Last December, when An Lingfei, a doctor from an Inner Mongolia medical team, arrived in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda（卢旺达）, he set up a center in the Masaka District Hospital. Since then, the China-Rwanda Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM）Treatment Center has increased in popularity.

According to An, the center now receives an average of more than 30 people daily, with most of them suffering from lower back pain or knee and ankle joint（踝关节）pain. Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills. Locals often have to walk on mountain roads year-round, which can lead to joint stress.

“TCM has great advantages in treating these diseases, and the effects are very good.” An said. “The center now provides most kinds of TCM treatments, allowing local people to experience Eastern medicine.”

Naomin, a 60-year-old patient, is amazed by TCM. She was unable to walk due to serious pain in both knees and ankles. But after a month of treatment at the center, she is now able to walk around with a walking stick. “The treatment has been a huge help,” she said.

Another patient, Mukagatare, said that his back pain disappeared after three TCM treatments. According to him, doctors at the local hospitals had been unable to make a clear diagnosis（诊断）after many examinations, let alone reduce the pain.

Besides treating patients, the center also educates locals about TCM and Chinese culture.

April 24^th is Space Day of China. Ever since Yang Liwei made it to space in 2003, about 20 Chinese astronauts have been sent into space.

In space, astronauts face many problems. There is little gravity（重力）there, which influences their bodies. Also, being away from family and friends and staying in a tiny spaceship for a long time can make them feel sad or stressed out. What’s more, if something goes wrong suddenly, they have to fix it under huge pressure. That’s why astronauts have to be smart, strong, and ready for any challenge before they can go to space.

To make sure that Chinese astronauts complete their tasks and return to Earth safely, 8 kinds, including over 200 subjects of training, are set. Besides physical training, basic science knowledge and mock（模拟）tasks are included. Before astronauts can go to space, they train like this for at least three and a half years.

In China’s manned space project, one of the most difficult parts of the training is the underwater training. This helps astronauts get ready for the weightless environment in space. And they wear diving suits（潜水服）over 100 kilos and stay underwater for six hours every time.

（1）What problem do astronauts face according to paragraph 2?

A．	They have to train under huge pressure.

Underwater training.

China’s manned space project.

①Plants have roots, leaves, and flowers. They have seeds（种子）, too. New plants grow from seeds. Some seeds fall on the ground. New plants grow next to the old plants. When plants grow this way, they are too crowded to get enough sunshine and water. So some of them die. But some plants spread their seeds even far from where they live. These seeds grow in new places. There are many ways of the seeds’ travel.

②The wind helps seeds to travel. Some plant seeds have little wings. When the wind blows, the seeds fly away. Soon they fall to the ground and new plants may grow there. Some plants dry up. The wind pulls them from the ground, but they are so big that they can’t fly. They roll along the ground, dropping off their seeds.

③Other plants grow near the water. Their seeds drop into the water and go away with it. They may travel many miles before they stop.

④Some seeds have special parts called “stickers”. The stickers help the seeds travel far. How? These seeds wait for an animal to walk by. Then they stick into its fur to get a free ride. Sometimes it’s a long trip. Birds carry some plant seeds to new places, too.

Around 2014, he began doing volunteer work to clear rubbish from the beaches and officially registered as a volunteer in May, 2017. Li took the lead in a clean-up activity on the Sanya River.

His center has organized 51 beach-cleaning activities which have seen about 1,800 people join in since it was set up.

As language learners, it’s important to use dictionaries. Paper dictionaries are often great choices for us. They lead us to think in a more exact way.

The Four Seasons, written by the Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi, was first played about 300 years ago. Since then, it has enjoyed worldwide popularity.

The great musical work includes four parts: “Spring”, “Summer”, “Autumn” and ‘‘Winter”. Each part brings to mind the season it is meant to describe. “Summer”, for example, begins slowly. Listeners can easily picture a hot, lazy summer day when nobody wants to move. When you listen to “Autumn”, a harvest（收获）celebration will readily come to mind.

But now, Hache Costa, a music director in Spain, has decided to give the old work a fresh feel. He says the climate（气候）today is very different from what it was in the 1700s. The Four Seasons would be “a lot dirtier” if it were written now.

Costa has “updated” the musical work to make it match the realities of the modern world. The ‘“updated” musical work has been played in Madrid, Spain. The performance takes place in front of a screen. As the musicians play, a video shows the effects（影响）of climate change, such as forest fires and unusually dry weather.

After enjoying it, people find the new “Summer” now sounds noisier and more powerful. Because of global warming（全球变暖）, the other three seasons have become shorter. Costa says he expects people to feel “really sad” after listening to the new Four Seasons.

“I really want more people to become truly aware of（意识到）what is happening to our planet,” says Costa. “And I believe Vivaldi would not be angry with my changes.”

（1）What do we know about The Four Seasons?

A．	It is still unpopular now.
B．	It was written by Hache Costa.
C．	It was first played about 300 years ago.

（2）What will come to mind when we listen to the old “Autumn” according to the passage?

A．

Forest fires and dry weather.

B．

A harvest celebration.

C．

A hot lazy day.

（3）Which is close to the underlined word “updated” in meaning in Paragraph 4?

A．

提上日程

B．

追根溯源

C．

赋予新意

（4）Why did Hache Costa give the old work a fresh feel?

C．	To present the story of Antonio Vivaldi’s colorful life.

What should you do when you can’t find the time to do a long workout? Have you heard of exercise snacks （零食式锻炼）?

Exercise snacks are a popular and inventive new way for people to stay fit. Instead of spending hours on the playground, people break that “large meal” into exercise “snacks”. These exercises can last anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes. Then you can have a rest for 30 minutes to four hours before another snack.

It is reported that exercise snacks can be as useful as traditional exercise methods. Just three exercise snacks a day can benefit（使受益）your physical health. Besides that, there are lots of other benefits. Your concentration （专注力）and creativity get better, and you can become more productive. Also, “snacking” throughout the day stops you from sitting too long.

There are so many acceptable exercise snacks, like doing sit-ups, jumping rope or running up and down some stairs（楼梯）. But for those who don’t know where to start, here are some helpful exercise choices:

Exercises such as lifting weights will satisfy the needs. Since most people don’t keep weights at their offices, lift full water bottles.

Squats（深蹲）— moving your body as if to sit down while keeping your back straight. Five to ten of these should make a good snack.

For those who don5t like traditional exercises, simply turn up the music. Pick a lively song and start dancing. It’ll make for a fun workout.

What are you waiting for? Let’s get moving. Your body will thank you for it!

You may have a house robot that can do housework for you. But is it so smart? Meet Laura, a robot in the National Library in Madrid, Spain, copying out the old books and writings in its collection. See Aurora, a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1.8 meter-tall legless robot called EveR6, waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance.

Those robots above require artificial intelligence（AI）（人工智能）. AI is a computer system（系统）that can understand languages, make decisions and solve problems. AI can be taught skills using a process called machine learning. Humans give AI information such as books, photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job.

________. For example, when you watch TV, AI is watching you. It’ll know what your favorite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals, AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even invent new medicines. To cut down food waste, some schools introduce online systems for the students to choose meals ahead of time. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police and transportation teams to stop them and keep the air clean. AI can help us fight climate（气候）change by finding clever ways to reduce energy use.

Some people worry that AI will take away a large number of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of our control and bring danger to humans. However, AI is expected to be a more powerful production tool that will help humans achieve more in less time. It is believed that the flying car will be made to offer an easier way out of the morning traffic jam（交通堵塞）. Humans imagine AI might even find a way to solve the problems of our energy needs completely. Anyway, there is still a long journey for humans and AI.

（1）In which pictures can we see Aurora and EveR6?
