This summer, the “Seeking Chinese Culture” program invites you to explore 12 unique traditional camps. Here are 4 highlights of our cultural journey designed to inspire the next generation.
Kung Fu Camp
Unlock your inner strength! Under the guidance of professional Shaolin masters, you will learn basic martial arts movements and the history of Kung Fu. Beyond physical training, you will explore the deep philosophy of balance and learn the importance of “Wude”, which emphasizes discipline and respect for others.
Peking Opera Camp
Step onto the grand stage and enter a world of color. You will discover the beauty of “Sheng, Dan, Jing, and Chou” roles through expert demonstrations.

A new study has found that breathing does more than just move air in and out of your lungs — it could even be used to identify who you are. Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct breathing pattern, known as a nasal (鼻的) breathing “fingerprint”, a unique pattern that reveals clues about a person’s physical and mental health. Notably, brain scientist Timna Soroka shared, “We were able to identify differences between less depressed and non-depressed individuals.”
The researchers originally set out to better understand how our sense of smell works. In humans, the brain processes smell during inhalation (吸入), and this close connection between the brain and breathing led the team to wonder: could our breathing patterns reflect the way our brains are wired — and be unique to each of us To explore this question, they developed a lightweight, wearable device that tracks nasal airflow continuously for 24 hours.
The study, published in the journal Current Biology, tested 100 healthy young adults as they went about their regular routines — running, studying, resting, and more. The results showed breathing patterns can identify individuals with 96.8 percent accuracy. “I thought it would be really hard to identify someone because everyone is doing different things,” said Soroka. “But it turns out their breathing patterns were remarkably distinct!”
Beyond individual identification, the study also found clear links between breathing patterns and body mass index (BMI), sleep-wake cycles, and mental health traits such as anxiety and depression. For example, people who scored higher on anxiety tests tended to have shorter inhalation periods. Importantly, the researchers noted that they only know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they don’t know the cause-and-effect direction — whether feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety. If the latter is true, changing how we breathe could potentially improve mood.
However, the current device has drawbacks: it uses soft tubes under the nose that can be uncomfortable to wear and may slip during sleep, and it doesn’t track mouth breathing. The team is working on improving the device and further exploring the breathing-mood connection to unlock more practical applications.
4. Why is breathing “fingerprint” mentioned

C．Their exact relationship remains unclear.
D．Breathing is responsible for negative mood.
7. What is the main finding of this research
A．Our fingerprints tell a lot about our health.
B．Breathing patterns link to identity and health.
C．A groundbreaking device reveals mental health.
D．Anxiety levels link to shorter inhalation periods.

It had been more than ten years since the three sisters had been together like this, their eyes filled with tears. The eldest sister, 110-year-old Rubye, stayed warm under a soft blanket. Her two younger sisters — 104-year-old Ruth and 101-year-old Rose — held one of her hands each. They chatted about their favorite old stories, laughing happily.
This warm family get-together was made possible by Wish of a Lifetime, a charity group. It paid for Rose to fly from Florida and Ruth from Oklahoma, so they could visit Rubye at her nursing home in Rhode Island. The group was started by Jeremy Bloom, a former Olympic skier and football player. When he traveled around the world as an athlete, he found that people in other countries respected and cared for old people much more than people did in America.
Bloom first got the idea when he was 15. He went to Asia for a ski race and saw an old woman walking slowly to get on a bus. Many passengers offered to help her, which touched him deeply. The idea stayed in his mind for ten years before he turned it into the Wish of a Lifetime group: Though Bloom had many great moments in sports — competing in two Olympics, making a long football pass in college, and being chosen by a top football team, he often worried about finding a new goal after his sports career ended.
In 2008, Bloom set up the charity group. He copied the idea of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which helps sick kids make their wishes come true, and used it to help old people. whether they were sick or not.
Today, Wish of a Lifetime has 26 full-time workers and about 25,000 volunteers across the country. It gets money from people’s donations and company support. So far, it has helped make 3,000 wishes come true. Bloom now works as the CEO of X Games, but he once spent all his time on this charity, hoping to change-as-many-old-people’s lives as possible.
8. What made the three sisters’ get-together possible
A．A charity group provided financial support for their trip.
B．The three sisters saved money for the reunion for years.
C．Rubye’s nursing home offered free accommodation for her sisters.
D．Local volunteers helped the two younger sisters go to Rhode Island.
9. Who first inspired Jeremy Bloom to have the idea of setting up the charity
A．A passenger who helped him on a bus in Asia.
B．An elderly woman he saw in Asia during a ski race.
C．His coach who encouraged him to help the elderly
D．A volunteer from the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
10. What can we infer about Jeremy Bloom from the text
A．He learned the charity concept from his family members.
B．He came up with the charity idea when he was 25 years old.
C．He gave up his sports career to concentrate on running the charity.
D．He once felt uncertain about his future after his sports career ended.
11. What can be concluded about Wish of a Lifetime from the passage
A．It aims to improve elderly people’s medical conditions.
B．It totally depends on Jeremy Bloom’s personal efforts.
C．It draws inspiration from a well-known charity for children.
D．It has realized most senior citizens’ long-cherished wishes.

David Uttal a scientist at Northwestern University, has always been poor at finding his way. At 13, he got lost on a Boy Scout hike for two and a half days. The world is full of people like Uttal and their opposites, the folks who always seem to know exactly where they are and how to get where they want to go.
These differences are clear, but explaining them has proved challenging. Now, research using virtual (虚拟) reality suggests that to some degree, navigational (导航的) skills are shaped by upbringing.
A 2020 study stressed this. The researchers compared the performance of more than 2,600 twins as they navigated through a virtual environment to test whether navigational ability runs in families. It does, they found — but only slightly. Instead, the biggest contributor to people’s performance was what geneticists (基因学家) call “nonshared environmental factors” — the unique experiences each person acquires as he grows. Good navigators, it appears, are mostly made, not born.
Another larger experiment provided further proof. Researchers developed a smartphone game, “Sea Hero Quest” in which players navigate through a virtual environment to locate checkpoints. Based on data from nearly four million players worldwide, they discovered that cultural factors were linked to wayfinding skills. People from Nordic countries, where the navigation sport of orienteering is popular, performed slightly better.
Results like these suggest that life experience may be one of the biggest factors of navigational ability. Indeed, experience may even act as one of the most common findings in navigation: that men tend to perform better than women. Turns out this gender (性别) difference is more a question of culture and experience than of born ability. Nordic countries, for example, where gender equality is greatest, show almost no gender difference in navigation. However, men far outperform women in places where women face cultural limits on exploring their environment.
To Uttal, these findings carry an optimistic meaning. “The good news is that navigation is trainable” he notes, “It’s never too late to become a better navigator. You just need to give yourself opportunities to explore and pay attention to your environment.”
12. What did the 2020 study on twins reveal about navigational ability
A．It is largely decided by genes.
B．It is learned through experience.
C．It varies little among individuals.
D．It remains unchanged in a person’s life.
13. How was the “Sea Hero Quest” experiment carried out
A．By testing brain activity during play
B．By observing how players navigate.
C．By comparing the Nordics with others.
D．By studying smartphone game data.
14. Why do men often outperform women in navigation
A．Men benefit from practicing sports.
B．Women lack interest in doing so.
C．Men have stronger space memory.
D．Women have fewer chances to explore.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．What Can “Sea Hero Quest” Teach Us
B．Why Do Some People Always Get Lost
C．How Does VR Improve Navigational Skills
D．Who Are Better Navigators: Men or Women

Why Your Brain Prefers Junk Food
Have you ever wondered why a bag of chips is so much more appealing than an apple The answer lies not in your willpower but in your brain’s ancient reward system. Over millions of years, human brains evolved to seek out high-calorie foods because they provided the energy needed for survival. 16
Modern food companies have learned to use this biological weakness. By combining salt, sugar, and fat in precise ratios, they create what scientists call “highly appealing” foods. These foods cause a much stronger dopamine(多巴胺) release in the brain than natural foods do. 17 As a result, you find yourself reaching for another cookie even when you are not hungry.
18 Long-term exposure to highly appealing foods can actually rewire your brain's reward circuits. Over time, you need more and more of these foods to feel the same level of pleasure. This is similar to how drug addiction develops. Meanwhile, natural foods like vegetables begin to taste less satisfying by comparison.
So how can you fight back against your own brain 19 If you keep unhealthy snacks out of sight or simply do not buy them, you reduce the constant temptation. Another powerful strategy is mindful eating — paying full attention to the taste, texture, and smell of each bite. This practice helps your brain relearn to appreciate natural flavors.
Understanding the neuroscience of food preference does not mean you are powerless. 20 Small, consistent changes in your daily habits can gradually help your brain learn to prefer healthier options. The key is patience, not punishment.
A．One effective method is to change your food environment.
B．Fortunately, you can use this knowledge to your advantage.
C．Traveling boosts happiness and satisfaction
D．Here are the benefits of discovery, near and far
E．A leisurely walk can help calm your mind and spirit
F．New experiences can often bring forth new challenges
G．Traveling offers a great relief from the stress that comes from work and daily demands
16.___ 17.___ 18.___ 19.___ 20.___

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Bud joined us when his original owner couldn’t keep him. In the few months he’d been with us, we came to love the lovely dog, and we all knew that he loved us, too.
But he’d developed one habit in his former life: no amount of coaxing (试图劝诱) could make him come into the house.
“Some dogs prefer to stay outside,” I explained to the kids on those summer nights when Bud slept in our yard. Now, with winter coming, I worried how Bud would stay warm outside. I kept wondering what kind of doghouse I could build for Bud. I turned the problem over in my mind every day, but winter was almost upon us and I still didn’t know where to start.
One night I got home from work exhausted. I fell into bed and had a dream. It felt so real. I was in a forest, trees surrounding me on all sides. A giant man, as tall as the trees, stepped slowly out of the woods. He looked like an old-fashioned woodsman from a fairy tale. The woodsman looked down at me and smiled, then began to speak. Not with words exactly—but I understood him.
He was giving me instructions on how to build a box. He gave me the exact dimensions how wide, how long and how high. Coat the box with pitch (沥青), inside and out, to weatherproof (防风防雨) it. There was a lot of information, but somehow I felt sure I’d remember it all. His message delivered, he disappeared into the trees. What a dream! It stayed with me all day.
That weekend I got a call from my brother. “A friend has offered me some wood. Do you need some I’ll share some with you.” “Sure,” I said, thinking this might be exactly the wood I needed.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I thanked my brother and hurried over to pick up the wood that afternoon.

书信范文 Sports Shape Souls
Beyond strengthening our bodies, sports play a vital role in refining our character and shaping our inner spirits, which I have deeply realized through my own sports experience.
I have kept long-distance running for years. At first, exhausted by continuous tiredness, I often wanted to give up. Nevertheless, I insisted on daily training and never backed down. Gradually, I became more disciplined and strong-willed. Whenever I encounter academic difficulties, the persistent spirit gained from running motivates me to move forward bravely.
In short, sports truly polish our souls. The precious qualities it brings will equip us with enough courage and confidence to face future challenges in life and study.

One possible version:
I thanked my brother and hurried over to pick up the wood that afternoon.
With the detailed instructions from my strange dream in mind, I spent the whole weekend cutting boards, assembling the frame and coating the doghouse with pitch. Every measurement was strictly followed to make sure it was wind-proof and warm enough for cold winter days. When I finished the last nail, a sturdy, well-built doghouse stood quietly in the yard, which looked so beautiful and satisfied all the family members.
We took Bud to see the newly-built doghouse. At first, Bud wandered around it cautiously, sniffing the wood here and there. To our surprise, after a moment's hesitation, he stepped inside slowly and lay down comfortably. He seemed very happy to have the new house. From that day on, Bud had his own warm shelter, and the whole family was relieved that he could safely get through the coming winter.
