Li Junyong, chicken chop seller in Jingdezhen, suddenly became popular online last month. He was famous for his warm and funny (word). For example, he often joked, "The chicken chop is free, the plastic bag costs 6 yuan!" He remembered his regular customers so well he would greet them by their nicknames when they arrived.

He believed in honesty and selling good food. He made his chicken chops by hand every day. For students, the price was (low) than for other customers. He said this was to encourage (they) to study harder.

His whole family (help) him since last year. His wife had her own stall, and his mother washed the chicken. He worked (real) hard. Sometimes he slept only 3-4 hours a day, but he still managed (provide) his best service. People loved him not only his food, but also for the happiness he brought.

Yang Zhenning was a great physicist from China. He was a (开拓者) among scientists, who was famous for winning the Nobel Prize. He did many (实验) in physics. His work was about energy and the natural world. During the war, he (继续) his study.

After the war, he went (去国外) for further study. He gave speeches and (出席) meetings and exhibitions. He shared his opinion with others. Even when things were hard, he always found a way to do (无论什么) he needed to do. In his later years, he returned to China. For him, (知识) was important. However, his love for his country is a (必要的) reminder of what truly matters.

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.

Last October, the City Youth Festival invited international students to perform Chinese shadow plays. Lukas, exchange student from Germany, decided to take up the challenge.

During the first rehearsal (排练), Lukas (hand) a thin sheet and asked to cut out the image of Monkey King. Nervous but excited, he pressed too hard—the knife slipped and the monkey's head fell off. For the very (one) time, Lukas felt embarrassed—laughter echoed around the room, and his face turned red. Instead of making excuses, he stayed after school, practicing the basic cuts again and again.

On the final night, Lukas and his Chinese teammates presented "Monkey King". the shadow fighters jumped across the screen, the audience burst loud applause. Lukas (eventual) realized that his regret had become his (proud) moment.

Since that day, he (fall) in love with Chinese folk art. He often jokes, "I'm so busy (keep) these old traditions alive that I don't have time to feel homesick!" A short film about his story was later shown at the school, and many (freshman) volunteered to learn shadow play. His experience reminds us that cultural exchange starts with the courage to step into the unknown.

There are several important reasons why family volunteering is so valuable.In today's fast-paced world, family members often spend most of their time on separate activities——parents are busy with work while children focus on schoolwork and mobile phones. Volunteering together creates opportunities for more communication.When family members work side by side to achieve a common goal, they build a better understanding of each other.

Through various volunteer activities, children not only learn practical skills but also develop important qualities. For instance, when helping to organize a community book fair, children learn planning and communication skills.

Family volunteering creates a positive cycle that benefits both the family and the community.This special experience will grow into a family tradition that everyone values.

A. In this way, families grow closer and communities become kinder.

B. The benefits for children's development are also noteworthy.

C. The most important one is that it brings family members closer together.

D. Some people argue that families should spend weekends resting at home.

E. It provides a shared purpose that connects all family members.

F. This shows a change from self-focused activities to community engagement (参与).

A recent study followed two groups of adults over several weeks. One group had limited (有限的) sleep on weekdays but could sleep freely on weekends. The other group got enough sleep every night. The results showed that while sleeping more on weekends helped a little, the group with a regular sleep schedule still performed better on attention and memory tests. More importantly, the "catch-up" group showed worse ability to digest (消化) food, which could harm health over time.

The problem lies in our circadian rhythm (昼夜节律), which needs regularity. When we completely change our sleep schedule on weekends, it's like giving our body clock jet lag (飞行时差). By doing so, people will find it harder to fall asleep on Sunday night and often get more tired on Monday morning, also known as the "Monday blues."

So, what should we do? Sleep experts say that it's okay to sleep a bit longer on weekends, but avoid extreme changes. Try not to vary your wake-up time by more than two hours from your weekday schedule. A short nap during the day can also help refresh your mind without affecting nighttime sleep.

In conclusion, weekend sleep can provide some short-term relief (轻松), but it is not a true solution for ongoing sleep loss. The healthiest habit is to keep a regular and enough sleep schedule throughout the week.

Shaped like a one-metre tuna(金枪鱼), the "fish" is driven by a quiet solar tail. One Sea-Broom can collect 15 kg of litter in five hours, about the weight of a schoolbag. During a three-week project, ten machines removed 35 tonnes of rubbish. In addition to cleaning up trash, the robot records temperature every minute.

Why does it look like a tuna? Engineers copied the streamlined(流线型) body to cut water resistance (阻力) by 30%, saving battery power and increasing speed to 1.4m/s. The stable shape also allows it to work better in windy weather. What's more, a special paint is used to stop weeds from growing, which can keep the outside clean and reduce work.

Li Mei, a high-school student, led a team and designed the phone app."I want the sea we see every day to stay blue," said the 15-year-old girl. When the basket is 90% full, the robot returns to shore automatically (自动地). The city will put 100 more Sea-Brooms into use by 2026 and invite students from Hong Kong to join the design team. Officials (官员) believe that keeping a clean bay will benefit generations to come.

At school, Mae loved both science and art. One day, when her teacher showed the class pictures of planets, Mae noticed they were all gray. "Space isn't just gray," she argued. She took out her paintbox and splashed (溅泼) reds, purples, and golds across her paper. Her classmates laughed, but her teacher hung the painting on the wall. "Color can change how we see the universe," she said.

Years later, Mae studied chemical engineering and learned how to build rockets. Still, every night, she painted bright gas clouds on large canvases (画布). One evening, a NASA recruiter (招聘人员) saw her paintings in a small gallery. He was surprised that a scientist could see space in color and invited her to apply for astronaut training.

In 1992, Mae Jemison became the first African-American woman to travel around the Earth. From the shuttle (航天飞机) window, she saw the Milky Way across the darkness—exactly the colors she had painted as a child. Back on Earth, reporters asked, "Were you scared?" Mae smiled. "I was too busy painting the stars with my eyes."

When I stood up, my mind suddenly went blank. I3 forgot all the lines I had practiced a hundred times. The words came out in the wrong order, and even some jokes that usually brought loud4 sounded cold. I turned5 as whispers ran through the crowd. Sure enough, we lost the match.

For days, I stayed in my room, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. I even6 the invitation to attend the graduation party. One evening, Mr. Chen, our coach, came and sat beside me."Success and7 often traveled together," he said."What really8 is that you never give up." His words hit me greatly. I began to work harder, focusing on one goal: to prove that I can9 one single mistake. One year later, our team entered the final again. This time, however, I spoke clearly and confidently. Not until loud applause rang out in the hall did I finally10 that my regret had become the fuel for my personal growth.
