Melbourne climber Bianca Adler has become the youngest Australian to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma. The 18-year-old student reached the world's highest mountain on Wednesday morning. This success made her a record-breaking climber.

Last year, Bianca tried to climb the mountain but failed. Bad weather forced her to turn back just 400 meters from the top. This year, she did not give up. Her mother, Fiona, shared the good news. She said Bianca sounded a bit tired but very happy on the radio. Bianca told her parents that she felt good, though it was very cold and windy at the top.

Safety was very important for this trip. To avoid the long line of people and getting cold in the line, Bianca started her final climb in the dark. Her mother explained that this was a small price to pay for a safe and successful climb. Being there early meant she could climb at her own speed and stay warm.

Bianca is an experienced climber. She is already the youngest woman to climb two other famous mountains, Manaslu and Ama Dablam. On her way to the top of Qomolangma, she faced a dangerous area called the Khumbu Icefall. Because of other dangers there, climbers had to wait at the base camp (大本营). Bianca used this waiting time wisely. She climbed a nearby (附近的) mountain and slept on the top to help her body get used to the thin air.

After reaching the top, she took some photos and started to go down quickly. At the time of writing, she was resting safely at Camp 4. Her mother reminded everyone that climbing down is also a hard challenge.

A woman in New Brunswick is helping hundreds of children experience one of the best parts of summer: the freedom of riding a bike with friends around the community.

For the past 14 years, Krista Richard has been collecting donated bicycles, repairing them, and giving them away for free through her program, Bikes and Trikes for Everyone, in Moncton, Canada. It started as a simple act of kindness and now it has helped thousands of kids get back outside, make friends, and create lasting memories (记忆).

This year alone, Krista says she set a new personal record by giving away 88 bikes in a single day. Last year, more than 400 bikes found new homes.

Krista believes bikes do much more than provide fun. She says they help bring communities back together. "With all these video games, there's no social communication and people don't know who their neighbors are anymore," Krista told the CBC. "But if you get a group of kids on their bikes, then they get to know each other and then the families get to know each other. I think the more time you spend outside, the better."

And the need continues to grow. More than 400 children are on the waiting list at present.

For Krista, the effort is well worth it when she sees the smiles on a child's face. "I had one little boy… he got on it and he didn't want to go home," she said. "Every time he'd go by me, he would say, ‘You do a good job, you do a good job.'"

It was raining heavily as David drove home on a quiet road. Suddenly, the car pulled to the side with a loud noise—a flat tire (轮胎). Although David could use special car tools to drive,1 illness made it impossible for him to change the tire. How he wished there were someone to2 him!

Through the rain, David noticed a farmhouse light not far away. He started the car and moved slowly towards the3. When he shouted, a girl came out.

"What's the matter?" she asked4 the car window. David showed his walking stick. "I can't fix the tire."

"Please don't be5. We will help you. Just wait here." After a while, she returned with an old man in a raincoat.

Warm and dry in his car, David watched them work. Ten minutes later, their clothes were all wet. "Why so6?" he thought, checking his watch impatiently.

Metal sounds were heard as the girl said, "Here's the tool, Grandpa!" The car lifted up.7, the tire was fixed after about an hour.

They came to the window8 everything was done. The old man smiled. "All fixed! My granddaughter said you use a stick. No need to9 it."

David still offered money, but the girl stopped him. "Grandpa can't10."

David's face turned red. A blind man and child11 his car in the storm? He remembered their cold, wet12 searching for tools in the dark—a darkness that the old man lived with every day.

After they walked away, David still sat in his car, without any words. How could he be so impatient? That night, the old man didn't just fix his car; he showed David13 to see with his heart and help a stranger.

Now David makes a14: Help anyone in need, not because he has to, but because that15 old man taught him. True help comes not from eyes, but from hearts.

In a classroom in Wenzhou, Alex, a student, and his teacher, Frank, talked about the upcoming autumn break (秋假).

Alex: Mr. Frank, could you tell us the exact dates?

Frank: Of course, Alex. I'm happy to tell you. ________ It's from November 17th to 19th. With the weekend, it makes a perfect five-day holiday.

Alex: Wonderful! ________

Frank: That's a good question. I suggest you spend more time outdoors. For example, you could take a walk in a park and observe the changing leaves, or even collect some for a nature craft (手工艺品) project. Visiting a museum with your parents is also an excellent idea to learn about history and culture. The key is to be curious and engaged (参与的) with the world around you.

Alex: What should we pay special attention to during the break?

Frank: I'm glad you asked. Safety is the most important thing. You must always put safety first. ________ Do not take any risks. Remember, a great holiday is a safe holiday. We all want you to return with happy memories.

Alex: Thank you for the reminder. ________

Frank: Don't worry. There won't be much. We believe a true break is important for everyone. For example, you might be asked to read a book you enjoy or write down something interesting you see during the break. The main goal is for you to relax, recharge (恢复精力), and come back refreshed. So, go and have a proper holiday. Just remember to stay safe and have fun!

①Have you ever been doing something you like, and then noticed that a long time has passed? Have you ever been so focused (专注的) on a task that you stopped noticing what was happening? If you answered yes, you've probably experienced a special state of mind known as "flow".

②Flow happens when you are completely focused on an activity. The key is to find a good balance (平衡). If the activity is too easy, you might get bored. If it is too hard, you might feel stressed. Just imagine a student who solves a difficult maths problem without noticing the noise around them. He is experiencing flow.

③When you are in flow, several things happen. You pay close attention, and outside distractions (干扰) seem to disappear. Time may feel like it passes very quickly. You also stop caring about what other people might think and put all your attention into what you are doing. This state is not just about trying hard to focus; it feels smooth and almost easy, as if what you are doing and your mind are working together.

④How can we enter flow faster? Here are some easy steps. First, find a quiet place with few distractions, like a library or a quiet room. Next, set a clear goal and keep your choices simple—for example, when writing, just focus on the main idea. Then, do one thing at a time. Don't check your phone while working—this helps you stay focused. Also, make sure you rest when you're tired. Taking short breaks helps you keep your energy up. When you follow these steps, it becomes easier to get into flow and enjoy what you're doing.

①The Torch (火把) Festival is a traditional celebration of the Yi people in China. It takes place around the 24th or 25th day of the sixth month of the Yi calendar, which usually falls in July or August. The festival lasts three days and is known for its lively atmosphere.

②According to the legend (传说), the festival honors a hero named Atilaba. Long ago, he used torches made from pine trees to drive away a plague of locusts (蝗虫) and save the crops. To celebrate this victory, people light torches every year. Another tale says the torches were used to scare off evil spirits and bring good luck.

③During the festival, families get together for feasts and activities over three days. On the first day, people clean their homes, wear new clothes, and offer food to their ancestors. In the evening, they light torches and walk around their houses and fields. The second day is the most exciting. After enjoying a special festive dinner with relatives, people wear fine clothes to watch or join in horse racing, wrestling, bullfighting, and dancing. A beauty contest is also held. At night, big bonfires (篝火) are lit, and people dance around them. On the final day, everyone gathers their torches into one large bonfire, sharing traditional food one last time. This is a way to send off the festival and wish for happiness.

④Today, the Torch Festival is not only a time for joy but also an important cultural event. Every year, many tourists visit Liangshan in Sichuan to join the celebration, enjoying special foods like diced meat and buckwheat cakes.

"No more phone!" My dad shouted at the dinner table. I was mad too. That started our big argument (争吵).

I felt it was not fair. I knew they worried about my study and eyes. But every time I looked up from homework, I saw Mum watching videos or Dad reading news on his phone. When I talked to them, they often just said "hmm" without looking up. Why could they always use phones, but my short break was called "addicted (上瘾的)"?

One evening, after studying hard, I picked up my phone to relax. Dad took it away, saying I wasted time. I shouted, "You use your phones all day too!" We had a quarrel. I ran to my room, crying. I felt lonely. It seemed the phones took my parents away.

Things changed during a weekend breakfast. Mum saw a message about my exam on her phone and sighed, "I want you to focus."I felt brave and said calmly, "I feel lonely when we're all on our phones. Can we have dinner without them? I want to talk to you." My voice was shaking.

Mum put her phone down. Dad did too. "You're right. We were not fair." Mum said. Dad agreed they needed better rules. My anger turned into hope. We made "Family Phone Rules": no phones during meals or before bed. Everyone must follow them, even parents.

Now, our home is different. We talk, laugh, and listen to each other. I learned a lesson: sometimes, the most important thing is to feel understood.

The wonder of the wheel

When the first humans decided to leave their homes over 100,000 years ago in search of new places to live and better sources of food, they did it on foot. Humans continued walking across the globe for the next 94,000 years, until about 6,000 years ago when a number of important changes took place. For instance, in the Central Asian country of Kazakhstan, people started to ride horses. Although this meant that people could travel further and faster, transporting large amounts of goods was still a difficult job. That all changed, however, a few hundred years later with the invention of the wheel.

Who first invented the wheel? We will never know for sure, but the inventors probably first used wheels to make pottery (陶器). Later, they realized that they could also use them to transport people and things. They soon attached wheels to horse-pulled vehicles. Farmers were suddenly able to transport their goods to markets far away. This invention increased national and international trade.

The wheel changed the way villages, towns and even countries did business with each other, but it wasn't perfect. The roads were old walking paths.

These old paths quickly became extremely difficult to use in wet weather. As a result, the first roads made of stone appeared after the arrival of the wheel. The Romans then invented new road-building techniques. The new roads were very good, and we still use some of them today.

The wheel not only changed the way humans move, but it also allowed us to build all types of amazing machines. Windmills (风车), clocks and other machines all use wheels, and the Industrial Revolution depended on the wheel. Even in our digitalized (数字化的) world, we still use wheels in devices such as 3D printers. Without doubt, the wheel is one of the most important inventions of all time.

Today in the UK, most people can get hot water simply by turning on a tap. They understand the importance of staying clean and often take baths or showers daily. But this wasn't always the case.

In medieval times, people knew that washing with water was good. Some guidebooks even explained why keeping clean was important. However, a few offered strange advice—like not bathing in summer, or avoiding long baths to prevent getting fat.

Rich people enjoyed bathing in wooden tubs filled with hot water by their servants. They often added perfume or flower petals (花瓣) to make the water smell nice. Having your own bath was a sign of importance. For example, King John used to take his bathtub with him whenever he traveled.

Most people didn't have a bath at home. Instead, they went to public baths, which were often built next to bakeries. The heat from baking bread was used to warm the water. Those without access to public baths washed with a cloth and cold water. When the weather was warm, they would swim in a river to get clean.

By the early 1800s, crowded cities had become dirty, and people began to realize the importance of hygiene (卫生). Some families bought metal bathtubs, though for most people there was no bathroom and the water still had to be carried in from outside and heated up. Many couldn't bathe at home but could afford to visit public baths once a week. Around the same time, sea bathing became popular as people believed salt water could help with skin problems.

Bathing habits changed for good in the late 19th century when water pipes (水管) were built directly into homes. Taking baths became much easier. However, some homes in the UK, especially in the countryside, didn't have running water until as late as the 1960s.

English has become a global language. So which country, not including English-speaking countries, speaks English best?

Swedish language education company EF published their 2016 English Proficiency (熟练程度) Index this month. The Netherlands (荷兰) ranked first, followed by Denmark and Sweden.

According to the result, the English proficiency in China is still low, ranking 39th. They speak better English than Italians and French. Hong Kong and Beijing follow Shanghai as China's next best English-speaking cities. "Shanghai and Beijing rank high because they are international cities," EF senior manager Christopher McCormick said. "However, across China, proficiency in English is different from east to west."

China has 400 million English learners, reported China Daily. According to the People's Daily Online, there are seven primary schools in Shetianqiao town in Hunan, but only one English teacher. Many students still learn English by rote memorization (死记硬背).

Sebastian Magnusson, an officer at the Swedish embassy (大使馆) in Beijing, gave some advice. Swedish people speak English well and Magnusson himself is also fluent in Chinese. "Do not limit it to textbooks. What matters most is to use what you've learned," Magnusson said.

A. Where does China rank (排位)?

B. No doubt the USA and the UK rank the highest.

C. However, the teaching of English in some areas is not very good.

D. Out of the whole country, people in Shanghai are the best English speakers.

E. He said TV programs, movies and even computer games could be learning tools.

F. The rankings are based on English reading and listening test results of 950,000 people from 72 countries and areas.

"Nothing is impossible; the word says ‘I'm possible'." Audrey Hepburn, the British actress and star of the silver screen, said this. However, there are always doubts and worries us back. How can we face them and make it through?

The runner Su Bingtian gives an excellent answer to this question. The young man began his sporting life in 2006. At that time, Asians found it really difficult the 10-second barrier (关卡) in the 100-meter race. Su trained hard and quickly became one of the fastest runners in Asia. In 2011, he ran the race in 10.16 seconds.

However, Su wasn't. To run in under 10 seconds, in 2014, he changed his starting leg. This was a very decision. He had to start from zero. At first, he was slower than before. Also, at the age of   25, he that he would end his career just like many other runners. People doubted his decision. Su kept fighting. He tried his best to overcome the difficulties one after another.

Su became one of runners in the world through his hard work. In 2015, he clocked 9.99 seconds and set a record. No one could ever run so fast in Asia before. In 2021, he finished in 9.83 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics. He also became the first Chinese athlete to run in the Olympic 100-meter final.

Nothing is impossible as long as you try and every step counts. Su Bingtian told youngsters, "Never let your age stop you. Have a try and try harder. I believe you can write your own story." tries his best can be a Superman!

"Making a huge lantern for exhibition (展览) requires 17 steps," said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. "Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker," Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan's team; for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography(全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements.

What's more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. "Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works," said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people's hearts.

The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival's success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It's believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future.

Which products can get GIs?

Farm products, food, wine, handicrafts, and industrial products can get GIs. On the first GI list, there are food, farm products, wine and tea. On the next list, there would be some Chinese cultural products, such as Shu Embroidery (蜀绣) and Xuan paper.

How many products are on the GI list?

In 2023, two hundred products from China and EU countries were on the list. As planned, a new list would come out in 2025, and there would be 350 GIs by the end of that year.

How will the agreement help us?

It is good for both shoppers and companies. People can buy high-quality products based on the GIs. They don't have to worry if they are fake. Companies can sell more products to other countries. Some products are only popular in China. Now they might become popular in Europe. This will also promote business between China and Europe.
