing is also a way to benefit your mental health.Research shows that just 10 minutes of drawing a day can make you happy.And if you keep doing it for a month，the effects （影响） are even stronger.
Not only do these hobbies help change your mood，but they also keep your brain healthy.When you learn something new，your brain becomes more active.This helps improve your memory.

These days，many kids like collecting special items called "goods" （商品）.Fans in China often call them "guzi".Among these goods，the most popular is the badge （徽章），which is known as "baji".
These badges are usually small and round with pictures of characters from famous cartoons on them.However，not every company （公司） can sell badges.Only licensed （特许的） companies have the right to sell those badges，and their prices differ a lot.Usually，a common badge might cost 15 to 30 yuan，while prices of some limited edition （限量版） ones can go crazy.For example，a badge of a character from "Haikyu!!" once sold for 72，000 yuan.
Why are teenagers so into badges？Maybe in their eyes，it's a way to show love for their favourite cartoons.When fans wear a badge of their favourite character on their bag or jacket，they feel close to that character and the story.It's like carrying a piece of that magical world with them.Besides，it helps fans feel like they are members of some group.At anime conventions （漫展），you can see some badge lovers talking to each other，buying or selling badges，and making friends.They know they're part of a big group of people who love the same things.
But sometimes，this love can turn into something bad.Some fans spend too much money on badges.They might use the money for breakfast to buy an expensive badge.Others get really angry if they can't get the badge they want，or if someone else has a better collection.This is because they care so much about showing they're the biggest fans.
Collecting "baji" and other "guzi" can be a fun hobby.It's great to express your love for cartoons and make friends.But it's also important to remember not to spend too much money or get too stressed about it.After all，the real magic of cartoons is in the stories and the feelings they give us，not just in the badges we collect.
22.What does "guzi" refer to in the passage？ ______
A. Popular Japanese cartoons.
B. Special items collected by fans.
C. Expensive limited edition toys.
23.Why are some badges very expensive？ ______
A. Because they are made of gold.
B. Because their sizes are usually very big.
C. Because they are limited editions.
24.Why do fans wear badges at anime conventions？ ______
A. To show they are rich. B. To connect with other fans.
C. To sell their collections.
25.What's the main purpose of this passage？ ______
A. To tell us that "guzi" and "baji" are popular among teenagers.
B. To stop teenagers from buying badges.
C. To advise teenagers not to get lost in collecting badges.

26.Why You Should Spend More Time OutsideThink about last week.How much time did you spend outside？I mean really outside—walking from the car into the mall does not count.
Now think about how much time you spent indoors.Did you play video games？Go online？Watch TV？
If you are like many kids today，you may spend much more time inside than outside.A University of Michigan study shows that kids today spend about two hours less each week on outdoor activities than kids did 20 years ago.Richard Louv，a writer，says that too much time indoors can bring problems like stress and less joy.
So why is going outside so important？Let us look at a few reasons.
First，being outdoors wakes up your senses.When you run，play，or just walk around，you use your eyes，ears，and nose.You see the colors of the leaves，hear the birds sing，and smell the fresh air.Professor Betsy Keller says， "All of your senses are at work when you are outside."
Second，nature helps clear your mind.Have you ever felt stressed or found it hard to focus？Too much time indoors may be the problem.Louv calls this "nature deficit disorder." It means our minds need the outdoors to feel good.
Third，being outside helps you feel closer to the world around you.You do not need to live near a forest.A walk in your local park or some time in your backyard can make a difference.Just take a moment to breathe，look around，and enjoy.
So next time you pick up your phone or turn on the game player，think about this：a little outdoor time may be just what you need.
(1) Does the writer believe that kids today spend too much time indoors？
______
(2) What problems does Richard Louv say too much time indoors can bring？
______
(3) Which senses does the writer say we use when we are outside？
______
(4) Where can people spend time outside if they do not live near a forest？
______
(5) What will you do to spend more time outside after reading this article？
______

Scientists do tests on mice.They give mice lots of sunlight.After that，mice produce a special thing in their bodies. (3) （ it） name is glutamic acid （谷氨酸）.Glutamic acid is good for our body.It can improve some of our abilities，such as learning and remembering (4) （ thing）.
