Vertical Greening: A New Way to Make Cities Greener
In recent years, more and more cities around the world are facing environmental problems such as air pollution and the heat island effect (热岛效应). To solve these problems, many cities have started to try vertical greening (垂直绿化). Vertical greening means growing plants on the walls of buildings, bridges and other structures. It is a new and effective way to make cities greener and more livable.
Vertical greening has many advantages. First, it can improve air quality. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用). They can also filter (过滤) dust and harmful gases in the air, making the air cleaner. Second, it can reduce the heat island effect. Green plants can absorb heat from the sun and cool down the surrounding environment. Studies show that buildings with vertical greening are 5 to 8 degrees cooler in summer than those without. Third, vertical greening can provide habitats (栖息地) for birds and insects, helping to protect biodiversity (生物多样性). In addition, it can make cities more beautiful and enjoyable.
However, vertical greening is not easy to carry out. It requires careful planning and proper technology. For example, the walls need to be strong enough to support the weight of the plants and the soil. Special irrigation systems (灌溉系统) are also needed to water the plants regularly. Moreover, choosing the right plants is important. Some plants are more suitable for vertical growth, such as ivy (常春藤), climbing roses and ferns (蕨类植物). These plants have strong climbing abilities and can adapt to the environment on walls.
Many cities in China have already adopted vertical greening. For example, in Shanghai, many office buildings and residential buildings have green walls. The Shanghai Tower, one of the tallest buildings in the world, has a large-scale vertical greening system. In Guangzhou, some bridges are covered with green plants, which not only look beautiful but also help to reduce noise. These examples show that vertical greening is becoming more and more popular in China.
As cities continue to develop, vertical greening will play a more important role in creating a sustainable (可持续的) urban environment. It is a promising way to make our cities greener, healthier and more comfortable to live in.
26. What is vertical greening?
A. Growing plants on the ground in cities.
B. Growing plants on the walls of buildings and other structures.

The Popularity of Traditional Chinese Medicine Around the World
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history of over 2,000 years. It is an important part of Chinese culture. In recent years, TCM has become more and more popular around the world. People from different countries are showing great interest in TCM, such as acupuncture (针灸), cupping (拔火罐) and herbal medicine (草药).
One of the reasons for TCM’s popularity is its effectiveness in treating some diseases. For example, acupuncture is often used to treat pain, insomnia (失眠) and stress. Many people who have tried acupuncture say it works well. Cupping, another traditional therapy (疗法), is used to improve blood circulation (血液循环) and relieve muscle pain. During the 2016 Rio Olympics, the American swimmer Michael Phelps was seen with purple cupping marks on his body, which made cupping famous all over the world.
Another reason is that TCM pays attention to the balance of the human body. TCM believes that the human body is a whole, and illness is caused by the imbalance of yin and yang (阴阳). TCM doctors treat patients by adjusting this balance. They may use herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage or other therapies. Unlike Western medicine, which often focuses on treating specific symptoms (症状), TCM focuses on the overall health of the patient.
In addition, TCM is becoming more accepted because of the increasing exchange between China and other countries. Many TCM colleges and hospitals have been set up around the world. For example, in Australia, there are many TCM clinics (诊所) that provide acupuncture and herbal medicine services. In the United States, some universities offer courses on TCM. More and more people are learning about TCM and recognizing its value.
However, TCM still faces some challenges. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of international standards (标准) for TCM products and therapies. This makes it difficult for TCM to be widely accepted in some countries. Another challenge is the shortage of qualified TCM doctors. To solve these problems, China has been working hard to promote the standardization (标准化) of TCM and train more TCM professionals.
Despite the challenges, TCM has a bright future. As people pay more attention to natural and healthy ways of treating diseases, TCM will continue to spread around the world and make greater contributions to human health.
31. How long is the history of TCM?
A. Over 1,000 years. B. Over 2,000 years. C. Over 3,000 years. D. Over 4,000 years.
32. Which of the following is NOT a TCM therapy mentioned in the passage?
A. Acupuncture. B. Cupping. C. Herbal medicine. D. Surgery.
33. Why did cupping become famous all over the world?
A. Because it is very effective in treating many diseases.
B. Because it is a traditional therapy with a long history.
C. Because Michael Phelps was seen with cupping marks during the 2016 Rio Olympics.
D. Because it is widely used in Western countries.
34. What is the difference between TCM and Western medicine?
A. TCM focuses on treating specific symptoms.
B. Western medicine focuses on the overall health of the patient.
C. TCM pays attention to the balance of the human body.
D. Western medicine uses herbal medicine to treat patients.
35. What is one of the challenges TCM faces?
A. The high cost of TCM products.
B. The lack of international standards for TCM products and therapies.
C. The difficulty in learning TCM.
D. The lack of TCM clinics around the world.

How to Improve Teenagers’ Digital Literacy
In the digital age, teenagers are growing up with the Internet, smartphones and other digital devices (设备). Digital literacy (数字素养) has become an important skill for them. Digital literacy means the ability to use digital devices and information correctly, safely and effectively. It helps teenagers learn better, communicate with others and prepare for their future careers. However, many teenagers lack good digital literacy, which may lead to problems such as Internet addiction (沉迷) and being cheated online. So, how to improve teenagers’ digital literacy?
First, schools should offer courses on digital literacy. These courses can teach teenagers how to search for useful information online, how to tell the difference between true and false information, and how to protect their personal information. For example, students can learn to check the source of online information to avoid being misled. They can also learn about cyberbullying (网络欺凌) and how to deal with it. Schools can also organize activities such as digital safety competitions to make learning more interesting.
Second, parents play an important role in improving their children’s digital literacy. Parents should set a good example by using digital devices properly.

Instead, they can use digital devices to learn new knowledge, read e-books and take online courses.
In addition, the government and society can provide more support. The government can make laws to protect teenagers’ rights online. It can also fund (资助) projects that promote digital literacy among teenagers. Social organizations can organize lectures and workshops on digital literacy for teenagers. For example, some organizations invite experts to talk about online safety and information literacy.
Improving teenagers’ digital literacy is a task that requires the joint efforts of schools, parents, teenagers themselves and the whole society. Only in this way can teenagers enjoy the benefits of the digital age and avoid the risks.
36. What is digital literacy?
A. The ability to use digital devices for fun.
B. The ability to use digital devices and information correctly, safely and effectively.

How to Organize a Successful School Clean-Up Day
A school clean-up day is a great way to make the school environment cleaner and more beautiful. It also helps students develop a sense of responsibility and teamwork. 41 Here are some tips to help you organize a successful school clean-up day.
First, form a planning team. 42 The team can include students from different grades and classes, as well as some teachers. The team’s job is to make a detailed plan for the clean-up day. For example, they need to decide the time, place, and tasks of the clean-up.
Second, promote the activity. 43 You can put up posters around the school, announce the activity on the school radio, or share it on the school’s WeChat official account. The purpose is to let more students know about the activity and encourage them to take part in it.
Third, prepare necessary tools and materials. 44 For example, you will need brooms, dustpans, garbage bags, gloves, and cleaning cloths. You can ask the school to provide these tools, or collect donations from students and parents. It’s also a good idea to prepare some first-aid kits (急救包) in case of accidents.

For example, one group can clean the classrooms, another group can clean the playground, and another group can clean the corridors. Make sure that each task is clear and that every student knows what to do.
Finally, hold a summary meeting after the activity. At the meeting, you can praise the students who performed well, share the results of the clean-up, and collect suggestions for future activities. This will make the students feel recognized and encourage them to take part in more similar activities.
By following these tips, you can organize a successful school clean-up day and make your school a better place to study and live in.
A. It’s not easy to organize a successful clean-up day, but it’s worth trying.

Vertical Greening: A New Way to Make Cities Greener
In recent years, more and more cities around the world are facing environmental problems such as air pollution and the heat island effect (热岛效应). To solve these problems, many cities have started to try vertical greening (垂直绿化). Vertical greening means growing plants on the walls of buildings, bridges and other structures. It is a new and effective way to make cities greener and more livable.
Vertical greening has many advantages. First, it can improve air quality. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用). They can also filter (过滤) dust and harmful gases in the air, making the air cleaner. Second, it can reduce the heat island effect. Green plants can absorb heat from the sun and cool down the surrounding environment. Studies show that buildings with vertical greening are 5 to 8 degrees cooler in summer than those without. Third, vertical greening can provide habitats (栖息地) for birds and insects, helping to protect biodiversity (生物多样性). In addition, it can make cities more beautiful and enjoyable.
However, vertical greening is not easy to carry out. It requires careful planning and proper technology. For example, the walls need to be strong enough to support the weight of the plants and the soil. Special irrigation systems (灌溉系统) are also needed to water the plants regularly. Moreover, choosing the right plants is important. Some plants are more suitable for vertical growth, such as ivy (常春藤), climbing roses and ferns (蕨类植物). These plants have strong climbing abilities and can adapt to the environment on walls.
Many cities in China have already adopted vertical greening. For example, in Shanghai, many office buildings and residential buildings have green walls. The Shanghai Tower, one of the tallest buildings in the world, has a large-scale vertical greening system. In Guangzhou, some bridges are covered with green plants, which not only look beautiful but also help to reduce noise. These examples show that vertical greening is becoming more and more popular in China.
As cities continue to develop, vertical greening will play a more important role in creating a sustainable (可持续的) urban environment. It is a promising way to make our cities greener, healthier and more comfortable to live in.
26. What is vertical greening?
A. Growing plants on the ground in cities.
B. Growing plants on the walls of buildings and other structures.
C. Making cities greener by planting more trees in parks.
D. Using green materials to build buildings.
27. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of vertical greening?
A. Improving air quality. B. Reducing the heat island effect.
C. Increasing the weight of buildings. D. Protecting biodiversity.
28. Why is choosing the right plants important for vertical greening?
A. Because some plants are more expensive.
B. Because some plants have strong climbing abilities and can adapt to the wall environment.
C. Because some plants can absorb more carbon dioxide.
D. Because some plants are more beautiful.
29. Which city in China is mentioned as an example of adopting vertical greening?
A. Beijing B. Shanghai C. Chengdu D. Chongqing
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The problems of modern cities.
B. The advantages of vertical greening.
C. Vertical greening as a new way to make cities greener.
D. The development of vertical greening in the world.

The Popularity of Traditional Chinese Medicine Around the World
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history of over 2,000 years. It is an important part of Chinese culture. In recent years, TCM has become more and more popular around the world. People from different countries are showing great interest in TCM, such as acupuncture (针灸), cupping (拔火罐) and herbal medicine (草药).
One of the reasons for TCM’s popularity is its effectiveness in treating some diseases. For example, acupuncture is often used to treat pain, insomnia (失眠) and stress. Many people who have tried acupuncture say it works well. Cupping, another traditional therapy (疗法), is used to improve blood circulation (血液循环) and relieve muscle pain. During the 2016 Rio Olympics, the American swimmer Michael Phelps was seen with purple cupping marks on his body, which made cupping famous all over the world.
Another reason is that TCM pays attention to the balance of the human body. TCM believes that the human body is a whole, and illness is caused by the imbalance of yin and yang (阴阳). TCM doctors treat patients by adjusting this balance. They may use herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage or other therapies. Unlike Western medicine, which often focuses on treating specific symptoms (症状), TCM focuses on the overall health of the patient.
In addition, TCM is becoming more accepted because of the increasing exchange between China and other countries. Many TCM colleges and hospitals have been set up around the world. For example, in Australia, there are many TCM clinics (诊所) that provide acupuncture and herbal medicine services. In the United States, some universities offer courses on TCM. More and more people are learning about TCM and recognizing its value.
However, TCM still faces some challenges. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of international standards (标准) for TCM products and therapies. This makes it difficult for TCM to be widely accepted in some countries. Another challenge is the shortage of qualified TCM doctors. To solve these problems, China has been working hard to promote the standardization (标准化) of TCM and train more TCM professionals.
Despite the challenges, TCM has a bright future. As people pay more attention to natural and healthy ways of treating diseases, TCM will continue to spread around the world and make greater contributions to human health.
31. How long is the history of TCM?
A. Over 1,000 years. B. Over 2,000 years. C. Over 3,000 years. D. Over 4,000 years.
32. Which of the following is NOT a TCM therapy mentioned in the passage?
A. Acupuncture. B. Cupping. C. Herbal medicine. D. Surgery.

How to Improve Teenagers’ Digital Literacy
In the digital age, teenagers are growing up with the Internet, smartphones and other digital devices (设备). Digital literacy (数字素养) has become an important skill for them. Digital literacy means the ability to use digital devices and information correctly, safely and effectively. It helps teenagers learn better, communicate with others and prepare for their future careers. However, many teenagers lack good digital literacy, which may lead to problems such as Internet addiction (沉迷) and being cheated online. So, how to improve teenagers’ digital literacy?
First, schools should offer courses on digital literacy. These courses can teach teenagers how to search for useful information online, how to tell the difference between true and false information, and how to protect their personal information. For example, students can learn to check the source of online information to avoid being misled. They can also learn about cyberbullying (网络欺凌) and how to deal with it. Schools can also organize activities such as digital safety competitions to make learning more interesting.
Second, parents play an important role in improving their children’s digital literacy. Parents should set a good example by using digital devices properly. They can also talk to their children about the risks of the Internet and teach them to use digital devices in a healthy way. For instance, parents can agree with their children on the time spent using smartphones and computers. They can also share interesting and educational online resources with their children and discuss them together.
Third, teenagers themselves should realize the importance of digital literacy. They should actively learn digital skills and develop good habits when using digital devices. For example, they should not share their personal information such as phone numbers and addresses with strangers online. They should also avoid spending too much time playing online games. Instead, they can use digital devices to learn new knowledge, read e-books and take online courses.
In addition, the government and society can provide more support. The government can make laws to protect teenagers’ rights online. It can also fund (资助) projects that promote digital literacy among teenagers. Social organizations can organize lectures and workshops on digital literacy for teenagers. For example, some organizations invite experts to talk about online safety and information literacy.
Improving teenagers’ digital literacy is a task that requires the joint efforts of schools, parents, teenagers themselves and the whole society. Only in this way can teenagers enjoy the benefits of the digital age and avoid the risks.

How to Organize a Successful School Clean-Up Day
A school clean-up day is a great way to make the school environment cleaner and more beautiful. It also helps students develop a sense of responsibility and teamwork. 41 Here are some tips to help you organize a successful school clean-up day.
First, form a planning team. 42 The team can include students from different grades and classes, as well as some teachers. The team’s job is to make a detailed plan for the clean-up day. For example, they need to decide the time, place, and tasks of the clean-up.
Second, promote the activity. 43 You can put up posters around the school, announce the activity on the school radio, or share it on the school’s WeChat official account. The purpose is to let more students know about the activity and encourage them to take part in it.

For example, one group can clean the classrooms, another group can clean the playground, and another group can clean the corridors. Make sure that each task is clear and that every student knows what to do.
Finally, hold a summary meeting after the activity. At the meeting, you can praise the students who performed well, share the results of the clean-up, and collect suggestions for future activities. This will make the students feel recognized and encourage them to take part in more similar activities.
By following these tips, you can organize a successful school clean-up day and make your school a better place to study and live in.

Reading is an important part of our life. It can open our minds and b 71 us a lot of knowledge. However, many teenagers don’t have the habit of reading. Some even f 72 it boring to read long passages. They spend too much time playing computer games or watching TV.
To encourage teenagers to read more, our school has set up a reading corner in each classroom. The reading corner is filled with different kinds of books, such as novels, science books and history books. Students can borrow books from the reading corner for f 73 . Every week, we have a special reading class where teachers s 74 useful reading skills to us. During the class, students can read any book they like and share their reading e 75 with their classmates.
Last month, our school held a reading competition. Many students took part in it. The competition included two parts: reading speed and reading comprehension. I also joined the competition. At first, I was a little nervous, but I tried my best. F 76 , I won the third prize. I was very happy and proud of myself. This competition made me more interested in reading.
Now, more and more students are getting interested in reading. They often read books during break time or after school. Some students even form reading groups. They meet every week to discuss the books they have read. Reading has become a popular activity in our school.
In my opinion, reading is a valuable activity. It not only helps us learn more knowledge but also improves our language skills. It can also help us r 77 and reduce stress. I hope more teenagers can develop the habit of reading and enjoy the b 78 of reading.
If you don’t like reading now, don’t worry. You can start with a book that interests you. For example, if you like science, you can read science f 79 novels. If you like stories, you can read detective stories. Gradually, you will find that reading is interesting and meaningful. Remember, reading is a lifelong j 80 .
