In the summer of 2017, she met an old woman lying on the seat of the hospital hall. The old woman told Chang her grandson was in hospital. She lay there just to save money. As a result, Chang built the “home” across from Xi’an Children’s Hospital.

With the help from the government and all social parts, the “home” not only shows material (物质的) help, but also has activities to teach parents what to do. Later, parents of many sick children join Chang’s “Xinyu volunteer team”. They take care of children and join in all kinds of activities.

Travel is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you are going to get when using a mystery (神秘) box plane ticket.
Earlier this year, many young people in China have become interested in mystery box travel. Usually, people plan their journeys well ahead. But with a mystery box, travelers pay a low price, usually 100 or 200 yuan. Then, they will choose their leaving airport and have a list of destinations (目的地) to choose from. Once the destination is decided, their trip begins.
A young man called Cheng dreams of going on a mystery box trip, saying that going out alone usually costs too much and that too many people don’t know where to go. But the mystery box directly shows a few destinations, making it both exciting and affordable.
Unlike Cheng, Liao Liangyu, 16, has made his dream to go on a mystery box trip come true. He and his friends bought mystery box tickets months ago, and they all got the mystery box ticket to Changsha, the capital city of Hunan province.
Since the destinations include many less popular cities, travel mystery boxes also bring many advantages to these destinations. For example, Dehong City in Yunnan province wasn’t well-known, but after being in mystery box choices, it got attention and became a popular tourist place.
53．What does Cheng think of traveling alone
A．Lonely. B．Exciting.
C．Expensive. D．Interesting.
54．How did Liao Liangyu choose Changsha as his travel destination
A．By pointing to the map. B．By following his friend’s advice.
C．By planning well ahead. D．By picking from a list of choices.

C．Less pollution. D．Cheaper food.

Can you imagine a sea of sand three times bigger than India This is the Sahara Desert（撒哈拉沙漠）. It covers 11 countries in North Africa and is over 9 million square kilometers. That’s more than 25% of Africa.
In the Sahara, temperatures are very different during the day and at night. During the day, the hottest time is between 2 pm and 4 pm, when temperature rises to 33℃. But it is very cold at night—the coldest time is at 4 am, when temperatures fall to -1℃. The Sahara is very dry. The average precipitation（降水）in a year is only 70 millimeters.
Because of the extreme temperatures in this desert, it is a very difficult place to survive. Marco Rivera has some tips.
Take warm clothes and a blanket（毯子）. During the day, cover your body, head and face. Clothes protect you from the sun and keep water in your body. You will also need a warm blanket at night. It can get cold very quickly. When the temperature drops, it can be a shock and make you feel even colder.
You can use your car tires（轮胎）to make a fire. A fire is easy to see. It will help people find you and it will keep you warm at night.
Try to drink some water once every hour. You need your water to last as long as possible. Drink only what you need. When you talk, you lose water from your body. Keep your mouth closed and do not talk.
If you eat, you will get thirsty and drink all of your water more quickly. You can eat a little, but only to stop you from feeling very hungry. Eat very small amounts of food and eat very slowly. You can live for three weeks with no food, but you can only live for three days without water.

B．his own experience in surviving in the Sahara Desert
C．another tip on how to save water and food in the Sahara Desert
D．his good wishes for those who want to take a risk in the desert

Have you ever heard of “Da Zi” friendship “Da Zi” means a casual (随意的) friendship. 61 When you want to eat or shop with someone, but not share your deepest secrets with him or her, “Da Zi” can be the best for you.

What should we do then 64 If you’re really sad about a lost friend, you can try to talk to them and ask them about it. If someone does not want to be your friend anymore, that is just his or her choice (选择). Also, it might be better to just have a few close friends. 65
