5 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

The Hangzhou Asian Games served as not just a platform for Asian athletes    1    (compete) in sports, but also a crucial stage to present the cultural     2    (diverse) of Asian nations.

“The Hangzhou Asian Games provided    3    unique opportunity for people from 45 countries and regions to come together.” Yasuhiro Inomata said.

“This holds significant importance in promoting intercultural exchanges, as well as developing peace regionally and    4     (globe),”Inomata added.

“The massive scale of this year’s Asian Games not only reflects the development         5    (achievement) in sports throughout Asia, but also     6     ( symbolize) the unity of Asian people,” Raja Randhir Sing said, noting that the Hangzhou Asian Games presents a positive image of the mutual love and friendship    7     (share) by Asian people.

“     8    spectators, we felt that the message of unity and love was not just words but a feeling that reminded us that, despite our differences, we are all interconnected and    9    (harmony) like one big family,” Kharaz, a reporter from Palestine, said.

“The Asian Games are an important platform    10    diverse traditions and cultures met,” Samir al-Musawi, head of the Iraqi delegation to Hangzhou, said to Xinhua.

6 . What’ s a micro activity? I consider this question about the word “micro” whenever it appears.

    1     Quite literally, it means “extremely small”. But in this article, a micro activity will refer to something which takes up no more than five minutes of your time.

The following recommendations are micro activities you should do for your body.

Self-Massage (自我按摩)

Self-massaging should become a part of your daily musts.     2    As we get older, our muscles (肌肉) tighten. But if we self-massage, these muscles will feel cared for. According to the Mayo Clinic, massage can reduce stress and increase relaxation.

Intensive Exercise

There are many benefits of intensive exercise (高强度运动). And do you know what else it does for your body? It makes your body realize it can do so much more. In less than five minutes, the goal is to break a sweat. This can be from running or lifting weights.     3    

Let Loose

Whether it be dancing, skipping or something else, our body should do whatever it feels like doing without judgment.     4    Thus we will feel happy and relaxed.

Be Still

    5    Your body loves movement. But we must find a few moments of stillness throughout our day. By devoting ourselves to more stillness, we can find ourselves more at peace and less stressed even under hard circumstances.

A．Did you regret doing it?

B．What does it really mean?

C．Don’t give yourself too much pressure.

D．It should be as necessary as brushing your teeth or taking a shower.

E．Every activity involves some sort of movement.

F．The playful nature helps bring out the inner child and promotes creativity and joy.

G．It doesn’t matter which activity you choose, so long as you bring intensity to that workout.

7 . What is the man surprised at?

8 . The design of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic torch (火炬) was shown on July 25, marking almost a year until the opening ceremony (典礼) of the Paris Olympic Games.

The torch, measuring 70 centimeters and weighing 3.3 pounds, is made with lightweight radiant steel and is known for its champagne color, a color of French white wine.

Mathieu Lehanneur, the designer of the torch said that he drew inspiration from three Paris 2024 symbols-equality, water and   peacefulness. Equality is shown by perfect balance. Peacefulness is shown by the gentleness of the curves. The lower half features a relief pattern that copies the movement of the River Seine, along which the opening ceremony will be held.

It will be the first torch in the history of the Games to be used for both the Olympics and Paralympics. Past designs have shared similarities but are different in shape and color. This is part of the organizing committee’s plan to “build bridges between the Olympic and Paralympic Games”, Paris 2024’s president Tony Estanguet said in a statement.

Equality means putting the same ambition into organising the Paralympic Games as the Olympic Games. Following on from the medals to the mascots, the Olympic and Paralympic Games will share the same torch design.

Equality in the Paris 2024 project is also reflected in the strong promise to equality in the Olympic Games: For the first time in the history of the Games, as many women as men will take part in the competitions. Reflecting this desire for peace, the torch, with its curves and rounded lines, is filled with   gentleness. The design of the torch delivers generosity and unity.

“Such a project is a dream for a designer, because it’s a project that connects something symbolic and technical in one, for a big moment,” Lehanneur said.

B．The inspiration of the torch.

2. What is special about the torch?
