Every year, wildfires destroy tens of thousands of square kilometers of forest land. People lose their homes. Some are hurt or even killed. Smokejumpers help to stop this. Smokejumpers are special firefighters. Some fires are in hard-to-reach places, such as in the middle of a mountain forest. These firefighters jump from planes or are lowered into those areas by helicopters (直升机).
When they arrive, smokejumpers first check the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main job is to stop the fire from spreading until other firefighters arrive. Smokejumpers use shovels (铲子) or axes (斧头) to clear the land of burnable things, like dry grass and dead trees. They carry water with them too, but not a lot.
Although most smokejumpers are men, more women are joining now. The most important factors (因素) are height and weight. Smokejumpers in the U.S., for example, must be between 54 and 91 kilograms. This way, they don’t get blown away by the strong winds or get hurt when they land. Smokejumpers also need to know how to survive in the wild. In Russia, many smokejumpers know how to find food in the forest and can even make simple furniture from trees.
The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for these firefighters, smokejumping isn’t just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires and live in the forest. Alexi Tishin is a 28-year-old Russian smokejumper. He says, “This is the best job for tough guys (硬汉).”
30．After reaching a fire site, a smokejumper first ________.
A．clears the land B．looks for water
C．checks the land D．calls other firefighters
31．If you want to be a smokejumper in the U.S., you must ________.
A．be a strong man B．be able to fly planes
C．be at least 28 years old D．weigh between 54 and 91 kilograms

C．Why people become smokejumpers.
D．Who smokejumpers are and what they do.

Yunjin is a beautiful brocade (锦缎) made in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Yun in Chinese means clouds and jin means brocade. The materials used in yunjin are valuable, such as silk, gold and silver, resulting in its high collecting value.
Yunjin, with a history of over 1,600 years, has the best quality among all the brocades in China. It stands for the finest Chinese silk cloth. The brocade comes out from a traditional wooden loom (织布机) as big as 5.6 meters long, 1.4 meters wide and 4 meters high. The huge loom needs two people to work, one above and one below. The process is so long and difficult that a brocade with a length of 5 to 6 centimeters takes two people all day to make and the production cannot be replaced with modern machines. Its pictures are large in shape and the use of gold and silver makes them rich and shining. In ancient times, yunjin served as materials for royal family’s clothes and to beautify their palaces. It was also used as gifts for important foreign guests.
With the development of technology and changes in people’s lifestyle, young people have less interest in traditional arts which require a long time of learning and practicing. To pass down the skills of yunjin, the Chinese government set up Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute in 1957, which has helped spread the culture of brocade and built a cultural bridge between China and the world.
39．Why does yunjin have a high collecting value
A．Because it has a long history.
B．Because it has the best quality.
C．Because it is made of valuable materials.

40．The Chinese government set up Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute to ________.

A．It takes 5 to 6 days to make.
B．It interests more people to learn it.
C．It has large, rich and shining pictures.
D．It can be made by modern machines.

Healthy Body, Healthy Mind
①We all know exercise is important, but we don’t always want to do it! Often we are too busy or feel lazy. We should try our best to exercise every day.
②Exercise is good for our body. When we exercise, our body changes. Exercise develops our muscles and makes us stronger. When we exercise, we use energy. This keeps our weight down.

Scientists also tell us the body makes more of certain chemicals (化学物质) after exercise. This helps us to learn and think well. So, when you have trouble with your homework, do some exercise, then try again!
④Exercise also helps us to feel happier. When we exercise, our brain makes special chemicals. These chemicals can relax our body and calm (冷静) our mind. Feeling fit can also make us feel better and more confident about ourselves. When we play a sport with others, we can even make new friends.

Turning Pencil Tips into Delicate Sculptures At his home in Egypt, 30-year-old Ibrahim Bilal displayed different sculptures (雕刻品) made with pencil tips (尖端). The man started to do this four years ago after watching videos of a Chinese artist carving pencil lead (铅笔芯) into sculptures. Through Ibrahim’s hands, landmarks across the world such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and famous people like European footballer and Liverpool Mohamed Sarah appear on the pencil tips. The size of each sculpture is no more than 6 mm and each takes about 10 hours to finish. ____________________________ Colorful felt (毛毡) flowers have been “planted” at different street corners throughout Guangzhou, Guangdong Province.

Can you live through the hot summer without an air conditioner Maybe your answer is “No!” But how did people in ancient China drive the heat away Hand fans were almost the only help.
China has been making hand fans for more than 3,000 years. Hand fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made of different kinds of materials. The earliest form of fans was the feather fans in the Shang Dynasty. Cattail leaf fans (蒲扇) were cheap and easy to make and they were the most useful kind for everyone. Sandalwood fans (檀香扇) could send out a sweet smell.
Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool people down. They developed into artworks, in which round fans and folding fans were the most common.
Round fans were usually made of silk. They had beautiful embroidery (刺绣) on them. Women liked to use them. In ancient China, people often compared a woman’s deserted life to round fans, for fans are no longer needed when summer is over. Nalan Xingde once wrote, “If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans ”
People used folding fans. These fans were usually made of paper and people could paint and write poems (诗词) on them. It was a way for them to show off their talents.
Today, Chinese people still use these fans. So the next time you use a fan, you may think of the stories behind it.

Look at the works of art in the picture. Shao Lujie, a 29-year-old craftsman (手艺人) from Zhejiang, created them.
Shao’s craft is known as quilling(盘纸), which has a long history. It is a form of art that uses long thin strips(条)of paper that are rolled, shaped and glued together to create artworks.
Since Shao was a child, he has loved painting and handicrafts. Having learned quilling in 2016 from a master of the art, Shao has been devoting himself completely to the craft. Shao started his own business after a three-year apprenticeship(学徒期)when he was 23. He began by imitating the works of his teachers but before long, he learned how to create his own works with new methods. “During this process, I found that this paper art handicraft can show the features of both painting and different design elements(元素). I hope to find new developments in this handicraft,” Shao said. Shao’s works mainly feature flowers and other plants. In recent years, Shao has worked hard to develop cultural and creative products with local characteristics, hoping to make more progress in quilling.
“Quilling is not well-known nationwide, and it can only be seen in a few places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces,” Shao said. To get more young people interested in quilling, Shao has gone online. “Usually I like to write articles about this art and post pictures of my latest works on social media,” he said. He hopes to open an exhibition(展览)hall in the future so that more people can learn about the craft and pass it down to future generations.

Can you believe horse tails can make clothes Sui women in Guizhou were the first to use horsehair in clothes.
The thread (绣线) is special. It mixes horsehair with other threads. This makes the thread both colorful and strong. More than 2,000 years ago, Sui people began using horsehair for embroidery (刺绣). Women sewed (绣) it on straps for carrying babies. They thought horses would protect their children and bring them wealth (财富).
Today, Sui women put embroidery on clothes and shoes. They create patterns (花样) like butterflies, birds, fish, and the sun. In Sui villages, most women who do embroidery are over 40 years old. They learned the skills from their mothers when they were young. To save this tradition, some people are teaching it to others now. One piece of work may take over a year—even for skilled workers. But many Sui people still work hard to protect and pass down this special culture.

School backpacks have been a hot topic in China recently. Some Chinese parents buy hard cover school backpacks from Japan, although they can be as expensive as 5,000 yuan, reports Chinese newspaper Urban Express. These backpacks are popular because the hard cover helps hold books in place. This can help kids keep their balance and protect their spines (脊柱). But in fact, the bags can hardly fit in the students’ desks.
A good backpack is important for children’s health. “It can relieve (减轻) pressure from the shoulders,” says Dr. Rob Danoff from the US. He also says students need a backpack that’s made for the child’s size. Cushioned (加垫的) backs and shoulder straps (带子) will help them keep the pain away.
However, the biggest problem for school backpacks is that they are too heavy, noted Hou Weiguang, a doctor in Chengdu. In China, students have many textbooks and exercise books. “The weight makes many kids suffer from side-bending (侧弯的) spines,” Hou said. He suggests that backpack should be no more than 15 percent of a child’s body weight to avoid pain or injury. That means if a student weighs 50 kg, the backpack should be less than 7.5 kg.
Parents need to make sure their kids only carry what they need. Schools and governments need to help too, added Zheng Yongshun, an education official from Hong Kong.
He said schools should offer locker (储物柜) space and shared books so kids can carry fewer books.

Children spend too much time on smartphones and computers now. They are at risk (风险) of a lifetime of health problems, such as obesity (肥胖症) and eye problems, according to a study.
The study was carried out by World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF, 世界癌症研究基金会) in the UK. It found some actions — like looking at a smartphone or an iPad for a long time — are among the causes of obesity. It shows that obesity has something to do with several kinds of cancer, but physical activities can make that risk low.
“New technologies (科技) make people spend a lot more time sitting long, such as sitting in cars, watching television and using computers, smartphones and so on,” the study said. “Less exercise has caused a number of health problems like breathing difficulty, a racing heart, poor bones (骨头) and stress.”
According to the study, 14.1 million people across the world had cancer in 2012 and 8.2 million died from cancer, but about 40% of the cancer cases (病例) can be prevented. “This global cancer burden (负担) will increase to 21.7 million cases and 13 million deaths by 2030,” it said.

When you go out for a walk or a jog (慢跑), do you notice the rubbish on the road Maybe a plastic bottle, a piece of paper, or an empty can. We all know that some rubbish does harm to the environment. But do you actually stop to pick it up
A new sport called “plogging” is encouraging people to do exactly that. The word “plogging” comes from “jogging” and the Swedish phrase (瑞典语) “plocka upp”, which means “pick up”. The idea is simple: pick up rubbish while you are jogging!
It all started in 2016 when Erik Ahlstr m, a runner, moved from a small town in northern Sweden to Stockholm. He was upset to see so much rubbish during his daily runs. So, he invented the word “plogging” and created a website called Plogga to encourage people to start plogging. Today, plogging has become a global sport. Since 2021, the World Plogging Championship has been held annually in Italy. In the 2024 event, over 80 ploggers from 13 countries took part and collected over 1,200 kilograms of rubbish.
Plogging is also great for your health, as you’re running and squatting (蹲) to pick up rubbish, which burns more calories than just jogging. It can also be a fun social activity if you invite others to join in. Together, you can make a big contribution to the environment.
Of course, not everyone likes jogging. But you can combine picking up rubbish with almost any other outdoor activity. According to the Plogga website, you can plog while cycling, skateboarding, or even just walking—any way you like to get outside and move.
86．How does the writer start the passage
A．By telling a story. B．By listing numbers.
C．By asking questions. D．By showing an example.
87．What do we know about Erik Ahlstr m
A．He was born in Stockholm, Sweden.
B．He started a website to spread his idea.
C．He invented “plogging” to keep healthy.
D．He joined the 2024 World Plogging Championship.
88．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．How plogging developed and improved.
B．What problems might plogging bring about.
C．Why plogging has become a global activity.
D．How plogging helps people and the environment.
89．What is the purpose of the passage

It’s time to meet the winners of this year’s Spark Invent It Challenge! This year’s challenge is to create an invention that makes sports safer, more fun, and easier for everyone! Here are the first three inventions! Remember to visit our Challenge website to vote (投票) for your favourites!
Glo Zone
6-year-old Kabir from California came up with this cool invention after being hit by four adults on a ski trip! To make night skiing (especially for kids) safer, he created Glo Zone, a fun glowing (发光的) rainbow umbrella that can be fixed onto the skier’s helmets. Others were amazed by how he carefully tested his invention and took feedback from other kids. Kabir says, “Glo Zone not only lights up the user but also creates a ’glow zone’around it. Glo Zone keeps other skiers from hitting kids.”
Skate Shoes “DOOD”
It’s the worst when you ruin your shoes during exercise! Luckily, 17-year-old Rommel from Mexico has made cheap, environmentally-friendly skate shoes. These shoes have a special design: their parts can be taken off and replaced. So if one part breaks, you don’t have to throw away the whole pair. Just change the broken part into a new one. Skaters can also exchange the soles to suit different types of tricks and moves.
The HIVE
Inventors Brayden and Eli were members of the team that won the challenge last year. Together with Charlotte and Cailey, they have created The HIVE, a VR sports portal (体育平台) for people of all abilities. The team went to Bill Hannigan for advice. He is a member of the US Paralympics bobsled team who uses a wheelchair. He said, “I think something like this is so nice. If they can do something at home to keep them going, to keep their minds fresh, to feel a part of something, that would be great.”
