• 1、Have you ever wondered how animals communicate with each other? Do you know that plants can make some sounds?Just in the book The Sounds of Life, the writer talks about how such technologies bring us closer to the worlds of animals and plants.

    When we walk in nature, we hear the sounds of the sea, birds and leaves.. For example, tomatoes can make ultrasonic (超声的) sounds under stress, like when they don't get enough water. In the ocean, coral (珊瑚) makes sounds too. Baby corals can "listen" to these sounds to find safe places to grow, even though corals don't have ears. For further research, scientists use special machines to record these sounds that we can't hear.

    Once the sounds are recorded, AI can help understand the sounds made by animals and plants. For example, researchers used AI to study the calls of bats (蝙蝠). They found that many of the calls were about food, sleep and personal space.

    Bees (蜜蜂) use dances to communicate. In Germany, a research team has created a robot bee that can dance. The robot bee can tell real bees where to find food by doing their special dance moves.

    In the future, this technology might help people who have trouble communicating.The more we understand about nature, the better we can protect it.

    A. However, there are many sounds out of reach.

    B. In turn, nature helps to speed up the development of AI.

    C. That shows animals have their own ways of communicating.

    D. As AI develops, we may be able to understand their "languages".

    E. It can also help scientists learn more about how animals see the world.

    F. This is a great example of how technology helps humans communicate with animals.

    One day, Confucius led his students to the state of Chu. On the way, they saw an old man standing under a tree. He was catching cicadas with a bamboo stick. Every time he tried, he caught one, just as as picking something from his hand.

    Confucius asked, "You're very skillful at catching cicadas. You must have followed some."

    "That's right!" The old man answered. "The cicada is a clever little insect. It would fly away at the smallest in the leaves. Therefore, to catch cicadas, one must, first of all, train one's hand the bamboo stick without shaking. When two small balls are put on the top of the bamboo stick and do not fall off, one may have a certain degree of in catching cicadas; when three balls are put there and do not fall off, any cicadas can manage to escape (逃脱); when five are put there and do not fall off, one would catch cicadas at will."

    He then added, "But that is not enough. One must be good at oneself. Now I am standing under a tree, just like half of a tree trunk, with my arm stretching out like part of a withered twig (枯萎的树枝). Last of all, one must give full. When I am catching cicadas, I don't think about the big world or other things around me—I only see the cicadas' two wings."

    Hearing this, Confucius turned to his students and said, "No matter what you do, and challenging it can be, there will always be a way out. And remember, guard your purpose closely, for even small things can your path to success."

  • 3、Everyone has their own way of saying things. So does a nation.

    For American people, there are many colors involved in their everyday expressions.

    For example, red is a hot color. Americans often use it to describe heat (热度) and some strong feelings. They may say they are "red-hot" when they are very angry about something. Fast, exciting music is also described as "red-hot", especially the kind of music called Dixieland Jazz.

    Pink is slightly lighter than red. American people sometimes say they are "in the pink" when they are in good health. This expression first appeared in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with pink skin (皮肤), which is a symbol of the best health.

    The color green is natural for trees and grass, but it is an unnatural color for humans. In America, a person, who has a sick-feeling stomach may say he or she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very ill from high waves (海浪) may look very green.

    Blue can stand for sadness, so the traditional Blues music in the United States is just the opposite of the red-hot music.

  • 4、Nowadays, practicing baduanjin has become popular among young people. Wang Zhen, a professor at Shanghai University of Sport, points out that its history dates back to the Song Dynasty. qigong exercises differ greatly in difficulty. Tai Chi and wuqinxi require (需要) people to imitate animals like bears, tigers, which can be challenging for beginners.

    Wang's qigong journey began at 12. He got a master's degree (硕士学位) in traditional Chinese sports from the Shanghai University of Sport in 1999. He began teaching at the university later that year.

However, nowadays, numerous young people, including students and white-collar workers, are practicing baduanjin. Similar to many other Chinese traditions, such as wearing traditional Chinese clothing (like hanfu) and playing traditional Chinese musical instruments (like the pipa), traditional sports are experiencing a return to people's daily life.
