A
In 2025,a group of young inventors from China presented their latest creation at the World
Invention Expo in Geneva.The team,composed of high school students from Shenzhen,devel-
oped a portable water purification device that can turn even the most polluted water into drinka-
ble water within minutes.
The device,named"WaterSeer,uses a combination of advanced filtration technology and
solar power.It weighs only 2.5 kilograms and can purify up to 10 liters of water per hour.What
makes it particularly impressive is its affordability-the production cost is less than 50,mak-
ing it accessible to people in developing countries.
"Our inspiration came from the global water crisis,said team leader Li Jiawei."We wan-
ted to create a solution that is both effective and affordable.Many areas in Africa and Southeast
Asia still lack access to clean water,and we hope WaterSeer can make a difference."
The invention has already attracted the attention of several international organizations.The
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)has expressed interest in distributing Water-
Seer in regions affected by water scarcity.The team is now working with engineers to scale up
production and improve the device's durability.

In the age of social media,maintaining healthy relationships has become more challenging
than ever.A recent study conducted by the University of Oxford reveals that excessive use of
social media platforms is linked to increased feelings of loneliness and depression among teenag-
ers.
The study followed 1,500 teenagers aged 13-18 for two years.Researchers found that those
who spent more than three hours a day on social media were 35%more likely to report feelings
of loneliness."While social media can connect people in many ways,it also creates a false sense
of connection,said Dr.Emma Robinson,the lead researcher."Young people often compare
their lives with the carefully curated images they see online,which can lead to feelings of inade-
quacy.”
However,the study also found that social media can have positive effects when used moder-
ately.Teens who used social media to engage in meaningful conversations or join supportive
communities reported higher levels of well-being."It's not about banning social media,"Dr.
Robinson said."It's about promoting healthy usage habits and teaching young people to use
these platforms mindfully.
Many schools have started implementing programs to educate students about responsible
social media use.These programs focus on developing critical thinking skills and promoting off-
line interactions."We need to help young people understand that real relationships require face-
to-face communication,"said Sarah Johnson,a school counselor."Social media should be a
tool,not a substitute for real human connection."
()1.What is the main finding of the Oxford study?
A.Social media has no effect on teenagers.
B.Excessive social media use causes loneliness.
C.Social media improves mental health.

D.Because it's too time-consuming.
()3.What is Dr.Robinson's suggestion?

In 2024,the Chinese government introduced new regulations to address the issue of food
waste in restaurants.The regulations,which apply to all dining establishments,require restau-
rants to offer smaller portion sizes and provide discounts for customers who finish their meals.
The move comes as China aims to reduce food waste,which is estimated to be around 18
million tons annually."Food waste not only wastes resources but also has a negative impact on
the environment,"said a government spokesperson."These regulations are part of our efforts to
build a more sustainable society.
Many restaurants have embraced the new rules,introducing innovative ways to reduce
waste.For example,a popular chain in Beijing has developed a "smart ordering system"that
suggests portion sizes based on the number of diners and their eating habits.The system has re-
duced waste by 40%0 since its implementation.
However,some challenges remain.Smaller restaurants have expressed concerns about the
cost of implementing the new measures."We support the initiative,but it's difficult for small

businesses to afford the upgrades,said Wang Li,owner of a local restaurant.The government
has responded by offering subsidies to help small businesses adapt.
Experts believe the regulations are a step in the right direction but emphasize the need for
public participation."Reducing food waste requires a collective effort,"said Professor Zhang
from Tsinghua University."While regulations provide a framework,it's up to every individual
to adopt more sustainable eating habits."
()1.Why did the government introduce the new regulations?
A.To increase restaurant profits.
B.To reduce food waste.
C.To promote larger portion sizes.
D.To regulate dining hours.
()2.What is the annual food waste in China?

()3.What is the“smart ordering system”?
A.A system that suggests portion sizes.
B.A system that delivers food quickly.
C.A system that offers discounts.
D.A system that tracks customer habits.
()4.What is the concern of small restaurants?

The Importance of Innovation in Modern Society
Innovation is everywhere in modern society.In technology,inventions like AI and 3D
printing have transformed industries.In daily life,smartphones and shared bikes make our
lives more convenient.
Innovation brings positive changes.It improves efficiency,solves problems like pollu-
tion,and enriches our lives.For example,the WaterSeer device turns polluted water into
drinkable water,helping solve the global water crisis.
As students,we can cultivate innovation by observing daily life,asking questions,and
trying new things.We should also learn across different subjects to broaden our thinking.
Innovation is the key to a better future.
