This is a typical(典型的) day for Yang Jinlong.
At 9 a. m. , he drives to primary schools and middle schools in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, to teach students about Shaanxi kuaiban. It is a traditional Chinese form of storytelling to the rhythm(节奏) of bamboo clappers(响板), which the art form is named after. Sometimes, he helps students prepare for competitions. Usually, his classes run until about 6. p.m. , and then he returns home to prepare classes for the next day.
On June 10, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced 325 national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产) items in Beijing, increasing the list to 1, 557 items. Shaanxi kuaiban, which appeared during the late Qing Dynasty, has been included. The art form has been introduced to local schools as part of their art education.
Yang has been teaching young people the art form since 2003 after graduating from the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing. He studied quyi there. Quyi is general term for Chinese folk art forms, including storytelling, crosstalk and clapper talk.
“Art education is important for students in China. Just as many students learn to play Western musical instruments like the piano and violin, there are many people learning traditional Chinese folk arts, including Shaanxi kuaiban, which I’ll work for my whole life,” he said.
Kuaiban is popular in northern China, including Beijing and Tianjin. According to Yang, Shaanxi kuaiban was influenced by the art of different areas. The art form can be played by a group of players or only one. With one or two pairs of kuaiban of different sizes in hand, the players speak in the local dialect(方言) while telling stories, which are usually about heroes. The player tells stories while playing kuaiban, and it’s easy for the watchers to remember the stories since all the lines rhym.
Thanks to artists like Yang, this traditional Chinese form of storytelling is passed on and stays alive in our country.

AQ is the ability of a person to think, manage, experience and overcome difficult situations. ___(1)__ But now, just like IQ, it is also important to develop our ability to rise in challenging(挑战性的)or difficult situations and improve our AQ. I would like to share my ideas on how to deal with countless difficult situations.
Exercise and walk. Whenever a difficult situation happens, try to exercise or walk at least 30 minutes a day. __(2)__ And the problems with your study will no longer trouble you, since you’ve cleared your mind and you’re sure you’ll make it.
__(3)__ If allowed, when a difficult situation happens, it’s best to take a break to think and cool down. You can go to a cafe and read a book you’ve been wanting to read but had no time. ___(4)__ When you take your mind off your problems, you’ll find yourself much better no matter what they are.
Last but not least, once you have overcome the difficult situations, be kind to yourself by giving yourself a prize. It may not be something expensive. It can be an experience or something that will make you feel fulfilled and pleased. __(5)__
Even if there are still difficult situations in my life now, the list above has helped me better than before. I hope it will help you too in overcoming whatever difficult situations you are going through.

It is easy to believe that the daily life of a plant is simple and boring. They seem to just stand there and sunbathe. In fact, plants are always busy doing many things. Measuring(估量)light is one of them. This activity helps plants to plan better for the future.
To start with, we should know how plants feel the light. In fact, there are some special proteins(蛋白质) in their cell(细胞). Once receiving light, they will call on other cells to produce, resulting in the growth towards the light.
Then what can plants get from measuring the changes in the amount(量)of daylight? This helps them to tell what time of the year it is. If a plant is beginning to get more daylight, it knows it’s spring. Because of this, it may then start producing flowers.
If the amount of daylight starts to get low, the plant knows that autumn is coming. It may start to store “food” for its growth. For example, the potato plant will make tubers(块茎)—the potatoes that we eat.
Plants record not only the amount of daylight they receive, but also the quality(质量) of light. Some forms of light can help plants grow better. Direct sunlight, for example, works better than light that is being separated through the leaves of other plants. A plant can’t get the right form of light when it is prevented from getting light by other plants. It may then begin to grow taller or produce larger leaves in order to get more sunlight.

(3). What do tubers do for a potato plant?
A. | They store light for it. |
B. | They eat its natural enemies. |
C. | They help it get more light. |
D. | They keep food for its growth. |

Last term, I took a pottery (陶艺) class at the local art center. One day, when I started rolling the clay (黏土) into a long snake, as my teacher told me, the boy next to me was still hitting his clay loudly. I said, “Hey, our teacher asks us to make a snake now.” He paid no attention and continued. Worried he wouldn’t have time to make his snake, I rolled out an extra (额外的) one. “Here,” I said. “You can have this if you like.”
“Do you always tell everyone what to do?” he shouted.
What did I do to make him angry at me?
The next class, I found a different seat. But the boy was surprisingly quiet during class. Walking past him, I noticed him making a cool box. He saw me looking at him and glared. “Are you planning to tell me how to do this, too?” I felt my face get hot and I almost thought I would cry.
When I arrived at the art center for the next class, I happened to hear the talk between that boy and his mother. It turned out his father was leaving them and his mother just wanted him to stay with his grandma for a while.
It seemed everyone was to tell him what to do! No wonder he didn’t want me to tell him what to do!
We don’t always know what’s going on in other people’s lives or why they act in their ways. We should give them some space, and give us space too if the ways they’re acting are hurting us. But remember to stay kind. There’s a good chance their unfriendliness is not about us at all.

A community cleanup brings volunteers(志愿者)together to clean, repair, and improve public spaces or other areas that have been filled with rubbish or destroyed(破坏). Cleanup projects can include all kinds of public spaces—parks, playground, and even parking lots. Cleanups show that people care about its appearance. Crime(犯罪)is less likely to happen when a neighborhood is clean, and used by neighbors and their friends. By cleaning a used park or playground, more people would like to play there and protect them, which makes the community safer. ◎A cleanup can be a one-time event(事件). The activity can also continue by moving the cleanup from one place to another—for example, from the school playground to a neighborhood park. ※Sharing the work—letting people do different jobs that interest them makes each new cleanup a fresh chance for volunteers. Make sure your community cleanup goals(目标)are realistic. It’s a good idea to start with a project that can be finished in one afternoon and then turn to larger projects. Whether your cleanup project is a one-time event or a year-long task, don’t forget to celebrate the results. Take photos and videos, then post them on the Internet and write thank-you letters to those who helped. Making a meal at the end can make volunteers look forward to working together again. |

We all know doing exercise makes us healthy. But many of us don’t know which is better, to exercise in the day or at night. Dr. Yang, a famous sleep doctor, advises people to do outdoor exercise for at least 30 minutes a day in the daytime.
Dr. Yang has been doing research on sports and sleep for years. He finds out that those who exercise in natural light for half an hour every day have better sleep and more energy(能量). Dr. Yang himself gets up at 6:30 a.m. Then he usually takes a walk outside. Sometimes, he walks his two dogs in the park in the afternoon with his sunglasses left at home.
Many schools put Dr. Yang’s findings into practice. They made it a rule that students should do outdoor exercise once or twice a day. In some schools, students even formed outdoor running clubs. After some time, most students said they benefited(受益) a lot from outdoor exercise. Now they sleep better and concentrate(集中) more than their studies.
Some students are now thinking about inviting their teachers to join them in their daily runs.

Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber. He has climbed many high mountains in the world. Starting in 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure(探险)in South America, covering 7,800 miles. He was even named Adventure of the Year by a famous geography magazine in 2018.
Although Jerry had achieved great success, he didn’t feelfulfilled. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains? Am I doing something helpful? How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world?”
Jerry learned that scientists need plants, rocks and water samples(样本)from the places far away to do research. But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach——only the bravest adventurers can make it. Jerry thought himself could do something to help. He then came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventures to collect samples for scientists. By studying the samples, scientists could know more about the earth and find ways to protect it.
Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special plant life of Mountain Qomolangma. The samples they brought back have helped scientists how plants live in extreme(极端的)conditions.
For Jerry, this kind of adventure is most satisfying. “Such adventures had made us see life in a different way. Now, being the best climber isn’t important for me, what matters is doing something helpful while climbing the mountains. There is still much more we can do.” Jerry said to a newspaper.

Once there were four beggars (乞丐). One day, they met at an old temple at night. They were very upset because none of them had much to eat.
“I only got this piece of meat today.” the first said. “I almost got nothing,” the second said, “I just picked up a potato outside the vegetable store during the day.” The third said that all he had was a small bottle of salt. The fourth beggar had not done much better, “I only got some old beans, but they aren’t very mice!”
As they sat around the fire, the beggar with only a bottle of salt had a great idea “Let’s put all our things together and boil them. In this way, we can make a tasty dish and share it.” They all agreed. However, the first beggar thought, “I don’t want to share. I’ll just pretend to throw my meat into the pot. They’ll never know and I’ll eat my meat alone later.” So he pretended to put the meat into the pot. And at the same time the other beggars had similar ideas to him. At that time, the temple was too dark for the beggars to see what the others were doing.
Finally, one of them suggested that the dish should be ready and, in turn, each of them helped himself to it. They drank the hot water in silence, learning that selfishness (自私) doesn’t taste all that good.

“I could tell it was him by the way he walked.” If you’ve ever said that, you understand biometrics(生物识别技术). Biometric technology is an important topic in our work and private lives. It includes the use of finger prints or knowing a person’s voice. It is the science about what a person looks like and how a person does things. Like tree leaves, no two human beings are exactly the same. They’ve got different eyes and different hair. And everyone has a different way of walking or moving.
This technology can tell you from others. At the moment if you travel through an airport, you need your ID card or passport. If you go to your bank to get some money, you need a card and a special number. But what should you do if you lose your passport or forget your number? Biometric technology can solve this problem. The technology is becoming more and more popular with old people because they no longer need to remember their passwords(密码).
This technology is all around us in our life. We use them to unlock a smart phone, get into our homes, start our cars without a key or even pay for our shopping.
Nothing is perfect. People are worried about the safety of their private information. However, the technology will become much better in the future, and it will become more and more important in our daily life.

Nobody wants to lose, but we must accept that losing is a part of life. After all, we can’t win all the time. However, we can learn something valuable from every failure(失败). This may help us succeed in the future. So we must know how to be a good loser.
We must not be afraid of losing. When we lose, just take it with a smile and look on the bright side of it. Failure can’t be avoided in our life. Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb(灯泡). When he was asked how he felt, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn’t work. We must know that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved success although they failed many times.
Losing is not very disgraceful. We must accept our failure and learn to take advantage of it. Remember that it can be helpful. Take action to walk out of it. When we lose, think about what we did and how we can improve. If someone else can help, we’ll be lucky enough. Maybe he or she has been through the same experience before. Many people enjoy helping others solve problems. This can save us a lot of time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future.
We should face our failure when we lose. There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer our congratulations(祝贺)to the winners and share in their happiness, we won’t feel sorry for our failure.
In a word, being a good loser will help us to succeed in life. It might be painful at the beginning, but there are many advantages. Good losers set examples to us, and most importantly, they finally win.
