【推荐1】Have you heard of the Andler Hillclimb? It is a yearly dirt bike competition that has dirt bikers from around Europe. All the dirt bikers try to reach the top of a dangerous hillside course in Belgium. It’s been held every year for the last twenty years, but so far, no one has been able to reach the top.
The so-called “impossible climb” starts out as rough gravel(碎石) and then switches over to a rough uneven cliff(悬崖) face designed to throw riders off and roll them and their bikes back down to the base of the hill. The angle of the course(赛道) is not the problem, according to most riders, but the sudden change of ride surface makes keeping control of the bike and reaching the top so hard. Some fly off their bike early during the climb. While others get painfully close to the finish line, yet in the end they all succumb to the power of gravity(重力) before reaching their goal.
In spite of gathering the most talented dirt bikers in Europe at the start line every year, the Andler Hillclimb has so far remained unclimbable. The closest one to success was a Suzuki bike rider who once reportedly crossed the finish line with the front wheel before rolling back down the slope(斜坡) like the rest of the competitors. Sadly, his achievement didn’t count as a successful climb, as the whole bike and its rider must make it to the top of the hill.
With so many riders having failed to make it to the top over the last 20 years, why are people still trying every year? Why not just call the climb impossible and stop it? Well, maybe it has something to do with the satisfaction of winning? Can you imagine what it would be like when the very first dirt biker reaches the top of this famous hill?
1. What makes it difficult for bikers to reach the top of the Andler Hillclimb?| A．The bikers’ poor riding skills. | B．The steep angle of the slope. |

【推荐2】Two people sit down to play Go (围棋). One of the players is an old man. He is now 89 years old. He has spent all of his life playing this game. The other person is a young woman. She has been playing Go for only three years. Before this, the woman was an expert (专家) at playing computer games. Now she plays Go the same way she played computer games—by becoming a machine herself.
They will play many games, until they know who the winner is. The woman shows no feelings but thinking about all the possible (可能的) ways of placing her next stone (棋子). The old man, on the other hand, looks at the movements (移动) of her hands and of her face. This has always helped him to win.
He wins the first three games. She wins the next game, and the man is surprised. He has never lost to a woman. The old man worries about the way the young woman is playing the game. He can’t read her face, he does not understand her way of playing.
“The way I think about the game”, says the woman, “is that it is steps for getting what I want.” Again, the old man is surprised. For him, the game is a way of life itself, and not a model of life. “There is no more beauty any longer. Everything is science and rules. Everything is about winning. Nothing is about playing,” he says.
They cannot agree with each other, but it is not necessary. “Change is a necessary (必要的) part of life”, thinks the man. “Playing is as important as winning”, thinks the woman.
They start to play their final game.

【推荐1】Sakumaseika, a Japanese company that has produced a beloved candy, says it will be going out of business in January. The company recently announced it would be forced to end operations because of rising production costs, but drops in sales.
The company’s main and most popular product is called “Sakuma’s Drops”. The candy which comes in eight different fruit flavors has been beloved in Japan for generations. Sakuma’s Drops are famous in Japan and even appeared in a successful film.
“We always had a can at home when I was in grade school,” said Naoe Watanabe, a 53-year-old sweets-shop owner. He remembered how he used to use a 10-yen coin to lift open the can. Sakuma’s Drops have been sold in candy shops for 114 years. “It feels like a sign of the times,” Watanabe said. “There are so many choices now, compared to when I was a kid, but I still like the can.”
Sakumaseika said it had not raised the price of the product in years. The company has been unwilling to raise prices even though its material and production costs have been increasing. It fears that passing along those costs may turn off many buyers.
Hiroshi Matsuzawa is a store owner on a popular Tokyo shopping street. “Sakuma’s Drops are mostly popular with older people, a lot of children are now uninterested in the candy”, said Matsuzawa, “because they have so many other products to choose from.”
Teruyo Ishiguro runs a small food store that traditionally is visited by many children walking home from school. She said she had stopped carrying Sakuma’s Drops last year because most buyers were in their 50s or older. “It’s very sad to see something disappear that’s been around for so long,” said Ishiguro, who had been selling the candy for more than 60 years.

| A．Because most buyers in their 50s or older have seen that successful film. | B．Because most buyers in their 50s or older have visited the company of Sakumaseika. |
| C．Because the candy can help older people look back upon their childhood. | D．Because the candy can help older people share sweet memories with their grandchildren. |
| A．The companies like Sakumaseika. | B．The store owners like Matsuzawa. |
| C．Older people. | D．Young children. |

【推荐2】Chinese astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu gave a science lecture (讲座) from China’s space station to students on earth on December 9th, 2021. The class began at 3:40 p.m., with a total of 1,420 students attending the lecture from five classrooms across China. The primary classroom is in China Science and Technology Museum. Classrooms have also been set up in Nanning, Wenchang, Hong Kong and Macao. Tens of millions of students across China watched the hour-long televised event.
Shenzhou-13 members gave the students a tour of the living and working areas of the space station. They showed the students how to increase their strength with their exercise equipment (设备), introduced a specially designed spacesuit and performed experiments. Ye, who is on his first spaceflight, showed how he moved in the weightless environment. They also answered questions from students during the lecture.
It was the first lecture of the Tiangong Class. More lectures will be held and presented by Chinese astronauts. Such activities are held to spread knowledge and encourage a love for science among young people.
Shi Yi, a physics teacher in Beijing, said the space lecture was an eye-opening experience that would ignite (点燃) students’ interest in science.
Wang Yihan, a fifth-grade student, said, “The experiments really surprised me. I have great interest in spaceflight and would like to take part in our country’s space program in the future.”
Vincent Wong, headmaster of Hong Kong’s Pui Kiu College, said the event gave Hong Kong students an opportunity to communicate with the astronauts. “It also helped to strengthen their national identity (认同) as they saw the rapid development of our country’s space technology,” he said.

【推荐3】Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey.
