Tangchang, a town in Chengdu, is well-known for cloth shoes. With over 20 types, Tangchang cloth shoes are strong, comfortable, breathable and friendly to the environment. In 2018, they were added to Sichuan’s intangible cultural heritage list(非物质文化遗产名录).
63-year-old Lai Shufang has spent over 40 years making Tangchang cloth shoes. Now she is quite good at it. She said there are 32 steps(步骤) to make a pair, but the most important step is making the soles.
Layers(层)of white cloth are glued together with flour paste(糨糊). “To make good paste, we make it at a temperature of 85℃. If it’s too low or too high, the paste will not work,” Lai said. Then the pasted layers are dried and cut into different shapes. After this, the layered cloth is beaten again and again until it is tight(紧实的)enough tomake soles and upper parts. The next step is to shape the two parts and glue them together. But still the soles’ edges look fluffy(毛绒绒的). After cutting the fluffy edges again and again, the cloth shoes are ready.
Lai’s hard work touched her son Ai Peng. In 2015, Ai decided to leave his job and help his mother. He used Shu embroidery to make the shoes look more beautiful and opened a cloth shoe store online. He also setup shop windows to show the steps of making shoes, helping more people learn about the art of cloth shoes.
( )6. What is the most important step in making Tangchang cloth shoesaccording to Ms. Lai
A. Making the soles. B. Making the upper parts.
C. Making good flour paste. D. Making the edges.
( )7. What is the correct order of the following steps of making Tangchangcloth shoes

( )8. What can you learn from the passage
A. How much a pair of cloth shoes is. B. When Ms. Lai became good at making cloth shoes.
C. How long it takes to make a pair of cloth shoes. D. Why the Tangchang cloth shoes become popular.
( )9. What is the best tile for this passage

One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, about two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance(距离). The boy had a big smile on his face as if(似乎) he had been out of prison(监狱). The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
At that moment, I thought to myself, “Why aren’t most adults(成年人) this way ” Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed (尴尬的) that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse (借口) for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to try again for fear of failure.
However, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider(认为) their falling down as a failure. Instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected(联系) “falling down” with the word “failure”. What’s more, they probably think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic(保持活力).
I was deeply impressed(印象深刻) by the boy’s persistence (坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.
( ) 10. What did the little boy do when he fell down
A. He cried and lay on the grass. B. He asked his mother for help.
C. He got up and went on running. D. He got up and stood there crying.
( ) 11. In the writer’s opinion, what might the little boy consider(考虑) his falling down as
A. A failure. B. A joke. C. An interesting game. D. A learning experience.
( ) 12. In the writer’s opinion, why can’t many adults succeed
A. Because they are afraid of being embarrassed. B. Because they can’t find a good excuse.
C. Because once they fail, they won’t try again. D. Because they don’t allow themselves to make mistakes.
( ) 13. The underlined word “attempt” in Paragraph 2 means _______.
A. try B. give C. face D. doubt
( ) 14. What does the writer want to tell us
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Every dog has its own day.

Literature(文学) is a word used to describe written as well spoken material(材料). Generally speaking, it is often used to describe anything of creative(有创造力的) imagination(想象), including works of poetry, drama and fiction.
Then why should we read literature, since it is often imaginary(有想象力的) and seems unconnected(无关的) with real life
A lot of us read literature for enjoyment and relaxation. It's always pleasant to read some interesting books in our spare time. In a modern life full of stress, it is our common wish to read some imaginary works and look for relaxation to keep away from the stress in life.
Reading literature is more than fun, and it also allows us to get knowledge. As a general(普遍的) rule, literature represents(代表) a language of people, and it often helps us know more about the traditions(传统) and values(价值) of the age in which it was written.
Sometimes literature can even offer us new, creative ways to have a better understanding of the world. It introduces us to new experiences. We enjoy the comedy(喜剧) and the tragedy(悲剧) of poems, stories and plays, and we may even grow through our literary journey with books. At last we may discover(发现) the meaning in literature by reading what the writer writes and how he or she writes it. In some ways, we explore the human condition and study the way humans think and feel the way they feel. Literature helps us think clearly and encourages(鼓励) us to open minds.
So we can certainly say literature is of great importance to us. Why not get going with one poem, drama or novel at once
1.________________should we read literature
