B One sunny moming,I went fishing with Uncle Tom by the peaceful ri\crbank near my home.The air smelled of fresh grass and flowers,and the clcar water shone brightly in the sofl sunlight.I felt bappy and hopetal because Uncle Tom had talked about Walter many times before -abig.clever trout (living in the deep river.Almost no fishermen in the town had ever caught this special wild fish. Suddenly,my uncle's fishing rod bent dceply,and the fishing line became very tight."It's Walterl"he said with great excitement.The fish fought hard to escape,swimming here and there wildly in the water.Uncle Tom kept careful control of the fishing rod.After a long,hard fight,he finally pulled the tired fish slowly up onto the riverbank. At first,Walter looked so beautiful,shining bright silver.But onco out of the water,its color slowly tumed dull.It became quiet and weak.I started to feel worried ond upset.At once,I remembered what we'd learned in science class.This kind of wild trout Is rare and in great danger. They can only live in clean,wild rivers. "Uncle Tom,we should let it go.It belongs to nature."Uncle Tom smiled and agreed,"You're right.Though the hook left a small cut on its mouth,clean water will help it get well soon." Wc gently lowered Walter back into the river.Soon it swam frcely away.

C Living in China has made me realize how convenient life can be.It's much better than I ever thought. The moment I came to this country,a wave of pleasant surprise washed over me.The public transport system,especially in its big citics like Beijing and Shanghai,is great.The subway networks cover every part of the big cities.People can avoid the traffic jams and get to where they want to go much faster.High-speed trains that connect cities like Beijing and Shanghai in less than five hours are another example of China's wonderful transportation system. Another great thing that stands out in China is the availability (of services.If my bike is broken and needs a repairman,or if I want to have daily needs,electronics or even medicine,I just need to make a phone call or click on my phone a few times.Since everything is available online,I no longer have to go far to the supermarket or the store.It is one of the key reasons I've stayed in China for so long-something Ive never experienced in any other country. What's morc,China's convenience doesn't only lie in the speed of services,but also in their user-friendliness.The whole system is designed with user experience in mind.For example,the apps 1 use for transportation or deliveries are user-friendly,even for people who are not good at technology.Everything,including payment methods,is simple and direct.It means you don't need to spend time learning how to use the systems.This makes it easy for everyone to get things done without difficulties.

B.Teng Fei,a Chinese who has just returned from abroad. C.Amy,a foreigner who has had a one-week trip to China. D.Fu Xing,a Chinese student who is proud of Chinese culture. D Carsickness can make travel a much less enjoyable experience for many people.Could listening to the right music help with their carsickness?Scientists studying ways of reducing ( carsickness have found that playing the right types of music may help people feel better more quicldly. Scientists used a special simulator (to make people feel carsick.Once the participants (began to feel sick,the scientists played different types of music for different groups of participants to see which one was the most helpful in helping them feel better.At the same time, scientists watched participants'brainwaves (to see how carsick they were.The results were both clear and surprising. According to the study,happy music was the most helpful against carsickness,reducing it by 57.3%.It was very closely followed by soft music at 56.7%.Exciting music reduced carsickness by 48.3%.Surprisingly,playing sad music was less helpful than doing nothing.The control group reported 43.3%better after they rested,while those who listened to sad music reported only 40% better. These findings offer a better way to help carsickncss than traditional treatments."The traditional trcatments often have sidc-cffccls such as slcepincss,"said Dr Oizong Yao of Southwest Lniversity.China."Using music to hclp is nn casy,safe,low-cost,and personal method for cnch nerson.Based on our rcsults.pcople cxpcricncing carsickness during travels can listen to cheerful or son musie to feol better."
