Hangzhou, together with five other cities in Zhejiang, hosted the 19th Asian Games from Sept. 23 to Oct. 8. The Games was very “smart” with the use of many exciting technologies. Let’s have a look!
What if there was an accident during the game and the players needed first aid? Drones (无人机) could be used to send things over. Using a drone saves about 60 percent of the time. Medicine, blood and other things needed for first aid can be sent to people quickly.
Every dish at the Asian Games should be safe and healthy. In the kitchen of the athletes’ village in Hangzhou, there was a special system (系统) that could tell people’s faces. If a “stranger” went into the kitchen, an alarm would go off to let people know. The managers of the kitchen would also get messages on their phones. There is also a system to keep an eye on the temperature of the fridge.
Say that you were in Hangzhou and would watch one of the games. It would be sad if you couldn’t find your way. AR (增强现实技术) was here to help you. There is a mini program called the Hangzhou Asian Games AR service. You could turn on your phone’s camera and it would see where you were and then showed you the way.

【推荐2】Garbage sorting (分类) is a big topic worldwide. In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it.
Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a “green account(账户)” service for its residents (居民). Account holders get points by correctly sorting their garbage. Through the Alipay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products. The city is asking all of its residents to sort their garbage into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.
Wet waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want but that pigs can eat, ”Guangzhou Daily explained. Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.
Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs(荧光灯泡). Finally, any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the “dry waste” bin.
Many other Chinese cities are also using this method to sort their garbage. For example, Shenzhen has been sorting its garbage into the same four groups since 2012. Students there also receive waste-sorting guidebooks that they must study.
China is improving its waste-sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go. But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your trash properly and protect the environment.
If you don’t sort your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill(垃圾填埋场) and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater. Other pieces of garbage, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.
1. How does Shanghai encourage people to sort their garbage?A.Give residents a chance of exchanging other waste products with each other. |
B.Pay people who sort city trash and protect the environment correctly. |
C.Create a “green account” service for its residents with the help of Alipay. |
D.Ask residents to actively study waste-sorting guidebooks. |
A.Metal. | B.Glass. | C.Bulbs. | D.Leftover food. |
A.Landfills can be used for moving away garbage completely. |

C.Students in big cities must have waste-sorting lessons in schools. |
D.Lots of work is needed to be done in Chinese garbage sorting. |

【推荐3】Weeks before Tomb-Sweeping Day (清明节) on April 4 this year, hundreds of qingtuan were sold each day. The snack was still a must-have for many people.
In the southern part of China, eating qingtuan at the beginning of spring is a kind of tradition. Chinese people started to eat it more than 2, 000 years ago. It is made of sticky rice (糯米) and red bean paste (红豆沙), and is famous for its softness, freshness and sweetness. The secret behind its mouth-watering taste is one of its materials—mugwort leaves (艾蒿叶). The plant is mainly found in the Yangtze River Delta (长江三角洲) where it has perfect conditions to grow.
People in this area usually put qingtuan on the tombs (墓) of their dead family members to cherish the past memory. Making qingtuan is also a chance for family members to get together at home. It really takes time and effort to make the snack.
Now, qingtuan has already spread its special taste to the northern part of China. Li Yuan, a 30-year-old engineer who grew up in Zhejiang Province, brought qingtuan back to Beijing where he works. “It tastes different in and out of my hometown,” he said. “There’s no place like home.”
Qingtuan has many different tastes inside it, such as apples and bean milk, to meet customers’ tastes. The difference of the taste shows that it’s getting more and more popular across the whole country.
Even though there is warm weather and green leaves in spring, the season wouldn’t be complete without a taste of qingtuan.
1. Tomb-Sweeping Day is in ________.A.spring | B.summer | C.autumn | D.winter |

【推荐1】The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics were more than a sporting event. They were also a show for science and technology. They are helping athletes (运动员) become “faster, higher, stronger” and offering you a great game-watching experience with the support of 5G. Let’s look at some technologies behind the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The fastest ice
The National Speed Skating Oval is said to have “the fastest ice”, as 12 new Olympic records and one world record were set there. The secret is new ice-making technology. Liquid carbon dioxide (液体二氧化碳) is put under the ice to keep temperature changes on the ice surface in half a degree. That keeps the ice a level surface and it is easier to skate on.
“Seeing” the wind
In events like freestyle skiing and ski jumping, the direction and speed of the wind can have great influence on an athlete’s performance. A Chinese research team developed a system to measure wind. The system uses AI technology. It allows athletes and coaches to “see” wind with real-time data (数据) on their Ipads, and decide when and where to jump.
High-speed cameras
During the speed skating race, athletes can reach speeds of up to 18 meters per second. To catch every exciting moment of the competition, Lie Bao has been used for the event.
Lie Bao, is a 4K high-definition (高清) camera system developed by China Media Group (CMG). It can record speeds of up to 25 meters per second. It closely follows the athletes’ movements and catches different scenes during speed skating, according to Shanghai Plus.
