Villagers asked, “You travelled all your life. Do you regret (后悔) it?” His eyes still shone brightly, “I saw China's greatest wonders and walked where heroes like Zhang Qian once stood. How could I regret it?” This man was Xu Xiake, a traveller who left his footprints across China. Born into a rich family in Jiangyin, Xu had a strong love for geography and nature at an early age. At 18, his father passed away, forcing (迫使) him to take charge of the family farm. Luckily, his mother fully understood his passion and agreed him to travel for three months each year during the farming off-season. For about 30 years, he travelled across most parts of the Ming Empire, mostly on foot. He climbed Huangshan and Lianhua Peak of Huangshan, proving that Lianhua was higher. He recorded every detail of landforms in his diary which developed into The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, a work of over 500,000 words.

C A new social media trend (潮流) — known as “Becoming Chinese” — is drawing the attention of TikTok users around the world. This cultural exchange has led to a wave of people trying out many kinds of Chinese lifestyles online. These lifestyles often include everyday Chinese self-care habits, such as drinking warm water instead of cold drinks; wearing slippers (拖鞋) indoor instead of walking barefoot; eating cooked vegetables rather than raw salad greens; and practising baduanjin slow exercise loved by older people. The reasons lie in the call for a healthier life from young people and the rising charm of China on the global stage. The Global Times noted that the wisdom behind Chinese lifestyles helps people deal with burnout. For example, these cultures stress getting close to nature and keeping a balance between yin and yang. The “Becoming Chinese” trend shows that in a fast-changing world, Chinese lifestyles can bring order, inclusiveness (包容) and calm inside. “Many young people abroad hold a favorable view of China,” said CCTV. This shows China's growing soft power. It means foreigners are changing their minds, from viewing Chinese culture from afar to taking part in it. US tech magazine Wired saw this trend as part of a bigger story. Chinese technology and products have been important in Western life for a long period of time, from Chinese phones and open-source AI models to cultural icons like Labubu. The trend is a natural result of this influence. 38. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is a Chinese self-care habit? A. Drinking cold drinks. B. Walking barefoot indoors. C.

Stop!” he cried. “What is it?” shouted the Squire. “The bridge is broken in the middle,” he answered. “If you go on to it, you are all going to drown in the river.” “Thank God!” said the Squire. “Thank you, Beauty!” said John. We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time no one said anything. Then John said, “Black Beauty saved our lives.
