Now Dong is the first woman to have reached all true summits of the 148,000 ers,” said the website on its front page. Dong started climbing because of interest. When she found out about the list of eight-thousander climbers, she hoped there would be a Chinese name on it. She climbed Mount Qomolangma in 2013 and completed the other 13 mountains such as Qogir, Nanga Parbat in the following years.

However, some online videos about it have become popular with young people. These videos are made by Fun Stuff, a science account (账户) on Bilibili. It has posted about 150 videos and most of them are for free. And these videos have been watched over 100 million times. The makers behind Fun Stuff are Tang Cheng and Cai Chunlin. They’re a couple (夫妇) at the same university. Both of them studied science very hard and always discussed questions about science together. It all started on a small island in 2014, when Tang studied monkeys there. At the time, he started giving online classes to children. After one class, a student asked him what a cell (细胞) is. Then he decided to make more people fall in love with science. In 2018, Tang and Cai began to play some English science videos and share them on Bilibili. The next year, they began to make their own videos. They spent two months on their first video. It is about an amazing animal living in ancient times. In the video, Tang talks about the animal’s look and habits and why it died out. The special and clear way to tell scientific facts soon made the video very popular. Since then, the couple has made lots of videos about ancient animals. “Fun Stuff has the interesting way to make science about the ancient world very interesting,” says a fan. 8.

A. has good teachers B. makes science fun C. helps learn English D. gives online classes D Eduardo reached into his backpack searching for his mobile phone. He was tired of Aunt Letty spending all day on her chickens, goats, horses, and cows. Worse, he was afraid of having to spend the spring vacation on Aunt Letty’s farm. Although he disagreed, his parents decided that spending time on the farm would be a great experience for him. They grew up on a farm and believed that responsibility (责任), hard work, and respect for the land were valuable lessons. “So, have you ever ridden a horse?” Aunt Letty asked, trying to turn his attention away from his phone. “Hmmm, no.” he answered. “Well, we’ve got a nice horse I think you’ll like.” she said, smiling. Eduardo was unhappy that he had to work. Vacations were meant for sleeping late, playing video games, and maybe skateboarding. Without lifting his head, he tried to text a friend. “With all the hills and valleys, phones are hard to get a WIFI.” Eduardo made a face, but Aunt Letty was right. ________ The animals on the farm woke them up, and they had breakfast before sunrise. Then they, had to feed the animals. The afternoons were filled with cleanup and caring for the animals. At sunset, when the farm was finally quiet, Aunt Letty reached out her arms and inhaled (吸气), “Just take a deep breath of that sweet country air!” Eduardo, tired from his chores, couldn’t enjoy his work. On the third day, Aunt Letty announced, “It’s time to meet Hercules.” She led Eduardo into the stables (马厩). Aunt Letty was right again. Hercules was amazing! Aunt Letty held her hand open for Eduardo to take. Unwillingly (不情愿地), he let her guide his hand towards Hercules and allowed the big animal to touch his hand. Softly, Hercules rubbed its nose and mouth against him. “It feels like velvet (天鹅绒)!” Eduardo smiled. An hour later, Eduardo was offering Hercules carrots. That night, as they headed towards the house, Eduardo was excited. His arms spreading wide, he inhaled and said, “Take a breath of that sweet country air!” 12. Why did Eduardo’s parents send him to the farm? A. To learn valuable lessons about life. B. To show him the beauty of nature. C. To learn how to get on with Aunt Letty. D.
