A
Once upon a time，there were four seeds. They were good friends. They traveled by wind and came to a forest. They hid themselves in the ground，and hoped that they would be able to grow into big trees.
But when the first seed began to grow，they realized it wouldn't be such an easy task. There lived a group of monkeys，and the smallest monkeys loved to throw bananas at any plant that started to grow. They threw so many bananas at the first seed that she was almost cut into two. When she told the other seeds what happened，they thought that it would be better to wait until the monkeys went away.
They all agreed with that，except the first seed. She thought she would at least try it. When she tried，she was hurt by bananas. The other seeds asked her to stop trying，but she had made up her mind to become a tree. She tried again and again. Every time she was hit by bananas，she would try harder. The scars left by the bananas helped her grow stronger than the other seeds. Later，she could withstand(经受住) the hit of bananas. She had already grown so well that monkeys couldn't hurt her badly.

On April 5, Queen Elizabeth II gave a short but powerful speech to inspire(激励) the British people. The UK, like many countries around the world, has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. Many people have to stay at home and many businesses have been closed
In her speech, the Queen thanked people of all walks of life for both following stay-at-home rules and making an effort to help their neighbors. She also thanked the county's medical workers as they continue to fight the virus.
The Queen talked about her first-ever radio broadcast-delivered in 1940-when she and her sister Margaret spoke to children who had been evacuated (撤离) from their homes during World War II . Fearing that German bombing would kill people in the cities, millions of children in England were sent to safer places in the countryside.
"Echoes(再现) of that struggle of the 1940s, which for so long defined(定义) Britain and its self-image, ran through the broadcast," the BBC said.
She ended the speech with a familiar phrase: "We will meet again. It's a reference(引用)to Vera Lynn's We’ll Meet Again, a song that encouraged unity(团结) and optimism(乐观) among Britons during World War II. With her speech, the Queen hoped to encourage national unity, according to the BBC.
23. For safety many children in England were sent to the countryside during World War I.
24. The Queen's first radio broadcast speech was made with her sister in 1940.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens. 26._______ Why Because people with big houses may often feel lonely and people with cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. 27. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. 28. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. 29.______________ When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy. That’s because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. 30.
A. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. B. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person. C. All these are your happiness. D. There are a lot of people who love you and would like to help you. You needn’t admire(羡慕) those people who have cars, either. It is a feeling of your heart. G. You can have the things that you like if you work hard.

Are you interested in country music I like it very much! It will take me away for a while after I am tired. The guitars and songs will take me to mountains and fields.
Country music usually talks of everyday life and feelings. It's the spirit of America, easy to understand, slow and simple.
Country music developed in the Southern United States. It was the folk music of American countryside. Many of the songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love, crops or death.
The life of the countryside can be hard, so the words in country music are often sad. At first, people played the music only at family parties. But it became more popular later. In the 1920s, people played country songs on the radio, and they made them into records. When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work, they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America. John Denver was one of America's most famous country singers in the 1970s. His song Take Me Home, Country Roads is well known and people still play it today.
41What does country music usually talk of
42．Where did country music develop
43．When did people begin to make country songs into records
44.Who is one of the most famous country music singer in America in the 1970s
