The UNESCO added "the Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional New Year" to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录) on December 4th, 2024. 

The Spring Festival, also called Chinese New Year, is one of the most important festivals in China. During this festival, people wish for good things to happen in the future and for everyone to be happy and healthy. Celebrations for the Spring Festival last for 15 days, ending with the Lantern Festival. Many of these celebrations and events have been passed down from generation(一代) to generation, including paper-cuttings, the dragon dance and lantern festival events. 

On the second day of the Spring Festival, people in some places traditionally visit temples to pray(祈祷) for good luck in the coming year. People may also visit the temple fairs(庙会), which usually provide different activities, including traditional performances, folk art, and the sale of local handicrafts(手工艺品) and foods. 

The Lantern Festival, held on the 15th day of the Spring Festival, marks the end of Chinese New Year celebrations. During this festival, lively lanterns of all shapes and sizes are shown. People gather in public places to watch the lanterns, solve riddles(谜语) written on them, and enjoy performances like dragon dances. The famous Zigong Lantern Show in Southwest China's Sichuan Province has been listed as National Intangible Cultural Heritage items. 

Hukou Waterfall is the largest yellow waterfall in the world. It is also the second largest waterfall in China next to Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou Province, 

From its headwater in Qinghai Province, the Yellow River1 all the way to the east and finally to the sea. It carries Chinese history and civilisation with a long history, so we usually2 the Yellow River as China's "Mother River". 

As it flows to Hukou Village, the river sharply narrows (变 窄 ) from 500 metres3 to only about 30 metres. The calm water suddenly falls down into a deep pool4 thousands of wild horses running forwards wildly. As a result, a wonderful waterfall 5 . It seems that the water pours down from a big teapot, so the waterfall has the name Hukou— meaning the 6 of a teapot in Chinese. 

The falling water brings huge smoke and clouds, with colour 7 from yellow to grey, grey to blue. People 8 this heart-shaking sight "smoke from the river". There is also a stone under the waterfall. It moves up and down 9 the falling water. It is not seen all the time as the water is always changing, so people 10 it guishi, meaning the "mysterious stone". 

Over history, lots of poets and painters once travelled here. They admired the 11 view, and left numerous works about the great waterfall. Among(在······之中) 12 , Li Bai's Invitation to Wine(《将进酒》) may be the best-known. It says, "Do not you see the Yellow River comes from the sky, rushing into the sea and 13 comes back?"

There are many great sights at Hukou Waterfall, 14 smoke from the river, boats on land and rainbows in the sunshine. April and October are the best time to 15 Hukou Waterfall. Why? Because the water is full!

I'm a foreign student at Ningbo University. Can you guess what I'm majoring(主修) in? It's Chinese Language and Literature! When I was young, I found a book in the library, Journey to the West. The story about Tang Monk and his three disciples was so fascinating. After I finished high school, I decided to come to China. But my parents didn't understand me. In their minds, China was still a developing country, and they couldn't see why I would like to go there. Last July, China had a 72/144-hour visa-free policy for foreigners, so I invited my parents to travel in China. 

We started our journey from Ningbo where Ningbo University is located. We went to Tianyige Museum, China's oldest private library and the Moon Lake Park, feeling the rich history of China. After that, we flew to Chengdu. We visited cute giant pandas and even had the chance to feed them bamboo. We also tried the delicious and spicy Sichuan hot pot, which was truly a unique experience. Finally, we took the high-speed train to Beijing. The train ride was smooth, quiet and fast, Both my parents and I enjoyed the ride very much. In Beijing, we visited the Forbidden City and Tian'an men Square, Beijing is a modern city, yet it still has its ancient beauty. 

On the way to the airport, my mother left her passport on the subway. Thankfully, the subway staff were very friendly and quickly found the lost passport. They even sent it to the airport for us. When it came time for our tearful goodbye, my parents said to me, "Now we understand your choice, and we fully support(支持) you. "

Every year, tens of millions of people are crazy about visiting the wonders of the world. Here are four of the most famous ones. 

According to a report from United Nations Environment Programme, the environment in Beijing is getting better and better. 

The present(负责人) of Beijing Municipal Government said they had done a lot and taken many scientific (步骤) to protect the environment. The industry that used to produce too much (废料) air and water has already been closed down, especially (工厂) that produced coal. 

The citizens in Beijing have also done a lot to help to protect the environment. They are trying to live a green life. When they are shopping, they bring their own bags instead of getting a (塑料的) bag. They divide the (垃圾) into different groups to (扔) away and  (回收利用). They buy products that are eco-friendly. Some kinds of light bulbs are good (选择) because they are more environmentally friendly and cost  (较少的) money. Many people also go to parks, stations and some other public places to pick up empty  (瓶). People have made progress in protecting the environment and they will keep on. 

On a trip to Japan with her family in 2022, Sasha Olsen was surprised at the ocean's pollution levels. There, she saw many 1 sea animals. 

"We went on this trip and at first I was so2 , " said Sasha, a junior high student living in Florida. "But 3 I saw the way the oceans became, I was sad. I wanted to know why things were this way but couldn't find a(n) 4 . "

Sasha 5 the help of her cousin, Narmina, who is in her 20s and got a college degree in business. Together, they 6 a group—I Want My Ocean Back. Friends in the group got together at weekends to clean the7 . As time goes on, the group is doing 8 things to further protect the ocean. For example, the group has done something to 9 money, which will be used to clean up the beaches. It will also go to conservation groups such as Ocean and World Wildlife Fund, because they work to10 animals and their environments. 

11 , Sasha invited local people to take part in an activity called "Kids Love the Oceans". There, 12 spoke about the oceans' problems. Guests made art out of rubbish collected from the beaches and they felt moved to 13 the moment. "Sasha has14 many other kids to join the group and shown people that we' re able to make a change, " Narmina said. 

Sasha and Narmina hope to 15 their work in neighbouring cities. Hollywood is near. 

Scientists have found four groups of emperor penguins in Antarctica with new satellite images. These groups, called "colonies", are all small with less than 1, 000 pairs of penguins. 

Emperor penguins are the world's largest sea birds that cannot fly but can swim. However, the number of them has dropped and they live in fewer areas than before. The penguins raise their babies on frozen sea ice during winter. If the ice breaks up before the babies grow up, many of the babies might die. So some penguins are moving away from their old colonies to find more stable sea ice. 

Peter Fretwell, a researcher at the British Antarctic Survey, said that conditions at one colony had become more dangerous since 2016. As a result, the colony near Halley Bay seems to have moved about 30 kilometres east. The four new colonies may have been around for years, but scientists have just recently seen them. Though the four newly found colonies do not change the population for the birds a lot, Fretwell said the fact that one of the colonies moved helps scientists to understand where the birds are going. 

Daniel Zitterbar t is a penguin researcher. He said that it is unclear if the new groups broke away from the larger colonies. He added that the places where the penguins breeding(繁殖) are changing. As the world gets warmer, more penguins will be on the move. 

Do you still remember the "steel cable(钢丝绳) girl"? This girl named Yu Yanqia. She graduated from college and 1 a doctor in her home town— Nujiang, Yunnan. 

2 in 2007, Yu was a little girl. The Nujiang River kept her village away from the outside 3 . Like other people living here, the 8-year-old girl and her friends had a 4 — They had to go on a ropeway to cross the river to get to school every day. It was 5 . 

One day, a photo of her got much6 on the Internet. It 7 her wearing a red jacket and sliding(滑动)across the river. Later, with the help of the local government, the first 8 was built over Nujiang River, near Bula Village Primary School, her school. From then on, Yu and her classmates no longer had to risk 9 lives just to get an education. 

"It was like a light, 10 up the dark road in my life. " In 2018, Yu11 Kunming Medical University, becoming the first child in her village to enter the university. 

12 Yu was on the road of further study, her home town changed a lot again. There are more 13 roads in the villages and more modern bridges opened to the traffic. 

"In the past, I met so many kind people. I'm really 14 , " Yu said. "The moment I graduated, I decided to get back to my home town to 15 there. " She repaid her home town with her actions. 

Do you love maths? Recently, our school held a three-day maths festival. Fun activities helped students fall in love with maths!

On the first day, students put on plays and we watched some of them. My favourite play was about Hua Luogeng, a Chinese mathematician. Three students played Hua at three different ages.

The second day was the most interesting. Some students made rocket models with plastic bottles and launched them in the playground.The most successful one flew as high as the second floor of the teaching building. 

 They showed us some advanced equipment(先进的装备) and did·21·九英全(W版)experiments with us. For example, we made a small water-cleaning system. It turned dirty water into clean water! After finishing the experiment, I felt the magic of science. 

Students are already looking forward to next year's festival!

Do you want to have a festival like this? Why?(回答不超过15词)

Do you still remember the girl with two big and wistful(渴望的) eyes? Her name is Su Mingjuan. In 1991, a photo of the 8-year-old girl touched the hearts of millions of people. 

Su was born into a poor farming family in Jinzhai, Anhui Province. When she was a first-grader, a photo of her writing with a pencil and looking up with two big and bright eyes crying for knowledge was taken by a photographer. Then the picture became a symbol of the country's efforts to develop nine-year compulsory(义务的) education among all school-age children. 

After being       ▲      , Su received lots of donations(捐赠) from across the country, and her family no longer needed to worry about her schooling. The help from kind-hearted people helped the girl walk out of her mountainous home town and got a brighter life. 

In 2002, Su went to Anhui University. After graduation, she worked in a great bank in Anhui. To repay the kindness from those who have helped her, Su gave away the money of her first month to Hope Project. Since then, she has donated 1, 000 yuan every year to help students from poor families. 

Even in 2018, she used 30, 000 yuan from her savings to set up a student assistance fund(救助基金), "I will hold on to my efforts until all children are able to get a better education, " Su said in an interview. 

Paper-making is one of the Four Great Inventions of ancient China. Paper was first invented about 2, 000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started to write on paper. In those days, books were made only one at a time by hand. As a result, there were not many books and they were  (昂贵的). So, few people had the chance to learn to read, Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, with the  (发展)of printing, people can  (生产)books more quickly and cheaply, which resulted in a  (交易) in books and more people learning to read. Knowledge and ideas (传播) faster than ever before. In a way, we can compare the invention of paper and printing to the  (引进) of the Internet in the twentieth century. 

The Internet is growing very fast. A much larger amount of information can be  (存储) in more different  (存在形式) on the Internet than in books. And the machines we use to read it are now small and light, often smaller and lighter than a (单个的) book, which makes reading really convenient. 

Computers and the Internet are used in local Newspapers and classrooms and magazines are already read online. So which (方向) will traditional printing take in the future? Let's wait and see. 

Some inventions aren't great, but they do help us a lot. A small invention called SoaPen is just such a(n) 1 . 

As we all know, one of the easiest ways to stop the spread of illness is to wash your2 with soap(香皂) because soap can kill some germs(病菌). But many children haven't developed the right habit of 3 hands. They don't wash their hands often or 4 enough. These days many children aren't doing it, 5 it's such a simple habit. 

Issara and her friend decided to solve the problem using a fun 6 . They tried many, many times and invented a tool called SoaPen. The new 7 turned washing hands into a fun activity. 

As the name suggests, SoaPen is a pen8 is made out of soap. The children draw on hands with the SoaPen and then9 the drawing off. The colours will remain on the children's hands if 10 don't spend enough time washing them off. It can help to make children 11 a habit of washing hands. And it is also helpful for12 in the classrooms. After all, not all the teachers have the time to make each child wash his or her hands 13 . 

"Children wash hands longer than before because they like 14 on hands. SoaPen helps children form a habit of washing hands, " said Issara. Inventions can be either big or small as long as they are 15 in our lives. What do you think?

①On January 20th, 2025, a Chinese tech company named Chinese Hedge Fund High-Flyer made a new AI called DeepSeek. It quickly became one of the most downloaded free apps on the Apple App Store worldwide, followed by ChatGPT from OpenAI, Gemini from Google, and Llama2 from Meta. 

②This smart programme can solve maths problems, write code and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI's GPT-4o, but it costs much less to build. The company spent only about 

5. 58 million dollars that is 1/70 of OpenAI's cost, which shows that good ideas can beat big money. 

③A CNBC(Consumer News and BusinessChannel) report agreed, "DeepSeek has swept across the US AI market, because it can beat American's best AI with less cost and less-powerful chips(芯片). "

④Usually, Als need lots of prepared examples to improve. However, DeepSeek learns by itself. For example, when dealing with customer service questions or recognising(识别)images, DeepSeek doesn't need a lot of pre-made examples like old-style AIs. It just figures things out on its own and does a much better job. So it can help to run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies. 

⑤What's even better for these organisations is that DeepSeek is open-source. It's like a shared recipe(配方). Everyone can see the ingredients and change it to suit their tastes. That is to say, DeepSeek users can change the code to fit their needs without asking anyone for permission(允许). A Meta top scientist said, "This kind of free AI could change the world. "

⑥These outstanding advantages of DeepSeek have attracted widespread attention. More and more international companies want to partner with Chinese AI labs, making China's voice in the international AI market louder. At the same time, many foreign companies plan to put more money in AI research to develop advanced AI like DeepSeek and gain a foot-hold in this popular filed. 

⑦DeepSeek, as a rising AI star, has a bright future. It can be changed for online shopping and medical imaging. Working with labs and cloud service providers will make it bigger, and the open-source community will help too. However, nothing is perfect in the world.

My Dream Weekends

Everyone wants a colorful and meaningful weekend, and so do I. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Have you ever lived in a school dormitory (宿舍)? Some students think (live) at school is interesting. Well, it's not as (easy) as you might imagine.

Last year, my parents decided to let me live at school. I was surprised (hear) this decision. I could be (I) without my parents managing me.

However, when I first arrived, I got anxious (焦虑) about the strict rules. We have to study 7 to 10 p.m. every day. We are not allowed to play with cellphones or go back to the dormitory to take showers this time. Also, I argued with one of my roommates. These things made me feel upset and homesick. I just wanted to go back home.

On weekends, I did go back home. My mother talked to me. She (comfort) me, "Don't be afraid. Try to think about to improve the situation." My mother's words cheered me up. None of my roommates had such problems. So I should solve my own problems.

The next week, I (try) my best to calm myself down and focus on my work for three hours. It did not seem too hard. Then I talked with my roommates in a polite way and made (many) friends. I realized everything depends on our own attitudes (态度) . I began to enjoy the dormitory life.

The zebra fish went to China's space station on the spaceship on April 25. Since then, they have been living in a closed fish tank (缸) with some plants. The fish and had babies in 43 days.

In their special closed the plants made air for the fish and the fish's waste (排泄物) gave the plants food. It means that plants and animals can live in space more and easily. Humans and zebra fish 70 percent of the same gene (基因), so the finding will help scientists better understand human health.

The game is called Drizzle. It's a competition to make the perfect ice cream cone with delicious topping (配料). Players use a dice (骰子) and a score card (记分卡) to play.

Persy worked with a board game company to make the idea come true. But when the game box finally came out, selling it to stones became the hardest part. On Persy's first visit to the Shore Games store, she was turned down. Staff member Jessica Monaco said they welcome anyone who create games, but not from a 13-year-old. "A lot of kids have ideas, but it's hard to make it come to life," said Monaco.

But Persy didn't stop there. She tried again and again. Finally, she moved them with her love for her game and, most importantly, how well it was made. "The pieces are wonderful and the game itself is very fun," said Monaco. Their store has already ordered a second round after selling the first six sets. The game can now be found in 10 places across the US or ordered online.

Persy hopes her story will encourage other kids to follow their creative ideas. "Don't give up on something you want to do. Just go for it," she told Asbury Park Press.

What will you do with your uniform after middle school? Most students across China wave goodbye to their uniforms as soon as they leave school. But those in Shenzhen make an exception (例外). They love their uniforms and often wear them on weekends and holidays. Some even continue to wear their uniforms after graduation.

Students in many other cities do not like their uniforms. They find them neither fashionable (时尚) nor comfortable. According to a survey, less than 30 percent of students in China are satisfied (满意) with their school uniforms. So why are kids and teenagers in Shenzhen so proud to wear theirs? What makes such a big difference?

Shenzhen school uniforms were once like those in other cities. They came in many different styles. Some were unfashionable. But in 2002, a new rule changed everything. All public-school students in the city would wear the same uniform, no matter which school they were in.

To provide students with the best clothing for every season, uniform companies (公司) began to compete. They went after better designs and materials (材料). The cost is also quite affordable. A pair of pure cotton long pants, for example, costs just 35 yuan. When a uniform is worn out, students don't have to go to their teachers for a new one. Instead, they can buy uniforms from large store, stationery (文具) shops or online.

The next time you are at a tourist spot, don't be surprised if you see people your age sporting blue-and-white school uniforms.      ▲     

I know my math teacher is strict, but I never2 that one day I would be badly criticized for a small mistake. Anger, along with confusion (疑惑),3 from my heart. After that class, I was asked to the office. "I4 be called for more criticism," I thought.

But to my surprise again, he said, "Do you5 your mistake now? Because I believe a clever student like you would never have done that except6."

Next, he7 read both the question and the answer, then asked again8 I had any problems. I had been told that teachers would never talk with one student face to face9 they really care. At that moment, I really felt it. He appeared so caring. My anger10.

But that wasn't the11 of the story. In the afternoon, he called on me again and gave me some papers. They were especially12 for me. He told me to finish them and take it13.

In my heart, I had14 left to say, only feelings of thanks and regret, for I had misunderstood him. I had never met a teacher like him15.
