题材:睡眠时大脑可自主学习 难度:★★★建议用时:6 mins
If you put your history notes under your pillow( 枕 头 )and sleep on them the night before an exam, will you do any better in the exam?Most of us hope this can help.However,knowledge can't go through the pillow into your brain.But that doesn't mean you can't learn while you are asleep(睡着的) .
Scientists aren't exactly sure how it works,but they discover that brains can learn things during
sleeping hours.
In one experiment, scientists gave German speakers some Dutch(荷兰语的)words to learn. Then, they divided them into three groups.The scientists played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep.But they didn't tell these German speakers what they were doing.The sound was low so it didn't wake them up.
Another group listened to the same words while they were awake.The scientists found the people in Group 1 were better able to understand and translate the words later.This was true only for the words that the scientists played while they were sleeping.The third group listened to the words when they walked.The walkers didn't have the same success in remembering the words as those in the sleeping

The scientists later found that people had more slow-wave brain activities( 慢 波 脑 电 活 动 ) all night .They said that more slow waves made people have a better memory for the new words.

题材:爬山与语言学习有相似之处 难度:★★★★建议用时:7 mins
Climbing a mountain is no easy task—every step needs effort,and there are times you might feel tired. But if you keep moving forward,stopping now and then to look around,something wonderful will happen. The higher you climb,the more breathtaking( 令人惊叹的)the views become.The trees,the valleys, and even the sky start to look different,clearer and more vast(辽阔的) .When you reach the top, youllstand there with a whole new understanding of the world around you—like seeing everything through a fresh pair of eyes.
Learning a foreign language is something like climbing a mountain.It's not just about memorizing words or grammar rules;it's a way to open a new door to life.When you learn a language,you don't just learn to talk—you start to understand the thoughts,feelings,and daily lives of people from other cultures. This kind of richness isn't something you can buy with money;instead,it's a treasure that stays with you.Even though( 即 使 )you never set foot on a ship or a plane,you can be an armchair traveler through books.
The mountain climber doesn't rush all the way up—they stop to enjoy the views along the path.

题材:数字通信影响人们的口头表达能力 难度:★★★ 建议用时:6 mins
With the development of the internet,we found that more and more people's verbal( 口头的)skills are getting worse,including our classmates,friends and parents. 1
Many people think that using internet slang ( 俚语)too much is the main reason. For example, if we use “666”to show we're surprised,it's hard to tell others how shocked we are.That is because when we use the same expression to express ifferent meanings, we cannot express our thoughts exactly( 确 切
4
学科网(北京)股份有限公司
地 ). 2 To improve this situation,we should use exact words to express our ideas and feelings more
often.
Another important reason could be that we hardly check before texting or speaking.The world of digital communication( 数 字 通 信 ) makes it easier for us to communicate with others. 3 As a result, when talking face to face,we might have trouble expressing what’s in our minds.
4 First,we should use exact words to express our feelings more often.Second,we need to take digital communication seriously and think carefully about what we want to say.We should be responsible for every word we text or say.Besides,it is important to keep speaking verbally.
All in all,digital communication has both advantages and disadvantages. 5 We shouldn't depend on( 依 赖 )digital communication too much. Instead, we should take an active part in face-to-face conversations.This helps us practice speaking, better understand others'feelings and build up closer relationships with others.
A.We should keep this in mind.
B.But this makes us less careful with our words.
C.So this will have an effect on our verbal skills.
D.It's hard for them to express themselves clearly.
E.After knowing the reasons,how can we solve this problem?

What's the hottest street snack in China right now?It's milk skin tanghulu (奶皮子糖葫芦)! From Beijing to Shanghai,people line up at small stores just to taste it.“We came all the way here,” said three students waiting in line.“We saw it online.It looks so decilious.We can't wait to try it!”
Tanghulu has a long history.In the Song Dynasty, the emperor's favorite concubine( 妃 子 )grew very sick.She didn't feel like eating anything.The emperor worried for three days.No medicine seemed to help until a doctor suggested,“Eat hawthorn berries( 山 楂 果 )cooked with sugar.Eat five to ten before each meal.”She tried it,and after a few weeks,her face turned pink again.Soon,tanghulu appeared on the streets and people sold it as a sweet snack for everyone to enjoy.
Now, the new kind of tanghulu adds cream.The cook cooks the sugar until it bubbles( 起泡) . Then, the seller rolls the fruit through the hot syrup(糖浆) .With a quick tap-pop,— the tanghulu hits a piece of milk skin and sticks to it.

题材:父亲的“冷藏室”难度:★★★★ 建议用时:7 mins
Food—its finding,collecting,saving and cooking—is always a“THING” in my family.
We had a food bank called the“Cold Room”when I was a child.My dad built it with great care.
It was a small room,with a big fridge,usually filled with a side of beef,a whole pig,and different snacks.
But the best was the homemade vegetable boxes for the long winter.My dad stored them in a material .But later we found out the material was bad for our health.I often wonder how much of the bad dust(粉尘)I breathed in while digging for the last carrot or potato in the spring.
August was the busiest time of the year when the garden produced the most food.As the eldest child,I didn’'t like August because I always had to pick and prepare everything.There was always something to clean or peel.And they always had boxes of fruits brought to me to fill our food bottles.I kept the seeds for carrots,tomatoes and lettuce,year to year.
Later, I realized that this whole“food obsession ” was because my dad knew childhood hunger(饥 饿 ) .His family was very poor.My dad often went to the market to beg( 乞 讨 )for food when he was a child.From then on,my dad decided that he would never let his own family face the hunger he once had.So he liked to store food in his whole life.
A few summers ago,a visitor asked me,“Do you always have that much food in your fridge?”I was
8

surprised but answered,“Yes,always.”Now, it's August again.My fridge is full of fresh produce.
The apple hasn’t fallen far from the family tree.My habit of storing food was similar to my father’s.In fact,it has grown into a few roots.
()1.What does the“Cold Rom”stand for in the writer's memory?
A.A sign of the busiest season. B.A symbol of careful planning.
C.A turning point of childhood fun. D.A place of family history.
()2.What problem did the homemade vegetable boxes have?
A.They were too small to store vegetables.
B.They let in too much cold air in the winters.

()3.What does the underlined word“obsession”in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Love. B.Memory. C.Safety. D.Service.

outgoings.

题材:50/30/20理财法 难度:★★建议用时:6mins
Suppose you had 15,000 yuan every year,how much ofit would you spend?And how much money would you save?
Perhaps you should try the 50/30/20 method. 1 It tells you exactly how much to put towards your savings and how much to put towards your living costs.
According to the 50/30/20 method, you should divide your money into three groups:50%for “needs”,30%for“ wants”,and 20%for“savings”.
“Needs”refers to the bills that you must pay and the things necessary for everyday life. 2
These are “must-haves”. If you have to spend more than 50%of your money on your“needs”,you may need to change your lifestyle. 3
“Wants” refers to unnecessary costs. You choose to spend your money on these things, but you could live without them if you had to. 4 You can watch sports on TV instead of getting tickets to the game.You can continue using your three-year-old bag.
Finally,you need to save 20%of your money every month. 5 You never know when you may
lose your job or when an accident may take place.
Try the 50/30/20 method.It will help you to lead a happy life.
A.Savings are important.
B.You can work out at home instead of going shopping.
C.It is one of the most useful and simple methods around.
D.For example,you may consider cooking at home rather than(而不是)eating out.
E.Examples include electricity and gas bills,transportation and everyday products(产品).

题材:选择产品品牌名指南 难度:★★★★建议用时:8 mins
OK,so imagine you thought of a product to make and sell—a game,or an app,or some clothes for example.You know you can sell millions of them,but first of all,you must give the product a name—a brand name.And that may not be as easy as you think.
The brand name is the thing that makes your product stand out from all the others.Businesses spend a lot of time thinking about brand names.When the companies pick the name,it's very difficult to change.So companies have to get it right first time.
So how do you choose a name?A brand name should be special,memorable and easy to understand. It should create some kind of emotional connection( 情感连接)with people who buy the product. Some companies use the family name.When Henry Ford started making cars,he just called the company Ford.Some companies use wordplay.It' s a common way for naming apps,such as WhatsApp (from the English expression What's up?).But what do you have to be careful about?Well,you shouldn't choose a name that may not work in certain countries or cultures.Many years ago,a car company produced a new car that they called Nova.They thought it suggested something nice and new. But in Spanish it can be read as no va(“it doesn't go”).Not a good name for a car in Spain!
These days,the choice of brand name is quite important if your product is aimed at( 瞄 准 )teenage market.A teacher in an American high school said,“Teenagers won't buy something that's almost the same or cheaper—just because they feel they must wear something with the right logo instead of one that looks similar.”
Companies know that the name isn't everything—the product itself has to be good,of course—it is the most important part of the whole package.
1.Why is it important for companies to choose the right brand name the first time?
2.What are the qualities a good brand name should have?
3.What should you pay attention to when naming a product?
4.What do teenagers care about according to the American high school teacher?
5.If you need to create a new brand name for a schoolbag,what name will you choose and why?

题材:地下室惊魂夜 难度:★★★ 建议用时:6 mins
My friend helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in a basement( 地 下 室 ), where I lived.Then,I finally climbed into bed at 1:20 in the morning.
Earlier in the day,I was preparing for the possible flood.We were living near the Ahr River.It went on raining heavily that week and the goverment sent out a flood warning,although it was not for where I was. However,I put sand bags on the floor outside my garden door.“Silly brother!” My friends laughed at me for doing that.But I thought,why take a chance?
AsI was sleeping,I was woken( 被 吵 醒 )by the sound of rushing water.It sounded like lying beside a waterfall.When I got out of the bedroom,I saw water shooting through the bottom of the door.
I knew I had to get out fast!Without shoes,I started to make my way to the only escape:the door leading upstairs to the main floor.Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to pull it open even just a littlebit,but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open.There was a stick in the corner.I took it and,once again,opened the door,throwing it between the door and the frame(门 框 )to keep the door open.Finally,I managed to go through and made it into the living room.
I jumped onto the stairs and ran outside.I stood there in the darkness,wet through. The street was once lovely full of people and cars,but now it was like a water pool with floating things.The river drowned( 淹 没 )the community!

题 材 :水 银 温 度 计 退 出 历 史 舞 台 难 度 :★★★ 建议用时:7 mins
China has stopped making mercury thermometers( 水 银 温 度 计 ) starting from January 1,2026, according to an official notice.This news drew much attention,and it means the end of a common household medical tool that has helped families for many years.
Mercury thermometers have their advantages.They are cheap,often costing only a few yuan,and very accurate—their error( 误 差 )is only ±0.1℃. This helps people check if they have a fever. Many people also like them because they can be used for a long time if stored carefully.However,we can't
15
学科网(北京)股份有限公司
ignore their danger.The mercury inside is a harmful heavy metal.It can cause long-term health problems,especially for children's and pregnant women's nervous systems.If the glass breaks,mercury turns into small balls that change into gas quickly.This gas is harmful—it can damage health and pollute the environment for a long time. This ban( 禁 令 )is part of China's efforts to protect the environment.
There's no need to worry about what to use.Modern choices,such as electronic thermometers and ear thermometers,are safe and easy to use. They use infrared technology(红外技术)to take temperature from a distance and give results in seconds.They work well for daily use.
Some people are buying more mercury thermometers,but it's not necessary.Stores will still sell the ones they already have for some time.But if we keep them at home,it will only increase the risk of mercury leakage(泄漏) .It's smarter to choose safer thermometers.
Saying goodbye to mercury thermometers is not a loss but progress.This change shows that we are paying more and more attention to health and the environment.Let's welcome these new tools for a safer
future.
()1. What is the advantage of mercury thermometers according to Paragraph 2?
A.They don't need electricity to work. B.They are convenient to use.

()2.What does the underlined word“ignore”in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Take care of. B.Make use of.
C.Be stuck in. D.Pay no attention to.
()3.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To offer practical advice on how to use new thermometers.
B.To show the rapid development of our country.
C.To express a positive attitude toward the ban and look forward to the future.
D.To warn people of the danger of storing mercury thermometers.

Smokejumpers are special firefighters.Some fires are in hard-to-reach areas,such as in the middle of a mountain forest. These firefighters jump( 跳 )from planes or are lowered into those areas by helicopter(直升机).
When they arrive,smokejumpers first check the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main task is to prevent the fire from spreading until other firefighters arrive.Smokejumpers use shovels or axes ( 斧 子 )to clear the land of burnable things,like dry grass and dead trees.They carry water with them too,but not a lot.

"No print,no year"is a well-known saying in Suzhou,Jiangsu province. The “print” here means Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Prints( 桃花坞木版年画),a special kind of nianhua,or New Year pictures. One of its inheritors(继承人) ,Sun Yibo,has worked on Taohuawu Prints for over 20 years.
“Though regarded as a kind of nianhua,Taohuawu Prints not only show the traditional pictures, such as menshen(door gods),flowers and birds," said Sun. “To keep the traditional craft alive,artists now also choose themes from popular culture,like games and films.”
Such rich themes also mean difficult steps.To make a woodblock New Year picture,artists need to draw the draft ( 草稿) ,carve it on different blocks and then make the prints one by one on paper.“Each woodblock New Year picture follows the‘one color on one carved block’rule and is made with the colors printed on top of each other,"explained Sun.“How many blocks are needed for a picture?It depends on how many colors there are in the picture.One picture comes from at least two blocks.”
However,getting the right color on the block is never easy.Sun said that when he made a woodblock New Year picture,he printed and adjusted each color block more than 100 times to get the perfect look.
23

“Wu-BOT”is more than just a show.It shows that Chinese robots are becoming faster,stronger,and

AI is playing a more and more important role in education these days.It brings a new teaching and learning method for teachers and students,and it makes education more personalized(个性化的)and efficient.
For students,AI can provide personalized learning plans.Every student has different learning levels and habits.AI can collect students'study data and find out their weak points.Then it makes a special learning plan for each student.For example,if a student is weak in math geometry( 几何),AI will give him more geometry exercises and video lessons.Students can learn at their own speed and improve their weak points quickly.
AI also makes learning more interesting. Many AI learning apps have fun games and interactive( 互 动的)lessons.Students can learn English words by playing games,and learn science knowledge by doing interactive experiments.This makes students love learning and study more actively.
For teachers,AI can help them with their work.It can correct students'homework quickly, especially objective questions(客观题)like multiple choices and fill-in-the-blanks.This saves teachers a lot of time,and they can use the time to talk with students and help them solve more difficult problems.AI can also study students'exam results and tel l teachers which parts students need to improve.

Grandma began patiently.She showed me 2 to press the dough( 面 团 )into a round shape and put the filling(馅料)in the middle. Then, she folded it and pressed the edges( 边 缘 )together.In just a few seconds,she made a perfect dumpling.“Your 3 ,"she said kindly.

Did you ever wonder why we say maidongxi instead of mainanbei, and shangcesuo rather than xiacesuo? These directional words in Chinese are very interesting.They are not only about giving directions but also carry a wealth of history and culture.
East/west or south/north
One thought says that in the Tang Dynasty,when shopping,people in Chang'an usually went to the East Market first,then to the West Market.Gradually,people started to describe shopping as maidongxi.
Left or right
In Chinese,we say yijian xiangzuo when we have different opinions.Why is it not yijian xiangyou?
Most people today are right-handed.They will feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well.In ancient Chinese,“left”was related to being different,such as in yiian xiangzuo.If people don't accept most people's opinions or always use some non-traditional ways to achieve a goal or solve problems,we say they are following pangmenzuodao.
32
学科网(北京)股份有限公司
Up or down
We use shangcesuo to mean“go to the bathroom”and xiachufang to mean“go to the kitchen”.
Why?In ancient times,houses were laid out in a certain way.The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the notheastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part.On a map,north is usually at the top while south is at the bottom.In Chinese,we talk about north as shang and the south as xia.Therefore,people would say they were going“up”to the bathroom and“down”to the kitchen.
These directional words help us find our way and get a glimpse into the interesting history and culture of ancient China as well.Next time you use them,maybe you can think about the special meanings behind them and make your conversations much more fun.

Guangdong,a province in southern China,is known for its rich cultural traditions.However,a recent survey showed that over 40%of young people in Guangdong knew litle about their local cultural heritage(遗产) .This worrying situation caught the attention of cultural experts and educators.
▲ Cantonese opera,with its history of over 300 years,was once very popular. But now,fewer young people are learning this art form.The same is true for other traditions like paper-cut,lion dance,

and Guangdong embroidery.
To solve this problem,schools in Guangdong start using multi-modal approaches(多模态方法)to teach traditional culture.Students don’t just read about these traditions—they experience them through videos,virtual eality,and hands-on activities.In one Guangzhou middle school,students created a digital museum of Cantonese opera.They recorded performances,interviewed artists,and made 3D models of traditional costumes(服饰).
This approach combines different subjects.In history classes,students learn about the development of these traditions. In art classes,they practice traditional skill like paper-cut.Even in science classes, they explore the chemistry behind traditional dyeing techniques( 染 色 工 艺 ) used in Guangdong embroidery.
The results are encouraging.According to a recent report,students'interest in traditional culture has increased by 35%since schools introduced these methods.“I thought Cantonese opera was boring before,"says Li Ming,a 14-year-old student.“But after trying the VR experience and making my own digital opera character,I find it fascinating.”
Cultural experts think that mixing tradition with modern technology is the key to protecting our culture.As Dr.Chen,a cultural researcher,notes,“We’re not changing the traditions—were finding new ways to make them meaningful to young people."
