In March, the small city received about 4.8 million tourists. It is certainly not the only city that offers barbecue, or even the most famous one, but its seemingly sudden fame was steps in the making.Zhou Maosong, president of the Zibo Tourism Promotion Association said the popularity started from the crowd-gathering effect of cultural and tourism activities including a music festival. Then famous people tasted the barbecue and put their experiences online attracting young people, which led to a wave of students from neighbouring cities visiting Zibo. What better way to lure adventurous and hungry college students other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full within only 50 yuan!” However, Zibo did not fall into the trap (陷阱) of easy fame that dies fast where sellers cheat buyers on price and quality for the most profit (盈利) in the shortest time. A blogger on Douyin took an electronic scale (电子秤) to ten barbecue stands in Ziboto test if he would be offered less food. It turned out that not a single one was caught short of weight and some owners even offered him local snacks for free. Local people’s honest and friendly behaviour touched even more people online and again lifted the city’s popularity.Zibo’s successful story has inspired governments in other parts of the country to find their ways of supporting local businesses.19．What does the underlined word “lure” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Attract.B．Challenge.C．Follow.D．Organize.20．What are the other reasons for Zibo’s popularity besides the crowd-gathering effect?①Famous people’s recommendation.②Barbecue at low prices.③Support from neighbouring cities.④Local people’s kindness.A．①②③B．②③④C．①②④D．①③④21．Where is the passage probably taken from?A．A science fiction.B．A travel guide.C．A food advertisement.D．A news report.06（2023·山东日照·日照市新营中学校考三模）The common problem of myopia (近视) among students has been a big challenge for China to deal with for many years. According to reports, about 35.6 percent of primary school students and nearly 81 percent of senior high school students are nearsighted (近视的) in China.Considering this background, Wantang Primary School in Yunnan province really stands out. This is because none of the students at this school suffer from myopia. Parents, teachers and eye experts began discussing whether the school’s experience can be used to tackle the rising level of myopia across China.Yang Chenhao is a doctor at the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University. He said that while the school is a special case, some of its methods are highly worth learning, such as keeping children away from mobile phones and getting them outdoors more often.Yang Qingyi is a teacher at the school, which has 536 students. He said that all children are required to go outside during class breaks. “Even for quiet kids, we encourage them to take a walk outside,” he said. When the three sports teachers there are busy, teachers of other subjects will work as trainers to teach basketball and table tennis.“If there is one piece of advice that we can share on achieving zero myopia, I would say large amounts of outdoor activities,” said Sun Fubiao, the primary school’s headmaster. Sun said that a number of his students’ parents are working in other areas, so the school has fixed six public phones while not allowing use of personal mobile phones.“In teacher-parent WeChat groups, we often remind parents to pay attention to kids’ eye health when they are at home for weekends or vacations,” he added.22．How is the first paragraph organized?A．By listing numbers.B．By telling stories.C．By giving examples.D．By comparing facts.23．What does the underlined word “tackle” probably mean in Chinese?A．解释B．应对C．提升D．保持24．What can we know from Yang Chenhao’s words?A．Doctors should work with primary schools.B．Wantang Primary School is worth learning in some ways.C．Children should not use a mobile phone.D．Parents should pay more attention to their kids.25．What is the most important way to achieve zero myopia according to Sun Fubiao?A．Less time of learning at school.B．Fixing enough public phones.C．Much time of outside activities.D．Working with kids’ parents.参考答案：1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B【导语】本文主要介绍了美团推出的无人机送餐服务，包括其操作流程、研发过程及发展前景。

Empty Nests without Loneliness(让空巢老人不再孤独)
Empty Nests without LonelinessWith the rapid growth in the economy and the influential status in the world, China has become the envy of many countries. However, some problems have occurred during the process of modernization. Due to the acceleration of an aging population and the transience of it, the problem of empty nesters has now come into the spotlight.I still remember my parents’ feeling when taking me to college. They have got used to living with me, so They felt kind of depressed knowing that they would not see me every day in the following four or more years. I can sense their contradictory feelings. On the one hand, they don’t want to be empty nesters, on the other, they are gratified that I can go on with my further study and work hard for a better future.Children should make their efforts to help the empty nesters overcome their loneliness. First of all, young people should be reminded of their parents who have sacrificed so much during the process of bringing them up. They should try their best to care and communicate with their parents. Easing the feeling of solitude and enriching their parents’ material life at the same time are vital to solving the problem. Second, young people can help their parents to find other interests and establish new identities for their parents. What’s more, to ease the worry of parents, children should learn to be independent. If they are able to live a meaningful life, it can be of help to satisfy their parents. Last but not the least, children should share their life and feelings with parents and let them know their children are caring about them.Of course, solving this problem is not only the duty of children. Only when people from different walks of life are actively involved and take immediate action can we really alleviate the pain and remove the sorrow of them. If we can take measures, I think the future will be bright.。

关于空巢老人的英语作文
关于空巢老人的英语作文Empty Nesters。
With the development of society, empty nesters have become a common phenomenon in China. Empty nesters refer to elderly people whose children have grown up and left home for work or study, leaving them alone in their homes. The issue of empty nesters has become a social concern, as it affects not only the elderly but also their families and society as a whole.The problem of empty nesters is becoming increasingly serious due to the aging population in China. As a result of the one-child policy, many families have only one child, who is responsible for taking care of their parents when they get old. However, with the rapid development of the economy, young people are leaving their hometowns to pursue better job opportunities in big cities, leaving their parents behind. This has resulted in a large number of empty nesters who feel lonely and isolated.The loneliness and isolation felt by empty nesters can lead to a range of physical and mental health problems. Many empty nesters suffer from depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues, which can lead to a decline in their overall health. Additionally, empty nesters are more vulnerable to accidents and illnesses, as they often lack the support and care of their families.To address the issue of empty nesters, the government and society need to take action. Firstly, the government should provide more support for the elderly, such as increasing pensions and improving healthcare services. Secondly, society should encourage young people to return to their hometowns and take care of their parents. Finally, community organizations should be established to provide social activities and support for empty nesters, helping them to feel less lonely and isolated.In conclusion, the issue of empty nesters is a complex social problem that requires the joint efforts of the government, society, and individuals to solve. By providingmore support and care for the elderly, we can create a more harmonious and caring society.。
新编大学英语综合教程4第六单元课文总结
新编大学英语综合教程4第六单元课文总结Once upon a time, technology, we thought, would make our lives easier. Machines were expected to do our work for us, leaving us with ever-increasing quantities of time to waste away on idleness and pleasure.从前，我们以为技术发展会使我们的生活变得更安逸。
那时我们觉得机器会替代我们工作，我们则有越来越多的时间休闲娱乐。
But instead of liberating us, technology has enslaved us. Innovations are occurring at a bewildering rate: as many now arrive in a year as once arrived in a millennium. And as each invention arrives, it eats further into our time.但技术发展没有把我们解放出来，而是使我们成为奴隶。
新技术纷至沓来，令人目不暇接：一年涌现的技术创新相当于以前一千年。
而每一项新发明问世，就进一步吞噬我们的光阴。
The motorcar, for example, promised unimaginable levels of personal mobility. But now, traffic in cities moves more slowly than it did in the days of the horse-drawn carriage, and we waste our lives stuck in traffic jams.比如，汽车曾使我们希望个人出行会方便得让人难以想象。

This emotional void can lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.Moreover, empty nesters are also at risk of physical health problems. Living alone can lead to unhealthy eating habits, lack of exercise, and neglect of medical care. Without the daily care and supervision of their children, they may be unaware of developing health issues or unable to seek timely medical attention.Additionally, social isolation can make empty nesters vulnerable to fraud and abuse. They may be targeted by unscrupulous individuals who prey on their loneliness and vulnerability, offering bogus services or taking advantage of their confusion.To address these issues, several solutions can be implemented. Firstly, families should make an effort to maintain regular contact with their elderly parents. Phone calls, video chats, and visits can help ease their loneliness and ensure they feel cared for. Encouraging them to participate in social activities and community events can also help them build new friendships and feel more connected.Secondly, communities should create support systems for empty nesters. This can include providing transportation services, establishing senior centers where they can gather and socialize, and offering health check-up programs tailored to their needs. Community volunteers can also provide assistance with daily tasks like shopping, cooking, and cleaning.Moreover, government policies should prioritize the welfare of empty nesters. This includes providing financial support for healthcare, home care services, and elderlycare facilities. Encouraging the development of age-friendly communities and promoting intergenerational programs can also foster a more inclusive society that values and respects its older members.In conclusion, the social issue of empty nesters is a complex one that requires a multifaceted approach. By fostering family connections, building community support systems, and implementing government policies, we canensure that empty nesters are not left behind and can enjoy a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life.**空巢老人的社会问题及措施**在当今快节奏的社会中，一个越来越普遍的现象是“空巢老人”的出现——他们的子女已经长大并搬出去后，独自或与配偶生活的老年人。

Besides, we can arouse parents to do some activities, such as playing chess, drawing pictures and so on to enjoy their old years. Consequantly, they will feel less lonliness without our absence.If we visit parents frequatly, care more about them, I believe the world will be full of harmonious atmosphere with love.。
空巢青年英文作文
空巢青年英文作文英文：As a young adult who has left home, I often find myself in the category of "empty nesters," or those who have left their childhood homes and are living on their own. While this can be an exciting time of independence and exploration, it can also be a lonely and challenging experience.One of the biggest challenges of being an empty nester is the lack of support and guidance that comes with living on your own. Without the constant presence of parents or siblings, it can be difficult to navigate the challenges of adulthood, such as managing finances, finding a job, and maintaining a social life.Another challenge is the feeling of isolation that can come with living alone. While it's important to have alone time and enjoy your own company, it's also important tohave a support system and a sense of community. This can be especially difficult for those who have moved to a new city or are living in a new environment.Despite these challenges, being an empty nester can also be a time of great growth and self-discovery. Living on your own allows you to develop your own sense ofidentity and independence, and can be an opportunity to explore your passions and interests without the influence of others.Overall, being an empty nester is a complex experience with both challenges and opportunities. It's important to find a balance between independence and support, and to remember that it's okay to ask for help when needed.中文：作为一个离开家的年轻人，我经常发现自己处于“空巢青年”的范畴，也就是离开了童年家庭并独立生活的人。
