Editor’s note: An increasing number of Chinese people, especially the young, are more willing to celebrate Western festivals. Should we celebrate foreign festivals Forum readers share their opinions. You’re welcome to add yours.
Dinah (China)
I enjoy the happy atmosphere of both Chinese and Western festivals. As long as it is meaningful for me, I will celebrate it with my boyfriend, and my parents! I like Western festivals and often celebrate them without even knowing the origins of them. Why Because what I really appreciate is just the happy atmosphere.
SharkMinnow (Canada)
Western Festivals are more like parties or games for some Chinese. Also, spending money = good for economy. Most Chinese don’t take Western festivals as seriously as their own. It’s like a game or party in my eyes. A way to blow off steam and have fun (and spend money).
Travis (UK)
As an Englishman teaching here in China for two years, my friends have got used to and enjoy celebrating my festivals. My school also likes it as well, although this year they asked me not to scare the teachers so much on Halloween. My Chinese friends enjoy taking part in my festivals, as they also learn more about my culture, and the history that goes with it…
Leesinchina (US)
Cherish your own festivals. It would be a pity if the Chinese accepted these Western days — first, because they have absolutely nothing to do with traditional Chinese culture. Second, they are a big trick by the big stores to get more money out of you. Stick to your own festivals — they actually mean something to you — rather than following western customs for no good reason.
1. What matters most according to Dinah
A. The atmosphere when celebrating festivals.
B. The people with whom to celebrate festivals.
C. Celebrating Chinese festivals with her family.
D. Celebrating Western festivals in a good atmosphere.
2. What’s the attitude of readers 2 and 4 towards celebrating Western festivals
A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Neutral. D. Negative.
3. In which section of a website can this text be most possibly found
A. Entertainment. B. Science. C. Culture. D. Education.

Second, they are a big trick by the big stores to get more money out of you.(如果中国人接受了这些西方的日子，那将是一个遗憾——首先，因为它们与中国传统文化毫无关系。其次，它们是大商店为了从你身上赚更多钱而耍的大把戏。)”可知，读者2和读者4对庆祝西方节日的态度是消极的。故选D项。

A video of a young boy waving to ask his dad for one extra hug before he drives off to work is capturing the hearts of social media users online.
Tyler Lobdell shared a 31-second clip on his TikTok page, which now has over 1.5 million views. Lobdell, a father of two, told Good Morning America he had the idea to check his doorbell camera recently when he came across the special moment and couldn’t resist watching it over and over.
“I watched it 150 times before I posted it because I’m just watching it and its making me emotional watching it and I just wanted people to feel what I felt watching it.” Lobdell said of his motivation to share the video of him and his son Isaiah.
Lobdell said even though he often showers his sons, Hudson and Isaiah, with hugs and kisses, the boys, who are now 6 and 8, still like to stop him before he leaves for work and occasionally request one more hug from him.
“They’ll catch me in the garage or come out, like Isaiah did that morning, and they’ll stop me for an extra hug,” Lobdell, an ironworker in Constantia, New York, explained. “They just do it randomly from time to time and I just love that they do that.”
“I always try to make sure that I’m reciprocating that love that they’re trying to show me,” he continued. “It’s a rough world out there and I don’t ever want my kids to ever feel that they can’t show me love or feel in any way that they’re not totally and completely loved by their parents.”
Lobdell said he encourages other parents to “be as present as possible” with their kids and take the opportunity to spend time with them because “time flies by so fast”. As for his young sons, Lobdell added that he wants them to know that no matter what they do, he’ll always support them and he’ll always be proud of them.
4. What attracted people’s attention about the video
A. Lobdell’s care for his son. B. Isaiah’s love for his father.
C. Lobdell’s parenting skills. D. Isaiah’s funny activities.
5. Why did Tyler Lobdell post the video
A. To express his gratitude. B. To attract some followers.
C. To make his son feel proud. D. To share his personal feelings.
6. What does the underlined word “reciprocating” in Paragraph 6 mean
A. Making out. B. Taking over. C. Giving back. D. Setting down.
7. What was Tyler Lobdell’s final advice to other parents
A. Be strict with their children. B. Keep their children company.
C. Show respect to their children. D. Praise and motivate their children.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲的是一个小男孩在父亲开车上班前挥手向父亲要一个额外拥抱的视频在网上俘获了社交媒体用户的心，孩子的父亲向人们解释了他发帖子的原因以及他对于父母们的建议。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A video of a young boy waving to ask his dad for one extra hug before he drives off to work is capturing the hearts of social media users online.(一个小男孩在父亲开车上班前挥手向父亲要一个额外的拥抱的视频在网上俘获了社交媒体用户的心。)”以及后文““I always try to make sure that I’m reciprocating that love that they’re trying to show me,”(“我总是努力确保我也能回报他们向我展示的爱，”)”可知视频中Isaiah对于父亲的爱吸引了人们的注意力。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段““I watched it 150 times before I posted it because I’m just watching it and its making me emotional watching it and I just wanted people to feel what I felt watching it,” Lobdell said of his motivation to share the video of him and his son Isaiah.(“在发布它之前，我看了150次，因为我只是在看它，看它让我很激动，我只是想让人们感受到我的感受。”Lobdell谈到他分享他和儿子Isaiah视频的动机时说)”可知Tyler Lobdell发布这段视频的目的是为了同更多的人分享他的感受。故选D项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词之前““I always try to make sure that I’m (“我总是努力确保)”以及划线词之后“that love that they’re trying to show me,” he continued. “It’s a rough world out there and I don’t ever want my kids to ever feel that they can’t show me love or feel in any way that they’re not totally and completely loved by their parents.”(他们试图向我展示的爱，”他继续说。“这是一个艰难的世界，我从来不希望我的孩子们觉得他们不能向我表达爱，或者觉得他们没有被父母完全爱过。”)”可知Lobdell努力确保通过自己的方式让孩子们能够感受到自己对于他们的爱的回应，让孩子们觉得他们是被父母完全爱着的，所以划线词的意思应该是“回应，回馈”，与C项Giving back(回报；回馈)意思相近。故选C项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Lobdell said he encourages other parents to “be as present as possible” with their kids and take the opportunity to spend time with them because “time flies by so fast”. (Lobdell说，他鼓励其他父母“尽可能地”和孩子在一起，并抓住机会与他们共度时光，因为“时间过得太快了”。)”可知Lobdell建议家长们尽可能地多陪伴孩子。故选B项。

While you might not realize it, the environment where you sleep can make a great difference in the actual quality of sleep that you get every night. With a few simple lifestyle changes, you can create a healthy sleep environment that helps improve your sleep quality.
Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, even on weekends, holidays and days off. Studies show that people who do so are more rested than those who sleep irregularly (不规律地).
Go to sleep only when you start to feel sleepy. If you don’t fall asleep within about 15 minutes, get up and do something relaxing. Go back to bed when you are tired.
Pay attention to what you eat and drink. Don’t go to bed either hungry or stuffed. Your discomfort might keep you up. Avoid caffeine (咖啡因) 6 hours before you sleep. Having a cup of coffee within a few hours of bed time can keep you awake for hours when you are trying to sleep. Coffee isn’t the only product containing caffeine. Avoid chocolate and tea, too. Also limit how much you drink before bed to prevent trips to the toilet at night.
Many people turn on the TV before they go to bed. TV influences your natural sleep habits by making you stay up longer than you usually would, especially if you are watching something exciting. Instead of turning on the TV, read a book. Light reading before bed can help you fall into a deep sleep quickly.
If you suffer from serious sleep problems, go to your doctor. Your doctor will help treat the problems or may advise you to see a sleep specialist.
8. What should you do to make sure you have a good sleep at weekends according to the text
A. Get up a bit later than usual. B. Go to bed at a regular time.
C. Watch some relaxing TV programs. D. Avoid drinking coffee or tea in the day.
9. What does the author advise you to do if you can’t fall asleep after lying in bed for 15 minutes
A. To drink some water. B. To do some light reading.
C. To listen to light music. D. To get up and relax.
10. What does the underlined word “stuffed” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Having slept too much. B. Having eaten too much.
C. Feeling too sad. D. Feeling too tired.
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A. What to do before going to bed. B. The importance of sleeping well.
C. How to improve your sleep quality. D. The effect of sleeping well.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过改变生活习惯来创造一个健康的睡眠环境，以提高睡眠质量。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, even on weekends, holidays and days off. Studies show that people who do so are more rested than those who sleep irregularly (不规律地).(每天在同一时间上床睡觉和起床，即使是在周末、节假日和休息日。研究表明，这样做的人比那些睡眠不规律的人休息得更好。)”可知，即使在周末、假期和休息日，也应该保持固定的作息时间。因此，为了在周末有一个好的睡眠，你应该在固定的时间上床睡觉。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“If you don’t fall asleep within about 15 minutes, get up and do something relaxing. Go back to bed when you are tired.(如果你不能在15分钟内入睡，那就起来做些放松的事情。累了就回去睡觉。)”可知，作者建议如果躺在床上15分钟后仍无法入睡，就起来做些轻松的事情，然后在感到困倦时再回到床上。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词前的“either...or”以及形容词“hungry”可推测，划线单词的意思和“hungry”相反，指的是吃得太饱。选项B“Having eaten too much.(吃得太多)”和划线单词词义相似。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“While you might not realize it, the environment where you sleep can make a great difference in the actual quality of sleep that you get every night. With a few simple lifestyle changes, you can create a healthy sleep environment that helps improve your sleep quality.(虽然你可能没有意识到，但你睡觉的环境对你每晚的实际睡眠质量有很大的影响。通过一些简单的生活方式改变，你可以创造一个健康的睡眠环境，帮助提高你的睡眠质量。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了如何通过改变生活习惯来创造一个健康的睡眠环境，以提高睡眠质量。文章提到了固定作息时间、注意饮食和饮品、避免在睡前看电视等建议，都是关于如何改善睡眠质量的。因此，文章主要讨论的是如何提高睡眠质量。故选C。
D

【名师点睛】
关于七选五的做题步骤：
1、通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。
2、详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。
3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。例如：小题4语义理解题。由前文They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment.可知，这里意思是他们说尽管这些动物可能会面临危险，但是它们喜欢一种自由的生活，选A。
4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。
在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。
5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明。主要介绍的是尽管竹子没有被广泛使用在建筑中，但竹子作为建筑材料方面有很多的优点。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：竹子被称为“穷人的材料”，即使在中国，它也不被广泛接受为现代建筑材料。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语修饰动词accepted，wide的副词为widely意为“广泛地”符合句意。故填widely。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：但竹子建造的房屋几乎是最轻的，多年来，竹子在抵御地震方面比“现代”材料更好。根据后文over the years可知为现在完成时，非限制性定语从句谓语与先行词bamboo保持一致，助动词用has。故填has become。
【38题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：与在地震中几秒钟就可能被摧毁“豆腐渣”建筑不同，竹子建筑更安全。分析句子结构可知，此空位于情态动词之后应为动词原形，destroy与句子主语that指代的先行词buildings之间为被动关系。故填be destroyed。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：与在地震中几秒钟就可能被摧毁的“豆腐渣”建筑不同，竹子建筑更安全。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词定语修饰名词building空前有副词much修饰，所以使用形容词比较级。故填safer。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：INBAR指出，如果不采取适当行动，没有安全和健康住所的人数将随着人口增长而增加。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语the number of意为“……的数量”符合句意。故填the。”
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：研究表明，竹子的强度非常好，和木头一样结实。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，strong的名词为strength意为“强度”为不可数名词。故填strength。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：此外，由于竹子的轻质和良好的弹性，竹制建筑在抵抗地震方面非常出色。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语because of表示“因为，由于”。故填of。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国古人喜欢住在竹屋里。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作定语，根据be made of意为“由……制成”可知，make与所修饰词houses之间为被动关系，所以使用过去分词形式。故填made。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意：在云南省，一些当地人仍然住在竹屋里，这样可以挡风遮雨。分析句子结构可知，此处为protect的宾语，所以使用代词的宾格形式。故填them。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在竹子资源丰富的浙江省，当地官员一直鼓励建筑师使用竹子设计建筑。分析句子结构可知，此处为连词引导的非限制性定语从句，从句中不缺主语和宾语，所以使用关系副词，先行词Zhejiang Province表地点。故填where。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Many years ago, when I was just a child, my family struggled to make ends meet. Despite our financial difficulties, I sought out ways to earn a little pocket money by offering my assistance to our neighbors.
One cold day, I knocked on the door of an elderly woman’s house and kindly asked if she needed help to clean her yard. Surprised by my presence, she looked at me with kind eyes and asked why I wasn’t in school. I shyly pointed to my worn-out coat, unable to stay warm on the freezing cold day. Touched by my situation, she allowed me to work in her yard.
As I worked hard in the yard, the lady watched quietly, sometimes giving me a kind smile. When I finished, she looked at the tidy yard and said gently, “You’ve worked really well today, but you should be in school. Promise me you’ll go back.” Then, she took out a jar of money and told me to take what I needed.
I was grateful and took enough to fix my old coat and buy some food. I kept my promise and went back to see her, sharing my school progress. Each time, she welcomed me warmly, checking my report card with interest. Whenever there was an “A”, she’d be proud and reward me with money and tasty treats.
Even though my family faced tough times, I treasured the moments with the kind lady. Her kindness and support motivated me to do well in school and in life.
I studied even harder, knowing that only through education could I change my life and that of my family. The kind lady gave me strength, urging me forward.
My efforts finally paid off. After graduating from high school, I earned an opportunity to attend a prestigious (知名的) university. Upon graduating from college, I landed a well-paid job that I enjoyed. Our family’s financial situation greatly improved as a result, and I had the means to give back to the community that once helped me. I would never forget the kind lady who gave me a chance when I needed it most.

【答案】Para 1:
One day, I was walking past a gift shop. As I glanced through the window, a small boy caught my attention. He was standing inside, gazing longingly at a stuffed animal. It reminded me of myself as a child, eager for a little something to brighten my days. Instantly, I remembered the kindness of the elderly woman who had once helped me. She had given me a chance when I needed it most, and now I wanted to pass that kindness on. I walked into the shop, determined to make the boy’s day.
Para 2:
Returning to the little boy, I presented him with the gift. His eyes widened in surprise and his face lit up with a beaming smile. “Thank you so much!” he exclaimed, hugging the stuffed animal tightly. I smiled, knowing that I had made a small but meaningful difference in his life. As I walked away, I felt a sense of fulfillment and joy. It was a reminder of the power of kindness, and how one small act can ripple out and touch the lives of others.

Editor’s note: An increasing number of Chinese people, especially the young, are more willing to celebrate Western festivals. Should we celebrate foreign festivals Forum readers share their opinions. You’re welcome to add yours.
Dinah (China)
I enjoy the happy atmosphere of both Chinese and Western festivals. As long as it is meaningful for me, I will celebrate it with my boyfriend, and my parents! I like Western festivals and often celebrate them without even knowing the origins of them. Why Because what I really appreciate is just the happy atmosphere.
SharkMinnow (Canada)
Western Festivals are more like parties or games for some Chinese. Also, spending money = good for economy. Most Chinese don’t take Western festivals as seriously as their own. It’s like a game or party in my eyes. A way to blow off steam and have fun (and spend money).
Travis (UK)
As an Englishman teaching here in China for two years, my friends have got used to and enjoy celebrating my festivals. My school also likes it as well, although this year they asked me not to scare the teachers so much on Halloween. My Chinese friends enjoy taking part in my festivals, as they also learn more about my culture, and the history that goes with it…
Leesinchina (US)
Cherish your own festivals. It would be a pity if the Chinese accepted these Western days — first, because they have absolutely nothing to do with traditional Chinese culture. Second, they are a big trick by the big stores to get more money out of you. Stick to your own festivals — they actually mean something to you — rather than following western customs for no good reason.
1. What matters most according to Dinah
A. The atmosphere when celebrating festivals.
B. The people with whom to celebrate festivals.
C. Celebrating Chinese festivals with her family.
D. Celebrating Western festivals in a good atmosphere.

A video of a young boy waving to ask his dad for one extra hug before he drives off to work is capturing the hearts of social media users online.
Tyler Lobdell shared a 31-second clip on his TikTok page, which now has over 1.5 million views. Lobdell, a father of two, told Good Morning America he had the idea to check his doorbell camera recently when he came across the special moment and couldn’t resist watching it over and over.
“I watched it 150 times before I posted it because I’m just watching it and its making me emotional watching it and I just wanted people to feel what I felt watching it.” Lobdell said of his motivation to share the video of him and his son Isaiah.
Lobdell said even though he often showers his sons, Hudson and Isaiah, with hugs and kisses, the boys, who are now 6 and 8, still like to stop him before he leaves for work and occasionally request one more hug from him.
“They’ll catch me in the garage or come out, like Isaiah did that morning, and they’ll stop me for an extra hug,” Lobdell, an ironworker in Constantia, New York, explained. “They just do it randomly from time to time and I just love that they do that.”
“I always try to make sure that I’m reciprocating that love that they’re trying to show me,” he continued. “It’s a rough world out there and I don’t ever want my kids to ever feel that they can’t show me love or feel in any way that they’re not totally and completely loved by their parents.”
Lobdell said he encourages other parents to “be as present as possible” with their kids and take the opportunity to spend time with them because “time flies by so fast”. As for his young sons, Lobdell added that he wants them to know that no matter what they do, he’ll always support them and he’ll always be proud of them.
4. What attracted people’s attention about the video
A. Lobdell’s care for his son. B. Isaiah’s love for his father.
C. Lobdell’s parenting skills. D. Isaiah’s funny activities.
5. Why did Tyler Lobdell post the video
A. To express his gratitude. B. To attract some followers.
C. To make his son feel proud. D. To share his personal feelings.
6. What does the underlined word “reciprocating” in Paragraph 6 mean
A. Making out. B. Taking over. C. Giving back. D. Setting down.
7. What was Tyler Lobdell’s final advice to other parents
A. Be strict with their children. B. Keep their children company.
C. Show respect to their children. D. Praise and motivate their children.

While you might not realize it, the environment where you sleep can make a great difference in the actual quality of sleep that you get every night. With a few simple lifestyle changes, you can create a healthy sleep environment that helps improve your sleep quality.
Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, even on weekends, holidays and days off. Studies show that people who do so are more rested than those who sleep irregularly (不规律地).
Go to sleep only when you start to feel sleepy. If you don’t fall asleep within about 15 minutes, get up and do something relaxing. Go back to bed when you are tired.
Pay attention to what you eat and drink. Don’t go to bed either hungry or stuffed. Your discomfort might keep you up. Avoid caffeine (咖啡因) 6 hours before you sleep. Having a cup of coffee within a few hours of bed time can keep you awake for hours when you are trying to sleep. Coffee isn’t the only product containing caffeine. Avoid chocolate and tea, too. Also limit how much you drink before bed to prevent trips to the toilet at night.
Many people turn on the TV before they go to bed. TV influences your natural sleep habits by making you stay up longer than you usually would, especially if you are watching something exciting. Instead of turning on the TV, read a book. Light reading before bed can help you fall into a deep sleep quickly.
If you suffer from serious sleep problems, go to your doctor. Your doctor will help treat the problems or may advise you to see a sleep specialist.
8. What should you do to make sure you have a good sleep at weekends according to the text
A. Get up a bit later than usual. B. Go to bed at a regular time.
C. Watch some relaxing TV programs. D. Avoid drinking coffee or tea in the day.
9. What does the author advise you to do if you can’t fall asleep after lying in bed for 15 minutes
A. To drink some water. B. To do some light reading.
C. To listen to light music. D. To get up and relax.
10. What does the underlined word “stuffed” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Having slept too much. B. Having eaten too much.
C. Feeling too sad. D. Feeling too tired.
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A. What to do before going to bed. B. The importance of sleeping well.
C. How to improve your sleep quality. D. The effect of sleeping well.
D
Since springing up in 2008, Chinese SNS websites have been growing rapidly. While building perfect and complete platforms, SNS websites have been attracting a greatly increasing number of users as well as enormous advertisers’ attention.
The birth of SNS websites brought us a new concept of socializing online using one’s real identity. Furthermore, the popularity of SNS websites has made real-identity online interaction (相互作用) a daily routine for almost all the Internet users. Blogs, photos, virtual gifts, games and other SNS applications have increased real emotional interaction among Internet users.
Obviously, real-identity online communication has become a major competitive advantage of SNS websites. Many experts conclude that SNS websites have created a network of real socializing and have solved people’s daily problems in communication. Therefore, solving real life issues and keeping friendly interpersonal relationship are the critical factors that ensure the survival and growth of SNS websites. Data report shows that Renren. com has helped 63 users find a friend every second during the whole year of 2009 and created a billion friendships.
In addition, celebrities, institutions and organizations have gradually become members of SNS websites. Information sharing becomes more diverse, and the emergence (出现) of social games satisfies users’ need for interactive entertainment.
By gaining users in 2009, the SNS profit model has gradually grown clearer. According to the CNNIC annual report, 80% of SNS profit comes from Internet advertisement, 15% from VAS and another 5% from other sources.
As the real marketing value of SNS was discovered by more businesses, many successful partnerships emerged.

Many years ago, when I was just a child, my family struggled to make ends meet. Despite our financial difficulties, I sought out ways to earn a little pocket money by offering my assistance to our neighbors.
One cold day, I knocked on the door of an elderly woman’s house and kindly asked if she needed help to clean her yard. Surprised by my presence, she looked at me with kind eyes and asked why I wasn’t in school. I shyly pointed to my worn-out coat, unable to stay warm on the freezing cold day. Touched by my situation, she allowed me to work in her yard.
As I worked hard in the yard, the lady watched quietly, sometimes giving me a kind smile. When I finished, she looked at the tidy yard and said gently, “You’ve worked really well today, but you should be in school. Promise me you’ll go back.” Then, she took out a jar of money and told me to take what I needed.
I was grateful and took enough to fix my old coat and buy some food. I kept my promise and went back to see her, sharing my school progress. Each time, she welcomed me warmly, checking my report card with interest. Whenever there was an “A”, she’d be proud and reward me with money and tasty treats.
Even though my family faced tough times, I treasured the moments with the kind lady. Her kindness and support motivated me to do well in school and in life.
I studied even harder, knowing that only through education could I change my life and that of my family. The kind lady gave me strength, urging me forward.
My efforts finally paid off. After graduating from high school, I earned an opportunity to attend a prestigious (知名的) university. Upon graduating from college, I landed a well-paid job that I enjoyed. Our family’s financial situation greatly improved as a result, and I had the means to give back to the community that once helped me. I would never forget the kind lady who gave me a chance when I needed it most.
