She Makes the World Hear the "Voice of China"
Zheng Xiaohui is a Chinese student in Milan, Italy. To spread traditional Chinese culture to the world, she has given lots of erhu shows on the street.
Zheng has been playing the erhu since she was 9. And she has won prizes in many national music competitions. Zheng arrived in Italy in 2021. Since April 2023, she has been performing （表演）on the street during her free time. And now she does three or four street shows in a month.
At first, Zheng did not plan to perform on the street. But after watching a video of a violinist's street performance, she changed her mind.
Thinking back to her first street performance, she said she was worried at the time. But the enthusiastic response（热情的回应）from the audience（观众）cheered her up. “When I played 'Goodbye, My Friend', a grandfather started to dance. Many people in the audience followed him. Even I could not help dancing along with them,” Zheng said.
After performing a few times, Zheng began sharing videos of her street shows on the Internet. And these videos soon became popular online. Zheng says she wants to show the beauty of Chinese erhu to the world. "I believe that Chinese music has built a bridge for cultural communication," she says.
Talking about the future, Zheng looks forward to it. She says whatever she does and wherever she lives, she will bring her erhu with her. "I hope to hold my own special concert in the future to make more people learn about Chinese folk music," she says.

Village Super, or cunchao, has gone viral (爆火) in China. Village Super is short for Village Football Super League (乡村足球超级联赛). On March 16, 2024, the second Village Super took place in Rongjiang County, Guizhou Province. A total of 20 teams of local people played for the honour of their villages. The teams competed on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, with the final competition on July 20. Organized by local soccer fans, Village Super attracted players from all walks of life, such as farmers, vendors (小贩), small business owners, construction workers and truck drivers.

Liam Hannon was only ten when he started handing out free lunches to people who were hungry. With the help from his family and other supporters, he hands out 75 to 100 lunches three times a month. We asked Liam to tell us about it.
Q: How did you get the idea of making free lunches?
A: Four summers ago, I didn't want to go camping. Instead, I did an online treasure-hunt programme. My first task was to do something to help homeless people, and I got the idea of making them lunch.
Q: What's the best part about what you do?
A: I'd say meeting the people. They're real people who just need a little kindness in their lives. Some of them have become friends of our family.
Q: What would you tell other kids who want to make a difference?
A: I want to tell them to do something they enjoy and get help from friends and family. I invite my friends to help with lunches, and almost every time, they've come and given out lunches with me and my dad.

Ryrkaypiy, a village with about 700 people, is located in the north-east of Russia. Standing on the coast of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋), it has to brave both the Arctic's cold weather and wild animals like polar bears. Most of the area's polar bears live a few miles away from Ryrkaypiy.
Only a few bears come near to the village now and then.
But last winter, over 50 polar bears went to Ryrkaypiy in search of food. The villagers were told to stay indoors to avoid danger. Now polar bears come to the village more often and in larger numbers than ever.
Although polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their life on the sea ice. The ice gives them a place where they can have a rest and catch fish. But as the temperature rises because of global（全球的）warming, the bears have started to find their home disappearing.
Polar bears normally go onto dry land in summer, and return to the ice when the ocean freezes (冰冻) again in autumn. But over the past few years, the ocean has frozen later and later, and the ice area has become smaller and smaller. Unable to live on the ice, hungry polar bears have to look for food on land, including villages like Ryrkaypiy.
In some countries, polar bears are considered as endangered animals. If the earth becomes so warm that there is no longer enough ice for the bears to live on, there will probably be no polar bears.
Actions must be taken to protect both polar bears and humans.
1. Why did so many polar bears go to Ryrkaypiy last year ______ ? Actions must be taken to protect both polar bears and humans.
2. When do polar bears usually return to the ice from the dry land ______ ?
3. What do you think we can do for both polar bears and ourselves? (At least two points ______ )

Emoji（表情包）history was made on Sept.19，1982，when professor Scott Fahlman at Carnegie Mellon University，the US，posted“：-”on the school's online bulletin board（电子布告栏）. Guinness World Records called this smiley（笑着的）face“the first digital emoticon
（数字表情符号）”.
In the 40 years since, emoticons, and later emojis, have become central to our conversations online. Now there are 3 600 emojis available for us to show our feelings, according to CNN.
"They offer things that words aren't saying. They say that when you say 'okay', what kind of okay is that," Jennifer Daniel, head of the Emoji Subcommittee for the Unicode Consortium, an organization in charge of choosing official emojis, told CNN. She said emojis are like our "body language" online. A study even found that the use of emojis helps us get the same happiness from talking online as we do in person.
Just as language develops, so do emojis. The Unicode Consortium brings out new emojis every year. In 2015, it released（发布）different skin tones（肤色）. In 2016, different jobs were added. In 2019, emojis of disabled people were added.
What is the future of emojis? Will emojis develop to become an international language? Or will emojis go the way of the emoticon and disappear after the next big thing comes along? It is hard to predict even technology and language experts are divided on the topic. What do you think?
1. When did the Unicode Consortium bring out different job emojis ______ ?
2. How many people put "thumbs-up" emoji first in the survey ______ ?
3. What do you think is the future of emojis? Why ______ ?
