2 . The southern New Zealand town of Kaitangata appears the chief example of the countryside landscapes the island is known for; it’s lush (苍翠的), hilly, green, and peaceful. Only about 800 people live there, and it’s a mere eight minutes from the coastline.
For those who prefer the rural, slow lifestyle and community feel in their living environment, it’s basically perfect. And here’s the best part：New Zealand desperately wants you to move there. Seriously.
The small town is heavily involved in necessary industries relating to dairy (乳制品) processing and freezing works, which more than fill the area’s economic needs. In this very unique case, that presents a real problem: there are around 1,000 vacant jobs and too much affordable housing for the residents to fill.
“We have got youth unemployment down to two,” Mayor Bryan Cadogan says, “Not 2 percent — just two unemployed young people.”
So in response to this distinctive crisis, Cadogan and the town’s bank, lawyers, and community services are launching a recruitment (征募) campaign to try and attract candidates to the area with housing and land packages costing only 230,000 NZ dollars, or almost 165,000 US dollars.
According to the local residents, “Kai”, as citizens call it, is warm and mainly concerned with the community.
“This is an oldfashioned community, we don’t lock our houses, we let kids run free,” a local dairy farmer and thirdgeneration native named Evan Dick told The Guardian.
“We have jobs, we have houses, but we don’t have people. We want to make this town vibrant again, and we are waiting with open arms.”

7 . For primary and middle school students, being able to cook will become a must in the near future. They will also need to learn how to plant vegetables, raise poultry and maintain home machines according to the new requirements.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) recently released (发布) a new curriculum standard for labor education (劳动教育). Starting from the coming autumn term, students in primary and middle schools will take courses on labor skills at least once a week.
According to the new standards, there are three types of labor tasks. The first refers to everyday housework, including cleaning, cooking and using and maintaining home machines. Next is productive labor, including agriculture, making traditional handcrafts, and using new technologies such as 3D printing and laser cutting. The third type is service work, including volunteer work.
The new curriculum also calls for a labor week every school year, which will be a week of after-school activities aimed at labor education.
Because of a lot of studying pressure, schools have placed more focus on the school lessons, and many schools have seen housework as a waste of time. But according to the MOE, labor education must be focused on to help students cultivate social values and develop an interest in labor.
Following the release of the curriculum standard, Internet users are heatedly discussing the changes on social media. Many welcome such labor courses and say it is necessary to teach young students basic life skills. Some are happy to learn such skills during their own school days.

| C．Students should develop an interest in listening. | D．Labor education will be focused on in the near future. |
8 . One evening in December 2021, I stood on the stage and received a special award given to our team for our performance in the Model United Nations (MUN) (模拟联合国) Conference. The conference allows students to role-play as UN delegates (代表) to understand how the UN works and how the international relations develop.
Behind the honor of the award was sweat on our own. When I was told that we had to add some details to our report presentation (展示), I was quite surprised and nervous, because it would make our presentation much more difficult. Fortunately, we finished our presentation thanks to everyone’s efforts.
However, when the time of the conference came, something unknown happened. The placement of the tables and chairs upset us a lot. What was worse, the newest PPT with the background music was deleted on the computer. What was shown was only the original (原来的) PPT. We could only give our speeches based on our previous knowledge, with no PPT prompts to guide us.
In the end, we did very well. From the first introduction to the final speech, every part was excellent. During the public review period, many judges walked over to give us praises.
As one of our players said, the MUNers are confident and always moving forward. It was this honor that strengthened my determination to carry our MUN club forward to a bright future.

9 . With sunshine and beaches, Hainan is a good choice for travelers. Its Tropical Rainforest National Park is a paradise for animals and plants. If you go there, what can you enjoy?
Animals
The park is home to 540 kinds of animals. Among them are Hainan gibbons (长臂猿), one of the world’s most endangered species. Hainan gibbons look like monkeys, but they have no tails. They usually eat fruits and leaves from more than 130 kinds of plants, mostly in treetops 15 meters above the ground.
Plants
The park is a “live museum” of plants. More than 3,600 kinds of wild plants grow there. It is also home to 133 kinds of national key protected plants. Cycas hainanensis is an example. It has big, feather-like leaves. It grows slowly, but can live up to 200 years. This ancient species probably was around when dinosaurs lived on earth.
Culture
The Li and Miao ethnic (民族的) groups have lived in the park for generations, mainly in the central Wuzhishan area. From their houses to their clothes, you can taste their culture. Li and Miao people live in houses that look like upside-down boats. To keep away animals like snakes and ants, they build their houses above the ground.

There once was a speedy Rabbit who bragged (自夸) about how fast he could run. Tired of hearing him boast, the Tortoise (乌龟) challenged him to a race. All the animals in the forest gathered to watch.
The Rabbit ran down the road for a while and then paused to rest. He looked back at the Tortoise and cried out, “How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?” The Rabbit stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, “There is plenty of time to relax.” The Tortoise walked and walked, never ever stopping until he came to the finish line.
The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise that they woke up the Rabbit. The Rabbit stretched and yawned and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise was already over the line and won the race.
The Rabbit was bitter about losing the race. So he decided to challenge the Tortoise again. To be fair, the highly respected Mr. Buffalo (水牛) was invited to judge the race this time. The competitors should run alone the track to the river, swim across the river and climb to the top of the mountain to reach the finish line. The fact was that the Rabbit couldn’t swim and the Tortoise would slide (滑) down when climbing the mountains.
