A primary school principal in north China has become the latest internet celebrity for busting some cool moves during a morning exercise routine with his students.
Every morning, 40-year-old principal Zhang Pengfei at the Xi Guan Primary School in Linyi county, Shanxi province would lead about 700 pupils on the playground in a synchronised “ghost shuffle” routine—a dance that incorporates contemporary jazz steps with heel, toe and arm movements. The bold headmaster thought the fun and energetic exercise routine would better encourage students to get active instead of “being glued to their mobile phones”.
The school’s new 30-minute dance routine has replaced the government-imposed broadcast callisthenics programme(广播体操), a short workout that has been a requirement at every primary, middle and secondary school in China since 1951. “I thought we needed a change because the students have been losing interest in doing the broadcast callisthenics routine,” Zhang told Southern Metropolis News.
The dedicated principal said he came across a group of people doing the “ghost shuffle” routine at a public plaza last summer and decided to learn the dance himself. “I thought the dance would be great for kids,” he said. “The music is full of energy and it really gets the happy feeling of flowing.” In October. he introduced the choreographed (编舞) routine to all of his students and shortly after, even teachers and staff were joining in. “Now the students aren’t constantly on their phones. I sometimes catch them watching different dance routine videos and learning new moves!” the proud headmaster told reporters.
The video quickly went around on Chinese social media, with a Weibo topic page titled “principal leads students
英语试题 第9页 共8页
in ghost dance routine” gathering 250 million views. “This is perhaps the best adaption of sport and entertainment for children.” a comment on Weibo read.

An unconventional new initiative(首创)in Canada will soon allow doctors to prescribe art to their patients — by giving them free access to a local museum. Wandering through the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA), these patients and their loved ones will be able to feast their eyes on the peaceful collections of art.
The initiative is the first of its kind in the world. And while you certainly can’t replace a conventional treatment with a couple of paintings, the idea is for such “prescriptions” to assist a person’s current treatment plan. Under the new program, members of the Francophone Association of Doctors in Canada (MFDC) will be able to hand out up to 50 prescriptions for their patients.
These prescriptions will be available for those with a wide range of mental and physical illnesses，and each of them will allow two adults and two children to visit the museum for free.
“By offering free admission to a safe，welcoming place, a relaxing experience, a moment of relief, and an opportunity to strengthen ties with loved ones, MMFA-MFDC Museum Prescriptions contribute to the patient’s well-being and recovery,” explains a news conference from the MMFA.
It may look a lot like a marketing effort for the museum but there’s also increasing evidence that the display of visual art, especially if it’s showing nature, can have positive effects on health outcomes.[来源:学。科。网]
In some ways, the benefits of looking at art appear a little similar to physical activity. A systematic review of clinical art therapy (疗法) found that visual art has significant and positive effects on depression, anxiety, mood, and self-esteem. Findings like these are slowly gaining attraction in the medical community, making artwork a higher priority (优先) in hospitals around the world.
In the US, nearly half of all health care institutions have reported including art in health care programming, such as art therapy and the placement of visual art in hospitals. With spaces dedicated (专用的) to art therapy and also a medical consultation room, the MMFA already provides services for people with mental health issues, eating disorders, and Alzheimer’s disease, just to name a few.
28. How will some Canadian doctors treat their patients?
A. Introducing fine arts to their patients.
B. Feasting them in a peaceful and welcoming place.
C. Keeping them company through the Montreal Museum.
英语试题 第9页 共8页
D. Giving them a prescription to access a local museum for free.
29. MMFA thinks the new initiative in Canada can be_______.
A. a chance to make friends B. a help with patients’ recovery
C. the best option for the treatment plan D. a substitute for conventional treatment
30. Why does the museum join in the program?
A. To strengthen ties with doctors. B. To advance the science of medicine.
C. To promote the museum into market. D. To make visual art known to the public.
31. What does the passage mainly talk about?[来源:学科网ZXXK]
A. Fine arts will take the place of medicine.
B. Artists rarely suffer from some mental diseases.
C. More than 50 prescriptions are available for patients.
D. Art will be included in Canadian doctors’ prescriptions.

The mass death of flying foxes in extreme heat in North Queensland last month underlines the importance of University of Queensland wildlife research released today. The UQ research sheds light on how various species have responded to major climate events.
A study led by UQ School of Earth and Environmental Science researcher Dr. Sean Maxwell has spent more than 70 years quantifying the responses of various species.
“The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as cyclones, droughts and floods is causing unpredictable and immediate changes to ecosystems and blocking existing management efforts,” Dr. Maxwell said. “Some of the negative responses we found were quite concerning, including more than 100 cases of dramatic population declines and 31 cases of local population extinction following an extreme event.”
“Populations of critically endangered bird species in Hawaii, such as the palia, have been annihilated due to drought, leaving none of its kind, and populations of lizard species have been wiped out due to cyclones in the Bahamas.”
Cyclones were the most common extreme event for birds, fish, plants and reptiles, while mammals and amphibians were most responsive to drought events, with drought leading to 12 cases of major population decline in mammals. Drought also led to 13 cases of breeding declines in bird populations and 12 cases of changes in the composition of invertebrate communities.
UQ Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science director Professor James Watson said the detailed information would help inform ecosystem management.
“The research clearly shows species will respond, often negatively, to extreme events,” Professor Watson said. “As climate change continues to ensure extreme climate and weather events are more and more common, we now need to act to ensure species have the best chance to survive. Wherever possible, high quality and intact habitat areas should be retained, as these are the places where species are most resilient(易恢复的) to increasing exposure to extreme events.”
32. How was the UQ research conducted?
A. By observing extreme weather events.
B. By protecting the endangered species.
C. By recording reactions of animals to extreme climate.
D. By analyzing the reason why mass animal death happened.
33. What does the underlined word “annihilated” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. destroyed. B. disappeared. C. decreased. D. defeated.
34. Which of the following sentences is true about extreme weather events?
A. Cyclones wiped out populations of lizard.
B. Birds and mammals are most responsive to cyclones.

C. Drought caused 13 cases of distinction in bird populations.
D. Drought caused 12 cases of population decline in mammals.
35. What can we infer from Professor Watson’s words?
A. Animals often show negative responses to extreme events.
B. The existing management ways for wildlife protection are limited.
C. Complete and undamaged habitats are of great importance to species’ survival.
D. Different methods should be adopted to ensure the survival of different species.

Children's Games in Ancient China
Unlike the children nowadays, the children during ancient times didn't have smart phone, iPad or computer to entertain themselves. 36 Let's take a look.
Kicking stone balls
During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to keep warm. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet.

Playing hide-and-seek
Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. 38 There are two ways to play. One way is covering a child's eyes while other kids run around to tease him. More commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.
39
The closest thing to watching a film or television for entertainment during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. Folk artists manipulate puppets behind the screen, narrating stories and accompanied by music.
Setting off firecrackers
Firecrackers have a history of more than 2,000 years. 40 And to scare off the beast, people burnt bamboo joints to make it blast. After gunpowder was invented, it gradually replaced the bamboo joint cracker. Crackers are still set off during Spring Festival to symbolize auspiciousness.

Dear David ,
How’s everything going? As your birthday is drawing near, I've prepared a gift for you. It's a Chinese painting “ bamboo”, which I specially drew for you.
In Chinese culture, bamboo carries many best wishes and excellent qualities. On one hand, it stands straight and stays green all year round, so it's always full of life. I wish you as strong and energetic as bamboo. On the other hand, it's hard outside but hollow inside. If compared to bamboo, one is usually considered to be strong-willed and modest. All in all, we use bamboo to represent a noble and gentle person.
I hope you like the gift and wish you a happy birthday.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
