World Heritage Wonders: Sparking Kids’ Imagination
UNESCO has recognized more than a thousand cultural and natural places as World Heritages. From geological wonders to marvels of engineering, they could be your next vacation. Here are some incredible global treasures to get you going.
Watch shadow puppets in Indonesia.
Shadows come to life in the artful hands of an Indonesian Dalang, an expert storyteller who makes the puppets move behind a screen that has a light behind it. This creates exciting shadow plays that entertain kids and grown-ups alike. It’s also on UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage that help tell the tale of our shared humanity.
Spot wildlife wonders in Botswana.
The Okavango Delta in northern Botswana is one of southern Africa’s most biodiverse freshwater watersheds and a dream destination for animal lovers of all ages. The delta sustains the planet’s most endangered animals. From navigating canals in canoes to camping in nearby national parks, a family-friendly safari here can excite even the most jaded teen.
See Northern Ireland’s coastal wonderland.
Giant’s Causeway is a volcanic formation of nearly 40,000 hexagonal columns (六角形柱子), created 60 million years ago. According to legend, this geological marvel is the handiwork of mythical warrior Finn McCool, who built a bridge across the Irish Sea to attack enemies in the Scottish Hebrides. It’s a World Heritage site uniquely suited to spark the imagination of children while offering a fascinating experience for the whole family.
Camp in a biosphere in Mexico.
Sian Ka’an, which means “origin of the sky” in Maya language, is a 1.3-million-acre biosphere reserve on the eastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Extending from tropical forests to coral reefs along the coast, the reserve counts sea turtles, crocodiles, spider monkeys, nurse sharks, and flamingos as local residents. Families can rent beachside tent cabins and book kayaking, fly-fishing, cenote snorkeling, and canal tours within the reserve.
21. Where can children appreciate the incredible intangible cultural heritage
A．Indonesia. B．Botswana. C．Mexico. D．Northern Ireland.
22. Which activity is NOT mentioned in Sian Ka’an, Mexico

Have you ever noticed how a particular song can bring back a flood of memories and make you deeply emotional That’s because it’s not just your ears that are engaged when you listen to music-the areas of your brain responsible for emotion and memory also become active. While music’s ability to excite emotions and recall memories is well known, Yiren Ren, a sixth-year Ph.D. student in Georgia Tech’s School of Psychology, and her team wondered whether it could also change the emotional content of existing memories.
The researchers developed a three-day experiment to test it. On the first day, participants memorized a series of short, emotionally neutral stories. The next day, they recalled these stories while listening to either positive music, negative music, or silence, as fMRI recorded their brain activity by monitoring changes in blood flow. On the final day, participants were asked to recall the stories again, this time without any music.
The results were striking. When participants listened to emotionally charged music while recalling the neutral stories, they were more likely to include new emotional elements into the story that matched the mood of the music. Even more interesting was the brain imaging taken during the experiment. When participants recalled stories while listening to music, there was increased activity in brain areas responsible for emotional memory processing. This is why a song associated with a significant life event can feel so powerful – it activates both emotion and memory-processing regions at the same time.
The finding suggests that music is closely connected with memories and unnoticeably shaping their emotional tone. Memories may also be more flexible than previously thought and could be influenced by external sounds during recall. For people dealing with emotional disorders, carefully chosen music might help reshape those memories in a more positive light and potentially reduce their negative emotional impact over time.
24. Why did Yiren Ren and her team carry out the experiment
A．To study how music excites emotions. B．To measure brain activity during music.
C．To explore music’s memory recall ability. D．To test if music affects emotions in memory.
25. What were participants required to do in the experiment
A．Create emotionally neutral stories. B．Read stories and summarize them.
C．Listen to music and report feelings. D．Memorize and recall stories across days.
26. What change happened to participants’ memories during the experiment
A．Their neutral memories gained emotional color.
B．They could remember stories much longer.
C．They forgot the original plots easily. D．Their mood stayed unchanged all the time.
27. Which group of people can benefit from the research result
A．Music lovers. B．People with mental troubles. C．Story writers. D．Brain doctors.
C
Almost everything we do with, or simply near to, a connected device produces some small bit of information — about who we are, about the device we’re using and the other devices nearby, about what we did and when and how and for how long. Sometimes doing nothing at all — merely staying on a webpage — is recorded as a relevant piece of information.
Our data are everywhere because our data are useful, mostly to make people money. When someone opens up their phone’s browser and clicks on a link, a whole hidden economy kicks into action. You browse a website for free, if you allow us to track your data and target you with personalized ads. If you don’t, you quit.
There’s a common way to understand Internet business models: “If you’re getting it for free, you are the product.” What that means in practice is that websites give away their content for free and in return you feed them with your personal work trackers get their information and feed it to different marketers and companies, which combine it with information gathered from other people and other sites and use it to classify us into “interest types”. The more data are gathered, the easier it is to predict who we are, what we like, where we live, whom we might vote for, how much money we might have, and what we might like to buy with it.
Once collected, our information ricochets around a complex ad-tech ecosystem — springing rapidly between computers, automated processes, and ad companies like a pinball in a machine made up of thousands of companies that offer to analyze it and deliver highly targeted ads based on it.
Clicking “Agree” on an app’s terms of service might mean, in the eyes of an exploitative company, that the app will not only take the information you’re giving up but will sell it to, or share it with, other companies. The only certainty is that once our information is out there, we’re not getting it back.
28. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs
A．Refusing data tracking means no free website access.
B．Users can fully control their own personal data online.
C．Doing nothing on the web creates no useful information.
D．Data collection is just to offer free online resources.
29. Why do websites provide free content according to the text
A．To popularize Internet technology. B．To collect users’ personal information.
C．To save visitors’ daily expenses. D．To improve their service quality.
30. What does the underlined word “ricochets” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Moves around fast. B．Disappears quickly. C．Stores safely. D．Changes slowly.
31. What is the writer’s attitude toward online data collection
A．Supportive. B．Neutral. C．Critical. D．Uninterested.

Teens don’t just secretly take a quick look at their phones in class. They’re spending an average of 1.5 hours on them every school day, with 25% of the students logging on for more than two hours, according to a new study published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics.
Lauren Hale, the study’s main author and a professor at Stony Brook University, emphasized that research on this topic is lacking. “Mostly we depend on personal stories and self-report of when and how much time people use smartphones during the school day,” Hale told ABC News, adding that an earlier study with Android devices found students spent only 43 minutes on their phone during school hours, far less than the 1.5 hours seen in this study, a 109% increase.
While some students turned to their devices for research or schoolwork, entertainment and social media were always just a click away. Instagram, TikTok and other messaging apps were among the most popular platforms, pulling teens into social feeds and chats during school hours. Although the newly published study was a descriptive study that did not examine the risks or benefits of school-day phone use, experts worry that frequent scrolling could have lasting consequences—not just for academics, but for social development as well.
Recognizing that digital devices may be damaging the quality of learning, many states have moved to limit their availability in schools. In September, California passed a law requiring schools to restrict or ban smartphones to reduce distractions and mental health risks. Florida banned phones during class time in 2023, while states including Ohio and South Carolina are considering a ban or limit on cell phones, according to Johns Hopkins University.
“Smartphones are a necessary part of all teens’ lives”, Hale said, “The challenge now is finding the right balance—both in the classroom and beyond—to promote a healthy learning environment”, she added. “School hours are precious, and we want to minimize the distractions and reduce missed opportunities for learning from teachers, engaging with friends, eating lunch and going outside,” Hale said. “All of those things are what kids should be doing in school, but they shouldn’t be on their phones, in my opinion.”
32. How long do teenagers spend on phones each school day on average in the new study
A．43 minutes. B．90 minutes. C．120 minutes. D．150 minutes.
33. What’s the present situation of related research on students’ phone use at school
A．Enough reliable studies have been done. B．Relevant research is insufficient.
C．All research results are totally exact. D．Studies mainly focus on operation steps.
34. What’s the purpose of California’s new law
A．Create a better social atmosphere for teenagers.
B．Research the hidden harm of mobile phones.
C．Cut down distractions and mental health dangers.
D．Help students develop better communication skills.
35. What is Lauren Hale’s opinion on teenagers’ mobile phones
A．Mobile phones should be totally forbidden at school.
B．Phones bring many valuable learning chances.
C．Using phones has only bad influences on teens.
D．Students need to use phones in a proper balanced way.

Giving Old Buildings a New Life
Walking through cities, we often see old buildings standing quietly. Sadly, many are forgotten, falling apart, and their stories fading away. ____36
Fortunately, Chinese cities are finding creative ways to revive them. ____37 Instead, they are transformed into lively spaces like cafes, bookstores, or galleries. This creative reuse gives old structures new purposes while keeping their souls.

It’s more than a cafe; it’s a storyteller.
____39 Bagong’s House in Wuhan, a red-brick building from the early 1900s once used by Russian tea merchants, is now a high-end hotel preserving its facade. Inside, digital exhibitions showcase the ancient tea road history it witnessed. It also hosts talks and art shows, actively sharing its past with the public.
Bringing old buildings back to life takes creativity and a strong sense of responsibility. ____40 Every time an old building is brought back to life, a piece of cultural memory is saved, and part of the city’s story continues.

67. My sister and I were fond of going outside when we were free. Every time we went out, we felt we would get something different. One sunny weekend, my sister and I decided to go hiking. The forest welcomed us with sunlight spreading through the ancient trees, creating a golden peaceful scene on the forest floor. Soft and musical birdsong was heard in the distance, together with the gentle sound of leaves in the wind, forming a harmonious scene of nature.
As we walked deeper into the forest, a small, pearly-white cocoon on a tree caught our eyes. It shone in the sunlight, like a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. We bent down, our hearts beating with curiosity. Moments later, we saw a tiny struggle — a butterfly was trying to come out of the confined cocoon. Its little body moved violently within the confines of the cocoon, and we could see the shape of its wings, but it was seemingly trapped and couldn’t get away from the cocoon. Every push against the cocoon’s walls looked extremely painful, as if it was in a life-or-death battle.
I noticed that my sister’s eyes were filled with pity. “It seemingly suffers a lot,” she said in a low voice, and her hand was to reach out. I could see the conflict in her eyes — on one hand, the desire to relieve the butterfly’s suffering and to see its beautiful transformation, and on the other hand, the uncertainty of disturbing nature. I also hesitated and was lost in thought.
“Should we help the butterfly break out of its cocoon ” my sister broke the silence.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally we saw the butterfly break free from its cocoon after the natural transformation.

“Should we help the butterfly break out of its cocoon ” my sister broke the silence. I gently stopped her hand and explained patiently that the struggle was necessary for the butterfly’s wings to become strong enough to fly. If we intervened, it would never be able to soar. My sister felt a little upset but agreed to wait and watch quietly.
Finally we saw the butterfly break free from its cocoon after the natural transformation. It stretched its colorful wings slowly and flew lightly above the leaves. We stood there in amazement. This experience taught us a valuable truth: all growth and beauty come through necessary hardships, and we should never rush to remove others’ struggles for them.
