As the first snows of the season start to fall, mountain towns across the Alps welcome winter visitors with smart new hotels. And this year is no different. Here are the best resorts（旅游胜地）to bed down in the Alps this season.
Experimental Chalet, Val d’Isère
France’s ski resort welcomes the newest hotel offering from the Experimental cocktail group. With the rebuilding of this lodge, you’ll find two new restaurants, a spa and a cocktail bar. In a resort filled with après-ski, this looks set to stand in a class of its own. From ?423（ 356）per night, room only.
The Brecon, Adelboden
Welsh chef Bryn Williams opened a restaurant here in the Swiss Alps a few years ago.

From ?650（ 580）per night, all-inclusive.
Eriro, Ehrwalder Alm
On the fringe（边缘）of the busy Austrian Tyrol resorts is hardly-heard-of Ehrwalder Alm. Accessible only by cable-car, Eriro is the resort’s only ski in, ski out hotel. Add in guided nature hikes and you’ll find it all wonderfully distinct from the traditional Austrian resort. From ?1,550（ 1,300）per night, all-inclusive.
Der B glerhof, Alpbach
This hotel near beautiful Alpbach has a timeless devotion to health and well-being. The valley’s great place to stay has also had a makeover（翻新）, with a new wellness complex, outdoor pool, yoga studio and expanded family spa. And around it all is the peaceful 70-mile Ski area.

With two minutes left on the clock, Hongtusi Han Dukai and her partner Gulhayat Mamit, from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, decided to stop swinging, and their final score was recorded at 61 bell touches. “I’ve never experienced this kind of result before,” Hongtusi said, “It’s super easy for us to reach 140 or even 150 during our training; really regrettable!”
The swing, known as “dangqiuqian” in Chinese, is popular in China, which boasts a long history. Becoming an official competition event in the National Ethnic Games（全国民族运动会）in 1986, the female-only swing competitions are divided by weight categories into below 55kg and above, and further divided into height competitions and the bell-touching competitions, with both singles and doubles events.
For the doubles bell-touching competition, two athletes stand face-to-face on a 40cm long and 10cm wide footboard of the swing, swinging to touch a bar with bells that usually stands 7. 2 meters high and 8. 5 meters away, hanging under another swing frame. Athletes who touch the bells the most times during the 10-minute competition win.
As the first pair to compete in the women’s doubles 55kg bell-touching competition of the swing event, Gulhayat admitted she was “very nervous” before stepping on the swing, but then calmed down as Hongtusi reminded her, “Don’t be nervous, keep up with my rhythm, and just listen to me.”
Both of them changed from middle-distance running to the swing, and they fell in love with swinging quickly. In 2022, both Hongtusi and Gulhayat participated in Xinjiang’s ethnic minorities sports games and then paired up for the Games this year. Despite only starting to train together three months ago, the new pair quickly developed a good cooperation, improving their performance.
“I think swinging is the hardest of all the events. There’s no break during the 10-minutecompetition. There’s no space to relax. You have to train for a long time to adapt to the ropes; insistence, strength and physical fitness are all required,” explained Hongtusi. At last they got the third place.
24. How did Hongtusi feel after the competition
A. She had red eyes. B. She was in the pink. C. She felt a bit blue. D. She was a green hand.
25. What is the purpose of paragraph 2 and 3
A. To introduce the rules of the competition.
B. To indicate the popularity of the competition.
C. To add background information on the competition.
D. To show the importance of cooperation in the competition.
26. Which one is true about the swing competition
A. It requires training from an early age. B. It is open to women only.
C. It allows the participants to rest halfway. D. It is the hardest of all the events.
27. What is the best title of this passage
A. Two girls, shining in a swing competition.
B. Swing, a newly-added event to the Games.
C. Two girls, bringing the swing to the world.
D. Swing, a traditional sport in ethnic minorities.
C
There is already much evidence that volunteering benefits adults’ physical and mental health. Now, scientists have found similar links to both physical and mental health in adolescents.
A 2023 analysis found that among more than 50, 000 adolescents in the National Survey of Children’s Health, young people who had participated in community service or had volunteered over the previous 12 months were more likely to be in good health and stayed calm and in control when faced with challenges, and the adolescents were less likely to be anxious.
Admittedly, those findings are only correlations（相关性）. “It could be that the children who were volunteering were already in great health,” says study co-leader Kevin Lanza. But because of an alarming rise in mental health issues among young people, he believes that the early findings are promising enough to dig into. A 2021 report warned that the percentage of young people suffering from constant sadness or hopelessness had increased by 40 percent over the previous decade.
When looking for ways to address it, researchers point to the role of “contribution”— providing support or resources to others or helping to achieve a shared goal— as an important piece of social and emotional development for adolescents. Young people have a developmental need to connect and belong. “Part of the exploration of adolescence and young adulthood is figuring out where you can be needed and useful— arguably key aspects of our mental health,” says developmental psychologist Andrew Fuligni.
Volunteering is one good way young people can contribute. The importance of mattering to others and to the larger world translates really well to the needs of adolescents to have a meaningful role to play in their community.
However, there may be a potential disadvantage of volunteering. Scientists have found that young people’s mental health can suffer if they feel their contributions are thought lowly of because of their sex, racial or ethnic identity or they are forced to participate. Thus, adults can help by offering choices and by vetting（审查）volunteer opportunities to be sure that organizations are well run and equipped to offer a good experience.
28. What does Lanza think about the findings in 2023
A. They are valuable and worth further exploration.
B. They discover teenagers face more mental health issues.
C. They show volunteering increases adults’ overall well-being.
D. They prove the willingness to volunteer determines children’s health.
29. How does “contribution” address adolescents’ mental problems
A. By curing them of the mental problems.
B. By helping them gain praise and support.
C. By enabling them to find a sense of purpose.
D. By meeting the need of more volunteers now.
30. Who may suffer from volunteering according to the text
A. John, a disabled boy who did community service work.
B. Taylor, a black girl who was praised for helping others.
C. Tom, a kind child who helped in a school as a volunteer.
D. Jessica, a high school student who hesitated to volunteer.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. The importance of doing voluntary working.
B. The approach to volunteering by contributing.
C. The seriousness of adolescents’ mental health issues.
D. The impact of volunteering on adolescents’ mental health.

Roads with variable（可变的）speed limits, also known as smart motorways, are common in countries including the US, UK and Germany. Usually, rule-based systems monitor the number of vehicles on one of these roads and change speeds accordingly. One such road is a 27-kilometre section of the I-24 freeway near Nashville, Tennessee, which was experiencing a problem: when there are too many vehicles, traffic jams appear when drivers brake, slowing vehicles to move slowly and risking crashes as fast-moving vehicles come up behind.
To address this, Daniel Work at Vanderbilt University in Nashville and his colleagues trained an AI on historical traffic data to monitor cameras and make decisions on speed limits, deploying（部署）it in the I-24 control room in February. Originally, the AI was tested with the existing software— not having control over limits, but telling operators what it would have decided— and faced problems that happened at the early stage.
After some adjustments, the team started a new system in March that has been able to operate independently ever since. The AI works 98 percent of the time, but if it sometimes calls for a change in speed limit that is larger than 10 miles per hour, it would go against federal law.
It isn’t clear how drivers have responded to the new system or whether it has improved traffic. Work says that data on the project won’t be open until later this year, as it is still being analyzed, but he is positive about the results.
“I think that we’ re just scratching the surface of a whole new way to run freeways,” says Work. “It’s a complete change how these systems operate, which means there are more things remaining to be done. Anything that we can do to reduce the number of crashes and deaths happening on that roadway is worth doing. The area needs attention so much, which drove the whole project in the first place: terrible traffic jams, a lot of growth, and a corridor（走廊）that sees a lot of crashes. Sitting by and doing nothing is not good for anybody.”
32. What is the problem with the 27-kilometre section of the I-24 freeway
A. So many vehicles. B. Traffic crashes.
C. Variable speed limits. D. Vehicle breakdowns.
33. What was AI’s role during the early testing stage
A. A replacement of the previous software.
B. A helper providing advice for operators.
C. A supporter to maintain the related laws.
D. A decision maker on the existing problems.
34. What does the underlined phrase “scratching the surface of” in the last paragraph mean
A. Touching on partly. B. Smoothing out definitely.
C. Thinking through clearly. D. Putting the finishing touches to.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. AI is applied to setting variable speed limits on US freeway.
B. Drivers are forced to change their driving habit owing to AI.
C. Traffic jams will disappear because of speed limits set by AI.
D. The current traffic condition on US freeway needs improving.

What makes great storytelling for film There are some tips for filmmakers about the art of it.
One of the most important elements of great storytelling for film is how the story is told. Great movies can throw curveballs（曲线球）that you don’t see coming. 36 The standard structure for any kind of storytelling is to introduce your characters, setting and genre at the start. Any problems should be encountered somewhere in the middle of the story. 37 If you’ve got a brilliant story, think about what would happen if you began your film with the ending. Try experimenting with the timing of events, and how the order can impact the audience’s view.
With a clear structure, you should consider how to grab the audience’s attention quickly. 38 Your story may be wonderful, but if it takes too long to get into, you might lose your audience before you’ve got going. With so much competition, you need to act fast. Pay particular attention to the first 10 pages of your script. Remember that when reading the script, you should want to read on and be gripped. Let somebody read your script and ask them whether they want to continue on after 10 pages. 39
As with any content you create, understanding your audience is an important step. Who will want to watch this movie What do they like doing and what interests them 40 That can make it more attractive to the target audience. See if you can gather some statistic from any films that are in any way similar to the same genre. From this, you can judge who usually enjoys the genre, and who you can tailor your screenplay to.
All in all, everything that goes into making a film, from costume choices to special effects, is there to reinforce the story. Next time, let’s talk more about the topic.
A. The end involves the issues being resolved.
B. Don’t forget to focus on character development.
C. In the modern world everything moves at a fast speed.
D. If so, that desire can be ten times stronger in your film.
E. But they have a structure that isn’t too confusing to follow.
F. Doing market research will help you revise your film’s screenplay.
G. Making choices about the timing of events can heighten their impact.

The wooden arch bridges, found mostly in eastern China’s Fujian and Zhejiang provinces and 56 （date）from Tang Dynasty, are built 57 a single metal nail or rivet（铆钉）.

Today I’d like to share my thoughts on plastic surgery. Plastic surgery is undoubtedly becoming more and more popular. In terms of its negative consequences, I think people never have plastic surgery.
Firstly, people do not always get satisfactory results from plastic surgery. No one can make sure that the result of plastic surgery will be exactly what the patient expected. Secondly, plastic surgery can be dangerous. It is very common that some people suffer terrible pain and have serious health problems after surgery. What’s worse, some people may get addicted to plastic surgery. They tend to get more operations to change other parts of their body afterwards.
In conclusion, if you want to improve your appearance through plastic surgery, it is not a good choice absolutely. Keep the old saying in your mind, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”

M: Good, thanks, Jenny. Just got to put the finishing touches to the routine, but the kids are doing wonderfully well. You’d never guess some of them were beginners.
W: Fantastic! When’s the performance
M: From the 30th June until the 6th of July, at the Community Centre. Tickets go on sale next week.
W: Well, I’ll certainly be there. I was hoping I could make my daughter Alice take part in it next term, actually. She needs to burn off some energy! What is the age range you teach
M: Anywhere from 7-17 years old, but I run the Juniors and Seniors classes separately.
W: Oh, what a shame. She’s only 5; she won’t be 6 until May.
M: Well, my friend Natalie runs classes for smaller children, from the age of 2 and up. I think she does classes on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, in the gymnasium at the senior school. I can give you her number.
W: Oh, thanks. A weekend class would be perfect! Weeknights are always so busy in our house.

M: Just celebrate Spring Festival with us this year. We can all make dumplings together and make a real occasion of it!
W: That sounds wonderful. I was invited to visit a relative, but my car is having engine problems, and it just wouldn’t be safe to drive in this weather.
M: Safety first! Say, what kind of dumplings do you like
W: Oh, I’ll eat any, even the frozen, packaged kind.
M: Well, ours will be fresh! Do you prefer vinegar（醋）or soy sauce（酱油）
W: Vinegar. The acid cuts through the fatty meat. And that’s always been the custom at my house.
M: Same here. It seems so out of the ordinary when someone eats them with soy sauce or sugar!

Going to an American college with diverse students introduced me to many traditions and customs from all over the world. A precious memory from that time was attending the annual celebration for Holi, an Indian festival also known as the Festival of Colors. The event was put on by students who were from India or were of Indian heritage. They promoted it for weeks beforehand. The day of the celebration, I arrived at the school parking lot wearing a white T-shirt, but at the end of the event my shirt was anything but white. Everybody bought a small package of different colored powders at the entrance. As soon as I stepped into the crowd, I was caught up in the fun of throwing powder at everyone I passed. Even the black parking lot was covered. The event made quite the impression, but my friend told me that in India, entire streets are filled during Holi. People throw colored powder as well as water on complete strangers. I think it would be even more amazing to celebrate Holi there!

As the first snows of the season start to fall, mountain towns across the Alps welcome winter visitors with smart new hotels. And this year is no different. Here are the best resorts（旅游胜地）to bed down in the Alps this season.
Experimental Chalet, Val d’Isère
France’s ski resort welcomes the newest hotel offering from the Experimental cocktail group. With the rebuilding of this lodge, you’ll find two new restaurants, a spa and a cocktail bar. In a resort filled with après-ski, this looks set to stand in a class of its own. From ?423（ 356）per night, room only.
The Brecon, Adelboden
Welsh chef Bryn Williams opened a restaurant here in the Swiss Alps a few years ago.

From ?650（ 580）per night, all-inclusive.
Eriro, Ehrwalder Alm
On the fringe（边缘）of the busy Austrian Tyrol resorts is hardly-heard-of Ehrwalder Alm. Accessible only by cable-car, Eriro is the resort’s only ski in, ski out hotel. Add in guided nature hikes and you’ll find it all wonderfully distinct from the traditional Austrian resort. From ?1,550（ 1,300）per night, all-inclusive.

This hotel near beautiful Alpbach has a timeless devotion to health and well-being. The valley’s great place to stay has also had a makeover（翻新）, with a new wellness complex, outdoor pool, yoga studio and expanded family spa. And around it all is the peaceful 70-mile Ski area.

With two minutes left on the clock, Hongtusi Han Dukai and her partner Gulhayat Mamit, from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, decided to stop swinging, and their final score was recorded at 61 bell touches. “I’ve never experienced this kind of result before,” Hongtusi said, “It’s super easy for us to reach 140 or even 150 during our training; really regrettable!”
The swing, known as “dangqiuqian” in Chinese, is popular in China, which boasts a long history. Becoming an official competition event in the National Ethnic Games（全国民族运动会）in 1986, the female-only swing competitions are divided by weight categories into below 55kg and above, and further divided into height competitions and the bell-touching competitions, with both singles and doubles events.
For the doubles bell-touching competition, two athletes stand face-to-face on a 40cm long and 10cm wide footboard of the swing, swinging to touch a bar with bells that usually stands 7. 2 meters high and 8. 5 meters away, hanging under another swing frame. Athletes who touch the bells the most times during the 10-minute competition win.
As the first pair to compete in the women’s doubles 55kg bell-touching competition of the swing event, Gulhayat admitted she was “very nervous” before stepping on the swing, but then calmed down as Hongtusi reminded her, “Don’t be nervous, keep up with my rhythm, and just listen to me.”
Both of them changed from middle-distance running to the swing, and they fell in love with swinging quickly. In 2022, both Hongtusi and Gulhayat participated in Xinjiang’s ethnic minorities sports games and then paired up for the Games this year. Despite only starting to train together three months ago, the new pair quickly developed a good cooperation, improving their performance.
“I think swinging is the hardest of all the events. There’s no break during the 10-minutecompetition. There’s no space to relax. You have to train for a long time to adapt to the ropes; insistence, strength and physical fitness are all required,” explained Hongtusi. At last they got the third place.
24. How did Hongtusi feel after the competition
A. She had red eyes. B. She was in the pink. C. She felt a bit blue. D. She was a green hand.
25. What is the purpose of paragraph 2 and 3
A. To introduce the rules of the competition.
B. To indicate the popularity of the competition.
C. To add background information on the competition.
D. To show the importance of cooperation in the competition.
26. Which one is true about the swing competition
A. It requires training from an early age. B. It is open to women only.
C. It allows the participants to rest halfway. D. It is the hardest of all the events.
27. What is the best title of this passage
A. Two girls, shining in a swing competition.
B. Swing, a newly-added event to the Games.
C. Two girls, bringing the swing to the world.
D. Swing, a traditional sport in ethnic minorities.
C
There is already much evidence that volunteering benefits adults’ physical and mental health. Now, scientists have found similar links to both physical and mental health in adolescents.
A 2023 analysis found that among more than 50, 000 adolescents in the National Survey of Children’s Health, young people who had participated in community service or had volunteered over the previous 12 months were more likely to be in good health and stayed calm and in control when faced with challenges, and the adolescents were less likely to be anxious.
Admittedly, those findings are only correlations（相关性）. “It could be that the children who were volunteering were already in great health,” says study co-leader Kevin Lanza. But because of an alarming rise in mental health issues among young people, he believes that the early findings are promising enough to dig into. A 2021 report warned that the percentage of young people suffering from constant sadness or hopelessness had increased by 40 percent over the previous decade.
When looking for ways to address it, researchers point to the role of “contribution”— providing support or resources to others or helping to achieve a shared goal— as an important piece of social and emotional development for adolescents. Young people have a developmental need to connect and belong. “Part of the exploration of adolescence and young adulthood is figuring out where you can be needed and useful— arguably key aspects of our mental health,” says developmental psychologist Andrew Fuligni.
Volunteering is one good way young people can contribute. The importance of mattering to others and to the larger world translates really well to the needs of adolescents to have a meaningful role to play in their community.
However, there may be a potential disadvantage of volunteering. Scientists have found that young people’s mental health can suffer if they feel their contributions are thought lowly of because of their sex, racial or ethnic identity or they are forced to participate. Thus, adults can help by offering choices and by vetting（审查）volunteer opportunities to be sure that organizations are well run and equipped to offer a good experience.
28. What does Lanza think about the findings in 2023
A. They are valuable and worth further exploration.
B. They discover teenagers face more mental health issues.
C. They show volunteering increases adults’ overall well-being.
D. They prove the willingness to volunteer determines children’s health.
29. How does “contribution” address adolescents’ mental problems
A. By curing them of the mental problems.
B. By helping them gain praise and support.
C. By enabling them to find a sense of purpose.
D. By meeting the need of more volunteers now.
30. Who may suffer from volunteering according to the text
A. John, a disabled boy who did community service work.
B. Taylor, a black girl who was praised for helping others.
C. Tom, a kind child who helped in a school as a volunteer.
D. Jessica, a high school student who hesitated to volunteer.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. The importance of doing voluntary working.
B. The approach to volunteering by contributing.
C. The seriousness of adolescents’ mental health issues.
D. The impact of volunteering on adolescents’ mental health.
D
Roads with variable（可变的）speed limits, also known as smart motorways, are common in countries including the US, UK and Germany. Usually, rule-based systems monitor the number of vehicles on one of these roads and change speeds accordingly. One such road is a 27-kilometre section of the I-24 freeway near Nashville, Tennessee, which was experiencing a problem: when there are too many vehicles, traffic jams appear when drivers brake, slowing vehicles to move slowly and risking crashes as fast-moving vehicles come up behind.
To address this, Daniel Work at Vanderbilt University in Nashville and his colleagues trained an AI on historical traffic data to monitor cameras and make decisions on speed limits, deploying（部署）it in the I-24 control room in February. Originally, the AI was tested with the existing software— not having control over limits, but telling operators what it would have decided— and faced problems that happened at the early stage.
After some adjustments, the team started a new system in March that has been able to operate independently ever since. The AI works 98 percent of the time, but if it sometimes calls for a change in speed limit that is larger than 10 miles per hour, it would go against federal law.
It isn’t clear how drivers have responded to the new system or whether it has improved traffic. Work says that data on the project won’t be open until later this year, as it is still being analyzed, but he is positive about the results.
“I think that we’ re just scratching the surface of a whole new way to run freeways,” says Work. “It’s a complete change how these systems operate, which means there are more things remaining to be done. Anything that we can do to reduce the number of crashes and deaths happening on that roadway is worth doing. The area needs attention so much, which drove the whole project in the first place: terrible traffic jams, a lot of growth, and a corridor（走廊）that sees a lot of crashes. Sitting by and doing nothing is not good for anybody.”
32. What is the problem with the 27-kilometre section of the I-24 freeway
A. So many vehicles. B. Traffic crashes.
C. Variable speed limits. D. Vehicle breakdowns.
33. What was AI’s role during the early testing stage
A. A replacement of the previous software.
B. A helper providing advice for operators.
C. A supporter to maintain the related laws.
D. A decision maker on the existing problems.
34. What does the underlined phrase “scratching the surface of” in the last paragraph mean
A. Touching on partly. B. Smoothing out definitely.
C. Thinking through clearly. D. Putting the finishing touches to.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. AI is applied to setting variable speed limits on US freeway.
B. Drivers are forced to change their driving habit owing to AI.
C. Traffic jams will disappear because of speed limits set by AI.
D. The current traffic condition on US freeway needs improving.

What makes great storytelling for film There are some tips for filmmakers about the art of it.
One of the most important elements of great storytelling for film is how the story is told. Great movies can throw curveballs（曲线球）that you don’t see coming. 36 The standard structure for any kind of storytelling is to introduce your characters, setting and genre at the start. Any problems should be encountered somewhere in the middle of the story. 37 If you’ve got a brilliant story, think about what would happen if you began your film with the ending. Try experimenting with the timing of events, and how the order can impact the audience’s view.
With a clear structure, you should consider how to grab the audience’s attention quickly. 38 Your story may be wonderful, but if it takes too long to get into, you might lose your audience before you’ve got going. With so much competition, you need to act fast. Pay particular attention to the first 10 pages of your script. Remember that when reading the script, you should want to read on and be gripped. Let somebody read your script and ask them whether they want to continue on after 10 pages. 39
As with any content you create, understanding your audience is an important step. Who will want to watch this movie What do they like doing and what interests them 40 That can make it more attractive to the target audience. See if you can gather some statistic from any films that are in any way similar to the same genre. From this, you can judge who usually enjoys the genre, and who you can tailor your screenplay to.
All in all, everything that goes into making a film, from costume choices to special effects, is there to reinforce the story. Next time, let’s talk more about the topic.
A. The end involves the issues being resolved.
B. Don’t forget to focus on character development.
C. In the modern world everything moves at a fast speed.
D. If so, that desire can be ten times stronger in your film.
E. But they have a structure that isn’t too confusing to follow.
F. Doing market research will help you revise your film’s screenplay.
G. Making choices about the timing of events can heighten their impact.

Today I’d like to share my thoughts on plastic surgery. Plastic surgery is undoubtedly becoming more and more popular. In terms of its negative consequences, I think people never have plastic surgery.
Firstly, people do not always get satisfactory results from plastic surgery. No one can make sure that the result of plastic surgery will be exactly what the patient expected. Secondly, plastic surgery can be dangerous. It is very common that some people suffer terrible pain and have serious health problems after surgery. What’s worse, some people may get addicted to plastic surgery. They tend to get more operations to change other parts of their body afterwards.
In conclusion, if you want to improve your appearance through plastic surgery, it is not a good choice absolutely. Keep the old saying in your mind, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”

M: Really I thought you’d still be upset about me breaking your game last time I came over

M: Well, that’s a relief! I’d love to see your dog. Just let me ask my mom first. She’ll be expecting me to come straight home.
W: Great, I’ll wait here.
M: I’ll be just a second.

M: So, Abby, we all know what a director does on a film set, but what does a first assistant director like yourself do
W: Well Brad, our role is to aid the director and find solutions to issues that arise.
M: Can you give us an example Some of our listeners haven’t worked on a film set.
W: Sure. So a director will usually focus on working with the primary actors. A first assistant director will work with background artists and crowds if we have any.
M: Are you hoping to become a director yourself one day
W: Maybe. I actually fancy becoming a director of photography.
M: And what do they do
W: They work with the director to frame the shot and make sure the lighting sets the mood of the film.

W: How are the dance classes going, Mark
M: Good, thanks, Jenny. Just got to put the finishing touches to the routine, but the kids are doing wonderfully well. You’d never guess some of them were beginners.
W: Fantastic! When’s the performance
M: From the 30th June until the 6th of July, at the Community Centre. Tickets go on sale next week.
W: Well, I’ll certainly be there. I was hoping I could make my daughter Alice take part in it next term, actually. She needs to burn off some energy! What is the age range you teach
M: Anywhere from 7-17 years old, but I run the Juniors and Seniors classes separately.
W: Oh, what a shame. She’s only 5; she won’t be 6 until May.
M: Well, my friend Natalie runs classes for smaller children, from the age of 2 and up. I think she does classes on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, in the gymnasium at the senior school. I can give you her number.
W: Oh, thanks. A weekend class would be perfect! Weeknights are always so busy in our house.

M: Just celebrate Spring Festival with us this year. We can all make dumplings together and make a real occasion of it!
W: That sounds wonderful. I was invited to visit a relative, but my car is having engine problems, and it just wouldn’t be safe to drive in this weather.
M: Safety first! Say, what kind of dumplings do you like
W: Oh, I’ll eat any, even the frozen, packaged kind.
M: Well, ours will be fresh! Do you prefer vinegar（醋）or soy sauce（酱油）
W: Vinegar. The acid cuts through the fatty meat. And that’s always been the custom at my house.
M: Same here. It seems so out of the ordinary when someone eats them with soy sauce or sugar!

Going to an American college with diverse students introduced me to many traditions and customs from all over the world. A precious memory from that time was attending the annual celebration for Holi, an Indian festival also known as the Festival of Colors. The event was put on by students who were from India or were of Indian heritage. They promoted it for weeks beforehand. The day of the celebration, I arrived at the school parking lot wearing a white T-shirt, but at the end of the event my shirt was anything but white. Everybody bought a small package of different colored powders at the entrance. As soon as I stepped into the crowd, I was caught up in the fun of throwing powder at everyone I passed. Even the black parking lot was covered. The event made quite the impression, but my friend told me that in India, entire streets are filled during Holi. People throw colored powder as well as water on complete strangers. I think it would be even more amazing to celebrate Holi there!
