China Makes History in Tennis Mixed Doubles, Quan Shines in Diving

China power into tennis mixed doubles final for 1st time in history

Chinese pair Wang Xinyu and Zhang Zhizhen made history after coming from behind to beat

Demi Schuurs and Wesley Koolhof of the Netherlands to reach the Paris Olympics tennis

1     

(mix) doubles final on August 1.

The Netherlands pair collected the first set 6-2 in 37 minutes, while Wang and Zhang took

back the second set 6-4. In the deciding set, China took the tie-breaker and scored 10 points

first against their opponents’ four.

It is also the first time for Wang to team up with Zhang,

2        

original teammate was Zheng

Qinwen, while the 

3         

(late), who reached the women’s singles final on Thursday, had to quit

the mixed doubles to concentrate on the singles.

“We can only keep 

4       

(adapt) to the opponents and hit the ball in the way we want,” said

Zhang. “But the great thing is that we do adapt faster and faster.” That is 

5         

(exact) how

the Chinese pair reacted to their Netherlands’ rivals on Thursday. “They didn’t give us much

time to get used to their rhythm, nailing down the first set in around half an hour, while we

were still looking for opportunities and exploring ways 

6          

(break) their defense,” recalled

Zhang.

“In the quarterfinals, we took much more time to scramble the initiative, but today we quickly

found the key to counter the opponents in 

7         

second set,” Zhang noted.

The Chinese pair, though they 

8         

(team) up only three days ago, appeared to be enjoying

the matches. They high-fived each other when they scored, smiled and encouraged

9           

(they)  when they lost, and Zhang even bounced 

10        

 music during breaks.

The Paris 2024 Olympics are expected to boost France's GDP in the

third quarter by 0.3 percentage points, raising the growth rate

during the period up to 0.5%, according to France's National

Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE).

根据法国国家统计与经济研究所（INSEE）的数据，2024年巴黎奥运会

预计将使法国第三季度GDP增长0.3个百分点， 使同期的增长率达到0.5%。

Ticket sales and revenues from audiovisual broadcasting have a

direct positive effect on French economic activities in Q3,

contributing 0.25 percentage points, it said, while tourists, an

uncertain factor of the "Olympic effect", will also contribute to the

GDP growth in the period.

INSEE称，门票销售和视听广播收入对法国第三季度的经济活动产生直接

积极影响， 贡献了0.25个百分点，而游客作为“奥运效应”的不确定因素，

将对这一时期的GDP增长做出贡献。

The Center for Law and Economics of Sport (CDES) at the

University of Limoges estimates that between 2018, when

preparations for the Paris Olympics began, and 2034, a decade

after the event, the economic impact of the Olympics for the Ile-

de-France region will be between 6.7 and 11.1 billion euros, with a

median of around 9 billion euros. Of this amount, 70 percent would

come from construction and event organization, with 30 percent

from tourism.

We Should Shoulder the Responsibility

     I was surfing the Internet when a report about post-00s

firefighters and post-00s volunteers attracted my eyes.The

report showed that many post-00s role models emerged in the

mountain fire in Chongqing and the Luding earthquake, who

showed their bravery and sense of responsibility.

      In some people’s view, it seems as if the post-00s were

the most rebellious generation. However, when faced with

natural disasters, they risked their lives to rescue people

trapped in ruins or floods, totally leaving their safety

behind.They really live up to the society’s expectations and

deserve our respect and admiration.

     Deeply affected by their stories, I call on all the young

people to learn from them and shoulder our responsibility，

making our contributions as individuals.

The fire started to spread all over the hotel，and people

fleeing out of it in time

 ①were still in great panic.

Just

at that moment，a sharp scream came out of the crowd.A young

mother 

②who was dead with fright(定语从句)

 cried that her

baby was still in the hotel room.Hearing that，

③a flood of

fear welled up in the crowd(无灵主语句)，

and they didn’t know

what they could do in that situation.They tried to comfort the

woman

 ④who had been scared out of her wits，

but words just

failed them.They almost lost hope when a young man quickly

ran to the pool in front of the hotel，poured water on his

jacket and then rushed into the burning room.Seeing the

scene，everyone 

⑤ was numb with fear，

wishing he could

successfully bring the baby out.

⑥Everyone’s heart was stuck

in their throat 

until they heard some cry of a baby.

Chinese ancient civilisation has continued all the way through into

modern times, despite the many ups and downs in 

  1  

 (it) history.

There are many reasons why this has been possible, but one of the

main factors has been the Chinese writing system.

       At the 

  2  

 (begin), written Chinese was a picture-based

language. It dates back several thousand years to the use of 

longgu

— animal bones and shells on which symbols 

  3  

 (carve) by ancient

Chinese people.

     By the Shang Dynasty, these symbols 

  4  

 (become) a well-

developed writing system. Over the years, the system developed into

different forms, as it was a time when people were divided 

  5

(geographical), leading to many varieties of dialects and characters.

This, however, changed under Emperor Qinshihuang of 

  6  

 Qin

Dynasty.

      Emperor Qinshihuang unified the seven major states

into one 

  7  

 (unite) country where the Chinese writing

system began to develop in one direction. Today, no matter

where Chinese people live or 

  8  

 dialect they speak, they

can all still communicate in writing.

     Written Chinese has also become an important means 

  9

which China’s present is connected with its past. The high

regard for the Chinese writing system can be seen as an art

form, 

 10  

 (know) as Chinese calligraphy, which has become

an important part of Chinese culture.

我们都在忐忑不安地等待实验伙伴的宣布。我一直期待着

一个外向、易于相处的女生搭档。令我失望的是，我被分配

和一个非常严肃的家伙一起工作，他总是穿着深色衣服，总

是对别人的工作不满意。得知这一点，我心中涌起了恐惧。

老实说，我太害怕了，每次和他说话，喉咙都会发紧，膝盖

都会不由自主地颤抖。尽管焦虑又紧张，我别无选择，只好

集中精力和他一起设计我们的项目。然而，我逐渐发现他其

实有着极好的个性，这消除了我的焦虑和恐慌。我相信我们

的努力会有回报的。

 Benefits of military training for high school students

     In my opinion, there are several advantages of high school

students participating in military training.

     Firstly, military training contributes to enhancing physical

fitness. Through various physical exercises and military drills, we can

improve our strength, endurance, and coordination, fostering a

healthier body. Secondly, it cultivates a spirit of teamwork. Military

training requires us to cooperate and face challenges together,

promoting teamwork that is crucial for personal and professional

development. Most importantly, military training hones the quality of

determination.

     Therefore, I firmly believe military training is a valuable

experience for our high school students.

     Together, they ran to the coach, holding their possession.

They waited for his feedback anxiously. “Lovely, who did it?”

Coach asked, his gaze shifting from one player to another.

“We did it together, Sir!” Viraj said, filled with team spirit.

“How did you come up with such a brilliant idea?” the coach

asked, his eyes shining with pride. Viraj responded, “It was

Amol's idea, and we all agreed.” The coach nodded

approvingly and replied, “Just as all the colours in the jersey

merged, you too adjusted to each other's views, leaving

behind your grudges. So, teamwork led to a wonderful

result.”

       “Yes, Sir!! Teamwork will also lead us to victory,” the

boys echoed, a shared determination reflected in their

eyes. The weight of defeat was replaced by the promise of

triumph. Gratitude filled the room as all the boys turned to

Amol, expressing their appreciation. “We enjoyed designing

this jersey. Let us play the next match like this — without

disagreement. Cheers to our team!” they exclaimed. At that

moment, the coach's eyes twinkled with pride and hope,

foreseeing not just a victory in the upcoming match but a

triumph of teamwork that would echo far beyond the

football field.

At 10:  00 A. M., Heidi called me at work.

 She

mentioned seeing Garfield on the doorstep of my house,

but he wouldn't allow her to pick him up. I couldn't

believe that Garfield had finally returned home. “Thanks!

I'll call Janette to let him in.” Janette, not having exams

that morning, received the news with delight. Through

the phone, I could hear Janette running down the stairs

and opening the door. After a brief pause, Janette

laughed, “Garfield is back and he's fine.” I smiled with

relief.

      Garfield's feet never touched the ground that evening.

We all took turns holding him and fussing over him as the

long-lost friend that he was. The mystery of where he was

for thirty-eight hours in the wild and how he found his way

back will forever be known to him alone. Garfield's still an

indoor cat under protest. In his safe return, we've learned

to cherish the moments we have with him even more,

grateful for the unique and unspoken connections that

make our family whole.

                                      When English Meets The Arts

     Among the recent "When English Meets The Arts" events at our

school, the "Dramatic Dialogues" performance stands out as a

memorable experience. This activity involved students performing

excerpts from famous English plays, which was not only entertaining

but also educational.

     The performance brought to life the rich language and complex

characters found in English literature. It was fascinating to see how

the actors interpreted the dialogues, adding depth to the words

through their body language and expressions. As an audience

member, I found myself more engaged with the texts than when

reading them in a book. The event highlighted the power of drama as

a tool for language learning and cultural understanding.

     Moreover, it inspired me to explore the performing arts

as a means to better understand English literature. It was a

unique blend of language and art that made the experience

not just enjoyable, but also enlightening. I left the event

with a newfound appreciation for the art of drama and its

potential to enrich our understanding of the English

language.

Here comes the Weekly Chinese Idiom-shuidishichuan.

    Literally, 

shuidishichuan, di means dripping, and shchuan

means cuitting through a stone. The whole idiom

“shuidishichuan” is equal to the saying in the west that

constant dripping wears away a stone. It demonstrates the

power of perseverance and persistence, with which people

can achieve seemingly impossible objectives.

   This idiom has a far-reaching impact on me, not only

encouraging me to stick to my goal, but also convincing me

that all the efforts are worthwhile and will pay off one day.

The Power of Reading

   Reading is an essential part of our lives. It allows us to

explore new worlds, gain knowledge, and develop our

imagination. Reading is not only a source of entertainment

but a means of expanding our minds and broadening our

horizons.

   One book that I particularly enjoy is to Kill a mockingbird

by Harper Lee. This classic novel set in the 1930s American

South tells the story of a young girl’s growth and her

father’s battle against racism and injudice.

    I love this book because it is a timeless masterpiece

that tackles important themes such as racial inequality and

social injustice.

From June 2 to 3, Chang'e-6 successfully completed the intelligent

and rapid sampling in the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of

the moon, and stored the precious lunar far side samples in the

storage device carried by the ascender, completing the "packing" of

this cosmic express delivery.

Compared with the lunar surface take-off of Chang'e-5, the

engineering implementation of the lunar far side take-off of the

Chang'e-6 ascender is more difficult. With the assistance of the

Queqiao-2 relay satellite, the Chang'e-6 ascender realizes autonomous

positioning and attitude determination with the help of special sensors

carried by itself. After ignition and take-off, the ascender went

through three stages of vertical ascent, attitude adjustment, and

orbit injection, and successfully entered the predetermined circular

orbit around the moon. In the follow-up, lunar samples will be

transferred to the returner and brought back to Earth by the

returner.

My first experience in career

Last month, I participated in the practice project “My First

Experience in Career” organized by the school. It involved

positions in different fields and I chose to be a journalist.

My experience took place in the local newspaper agency. Guided

by a professional, I got involved in the whole process of making a

journalist. Not only did I join in conducting the street interviews

and searching for background information, I also played a part in

writing and polishing stories and writing headlines. Seeing my

article carried in the next day

’

s newspaper, I felt my heart

swelling with a sense of pride and achievement.

The rewarding experience gave me a clear idea of what it takes

to be a qualified journalist and inspired me to strive to pursue my

dream career.

My First Experience in Career

Last month, I had the privilege of participating in our school

’

s

initiative,“My First Experience in Career. It aimed to provide

students like me with a glimpse into diverse professions.

My journey began at a local hospital, where I shadowed as a

diligent nurse for a day. Witnessing her interactions with patients,

meticulous care, and swift decision-making, I gained a deeper

understanding of the immense responsibility and compassion

required in this noble profession. It was an eye-opening experience

that left me grateful for the healthcare workers who tirelessly

save lives.

This practical experience transformed me, increasing my

knowledge and igniting ambition. I

’

m thankful to our school for

organizing such a meaningful program and excited for future

opportunities.

Dear James,

   I’m terribly sorry that I won’t be able to finish my essay on

cultural differences before the deadline, and I’m writing to ask

for one more week.

   My mother suddenly fell ill yesterday and I have to go back

home ASAP. It will possibly take me one week. I’ve already

written an outline and a draft for the essay and I promise I’ll

hand it in as soon as I return.

   I’d appreciate it if my request can be approved. Looking

forward to your reply.

                                                                               Yours truly
