Firstly, helmets are a must in many sports. Whether you are biking, skateboarding, or playing football, a helmet protects your head.
Secondly, don't forget to protect your eyes. Sports are the main cause of eye injuries for teens. But wearing proper protective eyewear can cut the risk of serious eye injuries by 90%.
Thirdly, warm up and stretch before any exercise. Never start doing sports without warming up first. Try light activities like jogging, jumping jacks, or high knees for about 10 minutes. Then, do some stretches. Warmed muscles stretch better and are less likely to get injured.
Last but not least, follow the rules. For example, in football, pushing or tripping others is not allowed. Following rules helps everyone enjoy the game safely and fairly.
So, feel the wind, kick the ball, and laugh with friends. Stay safe and have fun - that's what sports are all about!

Tala Beach in Qinghai was once a desert with strong winds and little rain. In fact, about 98.5% of the area was covered by sand. Today, it is becoming greener while also producing clean electricity. How did this happen? The secret lies under rows of solar panels (板):
A local herder (牧民), Mr. Li, remembers the difficult past: "Our sheep couldn't find enough grass, so we had to travel far to look for grass." Sandstorms were common, turning the sky dark and making life challenging.
A turning point came in 2011, when large solar farms were built. The area has strong sunlight, which is perfect for producing clean energy. Over the past ten years, the place has grown into one of the largest solar parks in the world. Surprisingly, grass began to grow under the panels. This happened because the panels provide shade, slow down the wind, and help keep water in the soil - creating a better environment for plants.
But the grass grew too tall and blocked sunlight from the panels. Cutting it regularly cost time and money. Then, in 2020, a clever idea was introduced. Why not let sheep eat the grass? Now, over 4,000 "solar sheep" live under the panels. They keep the grass short, and their waste enriches the soil as natural fertilizer (肥料). This improves the land, saves maintenance (维护) costs, and has created over 3,000 jobs for local people since last year.
Thanks to the green energy project, Tala Beach is no longer a desert. It has become an example of how technology and nature can work hand in hand to improve the environment and people's lives.
(1)、How does the writer start the passage?A、By telling a herder's hard life story. B、By showing numbers about the desert. C、By comparing past and present situations. D、By explaining how solar panels make electricity.(2)、Why do plants grow under the solar panels?A、Because people planted them there. B、Because the soil under the panels is dry. C、Because the sunlight under the panels is strong. D、Because the environment under the panels is good for plants.(3)、What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A、Sheep. B、Plants. C、Herders. D、Solar panels.(4)、Which statement is true according to the passage?A、Tala Beach had no plants before. B、Sheep are mainly kept to make fertilizer. C、The solar project helps both nature and people's life. D、Solar panels were built mainly to help plants grow better.(5)、In which part of a newspaper would you find this passage?A、Sports News. B、Environment. C、Science and Technology. D、Business Daily. -

Sharing Your Opinion Nicely
It is very common that everyone has different opinions. Your own opinion makes you special. It's fine to share your thoughts with others, but you need to be careful about how you express them. Here are some useful suggestions for you.
Although you may really want to explain your side, you should listen to others first. This keeps the conversation calm and peaceful. You'll also understand their ideas better.
Next, express your own opinion politely. Remember, winning or losing isn't the point. Don't try to make friends think like you. Pushing your opinion on others makes the conversation uncomfortable.
Last but not least, show your friends that you value your friendship, even if you disagree about some things. You can say, "Hey, no matter what we argue about, you are still my friend."
In the future, you may disagree with many people. In fact, this can be a good thing.
For example, you may not realise that your ideas are wrong, but sharing them gives you a chance to learn.
When we share opinions nicely, we keep friendships, gain new knowledge and grow as a person. This is what communication is all about.
A.You can even learn from it.
B.Listen carefully to other people.
C.You should agree with what your friends say.
D.Always use proper language when talking to others.
E.This can help both of you keep calm and communicate better.
Do you think sharing opinions nicely is important? Why? (不超过 15 词)

A new app called Shanhai was developed in Changsha, Hunan Province. The Shanhai App puts tens of thousands of artifacts (历史文物) from around the world into one digital (数字的) space. This solves the problem that traditional museums can't display (展示) a large number of artifacts because they don't have enough room.
A "Museum Digital Intelligence Alliance (联盟)" was set up in 2024, with fourteen museums joining the group. It promises to let more people take part in creating stories for the museums in the digital world. "The Shanhai app helps the alliance connect with experts or creators in society who have an interest in museum culture," said Hou Ningbin, the director of the Shaanxi History Museum. In this way, the app creates an open environment where anyone can share special cultural treasures anywhere, and tell stories together in the digital world.
For users, the Shanhai App is like a magic key to the world. People no longer need to travel far or buy expensive tickets to see a famous painting or an old pot. With a tap on the phone, they can view these treasures up close. It turns learning about history from a boring textbook into a fun, new experience. "If this app can succeed, it'll connect people everywhere with China's rich history and help people worldwide to gain a better understanding of China's cultural treasures," said Xu Jie, the director of the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco.
In the future, the Shanhai App plans to create 3D models for hundreds of thousands of artifacts in museums. It will also work with universities and libraries to collect old documents, ancient writings, and research papers about these artifacts. Showing us that technology can help keep history alive, this app serves not only as a digital tool, but as a key that unlocks the door between China and the world.

Imagine this: you go to the supermarket just for a bottle of milk. But as you push your shopping cart around, you also put snacks, shampoo, and even a cute, unplanned cup in it. This isn't an accident; it's often the result of carefully designed store layouts (布局), which are made to increase the impulse (一时冲动的) shopping.
Supermarket managers never place the products randomly. Instead, they always follow a wise strategy (策略). For example, healthy foods like fresh fruits and vegetables are usually at the front of the store. Starting with healthy choices may make customers feel good about their decisions, so they might be more willing to add less healthy snacks later on. Meanwhile, daily necessities such as milk and eggs are often placed at the back. To reach them, shoppers have to walk through aisles (过道) filled with snacks and drinks, increasing the chances of picking up more things along the way.
Another clever strategy is moving things from time to time. Managers know that once customers visit the store a few times, they remember where their things are. That may make the layout less useful. By changing the locations, stores can lead shoppers to walk around the supermarket and buy more products while searching for what they need.
Additionally, colorful candies and eye-catching magazines are strategically placed right beside the checkout. It may encourage last-minute impulse shopping from customers while they wait in line. Also, keeping products on sale in places that can be easily found can create a "low-price" image, which may make shoppers less strict with their budgets (预算).
In fact, supermarket layout design is both an art and a science. Understanding how store layouts work can help us become smarter shoppers.
(1)、How does the writer lead in the topic?A、By listing numbers. B、By comparing facts. C、By asking a question. D、By giving an example.(2)、What does the underlined word "randomly" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A、freely B、carefully C、secretly D、quickly(3)、Which of the following layouts helps encourage impulse shopping?A、Keep the products in the same place. B、Set fruits and vegetables beside the checkout. C、Place less healthy food before daily necessities. D、Put some expensive products in easy-to-see areas.(4)、What is the main purpose of the passage?A、To introduce when store layout design started. B、To describe how supermarkets improve layouts. C、To explain how store layouts influence shopping. D、To show where store layout strategies come from. -
