Beijing worked hard to give Paralympic athletes (残疾运动员) a better and convenient environment to have games during the winter vacation.
From March 4 to 12, around 600 Paralympians from 46 countries and regions competed in 78 events of six ice and snow sports in the Games. China has the largest team with sixty-eight men and twenty-eight women athletes. They won many prizes for the country's Winter Paralympic (冬残奥) history.
All the athletes have something wrong with their bodies. Some are blinded or deaf. It is difficult to imagine how they live. But they never lose the hope for life. Instead, they find the meaning of sports. To make everything easy for them, Beijing did a lot of things, such as automatic doors, audio services, Braille signage(盲文), special seats and bathrooms. "It has been a good few years of hard work," said an officer.
In China, there are 85 million people with disabilities. They join in different activities in culture and sports these years with a rise from 6.8% in 2015 to 23.9% in 2021.

6. 阅读下面短文，完成表格。
Some people around you look so cool and happy, but you often feel lonely. Or the friends you have do not really understand you, which makes you feel lonely, too. So what can be done when you have this feeling
Understand people's differences
Not everyone has to do things the same way or behave the same way. Find people who have the same feeling. That is always a good basic for the friendship. You can take part in activities outside school like sports, art classes and dancing classes. There you can have more chances to find people who have the same interest as you.
Develop your friendship
Friendships do not just happen, and they need work. Phone your friends once in a while. Being there when they need you means that they will do the same for you.
Accept others' invitations
Even if someone invites you to a neighborhood party, you never know who else will be there. Laughing and playing together could start a new friendship.
Start a club
Make your circle of friends big by starting a club. Going camping together or regularly (有规律地) going to the movies doesn't take much time.

Most people have a bad night when they cannot sleep. About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people can not fall asleep. This problem is called insomnia. This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make themselves fall asleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous statesman (政治家) and inventor, had four beds. He moved from one to another to fall asleep.
