During lunch break, Lucy decided to write a note to Alice: “I miss our chats. Did I do anything wrong? Let’s talk after school.” She put it into Alice’s pencil case. When Alice found the note in her pencil case, she read it carefully and realized she had misunderstood (误解) Lucy. Earlier that week, Alice saw Lucy talking to another classmate and thought Lucy was sharing her secret. After school, they met under the old oak tree near the playground. Autumn leaves fell down under their feet. “I thought you told others about my birthday surprise,” Alice said. Lucy explained, “I was actually asking for advice on your gift! I know your favorite colors are blue and silver. I just wanted your gift to be perfect.” Alice’s face turned red and tears filled her eyes. “I’m so sorry! I just...” Her voice sounds a little bit strange. Lucy hugged her tightly. “Never! But next time, just ask me, okay?” Then they promised each other to communicate openly next time. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Lucy asked. “I was afraid of losing you,” Alice said. The girls walked home together, their laughter mixing with rustling (沙沙作响的) leaves. From that day, they promised to share their feelings first.

Tell me why!” Have you found yourself listening to “ancient people” online recently? Creative vloggers (视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu “back to life” These videos have become popular, showing these ancient people speaking in modern language. In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion (755-763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles, like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still staying up late. “The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people, such as Wen Zhengming and Tang Bohu. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong. The new trend (趋势) isn’t for everyone, however. The way these ancient people speak, in high tones and always asking questions, annoys some people. “They’re too pushy (压迫感), which is different from how they really were,” explained 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu. Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the same. But he was surprised to find that he remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements. These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people “speak for themselves”. However. “we should be careful with these videos, making sure they are not sharing fake information,” noted Nanfang Daily. 9. What are creative vloggers using AI for? A. Making modern stars act like ancients. B. Helping students with homework. C. Bringing ancient people “back to life”. D. Creating new historical movies. 10. What does Wang Jiayi think of the AI videos? A. They make history boring. B. They are too pushy. C. They share fake information. D. They help her learn about ancients. 11. What does the underlined word “annoys” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Makes someone happy. B. Makes someone angry. C. Makes someone interested. D. Makes someone feel different. 12. According to Nanfang Daily, what should we do when we watch these videos? A. Watch out for fake information. B. Check the creators of the videos. C. Pay attention to the speaking style. D. Copy the way ancient people speak. D On March 28-29, 2026, a Chinese motorcycle brand called “Zhang Xue Motor” won two races at the World Superbike Championship (世界超级摩托锦标赛) in Portugal. This was the first time a Chinese brand won this top-level race, breaking the long monopoly (垄断) of European and Japanese brands. The man behind this success is 39-year-old Zhang Xue. Zhang’s road to success was full of challenges. He left school at 14 and worked as a repair apprentice (学徒). At 19, he once rode an old motorcycle over 100 kilometers in the cold rain just to ask a TV crew (电视摄影组) to film him. He hoped a racing team would notice him. His dream came true, but later, a serious injury ended his career as a rider. Many people might give up, but Zhang did not. He said, “If I can’t ride the fastest bike, I’ll build one.” He moved to Chongqing, known as China’s “motorcycle capital”, and started his own company in 2024. He worked day and night to make the motorbike lighter and the engine stronger. The result was the 820RR-RS. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.81 seconds. More importantly, it is 100% Chinese-made. After winning, Zhang said, “I’ve waited 20 years for this moment.” His story shows that hard work and a never-give-up attitude can make any dream possible. 13. When did Zhang Xue Motor win the championship? A. In March 2025. B. In March 2026. C. In April 2026. D. In May 2026. 14. What happened to Zhang Xue after he became a professional rider? A.

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. “Zhang Xue Motor” won the race in Portugal. B. The 820RR-RS can reach 100 km/h in 2.81 seconds. C. Zhang started his company before he moved to Chongqing. D. Zhang worked as a repair apprentice at the age of 14. 16. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To explain how to fix a motorcycle.
