A
In Shandong province, schools are finding new ways to help students learn about traditional culture. At Weifang No. 8 Middle School, students recently took part in a recitation competition called “The Voice of the Yellow River.” They wore traditional Hanfu and recited poems about the Yellow River. Eighth-grader Han Zixian did a wonderful job reciting a poem by Li Bai.
“The Yellow River culture is an important part of our lessons,” a school teacher said. The school has a team that studies three cultural topics: farming, red spirit (revolutionary stories), and local traditional arts.
In Dongying, a city where the Yellow River meets the sea, students learn by doing. At No. 3 Middle School, students take a special class that combines geography and history. They study how to protect the Yellow River wetland. They even test soil samples from the river to learn about soil loss. “We don’t just read from books anymore,” a teacher said. “When students do real work, knowledge becomes more real and exciting.”
By 2026, new textbooks will be used in all grades across China. These books will have more content about traditional Chinese culture. Shandong’s new way of teaching may set an example for other provinces.
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Shandong schools are using creative methods to teach traditional culture.
B. Students in Shandong do not like reading textbooks.
C. The Yellow River is the most important river in China.
2. In Weifang No. 8 Middle School’s recitation competition, what did students wear?
A. Traditional Hanfu.
B. Modern school uniforms.
C. Yellow River-themed T-shirts.
3. Why does the teacher say “knowledge becomes more real and exciting” in paragraph 3?
A. Because students prefer watching videos to reading.
B. Because the Yellow River is a fun place to visit.
C. Because hands-on activities help students understand better.

At a world motorcycle race in Portugal, a Chinese brand called Zhangxue Motorcycle did something amazing. It broke the long-time control of European, Japanese, and American brands in the middleweight category. This surprised the whole racing world.
For many years, people thought Chinese motorcycles were not good enough. But Zhangxue has changed that idea. Its core parts are 100% made in China. What really impressed people was the engine. Japanese and European brands had many patents (专利) to stop others from making good engines. But Zhangxue spent 18 months finding its own way and made a three-cylinder (三缸) engine.
Why is a three-cylinder engine special? A two-cylinder engine is fast at the start but weak later. A four-cylinder engine is strong for a long time but slow to start. The three-cylinder engine is good at both: it starts fast and keeps going strong. It is also lighter and easier to control.
Zhangxue’s winning motorcycle has more power, less weight, and a lower center of gravity. And it costs only one-third of the price of similar foreign motorcycles. A British fan wrote online: “Chinese motorcycles coming to the West is great for the industry. People say motorcycle riding is dying, but China is bringing new energy.”
Zhangxue’s success is not just about winning races. It shows that Chinese products can compete with the best in the world.
4. What did Zhangxue Motorcycle achieve at the race in Portugal?
A. It won a race in the lightweight category.
B. It became the first Chinese brand to enter the race.
C. It broke the control of top brands in the middleweight category.
5. What does the phrase “changed that idea” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The idea that three-cylinder engines are useless.
B. The idea that racing is too expensive.
C. The idea that Chinese motorcycles are of poor quality.
6. What is an advantage of Zhangxue’s three-cylinder engine?
A. It is cheaper than any other engine.
B. It works best on rainy days.
C. It starts fast and also keeps going strong.
7. What can we learn from the British fan’s comment?
A. He thinks Chinese motorcycles are bad for the industry.
B. He believes China is bringing new life to motorcycle riding.
C. He prefers Japanese motorcycles to Chinese ones.

Imagine leaving your home in a flying taxi, flying over traffic, and landing at your destination in minutes. This idea, once only seen in movies, is becoming real. The global push for flying cars is getting stronger.
In January 2026, Volvo showed its latest flying car model. In the United States, Archer Aviation plans to start flying taxi services in Los Angeles by late 2026. Experts believe 2026-2027 will be a turning point. Flying cars will move from research to real business.
Why is this happening so fast? Two main reasons: the fast growth of electric vehicle technology and helpful government policies. China’s 15th Five-Year Plan asks for faster development of new industries, including the low-altitude (低空) economy. Also, traffic jams in cities are getting worse. People need new ways to travel. Flying cars offer a solution — using the sky to solve problems on the ground.
But there are still challenges. Safety rules, air traffic management, and public acceptance all take time. As one expert said, “The technology is ready, but the systems around it are still being built.”
Still, the future looks bright. Big banks say the flying car industry could reach $1.5 trillion by 2040. The race to the skies has begun.
8. According to the article, what is a “flying taxi”?
A. A kind of electric car that can fly.
B. A new type of bus for airports.
C. A taxi that runs on solar energy.
9. When do experts think flying cars will have a commercial breakthrough (商业突破)?
A. By 2025.
B. By 2030.
C. Between 2026 and 2027.
10. Which of the following is a reason for the push toward flying cars?
A. Electric vehicle technology is improving fast.
B. People are buying fewer traditional cars.
C. Flying cars are cheaper than regular cars.
11. What can be inferred from the expert’s comment in paragraph 4?
A. The technology for flying cars is not yet ready.
B. The technology is ready, but other systems need more work.
C. Most countries have banned flying cars for safety reasons.
D
In Qufu, Shandong — the birthplace of Confucius over 2,500 years ago — 19-year-old Tsin Yuhei from Hong Kong carefully pressed paper onto an old stone tablet (石碑). She put ink on the paper and slowly four Chinese characters appeared: “择善而从” (choose the good and follow it).
“This saying shows the heart of Confucian values,” Tsin said. “It teaches us to do what is right and learn from good people. Trying this old art form makes the lesson real — not just words in a book.”
Tsin was part of a weeklong study trip to Shandong. Since June, many students from different ages have come to this birthplace of Chinese civilization.
In early July, at an old building behind the Kong Family Mansion, a group of Russian teenagers sat quietly, painting golden dragons and phoenixes. Under expert guidance, they learned to mix colors and bring their designs to life.
Qufu now offers more than just sightseeing. The town has fun, hands-on activities: archaeological digs where students experience real digging, woodworking classes teaching traditional joints, calligraphy (书法) lessons, and even Confucian food tours where visitors learn the meaning behind each dish.
A guide at the site said, “When I see young visitors amazed by the skills of our ancestors, I feel great cultural pride.”
12. What did Tsin Yuhei learn from her experience at the research institute?
A. How to paint dragons and phoenixes.
B. The history of the Kong Family Mansion.
C. The Confucian value of choosing the good and following it.
13. What kinds of activities can visitors do in Qufu today?
A. Only visit old buildings and museums.
B. Watch modern dance shows.
C. Join hands-on activities like digging, woodworking, and calligraphy.
14. Why does the guide feel “great cultural pride”?
A. Because she built the old walls herself.
B. Because young visitors are amazed by the skills of ancient Chinese people.
C. Because she received an award for her work.
15. What is the main purpose of this article?
A. To tell people where to stay in Qufu.
B. To show how Qufu makes Chinese culture fun and interesting for young people.
C. To compare Confucius with other great thinkers.

Greetings Across Cultures
“Have you eaten?” — one of China’s oldest greetings — goes far beyond daily politeness. As a Chinese university student recently pointed out at an international contest, this simple phrase expresses genuine care for universal human concerns.
16 In many Western cultures, particularly English-speaking countries, the standard greeting is often “How are you?” or simply “Hello.” While these phrases may seem similar on the surface, they reflect deep cultural differences.
Chinese greetings often focus on concrete aspects of daily life — whether someone has eaten, where they are going, or how their family is doing. 17
The difference reveals something important: Chinese communication tends to be more relationship-oriented, while Western communication is often more individual-oriented. Neither approach is better — 18
As globalization brings people from different backgrounds closer together, understanding these cultural differences becomes increasingly valuable. 19
For young people today, mastering cross-cultural communication is not just about learning vocabulary and grammar. 20
A. This shows respect for others’ well-being through practical matters.
B. But greetings vary significantly across different cultural backgrounds.
C. It’s about understanding the values and perspectives behind the words.
D. Chinese greetings are longer and more complicated than English ones.
E. they simply reflect different ways of expressing care and respect.
F. When traveling abroad, knowing how to greet others appropriately helps build positive relationships across cultures.

When 15-year-old Li Ming from Jinan first heard about AI-powered learning platforms, he was skeptical. “I thought AI was just for video games,” he admits with a laugh. But his school’s new English program changed his 21.
The platform uses generative AI to create personalized 22 paths for each student.

Li Ming, who had always found English reading challenging, was assigned articles about his hobbies — basketball and space exploration. “The AI knows what I’m interested in,” he says. “I’m 25 reading in English now because the texts are actually 26.”
The benefits extend beyond engagement. According to a recent OECD report, generative AI has the potential to enhance personalized learning and provide high-quality feedback at scale when pedagogically designed. 27, the report also warns against overreliance on AI, noting that it could 28 cognitive engagement and deep learning if students use it as a shortcut rather than a tool.-

Teen Volunteers: A Win-Win for Mental Health
Volunteering is often seen as a way to help others. But a growing body of research suggests it may be just as beneficial for the volunteers themselves — especially teenagers.
A 2025 study published in a leading academic journal examined the relationship between volunteering and adolescent well-being. Analyzing data from thousands of young people, researchers found that teens who volunteered regularly had significantly lower rates of loneliness and social isolation.-
“Loneliness and social isolation are gaining recognition as major public health concerns, especially for youth,” the study noted. The findings showed that volunteering was associated with lower odds of difficulty making or keeping friends, as well as fewer behavioral or conduct problems.
Why does volunteering have such positive effects? Experts suggest several reasons.
First, volunteering provides opportunities for meaningful social connection. When teenagers work together toward a common goal — cleaning up a park, tutoring younger children, or helping at a food bank — they form bonds that go beyond casual friendships.
Second, volunteering builds a sense of purpose and self-worth. Many adolescents struggle with questions like “Who am I?” and “What do I matter?” Volunteering offers concrete answers: I am someone who can make a difference. I matter because I helped someone today.
Schools across the country are taking notice. Many have started requiring service hours or integrating volunteer opportunities into their curricula. “It’s not just about checking a box,” said one high school principal. “It’s about helping students discover that helping others is one of the best ways to help themselves.”
For teenagers feeling stressed, anxious, or isolated, volunteering might be an unexpected but powerful prescription. The research is clear: when you give your time to others, you also give something valuable to yourself.
41. Does volunteering help reduce feelings of loneliness and social isolation among teenagers?
42. Is the main benefit of volunteering for teenagers helping others or helping themselves?
43. What negative outcomes were associated with lower odds for teenagers who volunteered regularly?
44. Why does volunteering help teenagers build a sense of purpose and self-worth?
45. What are some schools doing to encourage student volunteering?
