21、More than three quarters of children aged between 8 and 15 rarely or never listen to birdsong, according to a new study. The nationwide survey revealed that even more young people never watch the sunrise (90%), look at clouds (79%) or smell wildflowers (83%).
Slightly more adults take the time to enjoy the natural world. Of those who responded,62% rarely or never listened to birdsong and 57% rarely or never watched the sunrise. More than 1,000 children and 2,000 adults took part in the study.
The research was carried out by the National Trust----an organization that protects more than 500 historic buildings, ancient monuments, gardens, parks and nature reserves. Professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, who helped analyse the results, said the survey showed that people who spent more time with nature were more likely to help protect animals and the environment.
He explained, “This report for the first time demonstrates that simple everyday acts of noticing nature, that build a closer connection, are key to people taking action for nature. Every bit of connection makes a difference.”
The report found that young people were happier if they were relaxing outdoors, such as sitting in a garden. Wellbeing was also improved by engaging with activities connected to the natural world, such as writing poems and songs about animals or celebrating natural events.
To help tackle the problem, the National Trust has launched a guide to help people connect with nature. The week-by-week Get Connected to Nature programme has lots of tips for activities, all of which take between 20 seconds and 20 minutes to complete, including how to watch butterflies and bees, grow a plant on your windowsill, or build a home for animals.
【1】What's the problem with the people involved in the study?
A．They spent more time with nature.

【3】What's the last paragraph mainly about?

24、Oriol Mas is a young Spanish man who loves Chinese martial arts, or more widely known as Chinese kung fu. Originally, he was in poor health, and accidentally came into contact with traditional Chinese kung fu, and learned to practice, which has much improved his physical state.
In addition to his own practice, Mas also teaches Chinese kung fu to Spanish youth. He said the martial arts has led him into Chinese philosophy, such as Taoism, and made him feel that China is a modern country that preserves its traditional culture.
Shaqliah said that Chinese kung fu not only gives the trainees strength, speed and flexibility in controlling their bodies, helps them link their muscles with their minds, but also helps them to get rid of negative energy resulting from life stresses.
Five-year-old Hasifa Nakirijja is becoming well known in Uganda because of her amazing skills in kung fu. The person behind Nakirijja’s skills is her father, Manisuru Ssejjemba, who in 2017 made a journey to the Shaolin Temple, thousands of kilometers away in China, to explore more of martial arts. Ssejjemba set up a temporary training center behind his house where he trains youngsters to help promote the kung fu culture in Uganda.
Chinese kung fu highlights the harmonization between body and spirit and combines the inner and outer qualities. By bringing up a good temperament (气质) that fills one with energy and life force, and offering exercises to help lead a longer life, kung fu has long been considered as an effective way to maintain good health.
The core philosophy of kung fu is drawn from the Confucius principle of physical and mental blend mixed with neutralization; the Taoist principle of dynamic balance; the Buddhist principle of showing cultural join of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism in China.

26、读后续写
An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window.
The father asked his son, “What is that?” The son replied. “That is a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It’s a crow.”
After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for third time, “What is this?” This time, the son was irritated (生气地) and said to his father in a low and cold tone, “It’s a crow, a crow.”
After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time his son shouted in his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”
A minute later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (破旧的) diary, which d kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the read it, the following words were written in the diary:
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn’t at all feel irritated, but instead felt a deep affection for my innocent son.”
