In 2026, the “spring and autumn holidays” for primary and secondary school (中小学) students became a hot topic at the Two Sessions (两会). The government supports these holidays, provinces like Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan have already tested the policy (政策). For example, from April 1 to April 3, students in Chengdu had a three-day spring break. This break became a six-day holiday since it was combined (合并) with the Tomb Sweeping Day. Other cities, like Nanjing and Suzhou, had similar schedules.
The policy aims to let families travel in off-peak seasons and boost (促进) local consumption (消费). These holidays bring great benefits to students. They can reduce study pressure after long learning periods and keep students healthy both physically and mentally. With mild weather, students can step out of classrooms to take part in practical activities, such as farming experiences, nature observation (观察) and local cultural learning. This helps turn textbook knowledge into real-life experience and creates a win-win situation for education and society.
However, there are still challenges. Many working parents can’t look after their children during the holidays. To solve this problem, schools now offer childcare services with colorful activities, and local communities provide more programs. The holidays can also be set flexibly (灵活地) according to local conditions. In short, these holidays are an important educational innovation (创新), helping students grow in a healthier and more meaningful way.
26.How long did students in Chengdu have for the spring holiday including Tomb Sweeping Day
A. 3 days B. 4 days C. 5 days D. 6 days
27.The underlined phrase “off-peak seasons” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________ in Chinese.
A. 旅游旺季 B. 旅游淡季 C. 节假日 D. 工作日
28.Which of the following is NOT a benefit of the holidays for students
A. It helps reduce study pressure after long learning periods.
B. It improves students’ physical and mental health.
C. It helps working parents solve childcare problems during holidays.
D. It helps students turn textbook knowledge into real-life experience.
29.Which is TRUE according to the passage
A. Parents don’t worry about their children during the holidays.
B. Schools don’t offer help for working parents.
C. The holidays can be set flexibly.
D. The holidays have nothing to do with local consumption.
30.What is the best title for the text
A. How to travel in off-peak seasons
B. Spring and autumn holidays — a new educational try
C. Ways to improve students’ grades
D. The history of school holidays

Anger isn’t a good feeling. Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s seen everywhere. Unluckily, many of us have been used to keeping our feelings hidden. Research suggests that this can have long-term bad influences on your health.
Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry The research points out that when we show our anger in this way, we probably can’t get on well with our friends and our family. The longer we stay angry, the worse the result will be. So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way
First, know what makes us angry. Anger is often caused by feelings such as fear, disappointment and so on.
Also, care more about those everyday things that will make us angry. For example, we may get angry in the long lines at the store. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has dinner to make, just like us. One way to deal with anger is to talk about it. The study has shown that if we name our feelings, we can slowly calm ourselves down and feel better.
Take some deep breaths or find some helpful exercise to do. Exercise helps with feelings of anger.
If we learn to deal with anger, we will be happier and healthier.
