After reading President Xi’s works, students share their ideas.
Xie Ningshan, 13
President Xi said that parents should teach their children through words and actions. Since I was a kid, my parents have been telling me to be ready to help others. It’s a family rule that I always keep in mind. At school, I helped one of my classmates to solve math problems. I think we should value (重视) our family rules and love both family and the country.
Shi Qingyu 13
We’ve asked too much from our nature. It’s high time to protect it. Just as President Xi said, a sound eco-environment (生态环境) is the most basic thing that helps everyone. I myself live a green life. I often write on both sides of the paper. I also turn off the lights whenever I leave a room. And I always ride my bike to school. These are all the steps we can take to help protect the environment.
Yin Hanyu, 13
I like traveling overseas. I still remember when I went to Paris, France. I visited the tall and beautiful Eiffel Tower. At that time, I got the idea to be an architect and build some famous buildings one day. This trip opened my eyes and let me see the rich culture of France. Just as President Xi said, civilizations (文明) become richer and more colorful when they share and learn from each other.

Recently, the US social media (社交媒体) star, IShowSpeed, has become super popular in China.
Born in 2005, IShowSpeed, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr. , became famous for live streaming (直播) sports games and his travels across Europe and Asia. He has 37 million fans on YouTube. Chinese fans call him “Jia Kang Ge” because of his excited feelings and big body language.
In late March, he started a live-streaming tour in China, visiting places like Shanghai, Beijing, Henan, Sichuan and Chongqing. He experienced Chinese history and culture, tasted local food, and met excited fans and people from all walks of life.
In Shanghai, he joined park activities and learned about China’s electric cars. In Henan province, he visited the Shaolin Temple and learned kung fu. There, kung fu master Liang Xiaolong told him, “It’s pain (苦痛), but it’s life. It’s pain, but it’s Shaolin. It’s pain, but it’s kung fu. It’s pain, but it’s you.”
IShowSpeed’s videos give a real picture of what China is like and are changing how many people around the world see the country.
“After watching this video, I realized how foolish my previous views (之前的看法) on China were. I feel that if I don’t go to China, I’ll regret (后悔) it for the rest of my life,” a US viewer said on YouTube.
4. Why do Chinese fans call IShowSpeed “Jia Kang Ge”?

Have you found yourself listening to “ancient people” online recently? Creative vloggers are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty (朝代) poets Li Bai and Du Fu “back to life”. These videos have become popular, showing these ancient icons (代表人物) speaking in modern language.
In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion (755~763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical (医药的) expert Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles, like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still staying up late. “The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people, such as Wen Zhengming and Tang Bohu. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong.
The new trend isn’t for everyone, however. The way these ancient people speak in high tones and always asking questions, makes some people feel a bit angry. “They’re too pushy (咄咄逼人), which is different from how they really were,” explained 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu.
Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the same. But he was surprised to find that he remembered everything they said about their experiences and achievements, thanks to the speaking style in the videos.
These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people speak for themselves. However, “we should be careful with these videos, making sure they are sharing real information,” noted Nanfang Daily.
8. What might Li Shizhen’s video talk about according to the passage?
A. Ancient people’s life. B. Modern people’s living habits.
C. Du Fu’s experience. D. How to write Tang Dynasty poems.
9. Why does Wang Jiayi want to learn more about ancient people?
A. Because she saw their stories in a book. B. Because the AI videos made her interested.
C. Because her teacher asked her to study them. D. Because she wanted to learn about medicine.
10. According to Nanfang Daily, what should we do when we watch these videos?
A. Believe all AI videos. B. Check who makes the videos.
C. Stop making AI videos. D. Check if AI videos tell the truth.
11. What is the best title for this passage?
A. AI Technology Is Dangerous B. Teenagers Hate Ancient People
C. AI Brings Ancient People to Life D. How to Study History with Books
D
Does anyone around you keep pet rocks? Yes, you read that right—pet rocks! More and more young people are falling in love with rocks. They dress them in lovely clothes and take them out to explore the big world. When I first saw pictures of these “pets”, I thought, “Wow, how cute they are!” But as I kept scrolling (滚动屏幕), I started to wonder why people would want some lifeless rocks as pets. And then it hit me: Life has changed a lot over the past few years.
We, as animals, must stay alive first. A long time ago, people spent most of their time finding food and building homes. Today, most of us don’t have to worry about those basic needs. But with all the extra free time, we aren’t really “lying flat (躺平).” Instead, we, as humans, are trying to reach a new level of survival (生存).
This survival is about being the best among us. We work hard to become successful and rich. This puts lots of pressure on our lives. I know this very well. At one point, even my dogs went from being my best friends to feeling like time-wasters. After all, they can’t help me fill my bank account (账户), can they?
The pet rocks got me thinking about what it really means to be human. Life isn’t all about making money or being successful. Sometimes, it’s just about having simple, fun moments.
I don’t have a pet rock, but I just bought an aquarium (养鱼缸). I can’t wait to start keeping fish. I’ve wanted to do it for years but held back because it seemed “meaningless.”
How do you stay human? Will you also get some fish? Or maybe you can keep your own pet rocks!
12. Why does the writer begin the text with a question?
A. To explain the history of pet rocks. B. To catch the readers’ eyes and lead into the topic.
C. To directly discuss social pressures. D. To encourage the readers to keep a pet rock.
13. According to the text, why do modern humans feel pressure?
A. They spend too much time dressing up rocks. B. They focus only on basic survival needs like food.
C. They want to be the best and achieve success. D. They dislike keeping pets like dogs or fish.
14. What lesson does the writer want readers to learn?
A. Pet rocks are better than other real pets. B. Success is the only way to survive.
C. Simple joys are also important for people. D. Keeping busy to make more money.
15. In which part of a magazine might we read it?
A. Life. B. Sports. C. Health. D. Animals.

My Summer Vacation
Summer vacation has always been a perfect time for me to explore new things. I plan to make it both relaxing and meaningful.
For health, I’ll try to eat more vegetables and less junk food than before. Getting enough sleep is also important, so I won’t stay up late. As for hobbies, I’ll spend time reading novels, watching movies and listening to light music every afternoon. These activities help me relax. I also want to join some activities. Volunteering at the city library is my top choice. If possible, I’ll visit science museums to learn new things.
This balanced plan will keep me energetic and help me prepare for Grade 9. I believe this summer will not only bring joy but also inspire me a lot. I can’t wait for it.
