It was a busy Saturday as usual, for “Six days shall you work and finish all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, my father and Mr. Patrick were preparing firewood. Inside their own houses, my mother and Mrs. Patrick were busy with spring cleaning.
Somehow a few boys ran to the field with their kites, catching everyone’s attention nearby. My mother looked at the messy room. Again she looked out of the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s watch the boys fly kites.” On the way, we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing in shame as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.
We played with the boys and watched the kites fly higher and higher. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dance in the wind, and finally brought it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again. Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. At that moment we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty, and children forgot their everyday fights.
The strange thing was that we didn’t mention that day afterward. So I locked the memory up in my heart.
Years went on. Then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen, while my daughter was crying “go park, see duck”. “No.” I said. “I have lots of things to do, and when I’m through I’ll be tired”.
My mom, who was visiting us, offered “It’s a warm day with breeze. Do you remember the day we flew kites ” I stopped my work with a rush of memories. Then I told my little girl, “Let’s go! It’s too good a day to miss.”
Another decade passed. I visited the youngest Patrick boy who was badly ill. A smile slipped out from his pale lips, “Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t have the influence on you as it did on me.” “Remember what ” “The day we flew kites.”

Liu Jichen, a student from Tsinghua University, has developed a WeChat (微信) mini-program called “Clear Plate”. After a meal, users can open the mini-program and take a picture of their empty plates. Once the picture is recognized by the AI (人工智能), users can collect points and use them to buy gifts or buy charity (慈善) meals and then send them to children in poor rural areas.
In November 2020, Liu and his team, together with other organizations, organized the “Clear Your Plate” program for the third year. It has swept over 1,017 universities across the country.
The idea to develop such a mini-program came from Liu’s experience in a canteen. In 2017, he found that a restaurant would give diners who finished off their food a card and offer small gifts after a certain number of cards had been collected.
“Technological innovation (科技创新) is a good way to reduce food waste,” Liu thought. He organized a team of 20 members to work on the project at the end of 2017. To solve the AI’s problem of identifying (识别) photos of empty plates, the team spent half a year collecting over 100,000 samples (样本) in canteens and restaurants. In 2018, the mini-program was officially put into use on Oct. 16th, World Food Day.
“There were so many unknowns in research and development. For our team members, the biggest challenge was whether we were confident enough to complete it,” Liu said. They not only achieved their goal, but now, the mini-program has more than 5 million users, according to Liu. “We hope our efforts can start a new lifestyle among the young by encouraging them to cherish (珍惜) their food and develop the habit of saving food,” Liu added.
33．What can we know about the “Clear Your Plate” mini-program
A．It is an exchange of food for rewards.
B．Its 6 million users are mostly students.
C．It helped reduce food waste by chatting with friends.
D．Its purpose is to put an end to waste and encourage saving food.
34．What’s the correct time order of the following events
①The mini-program was officially put into use.
②The mini-program has more than 5 million users.
③Liu found that a canteen would give diners a card.
④Liu organized a team to work on the program “Clear Your Plate”.
A．①③④② B．③④①② C．③②④① D．②③④①
35．Liu and his team faced the challenges except that _________.
A．they felt uncertain if they could complete the project
B．they had difficulty gathering enough samples
C．they found it difficult to raise money for the program
D．they don’t have enough professional technical support

The year 2024 celebrates the Year of the Dragon. Among the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac (生肖), the dragon is the only one that is not real. Though it looks scary, Chinese people respect it and even see themselves as the descendants (后代) of the dragon.
In Chinese culture, the dragon stands as a symbol of power, strength, and good fortune. Unlike the fierce and bad dragons of Western mythologies, Chinese dragons are kind beings that bring prosperity and order. They are often linked with water, controlling the rainfall and rivers, and thus ensuring a good harvest.
Every twelve years, we celebrate the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese calendar. The dragon year is particularly special because people born under this sign are thought to be gifted with honor, luck, and success.
But how did the dragon become one of the twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac According to legend, the Jade Emperor announced that the order of the zodiac animals would be decided by the order in which they arrived at his party. The dragon, despite its ability to fly, didn’t come first because it stopped to make rain for farmers and help other creatures on its way. Therefore, it arrived fifth.
During the Dragon Year, festivities abound, with dragon dances and parades being a common sight. Dragon boat races are also a popular event, especially during the Dragon Boat Festival. These traditions are not just spectacular to watch, but also a way to honor the dragon’s spirit and its significant role in Chinese culture.
In summary, the dragon is not just another animal in the Chinese zodiac; it’s a powerful symbol deeply rooted in Chinese history and folklore (民俗). The Year of the Dragon is a time of celebration and respected as a lucky year, full of potential and hope for all.

You probably have noticed it: Chongqing’s population has been aging fast. According to China’s latest national census (人口普查), up to 23.4 percent of the city’s residents (居民) are aged over 60. This number is expected to grow even further in the coming years.
Chongqing is not alone. Many other cities around the world have been experiencing this same problem for some time now. Some people are worried about this. The elderly, they say, do very little for the nation’s economy (经济). The government, however, has to give them lots of retirement benefits (退休福利). But a recent survey shows that many people agree there are some positives to having an aging population.
With an aging population, younger people will have more chances to meet seniors in their daily lives. With age comes wisdom. Through usual communication, the elderly can bring a wealth of a useful life lessons to younger people. The young, at the same time, are given chances to see things from a completely different perspective (视角).
Besides, in many cultures, it’s normal for elderly parents to live with their children under the same roof. Their children may have already reached adulthood, but these gray-haired men and women continue to play an important role in their development. In some families, the elderly are taking care of their grandchildren. It’s reported that half of all the children in China’s cities live with their grandparents and are raised under their guidance. Thanks to this free childcare, working parents can contribute more to the economy.
An aging population is often considered to be a headache. But perhaps it can be argued that there are also some benefits to it.
41．The problem in paragraph 1 is that ________.
A．the population is larger and larger in China B．the population of older people increases

C．the elderly don’t share the family responsibilities D．the elderly can’t be taken good care of

C． D．

A．What has caused an aging population B．How can we solve the aging problem

Homework is a big part of study. As students in Junior Three, you have much more homework every day 55 ever before. So it is important for you to improve the efficiency (效率) of doing homework. There are several tips which can help you finish your homework more 56 .

Everyday heroes are normal people who are working to make the world a better place. 64 them is Robert Lee.
Lee grew up in New York City. Because his family was not rich, he learned the importance of not 65 food from a young age. When in college, he was part of a student group that gave out leftover (剩余的) food to homeless people. This experience made him realize how 66 the problem of food waste actually was.
After he left university, Lee gave up a well-paid job and 67 his own business called Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RIC). RLC runs simply. Just using an app developed by Lee’s team, restaurants report how much leftover food they have each day. Then volunteers are sent to get 68 . They never drive or use other public transportation as the distance is usually short. 69 they can just do their deliveries (递送) by walking from the restaurants to the shelters. Lee believes it is a quick way of delivery.
So far, Lee and his team have successfully saved over 150,000 kilograms of food, serving almost 300,000 meals to people who need them. Lee has shown that a small action can make a big difference to our life than we imagine. When Lee is asked what his next plan is, he replies there’s still a long way to go. This is just the 70 . With more restaurants, who knows how much more we can do.
