【中考真题】
Everyone knows that forests help fight climate change. However, a recent scientific report shows that the world lost 300,000 square kilometers of forests in 2024. That’s an area about the size of Italy.
According to the report, for the first time ever, fires were the biggest cause of forest loss. ▲ . This country has the largest area of rainforest in the world. Last year, it suffered from a long period of dry weather. Wildfires broke out and spread. As a result, about 25,000 square kilometers of the primary rainforest disappeared in the country. This meant fires caused 66% of its forest loss.
The second biggest cause of the world’s forest loss was clearing land for farming. As people need more farmland, they keep cutting down forests every year. In 2024, the area of forest cleared for farming increased by 14% worldwide. The situation was more severe in developing countries. For example, Bolivia’s forest loss doubled in 2024.
Without doubt, something must be done. Experts call on governments, businesses and people to work together before it is too late. It seems that China has set a good example. Thanks to cooperation at many levels, China had the biggest increase in forest area among all countries in 2024. That year alone, newly-planted trees in China covered an area of nearly 45,000 square kilometers, according to a news report. If more countries start to take action like China, the earth will become a greener planet.

People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.
The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves.
Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens.
The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.

Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.
A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest.
Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.

When you walk in a Chinese city early in the morning, you will see groups of people exercising in the park. You’ll see them moving through a set of slow movements. As their bodies move from one exercise to the next, their minds are focused only on their deep, relaxed breath.
Tai Chi is part of the national cultural heritage (遗产), which Chinese people take pride in. According to a survey in 2007, more than 2 million Americans practiced Tai Chi.
Tai Chi is called a mind-body type of exercise because it mixes meditation (冥想) with physical movement. Because it’s also a low-impact (低冲击) exercise, it may be suitable for older adults. But it’s a useful exercise for people of all ages.
If Tai Chi is something you might like to try, look for a Tai Chi class near you. Keep in mind that training programs are different in many ways. You might want to ask around for advice or try a class before you sign up. ▲
Tai Chi is generally considered a low-risk exercise that is both safe and enjoyable. If you have any physical or medical problems, talk with your health care provider before starting any exercise program. And remember, although Tai Chi has many benefits, it can’t take the place of regular medical care.

Climate change has caused serious health problems around the world. More and more people have paid attention to the problems caused by climate change.
Extreme weather events such as high temperatures, floods, and wildfires usually happen around the world. For example, there was heavy rain in Liaoning in 2024 and long hot days in the south that year. These disasters broke houses, ruined crops and made people move. In 2024, floods alone affected over 53 million Chinese people and brought big losses, which are bad for people’s lives and health.
Another big problem is air pollution. It’s getting worse because of wildfires and the use of oil and coal. What’s more, climate change makes Beijing’s pollen (花粉) seasons longer and worse. The spring pollen season in Beijing in 2024 probably started on March 15th. Its 2025 spring pollen came 4 to 7 days earlier than in 2024. When thunderstorms come, they break pollen into very small pieces. These small pieces easily get into people’s noses and throats, which causes breathing problems. All these changes are especially bad for children and old people.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has worked with countries. They want to build healthy systems that are good for the environment. This includes training doctors, providing good medical machines and making low-carbon projects. For example, some countries are using renewable energy like solar power to supply electricity to hospitals so as to cut pollution.
Nowadays, countries around the world are making efforts for this. By joining efforts in energy, environmental protection and public health, the world can be better.
1.The number of Chinese people affected by floods in Paragraph 2 is mentioned to ________?
A.show that people hate living in flood areas
B.show floods’ great harm to people
C.compare the numbers between 2024 and 2025
D.show that China has more floods than other countries
2.Why has air pollution become more serious?
A.Because floods break houses.
B.Because air pollution changes the season.
C.Because wildfires happen and oil and coal are used.
D.Because polluted air leads to lung disease.
3.When did Beijing’s 2025 spring pollen season most likely start?
A.On March 10th. B.On March 15th. C.On March 25th. D.On April 5th.
4.What does the underlined word “renewable” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Relative. B.New. C.Expensive. D.Green.

Can you imagine a butterfly with a human face? Or a Chinese dragon with a fish tail? Such creative and interesting ideas appear in Miao embroidery (刺绣) from Guizhou. Miao embroidery is an important part of Miao culture and a treasure of traditional Chinese clothing culture. It was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录) on May 20, 2006. It is considered one of the finest examples of embroidery art.
Miao embroidery has a long history of more than 2,000 years. Miao people embroider different patterns on clothes, such as dragons, fish, flowers and birds. These designs aren’t just for beauty. What’s more, many of them play a role in recording their history and culture. This is because Miao people do not have their own written language. Therefore, Miao embroidery is often known as “the Miao history worn on the body”. It is said that a Miao leader named Lanjuan came up with this idea.
The main materials of Miao embroidery are silk, cotton and horsehair. ▲ These natural materials make clothes more comfortable to wear. However, these materials are difficult to keep. Therefore, it is hard for people to see Miao embroidery products with a history of more than 200 years today.
Now we can find elements (元素) of Miao embroidery in modern clothes, shoes, bags, hats and so on. Besides, there are many cultural and original products about Miao embroidery. Miao embroidery is becoming more and more popular at home and abroad.

Sleep helps your body and brain. It keeps you healthy, happy, and strong! Yet many people don’t realize the importance of getting enough sleep. That’s why World Sleep Day comes around every March! It’s a great time to learn how sleep helps you in many ways.
Sleep can make you stronger. When you sleep, your body gets busy fixing itself. It is like a tiny construction site (微型建筑工地)! The “workers” inside your body repair your muscles and tissues (肌肉和组织). They also help make your immune system (免疫系统) stronger. Getting enough sleep helps you wake up feeling healthy and full of energy.
Sleep can help you grow taller. For kids and teenagers, sleep plays an important role in their growth. A study shows that not getting enough sleep can lead to children being shorter. When you sleep, your body releases a growth hormone (激素). The more growth hormones it makes, the taller you will grow. So if you want to grow taller, you know what to do.
Sleep can also help you remember information. When you sleep, your brain doesn’t stop working. Instead, it does different activities, especially during a time called REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. During this time, your brain goes over what you learned in the day. This helps you remember things better. If you read a book or practice a speech before bed, your brain can remember the information more easily. That’s a smart way to study!
The science of sleep shows its importance to your body and mind. As you lie down each night, think about the amazing progress happening in your body.

Anger often makes us uncomfortable. Seeing your child’s anger can be especially uncomfortable. In order to relieve (缓解) this feeling, parents often encourage children to “stop crying” and say things like “There’s nothing to cry about.” In fact, these parents are just doing what they were taught by their own parents, who were probably taught that by their parents on and on. However, we should learn how to create healthy anger in our kids.
If a child never sees his or her parents express anger, he or she may never express anger, either. But if parents always express their anger loudly, their child may start to think of anger as something that is always frightening.
The first thing you can do to create healthy anger in your children is to practice creating healthy anger in yourself. Once you’re better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way, you’ll be able to set a good example for your kids.
It’s wrong to stop kids from expressing their feelings. People may feel bad when they believe they are wrong. So, when children express their feelings and are told that there’s nothing to cry about, they come to know that they themselves are bad.
We need to raise them in an environment where it’s safe to express feelings. You can teach your children why anger is a helpful feeling once you feel more comfortable with your own anger. When your kids express anger, help them examine what it is that has made them angry. Why did it make them angry? How did it do that? Then, you can teach them that those feelings are never wrong and show them our expressions of feelings are in our control.
Anger is natural and normal, and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way.
1.What does the underlined word “frightening” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Comfortable. B.Scary. C.Proper. D.Ugly.
2.What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A.Parents have a great influence on their children.
B.Parents should get angry with their children.
C.Expressing anger loudly is right, not wrong.
D.Children should express their anger like their parents.
3.How can parents set a good example for kids?
A.By stopping kids from expressing their anger.
B.By expressing their own anger in a healthy way.
C.By letting kids know they are right or wrong.
D.By raising kids in a safe environment.
4.The writer thinks that anger is a kind of feeling that is ________.
A.wrong B.uncomfortable C.harmful D.helpful
5.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Anger often makes us and our children uncomfortable.
B.Parents should always be angry with their kids.

Satellites will be able to get a new view and find out the thickness of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean all year round. This will help scientists keep a closer eye on sea-ice melting, and predict the real influences of the earth’s warmer climate.
The European Space Agency’s CryoSat-2 task measures the thickness of ice in the polar Arctic Ocean. The satellite can find out the height difference between the top of the ice and the water surface. It sends a pulse of microwaves (a type of light energy) towards the surface. When the energy hits ice or water, the refection moves back to the satellite, allowing scientists________.
However, in summer, pools of melted water on top of the ice are mistaken by the radar because they can look like the ocean surface. This means that between May and September—the key period of ice melting results from CrySst-2 have been changeable.
To get around this problem, Dr Jack Landy and his partners from the Arctic University of Norway have used an artificial intelligence (AI) system to train the radar to know the difference between open ocean and melted water. AI is a computer system that can do things that usually require human wisdom. The researchers have been able to go back through the years, and work out how the thickness of sea ice has changed over time.
Because of climate change (the long term changes in world weather) caused mainly by human activities, scientists think that the Arctic Ocean is headed for ice-free summers. This will influence many animals, such as polar bears and walruses, as well as people who live in the area. However, predictions about when this might happen are quite wrong. “We need to pay attention to those predictions so we’re a lot more certain about what’s going to happen and when.” Dr. Landy told BBC News. The new information could help scientists, better prepare for, or even prevent, the worst results of climate change.
1.What does the underlined word “melting” mean?
A.quickly appearing B.becoming hotter. C.becoming colder. D.slowly disappearing.
2.Which of the following can be put into “________” in the second paragraph?
A.to stop working out the problem B.to change their idea about climate change
C.to continue studying how climate changes D.to work out how high the ice is above water
3.The changeable results from CryoSat-2 are shown ________.
A.in spring B.in summer C.in autumn D.in winter
4.What does Dr. Landy think of the predictions?
A.Important. B.Impossible. C.Interesting. D.Wonderful.
5.The best title for the passage may be “________”.
A.What is the artificial intelligence system?
B.Climate change comes from human activities
C.Satellites help scientists predict the influences of warmer climate
D.The Arctic Ocean is headed for ice-free summers
【答案】1.D 2.D 3.B 4.A 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇关于卫星技术帮助科学家监测和预测北冰洋海冰融化及气候变暖影响的文章。
1.词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“Satellites will be able to get a new view and find out the thickness of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean all year round. This will help scientists keep a closer eye on sea-ice melting, and predict the real influences of the earth’s warmer climate.”可知,卫星将能够全年获取新视角,并查明北冰洋海冰的厚度,这将有助于科学家更密切地关注海冰的融化,并预测地球气候变暖的真正影响。由此可推断,“melting”在此处指的是海冰的“融化”,即“slowly disappearing(慢慢消失)”。故选D。
2.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The satellite can find out the height difference between the top of the ice and the water surface. It sends a pulse of microwaves (a type of light energy) towards the surface. When the energy hits ice or water, the refection moves back to the satellite, allowing scientists...”可知,卫星能够发现冰面顶部和水面之间的高度差,它向表面发射一束微波(一种光能),当能量撞击冰或水时,反射波会返回到卫星,这允许科学家们……结合选项,D选项“to work out how high the ice is above water(计算出冰在水面上的高度)”符合语境,即科学家们可以通过反射波计算出冰在水面上的高度。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“However, in summer, pools of melted water on top of the ice are mistaken by the radar because they can look like the ocean surface. This means that between May and September—the key period of ice melting results from CryoSat-2 have been changeable.”可知,在夏季,冰面上的融水被雷达误认为是海洋表面,这意味着在5月至9月这个海冰融化的关键时期,CryoSat-2的结果是可变的。故选B。
4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, predictions about when this might happen are quite wrong. ‘We need to pay attention to those predictions so we’re a lot more certain about what’s going to happen and when.’ Dr. Landy told BBC News.”可知,然而,关于这种情况何时可能发生的预测是相当错误的,兰迪博士告诉BBC新闻:“我们需要关注这些预测,这样我们就能更确定会发生什么以及何时发生。”由此可推断,兰迪博士认为这些预测是重要的。故选A。
5.最佳标题题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了卫星如何帮助科学家预测气候变暖的影响,特别是关于北冰洋海冰融化的预测。结合选项,C选项“Satellites help scientists predict the influences of warmer climate(卫星帮助科学家预测气候变暖的影响)”最符合文章主旨,是最佳标题。故选C。

【中考真题】
Everyone knows that forests help fight climate change. However, a recent scientific report shows that the world lost 300,000 square kilometers of forests in 2024. That’s an area about the size of Italy.
According to the report, for the first time ever, fires were the biggest cause of forest loss. ▲ . This country has the largest area of rainforest in the world. Last year, it suffered from a long period of dry weather. Wildfires broke out and spread. As a result, about 25,000 square kilometers of the primary rainforest disappeared in the country. This meant fires caused 66% of its forest loss.
The second biggest cause of the world’s forest loss was clearing land for farming. As people need more farmland, they keep cutting down forests every year. In 2024, the area of forest cleared for farming increased by 14% worldwide. The situation was more severe in developing countries. For example, Bolivia’s forest loss doubled in 2024.
Without doubt, something must be done. Experts call on governments, businesses and people to work together before it is too late. It seems that China has set a good example. Thanks to cooperation at many levels, China had the biggest increase in forest area among all countries in 2024. That year alone, newly-planted trees in China covered an area of nearly 45,000 square kilometers, according to a news report. If more countries start to take action like China, the earth will become a greener planet.

People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.
The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves.
Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens.
The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.

Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.
A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest.
Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
1.Where is this passage most probably from?
A.A storybook. B.An art magazine.

China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) announced an important achievement in deep earth exploration. China’s first 10,000-meter scientific exploration well (探索井), named Shenditake 1, was successfully completed at a depth (深度) of 10,910 meters underground in the Tarim Basin, Xinjiang.
China has now made big progress in exploring deep into the earth. Shenditake 1, in the middle of the Taklimakan Desert, known as the “Sea of Death”, has set a new Asian record for deep earth drilling (钻探), and the well was drilled using China’s self-developed tools.
The digging process was full of challenges. From the surface to 10,000 meters, it took only 279 days, but the final 910 meters took more than 300 days to complete due to hard conditions under the ground. The well met many difficulties such as tool failures, holes falling down, and heavy loads. However, with the support of new technology and tools, Chinese engineers overcame these challenges and achieved this historic breakthrough.
This success marks an important step forward in China’s deep earth drilling engineering. Shenditake 1 is a proud symbol of China’s scientific and technological progress.

On April 19, 2025, Beijing held the world’s first half-marathon (21 km) for humanoid robots (人形机器人). This special event showed China’s leading role in robot technology. Twenty robots joined in, but only six finished. The winner, “Tiangong”, was 1.8 meters tall and finished in 2 hours and 40 minutes. Scientists used this race to test how robots work in real places like streets, not only in labs.
Beyond competitions, these robots now solve real problems across China. For example, a power line robot can work in very hot or cold places (-40℃ to 80℃) where humans cannot go safely. Now, robot development is growing fast: over 50 Chinese companies received more than 6 billion yuan in financial support this spring, showing strong confidence in this technology!
Global and Chinese companies are racing to develop robots, but there are still challenges. Both Chinese and global companies like Xpeng, BYD, Tesla, and Huawei are building robots. However, experts say that factory robots for simple tasks may come soon, while it will take many more years for home robots to handle difficult housework.
Robots with wheels move easily, but humanoid robots still find it hard to walk or climb stairs. The good news is that new AI technology is improving robots’ “brains”, helping them make decisions faster. Someday humanoid robots might deliver packages, help doctors, or even tutor students with homework in China!

Since computers were invented in the USA in the 1950s, they have become very important in many areas of work and leisure (空闲时间). ▲ that computers are very useful in technology and business.
In space, computers have been used to control the speed and direction of a spaceship. In medicine, doctors can find diseases easily and solve hard problems with the help of computers. For example, tiny computers, which are placed inside patients’ bodies, can keep their hearts beating normally. In factories, robots are controlled by computer systems that are like human brains. They can do work that is dangerous to humans. In business, computers are used to place and cancel (取消) orders. They are also making the workplace safer and better.
Since the internet came into being, people’s lives at home have been changed, too. More and more people have personal computers that are used to search for information and watch movies. Thanks to the internet, people can do shopping and do business at home. Instead of writing letters on paper, people communicate by sending e-mails and chatting online. The whole world is connected. The internet is making the world smaller, like a intimate village.
Computers have improved our lives, but they have brought problems, too. If we work on computers too long, we may get headaches or sore eyes, and we won’t have enough time to study or exercise. Besides, not everything we read on the internet is true or good for us. Computers help us at work and at home, but they must be used wisely.

When you walk in a Chinese city early in the morning, you will see groups of people exercising in the park. You’ll see them moving through a set of slow movements. As their bodies move from one exercise to the next, their minds are focused only on their deep, relaxed breath.
Tai Chi is part of the national cultural heritage (遗产), which Chinese people take pride in. According to a survey in 2007, more than 2 million Americans practiced Tai Chi.
Tai Chi is called a mind-body type of exercise because it mixes meditation (冥想) with physical movement. Because it’s also a low-impact (低冲击) exercise, it may be suitable for older adults. But it’s a useful exercise for people of all ages.
If Tai Chi is something you might like to try, look for a Tai Chi class near you. Keep in mind that training programs are different in many ways. You might want to ask around for advice or try a class before you sign up. ▲
Tai Chi is generally considered a low-risk exercise that is both safe and enjoyable.

Climate change has caused serious health problems around the world. More and more people have paid attention to the problems caused by climate change.
Extreme weather events such as high temperatures, floods, and wildfires usually happen around the world. For example, there was heavy rain in Liaoning in 2024 and long hot days in the south that year. These disasters broke houses, ruined crops and made people move. In 2024, floods alone affected over 53 million Chinese people and brought big losses, which are bad for people’s lives and health.
Another big problem is air pollution. It’s getting worse because of wildfires and the use of oil and coal. What’s more, climate change makes Beijing’s pollen (花粉) seasons longer and worse. The spring pollen season in Beijing in 2024 probably started on March 15th. Its 2025 spring pollen came 4 to 7 days earlier than in 2024. When thunderstorms come, they break pollen into very small pieces. These small pieces easily get into people’s noses and throats, which causes breathing problems. All these changes are especially bad for children and old people.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has worked with countries. They want to build healthy systems that are good for the environment. This includes training doctors, providing good medical machines and making low-carbon projects. For example, some countries are using renewable energy like solar power to supply electricity to hospitals so as to cut pollution.
Nowadays, countries around the world are making efforts for this. By joining efforts in energy, environmental protection and public health, the world can be better.

Can you imagine a butterfly with a human face? Or a Chinese dragon with a fish tail? Such creative and interesting ideas appear in Miao embroidery (刺绣) from Guizhou. Miao embroidery is an important part of Miao culture and a treasure of traditional Chinese clothing culture. It was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录) on May 20, 2006. It is considered one of the finest examples of embroidery art.
Miao embroidery has a long history of more than 2,000 years. Miao people embroider different patterns on clothes, such as dragons, fish, flowers and birds. These designs aren’t just for beauty. What’s more, many of them play a role in recording their history and culture. This is because Miao people do not have their own written language. Therefore, Miao embroidery is often known as “the Miao history worn on the body”. It is said that a Miao leader named Lanjuan came up with this idea.
The main materials of Miao embroidery are silk, cotton and horsehair. ▲ These natural materials make clothes more comfortable to wear. However, these materials are difficult to keep. Therefore, it is hard for people to see Miao embroidery products with a history of more than 200 years today.
Now we can find elements (元素) of Miao embroidery in modern clothes, shoes, bags, hats and so on. Besides, there are many cultural and original products about Miao embroidery. Miao embroidery is becoming more and more popular at home and abroad.

Sleep helps your body and brain. It keeps you healthy, happy, and strong! Yet many people don’t realize the importance of getting enough sleep. That’s why World Sleep Day comes around every March! It’s a great time to learn how sleep helps you in many ways.
Sleep can make you stronger. When you sleep, your body gets busy fixing itself. It is like a tiny construction site (微型建筑工地)! The “workers” inside your body repair your muscles and tissues (肌肉和组织). They also help make your immune system (免疫系统) stronger. Getting enough sleep helps you wake up feeling healthy and full of energy.
Sleep can help you grow taller. For kids and teenagers, sleep plays an important role in their growth. A study shows that not getting enough sleep can lead to children being shorter. When you sleep, your body releases a growth hormone (激素). The more growth hormones it makes, the taller you will grow. So if you want to grow taller, you know what to do.
Sleep can also help you remember information. When you sleep, your brain doesn’t stop working. Instead, it does different activities, especially during a time called REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. During this time, your brain goes over what you learned in the day. This helps you remember things better. If you read a book or practice a speech before bed, your brain can remember the information more easily. That’s a smart way to study!
The science of sleep shows its importance to your body and mind. As you lie down each night, think about the amazing progress happening in your body.

Have you ever heard of mamianqun (马面裙)? This Chinese skirt dates back to (追溯到) the Song Dynasty (960-1279) and it became popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has four skirt doors in front and back overlapping (重叠) each other. And the overlapping part of the skirt doors is called mamianqun.
In 2022, a fashion brand (品牌) copied the design of the skirt. However, many people didn’t understand the design of it. So hanfu lovers began to spread knowledge of the skirt. Such an action helped more people learn about traditional Chinese clothes. “For us, wearing the skirt is not just for fashion (时尚),” said Mao, a hanfu lover. ________ Recently, the skirt has got even more attention. Many famous Chinese people have worn it to take part in international activities. And during holidays, lots of young people wear the skirt when they go on trips.
People in other countries like this kind of skirt as well. Chinese clothing companies have got a lot of orders for it from many other countries. A report found that people from more than 90 countries posted the skirt on the Internet last year! This is a good example of Chinese culture going around the world.

Anger often makes us uncomfortable. Seeing your child’s anger can be especially uncomfortable. In order to relieve (缓解) this feeling, parents often encourage children to “stop crying” and say things like “There’s nothing to cry about.” In fact, these parents are just doing what they were taught by their own parents, who were probably taught that by their parents on and on. However, we should learn how to create healthy anger in our kids.
If a child never sees his or her parents express anger, he or she may never express anger, either. But if parents always express their anger loudly, their child may start to think of anger as something that is always frightening.
The first thing you can do to create healthy anger in your children is to practice creating healthy anger in yourself. Once you’re better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way, you’ll be able to set a good example for your kids.
It’s wrong to stop kids from expressing their feelings. People may feel bad when they believe they are wrong. So, when children express their feelings and are told that there’s nothing to cry about, they come to know that they themselves are bad.
We need to raise them in an environment where it’s safe to express feelings. You can teach your children why anger is a helpful feeling once you feel more comfortable with your own anger. When your kids express anger, help them examine what it is that has made them angry. Why did it make them angry? How did it do that? Then, you can teach them that those feelings are never wrong and show them our expressions of feelings are in our control.
Anger is natural and normal, and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way.

Satellites will be able to get a new view and find out the thickness of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean all year round. This will help scientists keep a closer eye on sea-ice melting, and predict the real influences of the earth’s warmer climate.
The European Space Agency’s CryoSat-2 task measures the thickness of ice in the polar Arctic Ocean. The satellite can find out the height difference between the top of the ice and the water surface. It sends a pulse of microwaves (a type of light energy) towards the surface. When the energy hits ice or water, the refection moves back to the satellite, allowing scientists________.
However, in summer, pools of melted water on top of the ice are mistaken by the radar because they can look like the ocean surface. This means that between May and September—the key period of ice melting results from CrySst-2 have been changeable.
To get around this problem, Dr Jack Landy and his partners from the Arctic University of Norway have used an artificial intelligence (AI) system to train the radar to know the difference between open ocean and melted water. AI is a computer system that can do things that usually require human wisdom. The researchers have been able to go back through the years, and work out how the thickness of sea ice has changed over time.
Because of climate change (the long term changes in world weather) caused mainly by human activities, scientists think that the Arctic Ocean is headed for ice-free summers. This will influence many animals, such as polar bears and walruses, as well as people who live in the area. However, predictions about when this might happen are quite wrong. “We need to pay attention to those predictions so we’re a lot more certain about what’s going to happen and when.” Dr. Landy told BBC News. The new information could help scientists, better prepare for, or even prevent, the worst results of climate change.
