Hit Chinese film about Japanese war crimes highlights ‘forgotten history’
Movie about Nanking massacre highlights questions about how far country’s suffering is remembered in the wider world.
China’s latest blockbuster movie depicting one of Japan’s worst war crimes, the 1937 Nanking massacre, has been described by the director as part of an “invisible battle” to bring greater international recognition to the country’s suffering in World War II.
Dead to Rights is based on the true story of how a young apprentice in a photo studio found and developed evidence of the atrocities in secret, which was later used in a war-crimes tribunal.
The mass murder of civilians in the city, now known as Nanjing, which was the capital of China at the time, is widely recognized as one of the worst crimes committed by the Japanese during the occupation of China, which began in 1931.
While the death toll has not been conclusively established, China’s official estimate places the number of the dead at more than 300,000.
Dead to Rights has been well received domestically and hailed as a powerful tribute to national suffering and resilience during the war. Released on July 25, the film has become a major box office hit, grossing nearly 2.2 billion yuan (US$305 million) by Sunday, according to Maoyan, a Chinese ticketing and data platform.
In a widely circulated video, the film’s director Shen Ao described the production as part of an “invisible” battle – “a war of public opinion, propaganda, and culture”.
“Even today, this continues online and in the broader media environment. Through this film, these photographs and related materials, we hope to alert audiences to this ongoing struggle – so that they may distinguish friend from foe, recognize right from wrong, and see truth over distortion,” he said.
Some viewers have praised the film for avoiding the trap of portraying the Japanese as cliched villains or trying too hard to portray the victims and perpetrators as equal.
The film is part of a series depicting China’s 14-year war of resistance against Japan. One of those movies, 731, which will be released next month, will cover the biological war crimes carried out by Unit 731.
Supporters say Dead to Rights should be released in Japan; it is already slated for Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Malaysia and Singapore.
There are growing voices in China in recent years that the country’s pivotal role in the war has been under recognized.
Many believe that the Nanking massacre and other wartime suffering in Asia remain far less known worldwide than the Holocaust or the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The American embassy in China posted on social media on Wednesday – ahead of the Hiroshima bombing anniversary – that “the US and Japan ended a devastating war in the Pacific region 80 years ago”, sparking a fierce backlash online.
Xie Feng, China’s ambassador to the US, said ahead of the film’s release: “The Chinese people, through unyielding will, heroic struggle, and immense sacrifice, secured victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and made a historic contribution to the global victory in the War Against Fascism.
“Any attempt to distort the truth of World War II will not be accepted by the 1.4 billion Chinese people.”
He also said China and the US fought side by side against fascism and had a responsibility to preserve peace.
However, many have also raised concern online about whether the film’s graphic and disturbing scenes are appropriate for children and whether it risks deepening a culture of hate-based education.
An online commentator called “Ni Ren” wrote: “Remembering history is not about cultivating hatred, nor should it be done under a grand nationalist narrative that overlooks our need to be civilised and progressive.”
1.How many people died according to the China’s official estimate?
A.more than 250,000 B.more than 300,000
C.more than 420,000 D.more than350,000
解析:细节题,根据原文第五段的“While the death toll has not been conclusively established, China’s official estimate places the number of the dead at more than 300,000.”可知,根据中国的官方估计约有超过3000,000人死亡。

Arriving at the "Big Summer Bash" in Congham, in East Anglia, one cannot help but notice the peculiar containers carried by many visitors: oddly shaped tupperwares and terrariums, stuffed with foliage. Inside are small, slimy athletes. For this is the World Snail Racing Championships. And trainers from as far afield as South Korea, America and France have come to test their molluscs' mettle.
Their racetrack is a small table covered by a damp cloth stitched with two concentric circles, 13 inches (33cm) apart. Fifteen snails set off from the centre; the winner is the first to extend its antennae over the outer rim. That gets it into the final, where it competes to become world champion—and to break the world record, held by a snail named Archie. In 1995 he crossed the course in two minutes flat (equating to around 0.006mph).
Until recently the competition took place as part of Congham's church fete, an English summertime tradition where people pay a few pennies to throw coconuts at other coconuts, or guess the weight of a cake, to raise money for the local parish. The pandemic killed many village fetes, however, including Congham's. Organising the licences, volunteers and produce became too daunting, particularly for committee members growing somewhat long in the tooth. Rural populations are ageing, and many of the schools, pubs and shops that served them have closed.
But summer fetes are enjoying an unexpected revival. Organisers around the country report record fundraising totals (the closest proxy that free-to-attend events have for attendance numbers). One reason is the increasing presence of middle-class urbanites. Such people are often blamed for the decline of village life, pricing out locals without really integrating into the community. Yet in many places they have shown themselves to have the skills, resources, energy and time to organise a fete with the requisite enthusiasm.
The Lurgashall village fete in West Sussex, for example, is run by a retired private-equity ace. Otford's, in Kent, is chaired by a JPMorgan alum who moved from London. Eleanor Herring, co-chair of the World Peashoot Championships in Witcham, Cambridgeshire, moved to the area in 2021. The "vast majority" of those on the Compton village fete organising committee in Surrey "have moved here in relatively recent years", says Miranda Wells, the chair.
In Congham the snail contest is now run by Nicholas Dickinson and Ian Haynes, both newcomers. The two businessmen have built a rejuvenated version of the village fete around the mollusc match. This year's edition, on July 19th, was marked by violent rain; last year's by hail. Such is the British summertime. But snails thrive in the damp. As Alyssa, a passionate ten-year-old armed with several of her own racers, puts it: "Snails are amazing creatures. They've got that attitude about them that just makes you believe in them."
Sadly, no amount of belief could propel your correspondent's snail, rented from the snail master's stable for £1 ($1.35), to victory. Michael Shellmacher was pipped to the mark by Bilbo Sluggins, who, as it happens, went on to be champion. The final was a tense affair. Some spectators whispered that the French were cheating. Others bragged that their oversize Roman snails would outmuscle the rest. And as a hundred strangers sheltered from the rain under a testudo of umbrellas, you could not help but feel a creeping sense of hope for the English countryside.
5.What is the world record of snail ?
A.0.9mph B.0.006mph
C.0.25mph D.6.7mph

Drinking: Just because you can——The rise of the women's-sports bar
THE HUM is nothing unusual. Talking heads on the televisions comment on the last play of the game and fans woot when the players hit big shots. But there are signs that it's not your normal sports bar. The menu features both bulgogi beef tacos and "Girl Dinner", a charcuterie board with dried apricots and olives. Instead of Heineken and tequila sodas the drink offerings include the "Sporty Spice Margarita", the "9-to-5" espresso martini and the "Red Card", a chilled fireball shot. The clientele is conspicuously lacking in Y chromosomes. So are the athletes on the screens. This is Jolene Jolene, a women's-sports bar.
Chelsea Fishman, its owner, opened Jolene Jolene in Atlanta on July 4th. That weekend 500 people came. The bar is a place for anyone who is tired of asking bartenders to change the channel to a women's game, she says. On a recent evening the bar was bubbling. "We've been wanting this for as long as we can remember," says a former college-basketball point guard, eating wings.
Jolene Jolene is among the first women's-sports bars. The movement started when Jenny Nguyen, a chef and basketball aficionado, founded The Sports Bra in Portland, Oregon, in 2022. Her niche is quickly becoming less niche: there are now about ten women's-sports bars. Over a dozen more—Babes, The Final Period and Tomboys, to name a few—are raising funds, renting spaces and finalising booze lists. The entrepreneurs, who tend to be first-time businesswomen, share tips and frustrations on a group chat that adds members each week.
The bars are opening in part because the games they screen are more popular than ever. Deloitte, a consulting firm, estimates that women's sports will generate $2.4bn in global revenue this year, up from $981m in 2023. Many attribute the change to the women's national soccer team and to Caitlin Clark, a basketball player who smashed records at the University of Iowa, then became last year's top pick for the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The 2024 college-championship game that she played in drew 24m viewers in its final minutes, more than any college game ever had on ESPN, America's biggest sports network. In May a WNBA team in San Francisco played its first game. Due to "surging demand", the league plans to add five more teams.
At Jolene Jolene fans need not fear that televisions will switch away from a women's game to show a men's one. Ms Fishman is adamant that Jolene Jolene is a women's-sports bar, not a bar just for women. When asked, its patrons say they are happy for men to join in too. But if women's sports are to become truly mainstream, one says, then the NBA ought to rename itself the MNBA.

On the G1546 train from Nanning East to Hangzhou West, a post-00s train attendant Qin Yunhao carries a plastic bag with him every time he works during the busy summer travel season, according to China Railway's official social media account.
This "mysterious plastic bag" contains a stack of primary school exam papers for various grades. If children are being noisy, Qin approaches them and "rewards" them with a test paper.
The bag also holds colorful stickers kids love—those who finish the test or behave quietly during the trip get one as a prize.
This summer, Qin's train has been especially crowded, popular with study tour groups and families. At times, student passengers make up half the carriage. Keeping children calm is a frequent topic discussed among the crew.
"I noticed some parents bring their kids' summer homework on board, which keeps them busy and quiet," Qin said. "So I thought, why not print simple exam papers for parents who didn't bring any?"
He added that many of his colleagues have their own tricks, like giving out coloring books, stickers, or small toys that help improve concentration. Some trains even set up "mobile play zones" in dining cars for young travelers.
Qin advises parents to prepare cartoons, movies, toys, or picture books to make trips more enjoyable.

Well informed:Should you take creatine?
The legal, safe, performance-enhancing drug may have benefits beyond sport
IF YOU ARE an athlete in search of a chemical boost your options are limited.Many of the drugs that are known to work—anabolic steroids to make you stronger, say, or erythropoietin to boost your endurance—are banned and come with nasty side-effects.Many legal supplements, meanwhile, seem not to do anything useful.Panda Foreign Magazine Intensive Reading:Respect for Originality, Piracy Must Be Punished
An exception is creatine, a staple of sports nutrition and one of the few supplements with a solid evidence base behind it.One review paper from 2017 concluded that creatine can give athletes a 10-20% performance boost in brief bouts of high-intensity exercise, such as sprinting past a defender or lifting heavy weights.It appears to be safe, too, with no worrying side-effects seen even in people who have been taking the stuff for years.Because there is no test that can distinguish supplementary creatine from the sort naturally produced by the body, or indeed the kind found in meat and fish, most sports do not consider taking it to be doping.
Creatine works mainly by increasing the amount of energy that muscles can produce.Cells use a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a carrier of chemical energy.Aerobic respiration, which uses oxygen to break down fats or sugar, is by far the most efficient way of making ATP. But it is relatively slow.When muscles need a lot of ATP in a hurry most of it is supplied instead by the phosphocreatine system which, as its name suggests, relies on creatine to work. (A third pathway, the glycolytic system, sits between the other two in both power and efficiency.)
When muscles contract, the ATP molecules used to power that contraction lose one of their three phosphate groups, turning into adenosine diphosphate (ADP).phosphocreatine stored in the muscles can donate a replacement phosphate group, turning ADP back into ATP, which can then power more contractions.But those reserves are sufficient for only a few seconds of maximal effort (this is why it is impossible to run a marathon at the same pace as one would run 100 metres).creatine supplements boost the amount of phosphocreatine that can be stored, allowing users to squeeze out a couple of extra reps or sprint at full power for a second longer.
That may not be the only benefit. A growing body of research suggests creatine may be good for brains as well as brawn.That makes sense: neurons need ATP just as muscle cells do, and the brain is hungry for energy.Despite accounting for about 2% of the body’s mass, the brain is thought to consume around 20% of its calories.Panda Foreign Magazine Intensive Reading:Respect for Originality, Piracy Must Be Punished
As summarised in a review published in 2021 in Nutrients, some studies have suggested that creatine might sharpen things like short-term memory or reaction times.Others have reported it may lessen the symptoms of mental-health problems such as depression, and tentative evidence suggests it improves cognition in those with Alzheimer’s disease.Both may be associated with a misallocation of energy within the brain.
In animals creatine seems to protect against the effects of concussions, which likewise seem to play havoc with the way brain cells are supplied with energy.In one study rats given creatine supplements showed a 50% reduction in damage after they were given an artificially induced brain injury.For now, the evidence regarding brains is not nearly as robust as that regarding muscles.But as sport is a common cause of concussions, athletes taking creatine might get two benefits for the price of one.
A. IF YOU ARE a teenager in search of a chemical boost your options are not allowed.(误导项)
B. IF YOU ARE an athlete in search of a chemical boost your options are limited.
C. For now, the evidence regarding brains is not nearly as robust as that regarding muscles.
D. That may not be the only benefit.
E. That may benefit our brain more.(误导项)
F. Both may be associated with a misallocation of energy within the brain.
G. But it is relatively slow.
解析:
1.选项B
原文第一段首句 "IF YOU ARE an athlete in search of a chemical boost your options are limited."
开篇点明运动员寻求化学辅助的局限性,后文用违禁药物(如类固醇)和无效补充剂对比,引出肌酸(creatine)的例外性。
选项B与原文完全一致,是段落主旨句。
翻译:若你是一名寻求化学辅助的运动员,选择十分有限。
2.选项D
原文第五段首句 "That may not be the only benefit."
前文讨论肌酸对肌肉的作用,此处转折提出其对大脑的潜在益处,后文用神经元能量需求、短期记忆改善等研究佐证。
选项D是承上启下句,与原文完全匹配。
翻译:这可能并非唯一益处。
3.选项F
原文第六段末句 "Both may be associated with a misallocation of energy within the brain."
"Both"指代前文抑郁症和阿尔茨海默病,说明两种疾病可能与大脑能量分配失衡有关。
选项F是段落结论句,需依赖前文具体研究支撑。
翻译:二者(症状减轻)可能与大脑内部能量分配失衡相关。
4.选项G
原文第三段第四句 "But it is relatively slow."
前文解释有氧呼吸(aerobic respiration)高效但速度慢,后文对比磷酸肌酸系统(phosphocreatine system)的快速供能。
选项G是转折句,需与上文"most efficient way"形成对比。
翻译:但这一过程相对缓慢。
5.选项C
原文第七段第三句 "For now, the evidence regarding brains is not nearly as robust as that regarding muscles."
总结大脑相关研究的局限性,与肌肉效果的明确证据对比,体现科学严谨性。
选项C是段落过渡句,为未来研究方向留白。
翻译:目前,关于大脑的证据远不如肌肉的证据充分。
误导项解析
选项A:
原文未提及青少年,且"not allowed"与全文客观语气冲突,属无依据篡改。
选项E:
原文仅说肌酸"可能"(may)有益大脑,未比较"更多"(more),夸大结论。
答案顺序与逻辑链:B(引入主题)→ 2. G(解释供能机制)→ 3. D(转折至大脑益处)→ 4. F(具体机制)→ 5. C(研究局限性)
核心逻辑:从运动表现到认知健康的科学论证,体现"肌肉→大脑"的递进研究。
三、完型填空
SEOUL SPACE-OUT HELPS PEOPLE RELAX
In Seoul, South Korea, people compete to do absolutely nothing. The Space-Out Competition is now in its 11th year and has become very popular. This year, 126 participants from 80 teams joined the unusual event.
The competition helps exhausted modern people take a break from their busy lives. Over 4,500 teams wanted to join, but only a few were chosen. The participants included soldiers, train operators, and swimmers.
The rules are simple: zone out for 90 minutes without moving too much or falling asleep. Winners are chosen by checking their heart rate stability and getting votes from people watching.
Choi I-ro, a 62-year-old paralegal, was the first person to register. He arrived two hours early. "I came out here because I wanted to feel just how important it is to pause and rest," he said. Choi was burned out from working late nights and too much work.
The event started at 4 p.m. with a 15-minute introduction and light stretching. Then the 90 minutes of zoning out began. During the competition, some people dropped out. One woman left because she was hungry and wanted to eat instant noodles.
Staff dressed as doctors checked participants' heart rates during the event. Other staff wore traditional costumes and watched to make sure everyone was properly spacing out. People got a warning for breaking focus, and a second warning meant disqualification. This year, only one person got a warning.
After 30 minutes of scoring, the winners were announced: three members of a Seoul punk band called Pogo Attack.
The competition was created by Woopsyang, a visual artist. She started it because she felt burned out and anxious about always being busy. "My ultimate dream is to create a World Space-Out Day, where people across the globe pause at the same time," she said.

C. at the same time(同时)D. Call it a day(收工)
"at the same time"呼应"World Space-Out Day"的全球同步暂停理念。
其他选项无法体现"同步"含义。
标答:C
总结
核心逻辑链:通过比赛规则、参与者行为及组织者动机,贯穿"放空减压"主题。
易错点:第11题需结合活动反常规特质,第15题需理解全球同步的深层含义。
以下是第11题选 B. traditional(传统的) 的 最简推理链:
核心逻辑三步推演:
功能对照:
- 前句:工作人员穿医生制服(dressed as doctors)→ 体现 科学权威(监测心率,确保生理安全)
- 后句:其他工作人员穿 ____ 服装 → 需形成 互补权威(监督行为规范,维持秩序)
文化权威绑定:
- 在韩国语境中,传统服饰(如韩服) = 文化与道德权威的象征
- 与医生代表的 科学权威 共同构建 双重保障体系:
医生 → 守护身体规则
传统着装者 → 守护行为规则
活动本质契合:
- 发呆比赛目标:将“放空”规范化为正经活动(创始人梦想设立“世界放空日”)
- traditional costumes 传递严肃性,防止活动沦为闹剧(与规则中“警告→取消资格”呼应)
排除A的关键点:
❌ 若选 unconventional(非常规的):
- 与医生制服的 专业权威性冲突,破坏监督可信度
- 违背原文 properly spacing out(规范放空)中的 秩序诉求
结论
医生制服(现代职业传统) + 传统服饰(文化遗产)

Tucked away in a small township of southern Taiwan's Pingtung County, a humble and weathered gatehouse stands quietly, bearing a romantic name, "Moon-walking Pavilion."
Few today would suspect that this was once the redoubt in a battle where local villagers made a desperate and heroic stand against invading Japanese forces 130 years ago.
The battle was part of a brief but fierce resistance movement that erupted in Taiwan after the Qing government, defeated in a war launched by Japan against China, was forced to cede Taiwan and the Penghu Islands to Japan.
Local Hakka communities, led by leaders such as Shaw Kuang-ming, decided not to surrender but instead mobilized local villagers. They flooded farmland with seawater to slow down Japanese troops and staged ambushes in the jungle. When retreating to the Shaw estate, they poured boiling water and threw rocks from the top of the ramparts of the front gate.
But their resistance was tragically insufficient against the Japanese onslaught. Armed mostly with crude muskets and farming tools attached to kitchen knives, the local fighters held out for 14 hours before the Japanese stormed and torched the estate and the surrounding village. Over 100 local defenders died, including one of Shaw's sons. His other son was seriously wounded and died days later.
Local people's resistance did not end in Shaw's hometown. About 30 km away, the village of Changxing earned the name "Fireburn Village" in November 1895. The last major stand of the resistance movement was commanded there by Chiu Feng-yang.
In this final clash, Chiu led 3,000 villagers, including women, children and the elderly, against overwhelming odds. Japanese troops tried to negotiate several times, but Chiu refused. What followed was heavy artillery bombardment and the complete destruction of the settlement.
In 1968, the construction of a nearby school unearthed some remains of these fighters. Today, their remains rest in a small shrine in a park on the site of the battlefield.
In 1940, Shaw Dao-ing and his wife went to the mainland to join the resistance war against Japan, where he used his medical training to serve as a frontline medic for Chinese troops.
"My parents believed that it was their mission to fight for the motherland when it was in peril," Shaw said.
Tens of thousands of Taiwan residents followed similar paths. Between 1937 and 1945, at least 50,000 crossed the Taiwan Strait to join the war of resistance on the mainland.
In recent years, they have been facing growing challenges. Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities, which have actively pursued a secessionist agenda, are constructing a historical narrative that diminishes or reframes the island's Chinese cultural roots.
Taiwan people's persistent resistance against Japanese aggression, including the 1895 resistance movement, clearly proved that many people in Taiwan at that time chose to die rather than surrender their national identity as Chinese.
These episodes of history are being erased from public memory and Japan's colonial rule was whitewashed through various cultural programs, including revised textbooks, launched by the DPP authorities.
"It's painful to see our history being erased or twisted," said Shaw. "What they're teaching the youth is toxic. It severs them from their roots."
However, the bullet holes on the Shaws' ancestral walls, the scorched earth of "Fireburn Village," and the humble shrine in the battlefield-turned park in Changxing, combine to speak a truth that persists -- not through grand monuments but via families who value these memories.

Hit Chinese film about Japanese war crimes highlights ‘forgotten history’
Movie about Nanking massacre highlights questions about how far country’s suffering is remembered in the wider world.
China’s latest blockbuster movie depicting one of Japan’s worst war crimes, the 1937 Nanking massacre, has been described by the director as part of an “invisible battle” to bring greater international recognition to the country’s suffering in World War II.
Dead to Rights is based on the true story of how a young apprentice in a photo studio found and developed evidence of the atrocities in secret, which was later used in a war-crimes tribunal.
The mass murder of civilians in the city, now known as Nanjing, which was the capital of China at the time, is widely recognised as one of the worst crimes committed by the Japanese during the occupation of China, which began in 1931.
While the death toll has not been conclusively established, China’s official estimate places the number of the dead at more than 300,000.
Dead to Rights has been well received domestically and hailed as a powerful tribute to national suffering and resilience during the war. Released on July 25, the film has become a major box office hit, grossing nearly 2.2 billion yuan (US$305 million) by Sunday, according to Maoyan, a Chinese ticketing and data platform.
In a widely circulated video, the film’s director Shen Ao described the production as part of an “invisible” battle – “a war of public opinion, propaganda, and culture”.
“Even today, this continues online and in the broader media environment. Through this film, these photographs and related materials, we hope to alert audiences to this ongoing struggle – so that they may distinguish friend from foe, recognise right from wrong, and see truth over distortion,” he said.
Some viewers have praised the film for avoiding the trap of portraying the Japanese as cliched villains or trying too hard to portray the victims and perpetrators as equal.
The film is part of a series depicting China’s 14-year war of resistance against Japan. One of those movies, 731, which will be released next month, will cover the biological war crimes carried out by Unit 731.
Supporters say Dead to Rights should be released in Japan; it is already slated for Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Malaysia and Singapore.
There are growing voices in China in recent years that the country’s pivotal role in the war has been under recognised.
Many believe that the Nanking massacre and other wartime suffering in Asia remain far less known worldwide than the Holocaust or the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The American embassy in China posted on social media on Wednesday – ahead of the Hiroshima bombing anniversary – that “the US and Japan ended a devastating war in the Pacific region 80 years ago”, sparking a fierce backlash online.
Xie Feng, China’s ambassador to the US, said ahead of the film’s release: “The Chinese people, through unyielding will, heroic struggle, and immense sacrifice, secured victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and made a historic contribution to the global victory in the War Against Fascism.
“Any attempt to distort the truth of World War II will not be accepted by the 1.4 billion Chinese people.”
He also said China and the US fought side by side against fascism and had a responsibility to preserve peace.
However, many have also raised concern online about whether the film’s graphic and disturbing scenes are appropriate for children and whether it risks deepening a culture of hate-based education.
An online commentator called “Ni Ren” wrote: “Remembering history is not about cultivating hatred, nor should it be done under a grand nationalist narrative that overlooks our need to be civilised and progressive.”

A.more than 250,000 B.more than 300,000

Arriving at the "Big Summer Bash" in Congham, in East Anglia, one cannot help but notice the peculiar containers carried by many visitors: oddly shaped tupperwares and terrariums, stuffed with foliage. Inside are small, slimy athletes. For this is the World Snail Racing Championships. And trainers from as far afield as South Korea, America and France have come to test their molluscs' mettle.
Their racetrack is a small table covered by a damp cloth stitched with two concentric circles, 13 inches (33cm) apart. Fifteen snails set off from the centre; the winner is the first to extend its antennae over the outer rim. That gets it into the final, where it competes to become world champion—and to break the world record, held by a snail named Archie. In 1995 he crossed the course in two minutes flat (equating to around 0.006mph).
Until recently the competition took place as part of Congham's church fete, an English summertime tradition where people pay a few pennies to throw coconuts at other coconuts, or guess the weight of a cake, to raise money for the local parish. The pandemic killed many village fetes, however, including Congham's. Organising the licences, volunteers and produce became too daunting, particularly for committee members growing somewhat long in the tooth. Rural populations are ageing, and many of the schools, pubs and shops that served them have closed.
But summer fetes are enjoying an unexpected revival. Organisers around the country report record fundraising totals (the closest proxy that free-to-attend events have for attendance numbers). One reason is the increasing presence of middle-class urbanites. Such people are often blamed for the decline of village life, pricing out locals without really integrating into the community. Yet in many places they have shown themselves to have the skills, resources, energy and time to organise a fete with the requisite enthusiasm.
The Lurgashall village fete in West Sussex, for example, is run by a retired private-equity ace. Otford's, in Kent, is chaired by a JPMorgan alum who moved from London. Eleanor Herring, co-chair of the World Peashoot Championships in Witcham, Cambridgeshire, moved to the area in 2021. The "vast majority" of those on the Compton village fete organising committee in Surrey "have moved here in relatively recent years", says Miranda Wells, the chair.
In Congham the snail contest is now run by Nicholas Dickinson and Ian Haynes, both newcomers. The two businessmen have built a rejuvenated version of the village fete around the mollusc match. This year's edition, on July 19th, was marked by violent rain; last year's by hail. Such is the British summertime. But snails thrive in the damp. As Alyssa, a passionate ten-year-old armed with several of her own racers, puts it: "Snails are amazing creatures. They've got that attitude about them that just makes you believe in them."
Sadly, no amount of belief could propel your correspondent's snail, rented from the snail master's stable for £1 ($1.35), to victory. Michael Shellmacher was pipped to the mark by Bilbo Sluggins, who, as it happens, went on to be champion. The final was a tense affair. Some spectators whispered that the French were cheating. Others bragged that their oversize Roman snails would outmuscle the rest. And as a hundred strangers sheltered from the rain under a testudo of umbrellas, you could not help but feel a creeping sense of hope for the English countryside.
5.What is the world record of snail ?
A.0.9mph B.0.006mph
C.0.25mph D.6.7mph
6.Why the summer fetes are reviving?
A.Increasing presence of middle-class urbanites B.The decline of village life
C.Have more skills D.Organize a fete with the requisite enthusiasm.
7.If you want to rent 10 snails ,how much do you need to pay?
A.£1 B.£13.5 C.$1.35 D.$13.5
8.What is the best title of the passage?
A.England:slow and quiet
B.Summer fete:Increasing and revival
C.Congham:World Snail Racing Championships
D.Village life: Slowly does it

Drinking: Just because you can——The rise of the women's-sports bar
THE HUM is nothing unusual. Talking heads on the televisions comment on the last play of the game and fans woot when the players hit big shots. But there are signs that it's not your normal sports bar. The menu features both bulgogi beef tacos and "Girl Dinner", a charcuterie board with dried apricots and olives. Instead of Heineken and tequila sodas the drink offerings include the "Sporty Spice Margarita", the "9-to-5" espresso martini and the "Red Card", a chilled fireball shot. The clientele is conspicuously lacking in Y chromosomes. So are the athletes on the screens. This is Jolene Jolene, a women's-sports bar.
Chelsea Fishman, its owner, opened Jolene Jolene in Atlanta on July 4th. That weekend 500 people came. The bar is a place for anyone who is tired of asking bartenders to change the channel to a women's game, she says. On a recent evening the bar was bubbling. "We've been wanting this for as long as we can remember," says a former college-basketball point guard, eating wings.
Jolene Jolene is among the first women's-sports bars. The movement started when Jenny Nguyen, a chef and basketball aficionado, founded The Sports Bra in Portland, Oregon, in 2022. Her niche is quickly becoming less niche: there are now about ten women's-sports bars. Over a dozen more—Babes, The Final Period and Tomboys, to name a few—are raising funds, renting spaces and finalising booze lists. The entrepreneurs, who tend to be first-time businesswomen, share tips and frustrations on a group chat that adds members each week.
The bars are opening in part because the games they screen are more popular than ever. Deloitte, a consulting firm, estimates that women's sports will generate $2.4bn in global revenue this year, up from $981m in 2023. Many attribute the change to the women's national soccer team and to Caitlin Clark, a basketball player who smashed records at the University of Iowa, then became last year's top pick for the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The 2024 college-championship game that she played in drew 24m viewers in its final minutes, more than any college game ever had on ESPN, America's biggest sports network. In May a WNBA team in San Francisco played its first game. Due to "surging demand", the league plans to add five more teams.
At Jolene Jolene fans need not fear that televisions will switch away from a women's game to show a men's one. Ms Fishman is adamant that Jolene Jolene is a women's-sports bar, not a bar just for women. When asked, its patrons say they are happy for men to join in too. But if women's sports are to become truly mainstream, one says, then the NBA ought to rename itself the MNBA.
9.What is the bar suitable for?
A.Sam,a odd policeman B.Jenny,a fan of sports
C.Sarah,a book seller D.Mike,an old writer
10.What do we know about WNBA?
A.It is becoming more and more popular B.It is a historical event
C.It is for man and students D.It is a world famous game
11.What is the author’s attitude towards the WNBA?
A.positive B.Negative
C.dismissive D.unconcerned
12.What does the passage mainly about?
A.The popularity of WNBA B.The reason why woman can drink wine
C.The rise of the women's-sports bar D.The difference between NBA and WNBA

On the G1546 train from Nanning East to Hangzhou West, a post-00s train attendant Qin Yunhao carries a plastic bag with him every time he works during the busy summer travel season, according to China Railway's official social media account.
This "mysterious plastic bag" contains a stack of primary school exam papers for various grades. If children are being noisy, Qin approaches them and "rewards" them with a test paper.
The bag also holds colorful stickers kids love—those who finish the test or behave quietly during the trip get one as a prize.
This summer, Qin's train has been especially crowded, popular with study tour groups and families. At times, student passengers make up half the carriage. Keeping children calm is a frequent topic discussed among the crew.
"I noticed some parents bring their kids' summer homework on board, which keeps them busy and quiet," Qin said. "So I thought, why not print simple exam papers for parents who didn't bring any?"
He added that many of his colleagues have their own tricks, like giving out coloring books, stickers, or small toys that help improve concentration. Some trains even set up "mobile play zones" in dining cars for young travelers.
13.What is in the bag?
A.very difficult exam papers kids afraid B.Some colorful stickers kids love
C.A lot of bitter medicine D.Some delicious candies and cookies
14.Where does Qin gets his inspiration?"
A.From a special book B.From his notice
C.From his parents D.From a great movie
15.What may you see in the train with noisy kids?
A.a train attendant is giving out coloring books B.A train attendant is singing for a noisy kid
C.A train attendant is arguing the kid’s parents D.A train attendant is dancing to music
16.What does Qin advise parents to do?
A.put children aside B.prepare toys ahead of time
C.just do nothing but enjoy the trip D.bring a lot of food to eat

Well informed:Should you take creatine?
The legal, safe, performance-enhancing drug may have benefits beyond sport
17. Many of the drugs that are known to work—anabolic steroids to make you stronger, say, or erythropoietin to boost your endurance—are banned and come with nasty side-effects.Many legal supplements, meanwhile, seem not to do anything useful.Panda Foreign Magazine Intensive Reading:Respect for Originality, Piracy Must Be Punished
An exception is creatine, a staple of sports nutrition and one of the few supplements with a solid evidence base behind it.One review paper from 2017 concluded that creatine can give athletes a 10-20% performance boost in brief bouts of high-intensity exercise, such as sprinting past a defender or lifting heavy weights.It appears to be safe, too, with no worrying side-effects seen even in people who have been taking the stuff for years.Because there is no test that can distinguish supplementary creatine from the sort naturally produced by the body, or indeed the kind found in meat and fish, most sports do not consider taking it to be doping.
Creatine works mainly by increasing the amount of energy that muscles can produce.Cells use a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a carrier of chemical energy.Aerobic respiration, which uses oxygen to break down fats or sugar, is by far the most efficient way of making ATP.18. When muscles need a lot of ATP in a hurry most of it is supplied instead by the phosphocreatine system which, as its name suggests, relies on creatine to work. (A third pathway, the glycolytic system, sits between the other two in both power and efficiency.)
When muscles contract, the ATP molecules used to power that contraction lose one of their three phosphate groups, turning into adenosine diphosphate (ADP).phosphocreatine stored in the muscles can donate a replacement phosphate group, turning ADP back into ATP, which can then power more contractions.But those reserves are sufficient for only a few seconds of maximal effort (this is why it is impossible to run a marathon at the same pace as one would run 100 metres).creatine supplements boost the amount of phosphocreatine that can be stored, allowing users to squeeze out a couple of extra reps or sprint at full power for a second longer.
19. A growing body of research suggests creatine may be good for brains as well as brawn.That makes sense: neurons need ATP just as muscle cells do, and the brain is hungry for energy.Despite accounting for about 2% of the body’s mass, the brain is thought to consume around 20% of its calories.Panda Foreign Magazine Intensive Reading:Respect for Originality, Piracy Must Be Punished
As summarised in a review published in 2021 in Nutrients, some studies have suggested that creatine might sharpen things like short-term memory or reaction times.Others have reported it may lessen the symptoms of mental-health problems such as depression, and tentative evidence suggests it improves cognition in those with Alzheimer’s disease.20.
In animals creatine seems to protect against the effects of concussions, which likewise seem to play havoc with the way brain cells are supplied with energy.In one study rats given creatine supplements showed a 50% reduction in damage after they were given an artificially induced brain injury.21. But as sport is a common cause of concussions, athletes taking creatine might get two benefits for the price of one.
IF YOU ARE a teenager in search of a chemical boost your options are not allowed.IF YOU ARE an athlete in search of a chemical boost your options are limited.
A.IF YOU ARE a teenager in search of a chemical boost your options are not allowed.
B.IF YOU ARE an athlete in search of a chemical boost your options are limited.
C.For now, the evidence regarding brains is not nearly as robust as that regarding muscles.
D.That may not be the only benefit.
E.That may benefit our brain more.
F.Both may be associated with a misallocation of energy within the brain.
G.But it is relatively slow.
