24、An explosion( 爆炸)  from a factory in Kunshan killed at least 69 people and more than 120 people got hurt. China had its worst accident in industry on a Saturday in 2014.

The accident happened in Kunshan city, Jiangsu Province in China. And the explosion was from Zhongrong Metal Products Company, who makes car wheels for the U.S. The Kunshan government told us 264 workers were there when the explosion happened and 44 died at once. “We heard a really loud explosion at about 7 a.m. this morning, so we rushed out of our rooms, ” said Zhou Xu, a 26-year-old worker at that company. Another worker said, “First the ambulance came and then many wives rushed to the factory to see if their husbands were okay.”

Now, Shanghai government is sending doctors to Kunshan to save the wounded. And the doctor said the number of the dead may increase.

25、Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce a child’s chance of becoming short-sighted, a research shows. It challenges (挑战) the belief that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.

The Australian government researchers believe that sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.

Both groups spent a similar amount of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However, the Australian children spent an average(平均) of two hours a day outdoors—90 minutes more than the Singaporean children.

Professor(教授) Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s Vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world—and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.”

Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people becoming short-sighted.

So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports.

【1】How much time did the Singaporean children spend outdoors on average every day in the research?

A. 2 hours. B. 90 minutes.

C. 1 hour.   D. 30 minutes.

【2】What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?

A. Why people become short-sighted.

B. Why natural light has a special chemical.

C. Why playing outside is good for one’s eyesight.

D. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.

【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. People will all become short-sighted after they begin to go to school.

B. Playing outdoors for 2 or 3 hours every day can help protect your eyesight.

C. Children in Australia are more likely to get short-sighted than those in Singapore.

D. If you spend two or three hours playing outside each day, you won’t get short-sighted.

The search for camping on the website increased most in Sichuan province and Chongqing, where many people looked for camping road trips and beautiful natural views. People preferred local and short tours due to the country’s COVID-19 controls. While those in Guangdong province took their favorite snacks to campsites (营地), mountain views and landscapes were most attractive to travelers in Guizhou province. Both youth and those traveling with children regarded camping as a way to feel nature and enjoyed outdoor activities such as cycling and paddle boarding, and they liked to visit the Gobi Desert and the sea better. Preferred destinations ranged from the Gobi Desert to the sea.

The most popular routes during the holiday were Sichuan and Tibet of the National Highway 318, Hulunbuir Grassland and Hainan Island. Five-star hotels also offered lower prices and special experiences to local travelers during the holiday, such as cooking. Feng Rao, head of Mafengwo’s Tourism Research Institute, said that young people are more willing to pay for such special experiences. They are more interested in choosing local hotels.

27、Many people are trying to learn a new language. Some of them consider it as a hobby, while others have to learn a language because it is required by their jobs or study. As a foreigner who is really interested in Chinese culture, I like learning Chinese.

It is thought that a person needs to know at least 3,000 Chinese characters (汉字) to understand most Chinese newspapers. The problem for most foreigners, however, is that knowing 3,000 characters sounds like an impossible task, for many of the Chinese characters look the same. That’s why some people give up halfway. It’s the most difficult part for me, too. But I manage to learn how to write each character by watching videos online. Whenever 1 saw a character I didn’t know in the street or on a menu, I would just write it down on my phone and then look it up. Slowly I’ve learned the characters that are common in daily life.

It’s also important to listen to Chinese as much as possible. I downloaded (下载) a lot of listening materials onto my phone and listened to them on the way to school, work and even dates with my friends. 1 also watched a lot of Chinese TV shows and films, where the words are not so difficult and there are always subtitles (字幕). In this way, I’ve also learned how to express myself like a native.

As for speaking, I practice talking about different topics in Chinese when I am cycling around, effectively talking to myself or in my head, thinking through different conversations and scenarios (场景). For example, whenever I was going to a shop, I would think how to say that in Chinese. It helps me to think in a Chinese way, which is really important.

Learning a language is never easy. Basically, I just use every tool on hand and take my learning step by step, and I’m still learning new things to this day!

【1】The author learns Chinese because __________.

A．he wants to move to China.

B．he has found a job in China.

C．he hopes to know more about China.

【2】What’s the hardest part for the author to learn Chinese?

A．Reading.

B．Writing.

C．Speaking.

【3】What is the key point in practicing speaking?

A．Hanging out with Chinese friends.

B．Watching Chinese movies.

C．Thinking as a Chinese.

【4】What does the author suggest at the end of the passage?

A．It takes time to learn a language.

B．Chinese isn’t as hard as you think.

C．It’s easy to chat with Chinese people.

Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, "Friends are God's way of taking care of us." But how do you find real friendship and keep it?

The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some  【1】  to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like  【2】  a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.
