The Zozobra Festival is a unique cultural event in Santa Fe staged annually by the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe in Zozobra Field at Fort Marcy Park on the Friday of Labor Day weekend as an exciting finale to the last days of summer.
The history of Zozobra
Artist William Howard “Will” Shuster Jr. created the first Zozobra in 1924 as the signature highlight of a private party for Los Cinco Pintores, a group of artists and writers who made their way to New Mexico in the 1920s. Shuster drew inspiration from Mexico’s Yaqui Indians and their traditions, where an effigy (塑像) is led around the village on a donkey (驴) and then set alight. The painter named his 6-foot-tall effigy Zozobra, a Spanish word meaning “pain” or “anxiety”.
Celebrating a century-old tradition
“Zozobra is a tradition here,” says New Mexico History Museum Curator Hannah Abelbeck. “Zozobra wouldn’t exist unless Santa Fe cared about it and invested in it.” To celebrate the festival’s birthday, Abelbeck’s museum, located in downtown Santa Fe, has opened a new, two-year-long exhibition (展览) that explores Zozobra’s history and cultural influences.
Putting fears into the fire
As always in the weeks before Zozobra’s burning, people dutifully write down their fears and anxieties on pieces of paper and drop them into boxes. These are collected and their contents filled inside the effigy, adding additional fuel for the fire. A crowd of 75,000 people is expected to come to Fort Marcy, a local park that’s a five-minute drive from Santa Fe’s Central Plaza, to see the impressive view. As night falls, the dancing Fire Spirit appears and then lights the effigy in the hope of putting people’s fears into the fire.
1. What inspired Shuster to create the Zozobra Festival
A. Celebrations in his hometown. B. Eye-catching artworks by his friends.
C. Well-designed language training courses. D. Traditions in the Yaqui Indian communities.
2. Why does New Mexico History Museum host the great exhibition
A. To explore the history of Mexico. B. To show the changes the state has seen.
C. To mark the birthday of Zozobra. D. To honor writers from around the world.
3. What do people hope to do by burning the effigy
A. Welcome the New Year. B. Destroy worrisome feelings.
C. Face hardships fearlessly. D. Be careful about possible fires.
B
The Chinese New Year parade isn't the only place to watch a lion dance in. the San Francisco Bay Area. At weddings, grand openings of new businesses and other celebrations, the traditional Chinese art is performed year-round, thanks to the contributions of lion dance groups and young people increasingly embracing the activity.
Connie Lu, a senior at Lincoln High School in San Francisco, has been practicing lion dance for three years in a youth lion dance club. She performed as the lion's head at a high school competition during the weekend in San Francisco's Chinatown to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
“I officially started performing in my freshman year, but I had been a ’tail’ in a Chinese school for some years. I was only following the head’s steps,” Lu said. “I think being a head is more fun because you can play out the lion.”
Lu’s team — eleven girls and two boys — participated in the competition, along with four other teams of about 100 players. The event also attracted hundreds of tourists. Blinking big eyes and shaking the body, the yellow lion played by Lu and her teammates jumped up on a narrow bench to the beat of drums and gongs and picked up a hanging flower bouquet. The dancers’ skillful movements won a big round of applause from the audience.
Each performance has a unique meaning. Lu’s performance tells the story of a lion who tries to cross a river to get a flower for his friend, but he is afraid of the river at first. Finally, he conquers the challenge and gets the flower to his friend.
“The meaning is that everyone has struggles in life and it can be scary. But when we work together and work hard, we can achieve it,” said Sophia Lee, a teammate of Lu’s. “The practice of lion dancing serves as a way to celebrate our cultural heritage with audience abroad, giving them a deeper understanding and appreciation for the rich Chinese traditions.”
4. What might be Lu’s favourite role in a lion dance
A. The head. B. The tail. C. The body. D. The leg.
5. How many teams joined in the competition in total
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
6. What can we learn about Lu in the competition
A. She was unfamiliar with a lion dance. B. Her role is still scary for her.
C. She gave up in the face of difficulty. D. Her performance tells a story of a brave lion.
7. What does Sophia Lee agree with about the lion dance
A. It focuses on individual spirit. B. It's a chance to share Chinese culture.
C. It's hardly accepted abroad. D. It doesn't require a high level of skills.
C
In recent years, I have tried to appreciate younger artists such as Doja Cat, Lil Nas X and Sabrina Carpenter, but songs from the 2000s hold a special place in my heart and mind.
As I see other generations of music lovers say music was so much better when they were younger I wondered why. We can’t all be right—or maybe we are, I talked to experts about how music influences our brains to find out.
“It’s not that music was better when we were younger it’s that music brings out very, very strong emotions,” said Dr. Rita Aiello, a music psychologist at New York University. “Music is a very strong reminder of things that happened in our past.”
But why does music hold such power “Music is episodic (情景性的),” said Dr. Robert Cutietta, a professor of music at the University of Southern California. “If you look at an artwork or something, you can look at it and leave, Music is over time. There’s a part of our brain called episodic memory—that’s where it goes.”
The feelings connected to music during our younger years create a strong, lasting connection, with both happy and sad emotions mixing together when we listen to a song.
What if you see the 1970s and 1980s as the best, time for real music, even though every decade has some high- or low-quality songs It may be because you’re remembering the songs that were meaningful to you and forgetting the ones that weren’t. “There are situations that made certain songs special to you, and the memories of those situations will come back when you hear the songs,” Aiello said.
“Every era has some songs that are not of high quality but still become huge hits,” Cutietta said. “They’re still there somewhere in our memory, but we choose not to pull those up. Naturally, we tend to pull up the songs we like.”
8. Why do people prefer music from their youth according to experts
A. New music lacks creativity. B. Today’s songs have a really quick beat.
C. It can connect their feelings with the past. D. It always brings out happy emotions.
9. Why does Cutietta mention an artwork in paragraph 4
A. To make a comparison. B. To lead in the topic.
C. To give a warning. D. To offer a suggestion.
10. What does the author say about music from different times
A. The 1970s and 1980s had the worst music.
B. The 2000s is the only time with good music.
C. Each decade has a mix of good and bad songs.
D. Bad music from the 1980s has become popular today.
11. What does the underlined word “those” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Pop singers. B. Bad experiences.
C. Favourite songs. D. Popular but low-quality songs.
D
Titania Jordan, working at Bark Technologies, knows that parents today face a tough challenge: raising kids in a world filled with technology. That’s why she’s devoted to helping them navigate the digital landscape. “Parents need to be aware of what their children are exposed to online,” she stresses. “It’s not just about monitoring; it’s about understanding and leading them through this new world.”
Jordan and her team work on developing tools that allow parents to protect their children from the dangers of the Internet. “We help parents filter out things like cyberbullying, inappropriate contents, and even potential attackers,” she explains. The platform sends warnings to parents when it detects something concerning, giving them the power to take action.
Jordan believes that education is key. “We need to educate parents about the risks and how to talk to their kids about them,” she says. She often holds classes and talks, explaining why it’s important to talk openly and set good limits on how much technology we use.
One of the biggest problems Jordan addresses is the fear of missing out that children experience when they see their friends posting about fun events which they’re not part of. “It’s crucial for parents to help their children understand that social media often shows the best parts, not reality,” she says. “We need to teach them to appreciate real-life experiences rather than comparing themselves to others online.”
Jordan also stresses the importance of setting a good example. “Parents should model healthy tech habits,” she advises. “If parents are always on their phones, their kids will follow suit. But if parents show balance, it sends a strong message about the role of technology in our lives.”
“Despite the challenges,” Jordan adds, “technology is here to stay, and we just need to ensure it’s used in a way that enriches our children’s lives, not harms them.”
12. What does Jordan suggest parents do when their children use the Internet
A. Offer instruction. B. Turn a blind eye.
C. Monitor everything. D. Cut Internet access.
13. What does the underlined phrase “filter out” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Add. B. Remove. C. Keep. D. Mix.
14. How are parents advised to deal with their children’s fear of missing out
A. By asking them to post fun events.
B. By showing them social media’s best parts.
C. By setting a good example in communicating with teachers.
D. By telling them to value reality over online comparisons.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Internet Developments and Threats B. A Parent’s Guide in Kids’ Digital World
C. Social Media and Mental Health in Teens D. The Impact of Technology on Child Development

As the starting gun rang, I found myself among the sea of runners, my heart beating with a mix of excitement and anxiety. I had trained for months, preparing for the marathon that would test my limits and mark a big step in my sports journey. The first part of the run went quickly, and I felt good with my pace, breathing in the fresh air with every step.
However, as the sun climbed higher in the sky, the temperature started to go up, and the run began to make me tired. My legs felt heavier with each step, and I started to feel sick. Suddenly, I felt myself losing balance. Before I realized it, I had fallen onto the hot ground.
Everything was spinning (旋转) around me, but I could see someone coming closer. A runner from the pack (队伍) was at my side. “Are you OK ” he asked with a voice of concern. Without waiting for an answer, he helped me up to my feet and guided me to the medical aid station.
The doctors quickly checked how I was feeling. They gave me water and a break to ease my thirst and tiredness from the heat. As I drank water and put cold pads on my head, I started to feel better. The stranger, Alex, stayed by my side, giving me much comfort.

【答案】Dear Helen,
Last Friday, I had the chance to visit an eye-catching photo show on healthy eating in our school. The event showcased various tasty foods and highlighted their benefits for our well-being. There were amazing photos of fruits, vegetables, and balanced meals, along with informative posters on the importance of a balanced diet.
I found the show eye-opening as it stressed the significance of making good food choices for our health. It was a great opportunity to learn more about healthy eating in such a practical way.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】I looked at Alex, really thankful. “Thank you,” I managed to say. “I wouldn’t have made it without you.” Alex just smiled, his eyes kind and encouraging. “We’re all in this together,” he replied. Feeling more determined, I chose to keep running the race, even if it meant finishing at a slower pace. Alex, who first thought of running without me, decided to stay with me. Together, we picked up our pace to the finish line, and our friendship started to build with each shared mile. The cheers from the crowd celebrating the crossing of the finish line grew louder and clearer.
In the last few minutes, we ran towards the finish line hand in hand. Though we didn’t cross the finish line ahead of the pack, we received the warmest applause, because we had won something far more valuable — a friendship that was built on the understanding of what it means to support one another in the face of difficulty.
