Passage 1
Would you rather live where it snows in winter or enjoy warm sunshine all year round? Some people prefer sunny weather. They think cold winters can be hard—short days make them sleepy and sad. The cold makes them stay inside, exercise less, and get sick easily. However, people in cold places find fun ways to enjoy winter!
In Harbin, China, the Snow and Ice Festival starts in January and lasts until March. Artists cut ice from the Songhua River and build tall sculptures (雕塑) that are lit with colorful lights. By late December, visitors come to see this icy world filled with ice artworks and shining buildings. The beauty surprises them although it's very cold!
In Quebec, Canada, there's an amazing Ice Hotel that is made of 2,300 ice blocks and 15,000 tons of snow! People love staying in its icy rooms for a special winter experience.
Even kids in Sweden can enjoy making snow lanterns called Snölykta. They first make large snowballs, and then put candles inside to create warm lights. These simple lanterns light up the dark winter nights.
These creative traditions show how people turn cold winter challenges into beauty and joy! With imagination, they make winter fun for everyone. Although it's cold, there are so many fun ways to enjoy this special season.

Passage 2
From Tradition to the Modern
Customs and Tradition
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese always put mugwort leaves on doors or windows to make the air fresh and keep flies and other insects away. Mugwort, a kind of plant, is highly valued for its medical use in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Chinese have been making use of herbs (草药) like mugwort to help people improve health or treat illness for thousands of years.
________
Nowadays, we are seeing more interest in TCM especially among the young. ①Influenced by TCM ideas, some young people stop having icy drinks. They accept hot Chinese herbal tea, instead. When people feel ill, some choose to go to TCM hospitals and clinics for treatment. With the spread of TCM, some schools start courses about it. For example, students learn to make joss sticks (线香) with herbs in class. More TCM programs appear on TV and the Internet, which helps people form better living habits.
Ideas and Spirit
In fact, the ideas of Traditional Chinese Medicine are everywhere around us. Following the natural rules can make us healthier. As an old saying goes, "Early to bed, early to rise." TCM also pays more attention to the balance of diet. Different coloured foods are friendly to different parts of the body. White food is good for lungs, red for heart… If a body is like a tree, TCM focuses on its root (根). It aims at keeping the body and mind in harmony (和谐).
Chinese traditions are making a difference to our modern life.

Passage 3

②Some think January is a better time because it's a fun tradition to discuss New Year's resolutions with their family and friends at the start of the year. If you all set (A) them at different times, you won't have the same topic (话题) with others. (2) Besides, the more you put it off, the less possible it is that you'll decide what you really want to do. By the time you've decided, you'll have less time to achieve your goals.
③However, others have different ideas. They think January is always a cold and dark month when teenagers just want to stay indoors. (3) What's more, they should make resolutions any time they want. If they wait a bit longer, they'll have a better idea of what they want to do. One study showed that by the end of January, 20% of the teenagers had failed to stick to their resolutions. So if they are given more time, they won't get discouraged or give up.
④All in all, whether you make resolutions in January or later, please remember they help to make you a better person and to make your life easier. So just be brave to make and keep them!

子主题4 生活中的困难、问题和解决方式
Passage 4
In a village near a desert lived a young and successful businessman, named James. But he often felt unhappy because of the endless challenges he faced.
One day, a wise old man came to the village with 100 camels. James went to see him and said, "I always have business worries, family troubles and health problems. Please tell me how to make them disappear." The old man smiled and said, "I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning. But first, can you do a small thing for me?" James agreed. The old man asked him to take care of the 100 camels for the night, making sure that they all sat down and rested before he could go to sleep.
The next morning, the old man asked James how his night went. James said sadly, "I didn't sleep at all. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get all the camels to sit together. Even if I managed to get some camels to sit on one side, a few others would stand on the other side."
"That's true. As noticed last night, some camels sat down on their own, while others required some effort, and yet many camels did not sit even after lots of effort. If you had come back later, you would have seen that some of the camels, even though they didn't sit at first, finally sat down on their own," the old man said.
James nodded. The old man continued, "Problems are just like camels—some problems get solved by themselves, some get solved when you put in some effort, and some do not get solved even after you have tried your best. Leave such problems to time. At the right time, these problems themselves will come to an end."
James felt a sense of understanding. It completely changed the way he saw life's challenges.

子主题5 人类发明与创新
Passage 5
Nature has many ways to solve problems. We humans learn a lot from animals and plants in nature. There is a science about how we copy great ideas from animals and plants to create helpful products. It is called biomimetics (仿生学).
Some animals such as this sugar glider have wing-like structures (结构) to help them fly from tree to tree. When they jump, they spread out their arms and legs to help them fly down easily. Wing-suits, a kind of clothes, can let people experience flying. The idea of these clothes comes from the sugar glider.
Some animals have structures used for self-protection. An armadillo has a hard cover that can protect it from other dangerous animals. When an armadillo feels that it is in danger, it will change into a ball. Once the dangerous animal goes away, it comes out of the ball. The armadillo has taught people to create a backpack with a hard surface. The surface of the backpack protects things inside from being broken.
Plants have helped people come up with amazing inventions, too. Perhaps the best-known example is Velcro (尼龙搭扣). It includes two pieces of cloth. They stick to each other when they are pressed together. Velcro is used on everything from handbags to clothes. The idea of Velcro is from burrs (带芒刺的小果实) of a plant. They have special structures to allow themselves to stick to people's clothing or hair. They are taken to other places in this way.
From these examples, we can see biomimetics is widely used in our daily life. What other problems will nature help us solve in the future? Let's wait and see!
1、2题完成句子;3-5题简略回答问题。
