The 15th National Games, held from November 9 to 21, 2025, was co-hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao for the first time in history. Here is something about the games.

	The medal for the 15th National Games, named “Tong Xin Yue”, symbolizes the united spirit of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. On the medal, three flowers of the three places form a concentric (同心的) festive flower, with the peony (牡丹) below symbolizing the motherland. On the other side of the medal, Chinese white dolphin “Xi Yang Yang” is holding a torch.
	Where was the flame (火焰) of the Games from? People sent “Haima” to the bottom of the South China Sea. There, it collected CH₄ and turned it into flammable (易燃的) ice. Then the ice was lit under the sea by the power of the sunlight and taken out of water.

Along the coast of Jiangsu Province, there is a wetland called Tiaozini. About ten years ago, the government planned to use this land for factories. But Yancheng, the city where Tiaozini is, faced a hard choice: build factories for money or protect the wetland. They chose the environment. They spent money to make it a World Natural Heritage site (世界自然遗产地), not selling the land to factories.

In 2019, Yancheng’s wetland became China’s first coastal wetland to be named a World Natural Heritage site. Tiaozini is the most important part of it. Today, 64 endangered bird species are protected there. The wetland is an important stopover for birds on their long migration journeys. Every year, millions of birds rest, eat, and give birth to their young on these mudflats.

So far, scientists have recorded 414 bird species here. Among them, 22 species are under China’s first-class state protection, and 71 are second-class. The most amazing one is the spoon-billed sandpiper—a very rare bird. Nearly half of the world’s remaining 500 of these birds depend on Tiaozini.

The wetland has tidal forests, salt marshes, and wet open land. All of these offer plenty of food for the birds. At the same time, the local area has kept developing. Tiaozini has become a model for keeping a balance between the economy and the environment.

“This is so much more than a success story of protection. It shows us a way to the future,” said Jia Yifei, a researcher at Beijing Forestry University. “When we take care of nature, both nature and people can do well.”

4. What choice did Yancheng have to make about ten years ago?

A. To build more schools or more hospitals.

B. To build factories or protect the wetland.

C. To sell the wetland to other countries.

5. What does the underlined word “stopover” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. A place to rest. B. A kind of bird. C. A type of food.

6. Which of the following best describes the Tiaozini project?

A. It stopped all local development.

B. It shows how to balance nature and development.

C. It only helped one kind of bird.

7. What is the writer’s main purpose?

A. To ask people to visit the wetland.

B. To explain how birds migrate.

C. To show a successful wetland protection story.

Canadian violinist Adrian Anantawan is changing the music industry for the better.

Anantawan was born without his right hand and most of his forearm, but he didn’t let that stop him from enjoying music. The violin was his instrument of choice. When he was 10, his family asked engineers to build a customized device to help him play the violin. “From the very first note that I played, I loved it. I decided to learn it,” he said.

Anantawan has spent lots of time learning and playing the violin and now he is a great violinist. He has performed at the White House, the Vancouver and Athens Olympics (雅典奥运会), and many other important events.

Anantawan has also turned his attention to voluntary work. He wants to make music more accessible. In Toronto, he helped start the Virtual Chamber Music Initiative at the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital — where he was first fitted with his own instrument as a child. The project brings together researchers, musicians, doctors, and educators to create musical instruments for young people with disabilities.

Anantawan’s work is clearly more than an interest. He considers it a welcome responsibility. “My duty and job
