Ne Zha, which officially opened in cinemas in China, has got rave reviews and is rated higher than Monkey King: Hero Is Back. It is also China's first 3D animated (动画的) feature movie with the IMAX format (格式).

    Since July 13, previews of the movie have taken more than 140 million yuan at the box office and the movie has a score of 8. 8 points (out of 10) on China's largest filming rating site (评分网站) , Douban.

    Ne Zha has more than 1, 300 special effects shots, and it took over 20 Chinese special-effects studios, employing more than 1,600 people. It took Yang Yu, 39, the movie's director and screenwriter, two years to complete it, and the movie was in production for three years. It is the most complex animated production ever made in China. In Yang's movie he is fighting against prejudice (偏见) : Ne Zha is hated and feared all the time. But Ne Zha believes his fate is not predetermined (预先确定的) and that he can choose to be a demon or a god.

     "After watching so many domestic animated movies, only Ne Zha and Monkey King: Hero Is Back have made me shang tou (obsessed or fascinated) ," a Weibo user commented under the promotional video. "I couldn't believe a domestic animated movie can be created with such a well-developed story. I'm sure Ne Zha is going viral (走红) this summer!" reads another comment on Douban.

    Imagine one day, the water taps in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there {#blank#}1{#/blank#}water for everyone. Your mother has to save the family's shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?

    Probably not. But that's what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}a report, the capital, Sana'a, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.

    Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, an 18-year-old girl from Lahej, told the Times: "In a good week we'll have the water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for {#blank#}3{#/blank#}."

    Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private companies own the trucks. They {#blank#}4{#/blank#}every day to sell water—at very high prices. "A lot of people can't afford it," she said.

    The government is {#blank#}5{#/blank#}making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.

As a competitive sport with great fitness value, Wushu has spread {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(wide) across the world. Bruce Lee helped make Wushu world-famous. Thanks to him, the word "kung fu" appeared in many foreign language dictionaries. Many Chinese have set up Wushu schools outside China, providing people {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the chance to experience the fantastic sport. During the Hangzhou Asian Games in 2023, more people were able {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(enjoy) the beauty of Wushu.

 Every April, there is a special day in China. It is the Qingming Festival, also called Tomb- sweeping Day. On that day, people{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (记念) their ancestors(祖先). The Qingming Festival is a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (传统) Chinese festival. It has a long history. It began over 2,000 years ago. A famous poem{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.(由) Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu describes the day, " Rain falls heavily as Qingming comes, and passers- by(行人) with low spirits go."

 Tomb- sweeping Day has been a public {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (假日) in China since 2008. On this day, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (家), bring flowers and food to their ancestors' tombs. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（在"之后) they put food like cakes and fruits in front of the tombs, they sweep the dirt off the tombs and remember their dead family members. Why do Chinese people do this? That's because people think that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (拜访) , bombs is to show respect to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (他们) dead family members.

{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (然而), Tomb- sweeping Day is not only about this. Families often {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (根案) together for hiking or flying kites at this time.

"Am I an'I' person or an'E' person?" It is a popular topic among young people around China today. Many people are crazy about it so that they take a personality test named Myers-Briggs test to find out the answer.

Many people find the MBTI ( Myers-Briggs Test Indicator) useful. It groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter"I" or"E", such as"ENTJ, INFP" or more. "E" is short for"Extroversion" while"I" is for"Introversion". After testing, some say, "I'm extroverted, I should go to parties and make friends," while others think, "I'm introverted, I prefer working alone, maybeI' ll be a writer someday." They believe knowing their type can help them make quicker choices about activities, careers, and life paths.

However, there are some problems with the test. Some get different results when they retake it, and some find it hard to answer certain questions. For example, "I like watching TV alone, but I also enjoy hanging out with friends. Am I an'I' or an'E'?"

 When you take a personality test, you may think, "Oh, that's me." That's because the descriptions are generic. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over50% of people get a different score when they retook the MBTI just five weeks later. Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white, scientists say. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older. Or, you can be both an"I" and an"E". Don't label(贴标签) yourself! Studies have also shown that the test is not real at telling people's success in different jobs. So, don't take it too seriously.
