It was a normal day in Altitude, a town high in the mountains. People were going about their daily routines, not knowing the disaster that was soon to come. Suddenly, the ground under their feet began to shake. Then people were thrown off their feet and objects flew off shelves. The sound of breaking glass and falling buildings filled the air.
Alice, a young girl who was in her house when the earthquake struck, knew she had to act fast. She got her emergency kit, which included food, water, and a first— aid kit, and ran out of the house.
The streets were messy. Traffic lights were out, cars were overturned, and people were running in fear. Alice knew she had to get to higher ground. She headed for the nearest hill, joining a group of other people. As they reached the top, the full force of the earthquake hit, but Alice and the others managed to stay on top of the hill.
After what seemed like a century, the earthquake finally stopped. Alice looked down at the town she had called home. It was in ruins. Houses were destroyed, roads were cracked open, and a large crack had formed in the middle of the town square.
Alice knew she had to help. She joined hands with other survivors and they began the rescue effort. With simple tools and their bare hands, they dug through the stones and bricks to find anyone who might be trapped inside. In the following days, Alice and the other survivors worked tirelessly to help, providing food, water, and medical aid to those in need. With the help of rescue teams and volunteers from around the country, they slowly but surely began to rebuild their town.

The endangered pandas in Qinling Mountains might face a new threat: the loss of their food bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals.
Adult pandas spend most part of the day eating bamboo and have to take in at least 40 pounds a day to stay healthy. However, a new study published in Nature and Climate Change warned that they may soon find their food gone because most of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains might disappear by the end of the century as a result of rising temperature worldwide.
A team made up of researchers from Michigan State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has studied the effects of climate change on the bamboo in Qinling Mountains. They have found that bamboo is very sensitive to climate changes. “80% to100% of the bamboo would be gone if the average temperature increases 3.5 degrees worldwide by the end of the century.” said Liu Jianguo, one of the report’s authors. He added, “This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in the Paris Agreement. But you know what is happening around the world.”
In recent years, China has been trying its best to protect the endangered pandas by setting up more and bigger natural reserves.
“But it is far from being enough and the endangered pandas need cooperation from the rest of the world, because their future is not just in the hands of the Chinese, ” said Shirley Martin from World Wildlife Fund but not a member of the team.
The Qinling Mountains, in the southwest of China, are home to about 260 pandas. That is about 13% of the China’s wild panda population. In addition, about 375 are living in research centers and 7oos in China.
8.Which can be the best title for the text
A.Necessity to Change Pandas’ Food B.A New Thrcat Faced by the Pandas
C.The Disappearance of Bamboo D.Efforts Made to Save Pandas
9.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.Pandas have already eaten 99% of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains.
B.Pandas in Qinling Mountains are just threatened by the loss of food.
C.Lots of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains will possibly disappear.
D.Qinling Mountains cannot provide enough bamboo for the pandas.
10.What does Liu Jianguo mean
A.Bamboo is sensitive to the changes of temperature.
B.China needs more help from World wildlife Fund.
C.China is making great efforts to protect the pandas.
D.It is difficult to control the temperature rise within 3.5 degrees.
11.How many wild pandas are there in China
A.About 2,000. B.About 635.
C.About 260. D.About 2,635.Handwritten

Sports play a key role in the physical and mental development of children. Although it’s great to see a child succeed in one sport, it’s important to keep their activities in balance. Participation in multiple sports enables children to acquire a knowledge of many movement skills. In addition to this, here are some other good reasons why kids should be encouraged to play several sorts of sports.
Repetitive movements can overstress growing bodies which later on can lead to injuries. With multi-sports, each sport works the body slightly differently. This will lead to fewer overuse injuries. Also, kids who overspecialize in one sport may end up losing interest and eventually give up. Specializing in a sport raises expectations and may put too much pressure on young kids. Having a variety of experiences will keep children interested and motivated, and even make them enjoy sports without any pressure.
Multi-sports also allow kids to experience different roles. Being a goalkeeper in a football team is very different from being a point guard in basketball. Being exposed to baseball develops better hand-eye coordination(协调). Soccer develops better footwork(步法). Volleyball develops jumping and hand-eye coordination. Martial arts develop strength, mobility, and discipline. Swimming develops full-body coordination and strength. The list goes on and on! Participation in multiple sports broadens a child’s developmental social, and situational experience. It opens up opportunities to become a better competitor and a promising athlete - flexible and energetic.
Many sports superstars like Stephen Curry achieved their standing today by playing multiple sports. Curry played basketball but he also played baseball, football, soccer, and everything else in a sports buffet. What worked for Curry, experts say, could work for most of us.
Besides developing a wide range of sports skills, more importantly, multi-sports provide opportunities for children to discover their liking. With the help of the right coaches, sports become fun, inspiring kids’ interests. So if you can’t decide whether your child should focus on one sport or try some different sports, I hope you can make a better decision now.
12.What will happen to kids if they do one sport repeatedly
A.They can be more likely to get injured. B.They can spare more time to study.
C.They can be skilled at the sport early. D.They can stay more focused.
13.What’s implied about multi-sports in Paragraph 3
A.They inspire kids’ sporting spirit.
B.They help kids develop their special talents.
C.They help promote kids’ all-round development.
D.They have much higher requirements for kids.
14.What does the author want to express in the last paragraph
A.Children should turn their interests into professions.
B.Sports skills make kids more popular at school.
C.Parents should lower their expectations for kids.
D.Multi-sports help kids find their favorite sports.
15.What is the text mainly about
A.How sports benefit kids. B.Why kids should try multi-sports.
C.What sports children should try. D.Why multi-sports are popular today.
