Humans share Earth with wildlife. However, many of our animal friends may not he around for much longer. According to the Living Planet Report recently released by the World Wildlife Fund(WWF), populations of several animals, including mammals(乳动物), birds and fish, have fallen by an average of 60 percent since 1970. According to the report, one of the biggest causes of wildlife loss is human activities. Three quarters of the world’s land has been affected by human activities. Many natural habitats(栖息地) have been destroyed to create farmland. About 300 mammal species(种类) are dying out because humans are eating too many of them. Another example is the industrial over-fishing of the oceans.
“The challenge we face is to find ways to meet the needs of our growing population while protecting the environment,” the WWF said. It has called on world governments and businesses to make efforts together to protect people and nature.
The situation in China is not positive, either. According to a recent report, Chinese paddle fish(白鲟) may be dying out. And there are now less than 500 green peafowl(孔雀) in the wild.
To protect endangered animals, measures have been taken and progress has been made. For example, China has banned ivory(象牙) trading and the use of rhino horns(犀牛角) and tiger bones. It also stresses increasing public awareness(意识) by holding activities. Still, there’s a lot of work to be done.

D ．A B ．O. B ．can make your everyday life different.
In our everyday life, we take many things for granted (认为 …… 理所应当) . Being able to see is one of them. However, not everyone in the world has good vision (视力) .
The World Health Organization (WHO) has released (发布) its World Report on Vision. It says that 65 million people could get their vision back with a cataract operation (白内障手术) , but cannot get one because they have little or no health care where they live. In addition, over 800 million people have trouble doing everyday activities because they don’t have enough money to buy a pair of glasses.
For example, there are thousands of nearsighted (近视 的 ) African drivers who have difficulty seeing people walking across the road. This makes it dangerous for them to drive. And there are coffee farmers in Bolivia who find it hard to see their ripe (成熟的) beans because of cataracts. This means they can’t harvest as many beans. This is mainly a problem in low-income countries, such as western and eastern sub-Saharan (撒哈拉沙漠以南的) Africa, according to the report. A lack (缺少) of eye care services is one of the main reasons for this.
In southern Asia and other places around the world, there are still some cultural barriers (障碍) when trying to get glasses. In some places, people believe wearing glasses will make one’s eyes worse. In other places, when kids start
wearing glasses, their grandparents will say they are for rich people and not for village boys or girls, Public Radio International reported. These beliefs (信仰 ) and attitudes must change before more kids can get glasses and improve their vision.

B ．Eye health is a big problem in poor countries.
C ．People can do little to improve their eyesight.
D ．WHO will help some countries deal with vision problems.
18 ．What’s the best title for the text
A ．The poor eye care service problem. B ．Can we stop blindness
C ．What causes low income D ．Why do we need to protect our eyes
The rockets take astronauts and man-made satellites into space. The satellites are used for communication, weather monitoring and research. But how do satellites stay up without falling down
There are two opposite forces (力量) acting on the satellite. One of them is the force of gravitation (地心引力), which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth. The other force is created by the rotation (旋转) of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes
round and round. The gravitational pull of the earth (the force which pulls everything towards the ground) is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.
Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth. As time goes by, the satellite loses its speed, which makes the gravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash (坠落) down to the earth.
19 ．Which of the following uses of satellites is NOT mentioned
A ．communication
B ．monitoring the weather condition
C ．doing some research
D ．taking pictures
20 ．The force that pulls the satellite towards the earth is created by ________.
A ．the earth
B ．the satellite itself
C ．the rotation of the satellite
D ．the rope
21 ．Why can’t the satellites fly away
A ．Because of the force from the earth.
B ．Because the satellite is too big.
C ．Because of the force created by the rotation of the satellite around the earth.
D ．Because people on earth have made ropes to tie the satellites tightly.
22 ．The satellite will finally crashes down to the earth ________.
A ．when it flies faster
B ．when its speed slows down
C ．when people cut the rope
D ．when there is no electricity in it
23 ．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A ．There are four forces acting on the satellite.
B ．The force of gravitation makes the satellite go round and round.
C ．As time goes by, the satellite will finally fall down.
D ．The satellite will stay in space forever.
Do you know 5G It is the fifth generation (代) of mobile network technology. These new networks are coming. China just issued commercial licenses (发放商用牌照) for 5G on June 6, 2019. This means that China's telecom companies will be able to offer 5G networks for mobile phone users.
Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data (数据) and the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What's special about 5G
5G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds (毫秒 ) to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less-this is almost real-time.
'This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster，but also deeply change our lives. Read on to find out how.
5G + entertainment (娱乐)
5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G. Also, virtual reality (VR) games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.
5G + transport
5C will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals (信号) to each other. They also talk to traffic lights and road sensors (传感器) . 5G will allow cars to react (反应) even faster than human drivers. 5G + smart homes
5G also makes the Internet of things possible. Internet of things is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it.
For example, your toaster can automatically (自动地) start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler (洒水器) could water your plants by itself.
24 ．What's the writer's purpose in writing the third paragraph
A ．To explain 5G is the best of all.
B ．To share his knowledge about 5G.
C ．To encourage people to use the new network technology.
D ．To show the development of mobile network technology.
25 ．What does the underlined word “delay” in paragraph 4 mean in Chinese
A．卡顿 B．延时 C．暂停 D．掉线
26 ．Which of the following ways is not mentioned that 5G will change people's lives
A ．Health care B ．Entertainment. C ．Transport. D ．Smart homes.
27 ．What will people do possibly with 5G according to the passage
A ．Download a movie in minutes.
B ．Put everything onto the Internet.
C ．Make self-driving cars safer.
D ．Make food more easily and faster.
28 ．What's the main idea of the passage
A ．5G will change our lives in many ways.
B ．Mobile networks are changing for better.
C ．5G will make the Internet of things possible.
D ．5G networks for mobile phone users are coming.
If you look at the top of your phone, you’ll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The G stands for the “generation” of your mobile network. But these symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.
On March 30th, 2019, Shanghai vice-mayor (副市长) Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X smart phone, CGTN reported. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks. About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data faster than ever before. But 5G won’t just bring faster mobile Internet. People can use it for many other things as well.
For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today’s self-driving test cars have one problem - lag. When the car “sees” an obstacle( 障碍物), it sends the information to a data center and receives instructions. However, it takes time to send and receive information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don’t receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be great lowered, making the cars safer, according to CNN. 5G could also be used to power the Internet of Things (IOT). This refers to a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast Internet speeds will be the key to develop this technology. The IOT could be used in a lot of
ways. For example, with IOT, your refrigerator could automatically place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.
China is working on test runs of 5G systems in 17 cities across the country. And it is true that China is becoming the world’s largest 5G market, with 450 million users by 2025, China Daily reported.

American teens love their sports
Whether it’s soccer, basketball or tennis, there are lots of fun sports to play when you’re not busy with school.
Some sports, like basketball, are universal (世界性的) . Kids all over the world play them. But other sports are
more unique (独特的) .
In the US, playing baseball is a common after-school activity for many kids. In fact, it is known as the “national pastime” of the US. But few people outside of the US play this sport. It is popular in some Central American countries, such as Mexico, and some East Asian countries, such as Japan and South Korea. But it is almost unknown in other parts of the world.
There is also American football. a sport that is unique to the US and Canada. The sport is similar to rugby (英式橄 榄球) , which is more popular in Europe. Players have to carry, throw or kick the ball to a receiving player in the “end zone” in order to score points. But they have to get the ball past a wall of defending (防护的) players first. US students who play these sports usually take them quite seriously. Some high school athletes (运动员) can go on to play on college teams, receiving scholarships (奖学金) in return for their performance on the field. Talented college players can be picked by national teams and become professional players. So for some young athletes, playing sports after school can lead to a full-time career.
43 ．What is known as the “national pastime” of the US
A ．Playing baseball. B ．Playing soccer. C ．Playing basketball. D ．Playing football.
44 ．Which of the following is TRUE about American football

45 ．How can your team score points in American football
A ．Kick the ball into the “end zone.” B ．Pass a wall of defending players.
C ．Throw the ball to a player in the “end zone.” D ．Receive the ball and run down the field.
46 ．Why do college students in the US take sports seriously
A ．Because they can earn money from playing on national teams.
B ．Because they can have fun when they’re not busy with school.
C ．Because they can make friends with high school players.
D ．Because they can be picked to play on national teams.
You and I can tell one face from another, but can computers do the same with few mistakes At an earlier time, many people thought it was impossible, but now, the development of technology has made it come true. New technology like facial recognition (脸部识别) technology helps to make our lives better and more convenient
in many ways. People can easily come into their office buildings and check e-mails by using it. It can also help the police to find missing kids and bad people by sending the pictures taken from video cameras on the streets to the facial recognition system. More and more shoppers use their e-wallets with the new technology to pay for things they buy in the shopping malls and many kinds of stores.
In the fall of 2017, Apple even used this technology to open the smart-phone in no more than one second. However, what is facial recognition technology and how does the system make it
First, facial recognition technology checks the space between eyes, the eye color, the ear size and the lip thickness. Then the system makes a record of your face and saves it in the database (数据库). That is to say, if you want to get the right to go into some places or to do something, you just look at the camera and let your picture run through the database.
Once the system checks your face and finds that it is correct, you can then get the right to go into the places or to do something.
However, is there any way to fool the facial recognition system The answer is yes. Although it is an amazing technology, it sometimes doesn’t work. The following are some examples.
47 ．What can we know about facial recognition technology from Paragraph 2

Being green means protecting the environment in our daily life. The best way to do this is buying green products. But how do we know if a product is really green We need to think about everything of the product.
First, we should look at the materials of the products. Green products are made of natural materials. This is good for our health.
Second, where a product is made and where we buy it are also important. We should try to buy local products, especially food. We can order directly from local farmers. Buying from shops near our homes is also a good idea, because we can go there without driving a car.
Packaging (包装) is another thing we should think about. We should choose products that have glass, paper or other packaging that can be reused or recycled. We should also try to buy products that have less packaging or no packaging at all.
The greenest thing we can do is not to buy unnecessary products. We should only buy things we really need, like food and clothes. If we don’t need something, we should leave it in the shop. This saves money, reduces waste, and helps keep the planet healthy.
All in all, by buying green products, we can help make our planet a better place to live on.

Looking at the undone homework on his desk always makes David Grey feel uncomfortable. David usually leaves his homework behind and surfs the Internet instead, waiting until the last minute. “But the longer I wait,” says David, aged 15, “the more I worry.”
Everyone procrastinates (拖延) because they want to feel good now. The way to do that is to avoid the task. You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even enjoyable tasks such as planning a vacation. Research has shown that the top tasks young people procrastinate are studying and going to bed. “One big cause for procrastination is that people are afraid of failure, of not meeting others’ expectations,” says Professor Peter Stone.
Some people believe that procrastination will make them thrive. But researchers disagree. “I did a study several years ago, asking procrastinators to finish a task in a certain period of time,” says Stone. “They did worse than non-procrastinators: they made more mistakes and they took longer. But they thought they did better.” Procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. For example, bedtime procrastination can lead to sleeplessness, which in turn can cause many other health problems.
For those who need some drives to stop procrastinating, the best advice might be to take action first. If you’ve been procrastinating on forming a habit of exercise, just put on your walking shoes. A little bit of progress will get you moving.
Next, find something to help you remember to take action. If you want to go to bed at 10:30 pm, you might set a timed dimmer switch (渐暗开关) at 10 pm. When the lights are dimmer, you’ll start going to bed. It works for most people.
Finally, reward ( 奖励) yourself every time you make progress. For example, after you’ve run 3 km, enjoy your
favourite ice-cream. But be careful: it won’t work the other way around.
57 ．What is the main reason for people’s procrastination
A ．They want to avoid doing hard work.
B ．They fear to fail and let others down.
C ．They need to finish the top tasks first.
D ．They plan to do the enjoyable tasks last.
58 ．What does the underlined word “thrive” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A ．think faster B ．worry too much C ．give up more easily D ．work more successfully
59 ．What should David do if he wants to stop procrastinating on a wring task
A ．Put on some soft music to help think actively.
B ．Enjoy a favourite ice-cream, and then start writing.
C ．Search the Internet for enough ideas for a long time.
D ．Pick up a pen and write down possible starting sentences.
60 ．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage
A ．Explaining why people procrastinate.
B ．Telling readers what procrastination is.
C ．Showing the disadvantages of procrastination.
D ．Showing people how to stop procrastination.
61 ．What can be the best title of this passage
A ．A day of a procrastinator B ．Prognostication: yes or no

Guess what Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and United States president Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Arabella Kushner, have in common They all study Chinese as a second language.
Although Chinese is known as one of the hardest languages to learn, a lot of people from different backgrounds are studying it with hopes of big advantages.
More than 120 people, representing 105 countries, had a competition in the finals of the 12th Chinese Bridge Chinese Proficiency Competition for foreign secondary school students on November 2. Held in Zhengzhou, Henan province, the finals included speech contests and talent shows. The contestants also visited the Shaolin Temple,
Longmen Grottoes(石窟) and other places of interest.
While reasons for learning Chinese varied among contestants, a common one was enthusiasm( 热 情 ) for the country’s rich culture and rapid development.
Raissa, 17, from the Union of the Comoros, developed a strong emotional connection with China after her grandmother was cured by doctors of the Chinese medical team in Africa three years ago. This led her to learn Chinese at a local Confucius Institute(孔子学院).
Attracted by Chinese culture, the contestant took part in activities on traditional Chinese medicine and folk arts during her first trip to China. Her dream is to study medicine in China so that she could cure patients like the Chinese doctors did.
For Fekete Marcell Zoltan, 17, from the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School, studying Chinese may help him get a future job as a Hungarian diplomat(外交官) to China. After graduation from high school, he would like to further his studies in China.
Now that a bridge has been built between the contestants and China, where will their journeys take them
Robert Davis, director of the Chinese-language program in Chicago’s public school system, says,“Chinese isn’t the new French. It’s the new English. ”

Have you ever thought about what kind of job you would like to have when you grow up Many people think that we can have only one job in our lifetime. We all know that this is not true, but quite a few people actually think this way. For example, when people choose a major in college, they think that the decisions they make now will decide their jobs for the rest of their lives. However, there are many examples where people became successful after changing their careers (职业) later in life.
J. K. Rowling (J.K.罗琳), writer of the famous novel Harry Potter, was actually a school teacher before she began writing books. In fact, she was out of work before the first Harry Potter book came out.
Former US President Ronald Reagan (罗纳德.里根)began as an actor when he was a young man. He later decided that he wanted to do political work. This kind of passion (激情) finally led him to become President of the United
States.
The famous 19th century artist Vincent Van Gogh (文森特 · 威廉 · 梵高) was not a painter from the beginning. He once worked as an art salesman and later became a preacher. It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist.

Do you know about Huaguxi It originated in Hunan Province. Some other provinces, like Hubei, Anhui, Henan,
Shanxi, also have Huaguxi.
People could watch Huaguxi as early as the Qing Dynasty. At that time, most of the Huaguxi players were farmers. They wore colorful clothes and painted their faces. They always sang songs and danced along the streets to celebrate some special festivals. These players were popular with the people in the countryside.
During the early 19th century, there were only two roles in Huaguxi: chou and dan. Chou is a male clown(男丑角) and dan is a young girl. Both roles were played by men. In the 1860s, Huaguxi added a new role: sheng(a handsome young man). In the early 20th century, women began to play in Huaguxi.
The early Huaguxi lasted only 45 minutes to an hour. Most plays were about the life of the farmers. In the late 19th and 20th centuries, some Huaguxi performance groups moved to Changsha.

An exhibition about the Grand Canal ended at the National Museum of China in Beijing on March 1st. The Grand Canal is more than 2,500 years old. It is made up of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Sui and Tang Grand Canal, and the Zhedong Canal. At nearly 3,200 kilometers long, it is the world’s longest man-made waterway. It has influenced the development of Chinese economics and culture for hundreds of years.
Before it was built, people in ancient China used horses and oxen, or simply traveled on foot, to trade goods. It was impossible to transport large-sized goods. After the Grand Canal connected the north and the south, business and cultural exchanges were able to develop further.
In fact, the Grand Canal played an important role in the building of the Forbidden City. Materials from different
parts of the country were sent to Beijing through the canal, including bricks fired in Shandong and Jiangsu and wood cut in Hunan. People even owe the beginning of Beijing duck to the canal.

Do you help your parents with chores around the house Can you cook for your family
To stress the importance of hardworking spirit education among students of different ages, the Chinese government recently released a guideline. The guideline calls for students to respect (尊重) work. Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits, through such education.
The government has been trying to stress the importance of hardworking spirit education. But this has been overlooked (忽视)in recent years. Many teens do not value the importance of working hard and are uninterested in doing so.
According to a study of nearly 3,000 students that was done by Xiangyang Evening News in March, only 22
percent of primary and middle school students help with everyday chores around the house.
Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard, the guideline
says.
Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experience. For example, schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree-planting Day.
As children’s first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.

We spend about one-third of our lives asleep. This may sound like a lot of time, but it is not wasted. Our bodies need sleep to stay healthy. Not getting enough sleep can make us sick.
Sleep and our immune (免疫) system
The immune system protects the body from diseases and infections ( 传染). Not getting enough sleep hurts this protective system.
The Mayo Clinic is a research hospital in the United States. Its website explains that when we sleep our bodies produce proteins ( 蛋 白 质 ) that support sleep and help us fight infections. They add that infection-fighting antibodies (抗体) are reduced during periods when you don't get enough sleep.
A new study from the University of Washington in the U.S. seems to confirm this. Dr. Nathaniel Watson was the lead writer of the study. Watson says his study shows that the immune system works best when the body gets enough sleep. For the study, Watson and his team studied 11 pairs of twins ( 双 胞 胎 ). This is an important difference from other sleep studies. Other research did not study twins. Researchers found that the twin who slept less had a weaker immune system.
Watson says his study showed for the first time that a long-term lack ( 缺 乏) of sleep shuts down parts of the immune system. He says parts that move white blood cells around the body are influenced. White blood cells fight infections in the body.
Watson’s study provides more evidence (证据) that sleep is important to “overall health” . And sleep is especially important to immune health.
The researchers published their findings in the magazine Sleep.
How much sleep is enough
To stay in good health, experts at the Mayo Clinic say that adults should get 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Teenagers need 9 to 10 hours. And school-aged children may need more than 10 hours of sleep a night.
Experts say our sleep becomes poor in our 30s. By the time we reach our 50s, the average person has lost 50 percent of their ability to have a restful sleep. These people also have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep through the night. From middle age on, they say these problems only get worse, and they can influence our health.
Signs you may not be getting enough sleep
You’re always hungry or you've gained weight.
You have trouble making decisions.

A tiny forest is a small area of closely planted, fast growing local trees. It is created to copy a natural forest, bringing all its benefits, but for a small space in cities. The first tiny forest was planted by a Japanese plant expert. Dr. Akira Miyawaki in the 1970s. It was so great that it grew quickly in countries such as Denmark, Britain, Germany, Ireland and Spain.
As the name suggests, the place doesn’t have to be big. An area the size of about 200㎡ is perfect. 600 trees, with as many as 40 different kinds, can be planted in the place. With 2 to 7 trees every square metre, the trees are planted much more closely than the ones in normal forests. But there’s still room for the trees to grow naturally without the use of fertilizers.
To plant a tiny forest, one starts with testing the soil and choosing right kinds of trees. In cities, the soil is often in
poor condition. It is important to create loose and rich soil. When the soil is prepared, the community will invite school children on a planting day. The forests need 2 to 3 years of care from children. Then the trees can become self-growing. It’s believed if children plant their own forest and spend a lot of time caring for it, they will grow up to be healthy adults with a sense of responsibility for the society.
Trees and forests aren’t special pieces of nature that should only exist in the countryside. They need to be a part of life in cities too.
97 ．The idea of a tiny forest came from a scientist in ________.
A ．Britain B ．Japan C ．Germany D ．Spain
98 ．What’s special about a tiny forest

B ．It usually covers an area of about 600㎡.
C ．It grows quickly with the help of fertilizers.
D ．Trees are planted closely in small places in cities.
99 ．Planting tiny forests can ________.
A ．help children grow into responsible adults
B ．tell children the way to test the soil condition
C ．teach children knowledge about the community
D ．let children experience the life in the countryside
100 ．What is the best title for the passage
A ．Save the World with a Tiny Forest B ．Tiny Forest: Great Hope far Children
C ．Learn to Grow Your Own Tiny Forest D ．Tiny Forest: Super Tiny, Super Powerful
By the year 2050, it is said that the world’s population will reach nine billion. With such a large population to feed, what should we do to provide everyone with enough food in the future What will happen if everyone needs more meat in the diet Food supply is going to be a big headache.
Australian journalist and science writer, Julian Cribb, explains the challenges. Cribb says there is a major problem in the current food system, especially in the developed world. As more and more people move towards city centers, the less and less they know about where their food comes from. Most think food simply grows on supermarket shelves, and they don*t consider the environmental effects of food production.
Food also has many hidden costs: huge amount of water, energy, and land degradation (退化). Consumers add their own costs by simply throwing away a lot of food. The figures for food waste in West are surprising.
To solve this problem of public ignorance(无知)about food, Cribb suggests that food should be taught as a subject at primacy school. This would help to create a future generation that could better deal with the world’s coming food challenges. This powerful measure can help them become more educated consumers, more productive farmers, and
so on.
Cribb offers other solutions and suggestions as well. One is to increase the money for agriculture(农业)research, which has not been taken seriously so far. He also suggests organic( 有机 的)fanning should be understood on a scientific basis. People should change their fixed thinking and get the very best out of organic farming systems. By doing so, we may know how to stop wasting water and learn how to grow food more cheaply. Besides, Cribb asks all consumers to eat more fruits and pared with meats, they take less time and water to grow so that they are much greener as food and more friendly to the environment.
101 ．What is the main problem about food mentioned in the 2nd paragraph
A ．Increasing ignorance about food production.
B ．Food production doing harm to the environment.
C ．An increasing number of people moving to city centers.
D ．Over population with nine billion people to feed.
102 ．Which of the following is NOT a reason for making food a subject at school
A ．To train more productive farmers.
B ．To educate students about food production.
C ．To better prepare students for future food challenges.
D ．To help students understand more about city environment.
103 ．What is the structure of the passage
(Pl=Paragraph l P2=Paragraph2 P3=Paragraph3 P4=Paragraph4 P5=Paragraph5)
A ． B ． C ． D ．
104 ．The text is mainly about ________.
A ．public blindness about food and education
B ．organic farming and its research
C ．food problems in the future and some solutions
D ．the world’s population in 2050 and the environment
Language changes all the time. New words and phrases appear and grow. The words and pronunciations used by young people in the UK can be very different from those used by adults. Living in a multi-cultural society has an effect on language, especially on young people, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds. TV and music also influence the language of the young.
Young British people use lots of language that you usually can’t find in most dictionaries. These extremely informal words and expressions are known as “slang” . It is not possible to make a complete list of modern British slang. By the time the list were finished, it would be out of date! However, here are a few examples:
Safe, sorted, sound, cool and wicked all mean “That’s good” or “I understand” .
“Whatever” means “I don’t care” . (e. g. A: But the teacher says we can’t leave until we’ve finished. B: Whatever. I’m going.)
“He’s fine.” and “He’s fit.” both mean “He’s good-looking.” Fine and fit can describe a boy or a girl. Not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in Sheffield has recently required its pupils to stop using slang words such as hiya (hello) , cheers and ta (both mean “thank you”) . The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak “correctly”, this will help them get a place at university and a good job.
So, how important is it to understand these slang words and expressions If you watch films or TV in English, read magazines in English, chat online in English or are interested in English song lyrics, then understanding slang can be very useful. You probably won’t see much slang in your English exam, though.

Scientists have been hoping to explore the moon with robots. But the land on the moon is tough. There are steep (陡峭的) hills, big rocks and holes. It is not easy for common robots to move around. A small robot called COBRA is here to help.
Students from Northeastern University in the US made COBRA ．It won the top prize in NASA’s Breakthrough, Innovative, and Game-Changing(BIG) Idea Challenge. The robot is made up of 13 mini-bots. It looks like a snake. It can wiggle (扭动) in the sand and along a dirty road. It can connect its head to its tail to roll down long and steep hills. Its spiral (螺旋) structure helps it move out of tough places more easily.
One of NASA’s biggest aims (目标) in the coming years is to put humans back on the moon. They did it more than 50 years ago. But this time, they hope to stay on the moon and set up a base. “If you’re going back to the moon to stay, robots are going to be an important part of it,” said NASA engineer Vandi Verma. She is also one of the judges of the BIG Idea Challenge.
NASA wants to build the base in an area on the moon’s south pole. That area may have frozen water, which is important for humans. But the area is full of steep hills and holes. NASA turns to young people for their out-of-the-box ideas. At the BIG Idea Challenge, the teams from different universities gave all kinds of solutions.
111 ．What is COBRA like according to the passage
A ．A spiral. B ．A snake. C ．Steep hills. D ．The moon.
112 ．How does the small robot move out of tough places
A ．It climbs the tough places easily.
B ．It moves over the steep hills and holes.
C ．It wiggles up and down by its spiral structure.
D ．It is long enough to roll down tough places.
113 ．Why do we need this special kind of the robot on the moon
A ．To put humans back on the moon.
B ．To explore the moon with robots for humans.
C ．To stay on the moon and set up a base on the north pole.
D ．To move out of steep hills, big rocks and holes.
114 ．What can we know from the passage
A ．NASA has planned to set up a base on the rocks.
B ．Many NASA scientists were winners of the BIG Idea Challenge.
C ．It’s difficult to use common robots to explore the moon.
D ．COBRA can move in tough places as well as other robots.
We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, around by people who are, like us, deeply look at their smartphones or, worse, fighting with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s challenging, or we think it’s unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big advantages.
Small talk is the grease ( 润滑 剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not
just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to look for an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their waiter reported higher positive ( 积极 的) feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband.” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a greater sense of belonging (归属感), a relationship with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners.” he says.
115 ．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1
A ．Interest in smartphones. B ．Unsuitable behaviours in public places.
C ．Absence of communication between strangers. D ．Impatience with slow service.
116 ．What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk
A ．It improves family relationships. B ．It raises people’s confidence.
C ．It matters as much as a formal talk. D ．It makes people feel good.
117 ．What is the best title for the text
A ．Conversation Counts B ．Advantages of Small Talk
C ．Uncomfortable Silence D ．Ways of Making Small Talk

Humans share Earth with wildlife. However, many of our animal friends may not he around for much longer. According to the Living Planet Report recently released by the World Wildlife Fund(WWF), populations of several animals, including mammals(乳动物), birds and fish, have fallen by an average of 60 percent since 1970. According to the report, one of the biggest causes of wildlife loss is human activities. Three quarters of the world’s land has been affected by human activities. Many natural habitats(栖息地) have been destroyed to create farmland. About 300 mammal species(种类) are dying out because humans are eating too many of them. Another example is the industrial over-fishing of the oceans.
“The challenge we face is to find ways to meet the needs of our growing population while protecting the environment,” the WWF said. It has called on world governments and businesses to make efforts together to protect people and nature.
The situation in China is not positive, either. According to a recent report, Chinese paddle fish(白鲟) may be dying out. And there are now less than 500 green peafowl(孔雀) in the wild.
To protect endangered animals, measures have been taken and progress has been made. For example, China has banned ivory(象牙) trading and the use of rhino horns(犀牛角) and tiger bones. It also stresses increasing public awareness(意识) by holding activities. Still, there’s a lot of work to be done.
5 ．Which picture shows the change in several animal populations since 1970
A ． B ． C ． D ．
6 ．________ of the world’s land has been affected by human activities.
A ．60% B ．75% C ．30% D ．50%
7 ．According to the report, wildlife loss is a result of ________.
a. creating farmland b. eating too many mammals
c. industrial over-fishing d. air pollution
A ．acd B ．abd C ．abc D ．bcd
8 ．What does the underlined word “banned” probably mean in Chincse
A．改变 B．开始 C．鼓励 D．禁止
9 ．This passage is written mainly to ________.

In our everyday life, we take many things for granted (认为 …… 理所应当) . Being able to see is one of them. However, not everyone in the world has good vision (视力) .
The World Health Organization (WHO) has released (发布) its World Report on Vision. It says that 65 million people could get their vision back with a cataract operation (白内障手术) , but cannot get one because they have little or no health care where they live. In addition, over 800 million people have trouble doing everyday activities because they don’t have enough money to buy a pair of glasses.
For example, there are thousands of nearsighted (近视 的 ) African drivers who have difficulty seeing people walking across the road. This makes it dangerous for them to drive. And there are coffee farmers in Bolivia who find it hard to see their ripe (成熟的) beans because of cataracts. This means they can’t harvest as many beans. This is mainly a problem in low-income countries, such as western and eastern sub-Saharan (撒哈拉沙漠以南的) Africa, according to the report. A lack (缺少) of eye care services is one of the main reasons for this.
In southern Asia and other places around the world, there are still some cultural barriers (障碍) when trying to get glasses. In some places, people believe wearing glasses will make one’s eyes worse. In other places, when kids start wearing glasses, their grandparents will say they are for rich people and not for village boys or girls, Public Radio International reported. These beliefs (信仰 ) and attitudes must change before more kids can get glasses and improve their vision.
15 ．The WHO recently released a report about ________ around the world.
A ．cataract operations B ．vision problems C ．eye care services D ．types of glasses
16 ．The examples of African drivers and Bolivian farmers show that ________.
A ．people with poor vision face many difficulties
B ．too much work can cause vision problems
C ．people with cataracts will go blind
D ．there is no eye care in African countries
17 ．What can we learn from the story
A ．Only poor people have eye problems.
B ．Eye health is a big problem in poor countries.
C ．People can do little to improve their eyesight.
D ．WHO will help some countries deal with vision problems.
18 ．What’s the best title for the text
A ．The poor eye care service problem. B ．Can we stop blindness
C ．What causes low income D ．Why do we need to protect our eyes

The rockets take astronauts and man-made satellites into space. The satellites are used for communication, weather monitoring and research. But how do satellites stay up without falling down
There are two opposite forces (力量) acting on the satellite. One of them is the force of gravitation (地心引力), which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth. The other force is created by the rotation (旋转) of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes round and round. The gravitational pull of the earth (the force which pulls everything towards the ground) is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.
Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth. As
time goes by, the satellite loses its speed, which makes the gravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash (坠落) down to the earth.
19 ．Which of the following uses of satellites is NOT mentioned
A ．communication
B ．monitoring the weather condition
C ．doing some research
D ．taking pictures
20 ．The force that pulls the satellite towards the earth is created by ________.
A ．the earth
B ．the satellite itself
C ．the rotation of the satellite
D ．the rope
21 ．Why can’t the satellites fly away
A ．Because of the force from the earth.
B ．Because the satellite is too big.
C ．Because of the force created by the rotation of the satellite around the earth.
D ．Because people on earth have made ropes to tie the satellites tightly.
22 ．The satellite will finally crashes down to the earth ________.
A ．when it flies faster
B ．when its speed slows down
C ．when people cut the rope
D ．when there is no electricity in it
23 ．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A ．There are four forces acting on the satellite.
B ．The force of gravitation makes the satellite go round and round.
C ．As time goes by, the satellite will finally fall down.
D ．The satellite will stay in space forever.

Do you know 5G It is the fifth generation (代) of mobile network technology. These new networks are coming. China just issued commercial licenses (发放商用牌照) for 5G on June 6, 2019. This means that China's telecom companies will be able to offer 5G networks for mobile phone users.
Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data (数据) and the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What's special about 5G
5G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds (毫秒 ) to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less-this is almost real-time.
'This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster，but also deeply change our lives. Read on to find out how.
5G + entertainment (娱乐)
5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G. Also, virtual reality (VR) games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.
5G + transport
5C will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals (信号) to each other. They also talk to traffic lights and road sensors (传感器) . 5G will allow cars to react (反应) even faster than human drivers.
5G + smart homes
5G also makes the Internet of things possible. Internet of things is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it.
For example, your toaster can automatically (自动地) start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler (洒水器) could water your plants by itself.
24 ．What's the writer's purpose in writing the third paragraph
A ．To explain 5G is the best of all.
B ．To share his knowledge about 5G.
C ．To encourage people to use the new network technology.
D ．To show the development of mobile network technology.
25 ．What does the underlined word “delay” in paragraph 4 mean in Chinese
A．卡顿 B．延时 C．暂停 D．掉线
26 ．Which of the following ways is not mentioned that 5G will change people's lives
A ．Health care B ．Entertainment. C ．Transport. D ．Smart homes.
27 ．What will people do possibly with 5G according to the passage
A ．Download a movie in minutes.
B ．Put everything onto the Internet.
C ．Make self-driving cars safer.
D ．Make food more easily and faster.
28 ．What's the main idea of the passage
A ．5G will change our lives in many ways.
B ．Mobile networks are changing for better.
C ．5G will make the Internet of things possible.
D ．5G networks for mobile phone users are coming.

If you look at the top of your phone, you’ll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The G stands for the “generation” of your mobile network. But these symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.
On March 30th, 2019, Shanghai vice-mayor (副市长) Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X smart phone, CGTN reported. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks. About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data faster than ever before. But 5G won’t just bring faster mobile Internet. People can use it for many other things as well.
For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today’s self-driving test cars have one problem - lag. When the car “sees” an obstacle( 障碍物), it sends the information to a data center and receives instructions. However, it takes time to send and receive information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they
don’t receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be great lowered, making the cars safer, according to CNN. 5G could also be used to power the Internet of Things (IOT). This refers to a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast Internet speeds will be the key to develop this technology. The IOT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IOT, your refrigerator could automatically place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.
China is working on test runs of 5G systems in 17 cities across the country. And it is true that China is becoming the world’s largest 5G market, with 450 million users by 2025, China Daily reported.

To get ready for the upcoming 2022 Winter Olympics, Beijing held its first round of test activities on ice-based sports at venues( 体育 比赛场馆) across the city. On April 17, 2021, the test for speed skating kicked off at the National Speed Skating Oval, which is the only newly-built venue for the games.
The Oval is equipped with the newest technology, including energy-saving and low-carbon emission( 排 放 ) pared with traditional technology, it can save 2 million kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. It is the first time in the Olympics’ history that carbon dioxide direct cooling technology is used to cut down on carbon emissions.
By using AI in ice-making system and indoor environment control, the Oval will be able to exactly control the temperature and thickness of the ice and the stability(稳固性) of its surface so that athletes will be provided with
great skating condition. At the same time, the temperature of the seating area will be kept around 16℃, helping the audience(观众) have the best possible watching experience.
Athletes who have just finished the game have said that the competition environment here is quite excellent. Epperdine Yahefu, who won the men’s 500-meter speed skating competition, even scored his best performance of the season here. He told reporters that the results are inseparable from the help of the new venue.
The skating hall of the Oval has an ice surface of about 12,000 square meters, making it the largest speed skating venue in Asia. It will not only stage international sports events but will be open to the public after the 2022 Games.
38 ．We may learn from the first two paragraphs that _________.
A ．more test activities will be held for the 2022 Winter Olympics
B ．carbon dioxide direct cooling technology is widely used
C ．another venue will be built in the following months
D ．traditional technology can save more electricity
39 ．The temperature in the Oval _________.
A ．can help athletes warm up
B ．can benefit both athletes and the audience
C ．can be changed freely to meet people’s need
D ．can be controlled to save energy

American teens love their sports
Whether it’s soccer, basketball or tennis, there are lots of fun sports to play when you’re not busy with school. Some sports, like basketball, are universal (世界性的) . Kids all over the world play them. But other sports are more unique (独特的) .
In the US, playing baseball is a common after-school activity for many kids. In fact, it is known as the “national pastime” of the US. But few people outside of the US play this sport. It is popular in some Central American countries, such as Mexico, and some East Asian countries, such as Japan and South Korea. But it is almost unknown in other parts of the world.
There is also American football. a sport that is unique to the US and Canada. The sport is similar to rugby (英式橄
榄球) , which is more popular in Europe. Players have to carry, throw or kick the ball to a receiving player in the “end zone” in order to score points. But they have to get the ball past a wall of defending (防护的) players first. US students who play these sports usually take them quite seriously. Some high school athletes (运动员) can go on to play on college teams, receiving scholarships (奖学金) in return for their performance on the field. Talented college players can be picked by national teams and become professional players. So for some young athletes, playing sports after school can lead to a full-time career.
43 ．What is known as the “national pastime” of the US
A ．Playing baseball. B ．Playing soccer. C ．Playing basketball. D ．Playing football.
44 ．Which of the following is TRUE about American football

A ．Because they can earn money from playing on national teams.
B ．Because they can have fun when they’re not busy with school.
C ．Because they can make friends with high school players.
D ．Because they can be picked to play on national teams.

You and I can tell one face from another, but can computers do the same with few mistakes At an earlier time, many people thought it was impossible, but now, the development of technology has made it come true. New technology like facial recognition (脸部识别) technology helps to make our lives better and more convenient in many ways. People can easily come into their office buildings and check e-mails by using it. It can also help the police to find missing kids and bad people by sending the pictures taken from video cameras on the streets to the facial recognition system. More and more shoppers use their e-wallets with the new technology to pay for things they buy in the shopping malls and many kinds of stores.
In the fall of 2017, Apple even used this technology to open the smart-phone in no more than one second. However, what is facial recognition technology and how does the system make it
First, facial recognition technology checks the space between eyes, the eye color, the ear size and the lip thickness. Then the system makes a record of your face and saves it in the database (数据库). That is to say, if you want to get the right to go into some places or to do something, you just look at the camera and let your picture run through the database.
Once the system checks your face and finds that it is correct, you can then get the right to go into the places or to do something.
However, is there any way to fool the facial recognition system The answer is yes. Although it is an amazing technology, it sometimes doesn’t work. The following are some examples.
47 ．What can we know about facial recognition technology from Paragraph 2
A ．It helps us a lot in our lives. B ．It helps us go anywhere fast.
C ．It lets stores make more money. D ．It is the most useful technology worldwide.
48 ．What did Apple use to open the smartphone immediately in 2017
A ．A special key. B ．A set of numbers.
C ．Special patterns. D ．Facial recognition technology.
49 ．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A ．The camera.
C ．The smartphone.
B ．The information of the face.
D ．The right place.
50 ．What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 4
A ．How the system works.
B ．How much the system costs.
C ．Why the system is so popular.
D ．How many faces the system checks.
51 ．Which of the following may the writer talk about in the following paragraph
A ．Why the technology is convenient.
B ．When and where the technology can’t work.
C ．How the technology becomes more popular.
D ．Who can make the most use of the technology.

Being green means protecting the environment in our daily life. The best way to do this is buying green products.
But how do we know if a product is really green We need to think about everything of the product.
First, we should look at the materials of the products. Green products are made of natural materials. This is good for our health.
Second, where a product is made and where we buy it are also important. We should try to buy local products, especially food. We can order directly from local farmers. Buying from shops near our homes is also a good idea, because we can go there without driving a car.
Packaging (包装) is another thing we should think about. We should choose products that have glass, paper or other packaging that can be reused or recycled. We should also try to buy products that have less packaging or no packaging at all.
The greenest thing we can do is not to buy unnecessary products. We should only buy things we really need, like food and clothes. If we don’t need something, we should leave it in the shop. This saves money, reduces waste, and helps keep the planet healthy.
All in all, by buying green products, we can help make our planet a better place to live on.
52 ．According to Paragraph 1, what is the best way to be green
A ．To produce useful products. B ．To know how to be green.
C ．To shop for green products. D ．To recycle used products.
53 ．The writer suggests buying food near our homes because ________.
A ．it takes shorter time B ．it saves energy C ．the food is fresher D ．the food costs less

Looking at the undone homework on his desk always makes David Grey feel uncomfortable. David usually leaves his homework behind and surfs the Internet instead, waiting until the last minute. “But the longer I wait,” says David, aged 15, “the more I worry.”
Everyone procrastinates (拖延) because they want to feel good now. The way to do that is to avoid the task. You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even enjoyable tasks such as planning a vacation. Research has shown that the top tasks young people procrastinate are studying and going to bed. “One big cause for procrastination is that people are afraid of failure, of not meeting others’ expectations,” says Professor Peter Stone.
Some people believe that procrastination will make them thrive. But researchers disagree. “I did a study several years ago, asking procrastinators to finish a task in a certain period of time,” says Stone. “They did worse than non-procrastinators: they made more mistakes and they took longer. But they thought they did better.” Procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. For example, bedtime procrastination can lead to sleeplessness, which in turn can cause many other health problems.
For those who need some drives to stop procrastinating, the best advice might be to take action first. If you’ve been procrastinating on forming a habit of exercise, just put on your walking shoes. A little bit of progress will get you moving.
Next, find something to help you remember to take action. If you want to go to bed at 10:30 pm, you might set a timed dimmer switch (渐暗开关) at 10 pm. When the lights are dimmer, you’ll start going to bed. It works for most people.
Finally, reward ( 奖励) yourself every time you make progress. For example, after you’ve run 3 km, enjoy your favourite ice-cream. But be careful: it won’t work the other way around.
57 ．What is the main reason for people’s procrastination
A ．They want to avoid doing hard work.
B ．They fear to fail and let others down.
C ．They need to finish the top tasks first.
D ．They plan to do the enjoyable tasks last.
58 ．What does the underlined word “thrive” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A ．think faster B ．worry too much C ．give up more easily D ．work more successfully
59 ．What should David do if he wants to stop procrastinating on a wring task
A ．Put on some soft music to help think actively.
B ．Enjoy a favourite ice-cream, and then start writing.
C ．Search the Internet for enough ideas for a long time.
D ．Pick up a pen and write down possible starting sentences.
60 ．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage
A ．Explaining why people procrastinate.
B ．Telling readers what procrastination is.
C ．Showing the disadvantages of procrastination.
D ．Showing people how to stop procrastination.
61 ．What can be the best title of this passage
A ．A day of a procrastinator B ．Prognostication: yes or no
C ．Say goodbye to procrastination D ．Wan to feel good now Procrastinate!

Guess what Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and United States president Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Arabella Kushner, have in common They all study Chinese as a second language.
Although Chinese is known as one of the hardest languages to learn, a lot of people from different backgrounds are studying it with hopes of big advantages.
More than 120 people, representing 105 countries, had a competition in the finals of the 12th Chinese Bridge Chinese Proficiency Competition for foreign secondary school students on November 2. Held in Zhengzhou, Henan province, the finals included speech contests and talent shows. The contestants also visited the Shaolin Temple, Longmen Grottoes(石窟) and other places of interest.
While reasons for learning Chinese varied among contestants, a common one was enthusiasm( 热 情 ) for the country’s rich culture and rapid development.
Raissa, 17, from the Union of the Comoros, developed a strong emotional connection with China after her grandmother was cured by doctors of the Chinese medical team in Africa three years ago. This led her to learn

Have you ever thought about what kind of job you would like to have when you grow up Many people think that we can have only one job in our lifetime. We all know that this is not true, but quite a few people actually think this way. For example, when people choose a major in college, they think that the decisions they make now will decide their jobs for the rest of their lives. However, there are many examples where people became successful after changing their careers (职业) later in life.
J. K. Rowling (J.K.罗琳), writer of the famous novel Harry Potter, was actually a school teacher before she began writing books. In fact, she was out of work before the first Harry Potter book came out.
Former US President Ronald Reagan (罗纳德.里根)began as an actor when he was a young man. He later decided that he wanted to do political work. This kind of passion (激情) finally led him to become President of the United
States.
The famous 19th century artist Vincent Van Gogh (文森特 · 威廉 · 梵高) was not a painter from the beginning. He once worked as an art salesman and later became a preacher. It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist.
Careers are always open to change. The important thing is to find what you are really good at or what you really want to do. Once you find that passion, it’s all a matter of how hard you try.
66 ．The underlined word “major” in Paragraph 1 means ________ in Chinese.
A．专业 B．课程 C．班长 D．伙伴
67 ．How many jobs has Vincent Van Gogh done in his life

Do you know about Huaguxi It originated in Hunan Province. Some other provinces, like Hubei, Anhui, Henan, Shanxi, also have Huaguxi.
People could watch Huaguxi as early as the Qing Dynasty. At that time, most of the Huaguxi players were farmers. They wore colorful clothes and painted their faces. They always sang songs and danced along the streets to celebrate some special festivals. These players were popular with the people in the countryside.
During the early 19th century, there were only two roles in Huaguxi: chou and dan. Chou is a male clown(男丑角) and dan is a young girl. Both roles were played by men. In the 1860s, Huaguxi added a new role: sheng(a handsome young man). In the early 20th century, women began to play in Huaguxi.
The early Huaguxi lasted only 45 minutes to an hour. Most plays were about the life of the farmers. In the late 19th and 20th centuries, some Huaguxi performance groups moved to Changsha. There Huaguxi developed quickly. Now, Huaguxi has more roles and can last two to three hours. People can enjoy different kinds of stories.

An exhibition about the Grand Canal ended at the National Museum of China in Beijing on March 1st. The Grand Canal is more than 2,500 years old. It is made up of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Sui and Tang Grand Canal, and the Zhedong Canal. At nearly 3,200 kilometers long, it is the world’s longest man-made waterway. It has influenced the development of Chinese economics and culture for hundreds of years.
Before it was built, people in ancient China used horses and oxen, or simply traveled on foot, to trade goods. It was impossible to transport large-sized goods. After the Grand Canal connected the north and the south, business and cultural exchanges were able to develop further.
In fact, the Grand Canal played an important role in the building of the Forbidden City. Materials from different parts of the country were sent to Beijing through the canal, including bricks fired in Shandong and Jiangsu and wood cut in Hunan. People even owe the beginning of Beijing duck to the canal. White lake ducks in the south were shipped to Beijing. They were then kept to make Beijing duck. People from all walks of life preferred to get together along the canal. They shared their experiences, traditions and culture with others.

Do you help your parents with chores around the house Can you cook for your family
To stress the importance of hardworking spirit education among students of different ages, the Chinese government recently released a guideline. The guideline calls for students to respect (尊重) work. Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits, through such education.
The government has been trying to stress the importance of hardworking spirit education. But this has been overlooked (忽视)in recent years. Many teens do not value the importance of working hard and are uninterested in doing so.
According to a study of nearly 3,000 students that was done by Xiangyang Evening News in March, only 22 percent of primary and middle school students help with everyday chores around the house.

says.
Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also
