Even at 80, Mei Jingtian continues to watch over the Great Wall.
Living in a village near the Great Wall, Mei has a deep love for the wall. He still remembers he usually ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on this impressive structure when he was a child. However, when he returned to the village after working outside for years, he was surprised by the damage to the ancient wall. “Some villagers even took bricks from it to build their houses,” Mei said.
To help protect the wonder, Mei volunteered to walk along the wall each day to check its condition, encouraging other villagers to join him. “Of course, it might be dangerous to hike in the mountains by myself, so I always tap the grassy ground along the way with a wooden stick, scaring wild animals away,” Mei said.
In 2006, as head of the village, Mei helped set up a local volunteer protection group. Realizing the importance of heritage protection, more and more villagers returned the bricks they had taken, and about 80 of them joined as volunteers. To ensure that the volunteers could carry out their duties effectively, Mei arranged for training programs on basic protection and safety measures. Together, they conducted daily check-ups to track the condition of the Great Wall and reported any damages.
Encouraged by her father, Mei’s daughter, followed him and officially became a Great Wall protector in 2019. “When I was a child, my father always told me his stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Mei’s daughter said. “It is also my responsibility to protect the cultural heritage.”
The past ten years have seen Mei’s preservation efforts to the Great Wall. “It is my biggest wish to see heritage well-preserved and open to visits, encouraging more people to join us in protecting the Great Wall,” Mei says.

Hearing from an old friend you’ve lost touch with can be a nice surprise. But when it comes to who will send the message first to get reconnected, most people just can’t make up their mind.
According to a new study, everyone expects to rebuild old friendships, but surprisingly we are often afraid to take the first step. The study has also provided helpful suggestions on picking up old friendships.
The researchers conducted a survey of almost 530 people. As the findings showed, over 90 percent of them said that they could think of a long-lost friend and would like to speak with him again. However, when they were asked to send a message, only about one out of ten actually did.
“We all know that trying to change people’s minds might not be the best practice,” says Nora Marshal, lead researcher of the study. “Instead of changing people’s minds, we needed to change their behavior.”
The research team came up with a new strategy, which was tested out by conducting a “warm-up” practice. One group spent three minutes sending messages to their present friends, while the other group spent three minutes watching videos on their phones. Then, everyone was asked to write and send a message to an old friend.
The practice task proved successful: 62 percent of those who had warmed up did send the message — a two-thirds increase over those who hadn’t. By contrast, only 11 percent of those watching videos reached out to an old friend.
So why is getting old friends reconnected difficult and we need to practise some warm-ups first Over time, old friends can start to feel like strangers. That is why people feel worried about reconnecting. “We advise people not to overthink the situation and just press’ send’,” said Nora. “Just take their friend’s position and think about how much they would appreciate receiving a note from an old friend.”
8. What does the new study show
A. People are afraid to lose their old friends. B. People seldom hear from their old friends.
C. People are unwilling to pick up their old friendship. D. People usually don’t dare to contact old friends first.
9. How did the researchers get the findings
A By carrying out a survey. B. By discussing with 530 people.
C. By teaming up with other groups. D. By comparing people’s minds and behavior.
10. What is the key step of the new strategy
A. Changing people’s minds. B. Reading some warm-up messages.
C. Watching videos related to friendship. D. Contacting present friends to warm up.
11. What is Nora Marshal’s suggestion for us
A. Appreciate your friend’s efforts. B. Be brave to reach out to strangers.
C. Feel free to reconnect our old friends. D. Consider carefully before taking action.
D
With an AI tool, researchers study penguin photos taken by tourists and scientists to track Adélie penguins in Antarctica. “Right now, everyone has a camera in their pocket, and the number of photos we could collect for studying will be out of our expectation,” says Thomas Brown, a scientist from an international research team.
With guidance from an expert the AI tool is able to get a handle on and draw out the penguin groups in pared with human, the AI finds and marks Adélie penguins in these photos more quickly, taking only 5 to 10 seconds per image.
The team created a 3D map of the Antarctica to know exactly where the photos were taken. By identifying the details in the tourist pictures, the researchers could place the photographer and the habitats of the Adélie penguin groups within the 3D map to get a bird’s eye view. This allows researchers to track how Adélie penguin groups change in location and population size over time. Such tracking is important because it can tell the climate changes. That is what researchers want to know. Similarly, the AI tool can also use historical photos to track natural signs such as glacier (冰川) changes that develop very slowly and may only be obvious by looking across many years.
Opinions about AI tools are different among researchers. Some worry that using tourist photos for research may encourage more people to visit Antarctica, which might lead to more tourist activities and could destroy the ecosystem in the end. However, for Thomas, he believes studying tourist photos with the AI tool could be useful, especially as many penguin groups have not been noticed by the research community. “Since Antarctica is hard to study twenty-four-seven,” says Thomas, “this method is helpful for keeping an eye on penguin groups that might only get studied once in a while.”
12. Why do the research team use an AI tool in their study
A. To collect the photos from tourists. B. To follow moving paths of penguins.
C. To study the photos taken by tourists. D. To identify the 3D map of Antarctica.
13. Which of the following can replace the underlined “get a handle on” in Paragraph 2
A. Identify. B. Ignore.
C. Explore. D. Revise.
14 What do researchers want to know by tracking Adélie penguins
A. Glacier sizes. B. Location marks.
C. Climate changes. D. Penguin numbers.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. 3D map helps locate penguin groups. B. Adélie penguins help develop AI tools.
C. Penguins show signs of climate change. D. Researchers use AI to track penguin groups.

【57题答案】
【答案】Dear fellow students,
Standardized Chinese character writing is of great significance. It not only reflects our cultural heritage but also helps convey information clearly. A neat and standardized writing can leave a good impression on others.
Here are some suggestions. First, practice regularly with copybooks, making is a routine. Second, it is very important to pay attention to the structure and strokes of each character. Third, since many studnets don’t have a right posture, it is suggested that we should keep a proper writing posture and pen-holding gesture.
Let’s take action now to improve our Chinese character writing and inherit our excellent traditional culture.
Best regards,
Li Hua

Even at 80, Mei Jingtian continues to watch over the Great Wall.
Living in a village near the Great Wall, Mei has a deep love for the wall. He still remembers he usually ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on this impressive structure when he was a child. However, when he returned to the village after working outside for years, he was surprised by the damage to the ancient wall. “Some villagers even took bricks from it to build their houses,” Mei said.
To help protect the wonder, Mei volunteered to walk along the wall each day to check its condition, encouraging other villagers to join him. “Of course, it might be dangerous to hike in the mountains by myself, so I always tap the grassy ground along the way with a wooden stick, scaring wild animals away,” Mei said.
In 2006, as head of the village, Mei helped set up a local volunteer protection group. Realizing the importance of heritage protection, more and more villagers returned the bricks they had taken, and about 80 of them joined as volunteers. To ensure that the volunteers could carry out their duties effectively, Mei arranged for training programs on basic protection and safety measures. Together, they conducted daily check-ups to track the condition of the Great Wall and reported any damages.
Encouraged by her father, Mei’s daughter, followed him and officially became a Great Wall protector in 2019. “When I was a child, my father always told me his stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Mei’s daughter said. “It is also my responsibility to protect the cultural heritage.”

Hearing from an old friend you’ve lost touch with can be a nice surprise. But when it comes to who will send the message first to get reconnected, most people just can’t make up their mind.
According to a new study, everyone expects to rebuild old friendships, but surprisingly we are often afraid to take the first step. The study has also provided helpful suggestions on picking up old friendships.
The researchers conducted a survey of almost 530 people. As the findings showed, over 90 percent of them said that they could think of a long-lost friend and would like to speak with him again. However, when they were asked to send a message, only about one out of ten actually did.
“We all know that trying to change people’s minds might not be the best practice,” says Nora Marshal, lead researcher of the study. “Instead of changing people’s minds, we needed to change their behavior.”
The research team came up with a new strategy, which was tested out by conducting a “warm-up” practice. One group spent three minutes sending messages to their present friends, while the other group spent three minutes watching videos on their phones. Then, everyone was asked to write and send a message to an old friend.
The practice task proved successful: 62 percent of those who had warmed up did send the message — a two-thirds increase over those who hadn’t. By contrast, only 11 percent of those watching videos reached out to an old friend.
So why is getting old friends reconnected difficult and we need to practise some warm-ups first Over time, old friends can start to feel like strangers. That is why people feel worried about reconnecting. “We advise people not to overthink the situation and just press’ send’,” said Nora. “Just take their friend’s position and think about how much they would appreciate receiving a note from an old friend.”
8. What does the new study show
A. People are afraid to lose their old friends. B. People seldom hear from their old friends.
C. People are unwilling to pick up their old friendship. D. People usually don’t dare to contact old friends first.
9. How did the researchers get the findings
A By carrying out a survey. B. By discussing with 530 people.
C. By teaming up with other groups. D. By comparing people’s minds and behavior.
10. What is the key step of the new strategy
A. Changing people’s minds. B. Reading some warm-up messages.
C. Watching videos related to friendship. D. Contacting present friends to warm up.
11. What is Nora Marshal’s suggestion for us
A. Appreciate your friend’s efforts. B. Be brave to reach out to strangers.
C. Feel free to reconnect our old friends. D. Consider carefully before taking action.

With an AI tool, researchers study penguin photos taken by tourists and scientists to track Adélie penguins in Antarctica. “Right now, everyone has a camera in their pocket, and the number of photos we could collect for studying will be out of our expectation,” says Thomas Brown, a scientist from an international research team.
With guidance from an expert the AI tool is able to get a handle on and draw out the penguin groups in pared with human, the AI finds and marks Adélie penguins in these photos more quickly, taking only 5 to 10 seconds per image.
The team created a 3D map of the Antarctica to know exactly where the photos were taken. By identifying the details in the tourist pictures, the researchers could place the photographer and the habitats of the Adélie penguin groups within the 3D map to get a bird’s eye view. This allows researchers to track how Adélie penguin groups change in location and population size over time. Such tracking is important because it can tell the climate changes. That is what researchers want to know. Similarly, the AI tool can also use historical photos to track natural signs such as glacier (冰川) changes that develop very slowly and may only be obvious by looking across many years.
Opinions about AI tools are different among researchers. Some worry that using tourist photos for research may encourage more people to visit Antarctica, which might lead to more tourist activities and could destroy the ecosystem in the end. However, for Thomas, he believes studying tourist photos with the AI tool could be useful, especially as many penguin groups have not been noticed by the research community. “Since Antarctica is hard to study twenty-four-seven,” says Thomas, “this method is helpful for keeping an eye on penguin groups that might only get studied once in a while.”
12. Why do the research team use an AI tool in their study
A. To collect the photos from tourists. B. To follow moving paths of penguins.
C. To study the photos taken by tourists. D. To identify the 3D map of Antarctica.
13. Which of the following can replace the underlined “get a handle on” in Paragraph 2
A. Identify. B. Ignore.
C. Explore. D. Revise.
14 What do researchers want to know by tracking Adélie penguins
A. Glacier sizes. B. Location marks.
C. Climate changes. D. Penguin numbers.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. 3D map helps locate penguin groups. B. Adélie penguins help develop AI tools.
C. Penguins show signs of climate change. D. Researchers use AI to track penguin groups.

【57题答案】
【答案】Dear fellow students,
Standardized Chinese character writing is of great significance. It not only reflects our cultural heritage but also helps convey information clearly. A neat and standardized writing can leave a good impression on others.
Here are some suggestions. First, practice regularly with copybooks, making is a routine. Second, it is very important to pay attention to the structure and strokes of each character. Third, since many studnets don’t have a right posture, it is suggested that we should keep a proper writing posture and pen-holding gesture.
Let’s take action now to improve our Chinese character writing and inherit our excellent traditional culture.
Best regards,
Li Hua
