Jin Ying, 26, is a lover of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). She took part in a three-month training course on acupuncture and tuina (针灸推拿) in the winter of 2023 at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.
Jin's life has been different since the training. She changed her life habits after learning the Five Elements theory. For example, she avoided sweating too much during exercise in winter because the cold of winter means people should slow down, according to TCM. For her, learning these skills and theories was not about becoming a TCM doctor but rather about embracing (拥抱) a new lifestyle.
She is not an unusual example of young people becoming interested in TCM. A survey by China Youth Daily showed that 93. 3 percent of the 1,000 young people who took part had tried different TCM treatments.
"I have seen a rising number of young people come to me for neck and back pains, which are usually related to the elderly. " said Ma Huifang, a TCM doctor at Guoyitang, a TCM hospital affiliated with Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.
"Between Western medicine and TCM, young people often choose TCM because of its efficacy (疗效)," according to Ma. Some people question why TCM treats the same illnesses with different prescriptions. "This is actually an advantage of TCM, rather than a shortcoming, as it can be a more accurate (精准的) treatment for different patients," Ma explained.
Younger age groups are embracing TCM, and, at the same time, TCM is also benefiting young people. As Jin noted, "It helps young people understand Chinese medicine and learn why it is believed to be a treasure of our Chinese culture. "

As pet owners, if you want to build a strong relationship with your pets, it is important to understand their body languages. Pets use body languages to express many feelings, from happiness to worry.
Pets may have different signs (迹象) when they are under stress or feel worried. These can include heavy breathing, hiding or the changes in sounds. Other pets like rabbits may stay very quiet or refuse food.
For example, some animals may show they're happy by playing with toys or by doing normal things like eating or cleaning themselves.
Your pets' behaviour can also tell you if they feel sick or hurt. Changes may appear in body languages. If an animal walks slowly, avoids touch, or licks (舔) one spot a lot, it might be sick or feel uncomfortable.
Understanding your pets' body languages helps build trust and makes your pets feel safe. Therefore, it's important to read your pets' body languages.
A. A happy pet will often show relaxed body languages.
B. It also helps make your friendship with your pets stronger.
C. If you see these signs, visit a vet (兽医) to check your pet's health.
D. A happy pet likes to follow its owner around the house all the time.
E. By learning to read these signs, you can better meet your pets' needs.
F. Cats may hide under furniture, while dogs might make crying sounds.

Chile is a long and beautiful country with the ocean to the west and mountains to the east. Some of the villages are a very long way from the cities, and some of the schools are very small.
It's difficult for small schools to teach science because they don't have enough teachers or equipment (设备). This is where the Science Bus project can help. The bus brings special science teachers, new ideas, and equipment to schools in different parts of the country. Sometimes, the children go inside the bus for their science classes or clubs. Sometimes, the teachers bring the equipment inside the school building. The children do experiments. The materials used in the experiments are easy to find-for example, recycled plastic bottles—so that the class teacher can repeal the experiments with the class after the bus leaves.
The goal of the Science Bus is to bring science to children all over Chile. Since 2012, the bus has visited many schools in Chile, and hundreds of teachers have learned how to make their science classes fun and exciting.
In other parts of the world, children can take part in events called Bioblitzes. During a Bioblitz, scientists, families, students, teachers, and other people work together to collect as many different kinds of plants and animals as possible in a certain place, such as a park or a forest. Bioblitzes are a fun way to help scientists and to discover more about the plants and animals around us.
Science is important for all of us because it helps us understand our world. We can learn about science inside or outside of the classroom.
(1)、Why do Chile's small schools need the Science Bus?A、They don't have enough school buildings or clubs. B、They are short of science teachers and equipment. C、They need special materials to repeat experiments.(2)、What do people do during a Bioblitz?A、Recycle plastic bottles. B、Visit different schools. C、Collect plants and animals.(3)、What do the Science Bus and Bioblitzes have in common?A、They make science learning interesting. B、They are popular with children in Chile. C、They choose science courses for schools.(4)、What is the writer's purpose in writing the text?A、To encourage us to learn science. B、To advise us to get close to nature. C、To introduce Chile's schools to us. -

Recently, I learned something about animals. Some of them are hurt and in danger of humans.
One big reason animals are in trouble is that we destroy their homes, like forests and wetlands. Another reason is hunting. Some people hunt animals their fur or bones. This is very cruel. When we lose animals, it affects plants and people too. It can become a serious problem because nature needs balance.
We can help save animals. We should refuse to buy things made wild animals.
We can also support people and organizations that work to protect them.
Keep harming nature or help it? Your choice is so important. Let's choose to help.
Together, we can make a difference ensure the world remains the best home for animals.

I live in a small neighborhood. People here like to help each other. Saturday mornings, we come together early to work on projects like helping out in the community.
A few years ago, two dead trees (cut) down in our community's park and some neighbors helped move (they) away. When my friends saw me cleaning the street, they also joined in. It shows that caring (spread) from one person to another.

We save money and also get a stronger community. There (be) many things you can do, from simple efforts like picking up waste to helping water a neighbor's (plant). McConnell told me that some neighbors lent their tools, or (visit) older neighbors. Caring for your neighbors can even be as simple as saying hi you see them.
As I've discovered, even doing small chores around my neighborhood can make someone's day better—that's pretty cool.

Seeing someone walking on a cloud might seem like a dream. But this amazing situation is real. It is an area called the Salar de Uyuni (乌尤尼盐沼) in the South American country of Bolivia. The Salar goes on for miles, creating an endless natural mirror. The walking-on-air effect is actually caused by a reflection (反射) in a rain pool. And this makes it so unusual.
The Salar is more than two miles above sea level. About 40,000 years ago, the Andes Mountains (安第斯山脉) caught lots of rain and stopped water from running away, creating a big lake full of salt. But the climate change reduced the amount of rainfall in the area, and the lake dried up about 10,000 years ago. A deep layer of salt was left. Today, the Salar covers about 4,000 square miles—more than twice the size of Hainan Island.
Most of the year, the dry weather turns the Salar into a hard, white empty land. "It's just white as far as you can see," earth scientist Adrian Borsa says. "The color makes it look as if you're actually on ice." When seasonal rains come, they cover the Salar with a huge, thin pool of water. The water layer is too thin to make waves. And this explains its endless-looking mirror surface.
For many visitors, this strange place's most valuable thing will always be its unbelievable landscape. "The Salar is an amazing experience," Borsa says. "It feels like it's not Earth."
(1)、What can we learn about the Salar de Uyuni?A、The waves make the Salar beautiful. B、It is a special salar with a natural mirror. C、Climate change has made rainfall increase. D、Hainan Island is twice larger than the Salar.(2)、Which is the right order about the "walking-on-air effect"?①A deep layer of salt was left. ②A big lake full of salt formed.
③The lake dried up because of the climate change. ④The Salar was covered with a huge, thin pool of water.
A、①→④→②→③ B、②→④→③→① C、①→③→②→④ D、②→③→①→④(3)、What is the main purpose of the passage?A、To call on people to protect the Salar de Uyuni. B、To describe a wonderful place, the Salar de Uyuni. C、To encourage people to change the Salar de Uyuni. D、To introduce an interesting tour to the Salar de Uyuni. -

Our climate is changing, and it seems that the weather can no longer match the seasons. In some ways, British weather has always been changeable, but now it seems even more so. It's common to experience all four seasons in a day.
Nature must fit in, but for many of the animals we know and love, especially our garden birds, fitting in can be a serious problem. Small mammals (哺乳动物) like hedgehogs have more challenges. In winter months, rising temperatures wake them up from deep sleep. They walk around to look for food, not knowing where they are or what time of year it is. They could become sick.
As a result, rescue centres (救援中心) and wildlife helpers have to take care of more animals than usual. And the situations are not always positive.
So what can we do to help? If they appear in our gardens, we can put out dog or cat food for them. Often that is enough to really help them.
My family feed our garden birds all year round. It seems the best way when there are storms or weather changes. But I often wonder if doing so harms a bird's ability to hunt for food. Still, we need to give birds great help, which is why we have decided to continue to feed in summer, too.
On cold days, all kinds of animals in nature are trying hard to be alive. A little care from us can help them get through the cold days safely.
(1)、Why do small mammals wake up from deep sleep earlier in winter?A、They are too hungry. B、Birds make lots of noise. C、The temperature is rising. D、The storms hit their homes.(2)、What does the underlined word "so" in Paragraph 5 refer to?A、Feeding garden birds. B、Studying weather changes. C、Waking up the hedgehogs. D、Taking animals to rescue centres.(3)、Which of the following is the writer's opinion?A、Only birds need to be fed by humans on cold days. B、Climate changes have little influence on wild animals. C、Helping animals get through difficult weather is necessary. D、Offering food to animals won't influence their hunting skills. -

At my school, we hold special volleyball matches every March — a tradition everyone looks forward to. Classes compete against each other, and the winning class gets the chance to play against a team of teachers.
This year, the big day fell on a bright Friday. As a member of Class 3, I played with my teammates Jonathan, Morgan, Daphne, Lina, and Jia. We had practiced for weeks to improve our communication and teamwork. Our biggest challenge was beating Class 4, as they had two of the best volleyball players on their team.
The early matches weren't exciting. Class 1 scored mostly through serves (发球), showing they still had a lot to learn. Class 2 did better with more passes and teamwork, but they lost points because of some miscommunication.
Soon, it was our turn. My team and I felt very nervous. Class 4 was so strong that the first half didn't go well for us. But encouraged by classmates' loud cheers, we worked together and communicated better. Jonathan served like a top player. Morgan, Daphne and I made excellent passes. Lina and Jia hit the ball over the net again and again. After great efforts, we won.
At last, we got the chance to fight against the teachers. We played well at first, but they quickly caught up. In the final seconds, Mr. Hennessey's serve won the match for the teachers. We lost the game, but we knew it was more than a game. We laughed and gave each other high fives. We got closer as a team. I learned the importance of communication, trust and teamwork. It was really an unforgettable experience.
(1)、What was the biggest challenge for the writer's team?A、One of the writer's teammates got hurt. B、It seemed hard to win against Class 4. C、They didn't have enough time to practice. D、Class 1 and Class 2 had won a lot of matches.(2)、How might the writer feel in the end?A、Happy. B、Nervous. C、Relaxed. D、Disappointed.(3)、What's the best title of the passage?A、The Star Player. B、The Lucky Serve. C、A School Tradition. D、More Than a Game.
