When 14-year-old Zhang Li from Chengdu felt stressed about her upcoming exams, she didn't turn to her phone or
video games. Instead, she picked up her knitting needles (编织针) and a ball of soft, blue wool.
"I'm making a scarf for my mom," Zhang Li explained, her fingers moving quickly. "The repeated movements are
very calming. When I focus on each stitch (针脚), I forget about my worries for a while."
Zhang Li is one of a growing number of Chinese teenagers who are discovering the benefits of traditional crafts like
knitting, embroidery (刺绣), and paper-cutting. These activities, once seen as old-fashioned, are becoming popular ways
to reduce stress and improve mental well-being.
Experts say there are good reasons for this trend. "Crafts require focus and patience," says Dr. Wang, a child
psychologist. "This kind of focus is similar to meditation. It helps calm the mind and reduce anxiety. Also, the feeling of
creating something with your own hands brings a sense of achievement."
Many schools have noticed this positive effect. The Sunshine Middle School in Shanghai started a "Mindful Crafts"
club last term. "We have over 60 students now, both boys and girls," said the club's teacher, Ms. Zhao. "They come to
relax, share their work and support each other. It's not just about the final product, but the peaceful process."
For Zhang Li, finishing the scarf for her mom was a proud moment. "Seeing her wear something I made with my
own hands makes me really happy," she smiled. "It's a much better feeling than getting a high score on a game."
16. Why did Zhang Li start knitting according to the passage
A. To make money for her family. B. To reduce her stress about school exams.
C. To prepare a gift for her mother's birthday. D. To learn a new skill from her grandmother.
17. What does the underlined word "meditation" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. A quiet activity that helps you relax and clear your thoughts
B. A fast-paced sport that improves physical strength
C. A type of loud music that energizes people
D. A game that requires quick thinking and competition
18. What do experts say about doing crafts like knitting
A. It helps calm the mind similar to meditation. B. It is mainly useful for creating beautiful things.
C. It is a modern way to communicate with friends. D. It is a waste of time that could be used for studying.
19. Which of the following is TRUE about the "Mindful Crafts" club
A. It was started by Dr. Wang, a child psychologist. B. It only accepts girls who are interested in knitting.
C. Students join it to relax and share their craft works. D. It pays more attention to the final products than the
process.
20. What can we infer (推断) from the passage
A. Most boys are not interested in traditional crafts.
B. Taking up traditional crafts helps improve students' grades.
C. Traditional crafts are becoming more popular than video games in China.
D. Doing crafts brings a greater sense of happiness than playing games for Zhang Li.
C
Have you ever seen a painting over 5 meters long Along the River During the Qingming Festival is one of China's
most famous traditional paintings. It was created by Zhang Zeduan, a talented artist from the Song Dynasty.
Unlike typical landscape paintings that focus on mountains and rivers, this artwork shows the daily life of ordinary

people. The scroll (卷轴) is like a "video" of ancient times. It shows a bustling (喧闹的) scene of Bianjing, the capital
city at that time. From farmers selling vegetables to businessmen trading goods, the painting perfectly captures the social
life of the Northern Song Dynasty.
One of the most interesting details is the "ancient delivery man." Near a hotel called "Shiqian Jiaodian", a man
wearing an apron (围裙) is rushing down the street. He's holding two bowls of rice in one hand and chopsticks in the
other. It's believed to be China's earliest image of a "food delivery guy." The food service industry was already highly
developed in the Song Dynasty!
Another highlight is the arch (拱形的) bridge. Under it, a large boat is struggling to pass through. The people on the
boat are shouting, while the boatmen on the shore are waving to guide them. The moments make the painting look alive -
as if we're watching real life from over 900 years ago.
Besides, the painting also hides clever business ideas. Near the hotel, "Shiqian Jiaodian", a lantern box with candles
inside hangs at the door--like a Northern Song "neon sign" (霓虹灯) - to attract customers at night. Also, some teahouses
even wrote dish names on their walls, creating the world's earliest "menu" to help guests order easily. These show how
lively and creative daily life was in Bianjing.
Today, the original painting is kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing. It's not just a piece of art; it's also a valuable
historical document (文献) that helps us learn about the life and culture of ancient China.
21. What is special about Along the River During the Qingming Festival compared with typical landscape paintings
A. It was painted in the Ming Dynasty. B. It is much shorter than other scrolls.
C. It focuses on the lives of common people. D. It only shows natural scenery.
22. Why does the writer mention the "ancient delivery man"
A. To show that people in the Song Dynasty liked fast food.
B. To show the food service industry was rather advanced then.
C. To explain how to become a delivery man.
D. To compare ancient food with modern food.
23. Which of the following is TRUE about the "Shiqian Jiaodian" in the painting
A. It was the only hotel that sold wine in Bianjing.
B. It provided free delivery service for all citizens.
C. It used a candle-lit lantern box as a sign to interest night customers.
D. It was a hotel that hung dish names on the wall to help guests order.
24. What can we know about the original painting in the last paragraph
A. It is the first or real version of the painting kept in Beijing. B. It is a copy made by a machine.
C. It is a picture drawn by a student. D. It is an old building in Beijing.
25. What is the best title of the passage
A. The history of the Song Dynasty.
B. The differences between ancient and modern delivery services.
C. How to run a hotel in ancient Bianjing.
D. A Scroll of Life: the story and details behind the famous painting.

In your email, you asked about body language in China. Let me tell you some tips.
When we meet people, we usually shake hands gently and smile. We don’t like standing too close. While talking, we’d
better look at each other to show respect. Don’t point at others with a finger. Also, keep your voice down in public.
I hope these tips help. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon!
Yours,
Li Hua
