I’m very glad to receive your email. As we all know, the April 23rd is World Book Day and it

I love reading. I like novels best because I find them really exciting. My favourite book is
Treasure Island. It tells the story of a young boy who sailed the sea to look for hidden treasure. The
story gives me much confidence. I usually spend more than three hours reading a week. I read a lot
on weekends.
I get most of my books from Sunshine Library. It’s just opposite my home. And my parents
often buy books for me as presents.
Reading is fun. Good books are good friends. They also open up a whole new world to me.
I hope everyone can build a good reading habit and enjoy reading books.
Yours,

A
During ancient times, children didn’t have smart phones, iPads or computers to have fun. Instead,
they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood. Let’s take a look.
Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood.
Now in China, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite
and Weifang kite, each of which has its own characteristic.
Diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and is hollow（空心的）in
the center. When juggled（抛接）on ropes, the high-speed rotating（旋转的）
diabolo will make a sound. Playing diabolo is a very interesting game.
The closest thing to watching a film or television during ancient times
was watching a shadow play. People control puppets behind the screen while
singing with music to tell a story. Shadow play was listed as a national
intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）in 2006.
Firecrackers have a history of more than 2,000 years. It is said that
people burnt bamboo joints to make it blast（爆炸）to drive away the beast
named Nian in ancient China. Firecrackers are still set off during Spring
Festival to symbolize（象征）hope and luck.
51.What were earliest kites made of
A. Bamboo. B. Paper. C. Cloth. D. Wood.
52. When was shadow play listed as a national intangible cultural heritage
A. In 2000. B. In 2001. C. In 2006. D. In 2016.
53.Why are firecrackers still set off during Spring Festival

How far will you go when strangers ask you for help For Mr. Cheng, an old security guard at Hangzhou Dianzi University, the answer is 17 years and 100,000 yuan.
One night in September 2005, a man and his kid got out of a taxi and came to Cheng. The father said that
his kid was a freshman (大一新生) at the university and that 6,000 yuan they had was stolen. He asked if Cheng
could help them by paying the taxi driver. “Of course,” Cheng replied. It was 68 yuan.
Several days later, he heard some stories about the kid he had helped. The kid had worked hard to get into
the university. He was poor, and his parents had borrowed 6,000 yuan for his college education.
However, since the money was gone, the kid would probably drop out.
Cheng decided to help again. He wasn’t rich, but he paid 6,000 yuan for the kid’s education (教育) and didn’t tell it to anyone. Cheng also took out a few hundred yuan every month and sponsored (资助 ) the kid
英语试卷 第 4页（共 8 页）
through college. In the following years, he also sponsored another five students, but these stories about him were
never known by others until recently.
The greatest thing about people like Cheng isn’t what they do or how much they have; it’s how much they
want to help and how far they want to go although they don’t have much to give.
