第三节 听短文，根据短文内容选择正确答案。短文该两遍。
When I was a child, I used to go to my grandparents' house in the mountains with my parents. We lived in the city then and we visit-ed them every year. We didn't have a car at that time, so we traveled by bus. It always took a long time. We didn't go there in winter,because there was too much snow. I loved helping my grandfather in his garden, although I dislike gardening now. He never used to have a machine, so we had to cut grass by hand. It was hard but I used to enjoy it. I still live in the same city, but I don't go to the mountains any more. My grandparents don't live there any longer, because they went to live in a large town five years ago. Now I usu-ally visit them in summer.

六、书面表达
One possible version:
As students, we face much pressure from study. I used to stay at home and do too much homework at the weekend. I felt tired. However,things have changed since the "double reduction"policy appeared. There is less homework and more colourful after-school activities now.
Last Saturday, I joined in the reading project in our community. People of different ages sat around and began to read Treasure Island together. Then I shared my views about the book and listened to other people's ideas. From the reading project, I learned to calm down my mind and think about my future direction. Besides, I felt relaxed after that.
I think weekend activities are more interesting, meaningful and useful. They not only enrich our experiences but also help us to think critically.
