Don’t choose the sight we can see in other places. For example, Beidaihe, Qingdao and Zhuhai are coastal (沿海的) cities. Don’t only take photos of the sea. You should take photos of something else. ________ Don’t buy the food that you like most because you can buy it in your city or town. You’d better taste something special in that area.

She turns life into her work. “Every Sunday I think about what to film for my videos,” says Jessii. “Then, on Monday, I wake up early to start making the videos. Usually, a video takes just over an hour to make. I try to make five, so it takes most of my day. Then, from Tuesday to Friday, I edit (编辑) them.” Sometimes when Jessii goes out, her fans recognize (认出) her. “The other day I went to a coffee shop,” she says, “and one girl working there saw me. She was so happy. She left the shop to meet me outside to take pictures. It always makes me happy to see my fans are happy. ” ★ Some people said that she has a big face and a really thin mouth. In the past, Jessii felt bad when people said those negative (负面的) things about her. But now she thinks differently. “People were talking about things that I can’t change (改变) .

C I’m the mother of a five-year-old boy. “Mommy, where are you going?” Dave asks me when I am putting on my running shoes on a cold Sunday morning. “Go running.” I say, “Why?” He asks me in surprise. He is only five, but it is a question that I can’t easily answer. I often ask myself, “Cathy, why do you go running?” I don’t know, but something lets me go. So I say to Dave, “Something lets me go.” The truth (事实) is that just before you run, it’s still difficult to explain (解释) to someone why you run. Of course, some people run to Jose weight (减肥) or to be healthy, and these are good reasons. Running is difficult. That’s because you need to persist every day. However, running is also easy to do. It’s cheap, and you can do it whenever you want. There are over two million (百万) people in England running at least once a week. I’m one of those two million runners. I go running not to lose weight or to be healthy. I run five kilometers every morning. After that I feel great, and it’s easy for me to do the other things. After my busy work, I usually go out to run, and I think it is the most wonderful time in a day. I love running and I will keep running. I hope more people love to run every day. 41. Dave is ________. A. a runner B. Cathy’s son C. a teacher D. Cathy’s friend 42. Which of the following CANNOT describe running according to the writer? A. Easy. B. Popular. C. Funny. D. Cheap. 43.

Cathy runs five kilometers every morning. 45. Which would be the best title for the passage? A Mom and Son B. How to Lose Weight C. Go Running D.

The movie is adapted from a famous Chinese fairy tale. Different from the previous versions, this movie adopts a unique way to unfold the story. The theme of the film is the main character Nezha’s growth story of fighting against his own destiny. Apart from the fantastic scenes, many inspiring lines like “I’m the master of my own destiny” impress the audiences greatly. In my view, the film is not only thought-provoking but also reflects people in real life who hold their destiny in their own hands and stick to their dreams. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
