In the Tang Dynasty,jiaodi was part of military training and a kind of entrainment and athletic sports.

formal polo courts,such as the stadium pavilion in Chang'an palace.
Archery
During ancient times,the origin of archery was closely related with hunting and defense.Ancient archery was not only an athletic event,a military training program, and an entertainment activity,but also part of education.As early as in Zhou Dynasty, the archery was listed as one of the six practical disciplines,also called the Six Arts, becoming an important and competitive form.

One Moore Elementary School teacher is showing students the importance of communication through"shout-outs".
The third-grade teacher Lindsey Winders said a shout-out is a compliment(称赞) that students can say or write down."Like,'Hey,I noticed you doing a really great job solving your maths problems yesterday.I wanted to make sure you know that I saw you do that,'"Winders said.
Winders said she makes sure she is giving shout-outs to her students every day."I might write them a sticky note,or write them a quick little note in their planner.I might just say it to them on their way into the classroom or on their way out of the classroom.But most importantly,I try to do it every day,"Winders said.
In addition to the compliments,Winders has the students greet each other every morning during the morning meeting.She will have students give examples to the class of how to communicate in different settings(场景).A third-grade student Nayelli Moranchel said she had given at least six shout-outs this year."It makes me happy,because they always write something back,"Moranchel said.
Recently,Winders took it one step further and wrote a personalised note on each of her students'desks."In our classroom,sometimes it can be challenging for me to give
a compliment or a shout-out to each and every one of them in a way that is equal and valuable at the same time.So I decide that there is no better way than leaving a note on their desks that can stay for as long as they want it to,"Winders said.
Winders said it is encouraging when she sees her students copy the act and give each other compliments without her guidance.
4.What does the underlined word"that"in Paragraph2mean?
A.Giving a shout-out.
B.Solving maths problems.
C.Teaching important lessons.
D.Writing down the names of students.
5.How does Winders show her students the importance of compliments?

B.By making practical plans for them.
C.By serving as a daily example herself.
D.By greeting them during the morning meeting.
6.What is the best way that Winders finds to give her students compliments?
A.Leaving a note on each student's desk.
B.Praising them as long as they want it.
C.Explaining the value of compliments.
D.Giving them shout-outs at the same time.
7.What can we infer about Winder's way of praising students?
A.It is very successful.
B.It is facing challenges.
C.It needs proper guidance.
D.It is copied by other teachers.

The livestreaming and fast delivery industry have attracted so many young people that the industrial sector is short of manpower.“My advice is to encourage more young people to work in the factories and less in the express delivery sector,”Zhang Xinghai,a deputy to the National People’s Congress,China’s top legislature,said during the ongoing NPC annual session.
Zhang wants more young people to work in the factories so that China’s manufacturing(制造业)sector continues to flourish.
Whatever job young people do is a matter of choice,but the manufacturing sector is facing a labor crunch(短缺)for too many people prefer jobs in other sectors.
A survey conducted by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security in the third quarter of2021found that of100jobs that were facing a manpower crunch,58 were in the manufacturing sector.By2025,the shortage in10key manufacturing industries could be as high as30million.
It is time some strong measures were taken to attract people back to the factories.
This can be done by raising the salaries of factory workers.
According to a survey in Guangzhou,capital of Guangdong province,the annual income of express delivery workers in the city is more than100,000yuan($15,831). In contrast,the average monthly salary of those doing blue-collar jobs in Guangdong in2020was just7,108yuan,or about84,000yuan a year.That gap surely needs to be reduced.
Besides,the legal rights and interests of those doing blue-collar jobs need to be better protected.Express delivery workers can decide when they want to work,but factory workers have to work whenever the factory demands.
Therefore,the authorities should protect factory workers’rights to weekends, 8-hour working schedules and paid leave.
Also,the promotion and salary growth structure of factory workers must be clearly defined.In a nutshell,to lure young people back to the factories,it is necessary to make blue-collar jobs more attractive.
8.What can we infer from Zhang Xinghai’s words?
A.The future of the express delivery sector is hopeless.
B.Working in factories in China are attractive to young people.
C.Most young people are unwilling to work in the manufacturing sector.
D.Working as a delivery man is quite easy for young people.
9.What does Paragraph4mainly tell us?
A.A lot of jobs in China are facing a labor crunch.
B.Employment rate in China will be dramatically increased by2025.
C.There are10manufacturing industries facing manpower shortage in total.
D.The industrial sector is facing a severe labor shortage.
10.Which is NOT the reason for manpower shortage in factories?
A.Flexible working hours.
B.Lower incomes.
C.Undefined promotion structure.
D.Unprotected legal rights.
11.What is the author’s attitude towards the current situation of manufacturing industry?
A.Indifferent.
B.Concerned.
C.Unclear.
D.Neutral.

A team of engineers at Harvard University is trying to create the first robotic fly. Designed to do what a fly does naturally,the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its
components(部件)is off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,”said Robert Wood,a Harvard engineering professor.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly.“The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependences(相互依赖)on the individual components,each of which individually has to perform well,but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,”said Wood.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small off-board power source,the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source,so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites,in farmers’fields or on the battlefield.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale.Yet,the power,sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications.“You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions,you know,to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals,but using these robots instead,he said.So there are a lot on technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on
a day to day basis.”
12.What is the typical characteristic of the robotic fly?
A.It’s automatic.
B.It’s quite powerful.
C.It’s controllable.
D.It’s very small.
13.We can infer from the passage that the robotic flyer can.
A.help do farm work
B.act as a spy plane
C.fly at a very high speed
D.answer many scientific questions
14.What is Wood’s idea about the robotic fly according to the last paragraph?
A.It has wide practical applications.
B.It is highly questionable.
C.It gives scientists interest in flying machines.
D.It points to a new direction in studying biology.
15.What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Harvard’s Study in the Field of Insects
B.Robotic Fly—a Copy of Real Life Insect
C.An Interesting Invention—Robotic Fly
D.A Breakthrough in Engineering Science
