"Hey!Ms.Woodall" I was at the backyard of my house when I heard a voice call out my name. I turned around and saw William, one of my1 who loved plants and always smiled.

It was true. William was a joy in my class. When other students were having trouble understanding the lessons, he always cheered them up and brought them 2 moments.However,because of his poor grades,I couldn't help 3 . I kept wondering if William could pass the exams because he didn't make any progress in study.

Things didn't change 4 we started to study the life cycle of plants. As a class project, each child planted a sunflower. I did this every year with different results in different parts. At first, it was 5 for many of the students to plant the sunflowers.6 , most kids had little patience for the growing part. They lost interest and forgot to 7 the sunflowers except William. I'd never seen him show such great 8 in class.

Every afternoon, William made sure all the sunflowers were watered.9 even offered to care for them well during the summer holiday. To help the little sunflowers get plenty of sunlight, we 10 moved them to the perfect place behind the library with William. All of us hoped the twenty sunflowers could 11 the best.

About a month into the summer vacation, I happened to drive by the school. There, behind the library, stood William's sunflowers. I counted all 12 of them. They must have been at least 12 feet tall with faces to the sun.

Looking at the sunflowers, I realised we teachers should 13 what was planted in our children and tried our best to nurture (培育). This was also14 I chose to be a teacher, I thought. At that moment, I knew I didn't have to worry about William. And I believed that one day he would bloom and shine 15 his sunflowers.

According to the text above, write a slogan for Hangzhou.(不超过 10 个词) 

Listening to music, watching movies, reading novels...Which kind of art is your go-to choice for fun? According to a new study, art not only calms your mind but also improves your physical health.

For the first time, scientists in the UK found that art helps the immune (免疫的), endocrine (内分泌的) and nervous systems all at once, said The Guardian. The study included 50 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 40. Half of them went to see real artworks at the Courtauld Gallery in London, while the other half looked at copies of the same paintings in a non-gallery setting. All of them wore health sensors throughout the experiment.

The result showed a 22 percent drop in stress hormones (激素) for the gallery-goers and an 8 percent drop for the other group, according to Art Fund. Signs of inflammation (炎症) also went down by about 30 percent for the gallery group.

It's not just visual art that has such effects. For example, a 2021 Swiss study said that dance reduces stress by improving movement control.

What makes art so powerful? Scientists have different ideas. One, developed by Edward Vessel at the City College of New York, looks to our brain's default mode network (默认模式网络). This network is thought to play a key role in creativity—it usually stays quiet when we pay attention to things around us. But when we enjoy art, this network becomes active.

Although we are still learning how this works,    ▲    . According to American Scientist, art therapy was first developed to help traumatized (心理受创的) World War II soldiers express their feelings. Those painful experiences often hurt the parts of their brains that control speech, so traditional talking therapy didn't work well. Since then, art therapy has helped over 650 million people around the world.

Marygrace Berberian, a professor at New York University, said in the university's news in September that number-based studies, like the new UK study, can help more people get art therapy.

It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had come to the top. I would go out and see the sunrise.

Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crescent Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to run away. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crescent Island. "I thought you preferred the sea."

"I do," replied the Captain, "But these forests are under the sea." During breakfast, he explained that he made diving suits that used special air tanks a month ago. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We went through it, and we were on the sea floor. It was an amazing experience. We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper.

As we were a hundred metres under the water, we could still see quite well.Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest.The "trees" there were giant seaweed (水藻), and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small bushes grew under the large seaweed trees. Three hours later, we lay down to rest.I was not hungry, but very sleepy. We all slept and when we woke up, we explored further.

（Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea）

In the city of Jingdezhen, there is a man named Li Junyong. He sells fried chicken cutlets (炸鸡排) on the street. Mr. Li started with a small food stall (摊位), but his delicious chicken cutlets and special way of doing business made him a much-loved local star. People all call him "Chicken Cutlet Brother". When he makes chicken cutlets, he never rushes. Every cutlet must be perfectly cooked before he serves it. Though his job seems simple, he takes great pride in it.

Mr.Li has some interesting rules. For example, every day at 4:30 p.m, he stops serving other made a promise to the students. He wants to make sure they can get a warm snack after a long day of classes. Besides, he always says "Please open your plastic bag." This simple request helps him hand over the food faster.

Some businessmen offered to help him open big shops, but he turned them down. For him, the most important thing is not being famous or making more money. It is seeing the happy smiles on the students' faces. He says their happiness is real, and that is what he really wants to protect. He is more than just a chicken cutlet seller; he is a joy-maker.

Chicken Cutlet Brother's stall may not be big, but it's filled with love. To this day, his small stall has lit up countless warm memories in this city. His story shows even a simple job can bring great happiness to others.

Do you know a famous saying "(④)Life is like a box of chocolates, and you never know what you will get."? The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind boxes are quite popular. Merchants (商家) fill the boxes with toys which usually come from movies, comics and cartoons.

The earliest blind boxes originated in Japan. It was a New Year's tradition. At that time, they called it "a lucky bag". (⑤)2014年盲盒被引进到中国。According to a 2019 Tmall (天猫) report, the mini-series of the Labubu blind box sold 55,000 units in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.

According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The cute mini-sized cartoon toys are suitable to place almost anywhere. What's more, even if blind box toys are not their top choice for decorations, the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attract people. It's the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.

Opening a blind box is a pleasant little surprise for our daily lives. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome. In fact, although the magical mystery boxes are full of fun, we should come to a rational (理智的) decision.

Every country has its own special customs and etiquette (礼仪).

In Japan, people usually bow to greet each other. A small bow mean a simple hello, while a deeper and longer bow shows more respect. you enter a Japanese house or some private places, you have to take off your shoes.

In France, friends and people are familiar with each other often greet with a kiss on both cheeks. French people also pay a lot of attention to table manners. For example, your hands should be kept on the table but not your elbows, and you should use the right and forks in the right order.

In Saudi Arabia, because of their religious beliefs, people have to dress properly. Men usually wear long robes (长袍). Women need to cover their bodies and heads when they are public. Their greetings are more formal and sometimes include special religious words.

In India, it is very important old people. Young people often touch the feet of the elders to show their respect. Also, in some cases, the left hand to be not clean, so people use the right hand to eat and to give or receive things.

Knowing and respecting these different customs and etiquette helps us make friends with people from other countries and avoid mistakes in communication. It makes us understand more about different cultures in the world and makes cross-cultural communication better.

Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have1 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy to live with them.

According to recent research, parents2 with teenagers about untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go crazy over rooms in a3, clothes thrown on the floor and their children's refusal to help with the housework. On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame (责骂) them for dropping the towel in the bathroom, not4 their rooms or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.

The research, completed by St. George University, shows that different parents have different5 to solve these problems. For example, some parents shout at their children for their untidiness, but6 clean the room for them. They have fewer chances of changing their children's behavior. However, some ways are more7 than others. Other parents let teenagers experience the result of their actions. It makes teenagers8. For example, when teenagers don't help their parents with the shopping and don't find their favorite drink in the fridge, they have to9 their actions again. Then they can make their own decisions, and make some changes.

Experts say that10 is the most important thing in the parent-child relationships. Parents should talk to their children but at the same time they should listen to what their children say.

In December 2020, the "quiet carriage (车厢)" service was first introduced on some trains of the high-speed railway. By December 2025, this service has expanded to more than 95 trains.

The "quiet carriages" feature silent videos and announcements made at a low volume (音量). Doors at both ends of the carriage are closed to reduce noise from outside. During the trip, passengers must wear earphones or turn off loudspeakers when using electronic devices. They also need to leave their seats to make or answer calls, and their phones should be set to silent or vibrate mode (振动模式). For those travelling with children, they must take care of them and keep them quiet.

Mr. Li, a Chengdu local, said, "I make at least one round trip a week between Chengdu and Chongqing for work. I sometimes need to focus on my work or get some rest during the hour long trip. The ‘quiet carriage' is a good choice for me."

"When I booked the tickets, I first saw the option (选项) for the ‘quiet carriage', and I wanted to give it a shot," said Miss Mou, who took the train from Beijing to Shanghai. "When I entered the carriage for the first time, signs reminding passengers to keep quiet were everywhere, and it was really much quieter than the other carriages.

Experts say that the "quiet carriage" service provides passengers with more value-added choices. It not only helps passengers to follow public order and respect the rights of others, but also creates a more civilized (文明) travelling environment.
