A
There have been many great painters in the rich history of Chinese art. Here are four of the greatest painters from China.
Li Cheng (919—967, Five Dynasties and early Song Dynasty)
Li Cheng contributed greatly to one of the golden ages of landscape paintings in world history. During his time, he was considered the best landscape painter ever. He is remembered especially for the winter landscapes he created and for simple compositions of tall, old evergreens set against a dry landscape. Several of his paintings are in thin ink which gives them a foggy appearance.
Fan Kuan (990—1020, Song Dynasty)
Fan Kuan began his career by modeling Li Cheng’s work but later created his own style, claiming that the only true teacher was nature. His finest work Travelers among Mountains and Streams is a masterpiece of landscape painting and many future artists turned to it for inspiration.
Qi Baishi (1864-1957)
One of the greatest contemporary Chinese painters, Qi Baishi is known for not being influenced by Western styles like most painters of his time. He can be considered as the last great traditional painter of China. He painted almost everything from insects to landscapes. He is regarded highly in Chinese art for the freshness that he brought to the familiar types of birds and flowers, insects and grass.
Wu Guanzhong (1919—2010)
Widely considered as the founder of modem Chinese painting, Wu Guanzhong has painted various aspects of China, like its architecture, plants, animals, people and landscapes. Wu went on to combine Western and Chinese styles to create a unique form of modem art. In 1992, he became the first living Chinese artist whose work was exhibited at the British Museum.

You don’t generally expect to put yourself in the public eye when you go on vacation. However, when a British couple, Jessica and Edward, flew to Crete, they found themselves attracting a lot of attention after coming across a large sum of money in the street.
At first, their Crete vacation hadn’t been anything outside of the norm. However, it was as they were exploring the souvenir shops that everything changed. The couple were just walking down the street when Jessica suddenly kicked something lying on the ground. It looked a bit like a make-up bag and so they assumed that someone had lost it.
Without hesitation, Jessica picked up the bag and opened it. She was shocked to see a lot of money in it-a total of 7, 100 Euros. There was probably a lot they could do with all that money. However, the couple didn’t have it in them to steal what belonged to someone else. Going to the police was the first thought that came to mind when Jessica saw the money. She didn’t consider that there was any other choice, so the couple handed over the money to the local police.
The police found the owner, an elderly woman, and informed the couple that the woman wanted to meet them. When they eventually met at the police station, the woman was so overcome with emotion that she wouldn’t stop hugging and blessing them, although they insisted they were just doing the right thing.
News of what the couple had done quickly made its way around the island. The locals wanted to show them their gratitude. This included receiving free taxi rides and even an offer to have their hotel room upgraded. The couple appreciated the kindness, but it was all getting to be a bit too much. They just wanted to have a normal vacation.
They are probably hoping that they fly a little more under the radar during their next vacation. There’s only so much attention that these two lovebirds can handle.
24. What is the first reaction of the couple after finding the money
A. They decided to do all with that money.
B. They bought something in souvenir shops.
C. They turned it over to the local police station.
D. They tried to look for the owner by themselves.
25. Which of the following can best describe the locals in Crete
A. Polite and hard-working. B. Kind and grateful.
C. Sociable and honest. D. Rich and determined.
26. Why do the couple hope to “fly a little more under the radar” in the last paragraph
A. They want to take fewer flights. B. They can’t handle more radars.
C. They hope to gain less attention. D. They don’t have more money.
27. What can we learn from the text
A. Good things come to kind people. B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Behind bad luck conies good luck. D. Money is too much for strangers.
C
By mid-century there will likely be 9 billion people on the planet, using ever more resources and leading ever more technologically complex lives. What will our cities be like How much will artificial intelligence （AI） advance Will global warming cause disastrous changes, or will we be able to engineer our way out of the climate change issues Recently the magazine Big Think asked top minds from a variety of fields to weigh in on what the future holds 40 years from now. The result is as follows.
It’s likely that by 2050 the majority of the people in the world will live in urban areas and will have a much higher average age than people today. Cities theorist Richard thinks urbanization will transform the education system of, making our economy less houses driven and removing the divisions between home and work.
And rapidly advancing technology will continue ever more rapidly. Cities of the future won’t look like “some sort of science-fiction fantasy” but it’s likely that technological advances and information overlays (VR and AR) will greatly change how we live. Self-driving cars will make the roads safer and provide faster transports. A larger version of driverless cars-driverless trucks-may make long-distance drivers out of date.
Some long view predictions are completely dire. Environmentalist Bill says that if we don’t make great progress in fighting global warming, it’s likely we could see out-of-control rises in sea levels, huge crop shortfalls and wars over limited freshwater resources.
In terms of how we will eat, green markets founder and “real food” supporter Nina believes that there will be more small milk processing plants and more regional food operations and we’ll be healthier as a result. New York Times writer Mark thinks that people will eat fewer processed foods and eat foods grown closer to where they live. And more people will be aware of the ethical （道德的）“responsibility” to grow and preserve land-raised farm systems.
28. What may happen by 2050 based on the magazine Big Think
A. Education will be driven by economy. B. The majority of people will be taller.
C. AI will cause disastrous changes. D. Most people will live in big cities.
29. What do we know about technology in the future according to Paragraph 3
A. It will make people live in science-fiction fantasy.
B. It will ensure safer transports due to faster cars.
C. It will greatly change the way in which people live.
D. It will increase the number of long-distance drivers.
30. What does the underlined word “dire” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Magical. B. Terrible. C. Ridiculous. D. Meaningful.
31. What does Nina think of foods in the future
A. People will eat healthier and fresher foods.
B. Land-raised farm systems will be improved.
C. There will be smaller regional food operations.
D. Food supplies will become much more limited.
D
Contrary to the long-held belief that plants in the natural world are always in competition, new research has found that in severe environments adult plants help smaller ones and grow well as a result.
The research, led by Dr Rocio, studied adult and seedling（幼苗）plants in the ecological desert in the south-east of Spain. Dr Rocio said, “If you’re a seedling in a poor land — the top of a mountain or a sand hill, for example-and you’re lucky enough to end up underneath a big plant, your chances of survival are certainly better than if you landed somewhere on your own. What we have found, which was surprising, is an established large plant, called a ‘nurse’, protects a seedling； it also produces more flowers than the same plants of similar large size growing on their own. ”
Other benefits of nurse-seedling partnerships include that more variety of plants growing together can have a positive effect on the environment. For example, vegetation areas with nurse plants with more flowers might be able to attract higher numbers of pollinators（传粉者）in an area, in turn supporting insect and soil life and even provide a greater range of different fruit types for birds and other animals.
“The biggest winner for this system of nursing a plant is biodiversity（生物多样性）,” Dr Rocio said. “The more biodiverse an area, the greater number of species of plants, insect life, mammals and birds, and the better the chances of long-term healthy functioning of the environment and ecosystems.” This system is win-win for adult and seedling plants in unfavorable environments.
The research is of value to those who manage and protect plants in tough environments. Most home gardeners and farmers plan to ensure their soil and conditions are the best they can be for plant growth, but the findings might be of value to those who garden in bare places.
32. What is a common understanding of plants
A. They can help each other. B. They can survive ill conditions.
C. They compete with each other. D. They grow well on their own.
33. What will happen to seedling plants if they grow under adult plants
A. They will produce more flowers. B. They will die owing to competition.
C. They will make adult plants larger. D. They will get support from adultplants.
34. What is the effect of the nurse-seedling partnership
A. It leads to unfavorable environments.
B. It produces long-term healthy chances.
C. It attracts higher and larger pollinators.
D. It provides a more variety of plant types.
35. Who will benefit from the new research
A. People studying organic farming.
B. People protecting plants on sand hills.
C. People wanting to change biodiversity.
D. People keeping more animals on the farm.

You’re reading The Week Junior magazine right now, which means you enjoy finding out about news and interesting stories. 36 Because it’s full of things that affect you and your classmates.
If your school doesn’t have a newspaper or magazine, speak to a teacher and tell them why it would be a good idea. 37 It can also bring pupils, teachers, parents and carers together. For the people who make the newspaper, it teaches them about writing, being creative, teamwork, computer skills, listening to each other and being responsible.
A good way to start is with a meeting for the people who want to help. Talk about which school stories you would like to appear in the newspaper, who would be the best person to write them and which photographs and images you can use. 38
One person-or maybe two or three—might want to be the editor. The editors job is to decide things like a headline to go with each story and what goes on the front page.
Making the newspaper on a computer doesn’t have to be complicated. 39 You can make changes as the stories and pictures come together, and don’t be afraid to move things around to make the pages look better.
40 It printing the pages is difficult or expensive, the publication could be sent out in a digital format through the school’s email system or displayed as a blog on the school website.
A. Don’t forget to decide on a name for the newspaper too!
B. Try one issue a term so that you will learn more next term.
C. It allows students to discuss events that have happened or are happening.
D. Making a school newspaper is a fun way to create your own publication.
E. You can use simple systems like Microsoft Word, Publisher or Powerpoint.
F. Keep things simple at the beginning, with maybe four pages for the first issue.
G. A visit to the office of a local newspaper would be a great experience for your team.

When I was six years old, I visited my grandfather’s farm in Kansas and he sent me into the woods to gather pecans（胡桃）for us to enjoy later. The pecans were about the size of a man’s thumbnail（拇指指甲）and just about the tastiest snack I’d ever had.
However, pecan picking was really tiring and my little bucket（桶）was only half full after working hard for a long time. I thought I wouldn’t let Grandpa down. Just then something caught my eye. A large brown squirrel（松鼠）was a few feet away. I watched as lie picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree, jumped up to the trunk and disappeared in a large hole. A moment later the squirrel popped back out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place inside the hollow（洞）of the tree.
Not so secret anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my chance.
Handful by handful, I scooped（捡起）all of those pecans into my bucket. Now it was almost full! I was so proud of myself that I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans.
I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans！” He looked into the bucket and asked, “Well, well, how did you find so many？”I told him how I’d followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the bucket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders.
