Running for fun
Running regularly helps us keep fit. That’s why millions of people run several days a week and take an active part in races.

A beautiful morning in a park
You will see in China big groups of people doing Tai Chi in public places, such as parks and squares. Tai Chi is a traditional sport widely spread(传播) in China.

For only 20 yuan, Fang Wenjing could buy her lunch at a community canteen (社区食堂) in Hangzhou. She had a meat dish, a vegetable dish and a bowl of rice—all very healthy. “The dishes have a home-cooked taste.” said Fang.
Community canteens have become more and more popular in China recently. They were made for the old people at first. It can be difficult for some old people to cook on their own, so the canteens offer help. They can have lunch and dinner within a 10-minute walk, or community workers can bring the dishes to them. Zhang Suxia, a worker at a community canteen in Hangzhou, said that the cooks made special meals for the old. The food is soft and has less oil.
Now, the community canteens are bringing in more young people. For those who don’t want to order takeout meals or eat at restaurants, they can have healthier and cheaper dishes in the canteens.
This also encourages community canteens to think of creative ways to serve food and make things easier for people. A canteen in Beijing’s Lugu Community brings out buffet-style (自助模式) dishes. The dishes are sold at 2.48 yuan per 100 grams. The price is lower than those of restaurants close by.
There wouldn’t be so many community canteens without the work of local governments. They give subsidies (补贴) for building the canteens as well as the dining cost of the old people. There are now more than 6,700 community canteens in China, according to Tianyancha.
26．Who were the community canteens first built for (不超过3词)
27．What is special about the food for the old according to Zhang Suxia (不超过8词)
28．Why do more and more young people turn to the community canteens (不超过12词)
29．How much should you pay if you buy 500 grams food in a canteen in Beijing’s Lugu Community (不超过2词)
30．How do the local governments help the community canteens (不超过3词)

Salt is important in life. It doesn’t just make our food delicious. It is also important in medicine and more.
Do you know how people found salt in early times They first followed animals to the salt resources (资源). Then, they started to live there. As time went by, people needed more salt. The salt resources were not enough to meet their needs. They had to buy salt from other places. So, salt became one of the world’s main commodities (商品).
China has a long history of using salt. And it is the first country to get salt from seawater in the world. In some stories, a man called Sushashi first boiled (煮沸) seawater to get salt. So, people in China call him “the father of salt”.
China has rich salt resources. Scientists agree that there are at least five kinds of salt in China. These kinds of salt are important for Chinese people’s life and the development of China.
Salt is also important in Chinese culture. Salt and the things like rice and tea make up the “seven necessary things of life”. Salty is one of the “five tastes”. And in Chinese culture, salt has good meanings. For example, people think of it as a symbol of purity (纯净) and luck. How interesting！

Have you ever tried paper folding (折纸) It is a popular activity for people of all ages. Many artists have been practising it for years, and some are even making a living out of their excellent paper folding skills.
As a big fan of paper folding, Jaeil Jeong knew nothing about it before his parents brought home a paper folding book. Young Jeong quickly took an interest in the creations inside and learned to fold some of them himself.
As a result, he found it so interesting that he decided to take it up as a hobby. At first, he copied designs (图样) he found in books and gradually made great progress. He was able to create his own designs at the age of ten. Today Jeong has become a master in paper folding.
For Jeong, paper folding is not just a hobby. It’s a great way to clear his mind. “Whenever I study for a test or search for a job, I make sure I have a piece of paper with me,” Jeong said. “There are moments when things don’t go my way—that’s when I prefer to take my paper out and begin to fold. My mind is clear as if I am meditating (冥想). It can really bring me lots of pleasure.”
52．How did Jaeil Jeong know about paper folding
53．When was Jaeil Jeong able to create his own designs
54．What does paper folding mean to Jaeil Jeong
55．Please describe one of your hobbies. Write 30 words or more.

Learn to Love Yourself
Do you ever compare yourself to other people and wish you could be more like them We are all different in our own way. Self-acceptance (自我接纳) can help you feel happier and better about yourself.
What is self-acceptance
Self-acceptance means learning to accept the things that make you who you are. As well as being thankful for what you’re good at, like sports, science or singing in the school choir, self-acceptance also means valuing (重视) the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly, like being forgetful or untidy. A 12-year-old girl, Lily, says self-acceptance means “knowing your own weaknesses and strengths (强项), and accepting who you are no matter what other people say or think.”
Why is self-acceptance good for you
When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. This makes you feel happier and more confident (自信的). The Anna Freud Centre, a charity (慈善机构) that helps young people, says everyone can feel that they have to be perfect, but that makes us forget about the little things that make us special, because we’re so busy trying to meet someone else’s standards. Learning to accept everything about yourself can also help you find what you’re really good at. For example, some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, but they might have strengths in other things, like finding good ways to work out problems.
5._________________________
Start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Also, try saying kind, happy things to yourself in a mirror (镜子) every morning. Think up ways to treat yourself, such as taking a long bath, watching your favorite film, or eating delicious ice-cream. But don’t forget it’s important to eat healthy food and get enough sleep.
56．Does self-acceptance help us feel happier
57．In Lily’s mind, what does self-acceptance mean
58．What are the advantages of self-acceptance
59．请在文中找出和下面这句话表达相似的句子
If you accept yourself, you will worry less about things that you can’t do.
60．What can you write on the line

Collecting things is a popular hobby. It includes coins, books, rocks, paintings and other beautiful things that bring happiness to their owners. Rocks such as beautiful stones and crystals (水晶) are things that when you see them you will feel relaxed and calm.
Then which rocks can you collect You can collect rocks depending on the color, shape, texture (地质) or anything that you find interesting. Many rock collectors try to collect all the related (相关) rocks from the area where they live. And others look for unusual rocks from places they visit.
But how to start rock collecting You can start with rocks you find in your own backyard or neighborhood. Search for stream (溪流) beds where unusual rocks can be seen. Finding unusual rocks is a special thing for rock collectors. So the first place you might search for rocks is right around your home. So you might be surprised at the interesting rocks you can find right in your own backyard. Construction sites (建筑工地) can also be great places for finding unusual rocks because machines often bring rocks that are deep under the ground into sight. If you do visit a construction site, always go with an adult to make sure you stay safe.
Once you begin to collect rocks, you need some necessary tools for collecting rocks , such as a hammer (锤子), sunglasses, a watch, comfortable T-shirts and so on. Once you have prepared well, just go out and have a try.

There are many things people do every day. For example, adults must go to work. Children must go to school and do homework. There are times when we do not want to do these things. So, it is important to understand what motivates (激励) us.
Some think money will motivate people. Others might think rewards (奖励) are good. However, when the money or rewards go away, the motivation is gone, too.
What is a good way to motivate people First, giving people a purpose works well. A purpose is one’s reason for doing things. An adult’s purpose for working could be because working helps his or her family. A person who cannot find a purpose for a job will not want to do it.
Second, people are motivated by feelings because feelings can be strong. For example, love will motivate parents to do things for their children. Being afraid of not getting a good grade may motivate a student to study. If a person is interested in doing a job, he or she will be motivated to do that job.
If we can motivate ourselves through purpose and feelings, then our jobs will be more fun and interesting.
71．Why isn’t giving money or rewards a good way to motivate people

79 It’s important to stay out of the sun during the day. Make a hole under your car and lie there. This will keep you cool and help you sleep. Find a warm place to sleep at night. A small place near a tree or a rock will be the warmest. But be careful before you decide where to sleep. Dangerous animals like snakes also like to sleep in these places.

Merchants (商家) often fill the box with random (随机的) toys from movies and cartoons (漫画). Many people like to buy them to find out what’s inside.

Yes—a bath washes the mind and body
Baths are about much more than cleanliness. They are places to relax and you can think about the coming day so that you can plan tomorrow well there. You will have to do nothing in a bath but read or eat if you want. Most people have been used to bathing since they were born. For the first few years of a person’s life, they are bathed before bed,not showered.
No—showers are quick and cheap
The cost of baths is more than that of showers. Experts recently worked out that a year of two baths a day costs 438 but a year of two showers a day costs just 161. Baths are more expensive. Showers are better for the environment because they use less water and energy. What’s more, showers are efficient when you don't have much time in the morning.

Nowadays, many people want to search for dazi (搭子) or partners for doing many things. Everyone has his or her own opinion. In some ways, finding dazi is a new form of social contact for young people.
Unlike friendship, the idea of dazi is simple—people with the same interest come together to do things. From eating to studying, working or even going to the toilet. It helps people find the person with the same hobbies and doesn’t take people too much time.
A girl called Mu Qing, a high school student from Hangzhou, enjoys talking with her meal dazi when she is having lunch. “We love to share our ideas on the food. ” said the girl, “If my meal dazi doesn’t come to school one day, I will be upset.”
“Traditional friendship needs a lot of time and emotion (情感) to keep, while having dazi means not needing to worry about it.” said another girl. She can feel relaxed and then focus more on study.
People sometimes find dazi on the Internet to work together, like playing games. Some people may put on fake masks (假面具) and lie on the Internet. For example,a young and beautiful girl on the Internet maybe an old and heavy man in real life. Therefore, think twice when finding dazi.
A．Having a dazi is a relaxing way for her.
B．Dazi can appear in many different ways in daily life.

It can be really awkward (尴尬的) if someone sees you talking to yourself. But don’t feel bad about it! Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits.
You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us do things like making plans and managing our feelings. Speaking the thoughts out loud to yourself is like showing this quiet inner (内在的) speech. It can help you do better in different areas like study, sports and work.
What can you say to yourself
What’s my schedule for today
This task is so hard!
I’ve got to stay focused and get this done!
Wow, the sunset is so beautiful!
When encouragement comes from oneself, self-talk adds to self-confidence (自信). A study invited 72 tennis players to take part in some matches. Researchers put the players into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than those in the silent group.
Talking to yourself, especially in the third person (第三人称), can also help you deal with bad feelings. “Referring to (指代) yourself in the third person leads people to think about themselves more similar to how others think about themselves,” said Jason Moser, a professor from Michigan State University, the US. This can help you see things from a different point of view, especially when you’re feeling sad or angry.
Self-talk also helps improve memory. Those who read out loud recalled (记起) the information best, which researchers said in their study published (发布) in the journal Memory. It’s because the information is likely to become a long-term memory if it is said out loud.
Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of one’s reading.

I watched for a long time but I didn’t see anyone. I went back to my tent and tried to sleep. I didn’t feel safe any more.The next day I went exploring. I kept my gun with me all the time. After a while I saw a fire through the trees. I went up to it very slowly and very quietly. A man was lying on the ground near the fire. He was asleep but there was a blanket over his head so I couldn’t see his face. I hid behind a bush and waited. I had to wait for a long time and it was starting to get dark when the man finally woke up. He stood up and took off the blanket. It was Jim, Miss Watson’s slave! I jumped out and ran up to him.
“Jim!” I said. “It’s me, Huck!”
“Huck! Is it really you ” Jim said, with a big smile.
“Yes, Jim, and I’m really happy to see you. But what are you doing here ”
“Well, alright then. The other day a businessman from New Orleans came to the house. I knew that Miss Watson wanted to sell me. I was scared. Then I ran away and hid on the island.”
We sat there chatting for a long time. I liked talking to Jim because he knew a lot of things. He understood signs. He knew which ones meant good luck and which ones meant bad luck. He knew which signs meant bad weather, too. When he saw some birds flying low in the sky he said, “It’s going to rain later, Huck. We must find a dry place to make a camp.”
The next day we climbed to the top of a big hill in the middle of the island and found a cave in the rock.
“This is a good place,” Jim said. “Let’s make our camp here!”
