Every big dream starts with a small seed (种子). When Zhang Xue was a boy, he loved motorcycles. He always dreamed of seeing a Chinese brand (品牌) on the top step one day. To learn more about motorcycles, he worked in repair shops after finishing junior high school and never stopped studying.
In April 2024, Zhang established a motorcycle company named after himself. It was a hard journey. Some people laughed and said, “A small Chinese brand can never beat the world’s best.” Zhang didn’t listen. He and his team found Debise, a French rider with rich racing experience. Together, they got ready for the World Superbike Championship (世界超级摩托车锦标赛).
In their first season in 2026, they faced many difficulties. But they never lost hope. Race by race, the big day finally came.

Shenzhen is going to host the 2026 APEC Summit (亚太经合组织峰会). To better serve foreigners and people from Hong Kong and Macao, a new action plan has been launched. The plan focuses on making their daily life easier. It covers different fields like healthcare, travel and business environment.
The cross-border (跨境的) care will be much more convenient. For example, Shenzhen is working more closely with Hong Kong’s healthcare system. Hospitals in both places will share medical records. This will help patients get better care without repeating tests.
It will also be easier for business people to travel. For foreign business people who set up companies in Qianhai, they can get two-year visas (签证), as well as their family members. Some business travellers can also get special travel cards or port visas when they arrive at the airport.
In addition, to build a better business environment, hospitals and hotels will use Chinese-English signs. Hotels will also use smart devices for easy check-ins, and AI tools will help with translation. Shenzhen will also launch digital RMB wallets with APEC designs. Visitors can use them to pay at shops, hotels, and tourist spots. This will make payment much easier.
All these steps are working together to make Shenzhen a more welcoming and better-connected city for everyone.

For over 100 years, scientists have wondered how cats always land on their feet when they fall. Some parts of this mystery (谜) have been solved, but much remains unknown. Now, researchers in Japan have found it could be about the way a cat’s spine (脊柱) is built.
In 1894, a scientist took the first pictures of a falling cat turning in the air. The cat turned itself over and landed on its feet. This seemed to go against the laws of physics. Scientists called it the “falling cat problem”.
Normally, for an object to begin turning in midair, it must have a force (力) pushing on it. Scientists later showed that cats can turn over by using their own bodies. But exactly how they do it is still unknown.
Now, researchers at a Japanese University say the answer may lie in the cat’s spine. They studied the spines of five dead cats. They looked at two parts: the front half and the back half. They found the front half could turn about three times as much as the back half. The front was much more flexible (灵活的).
The team also studied two living cats. Using a high-speed camera, they recorded each cat falling onto something soft from about one metre high. The videos showed that the cats did not turn all at once. Instead, the front half turned first, followed by the back half. This helps explain how cats can turn in the air.
21. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 1?
A. The cat. B. The way. C. The spine. D. The mystery.
22. When was the “falling cat problem” first recorded?
A. In the 1890s. B. In the 1880s. C. In the 1900s. D. In the 1980s.
23. Which of the following best describes a cat’s front half of the spine?
A. Lighter. B. Shorter. C. More flexible. D. More colourful.
24. How can cats turn in the air according to the last two paragraphs?
A. By using a force pushing on them.
B. By falling from a height within one metre.
C. By landing softly on something from a high place.
D. By turning their front half first and then the back half.
25. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Why Cats Have Flexible Spines
B. How Cats Always Land on Their Feet
C. Who Took the First Photos of Falling Cats
D. What Scientists Still Do Not Know About Cats

A. The following tips will help you.
B. Next, heat the water until it boils.
C. Then roll them softly to loosen (松动) the shells.
D. Besides boiling, there are other easy ways to cook eggs.
E. Follow the tips above, and you’ll get perfect hard-boiled eggs.
F. This cools the eggs down quickly and makes peeling much easier.
Hard-boiled eggs are delicious and healthy. However, many people find it difficult to cook them well and peel (剥壳) them easily. 26
First, place the eggs in a pot and add cold water until it reaches about 2.5 cm above the eggs. Adding a little salt can make peeling easier later.
27 Then turn off the heat and cover the pot. For hard-boiled eggs, let them sit in the hot water for 7-10 minutes. By changing the cooking time, you can get soft or firm yolks (蛋黄), just as you like. After that, take out the eggs and cool them quickly in cold water. 28
To peel the eggs, gently hit them on a hard surface to break them first. 29 Now you can start peeling from the larger end. If the shell is difficult to take off, you can peel the egg under running water.
30 You can also steam, bake or fry them for different tastes.
