四、阅读理解

Today we can get news from TV or the Internet, but how did ancient people get news
At the very beginning, information spread by word of mouth. People living in groups got news from neighbours or travellers. Ancient Romans(罗马人) changed the way people knew about their communities. They posted a list of daily happenings at public squares in the cities.
The 15th century saw big progress in printing(印刷) technology in the West. The progress brought a sudden rise in news business. In the 16th century, the first real newspapers appeared. People started to develop the habit of reading newspapers. The invention of telegraph(电报) machines led to another big step in history. News stories were sent to the papers in minutes instead of weeks.
Now we get news in seconds from all over the world. We can become some kind of reporters by posting online what happens around us.

Sugar Figure(糖人) In the old days, you could always find people making sugar figures at the school gate. First, the maker would take a little maltose(麦芽糖) with a small spoon, using his hands to make a figure, such as the Monkey King and the White Horse. It was not expensive, only 1 yuan for one.
Dada Bubble Gum(泡泡糖) Almost every kid likes bubble gum. They often get together to see who gets the largest bubble. I still remember my cousin once blew a big bubble and then it broke, covering her face with gum! It was cheap. I could get 2 for 1 yuan.
Baby Face Ice Cream We prefer to call it Snowman Ice Cream. It tastes very delicious. It was rather expensive. I remember the price was 2 yuan for each piece, which was not easy for me to buy them those days.

阅读理解(2023南宁一模)
One warm afternoon, the grandmother and her granddaughter were sitting together in the garden, talking. The girl looked at her white-haired grandmother and asked, “Grandmother, are you afraid to leave this world？”
The grandmother smiled at the girl, “I'm not afraid to leave, because I've had a colourful life.” Then she told the girl some of her experiences, looking at a rose in the distance.
