Ever felt stuck on a math problem, only to solve it after a walk? That's your brain taking a "break" and science says it's more important than you think.
When we focus hard, our brains use a lot of energy. After 45-60 minutes, they start to feel tired, making it harder to concentrate. Taking short breaks, called "mental rests", lets them recharge. But not all breaks are equal: scrolling through phones doesn't count. Why? Because screens keep your brain active, flooding it with new information and stopping it from relaxing.
So what works? Moving your body: a quick jog, stretching, or even just walking around the classroom. Nature helps too — studies show looking at trees or grass for 5 minutes boosts focus by 15%. Another good choice? Daydreaming. Letting your mind wander can spark (激发) creativity, like when a writer gets ideas for a story while staring out the window.
Timing matters too. Experts suggest the "5-5 rule": work for 50 minutes, then rest for 5. Next time you're stuck, try this: set a timer for 5 minutes, step outside, and listen to birds. You might be surprised how much clearer your brain feels when you get back to work—ready to tackle that problem with fresh energy.
(1)、Why does the writer mention the math problem at the beginning of the passage?A、To share a surprising study result. B、To draw readers' attention to the topic. C、To explain how to solve difficult math problems. D、To show that walking is good for physical health.(2)、How can daydreaming help?A、It makes us forget difficult tasks. B、It can increase creativity. C、It helps us fall asleep quickly. D、It improves math skills.(3)、Which best explains the underlined word "boosts" in Paragraph 3?boost /buːst/
① to increase or improve something.
② to make someone feel happier or more confident.
③ to push someone up with your hands.
④ to make a loud noise.
A、① B、② C、③ D、④(4)、What can we infer from the "50-5 rule" in Paragraph 4?A、Students should rest for 5 minutes every hour. B、The longer the break, the better the brain works. C、Working non-stop can lead to bad study results. D、We must set a timer to solve math problems quickly. -

Cities are growing, and green spaces are shrinking. But a new idea — "vertical forests" — is changing this. These are buildings covered with thousands of plants, turning concrete towers into living ecosystems.
The first vertical forest opened in Milan, Italy, in 2014. It has two towers, with over 900 trees and 20,000 smaller plants like bushes and flowers. The plants aren't just for beauty. They absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), the gas that warms the planet, and release oxygen. They also block sunlight, keeping the buildings cool in summer and reducing the need for air conditioning.
But how do the plants survive (存活)? Special systems water them through pipes hidden in the walls. The trees are chosen for their size, so they won't grow too tall and damage the building. Roots are contained in strong pots to prevent them from breaking windows or walls.
Critics say vertical forests are expensive to build and maintain. However, supporters argue the benefits are worth it. In addition to fighting pollution, the forests attract birds and insects, bringing nature back to busy cities. "They show that humans and nature can live together in harmony," says architect Stefano Boeri, who designed the Milan towers.
(1)、What is a "vertical forest"?A、A tower made entirely of concrete. B、A large park in the middle of a city. C、A building covered with many plants. D、A forest where trees grow extremely tall.(2)、What is one benefit of vertical forests mentioned?A、They make buildings look older and more traditional. B、They reduce the need for air conditioning in summer. C、They allow plants to grow much taller than normal. D、They provide free food from fruit trees for people.(3)、What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A、Why the roots are safe. B、How tall the trees can grow. C、Where the plants are placed. D、How plants live in vertical forests.(4)、What do supporters of vertical forests believe?A、They cost much but bring more good. B、Only large cities can benefit from them. C、They will replace all traditional buildings soon. D、Humans and nature can live together peacefully. -

Noah had never paid attention to the stray cats in his neighborhood. He often walked past them without a second look, focusing only on his own life — schoolwork, video games, and hanging out with friends. He thought caring for small animals was something kind people did, not something he needed to bother with.
One rainy evening, he found a tiny cat trembling under his window. It was weak and could not even stand up. Noah hesitated for a moment, then took it inside quietly. He dried it with a towel, fed it warm milk, and made a soft bed for it. That night, he stayed up late worrying about the cat.
As days passed, the cat got better and closer to Noah. It followed him around the house and curled up on his desk when he studied. For the first time, Noah felt a strong sense of responsibility. He started learning about how to look after stray animals, preparing food and clean water for them every day. He even put up posters to help other stray cats find homes.
His parents were surprised to see his change. "You used to be a boy who only cared about himself," his mom said. "Now you're kind and responsible." Noah smiled. He realized that kindness was not a difficult thing. It started with small actions, and it could warm both others' hearts and his own.
From then on, Noah became a person who noticed and helped the helpless around him. He learned that the greatest happiness in life comes from giving, not receiving.
(1)、What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A、Noah was self-centered before. B、Noah disliked all small animals. C、Noah lived a busy and hard life. D、Noah had no close friends at school.(2)、What was Noah's feeling when he first took the cat home?A、Angry but patient. B、Uncertain but kind. C、Confident and excited. D、Frightened and nervous.(3)、What made Noah start to change?A、Parents' encouragement. B、Looking after the stray cat. C、Making friends with others. D、Learning from kind people.(4)、What is the main idea of the passage?A、Keeping pets is a good way to relax. B、Small acts of kindness can change a person. C、Parents play an important role in kids' growth. D、Stray animals need human care and protection. -

11、 根据短文内容回答下列问题。
At the 2nd Liaoning Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Cultural Night Market, Seth Nkrumah, a doctoral student from Africa, skillfully took the pulse (脉搏) of an elderly woman. "Your pulse is a bit fast. Do you have high blood lipids (脂质)?" he asked, using the four diagnostic (诊断的) methods — looking, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking — he learned at Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (LNUTCM).
"I can use what I learned in real life and meet people of different ages and in different health conditions," Seth said. "When I felt the old woman's pulse, it felt deep, which often shows high blood lipids. She said I was right when I asked her!" This was Seth's second time at the TCM Night Market. He sees it as a great chance to practice what he's learned.
Seth said, "In the future, I plan to start a clinic (诊所) and a training center in my hometown. I'll not only treat people but also train more TCM practitioners (从业人员). TCM isn't just about treating illnesses—it's a way of life. I believe people everywhere can benefit from learning about it."
This year, students from 9 countries at LNUTCM's International Education College joined the night market. Liu Jingfeng, the college's director, said more people worldwide are interested in TCM. "When these foreign students go back to their countries after graduation, they can help TCM become more popular all around the world. At our college, we teach not only medical knowledge but also the culture behind TCM, so they can spread Chinese medical culture to the world," he said.
(1)、Where is Seth Nkrumah from?(2)、What are the four diagnostic methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine?(3)、How did Seth feel when he said "She said I was right when I asked her!"?(4)、What does Seth plan to do in his hometown in the future?(5)、What else in Chinese traditional culture would you like to spread around the world? Explain the reason. (No more than 20 words.) -

Can you imagine talking with some historic characters in person? You open your history textbook and see Confucius, Leonardo da Vinci, or Marie Curie step out of the pages to talk to you! Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), this dream is becoming reality in history classes around the world.
In Wuhan Gangcheng No. 4 Middle School, students ask questions to a 3D-animated (动画) Confucius. One student once asked, "Does ‘ren' (kindness) still matter in a world full of competition?" The digital Confucius smiled and then explained how kindness helps people live together peacefully. This isn't magic—it's AI! Using tools like Jimeng and Keling, teachers can turn textbook pictures into lively characters. These AI tools add details (细节) to old paintings, make the characters move, and even let them speak. For example, the digital poet Li Bai can recite (背诵) his own poems with gentle expressions.
AI isn't just fun; it's changing how we study. In Nanjing's Stone Shadow Art Museum, AI turns ancient Chinese paintings into modern art styles. After a history class about the Maya civilization (文明) with the help of AI-made videos, a student Sean said, "History isn't just dates anymore. Learning history is like touching the past with the help of AI."
From old books to smart screens, the ways of learning are always developing. With AI, textbook characters aren't just words anymore—they're friends who guide us through the amazing journey of knowledge.

In a forest, there lived a group of happy little birds. Among them was a small sparrow (麻雀). It was smaller and clumsier (笨拙的) than the other birds.
When the sun shone brightly, the other birds would quickly fly out of their homes. They moved freely through the air, singing and catching insects. But the little sparrow had trouble flying because its wings were weak.
One day, after another failed flight, the little sparrow felt sad. "Why can't I fly well?" it said quietly. An old owl (猫头鹰) nearby heard it and said, "Don't worry, little one. The early bird catches the worm (虫子). If you practice more and start earlier, you will get better."
The little sparrow decided to try harder. From then on, it woke up earlier than the other birds. In the quiet morning, it practiced waving its wings and flying between branches. Even when it fell off the trees again and again, it didn't give up—it tried again and again.
After many days of practice, the little sparrow could fly freely, just like its friends. When the other birds saw this, they were surprised at how well the little sparrow could fly now.
The little sparrow became an example for all the birds in the forest. Its story showed that even if you start slowly or make mistakes, hard work and persistence (坚持) can help you succeed.
