Born in Hubei in 1518 in the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen is a famous medical scholar who has sort of the same position as Leonardo da Vinci in the West.
Both his father and grandfather were doctors. His father wanted him to enter the government by passing the Imperial Examination. Li studied for the exams and passed the country-level examination, but he was never able to pass the Imperial Examination.
When he was 27, he cured (治愈) the son of a Chu prince and was invited to be a doctor and official (官员) at court. A few years later, he became an official at the Imperial Medical Institute. During the year he spent there, he could see rare and old medical texts. He thought the available medical texts were inaccurate (不精确的) and even had dangerous misinformation. So he wanted to write the most accurate natural medical text.
To research for his book Bencao Gangmu, he traveled a lot and gained first-hand experience, and he consulted (查阅) hundreds of books. He worked on it for decades and tried to have it published both by a private printer and by the court.

Two Swedish students have invented a new kind of bicycle helmet (头盔). It’s invisible (隐形的) because you cannot see it on a rider’s head.
The helmet is really a kind of airbag. It is inside a large collar (衣领). People wear it around their neck like a scarf. When the rider falls off his or her bike, the collar quickly fills with air and an airbag appears around the head.
The two students, Anna Haupt and Terese Alstinat, wanted to change the way people ride bikes. They said, “Bicycle helmets have always been the same. They’re so bulky, like a hard mushroom (蘑菇) on the head.” They called their new invention the H vding. The pair said it looked so cool that people would be happy to wear it.
The inventors started researching and developing the helmet a few years ago. They studied thousands of accidents. They wanted to find out how to make the safest helmet. They worked with a Swedish airbag company called Alva. And then the invisible helmet came out. Today, the two inventors have their own company that sells the new helmets. There are 17 workers in their company. They hope their helmet will change how people all over the world ride bikes.
In their video, Haupt and Alstinat said, “Cars are so yesterday. Bikes are the future.” People can not only take exercise but also experience the beauty of nature when they ride bikes. Now people can only buy the helmet online in Europe. It sells for around $530. The company did not say when people in the rest of the world could buy it.

①Can you imagine a sea of sand three times bigger than India This is the Sahara Desert, the largest desert in the world. It covers 11 countries in North Africa and is over 9 million square kilometres. That’s more than 25% of Africa.
②In the Sahara, temperatures are very different during the day and at night. It is much hotter during the day. The hottest time is between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., when temperatures rise to 38℃. But it is very cold at night—the coldest time is at 4 a.m., when temperatures fall to -4℃. The Sahara is also very dry. It seldom rains. Because of the temperatures in the desert, it is a very difficult place to survive. Here are some tips on how to stay alive in the Sahara Desert.
③During the day, cover your body, head and face. Clothes protect you from the sun and keep water in your body. You will also need a warm blanket at night. It can get cold very quickly.When the temperature drops, it can be a shock and make you feel even colder.
④A car is easier to see than a person walking in the desert. You can also use the mirrors from your car to signal to planes and other cars. You can use your car tyres (轮胎) to make a fire. A fire is easy to see. It will help people find you and it will keep you warm at night.
⑤Try to drink some water at least once every hour. You need your water to last as long as possible. Drink only what you need. When you talk, you lose water from your body. Keep your mouth closed and do not talk.
⑥If you eat, you will get thirsty and drink all of your water more quickly. You can eat a little, but only to stop you from feeling very hungry. Eat very small amounts of food and eat very slowly. You can live for three weeks with no food, but you can only live for three days without water.
⑦A small place near a tree or a rock will be the warmest. But be careful before you decide where to sleep. Dangerous animals like snakes and scorpions also like to sleep in these places. Look carefully for animals before you lie down.

In the most southern part of our planet, there’s a place that’s covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.
As the world’s least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.
Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen food which can be heated easily is people’s daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather.
Sleep is also difficult. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”.
Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的) winds. They can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.
What’s more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.
Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists’ passion to learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.
65．Scientists from China go to Antarctica to ________.
A．find out ways to control water pollution B．grow plants and vegetables in special condition

You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera (歌剧) in English rather than speaking poetic Chinese
Jia and Lin are two characters from the Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions (《红楼 梦》), written by Cao Xueqin (1715—1763). Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, the US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan in 2017.
Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights (剧作家). Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera.
The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a tragedy (悲剧) that everyone would understand.
The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters by using costumes (服装) and stage decorations. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage.
The creators considered the work of introducing a Chinese classic to Western audience was worth doing. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where my parents were born”.

If you are comfortable showing off your moves on the dance floor, you may know what to do if someone asks you to join them in a twist (扭动), a jive (跳摇摆舞), a hustle (猛拉), a pogo (原地上下跳) or even a bit of moshing (狂舞)!

There are very few rules. Street dance is often improvised (即兴表演) and done among friends while listening to a mobile music player. It is open to anyone of any age, anywhere and any time.
Because it is a social activity, it has provided many young people, especially those in poorer city areas with a strong gang (帮派) culture, helping these young people getting into trouble. For example, the street dance group-Diversity, was formed when a group of brothers and friends from East London and Essex got together. The group has achieved fame because of a popular television talent show-Britain’s Got Talent.
