1、阅读下面短文,将划线部分译成英文或中文。
In July, China introduced the “double reduction (双减)” policy. One month has passed since the new semester began. How do students feel about this new policy?
“Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “1. We are not required to take many examinations any more, and the exercises are mostly from the textbook.” According to Shen, teachers now teach at a much slower pace (节奏). Students have enough time to process new knowledge. 2. “Our teachers are also giving us more time to find the secret to learning by ourselves.” said Shen. “For example, we went to research earthworms (蚯蚓) in a field during a biology class. 3. This is a better way to learn things than just hitting the books.” Hitting the books means you are studying hard, which used to be a popular way to get good grades.
For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. 4. “通过参加各种俱乐部,我们能学到更多。 I have joined a group called ‘leadership development’(领导力发展) where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond academic (学业的) study,” said Zhang.
They also pointed out that now self-discipline (自律) becomes the secret to learning. “After finishing homework, 5. 一些学生花更多时间放松自己。” But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind your peers (同龄人),” he said.

Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily,I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl,I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk round in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now,I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere,I would say, "Sorry, I am a stranger here."
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.

As red as chicken blood, the chicken-blood stone is one of the most costly ornamental (装饰用的) materials in China. With its b【1】 red color and jade-like texture (质地), it has been used for centuries to create carved works.
Changhua in Zhejiang is one of the producing areas of such stones. The stones were created by volcanic activity 75 million years ago. S【2】 the Ming Dynasty, local people have been using chicken-blood stones to carve all kinds of things in different s【3】 and sizes.
In 2008, the chicken-blood stone carving was a【4】 to the national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. It not only records geological (地质的) changes, but is also a cultural relic that shows people’s lives of different times. For Chinese people, the carving’s red color also means j【5】, success and good luck.
Craftsman Qian Gaochao, 67, and his son, s【6】 more than six months making three “chicken-blood” stone carvings showing the taekwondo and wrestling competitions for the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou.

According to Qian, the content and themes he chooses for carvings keep up with and show the style of the times. “I’m not only doing carving work, but also r【8】 the development and changes of our society, and remembering the important events through my carvings,” he said.
Qian has created fascinating works, many of which are related to important events in Chinese history, i【9】 the Zunyi Conference in January 1935. He has also done work to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
Qian hopes the technique can be learned by more people so that it can be passed down. “We are looking for qualified people to continue to inherit and develop these traditional skills. At the same time, we also hold research activities and provide training courses, a【10】 more young students to understand and learn Chinese traditional culture.” he said.
