The spring equinox (春分) happens every year in March. The equinox is not a full day. It is a specific time. It depends on the position of the sun. The equinox happens when the sun crosses the equator (赤道). The equator is an imaginary line. It is drawn around the center of the Earth. It divides Earth into two halves, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres (半球).
The spring equinox 2025 happened at 5:01 in the afternoon. At this exact moment, the Northern and Southern hemispheres will receive an equal (相等的) amount of sunshine.
Equinoxes happen only twice a year. One equinox happens in March. The other happens in September. This is the autumnal equinox. It is also known as the fall equinox. It marks the beginning of fall for the Northern Hemisphere.
On an equinox, the length of day and night are approximately (近似) equal. This means the equator experiences about 12 hours of daylight. And it experiences about 12 hours of darkness.
The reason an equinox happens has to do with Earth’s axis. The axis is an invisible (看不見的) line. It runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. The planet spins (旋轉(zhuǎn)) around this axis. Earth makes one complete turn around it each day. That is why every part of Earth’s surface gets both day and night.
Earth’s axis has a tilt (傾斜). That’s why different places on Earth experience different amounts of daylight. But during an equinox, this is not the case. The amount of daylight and darkness are nearly equal.

A．It marks the beginning of the spring season.
B．It depends on the position of the sun.

B．There is no darkness at the equator during the equinox.
C．Day and night are almost equal in length at the equator.
D．Day and night last more than 12 hours each at the equator.
4. What does the underlined word “axis” in paragraph 5 mean
A．坐標(biāo)軸 B．傾斜度 C．角度 D．日照量
5. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us
A．The axis spins around this planet. B．Earth makes a complete turn around the planet.
C．The equinox is an invisible line. D．The reason why an equinox happens.

Sugar painting is made of sugar. It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to enjoy.
Since the Warring States Period, people had different ways of making sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, people improved skills of sugar making. So sugar could go into common people’s homes. In the Ming Dynasty, sugar painting first came out. In the Qing Dynasty, sugar painting became popular.
Sugar painting is different from other paintings. Sugar painters use syrup (糖漿) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Syrup may become hard if it cools, so the painters have to make the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is finished.
However, it’s a ________ that this art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, only a few old sugar painters are willing (愿意) to pass on this kind of art.
For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has entered people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual (精神的) support of people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)) in China. So we Chinese should remember, miss and pass on the art till forever.
1. When did sugar painting appear
A．In the Warring States Period. B．In the Tang Dynasty.
C．In the Ming Dynasty. D．In the Qing Dynasty.
2. Why should sugar painters make the work very quickly
A．To avoid syrup becoming hard. B．To save syrup.
C．To reduce people’s waiting time. D．To show their skills.
3. Which is the right word for the place marked “________”
A．wish B．luck C．trade D．pity
4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A．Sugar painting was popular in the Qing Dynasty.
B．Sugar painters use syrup as the material to make sugar paintings.
C．Many sugar painters want to pass on the art.
D．Sugar painting has entered people’s daily lives.

In March 2025, China’s Ministry of Education announced a new rule that all high schools must follow: starting in the fall of 2025, weekends will include two full days off.
Immediately after the news was shared online, it became a hot topic for debate. Those who support the rule point out that high school students often suffer from not getting enough sleep and facing heavy stress. They believe the two-day break will not only allow teachers and students to rest properly but also encourage students to manage their own studies and stay healthy. On the other hand, critics fear that without school guidance, some students might waste their weekends. They also worry that families with more resources can hire tutors (家庭教師) to keep up with studies, while others cannot, leading to unfairness in education.
For students about to enter high school, here are practical ways to make the most of weekends: When it comes to studying, planning is key. A good start is to create a schedule on Friday evening. Saturdays can be used to finish homework and go over lessons, while Sundays should focus on preparing for new topics and improving weaker subjects. To gain more knowledge, students can read classic books for history or science magazines, and take free online courses. Writing down mistakes from the week and figuring out how to correct them is another useful habit.
For relaxation and health, getting 7-8 hours of sleep each night is necessary, and avoiding staying up late just for fun is equally important. Daily exercise, such as 30 minutes of jumping rope, keeps the body strong, and weekends offer time for team sports like basketball. Spending 2-3 hours each week on creative activities like music, drawing, or crafts can also sharpen focus and creativity. Life skills matter too. Helping at home by making shopping lists and managing money builds responsibility. Outside of school, joining volunteer work or trying out jobs related to future interests once a month adds real-world experience.
True fairness in education isn’t about rules — it’s about learning to plan your time wisely. Mastering this skill will pave the way for success both today and tomorrow.

China has a long history. Many stories are hidden in ancient books. One of these books is Shan Hai Jing. Shan Hai Jing means Classic of Mountains and Seas in English. It is a special book that tells us about the geography and culture of China before a time called the Qin Dynasty. 1 There are many Chinese myths (神話) in it.
2 And the time when it was written is uncertain. People once thought mythical figures wrote it. For a long time, figures like Yu the Great or Boyi were thought to be the writer. But today, experts have a different idea. The book wasn’t written all at once by just one person. Many people wrote different parts of the book over a long time. They started writing during a time called the Warring States. 3
Shan Hai Jing talks about many things. It mentions more than 550 mountains. It also talks about 300 waterways. There are stories of 400 mythical creatures, too. The book has about 31,000 Chinese characters. It is divided into 18 parts. 4 One story is about the Great Pangu, who created the world. There are also stories about Nvwa, who fixed the sky. Another story is about Kua Fu. He was a giant who tried to run after the sun.
5 The stories have been passed down from parents to children in China for many, many years.
