“The water will turn to steam, which will power cars.”
“Yeah, that's a really cool idea.”
This conversation is part of a lesson about technologies that reduce planet-heating pollution. It was lectured, in a brand-new way, by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Bloomington High School.
Climate change is the story of today's young people's lives. But Milks says, “Our students need to know not just the stuff we hear about in the news, but also the actual difference we can make in our shared future.” So, she teaches in such an innovative way.
Creativity is at the core of her lesson. After students learn the basics of climate engineering, which covers a range of strategies, including reflecting sunlight back into space and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, they’ re asked to“come up with interesting wild ideas” to slow global warming. In the first round of brainstorming, students imagined lots of ways to reflect light back into the atmosphere, like covering the desert in shiny glitter (发光物). Next, students are asked to consider the potential limitations and risks to their ideas. Take glitter in the desert, for example:“How are we going to make sure that the glitter doesn't get eaten by the rock pocket mouse or snakes ” Milks asks. The student suggests making the glitter large and smooth enough so it won't be eaten by animals or otherwise harm them. For their final assignment, students present their concepts, including their anticipated benefits and risks.
Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor at Indiana University, who carefully watch the whole lesson, says, “The neat thing about seeing all of these ideas come out of the classroom is it's not I can't do it. It's we can do it. Humans, when they get together, can do amazing things. And that's what gives me hope.”
24. Why does Kirstin Milks lecture in an innovative way
A. She's bettering ways to power cars.
B. She's inspiring students to address real problems.
C. She's making science classes more accessible.
D. She's helping students stay informed of climate change.
25. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. Procedures of a lesson. B. The core value of creativity.
C. Ideas of different students. D. The key concept of solutions.
26. How is the last paragraph mainly developed
A. By defining a concept. B. By quoting an expert.
C. By making a comparison. D. By providing an example.
27. Which best describes Milks' way of teaching
A. It ignores practical application.B. It focuses on theoretical knowledge.
C. It encourages creative problem-solving.D. It highlights the risks of climate change.
C
For millions of years, bees, moths and other pollinators have used scents(香气) to locate flowers and transfer pollen(花粉) to any flowers they later visit. But something is changing today. When the scents of flowers interact with certain air pollutants(污染物) at night, key scents are destroyed. Moths and other nighttime pollinators may find it hard to recognize the flowers they were seeking, researchers show.
The Seattle team conducted field and lab tests with a plant — the pale evening primrose. Ecologist Jeremy Chan put bags over pale evening primroses to trap the flowers’ scent. Then he took the scent back to the lab, along with some moths. They released the primrose scent and moths into a wind tunnel that could mimic conditions in an outdoor field. At once, they watched the moths easily flying straight upwind and tracking the scent. But it was different when pollutants, like ozone and nitrogen dioxide, were added to the mix. Now, the moths flew in a“Z” line. They seemed to be seeking the scent — often without success.
The team then decided to test its findings in nature at night. The result was the same. When this scent was mixed with the pollutants, moths’ visits dropped. Some moths even never found a single flower during the tests. Besides, the same reactions could hurt flowers’ scents by day. But because sunlight can break down ozone, the problem is likely more serious for night pollinators.
As Earth’ s climate warms, it’ s likely that a mix of pollutants will continue to climb. Such conditions could worsen the pollution threat to flowers' scents and plant pollination. “As we know, pollination is important to food growers”, noted Joel Thornton. He’ s an atmospheric scientist in the team. He said pollution could pose a new type of threat to farming.
28. Why do moths have trouble finding out flowers today
A. Flowers' scents interrupt moth.
B. Pollutants affect flowers' scents.
C. Flowers are not available at night.
D. Flowers are changing their scents.
29. How did the researchers get the findings
A. By monitoring moths' behaviors.B. By detecting the primrose scent.
C. By analyzing the types of pollutants.D. By comparing scents with pollutants.
30. What did Joel Thornton think of the findings
A. Amusing. B. Promising. C. Satisfying. D. Worrying.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Pollinators: Lost in PollutantsB. Scents: Gone with the Wind
C. Pollinators: Master of a GardenD. Scents: Nature's Secret Language
D
Are you eyebrow blind TikTok users seem to think so— many have complained on the platform about makeup wearers’ apparent inability to spot whether they’ re blindly following makeup trends or wearing what looks good on their faces. Though“eyebrow blindness” and other types of“beauty blindness” aren't exactly considered mental health trouble, people's tendency to follow trends— even when they look silly or take risks doing so— is definitely a real phenomenon.
So, what does psychology say about trend following First, following trends isn't a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, it’ s perfectly normal. The reason for trend following relates to humans’ core need to belong to a social group and connect with others. Multiple psychological frameworks argue that human connections are as important as basics like access to food and shelter because humans evolved (进化) to rely on one another for survival.
But why do trends themselves have such a pull “Our brains are hardwired to notice what's unusual,” Rutledge says. Thus, we notice outliers and attention-grabbers, making trends even more appealing for those bold enough to follow them.
No one is exempt from following crazes, noticing trends, or signaling their real belonging to social groups. But one group in particular is even easier to follow trends— even risky ones: Tweens, teens, and young adults. As children start the road toward adult independence, they look for ways to express their individuality. This can produce sometimes desperate attempts to prove affiliation(隶属关系) with socially credible in-groups and can fuel desire to stand out with the help of trends.
So, next time you put on makeup— or get dressed, order a meal in public, or purchase a vehicle— consider that your decision may not be as personalized as you may think. “It's really just an inborn response, one that can be explained by our need to fit in with or stand out from the crowd.” says Rutledge.
32. According to the first paragraph, a beauty blind person might .
A. oppose makeup trends publicly
B. follow makeup trends uncritically
C. rely on social media for makeup advice
D. take risks with untested beauty products
33. What's a primary motivation of trend following
A. Financial profit. B. Social connection.
C. Artistic expression. D. Character weakness.
34. Which can best replace the underlined words“exempt from” in paragraph 4
A. Free of. B. Subject to. C. Exposed to. D. Concerned about.
35. What might Rutledge think of trend following
A. It's a personalized choice. B. It mirrors people's mental health.
C. It results from lack of self-confidence.D. It's a natural response to social signals.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
What Does Our Body Language Reveal
36 People tend to judge us far more on our physical appearance, including our mannerisms, than by what comes out of our mouths. To give the right impression, it's important to understand what we are conveying non-verbally and how our unconscious signals are being received by the people we interact with.
Smiling is a powerful tool in your body language collection. Perhaps you smile a lot in the hope of appearing friendly. 37 In some Asian cultures, smiling too much is seen as a signal that you' re not a serious person and may lose you some respect.
If you' re trying to hide nervousness you'd better avoid smiling too much, too. Also be aware that nervous people often hug themselves, rub their forehead, and shift their body weight from one foot to another to create a slight rocking motion. 38
If you' re trying to show that you are listening sympathetically to what someone has to say, try tipping your head slightly and nodding very slightly. This gesture implies you are listening with interest. If you' re talking to someone and a third person joins, turn your body towards them slightly to include them and make them feel valued. 39 A single nod of the head is also a strong gesture of coolness when listening to another person.
To build trust quickly Try mirroring. Adopting a similar stance (站姿) to the person you are
engaged with indicates your interest and helps develop trust. Use this with caution, though.
40 Mirroring only works when they don't realize what you' re doing.
A. Don't obviously copy your companion.
B. Our body language speaks volumes about us.
C. Control these habits to appear more composed.
D. Our body language barely overshadows our verbal communication.
E. Just be aware that it might make you seem less professional at work.
F. We tend to position our body and feet toward the person of interest to us.
G. By contrast, a failure to angle your body towards them implies“Unwelcome”.

Seven years after a terrible fall left me paralyzed. Here I was, with my two teammates, on the way to becoming the first all-disabled team to cross Europe's largest ice cap, the Vatnaj kull glacier(冰川), unsupported and unassisted.
A year before, when McCann first suggested making the 100-mile trip, I was excited by the41 of reaching this lost world of mountains and ice, yet 42 about whether I'd struggle. But I was eager for 43 and signed on to do the trip with MeCann and Jackson, both of whom had spinal cord(脊髓) injuries.

Just 10 minutes into our journey, I was already beginning to feel the 47 on my shoulders and arms. The weight of our equipment was a constant 48 as it dragged stubbornly through the snow behind us. And yet, with each drive of my poles into the snow, I pushed myself further from civilization— and 49 to the man I'd once been.
After 11 tough days, and countless 50 and slips, we approached the eastern edge of theVatnaj kull glacier. We had beaten the odds, 51 our physical limitations and emerged victorious.
That moment at the 52 affected every aspect of my life and the way I 53 my disability. No longer did I consider myself 54 , because, if I could reach the summit of a remote ice cap, I could overcome the frustrations and setbacks of day-to-day life with

Shoes may not be the first thing one would notice of these 2,200-year-old Terracotta Warriors,56 an initial analysis of their footwear showed that these humble accessories might have played a vital role in the Qin army. Two Chinese researchers made 57 copy of the footwear using the shoe-making techniques and materials known to be used by the Qin people when the warriors 58(build). The study found that the replicas provided the wearers with a more comfortable, stable and efficient 59 (walk) experience.
60 (equal) fascinating are the warriors' clothes: they were candy-coloured. When the Terracotta Warriors were originally created, they were painted a bright array of reds, blues, and greens,61 are believed to have matched the colours of the clothing worn by the Qin soldiers. In many cases, the paint has not survived the centuries after the warriors 62 (burn) by fires or soaked in floods, but a few of the warriors have been unearthed 63 their original colouring still largely undamaged.

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。
I was nominated(提名) for our school's debate team. I jumped at the chance. When I got home that day, I began to fill out the application form, trying hard to prove how I met all the team's criteria: strong communication skills, teamwork, and a good understanding of current events.
The next day, I handed in my application and waited with eagerness. I was on tenterhooks (如坐针毡), anticipation building up with each tick of the clock.
Two weeks went by, and I received a letter from the school about the debate team, which began with“I’ m sorry to…”. As soon as the school bus let me off that afternoon,I raced into the house. My mother was typing at the computer.
“Mom,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper, “I didn’ t make the debate team.”
She looked up, a smile playing on her lips, thinking I was joking, and playfully reached out to high-five me. But the tears in my eyes told a different story.
“No, really,I wasn't picked,” I told her, handing her the letter.
Her smile faded, replaced by a look of genuine concern. “Oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry,” she said, surprised. “There must be some mistake.” She called the debate team advisor, but he confirmed there were no mistakes and the decision was final. Hearing that, I broke down and burst out crying.
The rejection stung (刺痛) me, especially when I saw friends celebrating their acceptance. I felt cheated, questioning the fairness of the process. In my view, some selected didn't deserve it as much as I did. Bitterness crept (潜入) into my words as I complained.
“I’ m the best fit for the team,” I protested.
“See, Jenny, complaining won't get you on the team.” Mom gave me a serious look.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stared at Mom and listened eagerly.——
I did make it when a second chance came 3 months later.

66. One possible version:
Dear Professor Nunan,
Learning that you are gathering feedback on our English textbooks, I'm glad to share my thoughts.
I find the textbooks incredibly beneficial. The well-selected materials, filled with intriguing stories and fresh opinions, have aroused my interest in language learning and opened up a new world for me. My language skills have also been significantly enhanced with the help of the Workbook. However, it would be better to include more interactive activities, such as role-plays or debates, to add more fun to our learning experience.
Thank you for considering my feedback.(90 words)
Best regards,
Li Hua

67. One possible version:
I stared at Mom and listened eagerly. She shared her own stories of failure and disappointment and how she turned them into opportunities for growth. “Every rejection is a lesson,” she said. With her
guidance,I spent the next three months improving my skills. I practiced debates, read extensively to stay updated on current events, and sought feedback from teachers and peers. I even started a debate club after school to gain more experience.
I did make it when a second chance came 3 months later. When the team needed an extra member for an upcoming tournament, they considered my dedication and improvement. This time, I was ready. My performance in the tryouts was confident and well-prepared. Joining the team was a sweet victory, but the real win was in the resilience I had built and the lessons I had learned along the way. My mother's wisdom had steered me through a tough time, and I was grateful for the journey that had made me a better debater and a stronger person.

Hello, I'm Li Hua,a historian specializing in Chinese traditional culture. Today, I want to talk about the richness of Chinese culture. Chinese culture is one of the world's oldest and most complex.(17) Its history stretches back over 5000 years. It contains a lot of elements, from philosophy to cuisine, art, and literature. The philosophy of Confucius emphasizes moral values and respect for elders. These ideas have shaped Chinese society for centuries. Another significant aspect is traditional Chinese medicine, which is still widely respected worldwide. And Chinese food varies greatly from region to region. That is a reflection of the country's vast geography and history. Additionally, Chinese literature has contributed much to world literature. There are classics like Journey to the West and Dream of the Red Chamber.(18) The traditional festivals, like the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, are celebrated with great enthusiasm. They show the importance of family in Chinese culture. As we move into the future, it's crucial to preserve and promote China's rich cultural heritage.(19) Thank you for joining me today in the exploration of Chinese culture. Let's continue this meaningful topie and further our understanding after a short break.(20) And we will have a deep discussion later.

“The water will turn to steam, which will power cars.”
“Yeah, that's a really cool idea.”
This conversation is part of a lesson about technologies that reduce planet-heating pollution. It was lectured, in a brand-new way, by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Bloomington High School.
Climate change is the story of today's young people's lives. But Milks says, “Our students need to know not just the stuff we hear about in the news, but also the actual difference we can make in our shared future.” So, she teaches in such an innovative way.
Creativity is at the core of her lesson. After students learn the basics of climate engineering, which covers a range of strategies, including reflecting sunlight back into space and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, they’ re asked to“come up with interesting wild ideas” to slow global warming. In the first round of brainstorming, students imagined lots of ways to reflect light back into the atmosphere, like covering the desert in shiny glitter (发光物). Next, students are asked to consider the potential limitations and risks to their ideas. Take glitter in the desert, for example:“How are we going to make sure that the glitter doesn't get eaten by the rock pocket mouse or snakes ” Milks asks. The student suggests making the glitter large and smooth enough so it won't be eaten by animals or otherwise harm them. For their final assignment, students present their concepts, including their anticipated benefits and risks.
Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor at Indiana University, who carefully watch the whole lesson, says, “The neat thing about seeing all of these ideas come out of the classroom is it's not I can't do it. It's we can do it. Humans, when they get together, can do amazing things. And that's what gives me hope.”
24. Why does Kirstin Milks lecture in an innovative way
A. She's bettering ways to power cars.
B. She's inspiring students to address real problems.
C. She's making science classes more accessible.
D. She's helping students stay informed of climate change.
25. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. Procedures of a lesson. B. The core value of creativity.
C. Ideas of different students. D. The key concept of solutions.
26. How is the last paragraph mainly developed
A. By defining a concept. B. By quoting an expert.
C. By making a comparison. D. By providing an example.
27. Which best describes Milks' way of teaching
A. It ignores practical application.B. It focuses on theoretical knowledge.
C. It encourages creative problem-solving.D. It highlights the risks of climate change.
C
For millions of years, bees, moths and other pollinators have used scents(香气) to locate flowers and transfer pollen(花粉) to any flowers they later visit. But something is changing today. When the scents of flowers interact with certain air pollutants(污染物) at night, key scents are destroyed. Moths and other nighttime pollinators may find it hard to recognize the flowers they were seeking, researchers show.
The Seattle team conducted field and lab tests with a plant — the pale evening primrose. Ecologist Jeremy Chan put bags over pale evening primroses to trap the flowers’ scent. Then he took the scent back to the lab, along with some moths. They released the primrose scent and moths into a wind tunnel that could mimic conditions in an outdoor field. At once, they watched the moths easily flying straight upwind and tracking the scent. But it was different when pollutants, like ozone and nitrogen dioxide, were added to the mix. Now, the moths flew in a“Z” line. They seemed to be seeking the scent — often without success.
The team then decided to test its findings in nature at night. The result was the same. When this scent was mixed with the pollutants, moths’ visits dropped. Some moths even never found a single flower during the tests. Besides, the same reactions could hurt flowers’ scents by day. But because sunlight can break down ozone, the problem is likely more serious for night pollinators.
As Earth’ s climate warms, it’ s likely that a mix of pollutants will continue to climb. Such conditions could worsen the pollution threat to flowers' scents and plant pollination. “As we know, pollination is important to food growers”, noted Joel Thornton. He’ s an atmospheric scientist in the team. He said pollution could pose a new type of threat to farming.
28. Why do moths have trouble finding out flowers today
A. Flowers' scents interrupt moth.
B. Pollutants affect flowers' scents.
C. Flowers are not available at night.
D. Flowers are changing their scents.
29. How did the researchers get the findings
A. By monitoring moths' behaviors.B. By detecting the primrose scent.
C. By analyzing the types of pollutants.D. By comparing scents with pollutants.
30. What did Joel Thornton think of the findings
A. Amusing. B. Promising. C. Satisfying. D. Worrying.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Pollinators: Lost in PollutantsB. Scents: Gone with the Wind
C. Pollinators: Master of a GardenD. Scents: Nature's Secret Language
D
Are you eyebrow blind TikTok users seem to think so— many have complained on the platform about makeup wearers’ apparent inability to spot whether they’ re blindly following makeup trends or wearing what looks good on their faces. Though“eyebrow blindness” and other types of“beauty blindness” aren't exactly considered mental health trouble, people's tendency to follow trends— even when they look silly or take risks doing so— is definitely a real phenomenon.
So, what does psychology say about trend following First, following trends isn't a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, it’ s perfectly normal. The reason for trend following relates to humans’ core need to belong to a social group and connect with others. Multiple psychological frameworks argue that human connections are as important as basics like access to food and shelter because humans evolved (进化) to rely on one another for survival.
But why do trends themselves have such a pull “Our brains are hardwired to notice what's unusual,” Rutledge says. Thus, we notice outliers and attention-grabbers, making trends even more appealing for those bold enough to follow them.
No one is exempt from following crazes, noticing trends, or signaling their real belonging to social groups. But one group in particular is even easier to follow trends— even risky ones: Tweens, teens, and young adults. As children start the road toward adult independence, they look for ways to express their individuality. This can produce sometimes desperate attempts to prove affiliation(隶属关系) with socially credible in-groups and can fuel desire to stand out with the help of trends.
So, next time you put on makeup— or get dressed, order a meal in public, or purchase a vehicle— consider that your decision may not be as personalized as you may think. “It's really just an inborn response, one that can be explained by our need to fit in with or stand out from the crowd.” says Rutledge.
32. According to the first paragraph, a beauty blind person might .
A. oppose makeup trends publicly
B. follow makeup trends uncritically
C. rely on social media for makeup advice
D. take risks with untested beauty products
33. What's a primary motivation of trend following
A. Financial profit. B. Social connection.
C. Artistic expression. D. Character weakness.
34. Which can best replace the underlined words“exempt from” in paragraph 4
A. Free of. B. Subject to. C. Exposed to. D. Concerned about.
35. What might Rutledge think of trend following
A. It's a personalized choice. B. It mirrors people's mental health.
C. It results from lack of self-confidence.D. It's a natural response to social signals.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
What Does Our Body Language Reveal
36 People tend to judge us far more on our physical appearance, including our mannerisms, than by what comes out of our mouths. To give the right impression, it's important to understand what we are conveying non-verbally and how our unconscious signals are being received by the people we interact with.
Smiling is a powerful tool in your body language collection. Perhaps you smile a lot in the hope of appearing friendly. 37 In some Asian cultures, smiling too much is seen as a signal that you' re not a serious person and may lose you some respect.
If you' re trying to hide nervousness you'd better avoid smiling too much, too. Also be aware that nervous people often hug themselves, rub their forehead, and shift their body weight from one foot to another to create a slight rocking motion. 38
If you' re trying to show that you are listening sympathetically to what someone has to say, try tipping your head slightly and nodding very slightly. This gesture implies you are listening with interest. If you' re talking to someone and a third person joins, turn your body towards them slightly to include them and make them feel valued. 39 A single nod of the head is also a strong gesture of coolness when listening to another person.
To build trust quickly Try mirroring. Adopting a similar stance (站姿) to the person you are
engaged with indicates your interest and helps develop trust. Use this with caution, though.
40 Mirroring only works when they don't realize what you' re doing.
A. Don't obviously copy your companion.
B. Our body language speaks volumes about us.
C. Control these habits to appear more composed.
D. Our body language barely overshadows our verbal communication.
E. Just be aware that it might make you seem less professional at work.
F. We tend to position our body and feet toward the person of interest to us.
G. By contrast, a failure to angle your body towards them implies“Unwelcome”.

Seven years after a terrible fall left me paralyzed. Here I was, with my two teammates, on the way to becoming the first all-disabled team to cross Europe's largest ice cap, the Vatnaj kull glacier(冰川), unsupported and unassisted.

And yet, with each drive of my poles into the snow, I pushed myself further from civilization— and 49 to the man I'd once been.
After 11 tough days, and countless 50 and slips, we approached the eastern edge of theVatnaj kull glacier. We had beaten the odds, 51 our physical limitations and emerged victorious.

Shoes may not be the first thing one would notice of these 2,200-year-old Terracotta Warriors,56 an initial analysis of their footwear showed that these humble accessories might have played a vital role in the Qin army.

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。
I was nominated(提名) for our school's debate team. I jumped at the chance. When I got home that day, I began to fill out the application form, trying hard to prove how I met all the team's criteria: strong communication skills, teamwork, and a good understanding of current events.
The next day, I handed in my application and waited with eagerness. I was on tenterhooks (如坐针毡), anticipation building up with each tick of the clock.
Two weeks went by, and I received a letter from the school about the debate team, which began with“I’ m sorry to…”. As soon as the school bus let me off that afternoon,I raced into the house. My mother was typing at the computer.
“Mom,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper, “I didn’ t make the debate team.”
She looked up, a smile playing on her lips, thinking I was joking, and playfully reached out to high-five me. But the tears in my eyes told a different story.
“No, really,I wasn't picked,” I told her, handing her the letter.
Her smile faded, replaced by a look of genuine concern. “Oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry,” she said, surprised. “There must be some mistake.” She called the debate team advisor, but he confirmed there were no mistakes and the decision was final. Hearing that, I broke down and burst out crying.
The rejection stung (刺痛) me, especially when I saw friends celebrating their acceptance. I felt cheated, questioning the fairness of the process. In my view, some selected didn't deserve it as much as I did. Bitterness crept (潜入) into my words as I complained.
“I’ m the best fit for the team,” I protested.
“See, Jenny, complaining won't get you on the team.” Mom gave me a serious look.

Dear Professor Nunan,
Learning that you are gathering feedback on our English textbooks, I'm glad to share my thoughts.
I find the textbooks incredibly beneficial. The well-selected materials, filled with intriguing stories and fresh opinions, have aroused my interest in language learning and opened up a new world for me. My language skills have also been significantly enhanced with the help of the Workbook. However, it would be better to include more interactive activities, such as role-plays or debates, to add more fun to our learning experience.
Thank you for considering my feedback.(90 words)
Best regards,

67. One possible version:
I stared at Mom and listened eagerly. She shared her own stories of failure and disappointment and how she turned them into opportunities for growth. “Every rejection is a lesson,” she said. With her
guidance,I spent the next three months improving my skills. I practiced debates, read extensively to stay updated on current events, and sought feedback from teachers and peers. I even started a debate club after school to gain more experience.
I did make it when a second chance came 3 months later. When the team needed an extra member for an upcoming tournament, they considered my dedication and improvement. This time, I was ready. My performance in the tryouts was confident and well-prepared. Joining the team was a sweet victory, but the real win was in the resilience I had built and the lessons I had learned along the way. My mother's wisdom had steered me through a tough time, and I was grateful for the journey that had made me a better debater and a stronger person.

Hello, I'm Li Hua,a historian specializing in Chinese traditional culture. Today, I want to talk about the richness of Chinese culture. Chinese culture is one of the world's oldest and most complex.(17) Its history stretches back over 5000 years. It contains a lot of elements, from philosophy to cuisine, art, and literature. The philosophy of Confucius emphasizes moral values and respect for elders. These ideas have shaped Chinese society for centuries. Another significant aspect is traditional Chinese medicine, which is still widely respected worldwide. And Chinese food varies greatly from region to region. That is a reflection of the country's vast geography and history. Additionally, Chinese literature has contributed much to world literature. There are classics like Journey to the West and Dream of the Red Chamber.(18) The traditional festivals, like the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, are celebrated with great enthusiasm. They show the importance of family in Chinese culture. As we move into the future, it's crucial to preserve and promote China's rich cultural heritage.(19) Thank you for joining me today in the exploration of Chinese culture. Let's continue this meaningful topie and further our understanding after a short break.(20) And we will have a deep discussion later.
