Zhang Zening, a hanfu supporter and lover in Nanjing, East China’s Jiangsu Province, started a surprising journey eight years ago to restore (使复原) this traditional Chinese clothing. Inspired by ancient murals (壁画), Zhang, 41, studied the artistry of hanfu in various museums, changing paintings into touchable and wearable pieces.
Upon graduating from college, Zhang first worked in material research, burying herself in the laboratory, conducting chemical experiments for the study of raw materials. At the time, she was one of the earliest lovers of hanfu in China, frequently organizing various hanfu activities in her spare time. Now as the owner of a hanfu studio, Zhang has worked with women’s re-employment organizations, looking for full-time stay-at-home women with sewing (缝纫) skills. This matched with her need for the production of hanfu.
Around 2015, Zhang began to focus independently on the process of hanfu restoration. In that year, she visited Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu Province where she was attracted by the beautiful murals there, wondering how she could possibly change them into beautiful costumes.
In the past years, she has traveled to more than 10 cities across China, constantly studying murals and conducting research to restore hanfu from different dynasties. She managed to restore more than 50 sets. She referred to different materials including various murals, other cultural relics and literature to make sure that the restoration is as correct as possible. Thanks to her work, many young people wear restored hanfu when they visit museums, and Zhang is excited to see more of them doing so.

When 62-year-old fisherman Kpana Charlie finished the day’s catch, he liked to settle into a wooden chair, thinking about his childhood. Back then, his life on Sierra Leone’s Nyangai Island seemed excellent. He spent endless hours playing with his friends on the island’s white beaches. Whenever he wanted to avoid having to do his housework, he could simply disappear into the forest that covered much of the island. He remembers as recently as ten years ago, it still measured some 2,300 feet from end to end.
Today, Nyangai is disappearing before his very eyes, covered by the endless sea. The forests are gone. And the land on which Charlie’s family home once stood, has long since disappeared beneath the waves.
In fact, the local government has responded to the sharp increase of sea level by building a concrete (混凝土制的) seawall along the length of the town. But in the many smaller coastal towns and villages in the area, there simply aren’t the resources. Then, the government made a project to protect some of the settlements by planting trees, but this has had limited success. With the population relying on woods for building and smoking fish, few trees lived longer than the project, which ended in 2021.
Sierra Leone has been identified as one of the world’s most weak countries to the effects of climate change, despite having little influence on global CO2 emissions (排放). “Weak countries should be getting some support from wealthy nations to strengthen their climate defenses (防御),” says Gabriel Kpaka, the head of the country’s Meteorological Agency. “But we’re not really seeing that.”
With global sea level expected to rise by anywhere between 1 and 3 feet by the end of the century, along with an increase in extreme weather events, the experience of this West African island offers an understanding of the possible future of countless other low-lying areas around the world.
28. Why does the author tell Charlie’s story in paragraph 1
A. To describe his wonderful life at present.
B. To offer readers background information.
C. To call on local people to protect the sea.
D. To attract more visitors to Nyangai Island.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The reasons for the changes on the island.
B. The rich natural species in coastal areas.
C. The measures taken to deal with rising sea level.
D. The way to build a concrete seawall on the island.
30. What can be done to help Nyangai Island according to Kpaka
A. Local government should build a stronger seawall.
B. Local people on the island limit their CO2 emissions.
C. Countries in low-lying areas work together for their rights.
D. Rich countries should offer support about climate defenses.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of other low-lying areas
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncertain. D. Concerned.
D
Not all birds sing, but those that do—some several thousand species—do it a lot.
Iris Adam, a scientist at the University of Southern Denmark says, birds have “a drive to sing”. This means hours every day for some species, and that takes a lot of energy. However, singing can be dangerous. “As soon as you sing, you show yourself, for example, where you are and that you even exist—all of that immediately is out in the open for predators. (捕食性动物), for everybody,” she says.
In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for why birds take that risk and whether the muscles (肌肉) that produce birdsong require daily exercise. Adam designed an experiment on zebra finches—little Australian songbirds. Her experiment included keeping male birds in the dark to sever the connection between their brains and their singing muscles, which prevented them from singing.
After a week, the birds’ singing muscles lost half of their strength. Three weeks later, they were back to the same level when they were juveniles (and never had sung before. When Adam played one of the male’s songs for a group of female birds, six out of nine preferred the song that came from a male who had been using his singing muscles daily.
Adam’s conclusion is that songbirds need to exercise their singing muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don’t sing, they lose performance, and their songs get less attractive to females, which is bad.
“What they stress is that you need a lot of practice to improve what you’re doing,” says Ana Amador, a scientist at the University of Buenos Aires. It’s a good rule to live by, whether you’re a bird or a human—practice makes perfect, at least when it comes to singing one’s heart out.
32. Why can singing be dangerous for birds
A. They can drive predators to sing. B. They never protect their areas.
C. Their singing can attract predators. D. Singing does damage to their muscles.
33. What does the underlined word “sever” probably mean in paragraph 3
A. Remember. B. Keep. C. Risk. D. End.
34. What do we know about Adam’s experiment
A. It mainly focused on male birds and juveniles.
B. It aimed to protect zebra finches from possible risks.
C. It strengthened birds’ singing muscles in four weeks.
D. It proved exercising singing muscles matters to birds.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Iris Adam’s work is a big success
B. Singing can be dangerous for birds
C. Birds sing to keep muscles in shape
D. Birds and human beings need practice

These four good habits will improve some aspects of your life.
Do one thing at a time
36 . In truth, it’s not the best way to get things done. Instead of jumping from one thing to the next like a ping-pong ball, stick with one task as long as you can. That concentrated time you spend on one thing will be far more productive. 37 .
Create a place for everything
Imagine all things in your home have a place where they live. For example, toys go into a basket when they’re not in use. 38 . If you regularly (定期的) have lots of things that have nowhere to go, it may be time to make some hard choices about what you really want to keep.
39
Get up at the same time every day, preferably all seven days a week. A consistent (一致的) sleep schedule helps form your body’s circadian rhythm (昼夜节律). Sleeping late on the weekends is not bad. But it feels better to get regular rests every day.
Learn how to say no
Saying yes to everything can be a difficult habit to break for most of us. But learning how to draw a line is one of the best things you can do for yourself. You have the power not to agree to help everyone else with their problems. 40 . Your time is just as valuable as everyone else’s.
A. Set a realistic goal
B. Keep a consistent sleep schedule
C. In this way you spare lots of time for yourself
D. If so, tidying up your home gets a whole lot quicker
E. Most of us sometimes do several things at the same time
F. Being efficient with the time you have is crucial for productivity

In a small town, there lived a girl named Lily and her older brother, Alex. Lily had a dream to become a professional dancer, a dream which filled her life with both excitement and challenges. Alex, who had always been her role model, understood her passion more than anyone else.
While, growing up, Lily looked up to Alex. He was the star athlete of his high school, admired by many. But to Lily, he was more than that; he was her support system, always encouraging her to pursue (追求) her dream. However, Lily’s path to becoming a dancer was filled with difficulties. Financial limits and lack of resources in their small town were constant challenges.
As Lily entered high school, Alex noticed his sister’s struggles and knew he had to step in. He started by organizing dance workshops and fundraising events in their community. He spent his evenings helping Lily practice, turning their garage into a dance studio. His efforts brought the community together, and soon, Lily had a small but devoted group of supporters cheering her on.
With Alex’s help, Lily started to gain confidence. She improved her skills and began to participate in local dance competitions. Each time she performed, Alex was there in the front row, cheering the loudest. His strong belief in her fueled Lily’s determination to succeed.
As Lily’s senior year approached, a significant opportunity arose—a chance to compete in a national dance competition, with the prize being an entry into a famous dance academy. Lily signed up for it and practiced day and night for the competition. The night before the event, Lily felt extremely anxious. Alex stayed up with her, talking through her routines and reminding her of the strength and beauty in her movements. His words calmed Lily down and filled her with newfound confidence.

His appointment was at five and he still had forty minutes to spare. He crossed into the square and sat down on a bench, enjoying the afternoon sun. As he sat there, watching the children at play, he suddenly saw a red sports car like his pulling out of the street where he had parked. The car sped away and was soon out of his sight. George felt in his pocket, but he couldn’t find his keys. “My car!” he cried in a loud voice, which made several people stare at him. He got up and ran across the square, then down the narrow street. He found that his car was hidden behind a large one. He was relieved to find his keys still in his car.

How I benefit from English writing lessons
English writing lessons have greatly benefited me in several ways. Firstly, these lessons have helped me improve my overall writing skills. Through the practice and guidance provided by my English teacher, I have learned how to construct well-organized essays, allowing me to effectively convey my ideas. Secondly, these lessons have expanded my vocabulary and enhanced my grammar. Furthermore, these lessons have boosted my critical thinking abilities, enabling me to think more critically and express my opinions more effectively.
Certainly, I have some advice. I hope that my English teacher can provide more opportunities for us to practice writing independently. Additionally, it would be beneficial to include more interactive activities in lessons, such as peer editing or group discussions, to develop cooperative learning and enhance writing skills.
