If you search for “A Bei Bei” on Chinese social media, you’ll see photos of old, worn items like broken blankets(破毯子), torn toy bears, or baby clothes. Though they look ready to be thrown away, these objects are actually precious to their owners. Many people have kept them for over ten years because they bring comfort and happy memories.
The name “A Bei Bei” began when a mother shared her son’s nickname (绰号) for his favorite blanket. Such items are called “transitional (过渡的) objects.” These help children feel safe when facing new situations, like their first day at school.
While most children stop needing these items as they grow up, many Chinese adults still keep them as“A Bei Bei.” On social media, people aged 20 to 30 post photos of childhood toys or blankets with funny words: “I’m 25 and still hug my A Bei Bei every night!”
Why do people keep these old items? They are like time machines. A toy animal might remind someone of bedtime stories with grandparents. A blanket could carry memories of family trips. For busy young adults, “A Bei Bei” is a warm friend supporting (支持) them in a stressful world.
This trend(潮流) has touched millions. On Xiaohongshu, a popular app, the “A Bei Bei” topic has more than 670,000 posts. Users share stories about their lifelong “friends”. One wrote, “My ‘A Bei Bei’ still smells like my childhood home. Holding it helps me sleep.”
( )5. What does the underlined word “precious” mean?
A. boring B. stupid C. important D. expensive
( )6.When do 20 to 30-year-olds mainly hug “A Bei Bei”?
A. In the morning. B. At noon. C. In the afternoon. D. At night.
( )7. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. “Transitional items” are not able to help children feel safe on the first day at school.
B. All the children stop needing these “transitional items” as they grow up.
C. Adults keep their “A Bei Bei” for emotional support in a stressful world.
D. There are 670,000 posts on Xiaohongshu about users’ stories with lifelong “friends”.
( )8. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Old items bring comfort.
B. Throw away old things.
C. Buy new toys for kids.
D. Follow fashion trends.
(C)
Chinese culture has great charm (魅力) for people both at home and abroad. We have seen many people around the world show their love for Chinese culture. A growing number of foreigners have even chosen to live in China for its culture.
Canadian artist Brandon is interested in Chinese classics. He shows his understanding of A Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin and Chinese poems through thousands of paintings. He has created more than 4,200 paintings. Brandon first came to Nanchang in 2015 to study ancient Chinese classics and has lived alone there since then.
“So far, I have read the novel three times, translated (翻译) most of its poems and songs into English, and accomplished (完成) over 1 million words of articles and many paintings during my studies,” said Brandon.
Timur is a Chinese kung fu fan. He has won kung fu competitions a lot of times. “Chinese kung fu is a treasure of Chinese culture. It is not just a sport but also shows the Chinese way of their understanding of life, nature, and the world,” he said.
Vincent, known as Wensen Qi in Chinese, is a French artist and good at lacquer (漆器) creation. He came to live in Chongqing in 2009. His works have been shown both in and outside China, and his fans have even collected some of them.
The charm of Chinese culture lies in its richness and openness. Also its cultural differences make foreigners interested in the country’s lifestyles (生活方式) and way of thinking.

When you first hear about the Dead Sea, it might sound scary, but the truth is quite different. Let’s get closer to the Dead Sea and learn more about it.
The Dead Sea is located in southwest Asia. It is about 50 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide at its widest point. It sits at about 430 meters below sea level, making it the lowest point on Earth’s land.
What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake with a salt concentration(含盐度) of more than 30 percent, which is about eight times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth.
The Dead Sea stays so salty because of its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of fresh water flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the fresh water to evaporate(蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. For these reasons, it is also known as the Salt Sea.
If you were to swim in the Dead Sea, you wouldn’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to live there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea.
However, don’t let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys (救生圈). In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the lakeside, you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines.
( )13. What do we know about the Dead Sea?
A. It is the largest place in Asia.
B. It is the widest sea in the world.
C. It is the deepest point in America.
D. It is the lowest lake on Earth’s land.
( )14. What makes the Dead Sea so salty?
A. A lot of seawater runs into it.
B. Human activities improve the salt levels.
C. Little rain falls and fresh water evaporates quickly.
D. The high temperature stops the water from freezing.
( )15.Why do people call it the Dead Sea?
A. Because they cannot swim in it.
B. Because it has something dangerous.
C. Because it has low salt concentration.
D. Because no plants or animals can live in it.
( )16. What can we infer(推断) from the last paragraph?
A. People feel scared when swimming in the Dead Sea.
B. The Dead Sea is dangerous for people who can’t swim.
C. If people can’t swim, they’ll still be safe in the Dead Sea.
D. A life buoy is necessary when swimming in the Dead Sea.

High in a tall tree lived a small bird named Susan. She loved her comfortable home. She often sang songs and enjoyed the sun every day.
One afternoon, it was stormy and windy. All the birds flew to safety, but Susan stayed at her home. “I worked hard to build this home,” she cried. “I won’t leave it!”
The storm became worse. Susan held onto her home tightly (紧紧地) as the wind shook the branches. Suddenly, the strong wind broke her home totally. Small branches flew everywhere as Susan flew through the air. She waved her wings hard and landed safely in a tree hole. She waited. The storm didn’t end until the next morning.
When the storm ended, Susan saw that her home was gone. Broken branches and wet leaves covered the ground. She felt sad at first, but then noticed the sun returning. “I can rebuild my home,” Susan decided. She collected new leaves and little branches. This time, she built her home between two strong branches, making it even stronger than before.
When the other birds returned, they were so surprised to see Susan’s new home. Susan said proudly, “The storm took my home, but not my hope. Now I’m stronger”
After that day, Susan wasn’t afraid of storms anymore. She learned that no matter how strong the storm may be, she could always rebuild her home.
