The Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China when people light lanterns, set off fireworks (放烟花), eat yuanxiao and enjoy family time. But do you know how this festival started?
In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Dongfang Shuo who worked for the Emperor Wu of Han. One day, Dongfang met a crying maid (哭泣的宫女) named Yuanxiao in the emperor’s garden. He asked her what happened. And the maid said she was sad because she couldn’t see her family.
Dongfang promised to help Yuanxiao. He left the garden and went to the street. He started telling people that a big fire would happen on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It was the order of the Jade Emperor. Word spread quickly and people in the city were scared.
The Emperor Wu of Han heard of it and asked Dongfang for advice. Dongfang advised him to let Yuanxiao make glutinous rice (糯米) balls for the God of Fire to make him happy. He also advised everyone in the city to put up red lanterns and set off fireworks to create an illusion that the city was on fire. Seeing this, the Jade Emperor would not set fire.
On the special day, the city was full of people and lanterns Yuanxiaa’s parents were able to meet up with their daughter in the crowd. The city was safe, and the Emperor Wu of Han was happy. He ordered that every year on this day, people should make glutinous rice balls and hang lanterns.
From then on, the 15th day of the first lunar month has been called the Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Jie. Since Yuanxiao cooked the best glutinous rice balls, people call the food yuanxiao or tangyuan.

If you’ve ever seen elephant seals (象海豹) lying on a beach, you might think all they do is sleep. But now scientists have discovered that when elephant seals are in the ocean, they hardly sleep at all. They just sleep for about two hours a day.
Even though elephant seals are large animals, they have to be careful in the ocean. Near the surface (水面), predators like sharks and orca s are a danger. So elephant seals spend most of their time diving (潜水) deep underwater, looking for food. Usually, they will dive for about 30 minutes, then come up for air for just a couple of minutes before diving again.
Scientists have wondered how elephant seals can sleep while they’re at sea, since they are almost diving all the time. Animals like dolphins and sea lions have a special way. One half of their brain can sleep, while the other stays awake. But elephant seals are like humans- both halves of the brain need to go to sleep at the same time. So how do they sleep?
To find out, a scientist named Jessıca Kendall- Bar did a research. She created a special cap that could record the elephant seals’ brain activity. The cap also collected information on the elephant seals’ heart rates, how their bodies were movıng, and how deep they were. Dr. Kendall- Bar and her team put the caps on thirteen young female elephant seals.
The scientists learned that elephant seals steep in short times while they are diving. They only sleep for about 10 minutes at a time. They wake up in time to go up for more air. The scientists found that elephant seals only sleep for about two hours a day when they’re in the ocean. That means that the rest they get once they return to land is very important, which helps them have energy again. Back on land they sleep for about 10.8 hours a day
The researchers hope that their work will help to protect the places where elephant seals sleep when they’re on land.
8. How do elephant seals sleep while they are in the ocean?
A. One half of their brain sleeps while the other stays awake. B. Both halves of their brain sleep at the same time.
C. They sleep for quite a long time. D. They don’t sleep at all.
9. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Why the team chose young female elephant seals. B. What the elephant seals’ brain activity looks like.
C. How the team carried out the research. D. What information the cap collected.
10. Why is the rest that elephant seals| get on land important?
A. It allows them to stay with their family. B. It helps them get their energy back.
C. It allows them to stay away from dangers. D. It helps them get enough food.
11. In which part of a magazine can we find the passage?
A. Travel and transportation. B. Education and art.
C. Health and sports. D. Human and nature.
D
If you’ve ever used pi in math class, you probably used the number 3.14. In fact, the number for pi is much longer. Pi is called an irrational number (无理数) because the digits (数位) after the decimal point (小数点) never end or repeat.
In 2015, a young man from India named Rajveer Meena set a world record by memorizing 70,000 digits of pi. But pi is much longer than that.
On Pi Day ( March 14th) this year, a company called Solidigm said it calculated (计算) pi to105 trillion (万亿) digits. And the 105 trillionth digit is 6. It broke the record for how many digits of pi we know.
Pi is really useful for circles in math. It helps us connect the circumference with the diameter of a circle.
Even NASA scientists use pi for their work of studying space. But they only need about 15 digits of pi for their calculations.
Calculating pi also has another important use. It’s how scientists test new computer programs and data storage systems (数据存储系统).
Solidigm’s calculation of pi took around 75 days to finish. The company’s owner Brian Beeler said that the achievement needed a lot of work. They had to plan the calculation very carefully.
This isn’t the first time that Solidigm has calculated pi. In 2022, Google Cloud calculated 100 trillion digits of pi. Solidigm matched that in 2023.
In the future, we’ll keep finding more and more digits of pi. We’ll never be able to calculate all the digits of pi because it goes on forever. But it still helps us see how great computers can be.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. What pi is. B. How pi works. C. How long pi is. D. Why pi is important.
13. What’ s the use of the chart (图表)?
A. To show pi is long. B. To explain one use of pi.
C. To compare two different circles. D. To let people know more about circles.
14. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 8 refer to?
A. Memorizing 70,000 digits of pi. B. Spending 75 days calculating pi.
C. Calculating pi to 105 trillion digits. D. Calculating 100 trillion digits of pi.
15. Why did the writer write the passage?
A. To collect opinions about learning math. B. To introduce a new development in math.
C. To encourage students to study math harder. D. To show how computers can help with math learning.

Dear classmates,
I’m very happy to share our research with you. The subject we’ve chosen is the Lantern Festival. We’ve collected much information about the festival by doing some reading in the library and watching a lantern show.
The Lantern Festival has a history of about 2,000 years. It’s celebrated on the 15th day of the first lunar month. People get together to enjoy colourful lanterns and play riddle games. Small gifts are usually offered when they get right answers. It’s a tradition to eat tang yuan on this special day.
As for the next step, we will focus on designing lanterns and making English riddles. This will help us understand the meaning of the festival better.
That’s all. Thank you!
