Passage 1
In some places in China, primary and junior middle school students can now enjoy a spring break. If you could have a spring break, what would you like to do?
I would like to slow down and have a quiet date with spring.
Spring never comes all at once. It paints one leaf green, wakes a flower softly, and sends warm wind to touch my face. During the break, I would like to walk around and look for signs of spring. The roses on the fences (篱笆) may climb higher and higher. I would like to take pictures and keep a small notebook to record these lovely changes. By watching spring grow quietly around me, I might also feel myself growing inside.
Shao Jiaxi. 13. Xi’an Gaoxin No.1 High School.
I would take a trip with my family. We could not only fly kites in the park or have a picnic by the lake, but also enjoy the beautiful spring flowers and listen to the birds sing. I also would like to go back to my hometown and visit my grandparents. I love eating the fresh vegetables they cook for me. Finally, I could read my favorite books and relax at home, which would be a nice break from studying. I hope we can have a spring break one day!
Zhong Xinnuo, 14, Shenzhen Foreign Language School, Guangdong
I would go to my grandma’s house and experience the joy of farming. Early in the morning, I would loosen the soil (松土) and sow (播种) tomato seeds by hand. In the afternoon, I would climb to the roof and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I would see the mountains around the village and the golden rape flowers (油菜花) stretching to the horizon (绵延到天边), dancing in the gentle breeze. After this experience, perhaps I would understand more about how important nature is in our lives.

Passage 4
The Mariana Trench is the deepest known place on Earth, hidden deep in the westernPacific Ocean, about 200 kilometers east of the Mariana Islands. This amazing underwater trench is shaped like a half-moon, reaching about 2,550 kilometers long and only 69 kilometers wide on average. Its deepest point, called Challenger Deep, reaches nearly 11,000 meters below the sea surface— deeper than the height of Mount Everest.
This amazing trench formed millions of years ago because of the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates(地壳板块). The heavy Pacific Plate slides slowly under the smaller MarianaPlate, creating this deep crack on the ocean floor. It is one of the most extreme environments on our planet. The water here is completely dark, with near-freezing temperatures and huge water pressure, which is more than 1,000 times stronger than that at the sea surface.
Surprisingly, life still lives in this harsh place. Scientists have found special deep-sea creatures, such as sea cucumbers, small worms and shrimp, living in the trench. These animals have strong bodies to live under high pressure and in cold, dark water.

Passage 3
① Have you ever argued with your parents about screen time? You’re not alone. Scientists have recently studied the teenage brain and found some surprising answers.
② Using fMRI (功能性磁共振成像) brain scans, researchers discovered that the part of the brain controlling impulses (冲动) — called the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) — is still developing during teenage years. This is like a car with strong gas pedals (油门) but weak brakes (刹车). When you feel angry, your brain reacts quickly, but it takes longer to calm down.
③ The study also found that teenagers need more sleep than adults — about 8 to 10 hours. However, the blue light from phones and computers reduces melatonin (褪黑素), a chemical that helps sleep. Less sleep means less control over emotions the next day. This explains why you might have a bigger fight with your parents after a night. of gaming.
④ But here is the good news. Scientists say these brain changes are actually helpful. The teenage brain is excellent at learning and adapting (适应). Every time you practice calming yourself down, you are strengthening your brain’s “brakes”. This is a gain that comes from the pain of growing up.
