A new trend — spending a whole day inside a bathhouse — is quietly reshaping how foreign visitors experience China. Videos tagged “24-hour spas in China” have become viral on social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube, drawing content creators from different parts of the world.
US travel vlogger Jonathan, who runs a channel called Travel Escapes, recently drew global attention to China’s spa culture after documenting his 24-hour stay at a luxury, yet very affordable, bathhouse in Chengdu, Sichuan province.“This is unbelievable,” he said, as he turned his lens (镜头) on the facility covering five floors. “For $41, you get everything. There’s a library, pool tables, massage rooms, sleeping areas…”
At the center of a Chinese bathhouse experience lies the body scrub (搓澡). The rejuvenating practice, performed by trained attendants who use various degrees of pressure for maximum benefit, amazes visitors, particularly first-times. “It was a bit painful at first, but you walk out feeling like your skin, and maybe even your mind, has been reset,” one visitor wrote online. Spas and bathhouses in China often serve as wellness retreats, with therapies such as gua sha — a traditional Chinese medicine treatment that uses smooth-edged tools to boost circulation, help reduce swelling and release tension — and cupping adding another dimension to the experience.
What visitors experience is not a novelty, but the reinvention of a centuries-old practice. The popularity of communal bathhouses dates back to the Northern Song Dynasty. The rising popularity of Chinese spas and bathhouses is indicative of a broader shift in how foreigners visiting China want to experience China. Most travelers seek immersive, everyday experiences, which social media users often refer to as “very Chinese moments”.
“Things that feel ordinary to locals are becoming extraordinary for international visitors,” said Li Mengran, spokeswoman for UTour Group, a leading travel platform based in Beijing.“That's where a new wave of tourism growth is coming from.”
4. Why does the author mention Jonathan in the text?
A. To recommend a five-floor bathhouse.
B. To advertise Jonathan's travel channel.
C. To illustrate the popularity of China's bathhouse.
D. To prove Chinese short videos are popular online.
5. Which of the following best describes “body scrub” according to the text?
A. Painful and intense. B. Ancient and global.
C. Gentle and rejuvenating. D. Professional and rewarding.
6. What does the international visitors’ focus shift to?
A. In-depth experiences. B. Cheaper luxury activities.
C. Mind-resetting adventures. D. Multi-dimensional moments.
7. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To promote Chinese bathhouses worldwide.
B. To show foreign vloggers’ daily life in China.
C. To introduce the services of Chinese bathhouse.
D. To present a new way foreigners experience China.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. D

A report by Pollstar reveals that concert ticket prices increased by 55% between 2019 and 2022. This dramatic rise can be associated with several factors, including inflation (通货膨胀), supply chain issues, and the demands of artists. Despite these growing costs, concert attendance remains strong. Economist Julia Coronado explains, “You can’t copy the energy of being in a crowd, singing along with your favorite band, or seeing your favorite star perform live.” Fans are willing to invest extra money for these unforgettable moments, which streaming services or recorded music cannot copy.
The growing popularity of festivals and multi-day concerts also contributes to the rise of “funflation”. These events often feature numerous acts that vindicate the higher ticket prices. A survey conducted by Eventbrite found that 71% of festival-goers felt “more connected” to their favorite artists after attending live events.
However, the rise of “funflation” has raised concerns among critics. Some argue that this trend affects some people much more than others, especially lower-income individuals who may find it challenging to afford high-priced tickets. Coronado points out, “It’s becoming more difficult for people with lower incomes to participate… It’s becoming an exclusive activity.” This view highlights the potential barriers that rising ticket prices create for certain groups of the population.
Despite these valid (合理的) concerns, concert promoters remain optimistic about the future of live music. Aliaga expresses confidence in the ever-lasting appeal of live events, stating, “People will always find ways to prioritize fun. As long as there’s demand, supply will follow.” This optimism suggests that the trend of “funflation” will continue.
The rise in concert ticket prices reflects a cultural change in how people value their leisure time and entertainment options. While critics highlight the accessibility issues posed by rising ticket prices, the live entertainment industry remains confident in its growth potential. As the industry adapts to these changing dynamics, it will be interesting to see how it addresses the concerns of accessibility while continuing to develop.
8. Why do fans accept higher concert ticket prices?
A. They dislike streaming music. B. They expect free on-site gifts.
C. They enjoy unique experiences. D. They long to interact with stars.
9. What does the underlined word “vindicate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Justify. B. Expect. C. Ignore. D. Adjust.
10. What is critics’ concern about “funflation”?
A. It makes the poor poorer. B. It limits audience diversity.
C. It harms artist-fan bonds. D. It lowers artists’ popularity.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Ticket Hikes: Barriers for Low-income Music Fans B. Live Industry: Bright Future of Music Performances
C. Live Concerts: Unique Joy Unmatched by Streaming D. Funflation: Pros and Cons of Higher Concert Tickets
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕“funflation (娱乐通胀)”展开,介绍演唱会票价暴涨的背景,分析粉丝愿意买单的原因,同时探讨高价票带来的公平争议,并提及演出行业对线下音乐市场的乐观预期。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Fans are willing to invest extra money for these unforgettable moments, which streaming services or recorded music cannot copy. (粉丝们愿意为这些难忘的时刻支付额外费用,而流媒体服务或录音音乐都无法复制这种体验。)”可知,粉丝接受高价票是因为他们看重线下独一无二的独特体验。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Despite these growing costs, concert attendance remains strong. (尽管成本不断上升,演唱会的观众人数依然保持强劲。)”以及第二段“These events often feature numerous acts that vindicate the higher ticket prices. (这类活动通常邀请众多艺人参与,使得票价上涨____)”、“71% of festival-goers felt “more connected” to their favorite artists after attending live events (71%的音乐节观众表示,在参加现场演出后,与自己喜爱的艺术家之间的联系更加紧密)”可知,线下音乐活动体验丰富、粉丝觉得物有所值,vindicate意为“证明正当/合理”,与“Justify (证明……合理)”意义相近。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“this trend affects some people much more than others, especially lower-income individuals who may find it challenging to afford high-priced tickets (该趋势对低收入人群冲击更大,他们难以负担高价门票)”以及“It’s becoming an exclusive activity. (变成小众专属活动。)”可知,说明票价上涨限制了低收入群体参与,观众群体变得单一、多元性受损。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段介绍了演唱会票价大幅上涨,粉丝因线下独有体验愿意支付高价;第二段说明多日音乐节丰富演出内容,支撑高价门票;第三段提出批评者担忧高价票排斥低收入人群,缩小受众范围;第四段演出主办方看好线下演出持久吸引力,认为涨价趋势会延续;第五段总结票价上涨反映大众休闲观念变化,行业将兼顾普及性与发展。由此可知,全文围绕娱乐通胀,阐述演唱会涨价的利好与争议两面。因此,“Funflation: Pros and Cons of Higher Concert Tickets (Funflation: 演唱会票价上涨的利与弊)”最适合作为文章标题。
D
One of the key necessary things needed for life is phosphorus (磷), and a large number of lightning strikes that happened when Earth was young 4 billion years ago may have unlocked the necessary amount of phosphorus to create the foundation for life, according to a new study.
Phosphorus is needed in the molecules (分子) that form basic cell structures, said Benjamin Hess, study author from Yale University. However, “most phosphorus on early Earth was trapped in minerals that aren’t dissolved or inactive, meaning they couldn’t be used to make molecules needed for life,” Hess said. “Lightning strikes provide a new mechanism for creating phosphorus in a form that’s crucial to life.”
It’s long thought that meteorites (陨石) delivered the necessary elements for life to appear on Earth. Meteorites have been known to contain schreibersite (磷铁石), a phosphorus mineral that can be dissolved in water. If enough of them crashed into Earth, that schreibersite could have provided the right amount of phosphorus. However, life began between 3.5 to 4.5 billion years ago, and that’s when fewer meteorites were impacting Earth.
Fortunately, schreibersite has another source in fulgurite (闪电熔岩), a kind of glass that forms when lightning strikes the ground. Fulgurite has been found to contain phosphorus and it can be dissolved.
Hess and his fellow researchers studied the rate of lightning on early Earth, and found that, on Earth today, we experience about 560 million lightning flashes per year, while on early Earth, that number was anywhere between 1 and 5 billion annually. Over a billion years, that could have caused one quintillion lightning strikes and much phosphorus.
Lightning was more prevalent on early Earth because there was more CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide contributes to the global temperature, and a higher global temperature causes more frequent and intense thunderstorms, Hess said.
Understanding the role of lightning strikes has implications in the search for life beyond Earth. “Our findings are likely applicable to any planet with an atmosphere that produces lightning. So long as a planet has a significant amount of lightning, it’d have a source of phosphorus needed for the birth of life,” Hess said.
12. What can we know about phosphorus on early Earth?
A. It was very difficult to access. B. It was impossible to produce.
C. It was enough for life to form. D. It existed mainly in water.
13. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. How life on Earth came into being.
B. How often meteorites impacted the Earth.
C. Why life on Earth doesn’t originate from meteorites.
D. What people’s opinions on the origin of life on Earth are.
14. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The rate of lightning on early Earth is less than today.
B. Carbon dioxide results in the higher global temperature.
C. More CO2 in the atmosphere accounted for more lightning.
D. Thunderstorms have almost nothing to do with global temperature.
15. What can we know from Hess’s words in the last paragraph?
A. He is showing the results of their study.
B. He is explaining the significance of their findings.
C. He is suggesting a way to find the origin of life on Earth.
D. He is commenting on the research methods of his team.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了磷元素对生命形成的重要性,以及早期地球上磷元素的来源。此外,文章还提到了另一个磷的来源——闪电熔岩,研究者指出,他们的发现对于在地球之外寻找生命具有重要意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“However, ‘most phosphorus on early Earth was trapped in minerals that aren’t dissolved or inactive, meaning they couldn’t be used to make molecules needed for life,’(然而,“早期地球上的大部分磷都被包裹在无法溶解或处于惰性状态的矿物质中,这意味着这些磷无法被用于合成生命所需的分子。”)”以及“Hess said. ‘Lightning strikes provide a new mechanism for creating phosphorus in a form that’s crucial to life.’(Hess说道:“闪电产生的电击为形成一种对生命至关重要的磷元素提供了新的机制。”)”可以得知,早期的地球上的磷大多被困在无法溶解或不活跃的矿物中,因此很难获取。所以选项A“It was very difficult to access.(它很难获取)”符合题意。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“It’s long thought that meteorites(陨石) delivered the necessary elements for life to appear on Earth. Meteorites have been known to contain schreibersite(磷铁石), a phosphorus mineral that can be dissolved in water. If enough of them crashed into Earth, that schreibersite could have provided the right amount of phosphorus. However, life began between 3.5 to 4.5 billion years ago, and that’s when fewer meteorites were impacting Earth.( 长期以来,人们一直认为陨石为地球上的生命出现提供了必需的元素。众所周知,陨石中含有施韦伯斯石(一种可溶于水的磷矿石)。如果足够多的陨石撞击地球,那么这些施韦伯斯石就能提供适量的磷。然而,生命是在 35 亿至 45 亿年前开始出现的,而那时撞击地球的陨石数量较少。)”可知,长期以来人们认为陨石为地球带来了生命所需的元素,但研究表明在生命起源的时期,撞击地球的陨石数量减少,因此地球上的生命不太可能完全起源于陨石。所以,本段的主要内容是解释为什么地球上的生命不是起源于陨石。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“‘Lightning was more prevalent on early Earth because there was more CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide contributes to the global temperature, and a higher global temperature causes more frequent and intense thunderstorms,’(在早期的地球上,闪电现象更为常见,因为那时大气中的二氧化碳含量更高。二氧化碳会影响全球气温,而全球气温升高则会导致雷暴更加频繁且更为强烈。)”可以推断出,大气中更多的二氧化碳导致了更多的闪电。因此,选项C“More CO2 in the atmosphere accounted for more lightning.(大气中更多的二氧化碳导致了更多的闪电)”符合题意。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Hess said. ‘Our findings are likely applicable to any planet with an atmosphere that produces lightning. So long as a planet has a significant amount of lightning, it’d have a source of phosphorus needed for the birth of life,’(Hess说道:“我们的研究结果很可能适用于任何拥有大气层且能产生闪电的行星。只要一颗行星有大量闪电现象发生,它就具备了生命诞生所需的磷元素来源。”)”可以推断出Hess的话是在解释他们研究的重要性,即理解闪电的作用对于在地球之外寻找生命具有重要意义。因此,选项B“He is explaining the significance of their findings.(他正在解释他们发现的意义)”符合题意。故选B。

Taking swimming class was a must in Ren’s school and there was a pre-test in the third week and a final test in the last week according to the course plan.
That pre-test day came soon. The gym teacher blew the whistle (哨子) and four students dived into the swimming pool, racing to the other side, Then the next four were up, but only three stood on the diving board. “Where is Ren?” the gym teacher asked in concern.
Ren’s face turned red, and he was unsteady. He looked at the pool and stepped back. “You cannot make me do this!” he said.
Sadie, his teammate, patted him on the back gently. “You can do it! I will help you if you need it.” Ren stared into Sadie’s eyes and he calmed down.
“You can do it. You need to pass this class.” The gym teacher said, Ren stepped on the diving board, putting his goggles (护目镜) over his eyes, and the blue cap hid his red hair. The whistle blew and Ren stood there as the other three swam away. Then one boy ran and pushed Ren into the water.
Sadie glared at the boy, “Why would you do that?” A minute passed by and Ren still wasn’t coming up. Sadie jumped in and pulled him out of the water. She gave him CPR (心肺复苏), and it took a while until water came out of his lungs. Then finally he spat out the water and sat up, feeling dizzy.
Ren looked over at Sadie, who breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, thank goodness! Why didn’t you use your arms or legs?” Ren stared away from Sadie, looking at the bottom of the blue pool, then looking up at the gym teacher who rolled his eyes. “I can’t swim. My parents never taught me as a kid. We are afraid of water.”
Sadie put her hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry, I will teach you how to swim. The water is my favorite place to be.” Ren thought for a while, and nodded gently.

【答案】参考范文
After gym class Sadie asked Ren gently why he was afraid of water. Hesitating for a second, he shared an experience that he was once narrowly drowned in the river. “Let’s face and overcome it together.” Sadie said firmly. From then on, Sadie tried all means to help Ren. Gradually Ren overcame his fear and he swam freely in the pool. Sadie encouraged him to take part in the coming final examination. When that day came, Ren stepped on the diving board and he kept calm and attentive.
The gym teacher blew the whistle and this time Ren dived bravely. He swam to the other side with incredible speed and technique. The gym teacher walked to the other side of the gym and knelt down “Incredible, Ren!”. The gym teacher helped him out of the water, shaking his hand excitedly and cheerfully. “Congratulations, you made it!” Ren hugged his teacher tightly and waved to Sadie gratefully with tears in eyes. Sometimes, it is the encouragement and support from your loved ones that help you step out of your comfort zone and overcome yourself, and develop the potential to the fullest.

A new trend — spending a whole day inside a bathhouse — is quietly reshaping how foreign visitors experience China. Videos tagged “24-hour spas in China” have become viral on social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube, drawing content creators from different parts of the world.
US travel vlogger Jonathan, who runs a channel called Travel Escapes, recently drew global attention to China’s spa culture after documenting his 24-hour stay at a luxury, yet very affordable, bathhouse in Chengdu, Sichuan province.“This is unbelievable,” he said, as he turned his lens (镜头) on the facility covering five floors. “For $41, you get everything. There’s a library, pool tables, massage rooms, sleeping areas…”
At the center of a Chinese bathhouse experience lies the body scrub (搓澡). The rejuvenating practice, performed by trained attendants who use various degrees of pressure for maximum benefit, amazes visitors, particularly first-times. “It was a bit painful at first, but you walk out feeling like your skin, and maybe even your mind, has been reset,” one visitor wrote online. Spas and bathhouses in China often serve as wellness retreats, with therapies such as gua sha — a traditional Chinese medicine treatment that uses smooth-edged tools to boost circulation, help reduce swelling and release tension — and cupping adding another dimension to the experience.
What visitors experience is not a novelty, but the reinvention of a centuries-old practice. The popularity of communal bathhouses dates back to the Northern Song Dynasty. The rising popularity of Chinese spas and bathhouses is indicative of a broader shift in how foreigners visiting China want to experience China. Most travelers seek immersive, everyday experiences, which social media users often refer to as “very Chinese moments”.
“Things that feel ordinary to locals are becoming extraordinary for international visitors,” said Li Mengran, spokeswoman for UTour Group, a leading travel platform based in Beijing.“That's where a new wave of tourism growth is coming from.”
4. Why does the author mention Jonathan in the text?
A. To recommend a five-floor bathhouse.
B. To advertise Jonathan's travel channel.
C. To illustrate the popularity of China's bathhouse.
D. To prove Chinese short videos are popular online.
5. Which of the following best describes “body scrub” according to the text?
A. Painful and intense. B. Ancient and global.
C. Gentle and rejuvenating. D. Professional and rewarding.
6. What does the international visitors’ focus shift to?
A. In-depth experiences. B. Cheaper luxury activities.
C. Mind-resetting adventures. D. Multi-dimensional moments.
7. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To promote Chinese bathhouses worldwide.
B. To show foreign vloggers’ daily life in China.
C. To introduce the services of Chinese bathhouse.
D. To present a new way foreigners experience China.

A report by Pollstar reveals that concert ticket prices increased by 55% between 2019 and 2022. This dramatic rise can be associated with several factors, including inflation (通货膨胀), supply chain issues, and the demands of artists. Despite these growing costs, concert attendance remains strong. Economist Julia Coronado explains, “You can’t copy the energy of being in a crowd, singing along with your favorite band, or seeing your favorite star perform live.” Fans are willing to invest extra money for these unforgettable moments, which streaming services or recorded music cannot copy.
The growing popularity of festivals and multi-day concerts also contributes to the rise of “funflation”. These events often feature numerous acts that vindicate the higher ticket prices. A survey conducted by Eventbrite found that 71% of festival-goers felt “more connected” to their favorite artists after attending live events.
However, the rise of “funflation” has raised concerns among critics. Some argue that this trend affects some people much more than others, especially lower-income individuals who may find it challenging to afford high-priced tickets. Coronado points out, “It’s becoming more difficult for people with lower incomes to participate… It’s becoming an exclusive activity.” This view highlights the potential barriers that rising ticket prices create for certain groups of the population.
Despite these valid (合理的) concerns, concert promoters remain optimistic about the future of live music. Aliaga expresses confidence in the ever-lasting appeal of live events, stating, “People will always find ways to prioritize fun. As long as there’s demand, supply will follow.” This optimism suggests that the trend of “funflation” will continue.
The rise in concert ticket prices reflects a cultural change in how people value their leisure time and entertainment options. While critics highlight the accessibility issues posed by rising ticket prices, the live entertainment industry remains confident in its growth potential. As the industry adapts to these changing dynamics, it will be interesting to see how it addresses the concerns of accessibility while continuing to develop.
8. Why do fans accept higher concert ticket prices?
A. They dislike streaming music. B. They expect free on-site gifts.
C. They enjoy unique experiences. D. They long to interact with stars.
9. What does the underlined word “vindicate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Justify. B. Expect. C. Ignore. D. Adjust.
10. What is critics’ concern about “funflation”?
A. It makes the poor poorer. B. It limits audience diversity.
C. It harms artist-fan bonds. D. It lowers artists’ popularity.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Ticket Hikes: Barriers for Low-income Music Fans B. Live Industry: Bright Future of Music Performances
C. Live Concerts: Unique Joy Unmatched by Streaming D. Funflation: Pros and Cons of Higher Concert Tickets

One of the key necessary things needed for life is phosphorus (磷), and a large number of lightning strikes that happened when Earth was young 4 billion years ago may have unlocked the necessary amount of phosphorus to create the foundation for life, according to a new study.
Phosphorus is needed in the molecules (分子) that form basic cell structures, said Benjamin Hess, study author from Yale University. However, “most phosphorus on early Earth was trapped in minerals that aren’t dissolved or inactive, meaning they couldn’t be used to make molecules needed for life,” Hess said. “Lightning strikes provide a new mechanism for creating phosphorus in a form that’s crucial to life.”
It’s long thought that meteorites (陨石) delivered the necessary elements for life to appear on Earth. Meteorites have been known to contain schreibersite (磷铁石), a phosphorus mineral that can be dissolved in water. If enough of them crashed into Earth, that schreibersite could have provided the right amount of phosphorus. However, life began between 3.5 to 4.5 billion years ago, and that’s when fewer meteorites were impacting Earth.
Fortunately, schreibersite has another source in fulgurite (闪电熔岩), a kind of glass that forms when lightning strikes the ground. Fulgurite has been found to contain phosphorus and it can be dissolved.
Hess and his fellow researchers studied the rate of lightning on early Earth, and found that, on Earth today, we experience about 560 million lightning flashes per year, while on early Earth, that number was anywhere between 1 and 5 billion annually. Over a billion years, that could have caused one quintillion lightning strikes and much phosphorus.
Lightning was more prevalent on early Earth because there was more CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide contributes to the global temperature, and a higher global temperature causes more frequent and intense thunderstorms, Hess said.
Understanding the role of lightning strikes has implications in the search for life beyond Earth. “Our findings are likely applicable to any planet with an atmosphere that produces lightning. So long as a planet has a significant amount of lightning, it’d have a source of phosphorus needed for the birth of life,” Hess said.
12. What can we know about phosphorus on early Earth?
A. It was very difficult to access. B. It was impossible to produce.
C. It was enough for life to form. D. It existed mainly in water.
13. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. How life on Earth came into being.
B. How often meteorites impacted the Earth.
C. Why life on Earth doesn’t originate from meteorites.
D. What people’s opinions on the origin of life on Earth are.
14. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The rate of lightning on early Earth is less than today.
B. Carbon dioxide results in the higher global temperature.
C. More CO2 in the atmosphere accounted for more lightning.
D. Thunderstorms have almost nothing to do with global temperature.
15. What can we know from Hess’s words in the last paragraph?
A. He is showing the results of their study.
B. He is explaining the significance of their findings.
C. He is suggesting a way to find the origin of life on Earth.
D. He is commenting on the research methods of his team.

Taking swimming class was a must in Ren’s school and there was a pre-test in the third week and a final test in the last week according to the course plan.
That pre-test day came soon. The gym teacher blew the whistle (哨子) and four students dived into the swimming pool, racing to the other side, Then the next four were up, but only three stood on the diving board. “Where is Ren?” the gym teacher asked in concern.
Ren’s face turned red, and he was unsteady. He looked at the pool and stepped back. “You cannot make me do this!” he said.
Sadie, his teammate, patted him on the back gently. “You can do it! I will help you if you need it.” Ren stared into Sadie’s eyes and he calmed down.
“You can do it. You need to pass this class.” The gym teacher said, Ren stepped on the diving board, putting his goggles (护目镜) over his eyes, and the blue cap hid his red hair. The whistle blew and Ren stood there as the other three swam away. Then one boy ran and pushed Ren into the water.
Sadie glared at the boy, “Why would you do that?” A minute passed by and Ren still wasn’t coming up. Sadie jumped in and pulled him out of the water. She gave him CPR (心肺复苏), and it took a while until water came out of his lungs. Then finally he spat out the water and sat up, feeling dizzy.
Ren looked over at Sadie, who breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, thank goodness! Why didn’t you use your arms or legs?” Ren stared away from Sadie, looking at the bottom of the blue pool, then looking up at the gym teacher who rolled his eyes. “I can’t swim. My parents never taught me as a kid. We are afraid of water.”
Sadie put her hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry, I will teach you how to swim. The water is my favorite place to be.” Ren thought for a while, and nodded gently.
注意:
