4 . My name is Caroline and I work as a doctor in a children’s hospital. I must share a heart-warming experience I enjoyed last week.
Last Friday there was a big party at the hospital. Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but of course some of us had to stay to look after the children. I felt a little sad because I was not free to go to the party. I enjoyed dancing very much. While my friends were getting ready to go to the party, I felt very sorry for myself.
At ten o’clock, I went to see each child one after another and said good night to them. Then I came to a little boy called Jimmy. Jimmy was only 10 years old, but he already talked like an adult. Poor Jimmy was badly ill. In fact, he was getting weaker day by day. However, he was always thinking about others. We all liked the little boy very much.
When I came up to his bed, I noticed a piece of cake on the table beside his bed. When I was thinking why the cake was there, he said, “I’m very sorry that you have to miss the dance because of us. But we are going to have a party for you. Have you seen the cake? I saved it from my supper today, so It’s quite fresh.” I thanked him. “I’d dance with you myself if I was able to get up,” he added. His words warmed my heart.
Suddenly the hospital party seemed very far away and not at all important to me.

8 . How do we make traditional Chinese culture alive and popular again among young people? Livestreaming (直播) has made it. It is not only fun, but has also provided a new stage for traditional culture artists.
On video websites and apps such as Douyin and Bilili, many traditional artists are trying livestreaming for the first time. Some of them sing Peking Opera, some show their hand-made art pieces, while others perform classical music.
Li, 59 years old, is a laosheng(old male role) Peking Opera performer who started livestreaming this year. Unlike performing on a formal (正式的) stage, Li uses everyday places as his stage, including his backyard, study room, and even a sofa. Besides singing, Li also teaches viewers about Peking Opera in a funny way. People can ask him questions and get answers directly. “Livestreaming has brought this great art down to earth,” one viewer said. “It allows young people to know this traditional art and learn more about it in an easier way.”
Other kinds of artists also see livestreaming as a new opportunity. On March 26, the third China Huafu Day, Bilibili livestreamed a fashion show. Performers showed beautiful clothes in traditional Chinese styles , including those from Wei, Tang and Ming dynasties. During the show, viewers enjoyed the clothes and watched how performers used ancient styles of make-up. For example, one blogger taught people how to draw the guiye eyebrow (桂叶眉), which was a typical make-up style during Tang Dynasty.
There is no doubt that livestreaming has created a new channel through which traditional culture can be kept alive.
1. We can guess from Paragraph 3 that Li, as a teacher, is ________.A.Strict | B.lazy | C.humorous | D.scary |
A.help make Douyin and Bilibili more popular |
B.teach where and how to perform Peking Opera |
C.encourage young people to perform art at home |
D.show traditional artists are using livestreaming |
A.Wei | B.Tang | C.Ming | D.Qing |
A.a TV show to introduce traditional clothes from different dynasties |
B.a way to bring traditional culture back to life by sharing online videos |
C.a program to give students many traditional Chinese cultural lessons |
D.a stage to give performers a chance to take photos of their everyday life |
9 . You may have wondered why there are fish tanks (鱼缸) at many doctor’s and dentist’s offices. Actually these medical professionals are trying to keep their working areas less stressful (有压力的) with the help of fish tanks. Because of the soft bubbling (冒泡声) from the fish tanks, their patients are expected to feel less nervous or worried when staying there.
The sound of running water can make people feel relaxed. For this reason, places where water keeps running are often considered good choices for people to have deep thoughts and stay relaxed in mind. Even a small tabletop fountain (喷泉) can make a workspace more relaxing. Unlike loud noises, repeated natural sounds remind that everything is OK. “These slow but soft sounds are just the ones that bring us no harm,” said Orfeu Buxton, a professor at Pennsylvania State University. “It seems like they are saying, ‘Don’t worry; don’t worry; don’t worry.’”
Besides bringing a sense of peace to your indoor space, a fountain can also prevent noises from coming inside. I recently had a small indoor fountain for my workspace. I enjoy the fountain even when I’m not working at home.
If you want to have an indoor fountain too, there are plenty of wonderful ones on sale, which may cost you a lot. You can try making one yourself, using some inexpensive materials, like I did. And you will always keep it around — 1,000 doctor’s offices can’t be wrong about the relaxing effects of running water.
