Before the arrival of computers and smartphones, Chinese children grew up with traditional games and outdoor activities.Today, let's look at three popular traditional Chinese games that are still widely loved in modern life. Jianzi originated(起源)from cuju,a ball game,in the Han Dynasty. It is a simple game with just one rule: players must keep the jianzi in the air as long as possible using any part of the body except for the hands. Although the rule is very simple,the game is quite challenging and requires good coordination(协调性). Nowadays, besides being played in school playgrounds,jianzi is also very popular among the elderly. Kongzhu is an hourglass-shaped(沙漏形状的)toy made of wood or bamboo. Kongzhu playing dates back more than 1, 000 years. When playing this game,a player uses a string(线)connected to two hand sticks.The player needs to move the hand sticks up and down to keep the kongzhu spinning(使快速旋转) without letting it fall to the ground. Douququ began in the Tang Dynasty and became popular in the Song Dynasty. It's a sport involving the fights between two crickets(蟋蟀).First,people choose and group(将......分类)crickets according to the size,weight and colour. The two are then placed in a small"battlefield".The cricket owners use straws(麦秆)to encourage their crickets to fight each other. Today, there are still cricket-fighting clubs in some cities. 26.What's the only rule of playing jianzi? ________________________________________________________ 27.What is kongzhu made of?____________________________ 28.How do people choose and group crickets? _______________________________________________________ 29.

On hearing the question, we began to think and 3 .One student said,"I think it is 100g."Another student said,"It's 200g."Our answers were different. 4 ,Mr White explained,"It doesn't only 5 the real weight.It also has 6 to do with the time we hold it. If I hold it for a minute,it is OK.If I hold it for an hour, I will have a pain in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, I will have to see a doctor. It is the exact same weight, 7 the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. This book stands for stress. If you hold it without putting it down,sooner or later,you will not be able to keep on. No matter how much 8 you have, stop and have a rest for a while if possible. Boys and girls, you should learn to 9 yourselves. I am sure you will live a happy school life."

A museum vlogger (博主) named "Shui Xing"has become a big hit on the Internet these days. In her videos, she shows people around the museums across China. The vlogger's real name is Wang Yini. She is a post-95 girl from Jilin Province. She is interested in archaeology(考古学)from an early age. When she was little,her parents often took her to museums. These experiences of visiting museums gave her the idea of studying archaeology when she grew up. Wang started making videos about archaeology in 2020.

This makes it easier for them to understand what I say," she said. Now Wang is a teacher in Liaoning University. She wants to train more talents(人才)in archaeology.
