The theme and main logo for the 2025 Spring Festival Gala were officially (官方的) introduced on November 29, 2024. This great event, which marks the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac (生肖), promises to be a celebration (庆典) filled with joy and traditional Chinese culture. The theme for this year’s gala is “Si Si (巳巳) Ru Yi, Sheng Sheng Bu Xi,” which carries deep cultural and symbolic meanings.
The time from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. is called “Si Shi” in traditional Chinese timekeeping. In this system, a day is divided into 12 parts, and each part is two hours long. “Si” in Chinese represents (代表) the sixth part of the day, when the sun is high in the sky, symbolizing the rise of Yang energy and the hiding of Yin energy. It’s a time when everything seems to wake up and come to life, creating a beautiful scene. By using “Si Si Ru Yi” as the theme, the 2025 Spring Festival Gala hopes to bring good wishes to every family and the whole nation. “Sheng Sheng Bu Xi” means that life continues endlessly, representing the endless energy and prosperity of the Chinese nation.
The main logo is both creative and meaningful. Its design is inspired (启发) by traditional Chinese patterns (图案) and it uses the Oracle Bone character (甲骨文) “Si” as its creative element. In details, there are two “Si” characters put together in a mirror image. Making it look like “Yi” (乙) and “Si” (巳). This means good things will happen twice, like a double wish for luck. It’s a nice way to connect the Snake Year with good luck and send happy blessings (祝福) to everyone.
People are very excited to see this new logo and can’t wait for the 2025 Spring Festival Gala to start. It’s going to be a fantastic show, full of music, dance, and fun, just like every year.
3. What is the theme of the 2025 Spring Festival Gala

4. Which picture shows the time of “Si”
A. B. C.
5. What does the underlined word “prosperity” mean in Chinese
A. 繁荣昌盛 B. 艰难险阻 C. 风和日丽
6. Which of the following statements about the main logo is TRUE
A. It’s simply based on modern art.
B. It shows the “Dragon” character in ancient script.
C. It combines two “Si” characters in a mirror-like way.
C
With the development of technology, education is changing. The classroom of the future will surely not be the same as the classroom of today. So what will the future classroom be like Let’s try to find it out.
To start with, facing the blackboard will be a thing of the past. Students will take classes by looking at their touch-screen (触摸屏的) desks. And doing homework, taking down notes, and taking tests will be just a click away (点击鼠标即可). The walls of the classroom will also be filled with real-time screens for students and teachers to show any information they want.
In the coming years, another technology called metaverse (元宇宙) will make learning more exciting. Metaverse is a 3D virtual (虚拟的) world where people can meet, play, and work with others through digital avatars (数字化身). In the metaverse, people can do things like going to the mall, attending a concert or buying virtual clothing. The only difference is that they’ll be doing all these in a virtual environment. Teachers and students can get into a virtual classroom, while in real life, they may be sitting on the sofa at home. The experience will be like being in an actual classroom. Students can also “visit” historical sites, see the real geography of the planet, take tours through international universities or research labs, and much more.
Besides, the classroom of the future holds several learning styles for students. They will be given the freedom to learn things in the way they want. This includes learning through video lectures. Everyone moves at their own pace (节奏), with teachers guiding them along the way. This practice will help students learn faster and have better results.
7. What might happen according to the second paragraph
A. Students won’t need to take tests.
B Students won’t need to do their homework.
C. There will be no blackboard in the classroom.
8. What is the metaverse
A. A new kind of class. B. A robot teacher. C. A virtual world.
9. What can’t people do in the metaverse according to the passage
A. Enjoy the smell of beautiful flowers.
B. Attend a famous singer’s concert.
C. Take classes in world-famous universities.
10. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. How the metaverse will change our life.
B. How the classroom will change in the future.
C. How virtual classrooms will become popular.

You may know about “junk food” like French fries, hamburgers and so on. But do you know about “junk sleep”
A British survey shows that there are many electronic products (电子产品) in kids’ bedrooms. They are having a really bad influence on kids’ sleep.
The survey was done among 1,000 British kids from 12 to 16. It was found that 50% of them got just 4 to 7 hours’ sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours.
Almost 25% of the kids said they often fell asleep while they were watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products.
“This is very worrying,” said Dr. Chris, a British professor (教授). “We call it junk sleep. It means you don’t get enough sleep and the quality of the sleep is low, too.” The survey found that quite a few of the kids felt tired each day because of the junk sleep, especially girls between 13 and 16. Nearly all the kids have a phone, music player or TV in their bedrooms. And lots of them have all the three.
Dr. Chris suggested that parents should help their children keep away from electronic products, and that teenagers (青少年) should spend less time on electronic products.

I suggest you make a must-do list. Don’t do other things unless you have finish your job. This helps in balancing study and leisure activities efficiently. Besides, wake up earlier in the morning. You’ll find you have more time to do the things you want.
By making better use of time you can finish doing your things on time. It also allows you to better enjoy your free time.
Yours,
Li Hua
