A medical breakthrough in China is giving new hope to people with spinal cord injuries(脊髓损伤).Scientists have created a brain-spinal chip(芯片)that allows paralyzed(瘫痪的)patients to move their legs,and even walk again.
The chip, only 1mm wide, is designed to be fitted into the brain and spinal cord. If the natural communication between the brain and muscles(肌肉)is lost, this chip becomes
the bridge. When the chips work,they create a direct connection between the brain and
muscles.
The results have been amazing. A 34-year-old man, paralyzed after a fall, could move his legs just one day after the operation on January 8, 2025. Two weeks later, he walked five meters with help. Three other patients had similar operations in February and March, all getting better within weeks. Even though the patients' nervous systems were damaged(受损),the chips helped them walk again This marks a big step in China's progress in medical science and it brings hope tor over 3.7 milhon people in China.
"This is just the beginnung,"' Jia, the lead researcher, says. "With the technology, these people may one day leave wheelchairs behind after 3 to 5 years of training."
Behind this achievement is a long journey of careful research and bold thinking. It took the researchers over 10 years to develop the chip. They tested it on animals first, and
then on people. They faced many challenges,yet they never gave up. Step by step, they
developed a system to reconnect the mind and body in ways once appearing only in science
fiction.
As the chip continues to improve, it lights a new path forward-one built on science,
shaped by care, and aimed toward-a brighter future.
26. What do we know about the chips mentioned in the passage?.
A. They are only as wide as 2 mm.B. They are fitted into the man's arms.
C. They help the patients walk again.D. They improve the patients' memory.

Are "wuxia" novels still a hit?
Peng Jiqi,16:YES!
I started to read wuxia novels when I was in Grade 3 because my parents spent a lot of time on them and tried to get these books in different ways,which they considered as treasure of them.More importantly, they often told me stories about heroes in Jin Yong's works, which made me interested in. When I picked one up, I couldn't stop reading because the plots(情节)are just full of colors. Just as the saying goes, what we read makes us who we are.
Peng Zihao,15:YES!
I began to read wuxia novels last winter vacation and was soon fascinated (着迷) by the brave adventures(冒险)of the characters created by Jin Yong. I'd imagine myself competing with others at the top of Mount Hua.These have given me long-lasting
fun memories. Times may change, but chivalrousness (义) won't. Wuxia novels,showing the kindness and courage of humans,will never die.
Li Chonglin,16:NO!
I like reading sci-fi (科幻) novels better than wuxia ones. Although I have read
many wuxia novels like The Legend of the Condor Heroes(《射雕英雄传》),sci-fi novels
suit me more. Nuxia novels have interesting plots and vivid characters, but they give
me a feeling that they belong to an old time. In wuxia novels, the mnain characters are
always the strongest and sometimes the stories are too far away from us.
Wen Zifan,17:NO!
I always say no to wuxia novels because they are full of silly fights. What I am interested in are suspense(悬疑)novels, especially the series of the medical examiner(法医),Dr Qin. Since I dream of being a medical examiner in the future, those stories are a good way for me to know something about the amazing job. Every time I read these novels, it's totally a pleasant time for me. In short, it seems true that wuxia novels will disappear in recent years.For our new generation, many of us will choose other Linds of novels
