When you go on holiday, where do you like to stay Do you like the luxury (奢华) of a five-star hotel, or do you like the freedom of sleeping under the stars If you haven’t tried the latter (后者), maybe you should join the growing number of people and enjoy the simple pleasures of camping.
By picking up your tent and some other living things, it’s easy to go up to the countryside and enjoy a night or two in the open air. Many campers are just staying away from their modern and hectic life to do this. They say that a few peaceful nights in the faraway country might be a good way to relax and improve sleep and health. It is also, of course, a good cheap holiday choice.
Armed (配备) with just some food and a sleeping bag, people are free from rules, away from other people, and able to enjoy the back-to-basics time. One wild camper said, “The act of sleeping—when everybody else has gone home but you notice the wild and stars—is one of the best things in life.”
Now as more and more people join in camping, sales of camping gear (装备) have jumped, such as stoves, cool boxes and camping chairs. With these useful things like stoves, and easy-to-cook food, you can make sure of having a comfortable and enjoyable camping. So when the weather is good, maybe it’s time to give camping a try.
63. The underlined word “hectic” in paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. busy B. calm C. slow D. happy
64. From the passage we can infer that ________.
A. people can go out camping whenever they like
B. the life in the country is better than that in a city
C. nobody likes to live in a comfortable but expensive hotel
D. more people would like to go a little far from home on holidays
65. What would be the best title for this passage
A. Living a Simple Life B. Pleasures Must Always Be Simple
C. Keeping Free from Rules D. Camping Can Be So Much Fun
D
I grew up in the countryside. It helped me learn more life skills than my peers (同龄人) who grew up in cities. I learned to cook at the age of 10. The first skill I had was making dumplings. Later, I cooked other dishes. I fell in love with cooking. It’s a good way to relax. Now living alone, I cook every meal instead of ordering delivery (外卖). It saves money and I don’t have to wait for delivery drivers to feed me.
Besides (除了) cooking, I did a lot of farm work in my childhood. I got to know how to plant vegetables. Though it was hard work, the experience taught me things that many of my peers still don’t know. They thought it was a pity that they didn’t have the chance (机会) to learn these things in their lives. Some might say we can learn these things from textbooks. But it can’t compare to the joy of watching plants grow. You’ll value (重视) everything on your plate.
This may be why I’m so happy to hear that labor (劳动) education will be required (要求) in China. Students in primary and middle schools will have at least one class every week to learn some life skills like cooking and cleaning. Trust me. These life skills will help you a lot.
66. Which is not the advantage (优点) of getting life skills for the writer
A. Becoming busier. B. Saving money. C. Relaxing. D. Valuing food.
67. How did the writer learn to plant vegetables
A. By discussing it with her peers. B. By learning it at school.
C. By doing it herself. D. By reading books about it.
68. Why is the writer happy to hear that labor education will be required in China
A. Because these life skills will help students a lot.
B. Because the life skills can bring good jobs to students.
C. Because she teaches students life skills in school.
D. Because it’s better to learn life skills in school than at home.
69. What is the best title (标题) for the text (文章)
A. What we can learn in villages B. How to plant vegetables
C. Life in Chinese villages D. The importance of labor education
E
Weekends, air conditioners (空调), takeouts (外卖) … These are common things for modern people. Have you ever wondered whether ancient people enjoyed the same lifestyle
No weekends
In ancient China, there were no “weekends” because people did not use a weekly calendar. But they could still relax after work. For example, officials (官员) usually worked for 10 days and rested for one day. This day was called xiumu.
There were many public holidays in ancient times for common people to rest, such as the Spring Festival, winter solstice (冬至) and Mid-Autumn Festival. People even had days off for the emperor’s (皇帝的) birthday.
Smart ways of staying cool
In ancient times, ______. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, people collected ice in winter. When summer came, people took the ice out and used them. The “bingjian” was a type of ancient fridge. People would put drinks inside and the drinks would become colder. There was a kind of pillow (枕头) made of china that felt pleasantly cool. People also wove bamboo into bed mats (垫子) to sleep on.
Takeouts not a new thing
The takeout is not a new thing. According to history books, Eanperor Xiaozong asked his men to go out to pick up dishes.
Common people also ordered takeouts. Restaurant waiters would go out into the streets and tell customers which dishes could be ordered.
People even had good tools to carry takeout dishes. They have several layers (层) plates made of two layers of china. Hot water could be put between them to keep dishes warm.

阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。
About 2300 years ago, the area around Chengdu had bad floods (洪水) in spring every year. Luckily, the Qin governor (太守), Li Bing, was a water engineer. The king of Qin provided the money and asked the governor to solve the problem.
The usual method to avoid flooding is to build a wall across the river, called a dam. However, the king had also asked Li Bing to make sure that ships could still use the river because the king needed to send food to his army. So Li Bing studied the situation and came up with a plan—a plan that still works today!
Helped by his son, and tens of thousands of workers from the area, Li Bing built a man-made island in the middle of the river. This island was shaped like a fish and it divided the water into an inner river (内河) and an outer river. The inner river was deeper than but not as wide as the outer river. It took four years to build the island. Li Bing also cut a new channel (运河) through Mount Yulei. This channel would take water away to irrigate (灌溉) the land in the flat farmland below. The rock of the mountain was very hard and difficult to cut. Cutting the channel took eight years!
After Li Bing’s work was finished, there were no more floods, and the Dujiangyan irrigation system (灌溉系统) allowed the farmers to grow more and more food. Today, scientists and visitors from all over the world come to look at this wonderful example of engineering. This work and the name of Li Bing live on.

Doing housework is so great!
I’m a 14-year old middle school student. I am happy to share my own ideas about doing housework with you.
I think doing housework is necessary and meaningful, which makes me happy and more responsible. I often do housework, such as making the bed, washing the dishes and taking out the rubbish. Sometimes I also sweep the floor to make our house a clean place.
In my opinion, we must share the housework. First of all, we can’t depend on our parents forever. Therefore, doing housework can make us independent when we grow up. What’s more, sharing the housework is helpful for us to build a good relationship with our parents. Besides, I think trying to do some housework can also keep us healthy and strong. So it is necessary for us to do housework at home in our free time.
