Welcome to Colour Walks!
This is a fun and relaxing outdoor activity for you to enjoy the beauty around you. Colour walks are easy — you do not need to bring anything special. Just choose one colour before you go out, then walk through the streets and find things in that colour. Take photos of what you find. This simple act starts a relaxing journey and helps you find small, beautiful moments in daily life.All these walks are free and easy to start. That is what we value most.

● Walk for about 15 to 20 minutes. Only look for objects in your chosen colour. Leave other thoughts behind and enjoy the moment.
● You may walk alone or with friends. Share your photos and feelings after the walk.
● Stay safe on the road. Do not use your phone for other things while walking — if you want to take a photo, stop in a safe place first. Watch out for cars and bikes.

The Green Planet, a new BBC film about nature, gives us a surprising look at plants. It came out on January 10, and people can watch it online. The film tells us about the amazing ways that plants live.
____ In some hot and wet forests, different plants fight for sunlight. The ground under the trees is like a "battlefield (战场)", since only 2% of the sunlight reaches the ground. Some plants open up their big leaves to get more light. At the same time, they are covered by thin plants that try to climb higher for light. But one kind of tree grows faster, because it has slippery (湿滑的) hairs on its leaves. Other plants can't cling to it.
Plants also help each other and even "talk". In dry places, the roots of some trees are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others. Studies show that plants use small living things in the earth to communicate. If one plant gets ill, it can tell nearby plants so that they can protect themselves from the illness.
The film helps us understand that plants are important. "Plants are necessary for all life. We depend on them for food and air," said David. It's time to look after wild plants as carefully as our house plants.
(1)、Which of the following can be put in "____"?A、Plants can also send messages. B、Take the fight for sunlight as an example. C、Trees share water with others. D、David said so.(2)、What does the underlined word "cling" in Paragraph 3 mean?A、Stick. B、Knock. C、Return. D、Hold.(3)、How do some trees help each other in dry places?A、By opening up their big leaves. B、By fighting for more sunlight together. C、By climbing higher together to get more sunlight. D、By sharing water through connected roots.(4)、What can we learn from David's words?A、We should only grow plants in our houses. B、Wild plants are more important than house plants. C、Plants are very important to all life on Earth. D、She worked out the Earth's shape when she was at college.(5)、What is the best title for the passage?A、How to Grow Plants B、Plants Are More Than Quiet C、How to Look After Wild Plants D、Plants Fight to Survive in Forests5. 左栏是五位学生遇到的问题,右栏是七条建议,请为每位学生匹配恰当的建议。Tom loves ballet.

The Big Debate
Youth Weekly, June 17, 2026
Is it better to choose a job for yourself or to help others?
Now, many young people face a difficult choice when planning their future careers. Last week, we invited our readers to vote on whether they would choose a job mainly for themselves or mainly to help others. We received 2,856 votes. Half of the voters (1,428 people, or 50%) chose "for myself". The other half (1,428 people, or 50%) chose "to help others".
Here are some opinions from the readers. Let's see what they said.
"I think a job should first bring me happiness and success. If I am not happy with my work, how can I do it well? My dream is to be a game designer because I love creating new worlds."
—Tom, 15
"My father is a teacher in a mountain village. He rides his bike for two hours every day to get to school, but he says seeing his students grow, he feels proud. I want to be a teacher like him. Helping children find their dreams is more important than living in a big city."
—Lily, 14
"Why not both? My uncle runs a farm. He grows vegetables without using chemicals and sells them to the city. He gets money for his family and provides healthy food for others. I think that's a perfect job."
—Leo, 15
