According to a survey, Chinese people’s reading habits haven’t changed over the past several years. The survey says only about 59 percent of the people in China read paper books. It also says a large number of people don’t read. It is partly because there aren’t enough public libraries. China has less than 3,300 public libraries, compared with more than 160,000 in the United States.
In order to encourage the public to read more, Shenzhen government has done a lot. In November every year, Shenzhen welcomes its Reading Month. More than 1,400 reading activities will be held for this month, including book sales, music performances, film screenings, and online and offline lectures by experts. In 2012, Shenzhen created the first government-led “reading promoter (阅读推广人)” training program in China. People doing different jobs become reading promoters to encourage more people to read, especially the teenagers. Shenzhen Reading Month has been an activity held every November since 2000. Many famous writers were invited to the Reading Month. Yu Guangzhong was invited in 2007, Bai Yansong in 2015, and Deng Yiguang in 2022. Reading has become an important cultural and spiritual symbol of Shenzhen. On October 21, 2013, Shenzhen was named “Global Reading Model City”. Shenzhen is the only city in the world to receive this name. Being a young city of immigrants, Shenzhen is developing a culture for reading, which shows the spirit of humanity. |

World Reading Day was set up by UNESCO in 1995. Its purpose is to encourage people, especially teenagers, to discover the pleasure of reading. It is also the day to honor great writers, like William Shakespeare, who was born or died on that day.
Many countries celebrate World Reading Day. Take the UK as an example. On that day, millions of school children can buy books at a lower price than usual in any bookstore.

A Reading Activity in Our School
By Li Ming
It is said that reading makes a full man. These days we are holding a meaningful activity called “Love Reading, Enjoy Reading” in our school.
The Great Wall of China is called the “Ten Thousand Li Great Wall” in Chinese. In fact, it’s over 21,000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.
The Great Wall has a history of over 2,000 years. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were built to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. Later, the Qin dynasty united the different parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up.
The Great Wall is wide enough on the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to watch enemies. They lit fires on the towers as a warning when the enemy came.
It was very difficult to build such a wall in ancient times without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.
Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. There’s a famous Chinese saying—He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man.

1. How long is the Great Wall of China?
2. When did people start to build the Great Wall?

Outer universe space is full of mysteries (神秘) and the exploring (探索) steps has never been stopped since our ancestors began thousands of years ago. After the founding of new China, exploring the universe, developing the space industry (产业) and building a strong country with strong space power have always been our Chinese dreams.
On April 24, 1970, China successfully set off its first satellite, Dongfanghong-1. On October 15, 2003, Shenzhou V carried China’s first man into space, whose name is Yang Liwei. That made China become the third country after the Soviet Union and the U. S. to send an astronaut into space. On October 17 that year, astronauts in Shenzhou XI successfully finished the 33-day-manned task, which was the longest stay in space of China.
In 2019, Chang’e 4 successfully landed on the far side of the moon. That made it possible for us to learn more about the moon. Over the past 70 years, China has made great achievement in human space exploration. While exploring the mysteries of the universe space, technology has also improved our daily life. With these developments, China is growing stronger and people live a better life.
1. How many Chinese dreams after the founding of new China are mentioned in Paragraph 1?2. When did China successfully set off its first satellite?
3. Which countries have sent men into space before China?

Dear friends,
For the recent years, technology in China has made such great progress that
Labor (劳动) education has been made a part of compulsory (义务的) education. Students will have at least one course every week on basic household (家庭的) skills such as cleaning and cooking. Should cooking be taught at schools? How can labor education continue after school? The topic catches wide social attention and causes heated public discussions.
We have little time to develop our interests because we have to spend most of the time studying. A household skill class can give us chances to experience more aspects of life and help us discover different interests. I hope we could be given the choices to take whatever courses we like. |
Schools should have cooking classes. Children will be taught about their food and how to cook properly. Many parents don’t have the professional knowledge and have no time to do this. A household class would provide the knowledge and training that parents are unable to give their children. |
By learning basic skills like cooking and cleaning, children can learn how to take care of themselves and live independently. Parents won’t always help their children with every problem they’ll meet in their life. They need to learn new things, solve problems and grow from their experiences. It is necessary for children to know how to master these important lifesaving skills as early as possible. |
I learned some basic cooking skills from my mother. But most of them were learned after I graduated from university, from books and online short videos. Household skills like cooking are very useful in our daily life. I hope these cooking classes will really make the students realize that labor is important and valuable. |

4. Why should children learn basic skills according to Mr. Wang?

Grow Up in Labor
Labor plays an important role in life.
Hello everyone, my name is Jessica Meir. I am an astronaut. I work on the International Space Station (ISS). Today, I will tell you something about what life is like on the ISS.
The ISS has over 425 m3 of living space. I work here with astronauts from the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and several other European countries.
When we are on the ISS, we have to follow a daily schedule. It tells us when to get up, eat, exercise, work, relax and go to sleep. We spend about two hours each day exercising. Without exercise, we will lose some muscle(肌肉) because of the microgravity (微重力) environment in space.
We eat food specially made for space astronauts. Some foods, such as cakes, can be eaten in space just the way they are eaten on the Earth. But some other foods are real challenges. For example, when you’re in space, you can’t shake salt onto food, because the salt will fly away. As a result, we have to use special liquid (液体) salt.
When we are not busy working on the ISS, we can relax and have fun in different ways. Like most of you, we love to listen to music, read books, play cards, watch movies and talk with our family members.
As you can see, the microgravity environment in space brings many challenges that we don’t have on the Earth. Would you like to live for some time on the ISS?
1. Is Jessica an astronaut?2. Where are the astronauts on the ISS from?
3. Why do astronauts have to exercise on the ISS?
4. How many ways can the astronauts relax?
5. What’s the main idea of the passage?

Do you know the documentary（纪录片）Biodiversity on Earth-Zhuonai Lake? It is very popular, and now people can watch it online.
The documentary is 57 minutes long. It is made by four scientists from Yunnan University and the Kunming Institute of Zoology named Luo Jie, Zhang Zhigang, Wu Jun and Zhang Chenghao. They started working on it in early 2020 and spent 18 months shooting the beautiful scenes and animals activities. After that, they spent another 6 months making the documentary.
Zhuonai Lake is in Qinghai Province. Few people travel to the no-man’s land of the lake, so the area has become a shelter（庇护所）for wildlife（野生动物）. It is also an important place for scientific research.
The altitude（海拔）of Zhuonai Lake reaches almost 5,000 meters. So the scientists faced a lot of challenges. Sometimes they had to work the temperatures of -30℃ and below. And they used pressure cookers to make meals.
“Though it is exciting to meet wild animals, we must be careful not to change the animals’ normal life in the area,” Luo Jie said. “Most people may think wolves（狼）are dangerous, but in fact they are scared of humans.”
The documentary tells us many unknown stories about wild animals. The scientists hope more people can do something to protect wild animals.
1. How long is the documentary?2. When did the scientists start working on the documentary?
3. Why is the area of Zhuonai Lake a shelter for wild animals?
4. How did the scientists make meals in the area?
5. What does Luo Jie think about wolves?

My favorite story
【推荐2】Two weeks later, the children made another note. They held it up as The Green Dragon rushed past. The notice said, “MOTHER IS NEARLY WELLAGAIN. THANK YOU.”
The old gentleman saw the notice. He smiled and waved to the children.
When they told Mother about the old gentleman, she was very angry with them. “It was wrong to ask a stranger for help,” she said. Then, she stopped being angry and began to cry. The children thought this was worse.
“I’m sorry I was angry with you, she said”. “I know you don’t really understand. We’re poor, but we have enough money for food. You must never ever again ask anyone to give you things.”
The next day was Roberta’s birthday. Mother told her to go away and stay away until teatime.
She felt very lonely in the garden, so she walked out of it and down the lane to the canal. While Roberta was standing on the bridge looking down at the barges(驳船), the doctor came up in his small horse and cart. “Hello, head nurse,” he said. “Do you want a ride home?” Roberta got into the cart and sat next to the doctor.
Roberta let the doctor go on to his house and she stayed in the garden until teatime. When she went inside, there were twelve candles on the table, flowers, and some little parcels. As she walked into the room, Mother, Phyllis, and Peter sang a song to her.
Mother wrote the words for a birthday song every year.
Our darling Robert
No sorrow shall hurt her
If we can prevent it
Her whole life long.
Her birthday's our party day
We'll make it our great day
And give her our presents
And sing her our song
At the end of the song, Mother said, “Three cheers for Roberta.” And she, Phyllis, and Peter shouted, “Hip! Hip! Hooray!”

It made more people come to Hay and buy second-hand books. By the 1980s, there were one million books on sale in the town’s over 30 bookshops. Then in 1988 a literature festival began in the town. Writers came to talk about their new books. Some famous people including scientists and even the President of the US came to the festival too! Now there are book towns in Europe, Australia, Canada and even Malaysia. Not bad for something that started in a small town of 1,300 people. |
