Chen started paper folding when he was a fourth-grader after seeing a book from his brother. Following the 50 steps shown in the book, he made his first work, a paper peacock (孔雀), within two hours.

Since then, he has read many books about paper-folding and has practiced it in his spare time. So far, his "paper-folding world" has many members, such as animals, plants and even robots. And he made his favorite work last year. It's a paper dragon that includes almost 2,000 steps.

Chen used to fold paper himself until he met Chen Changnan, another eighth-grader at his school, who also loves paper-folding. They set up a paper-folding club. Over 20 students soon joined the club. With support from school, they organize a paper-folding activity every Wednesday afternoon. They exhibit their works and teach students how to fold. In February, the club was even invited to give a speech to kids in Wenzhou Children's Library.

"It's really exciting to develop my hobby and share it with others at the same time," said Chen. "I hope more and more people get to know paper-folding and love this art."

Peking Opera (京剧) used to sound strange to Dou Yi. The 14-year-old Beijinger said whenever she found Peking Opera on TV, she watched another programme. Like most of today's1, Dou loves pop music.

But since she2 the Xuanwu Branch School of Beijing No. 15 Middle School, she has been studying Peking Opera in music class every week.

Dou and her classmates listen to Peking Opera and3 the basics from experienced actors. They also sing along with the operas.

"At first, we felt it really4 to learn some musical notes, and we often laughed,5 later I found it was not difficult to learn Peking Opera and I understood a little about it." said Dou.

Since 2008,6 around our country have been teaching students Peking Opera. It's part of a plan to introduce young people to our country's traditional culture.7, Dou's school has been taking the job seriously.

"I learn a lot of history from the operas," she said. "I've also8 many ancient poems, since there are so many of them in the operas."

"When you learn more about it, you'll9 it more. If people do study it, this10 art form won't disappear. It would be a great pity if it did!" she said.

As many pet owners know, pets can make a person's day bright and even provide comfort in difficult times. Now a survey has shown that owning pets is good for our mental (心理的) health. More than 2, 000 American adults took part in the survey. Of these adults, 72% said they had pets. Dogs were the most common type of animal, followed by cats.

Among pet owners, 84% said their pets had mostly good influence on their mental health. About 64% said their pets provided unconditional (无条件的) love and support, while 62% said their pets provided a calming presence (在场) and lowered stress and anxiety (焦虑). Dog and cat owners were especially likely to say their pets were good for their mental health.

"We see the powerful relationship between people and their animals," said Rena Carlson, president of the AVMA (美国兽医协会). "From offering presence and love to lowering stress and anxiety, pets can give us comfort and support."

A recent study by researchers in Australia got the same result. It found that having a dog led children to be more active because they walked and played with their pets. Girls who had a dog exercised 52 more minutes per day than those who didn't.

However, pets can also cause anxiety to owners, especially when it comes to the animals' health. More than half of pet owners were worried about their pets having health problems, growing older, or passing away. Many people also tried their best to arrange (安排) pet care when they travelled.

Hi Kylie,

We are excited to be pen pals with you. Thanks for telling us about New Hampshire, We would love to visit someday, especially in the winter so we can see snow for the (one) time. We don't get snow in Malaysia. We live in Petaling Jaya. We have lots parks and there is plenty to do.

We don't have any seasons except for the monsoon season (雨季), when it rains non-stop. Recently, it rained so much that there was flooding (洪水) in parts of Malaysia.

thankfully it didn't flood where we live. It's (usual) warm all the time, but it can get very hot and wet. We get really sweaty (出汗的) when we are outdoors. We mostly wear shorts or dresses.

The (good) time of day to do outdoor activities is either in the morning or the evening when it is cooler.   There is a park behind(we) home. We like (ride) our bikes, skateboarding and exploring (探险) together there.

When it's hot, our favorite thing to do is to jump into a pool to cool off. Having ice cream any cold drink helps, too. We also turn on the air conditioner (空调) most of the time.

Thankfully, there are plenty of things to do indoors like museums, cinemas, science centers, the bird park, walking around huge malls, or playing a board game at home.

In Malaysia, we have lots of really beautiful (beach). If you're lucky, you get to see hombills (犀鸟) up close. When you visit Malaysia, we (take) you there!

Artificial intelligence (AI，人工智能) is the ability of a computer to "think" like a human. This means it can from its mistakes and perform tasks that usually need human intelligence.

The concept (概念) of AI has been around for a long time, but it was difficult to make it work. In recent years, AI has and it can now carry out complex (复杂的) tasks. This will influence lives, so it is important to know both the good and bad sides.

AI can process (处理) large amounts of information much faster a person can. In video games, AI can make the computer learn how to act like a human player, creating a more realistic gaming if you are playing against the computer. AI can also be a useful tool in education because it can explain complex topics (话题) to people simple ways.

However, AI is not. It makes mistakes and can give the answers to questions. It also doesn't have feelings or a human's sense of right and wrong, so it can sometimes be rude (粗暴的) or give bad advice. It can also be used in unkind or unfair ways.

Whatever you think about AI, it is here to stay. you have any questions about it, ask a responsible adult.

During the camp, Mrs. Tan, their teacher, held a briefing (简介) for all the teams. They were busy talking about how to win the hunt. After the briefing, each team was given ten minutes to fix their plans before setting off. Elise and Mei Lin argued about whose plan was better. After the ten minutes was up, they still could not decide and went to look for the treasure without having a plan.

When they realized they were losing, Elise and Mei Lin got upset and started blaming (指责) each other. "You didn't collect the map!" Mei Lin shouted. "You didn't listen carefully to the instructions during the briefing," Elise argued. Mrs. Tan saw them arguing and advised, ""

After hearing that, they felt stupid and began working together as a team. Even though they did not win the treasure hunt, they learned that working together as a team was more important than winning. Mrs. Tan was pleased that the girls had learned a valuable lesson.

A. Finally, they found the treasure and won the hunt.

B. Elise and Mei Lin didn't pay attention.

C. Good friends should be working together instead of quarreling (争吵).

D. As a result, they could not find any treasure.

E. For the rest of the camp, they worked together and enjoyed each other's company.

The most popular kind of hot pot is the Sichuan hot pot, with its red peppers (辣椒) and huajiao. What makes Sichuan hot pot different from other hot pots is the use of huajiao. It is said that the spicy (辣的) food helps people live through Sichuan's hot and wet weather. The Beijing hot pot uses mutton and many of the same ingredients (食材) as the Sichuan hotpot. Since its broth (底汤) is mostly just water and has no red peppers, it is not spicy. The Northeast hot pot usually uses pork and pickled (腌制的) cabbage, while the Guangdong hot pot uses a chicken or a fish broth, and is known for its many kinds of ingredients, including seafood. Almost any kind of ingredient can be found in hot pot cooking. There are as many kinds of hot pots as there are cooks.

With a hot pot, you can put in any ingredient that you like. The same pot can serve any number of different meals to the people sitting around the table. No one is left out, and everyone gets to eat as much or as little as they want. This shows the Chinese cultural values of openness and sharing. Finally, not only does hot pot taste wonderful, but eating hot pot is the perfect way to spend time with others.

People like to joke that there is no problem that a hot pot can't solve. The fire from a hot pot can melt (融化) any disagreement and warm any heart. Over a hot pot people can talk and share not just food, but friendship. While the food may soon be forgotten, these friendships stay with us forever.

The river is also important because it runs through the Amazon rain forest. Home to some of the planet's most amazing and unusual binds, fish, insects, and animals, the Amazon rain forest has the most plant and animal species (种类) in the world. Brightly colored parrots, monkeys, and frogs live here. In the water, you'll find pink dolphins. Some of the plants and trees in the rain forest have been used as medicines for thousands of years.

The river became known as the Amazon during the mid-1500s. A Spanish (西班牙人) saw some women fighters along its lower banks and named the river after them. In Greek mythology (神话), the Amazons were a group of women who were very good at fighting.

Emma was a young girl with kindness. She always looked for ways to help others.1 school every day, she visited Mrs Thompson, an elderly lonely lady. Emma would then talk with2 and help with the chores.

One winter, a heavy snowstorm hit the3 and everyone tried their best to clear the snow in front of the house. Emma cheerfully took a shovel (铲子) and started helping her neighbors. Soon, a group of friends4 her in her good deed (行为).

One morning, as Emma was walking past a bakery (面包店), she noticed a little boy named Timmy. He was looking longingly (渴望地) at the delicious cookies in the window. Emma knew that Timmy's family was going through5 times. Without a second thought, Emma6 one for Timmy, knowing that he could not afford it. The joy on Timmy's face warmed her heart and filled her with happiness.

Shortly, news of Emma's kindness spread all through the village and that encouraged7   people to perform acts of kindness.

When spring came, the village celebrated Kindness Day. The mayor (市长) gave Emma a special award for being the "Kindest Kid".8, Emma was not interested in that. She cared more about seeing the9 on people's faces.

Under the influence of Emma, the village10 became a close, loving place.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

We've done a survey on "advantages and disadvantages of paper bags" and collected different ideas. On the point of environment protecting, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Often people will do things to anger you. When this happens, it's not good to react immediately, but after you've calmed down, look at the positive (积极的) qualities in that person.

I'm not asking you to be a doormat (受气包) or simply look at the positive qualities when someone is being unkind to you. Instead, I'm suggesting that you take a look at the positive qualities in addition to everything else. Here's an example: Let's say you're taking your son or daughter to a basketball game. You' re in the line and the guy behind you, who is also with his child, starts pushing. You ask him to back off and he gets angry, and perhaps starts shouting. All of this is taking place in front of your child and his child.

Finally things calm down. Perhaps you' re still angry and silently cursing (咒骂) him as you sit in your chair. But can you see anything positive in that person? Most people would say no. But at least he was trying to spend some time with his kid just like you did. You don't know anything else about the person, but you just find some positıve qualities.

Too often we focus only on a person's negative (消极的) qualities and forget the good things. By looking at the positive, you get your mind to move its attention. It now begins to see things differently and thus (所以) sends a different message and different energy to your sense. This will bring positive situations to you. It's that old saying:" What goes around comes around. " You focus on the good things in other people, and other people will see the good things in you and you' ll attract positive situations in your life. For example: 4. ________.

When you do this you also let out the anger and unhappiness, thus creating more positive energy. Try doing thus with people you know and don't know. Creating positive energy is important to your success and happiness. Let's face it. You certainly don't want negative energy or a negative lifestyle.

Lyu Linyou is a scientist who helps protect the environment in Zhangwu County.

Zhangwu County on the edge of the Horqin sandy land. Sand and dust storms a big problem in the past. At one point, 95% of the county was covered in desert land.

In 2004, Lyu Linyou from college and he was only 24 years old then. The place he started working the Provincial Institute (研究院) of Sandy Land Use. He has worked there for 20 years up to now. Nowadays, the institute as the Sand Control and Usage Research Institute of the Liaoning Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

When Lyu Linyou first came to the county, he didn't know much about how sand. But with the help of his colleagues (同事) and local farmers, he quickly learned how to do it.

In order to find the best grass and herbs (草药) for helping the grasslands in Zhangwu Couty grow back, Lyu more than 400 different plants till now. He tested them and found more than 50 plants that work really well. To our joy, his work shows how science protect the earth and make life better for ever. Because of his hard work, the grasslands in the area healthier day by day.

"Though I have made great progress, I to work hard nonstop to make sure the environment to get better and better," he said, "And I am sure this will also create new jobs for the people in this area in the future."

The Juyongguan Great Wall was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. It was rebuilt and repaired for the time in the early Ming Dynasty, which makes it look like what it is today. Recently, a group of scientists from China Agricultural University in Beijing made a study on the Juyongguan Great Wall, and they found an amazing fact.

Some parts of the wall were made of, but some were built of "rammed earth", which is a mixture of rocks and soil. Usually, rammed earth should be destroyed (破坏) by wind and rain over time., the fact is not like that. So scientists questioned rammed earth managed to survive for such a long time. And now they have found that parts of the wall have been protected something called biocrust (生物结皮). This is a thin layer of plant life, including moss (苔藓), lichen (地衣) and other things.

The scientists examined a 370-mile-long section of the wall and found that the parts covered in brocrust remained than other parts. The scientists took some samples (样本) of the biocrust back to their lab for testing. They found the natural material was actually much stronger the rain and wind than the rammed earth. This means that the wall has protected well with the biocrust over the years.

These findings could be important. biocrust may not look attractive, its natural ability to protect things could be a very useful tool. It offers the experts who manage ancient buildings a good way to protect them.

Here are some things you may want to think about when designing your stadium.

The first step of the invention process is to "think it". This includes finding a problem you would like to solve, or imagining something you plan to create., "What problem does it solve? What sports or events will take place in your stadium? Where will it be located? How will your idea be new and different?"

The next step is to "explore it". You ask: "How have inventors created solutions in the past?" and then carry out research to learn more about the problem they would like to solve, or the idea they would like to create. This is done to understand solutions that may already exist..

Inventors use drawing as a way to organize their ideas. . You can draw your ideas with paper and pencil or use any means of expression that is comfortable for you. Remember! Inventors seldom get it right on the first try.

Build a model which will show the size, shape and form of your stadium. Now that you have created your 3 D model, take some time to think about how your stadium looks and how it would work for an event.

Now it's time to think about how it would work, and share your idea with others. Ask yourself, "What changes can I make to improve my stadium?" Sharing an idea also happens when you present your idea to others after you have made your final changes.

Inventors typically don't succeed with an invention on the first try. Usually, inventors change their ideas many times before they are finished to make them work better., once changes are made. It can take many tries to make your ideas work or look the way you imagined they would.
 

A. To get started you can ask yourself

B. Inventors test their inventions again

C. Now it is time to see their idea turn into something real

D. Once you have created your design, move on to the next step

E. It allows inventors to imagine what their invention might look like and how it will work

F. They learn from what others have tried and make sure that their solutions are new or different

You already know why cicadas (蝉) are so unbelievably noisy: males produce the sound to attract females. But do you know some of them appear above ground only every 17 years?

There are more than 3, 000 kinds of cicadas, which fall into two types: annual cicadas, which emerge (出现) every year, and periodical (周期) cicadas, which spend most of their lives underground and only emerge once every few years. The 17-year cicada is one of the periodical cicadas with the longest known insect life cycle. Every 17 years, like clockwork, they appear. Shortly after hatching (孵化) from its egg, a 17-year-old cicada nymph (若虫) digs down into the ground, where it spends—as its name suggests—the first 17 years of its life. When it comes out from the ground, it lives only four to six more weeks—just long enough to lay eggs, and the cycle starts all over again.

Periodical cicadas don't spend their years sleeping underground. Instead, they are active in their wingless nymph forms, digging tunnels (隧道).

Though not proven, many scientists believe that periodical cicadas have a molecular clock (分子钟) inside their bodies that notes the passing of years through environmental signs. As trees go through their seasonal cycles, the sap (汁) of their roots (根) changes. And when cicada nymphs feed on this sap, they are likely to pick up signs of the passing of time. The 17th trees' seasonal cycle gives the nymphs their final sign: it's time to emerge.

When the cicada nymphs come out from their underground homes depends on temperature. After their 17 years are up, the cicadas wait for the perfect temperature before making the Journey to the surface—when the soil about 8 inches (20 cm) underground reaches 64°F, or 18℃. This means that cicadas will appear at different times in different parts of the world: the soil in one place may reach the ideal temperature before the soil in another. But once that temperature is reached, all the cicadas in the area will feel it and make the journey to the surface together.

When they emerge, the cicadas aren't yet in their adult form. They're still nymphs, and they remain so until they molt (蜕皮) for the final time. Once their fresh exoskeletons (外骨骼) have hardened, they take to the trees with their new-found wings, and the males begin their loud mating calls in order to attract females. Then females lay eggs in dry branches. After that, both males and females die.

And now we're back where we started . Newborn cicada nymphs fall or move down from the trees and go into the ground, not to be seen for another 17 years.

Su Bingtian made history becoming the first Chinese male sprinter (短跑运动员) to reach the Olympic 100 m final in 2021. Not only that, he also set a new record with a time of 9. 83 seconds during the semi-finals of the event. This achievement showed his talent and speed on the world stage. Few runners in the world can even come close. Why some people can run very fast while others run more slowly? Genes (基因) play a role, but so do your choices and experiences.

One mayor factor (因素) that influences your ability to run fast is how you are built, including how your muscles (肌肉) work. The human body has more than 600 muscles that work together. These muscles are made up of groups of fibers (纤维). There are two main types. One is mainly fast twitch (快缩肌), used for sprinting and similar sports. The other is mostly slow twitch, used for jogging and some types of sports at low speeds.

Fast-twitch muscle fibers are larger. They help your body move quickly and produce serious force. Short﹣distance runners usually have plenty of fast﹣twitch muscle fibers. However, this muscle fiber type also tares quickly, so you can only run a short distance at the top speed.

Slow-twitch muscle fibers are smaller and help you run at lower speeds, but with greater endurance. Long-distance runners usually have a lot of these muscles.

How much you have of each type of muscle fibers mostly depends on your genes. But exercise can help train those muscles.

Physical ability isn't just about muscle. Your brain plays an important role, too. Your muscles are controlled by your brain. You can teach your body to use the best running techniques. That includes proper posture (姿势), so your body is standing tall. That also includes a proper step forward, so your feet land below you instead of landing too far in front, which can slow you down. Using proper running techniques helps the muscles create more force and work together, which helps you run faster.

Later she became a teacher in a special school where some students had the same problem as Wang. It was such a hard job that she was at a loss and thought about giving up at the beginning, but she didn't as she thought of Wang's pain on the face.

Later, unluckily, Liu's own 7-month-old son was also found to have the same problem, which shocked but never frightened Liu. Instead of getting her child treated in hospital, she decided to provide treatment for her son by herself after work. Since then, Liu could better understand the families with children like her son and put more efforts to help them live better in society. She started speaking rebuilding training by self-teaching. Thanks to Liu's tireless efforts, her son and her students showed great improvement and some of them became successful later.

Deng Liang, one of Liu's first students, works now for a State-owned enterprise (企业) in Changsha. "Ms Liu taught me to be kind, optimistic (乐观的) and hard-working to build a better life, which has pushed me forward all these years," he said.

Liu Hanxiang, a famous dancer now, texted Liu Lungli a message thanking her for her efforts. " Ms Liu, my performance today was a great success. I want to thank you. Without you, I would not have become who I am today." Liu Lingli burst into tears when she read the message.

For her contributions (贡献) to society, Liu Lingli received the award of Person Touching China for 2023. Liu said, "There is still a lot to do to ensure disabled people can find suitable jobs. The media also needs to tell more stories of people with disability who have built successful careers so as to encourage children with disability to improve their lives through learning."
