Two years ago, I went to Taiwan, along with my family. Taiwan, China's biggest island, lies in southeastern China. It's separated from the Chinese mainland by the Taiwan Strait.
On the trip, we visited the beautiful Sun Moon Lake. ① Standing in a cable car (缆车), I looked down at the scenery below. It looked as if it had been made by a great master. ② The clear water and beautiful forests made me feel as if I were in heaven. ③ Many famous works were on display there. When I was walking along the hall, the unpleasant history of our country passed through my mind. ④ As the Chinese saying goes: " Falling behind will suffer beating." I realized the great importance of self-improvement.
Taiwan is rich in nature. There are not only lovely animals, but also delicious fruits, such as pineapples, wax apples (莲雾), and many more. I ate much fruit every day during my stay there.
As for the local people, they were very friendly. Take my personal experience as a real example: I bought a T-shirt as a gift for my father without telling him. But the size wasn't suitable. I didn't know what to do. I called the mall hopelessly. To my surprise, the salesman listened to me patiently and told me that he could help me to change the size and send it back to our hotel as long as I could return the other one to him. His warm voice is still in my mind.
Anyone who visits this island for the first time will fall in love with it right away. If you aren't sure about where to take a vacation, Taiwan should be at the top of your list.

A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④

A. A Visit to Taiwan B. Wonderful Trips C. Shopping in Taiwan D. Seasons in Taiwan

Zhao Pei, 15, Zhejiang Huangmei Opera is my favorite kind of art. It's a cultural treasure(财富) of the Chinese nation. I don't have any singing skills myself, but I do enjoy listening to it. Huangmei Opera's songs are soft and beautiful. Its stories are lively. What's more, its costumes that performers wear are beautiful and the philosophy(哲理) within its stories is true. However, Huangmei Opera is less popular than it used to be. Fewer people are willing to watch it. I hope more people will understand and love it in the future. This cultural heritage(遗产) needs to be passed on from generation(一代人) to generation.
Hu Xinyue, 13, Guangdong Out of all sports, I like table tennis best. I think it is not only a sport, but also an art form(形式). It is a culture of China. It's a game that needs both strength(力量) and skill. To most people, table tennis doesn't take strength. That's not true. When we play table tennis, we need to judge(判断) the direction and hit the ball with great strength in order to beat our opponent(对手). After a match, you will feel very tired if you have tried your best. The ball moves very quickly during matches. And if you watch professional(专业的) play, you'll notice that the players' movements(动作) are beautiful. Playing table tennis can not only help build up our bodies, but also train our brains. Even though I'm not good at it, I'm quite confident that I can get better.

A. hands B. brains C. eyes D. legs
67.In which part can people read the article in a newspaper

When the farmer asked what he could do, he said, "I can sleep when the storm (风暴) comes."
