A[2023连云港中考]
Seiichi Sano, an 89-year-old Japanese man, rode a wave at Katase Nishihama Beach, on Thursday, March 30, 2023. He has been recognized as the oldest male to surf （冲浪） by Guinness World Records.
But maybe he will just keep surfing. "I think it would be interesting to try to surf until I'm 100," Sano said. "I think I take better care of myself when I have dreams like this. Even now, I take better care of myself than I did before."
Sano said he got the idea to try surfing from a worker at his local bank. The man's skin was always dark and he did not look like a usual worker. His secret to keep healthy and energetic, he said, was surfing. So, Sano found a teacher.
Sano gets out most weekends on the black-sand beach. "I don't consider myself an old man," he said in his wet suit, his board standing next to him. "I have never thought of myself as an old person. I always feel that I can still move forward. I can still do it. I can still enjoy it."
Several young students who also work with Sano's surf teacher talked about Sano.
"I think age doesn't matter in surfing," a 12-year-old surfer said.
"He is so amazing," added his younger brother.
"To be honest, I was surprised by his age," said Sano's surfing teacher. "I was worried that he would get hurt. I did not know how fit he was."
Sano still works 9-to-5 at his job. Surfing helps make him less stressed. "People often say that surfing is life itself," he said. "I think it is true."

A set of photos of a boy carrying his tennis rackets in a bamboo basket has gone viral （走红）.
The boy, Wang Fa, 15, is a member of the Va ethnic group（佤族） from Yunnan. After winning the under-14 title （冠军） in the Guangzhou stop of the 2022 ASICS Tennis Junior Tour, an audience （观众） member from Yunnan gave him the bamboo basket as a gift and the photos were taken.
"We always carry bamboo baskets when we work in the field. This is a typical farming tool of the Va ethnic group. I carried my rackets in this basket to honor my hometown," Wang said after the match.
Before tennis, Wang was just an ordinary boy from a village. But in 2016, he was chosen by a local club as one of the first 10 local children to learn to play professional tennis. "I was nervous in the beginning because the outside world was so different from my home," he said, adding that tennis has helped him make more friends and get a better education.
Over the past seven years, Wang, along with other players at the Yunnan Wild Elephants Tennis Club, has trained hard to improve his skills and physical strength. The children would get up at 6:30 a.m. and practice for more than six hours a day. Every day, they need to swing a racket more than 7,000 times and run 9 kilometers.
"If it were not for tennis, I would still be helping out my family with farm work back home," Wang said.
Wang's parents didn't want him to learn tennis at first because they couldn't afford it. But the tennis club offered to teach him for free. Wang's hometown, the mountainous Cangyuan Va autonomous county, was just lifted out of poverty （脱贫） in 2019, reported China Daily
For Wang, winning the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour title was the beginning of a hopeful future. "I will aim for the top spot （位置） on the professional stage," he said.

His chance soon came. In 1983, he helped shoot（拍摄） a documentary about birds. That experience led him to learn photography and take photos of flying birds.
In the 1980s, the Internet was not that popular in China and cameras were expensive. He managed to borrow a camera and threw himself into studying how to use it. During that time, the library became his favorite place where he first read some magazines about nature. It opened a door for him to connect with nature.
In 1992, a research program was organized to protect a type of unusual monkeys which only live in China. Usually, the home of these monkeys has half-a-year-long winters. It created great challenges for Xi Zhinong's work, but he never drew back. "I didn't see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains the third time," said Xi Zhinong. He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photographs of the monkeys.
Several years later, his works won international prizes. People around the world began to pay attention to the protection of wild animals in China. And he is the first Chinese winner of the world-famous Wildlife Photographer of the Year.

And the television only got in one channel（频道） clearly. I spent most of my time then playing alone outside in the yard and woods near our home.
It was only a matter of time then before my exploring led me to "Little Frankie's" house. Everyone called him Little Frankie because he

He got his water from a mountain spring that ran next to his house. He still worked at gardening, cooking, and cleaning every day.
For some reason, though, we became fast friends. He would fry（炸） potatoes on his stove and share them with me. Then he would talk and show me old photos. He worked hard, worried little, gave freely, smiled easily, and loved kindly.

As an artist, Pei Haozheng is well-known for paper folding. In his eyes, a piece of paper holds great possibilities. He can fold it into anything.
He used his skills in his work, Deer with 100 Flowers（《花生满鹿》）. It's a deer with 100 flowers on its antlers（鹿角）. Without cuts or glue, he used a piece of paper with the side lengths（长度） of 2.22
meters to finish the whole work. As for the idea for the work, Pei said it came from a Chinese saying. It not only shows the wishes for Chinese young people to have a bright future, but also the deep love for our country.
As a child, Pei learned folding from teachers and parents, and later he copied the patterns from books. Gradually, he was drawn to the paper world.
For Pei, folding is an art that needs many skills. For example, it needs knowledge of math to make sure everything is in the right place, such as the different angles（角度） and the lengths of the creases（折痕）. However, Pei thinks artistic beauty and exact folding are both important. Going too far with either won't make good work.
As an artist, Pei wants to tell the Chinese story through paper. "For me, paper folding is not just a special skill, but an art that can pass culture and last forever," said Pei.

At 9 a.m., Yang Jinlong drives to primary schools and middle schools in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, to teach students about Shaanxi kuaiban. It is a traditional Chinese form of storytelling to the rhythm（节奏） of bamboo clappers（响板）, which the art form is named after. Usually, his classes run until about 6 p.m., and then he returns home to prepare classes for the next day.
Shaanxi kuaiban, which appeared during the late Qing Dynasty, has been included in the list of China's national intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）. The art form has been introduced to local schools as part of their art education.
Yang has been teaching young people the art form since 2003.
"Art education is important for students in China. Just as many students learn to play Western musical instruments like the piano and the violin, there are many people learning traditional Chinese folk arts, including Shaanxi kuaiban," he said.
Kuaiban is popular in northern China, including Beijing and Tianjin. According to Yang, Shaanxi kuaiban was influenced by the art of different areas. The art form can be played by a group of players or only one.

My name is George. This is my true experience when I was in Grade Five at primary school. At that time, I was afraid to answer questions in class. When the teacher asked a question, I always hung my head because I was afraid that the teacher would see me.
One day, in a foreign language class, Mr Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. "Let me tell you a story first," he said.
"When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found a funny thing. The students around me always took cardboards （纸板）, wrote their names on them with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the cardboards on the desks, with the names facing the speaker. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener's name directly.
"I couldn't understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that."
After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance.
