He ran back but missed the train. It was getting late and he decided to spend the night at the station. The next morning he asked about the next train. He came to know that the next train was on the other day. So he decided to find a place for a day’s stay. It was getting dark and he could not find a place near the station.
At last he reached a small village. He asked a villager if he could stay in his house for a night. The villager agreed. The villager cooked him food and offered him a room to stay.

Rowing (划船) is a good sport for people. The sport is not so commonly played in China, but almost half of all American high schools have rowing teams. Recently, the school where I study had a rowing season that gave me many great experiences.
During the season, we practised rowing a lot. We got up at six every Saturday morning and practised for three hours on the river. Each of us had an oar (桨), and we each rowed one oar with both hands. Together we pulled the oars, and the oars pushed the water back so the boat would move forward. After three hours of practice, we often felt very tired, because rowing is a very physical sport. When you row, you do a lot of work with your thighs (大腿) back.
Though the practice was very hard, I chose to do it because I like the joy hard work brings. At the practice, I always did my best. Even when the coaches were not there, I kept rowing hard with my hands because I wanted to find out how well I could do. In order to move the boat fast, everyone on the team must keep the same pace, so we needed to work together.
The hard work I did during the rowing helped me develop my teamwork qualities (质量). The experience also taught me that if you want to get something, you need to pay something first. As Americans like to say, “No pains, no gains”!

A new rubbish sorting (分类) system has been put into use in Fangchengyuan Community in Beijing. Local people not only sort their rubbish, but also put QR codes (二维码) on it.
“When the rubbish is collected and the codes are seen, I will get reward points (积分) to exchange for small gifts and even some money.” One of the local people told reporters. It’s really creative and encouraging.
This smart system has been carried out in 350 communities in Beijing. The capital of China has joined a list of cities in the country that take action to support rubbish sorting. For example, Shenzhen and Shanghai have made laws to punish people and organizations for not sorting rubbish correctly.
China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year. Much of the rubbish is buried (填埋) in soil or burned without being sorted. Landfills (填埋场) take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby. And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases. Through rubbish sorting, we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution.
What’s more, rubbish sorting saves resources which could bring economic benefits (经济利益). For example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850 kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50 percent water. Because of their benefits, some countries have developed successful sorting systems.
Japan has a strict and detailed system. When people throw away a water bottle, the cap (瓶盖), the wrapper (包装纸) and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins. Every year, families receive special rubbish sorting timetables and directions from their local governments. They are advised to follow the timetables and directions when they throw away rubbish.
In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins -- the red lid (盖子) bin for “general” waste like food and plastic bags, the yellow lid bin for recycling like steel and glass, and the green lid bin for green waste such as grass and leaves. On the streets, the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside. It makes recycling quite easy.

A. Polluting soil. B. Polluting water.
C. Taking up a lot of land. D. Saving resources.
68. Which paragraph discusses the economic benefits of rubbish sorting

69. In Australia, which bin should you put food left after dinner in
A. The red lid bin. B. The yellow lid bin. C. The green lid bin. D. The black lid bin.
70. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A. In Australia, the green lid bin is used for all kinds of recyclable (可回收的) wastes.

Amelia Earhart was born in America in 1897. As a little girl, she could climb trees and catch rats. When she was seven years old, she discovered she was interested in flying. In 1920, Amelia took a plane and knew she had to fly! Just days after that, she took her first flying lesson. Six months later, she bought her own plane.
On June 18, 1928, Amelia became world-famous because she flew across the Atlantic with others as the first woman. And then she was called the “Queen of the Air”.
Although Amelia was well-known in the flight, she never stopped practicing. In 1932, she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic by herself, and later in 1935, she was the first person to fly over the Pacific from Hawaii to California by herself.
When her 40th birthday was coming, Amelia prepared for her biggest challenge -- an around-the-world flight. On June 1st, 1937, she began her 46,671 kilometers flight. Something unlucky happened on June 29. She never came back again. However, her name still lives on till now.

书面表达范文：
I have been to many different cities with my family. Among all these cities, my favourite city is Guilin. I like it because it is a beautiful city. And there is much delicious food.
There were lots of things to do in Guilin. I visited the Elephant Chulk Hill and had a boat trip on the Li River. I took many beautiful photos. My friend introduced me to taste the Guilin rice noodles. It is delicious! If you want to go to Guilin, you’d better go there in autumn. It is cool at that time. And remember to take some warm clothes, because it may be cold at night.
I want to visit Guilin again. And I hope you will like it too.
