There are many stories which show filial (孝顺的) respect in ancient China. Stories like “Taste Liquid (液体的) Medicine for Mother” of Emperor Wen of the Western Han dynasty not only tell us the filial virtue (美德) but also remind us of the greatest love we get from our parents.

The selfless love from a mother is also a popular topic in poetry. The poem Song of the Parting Son, written by the Tang Dynasty poet Meng Jiao (751—814), is one example.

From the treads a mother’s hand weaves,

A gown for parting son is made.

Sewn stitch by stitch before he leaves,

For fear his return be delayed.

Such kindness as young grass receives,

From the warm sun can’t be repaid.

(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)

 The poem shows a situation from everyday life: A mother sewing (缝) clothes for her son. Here Meng uses two everyday things, the thread (线) and the needle (针), to cmpare the close relationship between mother and son. They are always connected to each other. When the son is traveling far away, the mother is afraid that his return will be delayed. So she carefully sews the clothes. In the last two lines, the poet uses a metaphor (暗喻). He compares mothers to the warm sun in spring while children are like grass. It is hard for a child’s love to equal that of a mother’s.

Although this poem is abut a mother’s selfless love for her son, we hope you enjoy the deep feeling behind the lines. Whatever changes take place in society and life, love from parents will never change. So always remember to show filial respect to your parents for their selfless love and make efforts to improve virtue in our families.

(    ) 28. What does the underlined word “delay” mean in Chinese?

      A. 推迟        B. 拒绝      C. 打扰

Pinocchio had a fever. The Fairy took a glass of water with medicine and said lovingly to Pinocchio:” Drink this, you’ll be up and well.”

Pinocchio looked at the glass worriedly and said, “I’d rather die than drink that awful medicine.”

At that moment, the door of the room flew open and in came four rabbits as black as ink, carrying a small black coffin (棺材) on their shoulders.

“What do you want?” asked Pinocchio.

“We have come for you,” said the largest rabbit.

“Oh, Fairy, my Fairy,” Pinocchio cried out, “Give me that glass! Quick, please! I don’t want to die!” and holding the glass with his two hands, he took the medicine quickly. Then the rabbits had to leave.

“After that,” the Fairy added, “Pinocchio, tell me how you were in the hands of the robbers (强盗) last time.”

“I had five gold pieces to give to my father, but on the way I met two robbers. They tied my neck with a rope and hung me to a tree,” said Pinocchio.

“Where are the gold pieces now?” the Fairy asked.

“I lost them,” answered Pinocchio. As he spoke, his nose became at least two inches (英寸) longer.

“And where did you lose them?”

“In the wood nearby.” At this second lie, his nose grew a few more inches.

“If you lost them in the near-by wood,” said the Fairy, “we’ll look for them and find them.”

“Ah, now I remember,” replied Pinocchio, “I did not lose the gold pieces, but I took them.”

At this third lie, his nose became longer than ever. The Fairy sat looking at him and laughing.

“Why do you laugh?” Pinocchio asked her, worried now at the sight of his growing nose.

“I am laughing at your lies.”

“How do you know I am lying?”

“Lies, my boy, are known in a moment. There are two kinds of lies, lies with short legs and lies with long noses. Yours, just now, happen to have long noses.”

Many people have difficulty in getting up in the morning. This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation.      36       .

During the hours hours when you work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. When your cycle of body temperature is at its peak (顶峰), it is the time when you feel most energetic. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so. But it may explain some troubles in our daily life. For example, if you are always late for class,     37    , not in the morning. Another example is that when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and how the energy cycles work, they may end the family fight quickly.

You can’t change your energy cycle,     38     . Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. If so, staying up later than you want to may counteract (中和) your cycle in some way. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, get up earlier before your usual hour.      39      .

Fall asleep slowly may save your energy. Get up with a comfortable yawn (哈欠).       40      . Avoid the trouble of looking for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.

China’s Wetland Protection Efforts Help Birds

When winter comes, Siberian cranes (西伯利亚白鹤) fly from northeast Siberia in Russia to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi province, China. However, climate change has endangered the birds’ living places.

“In some years, the Poyang Lake experiences floods, while in others, it experiences droughts (干旱). Both of these caused food shortages in cranes’ living places,” Qian Fawen, a researcher from the National Bird Banding Center of China, said. To help deal with the problem, the local government has built 70 hectares of lotus roots (莲藕) in Nanchang to provide food during the winter for the cranes. The birds’ population has risen from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years, according to Qian.

Over the years, China has worked hard to protect these birds. Recently 1,140 places in the country have been taken as living places for them. Most of the endangered birds stay in wetlands. Known as the “Earth’s kidneys (肾脏)”, wetlands play a key role in cleaning water, preventing floods, and helping with biodiversity (生物多样性).

To protect China’s wetlands, the Wetlands Protection Law was published on June 1, 2022. It stops building work on important national wetlands and some activities. Thanks to these efforts, more birds stay in the nation’s wetlands in winter. In February, Hunan government reported that black-faced spoonbills (黑脸琵鹭), also endangered birds, were seen at Dongting Lake after an absence of five years. If we protect the wetlands well, we will see more endangered animals and enjoy more beauty of nature.

41. What caused food shortages in cranes’ living places at the Poyang Lake?

42. How many cranes were there at the Poyang Lake 20 years ago?

43. What has China done to protect these birds over the years?

44. Why did the Wetlands Protection Law come out?

45. Nowadays, can people see black-faced spoonbills at Dongting Lake in winter?
