The Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, with Awakening of Insects being the third. It falls on March 5 and lasts until March 19 this year. In ancient Chinese stories, when the loud spring thunder cracks (破裂) the sky, it wakes up the sleeping insects. 1
This time marks the start of spring and brings a rise in temperature and rainfall. 2 The warm weather and rainfall also make the earth come alive again. There is more rain and sunlight, which are great for farming. Farmers say, “Once the Awakening of Insects comes, spring plowing never rests. “Chinese people in ancient times observed that in the first five days, peach blossoms bloomed, in the second five days, black-naped oriole (仓庚) birds started singing, and in the third, eagles hid but pigeons and doves appeared.
3 One popular one is eating pears. Some believe pears help cool the body, especially when the weather gets hot.

Friends are important in our lives. But not all of friends stand the test of time. We spoke about friendships with Marisa Franco, writer of the book How Can You Make And Keep Friends. Here are four tips to remember if you’re losing a friend.
Accept changes in life
Losing friends is a part of life. 5 Franco said: “Nobody really wants the friendship to end, but people get busy and can’t keep the friendship any more.” It doesn’t mean we are not qualified (合格的) friends. Instead, it makes us value what we have at present.
6
“When being with friends, the relationship will get worse if you keep leaving something unsaid instead of communicating with each other positively (积极地).” Franco said. We might be afraid of having arguments. But if we think about it and talk in peace, it can be a sign that you care enough to fix the friendship.
Allow yourself to feel sad
7 Allow yourself to feel those feelings and be patient with yourself. Franco said, “When society doesn’t value a relationship that you’re losing, you have trouble grieving.” It makes the grief last longer. We should think like “Of course, I’m sad, I lost someone I’m close to”. Instead of being like “What’s wrong with me ” “And you can’t put a timeline on grief. Grief is just a process of feeling emotion over time.” Franco said.
Be kind to yourself along the way
Franco said it’s important to forgive (原谅) yourself for not getting over the loss of a friendship. 8 But don’t go into a new friendship feeling afraid. “Your understanding of friendship in your brain isn’t just colored by this one experience.” Franco said.
A．Make the unsaid said.
B．Things just keep coming and going.
C．Solve problems as quickly as possible.
D．One way to make you feel better again is to make new friends.
E．Normally, when a friendship ends, there is a process of feeling sad.
【答案】5．B 6．A 7．E 8．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章讲述了当你失去朋友的时候，应该怎么做。
5．根据“Losing friends is a part of life.”可知，前文提到了失去朋友是生活的一部分，因此设空处应该说正确看待得失，选项B“事情总是来来去去。”符合语境。故选B。
6．根据“When being with friends, the relationship will get worse if you keep leaving something unsaid instead of communicating with each other positively (积极地).”可知，这一段讲述了要敢于说出想说的话，选项A“把没说的话说出来。”符合语境。故选A。
7．根据“Allow yourself to feel those feelings and be patient with yourself.”可知，后文讲述了会悲伤，选项E“通常，当一段友谊结束时，会有一个感到悲伤的过程。”符合语境。故选E。
8．根据“But don’t go into a new friendship feeling afraid.”可知，后文提到了要交新的朋友，选项D“让你感觉更好的一个方法就是交新朋友。”符合语境。故选D。

Five Healthy Habits That Are Easy to Add to Your Day

Focus on your breath
Want to reduce stress and improve your health at once Simply spend a few minutes taking long, deep breaths in and out of your nose. In as little as 90 seconds, deep breathing lowers blood pressure and reduces heart rate, according to research.
Move your body
Being sitting still for a long time is not only harmful to your body but also your mind, increasing your risk of death. Moving your body for even five minutes at a time can make a difference. In fact, a 2020 study found that just 11 minutes of exercise every day, increases your lifetime. 13 As long as you keep your body in movement, the kind of exercise doesn’t matter.
Connect with a friend
14 It’s always better to meet up with a friend or loved one in person, and it can stop loneliness which is connected with heart illness and early death. You can talk with them by asking how their days are going and volunteering information about your own days.
15
Have you ever been watching TV and wanted a snack but didn’t want to take the time to wash the fresh fruit in your fridge, so you caught a bag of chips instead I know I have. Convenience is an important reason for making healthy choices, so taking five minutes to prepare fresh foods for snacking can be helpful.
Take a quick walk
16 And a newer research has found that even a little walking helps. So just one five-minute walk around your neighborhood or inside your office building can improve your health.
Unlike other ways for better health, such as giving up chocolate forever, the five-minute activities listed above are more practical. Keep practicing and they can become healthy habits.
A．Prepare healthy snacks.
B．Dance to your favorite songs.

Do you like watching films Today let’s know about some special films.
Animation (动画片)
Animation is one of the oldest special kinds in the film world. It began in the early 1900s. It is not difficult but it does take a lot of time and hard work.
First, someone paints or draws a picture. Then they take a picture of it. They make another picture, which is just a little bit different from the first one, and take another picture. 17
Animated films of any kind take a lot of time to make, but in the end, these special films are touching, funny or simply amazing.
IMAX films
IMAX is short for “Image Maximum (巨幕电影)”. When you watch an IMAX film, you don’t sit up—you lie back. 18 The screen is above, in front of and around you.
In order to create its effects, IMAX films use different theatres, cameras and film from other movies. Most
IMAX theatres are in museums, science centers and theme (主题) parks. The IMAX camera is very large and uses a lot of film. It is also very heavy. 19
3-D films
3-D films are not new. They first appeared in 1903. The inventors wanted viewers to feel like they were really inside the movie they were watching! When you watch a 3-D movie, you feel as if the people on the screen are close enough to touch and that the airplane flying at you is flying right off the screen.
20 Usually, one side of the glasses is red and the other is light blue. If you look at the image below with these special glasses, you’ll see the 3-D effect.
A．This is why most IMAX films are only about 40—60 minutes long.
B．You can also stand up if you like.
C．This is repeated at least 12 times to make one second of film!

What comes to mind when you hear the word “instrument” The violin, piano or guitar However, we all have an instrument that we are born with-our voices.
My school choral (合唱的) program started a cappella group (无伴奏合唱团). 33 The beats and other parts of music, which are usually taken up by instruments like drums, piano, or guitar, are all made by the human voice. The group has been made up of many musically talented students every year. 34 However, not all people see choral music in a good way. Some may think that singers are people who are not able to play a real “instrument”. 35 Singers in the cappella group spend just as much time on their voices and have also achieved great success.

It holds its own concerts, wins national competitions, and even brings out its own music albums (专辑). Each singer in the group is unique in their own way, with some having amazing singing abilities, others doing cool beatboxing (节奏口技), and some even making up their own songs.

Brazilians usually stand very close to each other while speaking. 46 If you go to a business meeting, you are not expected to take a gift. Yet, if you are invited to someone’s house, you should take a gift. 47
If you are invited to dinner, arrive at least 30 minutes late, but always dress well, because a person’s appearance can be very important to Brazilians.

Friends are important in our lives. But not all of friends stand the test of time. We spoke about friendships with Marisa Franco, writer of the book How Can You Make And Keep Friends. Here are four tips to remember if you’re losing a friend.
Accept changes in life
Losing friends is a part of life. 5 Franco said: “Nobody really wants the friendship to end, but people get busy and can’t keep the friendship any more.” It doesn’t mean we are not qualified (合格的) friends. Instead, it makes us value what we have at present.
6
“When being with friends, the relationship will get worse if you keep leaving something unsaid instead of communicating with each other positively (积极地).” Franco said. We might be afraid of having arguments. But if we think about it and talk in peace, it can be a sign that you care enough to fix the friendship.
Allow yourself to feel sad
7 Allow yourself to feel those feelings and be patient with yourself. Franco said, “When society doesn’t value a relationship that you’re losing, you have trouble grieving.” It makes the grief last longer. We should think like “Of course, I’m sad, I lost someone I’m close to”. Instead of being like “What’s wrong with me ” “And you can’t put a timeline on grief. Grief is just a process of feeling emotion over time.” Franco said.
Be kind to yourself along the way
Franco said it’s important to forgive (原谅) yourself for not getting over the loss of a friendship. 8 But don’t go into a new friendship feeling afraid. “Your understanding of friendship in your brain isn’t just colored by this one experience.” Franco said.
A．Make the unsaid said.
B．Things just keep coming and going.
C．Solve problems as quickly as possible.
D．One way to make you feel better again is to make new friends.
E．Normally, when a friendship ends, there is a process of feeling sad.

First, you should wear at least three layers (层) of clothing. 9
You should also visit Chagan Lake for at least three days. If you don’t, what’s the point You may have to drive three hours and that all you get is a day of skiing (滑雪) and a day of playing in the snow. 10 It’s not worth it.

B．Chagan Lake is well worth visiting.

Convenience is an important reason for making healthy choices, so taking five minutes to prepare fresh foods for snacking can be helpful.
Take a quick walk
16 And a newer research has found that even a little walking helps. So just one five-minute walk around your neighborhood or inside your office building can improve your health.

Do you like watching films Today let’s know about some special films.
Animation (动画片)
Animation is one of the oldest special kinds in the film world. It began in the early 1900s. It is not difficult but it does take a lot of time and hard work.
First, someone paints or draws a picture. Then they take a picture of it. They make another picture, which is just a little bit different from the first one, and take another picture. 17
Animated films of any kind take a lot of time to make, but in the end, these special films are touching, funny or simply amazing.
IMAX films
IMAX is short for “Image Maximum (巨幕电影)”. When you watch an IMAX film, you don’t sit up—you lie back. 18 The screen is above, in front of and around you.
In order to create its effects, IMAX films use different theatres, cameras and film from other movies. Most IMAX theatres are in museums, science centers and theme (主题) parks. The IMAX camera is very large and uses a lot of film. It is also very heavy. 19
3-D films
3-D films are not new. They first appeared in 1903. The inventors wanted viewers to feel like they were really inside the movie they were watching! When you watch a 3-D movie, you feel as if the people on the screen are close enough to touch and that the airplane flying at you is flying right off the screen.
20 Usually, one side of the glasses is red and the other is light blue. If you look at the image below with these special glasses, you’ll see the 3-D effect.
A．This is why most IMAX films are only about 40—60 minutes long.
B．You can also stand up if you like.
C．This is repeated at least 12 times to make one second of film!
D．You don’t look at a screen in front of you.
E．To watch 3-D films, you must wear special glasses.

We may try a new sport like skating and end up falling down a lot. We may see a different kind of art and be completely disappointed (失望的).

If we try a new kind of music, we may regret we didn’t find it sooner. We can see a new kind of art and may be surprised at its beauty.

What comes to mind when you hear the word “instrument” The violin, piano or guitar However, we all have
an instrument that we are born with-our voices.
My school choral (合唱的) program started a cappella group (无伴奏合唱团). 33 The beats and other parts of music, which are usually taken up by instruments like drums, piano, or guitar, are all made by the human voice. The group has been made up of many musically talented students every year. 34 However, not all people see choral music in a good way. Some may think that singers are people who are not able to play a real “instrument”. 35 Singers in the cappella group spend just as much time on their voices and have also achieved great success. My school’s Honors cappella group is famous across the state. They perform in cities around the nation every year. It holds its own concerts, wins national competitions, and even brings out its own music albums (专辑). Each singer in the group is unique in their own way, with some having amazing singing abilities, others doing cool beatboxing (节奏口技), and some even making up their own songs.
36 And our voices are the most enjoyable instrument there is.
A．Many students interview for this popular group, hoping to become the school’s next rising star.
B．But that is far from the truth.
C．Music is a form of art in which all types of instruments can join in.
D．This is a special musical group that produces songs simply with their voices, with no other instrument required!
E．Singing groups give students the opportunities to shine.

If you get COVID-19, you may have a fever. Here are some don’ts to help you get through the fever.
Don’t forget to drink water. A fever increases your breathing rate (频率). And you cool your body by sweating (出汗) a lot. 49 What is worse, people often drink less water during a fever, but to have wine, soda or cold drinks. These are bad for health.

Don’t take too much medicine. Taking medicine is helpful. However, taking too much medicine can cause serious disease and even death. You’d better follow the doctor’s advice.

Besides the tips above, having more food also helps a lot. A fever makes your metabolism (新陈代谢) faster, and more food will offer you more energy. 52
A．Don’t stay up all night.
B．Do not wear too many clothes.
C．Both can cause your body to lose water.
D．So what do you need to pay attention to at this time

（2024·湖南湘潭·一模）On the fourth Sunday of every November, most Americans get together around the dinner table to celebrate Thanksgiving. Special traditions in the US have been around for many years. 73 These are four popular Thanksgiving traditions and how they started.
74 The first Thanksgiving meal was in the autumn of 1621 when the first travelers from England celebrated their first harvest (收获). But it wasn’t made into an official (官方的) holiday until 1863. The first large meal had turkey, fruits and vegetables, which are still common today.
75 Historians say the first travelers invited Native Americans (美洲印第安人) to the meal to thank them for teaching them how to grow food. Today at the large meal, friends and family will also say what they are most thankful for.
Every year, there is a macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. The parade (游行) includes very large balloons that look like cartoon characters and beautiful floats (花车) that carry famous people. There are also many musical performances to watch. This parade started in 1924, and today over 44 million people watch it on TV or in New York City.

Chinese writer Hai Ya’s The Space-Time Painter won the Hugo Award (雨果奖) for Best Novelette on October 21, 2023. He became the third Chinese writer to win a Hugo award after Liu Cixin in 2015 and Hao Jingfang in 2016.
When creating The Space-Time Painter, Hai Ya got his idea from a famous painting, A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains (《千里江山图》). 85 Based on the life of Wang, Hai created a painter named Zhao Ximeng. After many hard times, Zhao’s mind left his physical body and entered a space, a modern policeman was trying to solve a case (案件) about an ancient painting.
Hai Ya’s story with science fiction began in his childhood. “When I was a child, the bookstore in my hometown helped create a beautiful garden in my mind that belonged to me only. 86 ” Hai Ya told Beijing Youth Daily. He added that science fiction opened a new world for him as a kid.
87 These two styles seem opposite: One looks back at the past, and the other faces the future. However, we can find a perfect balance in Hai Ya’s works. “If we only imagine the future and things in space like rockets, it will only limit (限制) our imagination,” Hai Ya told Shenzhen Special Zone Daily. “I don’t think history is something completely in the past. It is flowing (流动的), and we can make predictions about the future by looking back at history. History is also a part of our future,” he added.

How to Improve Your Reading
Learning how to read well in English might not be an easy task. But it’s something you’ll have to do on your language learning journey. Reading well in English is useful for many reasons, not only for taking tests. If you want to improve your reading in English, the followings are just for you!
Choose right reading materials (材料) .
There are so many choices! There are textbooks and graded readers, but there are also a lot more books you
can read. 89 Here is a good rule to follow: choose reading materials where you understand at least 80% of the content (内容) .
Be intentional (意图明确的) .
Being intentional means doing something on purpose with a reason in mind. With reading, you need to be intentional by setting a reading aim. Decide on a certain number of pages you want to read each day. 90 To make sure your daily practice gets done, spare some time and put it in your study plan!
91
Reading can both introduce you to new/vocabulary (词汇) and teach you how to use them. Many words in English are often used together in a consistent (相互连贯的) way. Reading groups of words, or words that go together, will help you better understand how to use your new vocabulary.
Don’t try to understand everything.
As you’re practicing your reading, you need to accept the fact that you might not understand every single word, and that’s OK! Your brain can’t learn so many new things at one time. It’s more important to get the big picture of what you are reading. 92
A．Read word groups.
B．You mustn’t read word by word.
C．Don’t choose a book that is too easy or too difficult.
D．You could also be intentional with planning a time to read.
E．And you can go back to check the new things you don’t understand later.
