Liu Wei is a Confucius Institute (孔子学院) kung fu teacher at the University of Sierra Leone (塞拉利昂). To help his students learn kung fu well, Liu puts lots of effort into researching and improving his teaching methods. He teaches martial arts (武术) in a creative way, making learning more enjoyable.

Liu Wei’s students were introduced to kung fu through movies and TV shows. Kung fu movies and TV shows are very popular among them. That’s where Liu Wei has got his new ideas of teaching. He uses movie clips (片段) in class to help students learn kung fu better. “Martial arts classes should not be just about martial arts skills” Liu said. He also teaches students the Chinese language and other knowledge he considers necessary for their overall martial arts development. He encourages his students to take part in all kinds of cultural exchange (交流) activities, including martial arts performances and traditional Chinese festivals.

“I used to think kung fu was just for movies. Now I have a better understanding of its spirit,” one of Liu’s students, Georgiana, said. After meeting Liu, many students expressed a strong wish to visit China.

So far, Liu has taught nearly 1,000 students. “In the future, I want to build a ‘martial arts bridge’ between China and Sierra Leone,” he said. “I hope more and more people come to China to enjoy the beauty of rich Chinese culture.”

There are two kinds of squirrels (松鼠) in the UK: the red squirrel and the grey squirrel. However, the population of red squirrels has become smaller since the last century. This is mainly because grey squirrels have made the life of red squirrels more difficult. Grey squirrels are bigger and stronger, so they are better at competing for food and areas to live. Grey squirrels also carry a virus (病毒). This virus doesn’t harm grey squirrels, but it can be dangerous for red squirrels.

However, scientists have developed a system (系统) to help boost red squirrel numbers. And it uses artificial intelligence (AI). AI is a computer that has learned from experience and can do things that usually need human intelligence. The AI system has been trained to look at photos of squirrels and tell red squirrels from grey squirrels. The aim of the system is to help red squirrels by giving them more food, while stopping grey squirrel population from getting even bigger. To stop grey squirrel population getting bigger, the AI system can offer grey squirrels a kind of special food that stops them having babies. Scientists check the AI has recognized grey squirrels properly. 

What’s next? Scientists think the AI could also be taught to recognize squirrels by their whiskers (胡须). This could help scientists follow squirrels more closely. For example, if a red squirrel gets sick, the AI could let scientists know quickly. 

With the help of AI the number of red squirrels might rise soon. “This isn’t just about squirrels,” Dr. Smith, a wildlife scientist, says. “It’s also about learning to protect wildlife with technology.”

A. Study.

①Making healthy choices is important. Eating the right food, staying active and getting enough sleep can help your body in lots of ways.

②Picking the right food gives you the energy to do all the things you love. It also helps your body grow and your brain develop. Eating things such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains (全谷物) is good for your health. However, being healthy doesn’t mean you can never eat snacks. It’s about making sure you have a balanced diet. “When you choose a balanced diet, you’ll have more energy, feel better and be able to do the things you love,” Lucy Upton, a children’s dietitian (营养学家), says. 

③Another healthy choice you can make is being active—whether it’s sports, going for a walk or playing a game of “it”. Being active helps your brain make special chemicals. These chemicals can relax your body and calm your mind. Being active can help your body and your mind stay fighting fit. Feeling fit can make you feel better and more confident about yourself. When you play a ball game with others, you can even make new friends. 

④Finally, getting enough sleep is also very important. Sleep helps your body grow. While you sleep, your brain is busy building new connections and your body is repairing itself. Preparing properly for bedtime helps you stay asleep. A good way to tire yourself out is by getting plenty of exercise during the day, like walking to and from school or doing sports. Take an hour or two to rest or relax after a period of activities before bed. Don’t drink tea or coffee, and turn off phones, computers and video games. Try reading a book instead.

⑤Remember: making healthy choices is key to keep your body and your mind fit and strong. Let’s get started now!

四、读写结合（共7小题；第51—56小题，每小题2分，第57小题3分，满分15分）

请阅读下面语篇，根据语篇内容，填写表格中所缺的信息（每空限填一词），并回答问题。

Many young people around the world are taking small actions to save the earth. Let’s go on a journey to meet some of them.

Young Litter Hero  

Litter is a big problem around the world. It can end up in rivers and lakes where it pollutes the water. In the UK, two million pieces of rubbish are dropped every day. Harlee, 6, from the UK, is thought to be younger than any other litter-picker in his country. After Harlee noticed lots of rubbish near his local fast food restaurants, he decided to pick up waste in his spare time. His efforts are having an impact (巨大影响).

Young Plastic Hero    

Plastic is used to make many things we use every day. When these things are thrown away, some of them end up in the ocean. The plastic does harm to animals and plants in the ocean. Tony, 13, from Canada, set up the Plastic Money Shop when he was six years old. People can trade their single-use plastic for free rice, school things or a young tree in the shop. The unwanted rubbish is turned into school chairs and roof (屋顶) materials for houses. “The goal of my project is to take every single-use plastic away from our planet,” explains Tony.

Young Tree Hero    

Trees are necessary for our planet. They clean the air, provide a home for wildlife and keep our drinking water safe. But in 2022, planet Earth lost 66,000 square kilometres of forest worldwide. Ellyanne, 14, from Kenya (肯尼亚), decided to change that. She began planting trees when she was four years old. In 2017, she started an activity called Children With Nature to show other kids how they can make a difference in their own area. So far, she has planted more than 250,000 trees around the world. “No matter how old or young you are, you can start making a difference,” says Ellyanne.

A lot of work is still needed to protect the earth. If more of us can be like these young people, it will certainly make life better for everyone.
