On March 20, I participated in the Dance World Cup 2024 Korea Qualifiers. As a Korean student, I performed a Chinese ethnic dance. Everyone wondered why, and my parents asked me, “Why didn’t you perform ballet or traditional Korean dance ” Well, this story began when I was 5 years old. At that time, my family moved to Dalian, Liaoning. To develop a special skill, I explored various after-school classes. Among all the options available to me, Chinese dance attracted me the most. The nice dance studio and beautiful costumes all seemed to call out to me, making me eager to try everything.
Learning Chinese dance was indeed challenging, especially when I was practicing the basics, which require a high level of physical flexibility, strength and accuracy. For example, practicing complicated steps repeatedly to achieve accuracy and coordination(协调)can be tiring. However, the moment I mastered a dance routine and performed it onstage, I felt incredibly confident and joyful. Later, I had to return to Korea for school and say goodbye to Chinese dance. After I turned 15, I happened to meet a Chinese dance teacher who had opened a studio in Korea. Without doubt, I signed up in her classes. Although I struggled with some of the difficult dance moves due to the long break, my passion for Chinese dance remained unchanged. Seeing myself in the dance costume again in front of the mirror, I felt like I had regained the unique confidence I had 10 years ago.
In February, I decided to participate in the Dance World Cup and perform a Chinese ethnic dance. I won the gold medal in the competition’s world ethnic dance category. Through this competition, my love for Chinese dance grew even stronger, and I was delighted to show Chinese culture to a broader Korean audience.
4. What did the author’s parents think about her choice of dance
A. Wonderful. B. Acceptable. C. Inspiring. D. Surprising.
5. What’s the author’s difficulty in learning Chinese dance
A. Lacking confidence on stage. B. Adapting to the life routine in China.
C. Meeting high standards of the basics. D. Having too many after-school classes.
6. Why did the author return to Chinese dance
A. To open a dance studio in Korea. B. For her love for Chinese dance.
C. To win a medal in the competition. D. For the popularity of Chinese culture.
7. What can be the best title for the text
A Embracing Chinese Culture in Dance B. Performing on a Worldwide Stage
C. Exchanges Between China and Korea D. Ups and Downs of Chinese Dances
C
Children do not laugh for joy. Scientific studies, including my own, show that there is something much deeper than joy in a child’s laughter. I find that it is closely connected to brain and personality development: children laugh for very different reasons at different stages of development.
Laughter begins soon after birth. Babies learn to laugh because they want to copy their parents expressions, and to receive attention and praise from them. This is the way babies learn everything at first: through copying and receiving attention and praise of adults around them.
But as they grow, they learn to distinguish their own person from their parents and the world around them. Once they begin to behave on their own — from age 2 to 5 — they begin to feel something new for the first time: certain things may seem cold, strange, or out of place, and this shocks, confuses and amazes them. This is where laughter comes in: after a moment of hesitation, they understand that what seemed frightening or unexpected is actually harmless.
For instance, a child laughs when they see their father with a funny clown nose. Why Because for a second they felt embarrassed: that nose is not a “live” nose. When they understand it was just dad’s joke, they calm down and laugh. They may also laugh when their older brother makes a silly face, and the process is the same.
From age 5 or 6 and up, children learn to handle abstract (抽象的) ideas, meaning they can grasp and “get” jokes. Before that, they are at the earlier stage of being self-centered, which hinders their understanding of others’ reasoning. But once they overcome it, their laughter process is the same as that of adults.
These three stages of laughter development are good indicators of child’s mental growth and development.
8. Why do babies laugh soon after birth
A. They are expressing their happiness. B. They are showing their personality.
C. They are learning their parents’ behavior. D. They are giving praise to their parents.
9. What’s the babies’ mental process of laughing from age 2 to 5
A. They feel amazed, understand and laugh. B. They feel harmless, hesitate and laugh.
C. They hesitate, feel frightened and laugh. D. They understand, feel shocked and laugh.
10. Why does the author mention the father and the brother in paragraph 4
A. To give examples. B. To provide methods.
C. To make comparisons. D. To offer suggestions.
11. What does the underlined word “hinders” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Forms. B. Deepens. C. Reflects. D. Prevents.
D
Wake up energetically at 6 am exercise for over an hour after freshening up, and study productively throughout the day. This daily schedule is frequently featured in vlogs on social media with the theme of “self-discipline (自律)”.
But when trying out such a schedule many of us may feel lacking in energy. Is it just because we are lazy Why do some people seem to have so much energy There’s a whole lot you can explore about your energy levels.
Genetic differences, to start with, can significantly influence our energy levels. A tiny part in our DNA called SNPs can help to explain 8.4 percent of cases of feeling tired, according to a 2018 study.
The food you eat also gives you energy. However, there’s an often-forgotten element —vitamin D. A study published in 2019 in the journal Nutrients noted that older adults with reduced vitamin D levels experienced state of being tired more than those with normal levels. You can get enough amount of it by sunbathing or having enough vitamin-D-rich foods, such as fish, eggs and milk.
Another analysis published in Nutrients in 2020 found that eating foods high in a certain fat is linked to too much daytime sleepiness. These foods probably include some of your favorites: butter, cheese, ice cream, and fried foods.
Even if a workout leaves you in sweat and out of breath, exercise can actually increase your energy. ”When you exercise, you release hormones (激素),” US expert Sabrena Jo told the Health website. “This hormone actually tells our bodies to forget feelings of pain and tiredness while helping blood flow to large muscles.” This “excitement” in your body can last for several hours. Exercise helps, but only to a point. Those who exercise too frequently may experience negative impacts on their energy levels.
12. What affects our energy levels according to the 2018 study
A. Self-discipline. B. The daily schedule.
C. Productive study. D. A certain part of DNA.
13. What did the study in 2019 find
A. Vitamin D is a major energy source. B. People feel sleepy due to a certain fat.
C. Vitamin D levels is related to energy levels. D. People often forget to have Vitamin D.
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The more exercise, the better. B. Sweat has negative impacts on energy levels.
C. Adjusting breath rate releases hormones. D. Proper exercise reduces feeling of tiredness.
15. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Ways to improve energy levels. B. Elements influencing energy levels.
C. Balanced nutrients in daily foods. D. Genetic differences benefiting our health.

On arriving home after school, Dean rushed into his room, shut the door and turned on his computer.
Like many teenage boys, 17-year-old Dean was addicted to the digital world, spending countless hours on his computer playing games and surfing the Internet. The only sounds were the clicking of his keyboard and the occasional excited shout. Days passed, and Dean’ grades began to suffer. He skipped meals, lost sleep, and ignored his friends. His eyes were always red and dull as if he were lost in another world.
Dean’s parents, seeing the worsening situation, repeatedly advised him to take a break and focus on his studies. However, their words fell on deaf ears. The frequent conflicts between Dean and his parents grew increasingly tense, leading to a violent argument one day.
“You’re always on that computer! When are you going to do something productive with your life ” shouted Dean’s father, a mixture of concern and anger in his voice.
Dean sat in his chair, eyes fixed on the screen. He didn’t even look up as he replied, “I’m fine. I’m happy.”
The father rushed toward Dean and firmly turned down the computer.
“No! Why did you do that ” Dean yelled, jumping to his feet. His heart pounded with a mix of anger and panic.
“Because you need to get out of this virtual world and start living in the real one!” the father shouted, his voice shaking.
A wave of anger swept over Dean. “You don’t understand! This is my life!” He stormed out of the house, vowing (发誓) never to return.
He went into a nearby Internet cafe (网吧). There he spent the next three days and nights lost in the thrill of gaming.

47. Paragraph 1:
As the days passed, Dean gradually used up his pocket money. The thrill of gaming began to fade, replaced by a growing sense of unease and hunger. The Internet cafe, once a haven, now felt cramped and suffocating. His eyes, once glued to the screen, now felt heavy and strained, a constant reminder of his excessive indulgence. He couldn’t ignore the pangs of guilt that gnawed at his conscience, knowing that he had abandoned his responsibilities and the people who cared for him.
Paragraph 2:
In the depths of his despair, a familiar voice called out to him. It was his mother, her voice tinged with worry but also with unwavering love. “Dean, it’s time to come back,” she said softly, tears glistening in her eyes. The words pierced through Dean’s fog of anger and addiction, reminding him of the warmth and comfort that awaited him at home. For the first time in days, he felt a pang of longing for the real world, for the people who cared for him. Slowly, he stood up, turning off the computer for the last time, ready to face the challenges of the real world with renewed determination.
