Five Ancient Chinese Poems about Spring
As the winter chill still lingers through early spring, longing for warm days has sprung up everywhere. Before the
flowers are in full blossom, here is a collection of ancient Chinese poems picturing the revival of life during spring.
The English translations used in this article are from Chinese translator Xu Yuanchong's editions.
Spring Morning-by Meng Haoran (689-740) of the Tang Dynasty (618-907)
This spring morning in bed I'm lying,
Not to awake till birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers?
Written in a Village South of the Capital-by Cui Hu (772-846) of the Tang Dynasty
In this house on this day last year, a pink face vied
In beauty with the pink peach blossoms side by side.
I do not know today where the pink face has gone;
In the vernal breeze still smile pink peach blossoms full-blown.
Happy Rain on a Spring Night (Excerpts)-by Du Fu (712-770) of the Tang Dynasty
Good rain knows its time right;
It will fall when comes spring.
With wind it steals in night;
Mute, it moistens each thing.
Dreaming of the Southern Shore-by Bai Juyi (772-846) of the Tang Dynasty
Fair Southern shore,
With scenes I adore.
At sunrise riverside flowers redder than fire,
In spring green waves grow as blue as sapphire,
Which I can't but admire.
Love Seeds-by Wang Wei (701-761) of the Tang Dynasty
Red berries grow in the southern land,
How many load in spring the trees?
Gather them till full is your hand;
They would revive fond memories.

On the outside, 12-year-old Luna seems like your average kid. It's not until you get to know her that you learn
that Luna is anything but average.
Born with a heart defect () called dextrocardia, Luna has had three open-heart operations and continues to
pursue her interests in art and fashion. But when Luna was approached by athletic shoe company Saucony to design a
shoe for sale across the country, it came as quite a surprise.
"This is so incredible. I got to use my art and creativity for something new that I'd never thought I'd be able to
design," Luna said. She is one of six patients from Boston Children's Hospital (BCH) who have partnered with
Saucony to design their own shoe to launch the Shoes with Soul campaign.
"Rather than just a donation, we wanted to create an experience and a moment that would not only raise money,
but also awareness to highlight all the amazing work that's being done at BCH," says Chris, Saucony's vice president.
"Specifically, we wanted to give some of the BCH kids an opportunity to share their stories and their talents with the
world."
Luna's design is fashionable. "On the tongue, they digitalized one of my drawings, and then on the bottom it's a
really bright pink color, and on the inside, the sole of the shoe is actually another drawing I did of a sunset," she said.
"Thinking about kids everywhere around the world wearing my shoe is amazing. It blows my mind."
The income from the shoe sales will benefit the Boston Children's Hospital Cardiac Fitness Program, which
encourages kids to "find your possible" through personalized exercise programs tailored for each individual patient's
heart condition.
"It feels really good to help people and it's really something I can relate to," says Luna. "The advice I would give
a kid or someone like me is to never give up. There are a lot of kids out there with your condition and you're not
alone."
24. What can we infer from Chris' words?
A. It's unwise to raise money. B. It's optional to seek donations.
C. It's wonderful to study art. D. It's necessary to show kids' talents.
25. What does the underlined sentence "It blows my mind." in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. I'm overjoyed. B. I'm very serious.
C. My mind goes blank. D. My mind is racing.
26. Which of the following best describes Luna?
A. Grateful and helpful. B. Generous and serious.
C. Gifted and determined. D. Creative and sensitive.
27. What is the text mainly intended to do?
A. Tell us the challenges the disabled face. B. Introduce a campaign with kid patients.
C. Launch Saucony's new brand shoes. D. Set a good example to the disabled.
C
Talking to your children about the misinformation (错误信息) they may find online is a great idea. Children don't
always have the judgment or critical thinking skills to test what they read or watch, but they'll develop these abilities
quickly if you help them figure out how to separate fact from fiction. We're here to help you do just that!
Don't wait for your kids to approach you with questions-instead, take a few minutes to sit down with them. Let
them know that there's a lot of content out there on the Internet, and not all of it is true. With everything going on in
the world, remind your kids that they might be seeing a lot of confusing, false information going around on social
media and other parts of the web.
It's a good idea to turn news reports and TV shows into teachable moments. Look for small opportunities to start
helpful conversations about misinformation with your kids. Take a TV show or newspaper article and transform it into
a helpful, easy way to understand what misinformation is and how to avoid it.
Misinformation can be really upsetting and stressful for your kids to think about. Let them know that you're
always available to listen and answer their questions if they're feeling confused. Reassure your kids that there are no
stupid questions, and that you're always willing to explain something to them.
Teach your kids a few tricks to fact-check misinformation online. Remind your kids to be on the lookout for
strange-looking website like those ending with co. Tell them to read through the headline. If it has a lot of mistakes, or
if it's written in all capital ( 大 写 的 ) letters, there's a good chance that it might be misinformation. Additionally,
introduce your kids to official websites, which are quick and easy ways to fact-check information.
28. Why should people talk to their children about online misinformation?
A. There is no information holding true online.
B. There is no one else willing to teach the children.
C. Children lack the ability to judge the information sometimes.
D. Children can't develop the judgment on their own.
29. Why does the author mention the approach in paragraph 4?
A. To relieve children's financial burden.
B. To discourage children from asking stupid questions.
C. To remind parents to seize every chance to teach.
D. To encourage children to communicate with parents.
30. Which of the following is most likely to be misinformation?
A. A passage on the website www.i21st.cn.
B. A passage on the website www.pep.com.cn.
