Among all types of paper, Xuan paper has earned a special place in Chinese culture. The history of Xuan paper dates back to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, paper was produced in Xuancheng, Jingxian, Ningguo and Taiping. They were counties (县) under the jurisdiction (管辖范围) of Xuanzhou. Among them, the paper made in Jingxian was the best for its excellent qualities. Since most paper distribution (分发) centers were in Xuancheng, the paper was then known as Xuan paper.
Xuan paper is made from the bark (树皮) of the blue sandalwood (檀香木) tree and rice straw. The process of making it includes many procedures like washing, boiling, and drying. Each step needs a lot of time and care. The final product is soft, thin but strong. It doesn’t tear (扯破) easily and can take in a lot of ink. Because of these qualities, Xuan paper has been loved by painters and calligraphers. It helps them fully express their creative ideas and feelings.
Xuan paper is not only a material for art but also a cultural symbol. It represents the rich heritage (遗产) of the arts in Chinese history. Even in today’s modern world, Xuan paper continues to hold an important position in Chinese art and cultural traditions.

Portimão, Portugal – In March 2026, French rider Valentin Debise made motorsport history by winning two victories at the World Supersport Championship. Riding a ZXMOTO motorcycle (张雪机车) , he became the first rider to win top prizes in this world-famous race for a Chinese maker, a moment that surprised the whole global motorsport industry.
For many years, the top level of international motorcycle racing has been controlled by strong brands from Europe, America and Japan. Japanese famous brands Yamaha and Kawasaki, together with well-known European brand Ducati, have long kept an unbreakable control in this field. ZXMOTO’s important success has finally broken this long-time control, starting a new chapter for Chinese motorcycle making on the global racing stage.
The founder of ZXMOTO is Zhang Xue, a lifelong motorcycle lover from Hunan, China. He started as a motorcycle repair trainee at 14 and got rich professional experience through years of hard learning and practice. In 2017, he helped set up KOVE, another famous Chinese motorcycle brand, and led it to get great results at the Dakar Rally. In 2024, he started ZXMOTO by himself, keeping to an independent research and development plan and refusing to depend too much on foreign technologies.
This victory is more than a great sporting success. It is a strong proof of the rising strength of Chinese manufacturing and home-made innovation (创新) . It shows that with true passion, firm determination and independent core (核心) technology, Chinese brands can develop world-class racing bikes, help top international riders compete at the highest level, and stand equally among the world’s top motorcycle makers.

AI-made short dramas have become very popular on short-video apps in the past year. Unlike traditional small dramas that need actors, cameras, studios and weeks of filming, these AI short dramas can be made by one person in just a few hours with simple AI tools. You only need to type a story idea, and AI will write the script (剧本) , make virtual characters, create scenes, add voices and even edit the whole video by itself.
Many creators like AI dramas because they cost little and are made fast. A team of three once made 80 episodes (集) of an AI history drama with only 3,000 yuan, and it got over 500 million views online. For common people with no filming experience, AI makes their story dreams come true easily. It also lets small content teams make more works in less time, opening a new door for online fun.
However, there are serious problems behind the fast growth. Most AI short dramas have the same repetitive stories—rich-poor reversal (反转), love revenge (复仇), fantasy magic—with no deep ideas or creative plots. AI often makes logical mistakes: characters' faces change suddenly, actions don't match lines, and scenes are not the same all the time. What's worse, many AI dramas use misleading or even bad content to get clicks, such as untrue history, violence and wrong values, which misleads young viewers a lot.
Another big worry is that AI may take away jobs. Professional (职业的) actors, directors, editors and screenwriters are getting less work as more companies turn to cheap AI production. Some people also become too addicted to watching these fast, simple AI dramas, losing interest in reading books or watching high-quality films and shows.
Experts say AI short dramas are not good or bad themselves. They are a new tool. What matters is how we use and control them. Platforms should check AI dramas strictly to stop bad content. Creators should add human creativity instead of just copying AI outputs. And viewers, especially teenagers, should choose meaningful works and control their watching time. Only in this way can AI short dramas develop healthily and bring real fun to people.
( ) 12. What can we learn from the example in Paragraph 2?
A. AI dramas are always popular with viewers.
B. Making AI dramas needs a big team.
C. AI helps ordinary people create works easily.
D. Traditional micro-dramas will disappear soon.
( ) 13. What does the underlined word “repetitive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.新颖的
B.重复的
C.精彩的
D.复杂的
( ) 14. Which is NOT a problem of AI short dramas according to the passage?
A. Logical mistakes in videos.
B. Misleading and bad content.
C. High cost for small teams.
D. Taking jobs from professionals.
( ) 15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How to make popular AI short dramas
B. The development of AI video technology
C. Advantages, problems and suggestions on AI short dramas
D. Why AI short dramas are popular among teenagers

Use words with proper meanings and grammatical rules to fill the blanks and answer the questions.
Four years after graduating, Luo Jiajia, 36, answered an inner calling to lead a more meaningful life. She noticed that environmental problems were becoming more serious, but people were taking little action. She decided to do something.
Luo works for the China Green Foundation (CGF)—an NGO that promotes reforestation (在造林) and encourages people to take part in environmental protection in China. It’s also active in the international community.
Luo’s main work concerns the Million Forest project. Having started 10 years ago, the goal of the project is to plant 1 million trees in the Tengger Desert, China’s fourth-largest desert in Inner Mongolia. Luo helps support the project by brainstorming different fundraising (筹资) activities and organizing events.
The project has brought many benefits to local communities. Without the project, many locals would have been forced to leave their homes as eco-refugees (生态移民) . Luo’s project has also helped to provide jobs for locals. Eco-tourism has been more popular because these areas have become an oasis (绿洲) in the desert.
Although her project helps with reforestation efforts, the team discovered that it was just as important to change people’s attitudes. Million Forest changed its slogan to, “Plant a tree in your heart.” Commenting on the change, Luo said, “It’s not possible for you to plant a tree every day, but if you have a tree in your heart then you can take care of the whole environment. If we make the effort to change the inside, we will change the outside world too.”
