    Lasers(激光) have many uses including improving someone's eyesight, playing DVDs, cutting the diamonds(钻石) and the list goes on and on. Now, there could be a new use for this powerful tool-changing the weather!

    The Swiss scientist Jean Pierre Wolf is working on using laser beams(激光束) to change the weather for the better. He wants to use it to help stop climate(气候) change. Sounds crazy, right? Well, there is already something kind of like it.

    Cloud seeding(云催化) is a way people stop rain from falling. It uses rockets to release chemicals into the atmosphere(大气层), but it's not known what this might do to the environment. So Professor Wolf wants to find a better way to do this, and a laser is a good choice since the only thing it uses is light, not chemicals. But how would it work? According to CNN, it would make new clouds. The laser would make condensation(冷凝) happen, in other words producing drops of water. And then the water would turn into really small pieces of ice. Then clouds start to be made just naturally.

    Professor Wolf's hope is to help control the weather in places like California that can face both heavy floods and droughts(干旱).They are also trying to use lasers to control lightning. Using lasers to change the weather has been tested in a lab, and they have been quite successful in some fields. They are still trying to find out how to use it in the real world, but it could be a new way to stop climate change. "Every time you think you have done everything you can with lasers, something new comes up," said Professor Wolf. "It's quite amazing."

 Do you like music? If you do, you can go to Harbin, a music city(城市) in China.

 In Harbin, you can see people playing music everywhere. They are in the park, in the street and in the music center. Some people play the violin, some people play the guitar and some people play the erhu.

____ But when they go to Harbin Music Museum, they' ll find it's also a music city. In the museum, people can watch great music shows. Some musicians in the shows play the violin and the piano. Some musicians(音乐家) in the shows play Chinese traditional instruments, like the erhu and the gehu. They show the stories of Chinese and Western (西方的) music to people together.

 People in Harbin are also good at singing and dancing. Many singers and musicians from other countries go to Harbin and live there. They sing, dance and play music with the people in Harbin.A lot of Chinese musicians go to Harbin, too. And lots of students also go there to learn music. These music lovers make Harhin a music city.

Do you know Harbin Summer Music Concert? The 36th Harbin Summer Music Concert opened (开幕) on August 6th,2023. It lasted (持续)42 days. In fact, there is Harbin Summer Music Concert for people every two years. Do you love it? Why not go to Harbin?

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

A marathon is a long running race of 42.195kilometres. The first Olympic Marathon was held     in Athens. Now, many cities host their own marathons every year. Some of the well-known marathons around the world are the New York City Marathon, the Boston Marathon and the Tokyo Marathon. Among them. the Boston Marathon is the oldest yearly Marathon in the world. As time goes by, the sport has become more than just a race.

 Themes(主 题 ) make marathons fun and meaning. Runners run for helping sick kids, memorizing important events, or just enjoying nature. A famous marathon in Gisborne, New Zealand, is known for being the first city in the world to welcome the sunlight every day. Runners can greet the sunrise as they run along the golden sandy beaches.

 Marathon routes(线路) let people know more about this old sport. Some routes are very challenging for runners. Runners of all skill levels can sweat(流汗) freely and push their limits(极限). Some routes are well planned for runners to explore the many sides of a city. For example, the route of the Great Wall Marathon takes the runners along the great wonder of the world. In fact, it's also a chance to get to know Beijing, its people and local culture.

A marathon is quite a journey for runners to enjoy the run, challenge themselves and experience     the culture. There is so much more behind the race for us to explore.
