The World Full of Eye-catching Things
The following flowers and plants might not be so eye-pleasing, but are certainly eye-catching, since they all look like some objects.
Lady’s Slipper
The lady’s slipper orchid is considered to be the rarest type of wild orchid. Now Lancashire in England is the only place where this plant can be found.The flower was so unique that people picked almost all of them. A single cutting of this plant is sold for US $5,000. Fortunately, strict protection policies have been established to protect it since 1917 when this endangered plant was once declared extinct in England.
Hot Lips
When you see a plant like this in reality, don’t get confused! No. They are not a woman’s lips! You can find these plants in countries with tropical rain forests, such as Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama. Due to the cutting down of trees, these unique and rare plants have become endangered. This plant bears a bright red flower which is similar to the lips of a woman with red lipstick.
Black Bat Flower
The black bat flower is an unusual flower that grows in the wild and tropical forests of Yunnan Province in China. It is famous for its bat-shaped black flowers. This flowering plant is often confused with a flying bat. The flower may also appear in white and brown shades. It needs specific environmental conditions to grow. This is the reason why it is an endangered species.
All the plants mentioned above are becoming nearly extinct. Hopefully, there are other unique and rare flowers left undiscovered. This proves the world is full of surprising things!
1. Where can the Lady’s Slipper be discovered currently
A. In Panama. B. In Colombia.
C. In Lancashire in England. D. In Yunnan Province in China.
2. Why are Hot Lips becoming nearly extinct

Wilma Rudolph was born in 1940 in a very large and poor African-American family in Tennessee. When she was four years old, a deadly illness made her left leg useless. She had to wear an iron leg brace. Her doctors told her she would never walk like a normal person without the brace. Yet she was lucky in having a mother who encouraged her to have faith and courage.
At nine years of age, the little girl removed the leg brace and took the first step, which her doctors had said was impossible. Then she got the idea that she would like to be the worlds greatest woman runner.
At the age of thirteen, she began to enter races, but she came in last in every race. Everyone asked her to give up. One day, however, she came in next to last. Then there came a big day when she won a race. From then on, Wilma Rudolph won every race that she entered.
In 1957, Wilma went to Tennessee State University, where she met a coach named Ed Temple. He trained her so well that in 1960 she went to the Olympic Games in Rome. There she beat a German girl named Jutta Heine, the greatest woman runner of the day. Wilma had just won two Olympic gold medals both in the 100-metre race and the 200-metre race. Then came the 400-metre relay. Wilma Rudolph had got her third Olympic gold medal in the 17th Olympic Games.
That day Wilma made history as she became the first woman to win three gold medals in the same Olympic Games. Later she said, “The triumph can’t be had without the struggle. I know what struggle is. I have spent a lifetime trying to share the importance of being a woman first in the world of sports, so that other young women have a chance to reach their dreams.”

The World Full of Eye-catching Things
The following flowers and plants might not be so eye-pleasing, but are certainly eye-catching, since they all look like some objects.
Lady’s Slipper
The lady’s slipper orchid is considered to be the rarest type of wild orchid. Now Lancashire in England is the only place where this plant can be found.The flower was so unique that people picked almost all of them. A single cutting of this plant is sold for US $5,000. Fortunately, strict protection policies have been established to protect it since 1917 when this endangered plant was once declared extinct in England.
Hot Lips
When you see a plant like this in reality, don’t get confused! No. They are not a woman’s lips! You can find these plants in countries with tropical rain forests, such as Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama. Due to the cutting down of trees, these unique and rare plants have become endangered. This plant bears a bright red flower which is similar to the lips of a woman with red lipstick.
Black Bat Flower
The black bat flower is an unusual flower that grows in the wild and tropical forests of Yunnan Province in China. It is famous for its bat-shaped black flowers. This flowering plant is often confused with a flying bat. The flower may also appear in white and brown shades. It needs specific environmental conditions to grow. This is the reason why it is an endangered species.
All the plants mentioned above are becoming nearly extinct. Hopefully, there are other unique and rare flowers left undiscovered. This proves the world is full of surprising things!
1. Where can the Lady’s Slipper be discovered currently
A. In Panama. B. In Colombia.
C. In Lancashire in England. D. In Yunnan Province in China.
2. Why are Hot Lips becoming nearly extinct
A. Forest destruction. B. Human picking.
C. Lack of awareness. D. Specific locations.

Wilma Rudolph was born in 1940 in a very large and poor African-American family in Tennessee. When she was four years old, a deadly illness made her left leg useless. She had to wear an iron leg brace. Her doctors told her she would never walk like a normal person without the brace. Yet she was lucky in having a mother who encouraged her to have faith and courage.
At nine years of age, the little girl removed the leg brace and took the first step, which her doctors had said was impossible. Then she got the idea that she would like to be the worlds greatest woman runner.
At the age of thirteen, she began to enter races, but she came in last in every race. Everyone asked her to give up. One day, however, she came in next to last. Then there came a big day when she won a race. From then on, Wilma Rudolph won every race that she entered.
In 1957, Wilma went to Tennessee State University, where she met a coach named Ed Temple. He trained her so well that in 1960 she went to the Olympic Games in Rome. There she beat a German girl named Jutta Heine, the greatest woman runner of the day. Wilma had just won two Olympic gold medals both in the 100-metre race and the 200-metre race. Then came the 400-metre relay. Wilma Rudolph had got her third Olympic gold medal in the 17th Olympic Games.
That day Wilma made history as she became the first woman to win three gold medals in the same Olympic Games. Later she said, “The triumph can’t be had without the struggle. I know what struggle is. I have spent a lifetime trying to share the importance of being a woman first in the world of sports, so that other young women have a chance to reach their dreams.”
4. What was the turning point in Wilma Rudolph’s racing career
A. When she won her first race.
B. When she came in last in every race.
C. When she got her third Olympic gold medal.
D. When she started racing at the age of thirteen.
5. What does the underlined word “triumph” in paragraph 5 most likely mean
A. Defeating someone. B. Earning a lot of money.

Recently, craftsman Qian Gaochao and his son spent more than six months making three “chicken-blood” stone carvings, which showed the taekwondo and wrestling competitions of the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022. Qian Gaochao is a national inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of the chicken-blood stone carving. He is working on the other carvings related to the Asian Games in the chicken-blood stone museum in Changhua town, Zhejiang Province.
Chicken-blood stone is one of China’s most valued decorative materials and has been used for centuries to create carved works with unique red markings. With its bright blood-red color, bright crystal-like jade texture, quality and shape, chicken-blood stone is admired all over the world.

In 2016, the Changhua stone sculpture “Haliaeetus Albicilla Duda Portrait Seal” was presented to Poland. In September 2016, 36 sets of portrait seals were given as gifts to guests who attended the 11th G20 Summit in Hangzhou.
“As a craftsman, I’m not only doing carving work but also recording the development and changes of our society and remembering the era through my carvings,” Qian Gaochao says. He has created fascinating works, many of which are related to important events in Chinese history and famous people who have made important contributions to the country.
“We are also hiring qualified people to continue to promote these traditional skills,” Qian Gaochao says. “Additionally, we often hold research activities and provide training courses, enabling more young students to understand and learn Chinese traditional culture,” he adds.
