Culture is more than just buildings, monuments and natural wonders. It can also be oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, religious ceremonies, festive events, knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe. There are intangible (无形的) parts of culture that are important, too.

ZvonCari, Croatia:

Recognized by UNESCO in 2009，this tradition features two to thirty people who ring the bells. They wear special clothes and hats, carrying a small tree through various villages. They ring their bells to request food and rest before continuing to the next village. Each of them returns to their own villages and burns any rubbish outside their homes.

Jultagi, Korean tightrope walking:

We're all familiar with tightrope-walking, but this Korean tradition—recognized by UNESCO in 2011—involves a comedic routine, fancy completions and lively music. The Jultagi Safeguarding Association provides training for the tradition.

Mongolian knuckle bone shooting:

Not all cultural heritages are about dancing and performing. Some, like this tradition from Mongolia that was recognized by UNESCO in 2014, are games. Teams of six to eight players attempt to land 30 marbles (弹珠) made of bones into a target zone. Each player uses individualized tools to achieve this. Different teams have different practices and skill sets, and games create an opportunity to exchange ideas.

Horseback shrimp (虾) fishing, Belgium:

Twelve families of horseback shrimpers collect shrimp twice a week in Oostdunkerke, Belgium, as well as during special occasions like festivals. This method of shrimping requires trust of one's self and one's horse, to say nothing of the knowledge required to read the sand. It joins other cultural traditions recognized by UNESCO in 2013.

Social media is often a collection of highlights of people's lives rather than a true reflection of reality. Although it can be a great tool to keep up with the lives of our friends, families and celebrities, it can also be pretty damaging as we judge our lives in comparison to those we see online.

One woman shared her experience which showed exactly why we shouldn't believe everything we see on social media. After heading for the pool, Jen watched as a young mum and her daughter entered, dressed in swimsuits. The mum took a few selfies (自拍) with her child. Jen said the young girl then asked if they could get into the pool but was told to wait while her parent took a photo of her in front of the pool.

“Mama glanced over at her but never got off the phone,” Jen wrote. “After 10 minutes mama ended her call, and then they left the pool. I sat there thinking about what I'd witnessed for a while afterwards. I imagined the photos she took being perfectly edited and posted to social media with a caption like ‘Pool time with my girl!’”

Jen then thought about another mum at home, in a messy house, tired because she’s spent her day cooking, caring, cleaning and playing with her children. “She's going to look at that photo and she is going to compare herself to the ‘ perfect mama’ at the pool. She's going to feel like a failure. She'll never know that how she spent her time that day was so much better in her children's eyes than that ‘perfect mama’ at the pool,” Jen wrote.

What we see on social media isn't always real. Sometimes, and often, it's a complete set-up. Jen later added that she in no way intended to judge the mum for her actions or her reasons for doing it, but simply wanted to say that the edited photos we see on social media “are not a full depiction of real life".

4. What can we learn about the young mum at the pool?

A. She was very familiar with Jen.

B. She liked editing the photos of her daughter.

 C. She didn't swim in the pool at all.

D. She was accompanying her daughter attentively.

5. What does Jen think of the mum in a messy house?

A. She dislikes photos on social media.

B. She does a good job as a mum.

C. She loves exploring the true story of a photo.

D. She is not so good as the “perfect mama”.

6. What does the underlined word “depiction” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Imagination        B. Comparison  

C. Description       D. Qualification

7. What does the author want to convey in the text?

A. Real life depends on social media.

B. Be yourself when using social media.

C. What we see on social media doesn't reflect real life.

D. Social media is affecting our real life.

C

Can everything be recycled? No, not all things can be recycled. But you might be surprised to learn how many things can be recycled. You may already know about plastic bottles. Did you know you can also recycle glass?

Glass can be recycled to make all sorts of things. Recycling glass really helps the planet. Making new products from recycled glass causes less air and water pollution. It also uses less energy than making new glass.

When glass arrives at a recycling plant, people and machines sort it by color. Similar colors of glass must be recycled together. That way, recycled products are as pure as possible. This makes them stronger and less likely to break. Once the glass is sorted, it's washed. That's when the breaking begins. That's right! To be recycled, glass has to be broken to make a material called cullet(碎玻璃).

Glass manufacturers love cullet. It's cheaper than the raw materials they'd need to make new glass. It also melts at a lower temperature. That means they save energy during the production process. Glass manufacturers mix cullet with other materials like sand and soda ash. Then they heat it to over 2,600℉. This makes liquid glass, which can then be poured into a mold (模具). There, it cools and forms a finished glass product.

Most recycled glass is used to make new glass containers, such as jars and bottles. However, recycled glass can also find its way into all sorts of other products including a variety of construction products.

Do you recycle at home or school? What glass products should you be sure to recycle when you’ re done with them? With everyone doing their part, recycling glass can make a huge difference to the planet!

8. What is the first step in recycling glass?

A. Sorting it according to color.      B. Cleaning it with water.

C. Removing the color in it.         D. Breaking it into cullet.

9. Why do glass manufacturers love cullet?

A. It is easy to get.              B. It helps cut costs.

C. It can be easily broken.        D. It can be mixed with other materials.

10. Why does the author ask the questions in the last paragraph?

A. To call attention to home or school environment.

B. To help readers classify glass products at home.

C. To encourage glass recycling among readers.

D. To encourage readers to use fewer glass products.

11. What is the best title for the text?

A. Recyclable things that you might have ignored.
