It marks the final day of the Chinese New Year celebrations. On this day, people hang colorful lanterns in the streets and parks, creating a magical atmosphere. A highlight of the festival is guessing lantern riddles — people write riddles on paper slips and attach them to lanterns. Visitors who solve a riddle can receive a small prize. Families also gather to eat tangyuan, sweet glutinous rice balls that symbolize reunion. In many cities, grand lantern exhibitions are held, attracting thousands of visitors. In addition, performances like dragon dances and stilt walking add to the festive mood.

B Teenagers today face increasing pressure from schoolwork and social life. Recent research shows that regular physical activity can significantly reduce stress levels. Exercise helps release endorphins — chemicals in the brain that act as natural painkillers and mood elevators. Even a 30-minute walk after school can make a difference. However, many high school students struggle to find time for sports. With heavy homework loads, most students spend their after-school hours studying indoors. This sedentary lifestyle may lead to long-term health issues, including obesity and depression. Health experts recommend that schools encourage daily exercise and provide more opportunities for students to participate in sports activities. Forming good exercise habits in youth can have lifelong benefits. 4.According to the text, what can regular physical activity do for teenagers?（  ） A.Improve their test scores directly.B.Reduce their stress levels. C.Make them more popular.D.Increase their homework efficiency. 5.What is a barrier for teenagers to exercise regularly?（  ） A.Lack of sports facilities.B.Heavy homework loads.C.Bad weather.D.High cost of equipment. C Scientists have long studied the effect of music on the human brain. Recent findings suggest that playing a musical instrument can actually change the structure and function of the brain. MRI scans show that musicians tend to have larger areas of the brain responsible for motor control, hearing, and emotional processing. Interestingly, the earlier a person starts learning an instrument, the more significant the changes. Even listening to music has positive effects — it can reduce anxiety and improve memory recall. Some hospitals have introduced music therapy programs for patients recovering from strokes. Though more research is needed, these findings provide strong evidence that music has profound effects on our minds. 6.What effect does playing a musical instrument have on the brain?（  ） A.It damages brain cells over time. B.It can change the brain's structure and function. C.It only affects emotional processing. D.It has no measurable effect. 7.How has the research been applied practically?（  ） A.All schools require music lessons.B.Hospitals use music therapy for patients. C.Musicians can now avoid brain injuries.D.Music is banned in some treatment centers. D Community gardens are becoming increasingly popular in urban areas around the world. On vacant lots and rooftops, city residents plant vegetables, flowers, and herbs together. These gardens provide more than just fresh produce — they create a sense of community among neighbors. People share gardening tips, harvests, and even meals made from the ingredients they grow together. Research shows that community gardening can reduce stress and improve mental well-being. Additionally, gardens help the environment by increasing green space, reducing urban heat, and providing habitats for pollinators like bees and butterflies. Some community gardens also donate extra produce to local food banks, helping those in need. 8.What is a benefit of community gardens mentioned in the text?（  ） A.Creating a sense of community.B.Increasing property taxes. C.Reducing the need for supermarkets.D.Lowering water usage in cities. 9.How do community gardens help the environment?（  ） A.By replacing city parks.B.By increasing green space and supporting pollinators.C.By building more parking lots.D.By clearing forests for farming. 10.What do some community gardens do with extra produce?（  ） A.Throw it away.B.Sell it at high prices.
