Da Shuhua is a traditional Chinese performance often seen during festivals like the Lantern Festival and the Spring Festival. The name means “creating tree flowers”. Performers throw hot iron (铁) against a cold wall. The iron turns into thousands of sparks (火花) that look like falling flowers. Because it is very dangerous and can easily hurt people, it is called “the game of the brave”. In May 2021, it was added to China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录).
In ancient times, poor people couldn’t pay for expensive fireworks. Then they found that when the heated iron fell on the ground, it could create the similar scene of fireworks. After many experiments, they created Da Shuhua. It soon became a way for poor people to celebrate important festivals.
Today, only a few people can perform Da Shuhua. Wang De is the youngest performer. He started learning from his father when he was 15 years old.

A terrible illness killed Mary’s parents, so she was sent to England to live with her uncle in a big old house. Mary was told she must stay in her room and not walk around freely. One night, she heard someone crying in the big house. She was curious. The next day, she walked down long halls and opened a door. A boy was lying in bed.

“I’m so weak that I can’t stand up. And everyone says I will die soon.”

Do you have such an experience You think hard about a difficult math problem for 30 minutes and have no idea. You keep trying hard, but your mind is still empty. You give up in the end and take a warm shower. When hot water runs over your head, something surprising happens: the right answer comes to your mind all at once.
This is called “the Shower Effect (浴室效应)”. It is no magic, but a natural rule of how the brain works.
When you sit at the desk and push yourself to solve problems, your brain acts like a narrow spotlight (聚光灯), focusing only on a tiny area. You get upset if you cannot find answers here. But when you relax—like when you are taking a shower, walking the dog, or even daydreaming—your brain changes. It becomes like a wide floodlight (泛光灯). It starts looking at the whole room instead of just one corner. Your brain is amazing. Even without your active thinking, it still works secretly in the background and connects different pieces of information quietly. That explains why creative ideas often show up during relaxing moments.
In your study, you can use this effect when you have trouble solving a hard problem. First, don’t think about it for too long. Move away from the desk if you feel stuck. Second, plan short brain breaks: take a walk or enjoy soft music to free your mind. Third, prepare a small notebook nearby. When a great idea comes to you while you are relaxing, write it down before you forget it.
Remember, being a good student is not just about working hard. It is also about knowing when to stop and let your brain rest. Happy showering!
32. How does the writer start the passage
A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example.
C．By comparing two things. D．By explaining a reason.
33. Why does the writer mention spotlight and floodlight
A．To explain the way the brain works. B．To show we need bright rooms.
C．To tell us to buy two kinds of lights. D．To introduce two useful tools.
34. According to the passage, what may help you when you have trouble solving a hard problem
① Playing a video game. ② Taking a walk.
③ Listening to soft music. ④ Finishing a difficult task.
A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．①④
35. What is the best title for this passage
A．How to Take a Shower B．When to Solve Math Problems
C．Why Rest Helps Your Brain D．What Makes Your Brain Healthy

Nowadays the internet is a necessary part of our everyday lives. However, it may have different effects on people of different ages. Many reports say that the use of the internet is bad for young people, especially children under 7 years old. But for old people, a new study shows a different side.
Researchers wanted to know how the internet affected adults over 50 years old. They collected data (数据) from nearly 90,000 old people in 23 different countries. The results show that using the internet greatly improves their mental health (心理健康). Old people who go online every day have much healthier minds than those who hardly ever use the internet.
The research also finds something interesting. Different groups get different benefits. For example, for old people who often stay at home and do few social activities, the internet is a window to the world. It allows them to learn something new. For old people with disabilities, moving around is hard. The internet gives them a way to have conversations with others without leaving home. It is especially useful for old people living alone. They can stay connected with family and friends on the screen anytime. Researchers believe that the internet is becoming more and more important to old adults.
Hopefully, these findings may help old people. If we encourage them to use the internet in a proper way, we can help them solve mental problems to make their lives much better.
