    Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother's Day, but not many know Mother's Day is actually a festival from overseas.

    Mother's Day originated(起源) in America during the early 20th century. The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted.

    Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial(孝顺的) devotion to parents. There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China. For example, the story of "Taste Liquid(液体的) Medicine for Mother" tells us the filial virtue(美德) of Emperor Wen of the Western Han dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it. Also, mother love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like "Song of the Parting Son" by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion.

On special days, people often use roses or forget-me-nots to express love. Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own for mothers—the tiger lily.

    Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.

    The story of how the song Happy Birthday to You came to be, began as a sweet one that later sourced. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at the Louisville, Kentucky Experimental Kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the headmaster of the same school, together wrote a song for the children, called Good Morning to All. As the local expert on spiritual songs, and as the organist(风琴师) for her church, Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister's knowledge in the area of Kindergarten Education, Good Morning to All was sure to be a success.

    The sisters published the song in a collection named "Song Stories of the Kindergarten" in 1893.Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University's Teacher College, a gentleman by the name of Robert H. Coleman published the song, without the sisters'permission. What was worse, he added a second verse(歌词) Happy Birthday to You.

    Mr. Coleman's addition of the second verse made the song become well known and, gradually, the sisters' original first verse disappeared. Happy Birthday to You, the one and only birthday song, had altogether replaced the sisters' original title Good Morning to All.

    After Mildred died in 1916, Patty, together with a third sister, Jessica, discussed the issue together and took Mr. Coleman to court(法庭), they proved that they, indeed, owned the melody(曲调). The court finally decided that the family legally(合法地) owns the song, whenever it is sung for commercial purposes(商业目的).

When it comes to traveling the world, it's easy to tell yourself you'll have time to do it later. There are plenty of reasons instead of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wait) for the"perfect"time. The fact is there will always be {#blank#}2{#/blank#} excuse not to travel. When you travel while you're young, you can throw yourself in head first and learn more about yourself and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you want out of life—while you still have your whole life ahead of you.

Travel is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (true) one of the best ways to learn about yourself and the world. No matter how old you are and what parts of the world you decide {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (go), there are always lessons to be learned. Why not travel young and get a head start?

Traveling is life-changing at any age, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} when young people travel, they discover more about who they want to be and how they want to show up in the world. What could be better than that?

The truth is, when you travel young, you {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (find) many other travelers are young, too. While you can still make friends as an older traveler, it's {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(easy) to connect with people your own age.

Not only does it make you look cool to your {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(friend) back home, but it also opens up endless opportunities for later in life, whether you want to study abroad, work in an international company, or travel more. You may even want to explore youth travel groups that guide you around the world while teaching you the local languages {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the same time.

Plus, life is short and unpredictable, and sometimes you really do just have to say"YOLO"and go for it.

 请认真阅读下面短文,在答题卡标有题号的横线上,填入适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

For families suffering from the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(lose) of their loved ones, grief chatbots(聊天机器人) can now help them still feel connected to the dead and find support in the digital world.

Since 2022, Super Brain, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} artificial intelligence(Al) company based in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(create) digital avatars(化身) for more than 600 families.

"Technically, digital immortality(永生) is coming... which will enable everyone to have a virtual(虚拟的) online twin," said Zhang Zewei, co-founder of the Al company.

While creating digital avatars of those who have passed away, Zhang notes that the company has also helped over 100 clients(客户) in {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(make) their virtual avatars from their digital trails(痕迹) such as emails, photos and social media posts. The prices for the services can be from thousands of yuan to 10,000 yuan.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Zhang's clients are parents missing their only child, a woman wanting to say goodbye to her boyfriend who died in an accident, and a mother wanting to "revive(复活)" her husband to comfort their daughter.

While the idea might seem strange to some, Zhang believes that because of the emotional support the technology offers, those dealing with regret and loneliness following the loss of their loved ones {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(attract) to the technology.

However, he's still {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(sure) about how much of a connect ion that technology can offer. "A chatbot has no warmth," he argued, pointing out that these avatars cannot stay up to date with the latest information.

Tech experts and psychologists are also expressing worries. Wang Qiang, a psychologist in Beijing said that these "griefbots" could make people feel like they have a real emotional connect ion with the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(die). But in fact, it could make people feel emotionally and mentally {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(bad), making it {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(challenge) for them to move on.

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey(金丝猴) is a special kind of monkey that mainly lives high up in the mountains in China, Vietnam and Burma. They have a flat nose that points up, which is really two nostrils(鼻孔). This helps them breathe well in the thin air up high in the mountains. Their fur is golden and very thick, which not only keeps them warm in the cold mountain weather but also helps them go well with their forest homes.

These monkeys like to live together in groups with a big, strong male monkey as their leader. The leader protects the group and guides them to food. They communicate with each other through sounds and body movements.

Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys spend most of their time in the trees. They love to climb trees and jump from branch to branch. They are very good at moving around in the trees. They eat mostly plants like leaves and fruits, but they also eat insects and small animals when available. Sadly, these animals are not common to see because of human activities. Many trees are cut down every year. We need to help protect these monkeys and their homes.

These monkeys are very beautiful and important for the mountains. They are a symbol of nature's beauty and a reminder of our duty to protect the environment. By learning about them and helping to keep their homes safe, we can make sure that people in the future can also see these wonderful animals that live in the mountains.
