Dunhuang’s Mogao Caves are world-famous. They hold a large number of old artworks. The caves (洞穴) are full of beautiful wall paintings. However, over the years, they have been in danger because of sand, bad weather and human activities. Thanks to the hard work of Fan Jinshi and her team, we can still enjoy these priceless cultural treasures today.
Fan began working in Dunhuang after she graduated from Peking University. Her job was to study and protect the art. One day, when she was comparing old photos with new ones, she made a surprising discovery. Some caves were completely different, and some old paintings were gone. “Will this happen to all the paintings?” she wondered. Fan made a decision: she had to save them.
Fan’s team did everything they could. They controlled the number of visitors, put doors on the caves, and tried to keep the temperature inside right. However, Fan soon realized that they could only slow down the damage (破坏). They could not stop it completely. In such a terrible natural environment, these caves simply wouldn’t last forever.
It was sad, but Fan did not give up. Her team continued to search for new ways to protect the art. Finally, they decided to use computers to make digital copies of the paintings. This was the start of the “Digital Dunhuang” project. After years of hard work, it went online in 2016. Now, people around the world can enjoy the special art without leaving their homes.
Fan has spent her life researching and protecting this important part of China’s history: “The longer I stay here, the deeper my love grows for Dunhuang,” Fan said. That is exactly why people call her “the daughter of Dunhuang”.

B. Visitors wanted to see the caves online.

Have you ever wanted to eat chocolate but tried to stop yourself? A new study shows that simply imagining eating food may help people eat less.
Researchers found that when people repeatedly imagine eating a certain food, they may lose interest in it. 71 For example, the tenth bite of a chocolate bar may seem less enjoyable than the first.
Carey Morewedge, one of the scientists, explained that the way people imagine food is important. If people only think about how the food smells or tastes, they may want it even more. 72 Doing so may make people want that food less.
73 The people in the study were divided into two groups. One group imagined putting coins into a machine and then eating a small number of chocolates. 74
After the imagining task, all the people were given bowls of chocolates and told they could eat as many as they wanted. The results were interesting. The group that imagined eating many chocolates actually ate fewer chocolates than the other group. 75 It also shows that our mind can influence how much we eat.
A. This idea is called habituation.
B. To test this idea, the team did an experiment.
C. The other group imagined eating many chocolates.
D. Some people may still choose food only by its colour and smell.
E. This shows that imagination may help people control what they eat.
F. Instead, he suggested imagining chewing and swallowing many times.

For many years, people believed that planting trees was a good way to slow climate change. Trees take in carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air and keep it in their bodies. Because of this, many people think planting more trees can help cut down the amount of CO₂ in the air. However, scientists say the situation may not be so simple. Trees can keep carbon (碳) only while they are alive. When trees die, they slowly break down over time, and the carbon goes back into the air again.
In recent years, scientists have noticed something interesting. Trees in many places around the world are growing faster than before. At the same time, scientists noticed the rising level of CO₂ in the air. Roel Brienen, a forest scientist from the University of Leeds in the UK, explained that higher CO₂ levels and warmer temperatures can help trees grow more quickly.
At first, this seems like good news. Faster-growing trees can take in carbon more quickly. But scientists have also found another important fact. Trees that grow very fast often live shorter lives than trees that grow more slowly.
To study this question, Brienen and his team examined more than 210,000 tree-ring records from over 110 tree species in many parts of the world. Their research showed that in most forests, fast-growing trees usually died younger than slow-growing trees.
The team also used a computer program to study what might happen in a forest over time. At first, the forest held more carbon because trees were growing quickly. But about twenty years later, many trees began to die, and the carbon returned to the air again.
Because of this, scientists believe planting trees alone cannot solve the problem of climate change. We still need to stop putting too much CO₂ into the air.
A New Finding About Trees and Climate Change
Traditional View
Planting trees is a good way to slow climate change.
New Finding
Trees 76 carbon forever.
Faster-growing Trees
Trees are growing faster. Higher CO₂ and warmer temperatures may be a 77 .
A Problem Discovered
Fast-growing trees have a 78 lifespan (寿命) than slow-growing ones.
The Result of the Study
The carbon in the air will 79 again when trees start to die.
Conclusion
Besides planting trees, reducing the amount of CO2 is still 80 .

The Magic of Shadows
It is Saturday afternoon in a small town near Xi’an. Wang Weifang and his friends are putting on a special show. The audience can hear them clearly, but they cannot see the artists. That is because the artists stand behind a white screen. They are performing a shadow puppet (皮影) play. This is a traditional Chinese folk art with a long history. Today, it is on UNESCO’s list of intangible (非物质) cultural heritage.
Shadow puppet plays in China started over 2,000 years ago. Artists use light to make shadows on a screen and tell stories. This is one of the earliest kinds of “moving pictures.” It has influenced modern films and cartoons a lot. Sadly, this old art was once in danger of dying out. Artists like Wang don’t want to see that, so they work hard to keep it alive.
Shadow puppets were first made of paper. Later, people used animal skin because it lasts much longer. That is why they are called “piying” in Chinese, which means “skin shadows.” Artists cut the skin into the shapes of people or animals. Then they paint each puppet in bright colors and put it on a stick. Some puppets can even move their arms, legs and eyes.
During the show, Wang and his friends hold the puppets close to the screen. A light shines from behind, so the audience can see the shadows move. The artists also speak for different characters and sing old songs. The audience can hardly take their eyes off the screen.
These days, Wang and his friends try new ways to protect this art. They add modern ideas to old stories. For example, the puppets can even do modern dance moves! This makes people laugh and cheer. They hope more young people will love this traditional art.
