Long before Wikipedia and Encyclopaedia Britannica, there was Historia Naturalis. Its writer was Pliny the Elder. Pliny worked hard and read a lot. His helper read to him while he was having meals and while he was bathing. His helper even carried him around Rome in a chair while he was reading. He thought walking was a waste of time.

It was thought to be the oldest encyclopaedia in history. Historia Naturalis covered almost everything, from mice to Mars. "No Roman writer has completed such a project," Pliny said proudly. Unluckily, two years after the encyclopaedia appeared, Pliny died.

The world always changes, and accidents can hardly be stopped. Editors of encyclopaedias like Pliny collect and write down the knowledge of our world. I think an encyclopaedia is not only a record of what its editors know, but also a record of what they don't know.

Pliny was wrong when he said there were seven planets, including the Sun and the Moon. After all, Historia Naturalis was a book thousands of years ago. Those were all Pliny knew at that time.

Similarly, both Wikipedia and Encyclopaedia Britannica have some wrong information.

Roger Lewinter, an American researcher, thinks encyclopaedias can't record all human knowledge, but just some of it. They can never be completed. They are always waiting for someone—perhaps you—to improve them.

A. Historia Naturalis came out in 77 AD.

B. Pliny took notes carefully all the time.

C. Luckily, these things can be written down.

D. Even the best encyclopaedias only show what their editors know.

E. He was also wrong when he said Africans were black because of the Sun.

What happened to personal information online?

Many free apps get paid by businesses who want to know about the users of the apps. What a business wants is the exact information about customers. Data brokers collect your data—everything from your name, location and education level to the topics you search for, the websites you visit and the people you follow. And then, sell them to businesses.

________?

The data is valuable. Businesses can use the information from data brokers to target their ads. It means they will show their ads to the people who are most likely to be interested in their products or services.

What can we do about it?

Many countries have made laws to protect personal information. For example, a law in the United States says businesses must get parents' permission (许可) to collect personal data from kids under 13. China's law on personal information protection came into effect (生效) on November 1st, 2021. At the same time, we should try to protect our data. If an app asks for something like your location, consider saying "No" first. In short, information about you is very valuable. Try to protect it.

I saw the quote every day while walking home from school. One day I decided to write one of my favourite quotes on the fence for someone else to see. When I came back to the fence, I saw another quote under mine. I added another, and we kept at this pattern for quite a while.

A few days later, I was writing another quote on the fence. And the old man, one of my neighbours, who owned the fence, saw me. He came out and I was afraid he would be angry with me for writing on his fence. He was not known to be a very friendly person. He looked at me angrily and then read the quotes on the fence. Without saying a word, he went back inside. I was terrified for a while, but when I went back to the fence. I noticed two words had been added: "Thank you".

Later, I saw the old man in his front yard. He called me over and told me that he was glad to see that young people still had values. We are now good friends. I still don't know who wrote that very first quote, but I'd like to say thank you to that unknown hero.

Olivier Jean-Baptiste, 26, is from France. He is living in China now and he likes recording his life here with videos. The 1 of visiting China first came to him when his uncle, who worked in China, returned with endless praise (赞美) for the Chinese lifestyle.

Later, a Chinese woman 2 him to the everyday life of Chinese people. He also learnt to use apps like Weixin and Alipay, which showed him a(n) 3 way of living. The woman later became his wife and they moved to Beijing in 2022.

Jean-Baptiste's Chinese friends were also very 5 to him. When he was in trouble, they always helped him without asking for anything in return. They 6 Jean-Baptiste and even treated him like family.

All of these 7 made Jean-Baptiste want to learn more about Chinese culture. He visited many places in China, like the Great Wall and the Terracotta Army Museum.

After learning about China's visa-free policy (免签政策), his family and friends couldn't wait to book their trip to China.

An Unforgettable Festival

As we all know, there are many traditional festivals in China. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now foreigners from many countries can stay in China for 144 hours without a visa (签证). The number of foreign visitors is.

Susan, from Canada, visited Shanghai and Hangzhou. During her stay, she found it was so in China. When she ordered food at the hotel, a robot helper would make its way to her room. That saved time. Ordering food became easy for her. When she traveled around the cities, she found there was no to use cash (现金). She could travel everywhere with just a phone.

"Chinese food me to visit China," said Kevin, a visitor from the US. In Beijing, he tasted some local delicious foods. For example, he tried Beijing duck for the time and found it so nice. He also went to the Great Wall and felt like he was in ancient China.

These days, this policy (政策) received a warm welcome. More and more foreign visitors come to China to experience the lives of Chinese people. China has become a hot place to go to.

Enjoying a good dinner with family.

Chinese people think the round shape of the moon stands for the reunion of the family. The most common way to celebrate is to have dinner with the family on the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The public holiday (usually 3 days) is mainly for Chinese people to have enough time to return home. Those people who stay too far away from their parents' homes usually get together with their friends.

Eating mooncakes.

Mooncakes are the must-eat food at the Mid-Autumn Festival. Most mooncakes are sweet. There are some mooncakes that have special flavors, for example, the salty mooncakes with meat. People eat mooncakes or give mooncakes to their relatives or friends as presents to express their love and best wishes.

Admiring the moon. (赏月)

It's said that the moon on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the brightest and the most beautiful. Chinese people usually set a table outside their houses and sit together to admire the full moon. Parents with little kids often tell the story of Chang'e. As a game, kids try their best to find the shape of Chang'e on the moon.

Making and enjoying lanterns.

Lanterns are an important part of the Mid-Autumn Festival. People can make lanterns and hang them in trees and houses. They can also visit public lantern displays. Chinese people have connected lanterns with the festival since the Tang Dynasty. That's probably because lanterns stand for good luck, light and reunion.

As the world marks (纪念) the 80th anniversary of the victory over fascism, a moving Chinese film, Dead To Rights (officially titled in English, known in Chinese as《南京照相馆》), gives us a special look at history. Unlike traditional war movies that focus on battlefields, it tells a story through a small photo studio during the 1937 Nanjing Massacre.

In the fallen city, ordinary people find safety in Jixiang Photo Studio. One of them is a postman, played by Liu Haoran. He pretends to be an apprentice. Forced to develop films for Japanese soldiers, he accidentally finds photos that show their cruel crimes. At first, they fight just to stay alive—but soon, this becomes a mission (任务) to guard the truth. They promise to pass on this solid evidence, no matter what.

Dead To Rights tries something new with its "small people witnessing big history" story. It turns national pain into a shared memory on screen. Its success comes not only from careful technical work. Realistic sets, the local dialect (方言) and other small but meaningful details all play a part. More importantly, it connects with people's feelings. When the studio owner Lao Jin shouts," Every inch of our beautiful land must never be given up," or when modern Nanjing streets are intercut (镜头切换) with wartime ruins, viewers see not just history coming to life like a photo, but a symbol of a strong, unbroken civilization (文明).

The film does not show big war scenes. Instead, it uses the photo studio to show how ordinary people wake up and fight back in the big waves of history. It makes audiences feel deeply the great sacrifices (牺牲) our ancestors made to protect truth and dignity. It is a serious look back and a deep thought on history. This is also proof of why it is called Dead To Rights—the solid evidence (证据), kept safe by courage, always reminds us to remember the past and cherish (珍惜) today's peace.

Chinese has become a popular language to learn around the world. How do foreign people usually learn it? Of course, everyone has his or her own ways of learning it. For many young people in Myanmar (缅甸), they now enjoy learning it1 singing Chinese songs.

Ko Si Thu, a 27-year-old engineer from Myanmar, is2 active Chinese learner. He once took a Chinese lesson at the China Cultural Center. After learning about the new Chinese singing lessons at the center, he decided3 them. He believes music can help him a lot, although he doesn't consider4 a good singer. Learning Chinese has made him develop a5 love for Chinese culture than before. "I feel connected to Chinese culture. I'm also interested in tea-making and Tai Chi," he said.

Ma Pwint Hayman Tun is another learner at the center. She has learned Chinese for over three years,6 she didn't try Chinese songs at first. Because of her love for dancing and singing, she7 chose the lessons to improve her Chinese after learning about Chinese singing lessons. "I enjoy all8, especially classic ones. Some of them are hard to understand, but I can feel the emotions (情感)," she said.

People speak different languages, but they9 share the same feelings through music. The number of Chinese learners in Myanmar10 now. Singing Chinese songs is certainly a way to understand and learn about Chinese culture for them.

Dear Sue,

I have a problem and I need your help. My parents are really strict with me.

they care about me, sometimes I feel quite nervous. Last Sunday, my friends invited me to play soccer, but my parents (refuse). They wanted me to go to animal hospital to volunteer. They said it was important to learn to care for others. In the end, I went. I spent many hours (look) after the animals there. Yesterday, I wanted to go to the movies with my friends after school. But my mom said I must help housework first. She was cleaning the living room and she asked    (I) to sweep the floor. I did it (angry). I told her I was too tired. She got mad at me. Now, we aren't talking to each other. I know she is busy and tired and I know it's not only the (parent) job to do the housework at home. But I also need some free time (relax).

(play) with friends is a good way to relax. And volunteering at the animal hospital is also something I enjoy doing. But I don't like it when they always decide everything for me. Do you think I'm right?

What should I do?

I'm looking forward to your reply.

Best regards.

A few years later, I saw the only twig started to die. The lower branches (树枝) became poor. Only the top was still green. I did my best to save it, but it didn't work.   

Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I wondered if it would be better to just cut it down. However, I saw something moving on the branches. It was a robin (知更鸟) building its home there! I was surprised when I looked at it. I thought maybe this tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or beautiful, but it still gave a bird a home. It made me know that nothing is meaningless. Until we die, we still have things to do, love to give, and joy to share.   

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答下面问题。

Many birds fly from one place to another. Most of the time, they live in the wild, such as forests and wetlands. They might see small trees and flowers inside a window and want to rest on these plants. The birds do not know there is glass between them and the plants.

Some birds fly at night. They use the moon and stars to help guide them in the right direction. Tall buildings with lights on at night can confuse (迷惑) the birds. The birds see the light, but they cannot tell that the light is coming from inside a building. They fly toward the light and crash into a building. On many mornings, there might be several dead birds lying on the ground.

Many office buildings now turn off their lights at night. This helps reduce the number of birds that fly into buildings and it also helps save energy.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A. The answer is glass.

B. People are trying to solve the problem.

C. These birds have no idea what glass is.

D. As a result, they fly right into the glass.

E. This is a big problem, especially on foggy and rainy nights.
