What are the 24 Slar Terms?
The 24 Slar Terms are part f the traditinal Chinese calendar. 2 , it appeared alng the Yellw River even befre the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC．) , and was almst cmplete by the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220).

This reprt is abut ur recent Year 9 trip t New Zealand in March 2025. The aim is t see hw successful the trip was and t decide if we shuld 1 it t future Year 9 students wh are interested in travel and learning abut ther cultures.
Hst Families
We all agreed that the hst families were friendly and welcme. They made us feel at hme and did their best t make ur stay cmfrtable. Many students said their families were kind and generus. 2 , sme families lived far frm the schl, s we had t wake up befre sunrise t get there n time. I think next time, it wuld be better if hst families lived clser t the schl.
Schl Life Experience
We spent a few days attending classes at the lcal schl. The lessns were different frm urs, with mre grup discussins and 3 learning. One afternn, we had a science lessn in a nearby park, where we studied plants and insects. We als jined a gegraphy class that tk place at the beach, where we learned abut the land and water. It was fun t see hw students in New Zealand study, and we enjyed wrking n small prjects with them.
Cultural Activities
The teachers in New Zealand planned many fun activities fr us. They fund tur guides wh were 4 and easy t understand. We visited many exciting places like Auckland, Rtrua, and the Hbbitn mvie set. These trips were amazing. 5 , the lcal students culd nt jin us because they had schl. I think next time, they shuld cme with us s we can spend mre time tgether.

Mst f us spke English with ur hst families and exchange partners, which helped us feel mre cnfident. Sme f us als spke with the tur guides and learned abut Mari culture and traditins. I think keeping a shrt travel diary wuld help us remember the trip and what we learned.
Overall, bth Shanghai and New Zealand students enjyed the trip. We learned a lt abut life in New Zealand and had fun tgether. I wuld happily recmmend this trip t ther students wh want t find ut abut new places and meet new peple.

Fr a lng time, peple thught daylight tells animals when t rise r rest. When it’s light, rise. When it’s dark, rest. But in 1729, a French scientist tested this with a mimsa (含羞草) plant. The plant’s leaves flded up at night, but when he put it in a dark cupbard, the leaves still flded and unflded 2 .

Amy Cuddy is a scial scientist wh studies bdy language, especially hw we shw pwer with ur bdies. Accrding t her, there are tw kinds f pses, high-pwer pses and lw-pwer pses. Fr example, putting yur hand n yur face r neck is a lw-pwer pse. It makes yu lk 1 and shws a need fr prtectin. Standing tall with hands n yur hips like a bss is a high-pwer pse. It can make yu appear strnger and mre cnfident.
Cuddy thinks that changing ur bdy language can make us feel mre pwerful. T 2 her idea, she did an experiment. First, she invited sme candidates (候选人) t attend a jb interview. Next, just befre the interview, Cuddy asked half the candidates t d high-pwer pses and the ther half t d lw-pwer pses fr tw minutes each. Then they went t the interview rm ne by ne t cmmunicate with the interviewers. All the interviews were 3 and later watched by anther grup f interviewers wh had n idea abut the experiment. Mst f them preferred the candidates wh did high-pwer pses befre the interview.
Cuddy gives a simple 4 fr this. She says that ding sme pses releases particular chemicals in the brain. Fr lw-pwer pses, these chemicals make peple believe they are pwerless. 5 , they ften d nt deal with stress well, and they are less psitive. Oppsitely, Cuddy fund that high-pwer pses release ther chemicals in the brain. These tell peple that they are pwerful, s they then feel cnfident. 6 , Cuddy fund that it didn’t matter what the candidates said r what qualificatins (资格) they had. What mattered was hw cnfident they seemed.
S, ding a high-pwer pse fr just tw minutes can make us feel mre pwerful. And feeling pwerful can change ur lives.

（2025·上海徐汇·二模）A UK bk cmpany recently changed sme wrds in Rald Dahl’s famus children’s bks.
The cmpany said they wanted the stries t be “enjyed by everyne” by remving wrds that might hurt peple’s feelings. But many peple disagreed, saying this censrship (changing r hiding cntent) 1 creativity.
Rald Dahl was a ppular British writer wh wrte funny and magical stries like Charlie and the Chclate Factry and Matilda. His bks are full f silly 2 and wild ideas. Fr example, in The Twits, a man eats spaghetti mixed with wrms! Dahl ften made children the heres, while adults in his stries were smetimes stupid r unkind. His writing style is lud, funny, and exaggerated, which has made kids 3 fr ver 50 years.
Hwever, sme peple think certain wrds in Dahl’s bks are nt 4 tday. The publisher Puffin then asked a team t edit the bks. Wrds like “fat” r “ugly” were remved. Descriptins like “tiny” became “small”, and “mthers” r “fathers” were changed t “parents” r “family”.
These changes made many readers and writers angry. They argue that rewriting bks takes away the authr’s riginal style. They think the changes are unnecessary.
Rald Dahl, wh died in 1990, always refused t change his bks. He nce said, “Children 5 cmplain abut my stries.” Cnsidering peple’s dissatisfactin, Puffin says they will als sell the riginal versins f the bks, called The Rald Dahl Classic Cllectin. Nw, readers can chse between the edited and riginal texts.
This debate shws hw 6 changes ver time. Old bks might include wrds we find unfair r rude tday. But many believe stries shuld stay as the authr wrte them, even if they have ld-fashined ideas. After all, bks are like time capsules-they help us understand the past.

Saying “n” gives us a feeling f freedm
Tina, 14, is a hard-wrking student. She studies hard, fllws the rules at schl, and des whatever her parents, teachers and even friends tell her t d. She seems t be 1 saying “yes” t everything, but Tina is nt always happy abut this. She hpes she culd say “n”.
Saying “n” t thers can be hard fr sme peple. We grw up with the idea that we need t keep a psitive image (正面形象) f urselves and many f us haven’t been trained t think f urselves first while we are grwing up. Hwever, as writer Bi Shumin wrte in her bk Appintment Happiness, saying “n”, like survival, is a basic 2 .
S if yu have the same prblem as Tina des, the first thing yu need t d is t allw yurself t say “n”. But yu dn’t want t be rude when yu 3 smene. Saying “n” while being plite can make yu, as well as the ther persn, feel better. S hw des ne d this?
●Start by saying thanks.
Fr example, in Tina’s case, she culd start with “Thank yu s much fr inviting me t yur party”, r “I’m glad yu feel 4 asking me t d yu a favr”. But after that, remember t give a clear “n”, s peple wn’t ask yu again.
● Say “I dn’t” rather than “I can’t”.
When yu say yu can’t d smething, it means smething utside is 5 yu. But when yu say yu dn’t d smething, it means yu chse nt t d it, n matter what. It helps yu say “n” mre easily in the future.
● Share 6 instead f yur time.
Try writer Alexandra Franzen’s tip. Franzen said that t say “n” nicely, yu shuld ffer anther way t help. This shuld be smething yu can easily d, like smething that takes less time. Fr example, yu culd suggest smene else wh can help r suggest bks yu’ve read that might be f great use.

（2025·上海嘉定·二模）As 2025 starts, s des a new generatin. A generatin is a grup f peple wh were brn during a 1 perid f time, typically 15 t 18 years. Peple brn n r 2 January 1, 2025, thrugh the year 2039 will be called Generatin Beta.
The gruping befre Generatin Beta is called Generatin Alpha (2010-2024). Befre that was Gen Z (1997-2012), Millennials (1981-1996), Gen X (1965-1980), Baby Bmers (1946-1964), and the Silent Generatin (1928-1945).
Gruping peple int generatins is useful fr researchers wh use 3 when studying trends (趋势) in peple’s attitudes and behavirs. Althugh the specific characteristics f this new generatin are nt yet knwn, experts have made sme 4 . Fr example, they think the use f artificial intelligence and ther technlgy will make Gen Beta different frm previus generatins and help them slve prblems in sciety. Challenges like climate change may als inspire Gen Beta t fcus even mre n sustainability (持续性) than previus generatins have.
Jasn Drsey, a researcher and authr, wrte a bk abut generatins. He said that labels (标签) are useful when talking abut a grup f peple wh have 5 the same events r experiences in their lifetimes. Generatinal gruping can be really helpful fr getting a head start and creating a (an) 6 understanding. But it’s als imprtant t remember that even within a generatin, we’re all still individuals.
