Imagine a large open space with two teams running, throwing, passing and catching a disc, a thin flat round dish. It is called flying disc, the newest popular sport in young people in China. A research shows about 60% of people saying they like to make new friends through the sport. The Chinese Flying Disc Committee (委员会) says about 500,000 people in China played flying disc last year, producing over 8,000,000 yuan.
How did flying disc get such great popularity in China in a short time First, it is a team sport. It helps everyone quickly get to know each other.

The growing popularity got attention of the Chinese government. In 2019, the Asia Flying Disc Game was held in Shanghai. It is the first world match in this sport held in China. In July 2022, the Chinese Flying Disc Committee decided China’s first flying disc game starting in August and the final match to be held in May next year.

Japanese producer of milk and dairy products came up with a clever way of encouraging kids to finish their milk bottles at lunch-painting the bottles with manga comics（漫画）.
Seki Milk'a milk producer and processor in Japan's Gifu Prefecture, has been serving its products to local schools. These years the company has seen the need for milk drop clearly. According to its own research, around 65% of school students were not finishing their milk bottles at lunch. This caused unnecessary food waste and also took calcium and other valuable nutrients（营养）away from students.
However, if you're a parent, you probably know that getting kids to eat healthy food isn't the easiest thing in the world. Luckily, Seki Milk came up with an original and fun way to encourage children to finish their milk-manga bottles.
Seki Milk teamed up with ad agency Geometry Ogilvy Japan to create an interesting manga series.Students could only read the comics after emptying the milk bottles of their nutritious content. The manga is printed on the bottle in white paint, so it can only be seen after the bottle is emptied of milk.
A video shows that ingredients on the bottles are changed into playful and often strong characters, which makes the manga's story more interesting. Butter looks like a scared ghost that other animals are all afraid of. Ice is a lovely girl, cheese acts as a monster-looking character, and cream appears in the air as a sweet lady with a flying umbrella. With fun characters like these, children may have to collect milk bottles to fully learn and read more about them.
Although students don't have to finish the milk only to get the manga art on the bottles, ________. After all, we can see more and more empty milk bottles.
When can the kids read the whole manga comics on the milk bottle
A. Before they drink the milk. B. After they finish the milk.
C. When they drink half of the milk. D. While they watch the bottle carefully.
23. Why does it mention parents' idea at the beginning of Para.3
A. There's no wonder that children always don't finish their milk.
B. Parents worry a lot about their children's health problem.
C. It's difficult to ask the kids to eat more healthy food.
D. It helps to bring out the importance of Seki's idea.
24. Which of the following can be put in the________in Para.6
A. it's really difficult for them to understand the real meaning of the manga art
B. we should be thankful for Seki Milk's creative idea to this difficult problem
C. nothing can take the place of the manga art in the kids' mind
D. Japanese producer of milk will make the milk bottle more interesting
25. What’s the purpose of the writing
A. To encourage the children to drink more milk and keep healthy.
B. To show that manga art is one of the important symbols in Japan.
C. To introduce a new way to encourage kids to drink more milk.
D. To explain how much nutrition a bottle of milk contains.
