Attracted by his good skills in the video, many people even fail to know that Zhang Jiacheng has only one arm. Although the young boy lost one of his arms in an accident, he became crazy about playing basketball at 12. “Work hard or just give up,” he always says.

People’s attention has encouraged him to work harder towards his goal—to become a top basketball player. “I just keep practising every day to improve myself, whether at home or in the playground,” he says, “My biggest challenge（挑战） is to control the ball much better.” After only a year of hard practicing, Zhang Jiacheng has improved his skills greatly.

Wearing sports clothes，many Chinese people will go outdoors happily with their families or friends on March 12. They are just planting trees on this special day—China’s Arbor Day (中国植树节).
When it comes to China’s Arbor Day, we can’t help thinking of Mr. Ling Daoyang. He was born in 1888. When he worked as an English teacher in Beijing, he got a chance to study forestry (林业) at Yale University. After graduating in 1914, he returned to China and became a famous expert（专家） in forestry science. In 1915, he advised that the Qingming Festival should also be China’s Arbor Day. His suggestion was welcomed by most people. In 1929, National Arbor Day was moved to March 12, the day Mr. Sun Yat-sen passed away, who did much to support forestry.
In 1979, March 12 was officially announced（正式宣布）as China's Arbor Day. Since then, thousands of trees have been planted all over China, making our country much more beautiful.
China’s Arbor Day is educational for all of us. It reminds us that we should protect our earth and thank our old generations, who planted green, hope and joy for us.
24. According to the text, people often go outdoors on March 12 to ______________.
A. do sports B. study English. C. find jobs. D. plant trees.
25. What was Ling Daoyang in Beijing then
A.A farmer. B.A student. C.A teacher. D.A worker.
26. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The studies of China's Arbor Day. B. The activities of China's Arbor Day.
C. The demands of China's Arbor Day. D. The meanings of China's Arbor Day.
C
We all need Vitamin (维生素) D because it helps to build and keep strong bones. A lack of it can lead to some bone diseases. As studies show, sunlight is great for making Vitamin D. When you’re outdoors, your body will create the Vitamin D you need from direct sunlight on your skin.
In order to get enough Vitamin D, you should get 10-30 minutes of sunlight at a time, several times a week. However, people with darker skin may need a little more time than this. Besides, your exposure (暴露) time in the sunlight should depend on how sensitive(敏感) your skin is to sunlight. Too much sunlight can be dangerous, for it may cause some bad results, including sunburn, eye damage, and skin problems. If you have to stay in the sunlight for a long time, you should be careful not to let sunlight hurt your skin, so take care to protect your skin with sunscreen before it starts to turn red.
In a word, your ability to make Vitamin D from sunlight depends on the time of day, your skin color, where you live and so on. Keep those in mind when you go out for Vitamin D from sunlight.
27. Why do people need Vitamin D according to Paragraph 1
A. To keep their hair healthy. B. To make their teeth white.
C. To make their faces pretty. D. To keep their bones strong.
28. We can infer that our body creates Vitamin D by _______________.
A. doing some exercise B. losing much weight
C. staying in the sunlight D. walking in the moonlight
29. What does the underlined word “sunscreen” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.防晒 B.防水服 C.防尘罩 D.防腐剂
30. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A story book. B. A telephone book.
C. A health magazine. D. A music magazine.
D
I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Seeing what Mother was doing, I thought that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
My mother was a kind person, who always showed her love on me in action. However, as a little girl, I only wanted heart—to—heart talks between mother and daughter. But such talks never happened. I was sad about it and often rude to her, eager to start a new life somewhere else.
When I had my own family, I came to understand mother’s love. So I wrote to mother and asked if she’d forgiven my rudeness. Then, I posted the letter and waited for her answer, but it never came. I felt disappointed and slowly didn’t care too much about it.
Years later, during mother’s final illness, she left some things for my sister and brother. “But the desk.” she said in a weak voice, “is specially for Elizabeth.” When I cleaned the desk—her present for me, I found a one-page letter inside, folded many times. It was the letter that I wrote years ago.
Then, tears came down, “Oh, dear mom, you’ve chosen the silent act to show you did forgive me and always be proud of my writing. Thank you for your silent love. I love you forever!”
31. According to the author, the most wonderful thing in the world must be the act of __________.
A. reading. B. cooking. C. writing. D. dancing.
32. What kind of communication did the little girl want
A. Arm-in-arm walks with her mother.
B. Face-to-face talks with her mother.
C. Hand-in-hand walks with her mother.
D. Heart-to-heart talks with her mother.
33. Who did the mother leave the desk for
A. Elizabeth. B. Elizabeth’s son. C. Elizabeth’s sister. D. Elizabeth’s brother.
34. How did the mother show her love on her kids
A. In words. B. In action. C. By music. D. By painting.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Silent Love. B. Brave Love. C. Selfish Love. D. Extreme Love.

Coloring books are no longer just for children! In fact adult coloring books are topping bestseller lists. Why have adults decided to start coloring again 36._______
It is to relieve stress and anxiety.
37._________They take on full-time jobs that often demand more than 40 hours a week, equally as part-time jobs, family responsibilities, and trying some “fun”when they can.

Coloring can be an escape from everyday stress.
38.__________
A trend among adults is to seek out childhood experiences. That's why summer camps adults are cropping up across the country. Perhaps nothing is more equal to childhood than a coloring book.
