Each of them is divided into two partsthe core（核心）protection area and the general control area. In the core protection area, only research and surveillance（监视）in science are allowed. And the general control area is open to the public, allowing travel activities such as camping and hiking. In the future, national parks are expected to be natural classrooms. People can learn about different kinds of animals and plants through eco-friendly travel activities. Three River-Source National Park on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the largest national park in China. Because it is home to the sources of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang rivers, people call it “Chinas water tower”. Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park is in Heilongjiang and Jilin Provinces. It covers an area of 14,100 square kilometres. It is our countrys biggest and only place for wild Siberian tigers and Amur leopards to live in. Wuyi Mountain National Park in Fujian Province is a UNESCO natural and cultural heritage site（遗址）. The forest makes up over 96 percent of the park. The park is the paradise of birds, kingdom of snakes and world of insects. You can also see the Danxia landform（地貌）there. Giant Panda National Park connects panda habitats（栖息地）in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu Provinces. Inside the park are more than 1,600 wild giant pandas.

The relationships among the five national parksBYou must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese? Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions（红楼梦）, written by Cao Xueqin（17151763）. Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, the US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan in 2017. Many of the operas creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights（剧作家）. Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera. The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a tragedy（悲剧）that everyone would understand. The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage decorations. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage. The creators considered the work of introducing a Chinese classic to Western audience was worth doing. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution（贡献）to the land where my parents were born”.41. Where was the opera first performed?A. In Beijing.B. In Changsha.C. In San Francisco.D. In Wuhan.42. What do we know about A Dream of Red Mansions from Paragraph 4?A. It is mainly about the rise and greatness of the Qing Dynasty.B.

Timmy Yip knows a lot about Chinese culture as well as American culture.45. What do creators of the opera think of their job?A. Difficult and unbelievable.B. Stressful and tough.C. Satisfying and meaningful.D. Painful and challenging.CIs there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam? Walking backward might be a solution. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory. Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, participants were split into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 metres forward. The second group walked 10 metres backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average than the other two groups. This suggests that the link between the concepts（概念）of time and space is important in terms of how our minds form memories. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle. This difference helps people recall things that took place in the past. And walking backward is not just good for our brains. It is also good for the rest of our bodies. Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories. In addition walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines（脊柱）strong, which can help to reduce pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward.46.

Test about walking backward.DThe worlds first fully hydrogen-powered（氢动力）train line has officially begun running in Germany The trains make almost no noise and run without polluting. Germany is planning to replace many of its diesel（柴油）trains with hydrogen trains. On October 24, 2022, five hydrogen-powered trains began to make the 100-kilometre trip between Cuxhaven and Buxtehude in Germany. The new trains are part of a $ 92.5 million project by LNVG, which has been testing the hydrogen-powered trains since 2018. At present, most trains run on diesel power. When diesel fuel is burned, it creates CO2 and other polluting gases. These gases have helped create the climate crisis. Thats partly why the LNVG has decided that all the trains on the route will run on hydrogen. The trains, called Coradia iLint trains, are built by the French company, Alstom. And LNVG has ordered a total of 14 of the hydrogen-powered trains. Hydrogen is a gas that burns easily. Hydrogen can be used to create electricity by combining with oxygen in a “fuel cell”. A fuel cell is like a battery that never runs down as long as it has hydrogen. The chemical reaction which takes place creates electricity. The Coradia iLint trains run on electricity created by hydrogen fuel cells. If the fuel cells make too much electricity, its used to recha
