Dear Tom,

I'm glad you're coming to Yueyang. I heard that you found it difficult to improve your spoken 

Chinese. It's really not easy for Chinese learners...

Football is a very popular sport all over the world, and in China, many people love it too. Most people know about the big national football leagues（足球联赛）, but there are also many interesting local leagues. One great example is the Xiang Super League in Hunan Province.

The name "Xiang" comes from the Xiang River, which flows through Hunan, and is often used as a short name for the province. Established（建立,创办） in 2016, the league has grown significantly in size and popularity. What makes the Xiang Super League particularly interesting?

Of course, the players are amateurs（业余爱好者）. This means football is not their full-time job. They are common people from different jobs, like students, teachers, and office workers. They play football because they love the game. They practice and play their matches on weekends, balancing their professional responsibilities with their passion for football.

Second, the league helps bring people together. Teams come from different cities in Hunan, such as Changsha, Yongzhou, and Yueyang. When there is a match, local people, including families and friends, come to watch and support their team. This makes the games exciting and helps build a strong feeling of community（社区、团体）.

Finally, the Xiang Super League is important for the future of football in China. It helps to find good young players and gives them a place to play and improve. It also encourages children to play sports and be healthy.

In short, the Xiang Super League shows that you don't need to be a professional（职业的） star to enjoy football. It is a game that can connect people in their own communities.

In today's world, there are many things that can distract (分散注意力) us, making it hard to stay focused. , protecting your valuable focus is the key to succeeding in study and life.

, try to create a quiet space for work or study. Turn off your phone or put it in another room to avoid checking it often. This simple step can help you focus on one task at a time.

Second, learn to say "no" to unimportant things. If a friend  (ask) you to play games when you need to study, politely refuse. Remember, your time and energy are  (value), and focusing on what matters most will bring better results.

Third, take short breaks. Our  (brain) need rest to work well. After 45 minutes of studying, stand up and stretch, or look out of the window for a few minutes. This will make you more energetic when you return to your task.

Fourth, make a list of your tasks. It can help you organize your time ( wise) and know what to do next. You will feel  (stress) and more focused.

Finally, stay patient. It takes time to develop good focus habits. Don't get angry if you fail sometimes. Instead, keep  (try) and you will see progress.

Protecting your focus is like protecting a treasure. With practice, you  (find) it easier to stay focused and achieve your goals. And you will become more confident in dealing all kinds of tasks.

Just before I turned 10, my parents gave me a cat called Muffin as my birthday gift. Since then, we've shared a special connection that has brought me a lot of 1 .

Every night, she rests on my lap as I sit in my favorite armchair, and her  2  purring (呼噜) has made my evenings more relaxing. However, about a year ago, Muffin started acting  3 .

Instead of her usual behavior (行为), she began to meow (喵喵叫) without  4 . She was trying to communicate something important to me. At first, I thought she might just be trying to draw my  5 , but her meowing became increasingly insistent (反复的).

I ended up taking her to an animal doctor as her behavior was so  6 . I explained why I had brought her in, and the animal doctor agreed to  7  some tests. After not finding anything strange, I decided to see the doctor myself, just in case.

As it turned out, it wasn't the cat that had a problem – it was me! I  8  that I had a serious health problem. I didn't feel anything unusual, but somehow（以某种方式） Muffin    9    knew that something was wrong. I'm doing much better now, but the doctor said that if I had  10 until the symptoms (症状) were noticeable（值得注意的）, it's likely that I would have faced a dangerous situation in health. I'm so thankful for having my cat around, and now she's more important to me than ever!

The Mid-Autumn Festival holds great importance in China.

Falling on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival is when family get together to celebrate autumn harvest (丰收). In Chinese culture, the full moon means reunion. 

The Mid-Autumn Festival became an official celebration in

China during the Tang Dynasty. Many believe the festival was first mentioned in The Book of Rite. It was described as a day for emperors (皇帝) to celebrate the year's harvest by giving food and other things to the moon and hosting a great meal.

But how much do you know about the typical ways to celebrate the festival? Here are some.

●

In traditional Chinese culture, it is believed that the moon on the festival night is the fullest and brightest of the whole year, meaning family reunion. Even if a family member is not at home, he or she will admire the same moon, seeming like they are together.

● Worship (祭拜) the moon.

In ancient times,people put mooncakes and other food on a table towards the moon , make wishes and kowtow (扣头) to the moon on the night. Afterwards, the family will share mooncakes.

● Drink osmanthus wine (桂花酒).

Drinking osmanthus wine during the Mid-Autumn Festival is a tradition that has been kept alive through the ages. It's an age-old practice in China, especially popular in Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces.

● Make and hang festival lanterns.

This is an activity popular in Guangdong Province, loved especially by kids. Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a very important family party. As we all know, "Full moon, full feelings."

Which is more important in your mind, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable? You may find many people choose style over comfort and some even go to extremes (极端) to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn't everything. It's more important to be healthy.

Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they start extreme diets （极端节食）that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live?

Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels (鞋后跟). They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and they can increase the risks of falls. Some even wear tight (紧的) clothes that influence blood circulation (循环), making it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health?

Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful（有害的） to their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth it to risk our health, spending so much time and money?

So, let's think again what's really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don't tell us anything about a person's character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let's eat properly and exercise regularly (有规律地). Remember, the value of you is not decided by your appearance, but by who you are as a person.

Thanks to new technology, rice now being planted in the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang has a shorter growth time.

Recently, a traditional type of rice in greenhousesbuilt on the wasteland in Hotan, Xinjiang took about 60 days to mature (成熟), while normal rice farming takes about 120 to 150 days to mature.

Yang Qichang, a scientist, led the project. He started looking into the possibilities of making rice growth faster in 2016. By 2021, Yang and his team had managed to cut the growth time of rice by half in an experiment (实验) in Chengdu. However, the man-made environment was expensive in Chengdu because of the large amount (量) of energy needed to simulate (模拟) sunlight and warm temperatures.

"The cost of building greenhouses in Hotan is much cheaper than in many other parts of China because many are built on wasteland," Yang said. "Hotan is a perfect place to do farming research."

A lot of sunlight and the huge temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang also encourage crop (庄稼) development and help cut down the amount of energy required to simulate such conditions.

Scientists are now thinking about using the same technology to make other crops, such as corn, grow faster in the desert.

Socrates was a scholar, teacher, and philosopher, who was born in ancient Greece. He was c to be the main source of Western thought.

Socrates had his own way of teaching. To help his pupils work out a problem, he would break it down into a s of questions. He was certain that, by answering the questions, the pupils would find out the truth by themselves. One of his famous s is "I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think."

Socrates was sentenced (判决) to death for corrupting (使堕落) youth with his teaching. He could have saved himself. His pupils tried to get Socrates out of the prison. H, Socrates refused their help. He chose to o the sentence of the law. He drank poisonous wine (毒酒) and died.

Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what's happening around them.. Outside life is shut out. So are you one of "them"?

For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect.. What's even better, wearing card phone s seems to give a signal to people which say, "I'm not available for chatting at the moment!"

Suppose you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough (极大的突破), but a workmate suddenly turns up. At this moment the slightest disturbance (干扰) would break your concentration.. Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that "Go away!" signal.

. It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework, they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player, smile, and say "Yes, mum."

Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears, but also our brains will be directly plugged into (接通) some new high-tech instruments. We'll be in a virtual (虚拟的) world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like.. And they are changing our social habits along the way.

In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It's so strange. Suddenly, I don't feel like wearing my cardphones anymore.

A. Our instruments are changing quickly

B. I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment

C. At home, teenagers love these wires

D. They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal "digital noise reduction systems"

E. Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions

A new study shows that moderate background noise is a better motivation to creative thinking than the sound of silence, a well-known magazine reported.

A paper published in the Journal of Consumer Research says that the perfect working environment should buzz (嗡嗡作响)   with a little noise.

Researchers found that test subjects were at their most creative state when background noise was measured a 70 decibels, the level one might find in a busy coffee shop.

A nearly silent environment (50 decibels)   was too quiet. Turning up the volume to 85 decibels   (a jackhammer tearing up the pavement outside your building)   had an opposite effect—the noise became a distraction (分散注意力) .

The researchers asked 65 students at the University of British Columbia, Canada, to perform various creative tasks while noises recorded at a roadside restaurant were played in the background.

In one experiment, scientists asked participants to brainstorm ideas for a new type of mattress (气垫). Test subjects had the most successful discussions when the noise in the background was noticeable but not too loud.

While a quiet environment may make it easier to read a book, the authors of the study say that moderate background noise creates just enough of a distraction to force people to think more imaginatively without breaking their focus so completely that they can't think at all.

Should we all head for Starbucks to get creative? Not necessarily.

Researchers found limited work time surrounded by the low-level noise of a coffeehouse is what really stimulates creativity.

Equally, working in a café environment isn't good for everybody. The productivity boost (提高) was most obvious among those who were naturally creative to begin with.

I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother's crying went through my head again and again.

Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me. "If there's anything I can do, let me know." But I didn't know what to ask for.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby.

"I've come to clean your shoes," he said.

I asked him to repeat.

"Donna had to stay with the baby," he said, "but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral. Give me all your shoes."

I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another.

When we returned to wash the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn't help crying. Early the next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.

Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, "If there's anything I can do..." Instead, I try to think of one specific task that suits that man's need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel (狗屋;养狗场) or house-sitting during the funeral (葬礼). If the person asks, "How did you know I needed that one?" I reply, "Because a man once cleaned my shoes."
