In ancient China, people called a man of great virtue (美德) a gentleman.

“_______________”
The plum tree is famous for blossoming (开花) in the dead of winter. Its nice smell fills the air at one of the coldest times of a year, making it difficult to go unnoticed. It stands for inner beauty and fearlessness under hard conditions. Painting plum blossoms was popular in the Northern Song dynasty.

Growing in deep mountain valleys and blooming alone, the orchid is well known for its refreshing smell and it’s believed to be elegant (高雅的) but humble (谦卑的). Therefore, orchids stand for elegance in Chinese people’s eyes.

The bamboo grows up straight and it is difficult to break, so it stands for those gentlemen who are upright (正直的) and positive. The inside of the bamboo is empty, which means being modest (谦虚的) in Chinese culture. It was admired by many ancient poets and painters. The famous poet Su Shi once wrote down “I’d rather eat without meat than live without bamboo” in his poem to show his deep love for bamboo.

Solar eclipses (日食) and lunar eclipses are fascinating events in space. During a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, making the Moon’s shadow (影子) fall on the Earth. If the Moon covers the Sun completely, it is called a total (全) solar eclipse. Sometimes, the Moon does not cover the Sun completely, and we see a ring around the Sun. This is called an annular (环形的) solar eclipse.
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, leaving its shadow on the Moon. Depending on how much of the Earth’s shadow falls on the Moon, we can have different kinds of lunar eclipses: total, partial, or penumbral (半影月食).
To understand when these eclipses happen, we need to know where the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are positioned in space. For example, solar eclipses usually happen when the Moon is closest to the Earth, during the new moon. Lunar eclipses happen during the full moon. Compared to solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are much more often seen on the Earth.
In Chinese stories from long ago, people thought dragons caused solar eclipses. They believed that two dragons fought and blew up storms which led to an eclipse. To make the dragons stop fighting and bring back light, people would play loud music and set off fireworks.
There is also another story about Tiangou, the dog of a god, trying to eat the Moon during a lunar eclipse. To save the Moon, people would make loud noises like playing the drums and shouting to scare away Tiangou.
These old tales show how people explained eclipses before scientists understood them. Now we know the real reasons behind these events, but the stories still remind us of how humans wanted to understand space.
14．What is a solar eclipse according to Paragraph 1
A． B．
C． D．
15．Which is NOT true about lunar eclipse

A．Two dragons blowing up storms. B．A dog trying to eat the Moon.
C．Two dragons fighting with each other. D．A dog running after the Moon.
18．Where can you learn more about eclipses

We all know that paper-making, gunpowder, the compass and the art of printing are the Four Great Inventions of ancient China. But have you heard of another important invention — the abacus (算盘)
It’s said that Li Shou invented the abacus. It has been around for over 5,000 years. Some researchers believe the abacus has a longer history than the other calculators (计算器) in the world. In China, people used abacuses to do calculations for thousands of years before people use electronic calculators in daily life.
The abacus is usually made of wood. It has many beads (珠子) . Each bead above the abacus stands for five, and each bead below stands for one. By moving the beads up or down, one can do all kinds of calculations.
It is a joy to watch a skilled hand use an abacus. Fingers move, beads knock, and after a few seconds, the result comes out. In the past, the use of the abacus was a necessary skill. So it was taught in many schools. Wherever there was a need for calculations, an abacus would come into sight.
Today, because we are used to using electronic calculators, we don’t have many chances to see an abacus in our daily life. Many young people have not even heard of the word “abacus”. However, the abacus still plays an important role in certain situations.
The abacus is one of the most important inventions in Chinese history. It used to make a big difference to Chinese people’s life. It shows the great wisdom of the ancient Chinese people. It is our national treasure. It is one of the reasons why we take pride in China.

However, the old way is now making a comeback among young people in Beijing and Guangdong — weilu zhucha. It is a kind of relaxing way, coming from Yunnan’s “roasting tea in the fire pond”. A small group of people, at most four or six young people, sit around a stove as they boil tea on it. The tea can be green tea, black tea or fruit tea. The tea is steaming, roasting various snacks beside the teapot, like nuts and sweet potatoes. In this way, people can get a taste of a slower life and feel more relaxed. As one post on the app Xiaohongshu says, “It is very relaxing to drink hot tea, feel the fall breeze, and chat with best friends.”

For the 25-year-old model Huang Qian, going to the gym and following a strict diet help her keep a slim (苗条的) body.
About eight months ago, she decided to add a new form of exercise to her daily training. Baduanjin—which is translated as “eight pieces of brocade (锦缎) ”— is a form of qigong, a set of traditional Chinese fitness exercises with a history of eight hundred years, mixing physical movement with breathing and meditation (冥想).
“I knew nothing about baduanjin until I saw videos of people practicing it on social media. The movements are very slow, like tai chi, so I naturally connected it with the kind of exercise liked by the elderly,” says Huang. However, she decided to give it a try because she had problems with her heart and stomach.
The practice doesn’t require much space or time. Baduanjin uses breathing and focusing skills to improve body and mind, through eight, well-designed exercises. Huang usually practices about half an hour after breakfast. She enjoys the exercise, which stretches (拉伸) and relaxes her whole body.
“I feel my body slowing down, as well as my mind. I focus on my movements while listening to beautiful and smoothing music. It only takes me 12 minutes to finish the eight exercises. I feel relaxed and full of energy before starting my day, ” says Huang, who now practices baduanjin every day, besides going to the gym to do weight training.
Baduanjin, which is slow and smooth, has won the hearts of the young. Since it has something to do with meditation and breathing exercises, it’s also treated as a way for young people to relax and deal with stress.
Compared with other types of qigong exercise, such as tai chi and wuqinxi (in which people do the movements of a bear, a tiger, a monkey, a deer and birds) , baduanjin is more suited to beginners thanks to its simple and gentle movements. You can practice at almost any time and anywhere. For example, you can practice the way of standing by the table after sitting in front of the computer for a long time.
