How do you spend your weekends? For many young people, they go to the cinema with friends, have dinner out, or go shopping. This was once the routine for Zhang Yiling, a 27-year-old girl from Shanghai. But three years ago, fresh out of university and starting her first job, Zhang recognized that her idea of “relaxing weekends” nearly turned into “spending money”. If she didn’t spend money on weekends, she wouldn’t know what relaxing activities to do. Because of this, Zhang began to look for other ways to enjoy weekend life, not just shopping.
To make a change, Zhang and 26 friends built up The Lifespark Group in 2022. They started a project called “Make Your Weekend a True Break” By doing surveys, they found many surprising ways to enjoy weekends, such as dancing and exercising in a park square,joining book clubs, watching movies at home, or even becoming a model for free photos.
Zhang herself also began to pay closer attention to the interesting things around her. She found that a flower shop near her home gave free lessons on weekends. She learned about how to pick fresh flowers and grow plants. “I take care of my plants and flowers every day. I enjoy looking at them growing strong. That makes me feel relaxed.”
“I hope that our project can make more people know what they really want and how to use money in a right way,” said Zhang Yiling. “Let’s go to the library to read about different lives we never experience and visit museums to learn about history or culture. We can also spend an afternoon looking through old pictures with our family.”
1.What did Zhang Yiling recognize three years ago?
2.When did Zhang and 26 friends build up The Lifespark Group?
3.How did Zhang feel when she looked after her plants and flowers?

More music, please!
Albert Einstein, a famous scientist in the early 1900s, loved to play the violin. Einstein often played his violin when he had a hard time working out a difficult science problem. He believed that playing the violin helped him find answers. He thought there was more to music than just being something fun to listen to. And many scientists today agree with Einstein. They find that music has a power that’s not just for making us feel happy.
Some scientists think that playing music can help your brain (大脑) work better. When you play an instrument, you are giving your brain a workout. For example, guitar players have to do many things at once when playing music. They use their eyes to read the music, their fingers to pick at the strings, and their ears to listen to the notes that they are playing. Different parts of their bodies are working together. This helps their brains get stronger and can help them pay attention, work out problems, and remember things more easily.
You don’t have to play an instrument to feel good. Just listening to music can also make you happy. If you’re having a bad day, music can make you feel better. When you listen to your favorite music, your brain lets out something that makes you feel good. Listening to light music can also be relaxing. A soft song can help you relax when you are unhappy. For example, many people sing quiet songs to babies, because it can help them stop crying and sleep well.
Studies also show that people feel less pain (痛苦) when they are listening to music they enjoy. When people start listening to music, they pay less attention to other things. Because people are not thinking so much about the pain, they do not feel it as strongly. People have found that the more you like the music you’re hearing, the less pain you feel!
1.When did Einstein often play his violin?
2.Why can playing music help your brain work better?
3.What do people do to help babies stop crying and sleep well?
4.When do you listen to music? Why?
【答案】1.He often played his violin when he had a hard time working out a difficult science problem. 2.Because playing music helps our brains get stronger and can help us pay attention, work out problems, and remember things more easily. 3.They sing quiet songs to babies. 4.I often listen to music while doing housework because it makes me feel relaxed.
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,通过讲述爱因斯坦拉小提琴激发思维的例子,探讨了音乐对大脑和情绪的益处。
1.根据“Einstein often played his violin when he had a hard time working out a difficult science problem.”可知,爱因斯坦在解决科学难题时经常拉小提琴。故填He often played his violin when he had a hard time working out a difficult science problem.

3.根据“For example, many people sing quiet songs to babies, because it can help them stop crying and sleep well.”可知,人们给婴儿唱安静的歌曲,帮助婴儿停止哭泣并且睡得好。故填They sing quiet songs to babies.

How many times have your parents told you that you must eat your green vegetables? We all know that green vegetables are healthy, but what about other foods of different colors? You don’t need to like all food, but it is good for you to have different colors in your diet (饮食), for example, red food such as strawberries and tomatoes, yellow food such as bananas and pears, and orange food such as carrots and oranges. But what about the blue food?
A few years ago, a food company put the color blue in its bags of sweets (甜品). Children like the color blue, so were the blue sweets popular? The food company was surprised to find that they were very unpopular (不受欢迎的). Children still like red, green, brown, yellow and orange sweets.
How many blue meats or vegetables do you know? There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural (天然的) food color. So, we don’t recognize blue food as something healthy or safe to eat. Maybe this is why we don’t often use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food.
Some people say we eat with our eyes. The idea is that we need to like the looks of the food before we try it. I wanted to test this idea and so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. My husband and I made some bread and put blue coloring in them. But nobody ate them. My guests refused (拒绝) to put the blue bread in their mouths!
So will we ever see blue food on our plates? The answer seems to be “no”, at least in countries like the UK and the USA.
1.What is good for you in your diet?
2.Why do we seldom use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food?
3.What did the writer do to test the idea?
4.Would you like to try blue food? Why or why not?
【答案】1.It is good for you to have different colors in your diet. 2.Because there are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural food color. 3.The writer asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. 4.No, I wouldn’t like to do that. Because the blue food is not safe or healthy.
【导语】本文主要介绍了人们不喜欢蓝色的食物的原因。
1.根据“You don’t need to like all food, but it is good for you to have different colors in your diet”可知,在饮食中吃不同颜色的食物对你好处。故填It is good for you to have different colors in your diet.
2.根据“There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural (天然的) food color. ... Maybe this is why we don’t often use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food.”可知,因为天然蓝色的食物很少——它不是一种常见的天然食物颜色。故填Because there are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural food color.
3.根据“I wanted to test this idea and so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch”可知,作者邀请了一些朋友来吃一顿很不寻常的午餐来测试这个想法。故填The writer asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch.
4.开放性试题,言之有理即可。参考答案为No, I wouldn’t like to do that. Because the blue food is not safe or healthy.

It’s just doing something to help make someone’s life a little better.
There are lots of ways you can make a difference to people you know or even strangers. Cooking a meal or cleaning your room can make a difference at home.

How do you spend your weekends? For many young people, they go to the cinema with friends, have dinner out, or go shopping. This was once the routine for Zhang Yiling, a 27-year-old girl from Shanghai. But three years ago, fresh out of university and starting her first job, Zhang recognized that her idea of “relaxing weekends” nearly turned into “spending money”. If she didn’t spend money on weekends, she wouldn’t know what relaxing activities to do. Because of this, Zhang began to look for other ways to enjoy weekend life, not just shopping.
To make a change, Zhang and 26 friends built up The Lifespark Group in 2022. They started a project called “Make Your Weekend a True Break” By doing surveys, they found many surprising ways to enjoy weekends, such as dancing and exercising in a park square,joining book clubs, watching movies at home, or even becoming a model for free photos.
Zhang herself also began to pay closer attention to the interesting things around her. She found that a flower shop near her home gave free lessons on weekends. She learned about how to pick fresh flowers and grow plants. “I take care of my plants and flowers every day. I enjoy looking at them growing strong. That makes me feel relaxed.”
“I hope that our project can make more people know what they really want and how to use money in a right way,” said Zhang Yiling. “Let’s go to the library to read about different lives we never experience and visit museums to learn about history or culture. We can also spend an afternoon looking through old pictures with our family.”
1.What did Zhang Yiling recognize three years ago?
2.When did Zhang and 26 friends build up The Lifespark Group?
3.How did Zhang feel when she looked after her plants and flowers?
4.Would you like to spend weekends like The Lifespark Group? Why or why not?(Please give two reasons.)

Let’s Celebrate (庆祝)
For most kids, the best thing for their birthday is having a birthday party. But thousands of children never celebrate their birthday. Thanks to Paige Chenault and her Birthday Party Project, that is changing in the U.S.A.
Every month, the Birthday Party Project holds birthday parties for the homeless kids. For some kids, it is the first birthday party they have had.
The Birthday Party Project wanted to make every kid feel special (特别的). “Everyone is special,” Paige said. So she started the Birthday Party Project in 2012 and the group’s first celebration was at a homeless shelter (避难所) in Texas.
Today, the Birthday Party Project holds about 50 monthly parties in cities around the county. Nearly 10,000 kids have celebrated their birthday. Dipson, 8, is one of those kids. He lives in a homeless shelter in Minnesota. At a party in March, he and other kids played games and ate cakes. They also opened gifts. “It was very fun.” he said.
The Birthday Party Project has held parties for years. Kids always look forward to (盼望) them. “Mary people come to the party,” Paige said. “It brings the whole place together.”
There are many ways you can help other kids feel celebrated. Join the Birthday Party Project and visit the homeless shelters. Raise (筹集) money by holding sales of old clothes and other activities. Give gifts to a homeless shelter. Make birthday cards for kids living in difficult places. Everyone can join in!

Over 400 years ago in China, there was a cool traveler. He spent 30 years traveling across China. He was Xu Xiake.
Xu Xiake was born in Jiangsu Province. When he was a child, his family had many books and he enjoyed reading about the mountains and rivers of China. He decided to see them when he grew up.
At that time, many kids were studying hard because they wanted to work for the government (政府) when they were older. But Xu’s father never made him take tests. Instead, he encouraged (鼓励) his son to go out and get to know the world. Xu began his trip when he was about 20 years old. Before he left, his mother made him a traveling hat to encourage him to travel.
Xu traveled to 21 provinces and over 100 cities in China. He climbed thousands of mountains and visited over 350 caves. He was the first person to find the highest hill of Huangshan Mountain. He was also the first to find lots of karst caves (喀斯特溶洞). What’s more, he found the Yangtze River’s headwater. Xu traveled mostly on foot. He slept and ate in nature. Sometimes he fell into rivers or ran into dangerous animals. But Xu was brave and enjoyed his trip.
Xu kept a diary while traveling but it was not printed until his death—Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake. The book is still popular today. Being an adventurer (冒险者) can be very exciting. But it also takes bravery and skills (技能).

More music, please!
Albert Einstein, a famous scientist in the early 1900s, loved to play the violin. Einstein often played his violin when he had a hard time working out a difficult science problem. He believed that playing the violin helped him find answers. He thought there was more to music than just being something fun to listen to. And many scientists today agree with Einstein. They find that music has a power that’s not just for making us feel happy.
Some scientists think that playing music can help your brain (大脑) work better. When you play an instrument, you are giving your brain a workout. For example, guitar players have to do many things at once when playing music. They use their eyes to read the music, their fingers to pick at the strings, and their ears to listen to the notes that they are playing. Different parts of their bodies are working together. This helps their brains get stronger and can help them pay attention, work out problems, and remember things more easily.
You don’t have to play an instrument to feel good. Just listening to music can also make you happy. If you’re having a bad day, music can make you feel better. When you listen to your favorite music, your brain lets out something that makes you feel good. Listening to light music can also be relaxing. A soft song can help you relax when you are unhappy. For example, many people sing quiet songs to babies, because it can help them stop crying and sleep well.
Studies also show that people feel less pain (痛苦) when they are listening to music they enjoy. When people start listening to music, they pay less attention to other things. Because people are not thinking so much about the pain, they do not feel it as strongly. People have found that the more you like the music you’re hearing, the less pain you feel!
1.When did Einstein often play his violin?
2.Why can playing music help your brain work better?
3.What do people do to help babies stop crying and sleep well?

When Peng Jingxuan began playing the guzheng on the streets of France in 2018, she did not think that the traditional instrument (乐器) would change her life.
Peng, now 28, began to study the guzheng when she was 7 years old. In 2017, she went to France to study music. She was surprised to find that very few people in France knew about the guzheng.

To make this traditional Chinese instrument better known to people in France, Peng carefully chose each song. She chose traditional guzheng pieces and some pop songs with strong Chinese influences (影响).

Using AI (人工智能) to help others
“At first, I just wanted a tool (工具) to help me study. Then it drew attention from more people,” Qiu Yumo, 13, told Teens. Qiu is from Huitong School in Shenzhen, Guangzhou. She made AI Button. It’s an online AI learning tool for middle school students.
How does AI Button work?
“My classmates and I want to have a learning friend to help us remember the key information. When we don’t know something, we can also ask for help at any time,” Qiu said about her idea.
Students only need to put what they are studying into AI Button. The AI will quickly find key points (重点), ask questions, and answer students’ questions as well. “This AI is like a teacher and meets each student's needs,” Qiu said.
Qiu Yumo started learning programming (编程) at the age of 6. She started to program with AI to make tools in 2023. As a pet (宠物) lover, she also made a tool to count pets’ steps (步数). This can help people to keep pets healthy.
Many students loved Qiu’s idea of AI Button. They wanted to join her to make it better. “Now I have a small team of students from different schools. We are improving AI Button and trying to let more people know it,” she said.

How many times have your parents told you that you must eat your green vegetables? We all know that green vegetables are healthy, but what about other foods of different colors? You don’t need to like all food, but it is good for you to have different colors in your diet (饮食), for example, red food such as strawberries and tomatoes, yellow food such as bananas and pears, and orange food such as carrots and oranges. But what about the blue food?
A few years ago, a food company put the color blue in its bags of sweets (甜品). Children like the color blue, so were the blue sweets popular? The food company was surprised to find that they were very unpopular (不受欢迎的). Children still like red, green, brown, yellow and orange sweets.
How many blue meats or vegetables do you know? There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural (天然的) food color. So, we don’t recognize blue food as something healthy or safe to eat. Maybe this is why we don’t often use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food.
Some people say we eat with our eyes. The idea is that we need to like the looks of the food before we try it. I wanted to test this idea and so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. My husband and I made some bread and put blue coloring in them. But nobody ate them. My guests refused (拒绝) to put the blue bread in their mouths!
So will we ever see blue food on our plates? The answer seems to be “no”, at least in countries like the UK and the USA.

2.Why do we seldom use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food?

He remembered to speak loudly and clearly because it was important. If the lady did not understand him, she could not help Mom. So again Hank said, “I live at 1203 Oak Street in Madison.”

Most people like traveling. However, do you ever feel tired because of the changes to your daily routine? Do you ever find yourself needing more days off for more rest after traveling? If yes, then sleep tourism may be your best choice for your next trip.
Sleep tourism became popular in 2020. It is a new kind of travel which focuses on rest and relaxation while traveling. In sleep tourism, tourists spend their time visiting places, experiencing new cultures and tasting new types of food, and at the same time naturally catching up on much-needed sleep.
More and more people are interested in sleep tourism these years. Studies show people like sleep tourism because health and happiness are more important for them. In this busy world, it is difficult for people to find time for themselves, and often the first thing to lose is sleep. Sleep tourism gives people a chance to break from the stress and the busy everyday life. Besides, some people want to keep their sleep routine during traveling. Breaking the routine can affect sleep. For example, going to bed later can make it hard to fall asleep. As a result, people may feel less rested the next morning.
Travel companies and hotels are working together to make people travel well and sleep well. Companies are planning relaxing activities such as yoga, walking as well as meditation (冥想). Hotels are trying to better their environment by providing comfortable bedding, dreamy music, smart lighting, and so on. When tourists come back from the sleep tourism, they may find themselves well-rested and relaxed.

Make a Difference Day
Do you know about Make a Difference Day? It is a day of helping others. It began in the US in the 1990s. It is on the fourth Saturday in October, and this year it falls on 26th October. The idea behind it is to ask people to do something good for their neighbourhood. People don’t need to spend a lot of time or money on it. It’s just doing something to help make someone’s life a little better.
There are lots of ways you can make a difference to people you know or even strangers. Cooking a meal or cleaning your room can make a difference at home. You can also make a difference at school by being kind to someone in the playground or helping your classmates with their lessons. What’s more, you can make a difference for your neighbourhood by giving your unwanted books, clothes or toys to those who need them or by taking part in a litter pick.
“Last year in primary school, I helped out in a Grade One class every week. I helped the pupils with their work. I also read with them. It gave them someone-on-one help, and they grew in confidence talking with older children. I enjoyed working with them and helping with their learning journey at school.” Rapha, an 11-year-old boy, shares his story.
Maria Evans, a middle school teacher, says it’s important to do something nice for another person because it can make the kindness pass from one person to another. “The things you did show them they are important. You may get closer to others. Your kindness might let them help others too.”
When you do something nice for someone else, you’re showing yourself that you can make a positive (积极的) change for others. You feel able to make a real difference. It is important when life sometimes seems difficult.
You might think making a difference is just about helping others, but Evans says it’s great for your happiness too. “You can meet new people and build up friendships. It’s a good way to let you believe in yourself because it lets you know that you are important and able to change.”
