Chinese swimmer Qin Haiyang will be one of China's medal hopes in the Paris Olympic pool. Although Qin has1 the World Aquatics Championship in 2023, he tries his best to improve himself.

However, Qin's swimming journey was not2 smooth. In 2016, Qin missed the chance to take part3 the Rio Olympic Games because he fell behind by4 than 0.5 seconds. "After that, I felt regret and started to dream big. I5 to stand on the world stage to show my talent," Qin said in an interview for China Daily's online6 Tracking Success.

7, he met with regret again in 2021. During the men's 200m breaststroke preliminaries (蛙泳预赛) at the Tokyo Olympics, Qin finished first in his group. But his score8 because of his mistakes.

From then on, Qin threw9 into endless training, focusing on every detail of his swimming skills. Changing swimming habits is as difficult as changing10 habits, especially for an adult athlete. He described this process as "breaking and rebuilding". "Just like learning to dance, I asked myself to finish every certain move perfectly," Qin11Jimu News.

12 two years of training, Qin finally became a hit in 2023, taking home 33 medals in total and being called "Breastroke King". Still, he kept low-key. He compared13 his achievements to the process of a stream (小溪) flowing into the sea.

"When I was a child, I was like a small stream. Then it gradually became a small river, and then a14 river, finally flowing into the ocean," Qin told China Daily.

Qin's next goal is the Paris Olympic Games. "I15 I can produce the best result possible and make a real splash (水花)," he said in the online show.

Skipping to victory

Zhou Qi is a 17-year-old student from Hangzhou. Zhejiang. Last September he broke the Guinness (吉尼斯) World Record for the most single skips in one minute, with a result of 374. The record had stood unbroken for ten years. Daisuke Mimura from Japan held it with 348 skips in 2013.

Interestingly, Zhou's new record is not even his personal best. "My best performance was 396 times in one minute. That was done in the 2nd Primary and Secondary School Students' Rope Skipping Championship in 2020. My coach said I had already broken the world record. It was at that time that I made up my mind to apply for the Guinness World Record," Zhou said.

However, the road to success was far from smooth. For years, Zhou practised with a special steel rope designed for competítion. It's light and strong. But because of the rope he used, his first Guinness application was considered invalid (无效). After online communication with the records management team, Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized (认证) by the Guinness World Records. He soon got used to it.

Whatever kind of rope Zhou used, his strict training stood him in good sporting condition. Zhou has been in the school rope skipping team for seven years. He has jumped rope for about four hours each day. He would also run around the playground to improve his physical strength.

Now a high school student, Zhou said he'll put his studies first. But he won't stop training and still hopes to beat his own record one day.

The other day, two tourists in China were banned (禁止) from visiting giant pandas all their lives. Over the past four months, a total of 19 people have been banned from Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding for similar reasons.

Food from tourists may make pandas sick. Giant pandas eat about 20 kilos of bamboo and bamboo shoots a day. To make sure that the pandas' diet is healthy, their food sources (来源) are watched. Even common foods like carrots can carry bacteria (细菌). Humans also carry bacteria, and they can put pandas' health at risk.

Tourists' behaviours may mess up their habits and even scare them. Imagine being in the middle of a meal and people start shouting or throwing things at you. In these cases, some pandas may feel scared. It's important to keep in mind that these animals need special care with their food and their living environment.

A. Bamboo is giant pandas' favourite food.

B. So, why shouldn't tourists feed pandas?

C. It is because they fed bamboo to pandas.

D. The food provided to pandas is also strictly checked.

E. Then they become angry and even hurt the zookeepers.

It's getting hot. You go to have your hair cut. The barber Tony cuts off part of your hair and sweeps it away, but your hair's journey is not over after the haircut.

Have you ever thought of planting your old hair after it's cut off? Some farmers do! What comes up? Not wigs (假发), but bigger and tastier crops. Hair is full of nitrogen (氮) that helps plants to grow. When cut hair is mixed into soil, the hair breaks down, slowly letting out nitrogen so it can help flowers and vegetables get big a little faster.

If you've got a wool sweater on, you're wearing a sheep's haircut. Sheep grow fine curly (弯曲的) fur called wool. All those curls make air pockets that trap heat, keeping the sheep warm. Farmers shear the sheep in summer, so the sheep don't feel too hot. And we use the hair to make warm clothes, socks, and hats. Wool can even take in rain without feeling wet. Wool also doesn't catch fire easily.

What does your hair say about you? Even many years after it has been cut, hair can tell surprising secrets. Because hair is made from bits of old cells, it has trace (微量) of chemicals (化学物质) that were in the body when the hair grew. When people are kept in the situation of dangerous chemicals, these traces remain in the hair, even long after they have disappeared from the body itself. Testing hair can help doctors know if there are dangerous chemicals in the food and water. Hair can tell another important secret—whose hair is it? This can be used to help solve crimes.

Hair does so many things for us. It keeps us warm and cool, helps farmers, shows mysteries, and provides endless styling fun. One thing is for sure, it's not just for wigs any more.

Early on the morning of September 19, 1910, Hiller's wife noticed that the light which they usually left on was off. When Hiller went to find out what was happening, he saw a stranger at the top of the stairs. The stranger had broken in and wanted to steal. Hiller and the stranger started to fight, but the stranger had a gun. He shot Hiller twice and ran away.

Hiller's wife ran to Hiller when she heard the gunshots but found him dead. So she called the police. Soon after, the police caught Thomas Jennings, not far from the Hillers' house.

The only problem was no one saw the criminal. However, the police had started using fingerprinting at that time. According to Hiller's wife, only several hours before Hiller's death, he had painted some wood near the kitchen window. Then the police checked the wood completely and found some fingerprints in the wet paint.

During the trial (审判), the police proved that the fingerprints belonged to Jennings, and he was convicted of Hiller's murder. Since then, fingerprinting has helped in the conviction of hundreds of thousands of criminals.

In March 2006, burglars broke into a zoo in Queensland, Australia. They planned to steal a koala. Everybody loves koalas, right? With their big round eyes, flat noses, thick fur coat and hairy ears, these cute animals have become a popular symbol of Australia. However, appearances can be tricky. The koala at the zoo was very fierce. Soon the burglars had deep scratches (抓痕) from the koala's sharp claws (爪), so they decided to steal something easier. They stole a crocodile instead!

Koalas are interesting animals. A koala mother carries her baby, called a joey, in a warm pouch, or pocket, on her stomach. Koalas eat only the oily leaves of eucalyptus trees (桉树). These leaves are harmful to many other animals, but koalas eat about two and a half pounds (just over one kilo) every night. There is enough water in these leaves, so koalas do not drink very much. In fact, in one local Australian language the word koala means "no drink".

One hot day, three birds sat at the top of a tree near a river. "There's nothing to do," said Pink Bird. "1—nothing to do except sit in this big old tree," said Black Bird. "Yes," said White Bird. "Another2 hot day."

"Hey, birds," said Crocodile (鳄鱼). He was listening from3, floating (漂浮) on the warm water. "See those three large stones on the bank? They are about the same size. Let's see which one of you can fly the highest while carrying one of the stones with your feet, whoever4 will be the Best Flier."

"What a great idea!" White Bird jumped out of the tree and went for the stones. The other5 birds quickly followed.

"They won't fly far with the heavy stones," thought Crocodile. "When they fall into the6, I'll get a free lunch!"

"Ready?" shouted Crocodile. "Go!" Then he7, "Or should I say lunchtime?"

The three birds lifted off8 climbed high into the air.

Pink, black, and white feathers floated down from the sky.

"9 birds," Crocodile said with a huge, toothy smile. "I can't believe they really listened to me." He looked up, waiting for them to fall out of the sky, but they10 flying.

After a while, the three birds flew11 and rested with their stones in the same tree.

"Oh, my dear!12 your bodies have changed because of the big stones!" The floating Crocodile opened his mouth wide and13 loud and hard, waiting for his free lunch.

"One, two, go!" The three birds let go of their big stones14. All three stones dropped straight down, right into Crocodile's huge, open, laughing mouth. The sudden15 made him sink (沉) into the river. Only his eyes showed above the water.

Remember: Use our head, and we will find a way out.
