8 . The door opens and you are amazed at seeing people jumping and flying around like superheroes. Calm down, you are not in a Marvel film, just a trampoline (蹦床) park.

In recent years trampolining has become a new craze among Chinese youths. Short videos are regularly uploaded to social media showing people’s excitement about jumping back and forth on the colorful trampolines. Most videos feature teenagers.    1    .

Ms Shi, a 28-year-old from Beijing, goes to trampoline parks almost every weekend. She said “When I was a child, I loved bouncing up and down on the trampolines, though they were just small and simple ones. They made me feel free and happy.     2    .”

It’s true that today’s trampoline parks are bigger, more professional and more creative.     3    . you can obviously jump, play in the inflatables (充气垫), or shoot basketballs like an NBA superstar. Also, if you're brave enough, you can learn to walk on the wall.

“Trampolining is so much fun. It doesn't feel like exercising at all.” Ms Shi said.

    4    . According to Robert Smith, a British sports therapist, “The trampoline pad is bouncy and absorbs a large amount of the impact of your landing, so your bones and joints are protected and strengthened at the same time.”

Unlike playing soccer, basketball, tennis or any other competitive sports, the risk of injury while trampolining is relatively low.     5    . “You must do warm-up exercises before playing. And you can't lose concentration during the movements,” Peter Cheng, a die-hard trampoline fan, who also owns a trampoline park, warned.

While outdoor activities are largely up to the weather, the indoor trampoline parks are really good places to go whenever you are seeking a fun cardio workout (有氧运动).

A．Nowadays the places are much better.

B．It is a fun activity to share with friends.

C．There are separate zones for different functions.

D．However, preparation and safety always come first.

E．Specially designed clothes are needed when you trampoline.

F．Indeed, a trampoline workout can be beneficial to your health.

G．Adults too have jumped on the trend, hoping to relive their childhood.

9 . Fun Indoor Activities for Kids to Do At Home

Indoor days can be just as fun as the get-up-and-go ones, with a little planning and preparation. These are some of the most fun indoor activities for kids.

DIY Your Own Masterpieces

Time to bring out all your markers, glue, paint, paper places, and whatever other odds and ends you have around the house and let the kids go to town. When you’re done, take the works of art and display them on shelves.

Start an Indoor Garden

You don’t even need empty planters to get the garden growing — an old egg carton will do the trick at first. To make it more of a STEM activity, give kids journals so they can take notes on what they’ve planted and keep track of their garden’s progress. Bonus: Plant basil seeds or other herbs, and you’ll have delicious ingredients for a cooking project.

Break out the Board Games

It’s the oldest idea in the book, but if you really want some screen-free family time, old-fashioned board games still do the trick. Get your competitive spirit up and get ready to play.

Indoor Obstacle Course

This activity is great for young ones working on their coordination (协调) or older ones who might need to get some energy out. Cardboard boxes can transform into tunnels to crawl through. You can tie strings around furniture and pretend that they’re laser beams that kids have to step over or crawl under. See who in the family has the fastest time getting through the obstacles.

Stock up on the materials now — though you might have what you need lying around the house already — and you’ll never fear an indoor day again.

10 . When the winds begin to rise over Bali Island, the sky will be decorated with colors that announce the arrival of kite season.

It’s a summer activity that brings back joyful memories of childhood to Balinese photographer Putu Sayoga. As a young boy, he’d watch elder kids pull kites through rice fields near his village after harvest season. When the winds didn’t come, the boys would whistle loudly, acting out stories of Rare Angon, the name of a character in Balinese epic story respected by kite flyers. According to the legend, his magical flute beckoned (召唤) the winds. Kites that dance in those sudden strong winds are said to help farmers keep harmful insects away from their harvests.

In the early 1970s, foreign visitors began flooding into Bali’s white sand beaches and in 1978 the island launched an annual kite festival that quickly grew into a large competition. Three styles of kite take flight at the festival: the long-tailed bird; the fish, perhaps the most popular; and the leaf, considered the toughest to fly because of earlier preparation.

The COVID-19 pandemic put off the kite festival in Bali Island. But in the absence of tourists, Sayoya rediscovered the beauty of kite flying without earlier preparation. One day, Sayoga spotted a colorful gathering overhead. Down a small side road, he found an illegal festival. The police had forced the kite flyers to leave the beach, so they had to remove to a rice field. Sayoga asked if he could film it and they agreed — so long as he focused his camera on the kites and not their faces.

This year, the official kite festival has returned to Bali’s beaches, but informal festivals, like the one Sayoga photographed, have also stuck around again. For Sayoga, who had long avoided the overcrowded pre-pandemic festivals, these gatherings have helped him rediscover the entertainment he loved as a child. Now when he goes to see the kites fly, he may intentionally leave his camera at home.

1. Why do people fly kites in the festival in Bali’s legend?

C．To act out stories of Rare Angon.	D．To leave good memories to children.

2. What can we know about flying kites in the passage?

A．Foreign tourists flood into Bali for the kite festival.

B．The competition is based on the three styles of kite.

C．The pandemic did not reduce people’s love for flying kites.

D．The police in Bali had the right to stop people flying kites.

3. What does the underlined “stuck around” mean in Paragraph 5?

A．Improved.	B．Appeared.
C．Functioned.	D．Stayed.

4. Which sentence does Soyaga agree with according to the text?

A．Illegal kite festivals should also be encouraged.

B．Crowded festivals could bring in more entertainment.

C．Cameras should be placed on the kites instead of faces.

D．Recording kites gives way to watching them flying.
