    One of the easiest ways to stop the spread of disease is to simply wash your hands. Twenty seconds of hand washing with soap and water can reduce illnesses and save lives. But, many people, especially children, do not have good hand washing habits. One problem is that children do not wash their hands often enough or long enough. Children may think that it is a tiring thing to do.

    To help handle this problem, two businesswomen from India created a product to turn hand washing into a fun activity. Amanat Anand and Shubham Issar created a tool called SoaPen, aimed at teaching kids good hand washing habits and encouraging kids to wash their hands with soap properly and regularly.

    As the name suggests, SoaPen is a pen made out of soap. The children draw on their hands with the soap pen and then wash the drawing off. If they don't spend enough time washing it off, the colors will remain on the children's hands Issar said it makes sure that children take enough time to wash their hands. This may be especially helpful in a classroom. Often a teacher does not have the time to make each child wash his hands properly.

    Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time because they're a drawing on their hands. To obliterate the drawing, they wash their hands carefully instead of just going under water with a one-second wash and off. Issar and Anand stated that SoaPen to be created everywhere will help develop good habits through hand washing in the city across the globe.

The Vine(藤本植物) That Ate the South

Kudzu is a fast-growing vine that covers a large area in the southern United States. It is so common that one might think it is a native plant, but it is not. Kudzu was brought to the United States from Japan in 1876. Many Americans thought it was beautiful, and they began to plant it. They didn't know it could grow up to a foot a day during the summer months. Nor did they know it would grow up and over anything in its path.

In Japan, kudzu experienced cold winters and a short growing season. But in the United States, it has a very long growing season with warm and wet southern weather. It is fine weather for the vine to grow fast.

In the 1920s, people used the vine to feed farm animals. Ten years later, the government supported to plant kudzu because it kept soil (土壤) from washing away. However, by the 1950s, the government no longer wanted people to plant the vine. Twenty years after that, the government said it was a harmful plant.

The vine grows up trees and buildings, making some beautiful shapes. However, trees die after kudzu covers them because they cannot get enough light. Scientists are looking for ways to kill the vine. They used poisons(毒药) to kill the vine. However, some of the poisons made it grow even better. Scientists also find it difficult to dig up kudzu. The plant is really tough.

Because kudzu is so hard to kill, some people are making the best of it. So they try to find different uses for the vine. They find they can use the vine to make paper and baskets and feed the goats. People also can eat it. Scientists are studying it in the hope that they can use the vine as a medicine. At the very' least, kudzu serves as an example of the unexpected results that can come from non-native plants.

 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。

Confucius teaches us wisdom to deal with confusion, anxiety and fear. 

Confusion, worry, fear. . . Having such bad feelings is not strange to us. But how can we get through these challenges? We can find Confucius' wisdom in The Analects of Confucius

子曰:"知者不惑,仁者不忧,勇者不惧。"——《论语》

Confucius said: "The wise are free from doubts, the benevolent from anxiety, and the brave from fear. "—The Analects of Confucius

What does it mean?

Wei Shengkun is a Chinese teacher from the Affiliated High School of Peking University in Beijing. He shares that being wise, kind and brave seem simple and easily understood. However, what makes a person truly wise is questioned. 

Zhu Xi, a great thinker in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), believed that a truly wise person understand s the main rules of the world. This shows the importance of learning and thinking, because only through these can we truly become wise. Zhu also pointed out that the most important thing in life is to be kind to others and have a heart full of kindness. Such a person won't worry because their kindness helps people around them and helps themselves as well. This person will also have the courage to face the unknown, so they won't fear anything. 

In all, to overcome(克服) bad feelings, we need to start learning as soon as possible and look for the world's greatest truths. 

 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。

Zigong, in Sichuan Province, is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. 

"Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps, " said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. "Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker. " Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan's team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering, and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements. 

What's more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. "Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works, " said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people's heart. 

The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival's success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It's believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future.
