We asked some students to share their feelings about the rapid changes and development of China and here are two students’ answers online: A few months ago, our school organized a visit to the China International Import Expo. In the 5G hall, I was by how quickly people could download videos. It took just seconds. It was amazing! I also saw a robot with sensors (感应器) in all parts of its body. With the help of 5G technology, the robot can do the same things as people do. I hope I can create something like 5G. Yu Mingke, 13, Chenjinglun High School, Beijing People love to travel. In the 1970s, anyone who was lucky enough to have a bicycle would be the envy (羡慕的对象) of others. Then, green trains came out, but they ran at a speed of 50 km per hour. By the 2010s, the speed of China’s fastest trains had risen to 350 km per hour. As for my mom, she had her first train trip when she was 17. But now children at my age can visit many places thanks to the highly developed transportation network. I have visited Beijing, Wuhan and Xiamen so far.

B For student Chen Honghan, the journey to school has changed from a treacherous 3-hour walk to a safe thirty-minute trip that feels like flying through the clouds, thanks to the “cloud school bus”. Chen comes from Nizhuhe Village located at the border of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. For years, Chen and her classmates walked on muddy routes to reach their school high on the top of the cliffs (悬崖). However, this challenging journey has now changed into a wonderful tour. They first take a 6-minute scenic bus ride and then take a lift that climbs 268 metres. Next, they take a cable car ride that climbs over 200 metres. After a 1-kilometre walk, they arrive at the school in just under 30 minutes. The change began with the introduction of the eco-cultural tourism in 2017. The project helped build a cliffside lift in 2018 and a cable car in 2022. They were made free for the villagers there. The “cloud school bus” not only safely sends the village children to school but also attracts many tourists to the area. In 2024, 300,000 visitors came, bringing in the profit of nearly 20 million yuan.This also has improved villagers’ lives, with many starting businesses like farmstays,coffee shops and guest houses. Additionally, some villagers have returned to their hometowns to contribute to this growth. Cai Xiong is one of them who led many amazing projects like the cliffside lift. “This tourism project is not only meant to help the villagers succeed, but also to serve as a‘ladder to the clouds’ for the children. I hope they will climb this ladder, gain experience and grow, and finally return with the skills to make their hometown even better,” he said. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 ( ) 6.

C The way younger people think about spending money and their lifestyle is changing. A new idea called “reverse consumption” has appeared. This means people are no longer buying expensive things like brand-name bags or clothes. Instead, they care more about getting good value for their money. Reverse consumption encourages people not to waste. Unlike traditional buying habits, it refuses to keep buying new products, and pays more attention to the quality of products. This idea has become popular with younger people and has influenced their buying decisions. This change in spending habits shows that young people care about different things in life now. Many young people are starting to realize that having lots of material goods doesn’t bring true happiness.

This new way of thinking helps young people notice bigger problems like pollution and climate change. They know that wasteful spending can harm the environment,causing plenty of unnecessary waste and pollution, so they are trying to reduce their influence on the environment. It is changing what people do and making the world different. In addition, the idea of reverse consumption is also bringing changes in society. Companies are being pushed to take social and environmental responsibilities (责任) more seriously, and to think more about social interests when designing and making things.

Young people are caring more about inner happiness and finding more meaning in life through this new way of spending money. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 ( ) 11.
