1、In a hospital bakery in Kunming, Yunnan province, customers are greeted by the mixed scents of medicinal herbs and freshly baked bread. Ingredients such as goji berries, jujubes and rose hips, commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), are added to loaves that are produced inside the hospital. As soon as the bread is ready, long lines often form, showing the growing popularity of this unusual combination.
By blending TCM with modern baking, hospital bakeries have become attractive destinations for young consumers who care about health. Many of them believe such bread can provide both daily nourishment (营养) and mild health benefits. Wu Min, a visitor from Sichuan province, said she bought dozens of loaves as gifts after learning about the bakery online, a practice that has become common among young travelers.
This trend is not limited to large cities. In Xishuangbanna, a hospital produces Swiss rolls containing sour rose hips, following the local Dai tradition of adding medicinal plants to food. Similarly, a hospital in Guizhou province has introduced "fish mint bread", combining a local ingredient with baking to satisfy both curiosity and health awareness. According to hospitals, these products aim to make traditional medicine part of everyday life.
Experts point out that young people today face health problems caused by heavy workloads and irregular schedules. While they pay increasing attention to health management, many prefer affordable and convenient solutions. They are more willing to embrace the concept of "food as medicine". A recent report shows that people aged 18 to 35 account for 83.7 percent of health and wellness consumers in China, and social media has played a key role in spreading related trends.
However, specialists also warn of potential risks. Many medicinal breads fail to clearly state the types and amounts of herbal ingredients or provide dietary guidance. Without clear industry standards, consumers may develop unrealistic expectations. Experts stress that such products should be viewed with caution, as improper promotion could damage public trust in traditional Chinese medicine in the long term.

2、At the beginning of each school year, a group of students wearing blue vests can be seen in the canteen of Shaoxing University in Zhejiang Province. They are volunteers recruiting new members for a tutoring program that offers free academic help to children from disadvantaged families, especially those with disabilities. The program aims to use knowledge to support children who need extra care and attention in their studies.
Wang Sihan, an 18-year-old freshman majoring in early childhood education, noticed the booth and stopped to learn more. She decided to join because the program was closely related to her major, and she wanted to put what she learned into practice. As a volunteer, Wang tutors a young girl with language development delays, and the slow progress has taught her to take the work seriously and stay patient. Like many new volunteers, Wang did not realize that she was becoming part of a program with a history of nearly thirty years. The tutoring program has long been one of the university's most important volunteer activities.
According to Yang Yifan, a university official, the program was started by students who hoped to give back to society through knowledge. Over the years, it has worked with local volunteer groups and organizations supporting people with disabilities, which has helped it reach more families in need. Volunteers visit local communities, learn about each child's situation, and then provide one-on-one tutoring. So far, nearly 1,500 students have taken part in the program, offering more than 27,000 hours of service and helping hundreds of children.
The tutoring program not only helps children improve their studies, but also benefits the volunteers themselves. Through tutoring, students become more patient, responsible, and aware of social needs. By sharing knowledge, volunteers and children grow together, showing that small actions can really change lives.

3、For many people, international travel usually means departing from major cities and paying high airfares. However, a growing number of young Chinese travelers are discovering a smarter and cheaper way to fly abroad: combining high-speed rail with international flights from smaller cities. This trend is changing how people plan trips and how tourism develops.
Cheaper gateway
Instead of flying directly from cities like Beijing or Shanghai, travelers now take high-speed trains to nearby second or third-tier cities and catch international flights there. These newly opened routes often cost far less. For example, flights from smaller airports such as Datong or Yuncheng can be less than half the price of those from major hubs. In addition, these airports are usually more efficient, with shorter lines and simpler procedures, making the travel experience more relaxed.
Smart deals
Experts point out that this trend is not just about saving money. Young travelers are making careful choices to improve the value of their trips. By spending less on transportation, they can afford better food, accommodation and activities. Low ticket prices are made possible by cooperation between airlines, travel agencies and local governments, which offer subsidies to reduce operating costs. As a result, affordable international travel has become a regular option rather than a luxury.
Tourism boost
Cheap international flights also help attract foreign visitors. With more direct routes and visa-free policies, smaller cities are becoming new entry points to China. This not only increases tourist numbers but also boosts local hotels, restaurants and employment. In this way, smart travel choices are benefiting both travelers and local economics.
(1)、Why do many travelers choose to depart from smaller cities?A、To avoid crowds during major holidays B、To enjoy better services at large airports C、To save money and travel more efficiently D、To explore local attractions before departure(2)、What can be inferred about young travelers' travel choices?A、They value overall travel experience. B、They depend largely on policy support. C、They focus mainly on cutting travel costs. D、They prefer cultural travel to leisure travel.(3)、What is the effect of cheap international flights?A、They mainly benefit outbound travel agencies. B、They increase competition among major cities. C、They reduce the need for visa-free travel policies. D、They attract more visitors and support local economies. -

17、My father grew up in Chicago and loved the local team Cubs (小熊队) his whole life. I loved my dad, so the Cubs1 me too. When I went back home after school or work, I always watched the Cubs with him. Two decades after my father's2, every time I watch the Cubs on television, I think of him and3 with him in my head about their game.
Perhaps baseball is too4 a thing for father and son to connect over. A ball game might seem, frankly, sort of5 compared with family and career concerns. But that is6 what makes it ideal for forming relationships. We had nothing to7 as we watched them play, except for the8 of enjoying the games together as father and son, which was much greater than it would have been, if either of us had9 without the other. The Cubs were the "place" where we met to enjoy being10.

19、Anne of Green Gables is ideally meant for children — one might think so when seeing the cover or reading through the back page of the masterpiece. It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today's world where we forget to live in the present.
It tells of the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan (孤儿)girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea. The novel describes how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.
The book teaches me a lot of things, the most important being — to be who you are. Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better? We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first. As is described in the book, Anne is a colorful and ever-growing character. She "has as many shades as a rainbow and every shade is the prettiest while it lasts." Each aspect of her personality is beautiful, which makes her unique and interesting.
Another important concept that is illustrated remarkably well is the importance of taking joy in the world around us. Anne's obvious wonder-struck appreciation of life made me truly appreciate the small things. Here is my favourite quote (引言) from Chapter 19:
I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.
Anne's influence has deeply shaped who I am today. This classic novel truly highlights the importance of self-love and gratitude. With its uplifting and refreshing story, it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey.
(1)、What do we know about Anne of Green Gables?A、It is a recent release. B、It covers real events. C、It is a timeless classic. D、It features world history.(2)、What can we learn about Anne from paragraph 3?A、She is true to herself. B、She achieves her goal. C、She is talented in drawing. D、She cares about others.(3)、Which of the following best matches the quote from Chapter 19?A、Time waits for no man. B、Do one thing at a time. C、Fortune favours the brave. D、Stop and smell the roses.(4)、What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A、To tell a story. B、To remember a writer. C、To teach a lesson. D、To recommend a book. -
