Last night, one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music. The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. 1 But under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain. The piece had a simple name, “Erquan Yingyue”, but it was one of the most moving pieces of music that I’d ever heard.
2 Abing was a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. His mother died when he was very young. Abing’s father taught him to play many musical instruments. However, after his father died, Abing’s life grew worse. He was very poor. He developed a serious illness and became blind. For several years, he had no home. He lived on the streets and played music to make money. 3
Abing’s amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime. By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music. Many of these were written by Abing himself. It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear. 4 Today, Abing’s “Erquan Yingyue” is a piece which all the great erhu masters play and praise. It has become one of China’s national treasures.
People believe his touching stories are great. 5 His beautiful music will also be loved by more and more people in the future. It is more than just a piece of music, but a timeless voice that tells the story of a life and touches the soul of every listener.
A．The music was written by Abing.
B．The music was strangely beautiful.
C．But his popularity continues to this day.
D．He performed in this way for many years.
E．100 pieces of Abing’s music were recorded.
F．They will be remembered by people around the world.
G．Abing learned all musical instruments by himself.

Do trees have memories This may seem like a strange question, but trees can actually tell us things about the past. 16 These rings are the memories of trees; holding many secrets from the forest.
Every year a tree grows, a new ring forms. 17 They also study tree rings to learn about climate and the environment, for tree rings serve as a climate record. Wide rings are a good sign, showing the tree grew well with enough sun and rain. 18 With such ring patterns, scientists can find out climate change in certain places.
19 A black mark on tree rings usually means a forest fire once broke out. By counting rings from the black area, scientists can work out when the fire happened and how often forest fires took place.
Besides nature, tree rings help us explore human history. Scientists use ring patterns to learn the age of old buildings. Nowadays, they can even study the chemicals in rings—to find out the exact time when trees were cut. 20
It’s amazing that trees can record so much information about our world, even though they cannot talk.
A．If there is little rainfall, the tree grows slowly and its rings become narrow.
B．Trees can grow taller when they get enough sunshine.
C．When a tree is cut down, you can see something special inside: rings.
D．Scientists can count the rings to tell a tree’s age.
E．Tree rings also help scientists research natural disasters.
F．Scientists have found that forest fires are the most common disaster in old forests.
G．Using this new method, people found a Viking village in Canada was built in 1021.

Have you ever wondered why our memory can keep repeated actions so well 21 When we repeat an action many times, our memory stores it, and our brain builds special connections, which strengthen our memory.
To understand how different parts of memory work together, researchers conducted (实施) an experiment on mice. 22 If they turned left, they got tasty chocolate milk as a prize. If they turned right, they only got sugar water. Over weeks of training, the mice always chose the correct direction.
This is not just coincidence (巧合). When we first learn a new skill, certain areas of the brain are highly active, which makes the brain build new connections—the start of a memory. These brain areas help turn repeated actions into lasting memory. At first this memory is weak, but when we repeat the actions over and over again, our memory becomes stronger. The more we practise, the deeper the memory becomes. 23
The researchers tested this idea in the mice experiment as well. 24 They removed the chocolate milk to see whether the mice would still follow the old routine. Even when there was no tasty drink waiting for them, the mice still ran the same way without thinking. The mice had formed such a strong habit that it was hard to break.
25 Once a habit is formed, it’s difficult to change. So we should start building good ones early and stick to them with regular practice.
A．Finally, repeated actions become a habit.
B．They hoped mice would find new ways to get drinks.
C．They wanted to know if habits could be broken easily.
D．This is because they leave deep memories inside our brain.
E．The mice were trained to run through a tunnel to get a drink.
F．From the experiment, we learn that memory shapes our habits.
G．A good memory can help us save time and energy in our daily lives.

Parent-child conflict is one of the most common teenage problems. Many teenagers feel their parents don’t understand them. 31 In fact, good communication can solve most family problems.

The teachers are worried that young children are becoming too interested in smartphones or computers and are losing their ability to make simple things with their hands. 36
“I have talked with many teachers. They find more and more young students can skillfully use computers or phones, but they hardly have practical skills to create things by themselves. Worse still, some of them are not good at getting along with people around them. 37 But surprisingly, their parents feel proud because their kids know well how to use digital devices,” said Colin Kinney, an experienced teacher.
Nowadays, after school and on weekends, most children prefer to stay at home playing tablets rather than go out to play with the children of the same age. 38 As a result, they will find it much harder to build friendships when they grow up.
If kids never learn to hold a paintbrush or develop creative skills, how can they achieve success in the future 39 Technology itself is not something bad for kids. However, basic social skills are still of great importance for children, which help them get along well with others as they grow older.
40 In the same way, digital technology can bring good or bad results. Teachers should guide students to make proper decisions so that they can get positive experiences.
A．Many can’t communicate with other students.
B．It’s important to eat healthy food and do exercise every day.
C．They do not learn to communicate with others at a young age.
D．It’s necessary to know how to use technology in today’s world.
E．We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house.
F．Computers and smartphones are useful in our daily life.
G．They can’t make toys themselves.

Mental health plays a key role in teenagers’ growth and development. However, an increasing number of students are facing problems like study anxiety, sleep shortage, and Internet addiction. 41 . Taking action to protect teenagers’ mental health has become a top concern for schools and families.
Reducing academic pressure is essential. Too many exams and heavy homework often make students feel stressed. Schools are using different ways to solve this problem. For example, setting “no-homework days” and stopping grade ranking can give students more space to relax. 42 .
Good sleep and exercise are closely linked to mental health. 43 . Schools are now arranging longer break time and “sweaty” PE classes to encourage exercise.
44 . Families should create a warm environment for children to express themselves. Talking with parents regularly and sharing feelings can help students feel understood. Many schools also hold parent classes to teach families how to build good relationships with kids.
Schools are also building a support network. Teachers are learning to notice early signs of mental trouble in students. 45 . There are also “AI mental assistants” and hotlines to provide quick help when needed.
Caring for one’s mental health takes time and patience—with the right backing, all students can grow up soundly.
A．They work with psychologists to give timely help to those in need
B．Doing sports for at least 2 hours a day can help release pressure, while getting enough sleep keeps the mind clear
C．It’s impossible for students to avoid all kinds of stress
D．These problems can stop students from developing well
E．Parents should never care about their kid’s test scores
F．Family support is another important factor
G．Schools are also taking steps to make exams easier and less common, aiming to reduce stress

Teenage life: better now, or in the past
Does this situation sound familiar
You’re complaining (抱怨) to your parents about something. Maybe your computer isn’t powerful enough to play games. 46 Then you hear “When I was your age, there weren’t any computers or video games. And I didn’t get a bike until I was 16. It was second-hand. 47 ”
So is it really true that life is better for teenagers now It is surely true that many teenagers have got more things nowadays. 48 That means parents have fewer children to raise. So parents have got more money to spend on each child. And many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children.
49 Forty years ago, no one could imagine a world with computers and amazing smartphones. And now these things are necessary—We can’t imagine life without them!
However, technology often means we spend more time at home. And often it’s just us with our computers or televisions. Teenagers don’t do enough exercise. 50 Although young people still get on well with their friends, some people think teenagers today don’t have so many social activities as the teenagers in the past.
What do you think Is teenage life better these days
A．And it was too big for me.
B．Life was not easy in the past.
C．A typical family is smaller now.
D．You get very unhappy with this.
E．Or your friends’ bikes are better than yours.
F．So they aren’t as healthy as the teenagers in the past.
G．Technology is probably the greatest change in our life.

Making a short film used to require expensive equipment and professional skills. 51 The process (过程) is simple and exciting. Here is how to get started.
First, you need a story. Think about an interesting experience or a creative idea. A simple and clear plot is the best beginning.
52 A script describes the scenes and dialogues. You can use an AI writing tool to help you. Just type in your main idea, and the AI will produce a draft (草稿). You can then change it and make it your own.
After the script is ready, create the pictures and videos. AI tools let you turn words into visuals. Describe a scene, such as “a girl walking in a forest at sunset”. 53
Then, add a voice and music. AI voice tools can read your script in a natural voice, and AI music tools can create background music that fits the feeling of each scene. 54
Finally, put everything together. Use a simple editing app to arrange the clips, voices, and music in order. You can also add titles. Once you finish, you will feel proud of your work.
55 Pick up your phone or turn on your computer, and let your imagination fly. Your first short film is waiting to be made.
A．Next, write a simple script.
B．This brings your story to life.
C．Then the AI will create it for you.
D．AI has opened the door to filmmaking for everyone.

Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately (热烈地) curious.” His words show an important idea: curiosity can lead people to ask questions and search for answers. 56 In fact, many great ideas in history began with a simple question.
For example, Zhang Heng, an ancient Chinese scientist, was curious about how the world worked. He often wondered how the Sun, Moon and stars moved. 57 After years of study, he drew an early star map and made a machine that could tell the direction of an earthquake. His curiosity helped him turn questions into useful ideas.
Benjamin Franklin is another example. He wanted to know more about electricity, so he spent much time studying it. 58 For example, he once flew a kite during a storm to learn more about lightning. Later, he invented the lightning rod.
However, curiosity does not always bring success at once. Wan Hu of the Ming Dynasty dreamed of flying into the sky. He tried to make a “flying chair”, but the test failed. 59 Even so, his wish to explore the unknown was remembered by people many years later.
These stories show that curiosity is more than wanting to know something. It encourages us to look carefully, ask questions, study and try. 60 When we stay curious, even an ordinary question may open a new door to learning and discovery.
A．People can learn many things by taking notes.
B．Curiosity is often the first step towards new ideas.
C．To find answers, he did more than just read books.
D．This question led him to study the sky more carefully.
E．It also gives us courage to explore what we do not know.
F．His story shows exploration doesn’t always lead to success.

You may know the saying “When the Eight Immortals (神) cross the sea, each shows their special power.” But who are these eight immortals
The new movie All Wishes Come True! offers a fresh story. 61 At the beginning of the movie, Zhongli Quan was wrongly forced to live as a thief. One day, his younger friend, Lyu Dongbin, invites him to steal a powerful lamp from the palace of three immortals. Along the way, they meet six other companions (同伴), including He Xiangu. Together, they set out on a dangerous journey.
62 Zhongli Quan is usually known as a kind elder with a round belly and a magic fan. In the movie, however, he becomes a “loser” with a hard life, but he still tries to hold the team together and find himself again. 63 The movie keeps his scholarly (有书卷气的) look while shaping him into a quiet, calm hero who protects ordinary people. He Xiangu, the only female immortal, often carries a lotus, a symbol of purity. In the movie, she becomes a brave warrior with strong fighting skills, showing the strength of independent women.
At first, most of the eight are selfish and only care about money. 64 The eight decide to fight together and become true gods in the end. But the movie doesn’t focus on their power. 65 Through their actions, they prove one truth: the kindness inside every common person can make a big difference.
A．It shows how important courage and responsibility are.
B．But later, Zhongli remembers his wish to save common people.
C．The movie also has many beautiful songs and exciting fight scenes.
D．Lyu Dongbin is usually a handsome scholar with a magic sword (剑).
E．What makes this movie special is how it reshapes these familiar characters.
F．Instead of retelling the old folk story, it explores the lives of the eight common people before they become gods.

The baby books were sad. The big books were laughing at them. “You can hardly call yourselves books. You almost have no writing and are just all pictures!!” said one book with lots of pages written in tiny letters. “ 86 ”

Chopsticks were first used in China and then introduced to other areas in the world. 91 Here are 3 things to know about them.
When were chopsticks invented
Long long time ago, Chinese ancestors actually also used hands to eat. About 3,000 years ago during the Shang Dynasty, Chinese people started to use chopsticks. During the pre-Qin period, chopsticks were called “Jia”. 92 Because “Zhu” shares the same pronunciation with “stop” in Chinese, which is an unlucky word, by the Ming Dynasty, people began to call them “Kuai”, meaning “fast” in Chinese. 93
Who invented chopsticks
94 One is that Jiang Ziya was inspired to create chopsticks by a mythical bird. Another one is that Daji, the favorite consort (妃子) of King Zhou of Shang, invented chopsticks in order to please the king. It is also said that Yu the Great, who founded the Xia Dynasty, used sticks to pick up hot food in order to save time to control floods. So, chopsticks came into being.
95
When eating with the elders, Chinese people usually let the elders take up chopsticks before anyone else. Besides, playing with chopsticks is thought to be a bad manner. It’s also impolite to tap chopsticks on the edge of one’s bowl, because in ancient China, beggars often did it to attract attention.
A．What should we pay attention to when using chopsticks
B．What else should we know about the history of chopsticks
C．And in the Qin and Han dynasties, they were called “Zhu”.
D．This is the origin (起源) of today’s name of Chinese chopsticks.
E．Chopsticks are thought to be one of the symbols of Chinese food culture.
F．The invention of chopsticks plays a very important role in Chinese history.
G．There is no exact historical record about the question, but there are many folk stories about it.

Giving Directions in Different Places
If you ask people from different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office ”, you will get different answers.
In Japan, people use landmarks instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. 96 The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, “Go north two miles. 97 ”
People in Greece sometimes don’t even try to give directions. They’ll often say, “Follow me.” 98
Sometimes if a person doesn’t know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” 99 They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!
100 You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction and you may find the post office!
A．Turn east, and then go another mile.
B．But one thing will help you everywhere.
C．People there think “I don’t know” is not polite.
D．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.
E．Because they don’t want to talk much with strangers.
F．Then he or she will take you through the streets of the city to the post office.
G．People in that area don’t like to talk with strangers.
