The conflict (冲突) between Russia and Ukraine itself may be a questionable topic, yet it is the people who suffer the most. More than 4 million Ukrainians had fled from their homeland one month after it began. It was the biggest migration (移民) wave since World War II.
I wanted to help by being a volunteer. However, it was difficult because I don’t speak Russian or Ukrainian. Luckily, after searching on the Internet, I was finally able to sign up to volunteer in a modern gallery called Svetova 1.
The gallery is owned by an overseas Chinese in Prague, Czech Republic, and had over 40 volunteers to provide 24/7 aid to the Ukrainian refugees (难民). During a two-week intensive (集中的) aid program, the gallery provided a place to live and food for up to five people for free and also served as a safe and interesting space for children, where English classes, games and other fun activities were organized.
Due to my busy school and work schedule, I was only able to volunteer there twice. But, besides the owner and his family, I was the first Chinese volunteer. My role was to help the refugees fill out registration (登记) papers. Sometimes, it was difficult with the language barrier, but there were translators to help.
I was so impressed by one Ukrainian mother and her two kids, who still had such kind smiles and bright eyes, despite all the awful things they must have experienced. Some other people may not be able to easily understand their feelings, but I really valued this chance to be with those people in need, doing what I could. Because we are all humans, we should come together in difficult times.

Born in Zhejiang Province, Shen Kuo was an excellent scientist of the Northern Song dynasty. He was a gifted scholar of literature, physics, chemistry, calendars, medical science and many other fields. In his life, Shen held a number of official positions. He once represented the government to the Liao Kingdom and led soldiers in battle. At one time, he served as the director to watch the stars. So, Shen Kuo was well-known for his amazing talent in ancient China.
Shen Kuo was especially known for the explanations of natural phenomena found in his famous book Mengxi Bitan, or Dream Pool Essays. The book was widely regarded as an important scientific work in ancient China. There is a story about the origin of Mengxi Bitan. While in his thirties, Shen Kuo often dreamed of a place. In the dream, he climbed a hill, the top of which was covered with brightly-colored flowers and trees. A clear stream flowed at the foot of the hill. Later on, when traveling around, he was shocked to find a piece of land that was just the place in his dream. After his retirement, he remained there for the last seven years, naming it “Dream Brook Garden”, and wrote down the discoveries he had made in his lifetime.
In Mengxi Bitan, he wrote a lot about the animals and plants he had seen when traveling through the country, such as the giant clam(蛤蜊)in the South Sea, the crocodile in Chaozhou and Chinese wolfberries in the northwest of China. The book also introduced some methods to kill insect pests.
Shen Kuo was the first to discover that the compass does not point directly north, but to the north magnetic pole(北磁极). He also had deep knowledge about fossils. When visiting the Taihang Mountains in Shanxi Province, he found fossilized seashells and noted the egg-shaped stones like those were often found on the area by the sea. This led him to conclude that at some time in the distant past, Shanxi had been covered by the sea.
Shen Kuo was hundreds of years ahead of Western scientists in many fields. His work Mengxi Bitan was a milestone in the history of Chinese science. Today, this amazing 1,000-year-old work has been translated into a number of different languages.

He was the only gray cub (狼崽) of the she-wolf. The other cubs had red in their hair. He was gray like his father. He was the strongest cub. He showed more anger than his brothers and sisters. He made more noises.
He was a carnivorous animal. He came of a breed of meat-killers and meat-eaters. His father and mother lived wholly upon meat. In his first months of life, he lived on mother’s milk, which was transformed directly from meat. And now, at a month old, when his eyes had been open for but a week, he was beginning himself to eat meat.
There came a time when there was no meat. For many days the cubs did not eat. They were too weak and tired to play. One-Eye, the cub’s father, was killed in the fight over food. Even the she-wolf left the cave to find meat, but there was nothing. One by one, the cubs died. Only the she-wolf and the gray cub were left.
One day, the gray cub ran out of the cave to hunt for his own food. He met a weasel (黄鼠狼) of his size. The rat-like animal ran at him and bit his throat. He was nearly dead when the she-wolf arrived just in time to kill and eat it.
The gray cub was not good at hunting yet, and still needed food from his mother. One day, the she-wolf brought him a lynx (猞猁) kitten. While eating, he heard great noise. The kitten’s mother had followed the she-wolf here. The she-wolf and the she-lynx started to fight, and they would fight to the death. The bite was enough to give the she-wolf the chance she needed. The lynx was dead, but the she-wolf was badly hurt. For a week, she did not move. The gray cub had to find food for both of them.
Without his mother to take care of him, he learnt what life was about. Without meat there was no life. Animals had to eat other animals to survive. The law was: EAT OR BE EATEN.

Zibo city in Shandong province has unexpectedly gone viral on Chinese social media since late February for its local barbecue specialty. In March, the small city received about 4.8 million tourists. It is certainly not the only city that offers barbecue, or even the most famous one, but why did it enjoy such great popularity?
Zhou Maosong, president of the Zibo Tourism Promotion Association, said the popularity started from the crowd-gathering effect of cultural and tourism activities including a music festival. Then famous people tasted the barbecue and put their experiences online attracting young people, which led to a wave of students from neighbouring cities visiting Zibo. What better way to attract adventurous and hungry college students except “tasty barbecue that makes you full within only 50 yuan!”
However, Zibo did not fall into the trap of easy fame that dies fast where sellers cheat buyers on price and quality for the most money in the shortest time. A blogger on Douyin took an electronic scale to ten barbecue stands in Zibo to test if he would be offered less food. It turned out that not a single one was caught short of weight and some owners even offered him local snacks for free. Local people’s honest and friendly behaviour touched even more people online and again lifted the city’s popularity.
Zibo’s successful story has raised a heated discussion about hometown cultural symbols on Weibo. People post about their cities’ unique dishes, places, etc, hoping their hometown may be the next Zibo.
回答下面 5 个问题，每题答案不超过 6 个词。
61.How many tourists visited Zibo in March?
62.What did Zibo’s popularity start from according to Zhou?

My favourite traditional Chinese story
When it comes to traditional stories in China, I like Yu Gong Moves the Mountains best.
Once upon a time, there was an old man called Yu Gong. Near his home stood high mountains which prevented him going outside easily. Therefore, he decided to move them away. Together with his sons and grandsons, he began his tough job. Regardless of being laughed at, they kept on working day after day. Finally, a god was moved by their persistence and took the mountains away.
This story reminds us nothing is impossible as long as we put our effort into it. We should never give up on the way of seeking light.
