This August, Chongqing had a very hard time. It experienced a record-breaking heat and the highest temperatures on most days were above 40℃. Because of the awfully hot and dry weather, large forest fires happened in many parts of the city.
Firefighters made great efforts to bring the fires under control, but they were not the only heroes. In Beibei District, a large number of motorcyclists (摩托车手) played an important role and won widespread praise.
Li Xin is the owner of a motorcycle club in Beibei District. After hearing the government’s call for volunteers, he organized a team of 15 club members to support the firefighting in Xiema Town, the centre of the local fires. “It is my honor and duty (责任) to guard my hometown,” he said.
The team members took turns using nine motorcycles to carry food, water and whatever firefighters needed to deal with the fire. They also helped transport people to certain places.

Some fell and got hurt even though they had the best motorcycle skills. Some got heatstroke (中暑) after working long hours continuously. They didn’t have much time for sleep, but they were in high spirits at all times.
Besides riding on the difficult roads, the motorcyclists also helped cut wood and put out fires. They stayed and helped till the fires were finally put out.
57. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about
A. The cause of the fires. B. The influence of the fires.

Zhuojuema, a girl from Sichuan Province, has been trying to protect Tibetan black pottery (藏族黑陶) over the past few years. The 21-year-old started learning the skills of making black pottery from her teacher in a training centre six years ago.
Tibetan black pottery has a history of over 1,000 years, but it was once in danger of disappearing. Zhuojuema couldn’t find complete historical records about the craft (工艺) at first. So she and her partners decided to write some materials about the craft by themselves. However, it was a big challenge for them. To get more information, they looked through many history books, collected black pottery from door to door and talked with some craftsmen.
The pottery is completely hand-made without any modern tools Highland barley (青稞) is used to fire pottery, leading to an unusual chemical reaction (化学反应) with the clay (陶土) from local mountains. That’s why the pottery becomes black in the end. Firing pottery is a really important part of the process. The size and shape of the pottery have much to do with the time and temperature of heating.
To make more people enjoy this craft, Zhuojuema and her partners have made some changes. For example, they use the polishing (抛光) craft to process the pottery, making it more attractive. They also create small things, such as teapots and teacups, to make the pottery more useful in people’s daily lives.
“I dream of spreading the local culture and keeping the traditional Chinese craft alive by sharing interesting videos of making pottery online,” she said.
71. In which year did Zhuojuema begin learning to make black pottery
72. What was the big challenge for Zhuojuema and her partners

Zhuojuema, a girl from Sichuan Province, has been trying to protect Tibetan black pottery (藏族黑陶) over the past few years. The 21-year-old started learning the skills of making black pottery from her teacher in a training centre six years ago.
Tibetan black pottery has a history of over 1,000 years, but it was once in danger of disappearing. Zhuojuema couldn’t find complete historical records about the craft (工艺) at first. So she and her partners decided to write some materials about the craft by themselves. However, it was a big challenge for them. To get more information, they looked through many history books, collected black pottery from door to door and talked with some craftsmen.
The pottery is completely hand-made without any modern tools Highland barley (青稞) is used to fire pottery, leading to an unusual chemical reaction (化学反应) with the clay (陶土) from local mountains. That’s why the pottery becomes black in the end. Firing pottery is a really important part of the process. The size and shape of the pottery have much to do with the time and temperature of heating.
To make more people enjoy this craft, Zhuojuema and her partners have made some changes. For example, they use the polishing (抛光) craft to process the pottery, making it more attractive. They also create small things, such as teapots and teacups, to make the pottery more useful in people’s daily lives.
“I dream of spreading the local culture and keeping the traditional Chinese craft alive by sharing interesting videos of making pottery online,” she said.

What makes a man great
The greatest person in my mind is Albert Einstein. I think he was great because he devoted all his life to researching the world of science. And he achieved a lot of success. What he did for the world have changed the world a lot. Einstein was a scientist who changed the way we understand the world. He loved his work and never gave up easily when he faced difficulties. And I think he was a modest person who helped plenty of young scientists. I think all of these good qualities make him the greatest scientist in the world.
