But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school. Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan. Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from the country. “Compared to traveling, such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are,” said Dalin, 18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high graduate, and her 12-year-old brother Xisolin came up with the idea. They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o’ clock. Some of them went to the farmer’s market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位). To lower the cost, they learned to bargain (讲价) with the sellers. At about 6:30 a.m., they began to sell vegetables. They peddled (吆喝) loudly to interest customers. After several days, they got some experience, too. For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When the vegetables were too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag. When they finally packed up and went home, they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings. “We are tired,” said Dalin, “but we gained a lot.” 21．Which activity is probably less popular among students during summer holiday? A．Traveling.

This happens a lot, especially when we go out to have dinner. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see whether we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal. Does that sound similar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you? A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, the less delicious the food seemed to them. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you? Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people. So, next time you eat out with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is, and share your life with people around you. Trust me, it will be a wonderful time. 26．What does the word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

However, this is not always true. For example, blind people cannot see, but they can still read books. The man who introduced blind people to reading was Louis Braille. Braille lost his eyesight at the age of three. When he was ten, he went to a school for the blind in Paris. In those days, books for blind people used paper pressed against metal wire to form letters. Since the metal wire was heavy, each book weighed as much as 100 pounds. Indeed, the school library only had fourteen such books in it. In 1821, a soldier（士兵）visited the school and showed the students a system （系统）for passing messages at night. His system used paper with small, raised dots that could be felt with the fingers. Each letter of the alphabet was symbolized by a different pattern which consisted of twelve dots. The soldiers would pull their fingers over the raised dots to read the message. While the students found the soldier’s idea interesting, the system was too difficult to be of practical use. However, young Louis Braille took the idea and worked on it. At the age of fifteen, he created a system with patterns of six raised dots symbolizing each letter. “Braille”, the system for reading used today by blind people around the world, was thus born. The blind can easily recognize（辨别）Braille with their fingers. They can also easily write in Braille with a special typewriter. Today, it is the most common system used by blind people for reading and writing, and nearly every language, including Chinese, has its own version（版本）of Braille for its people to use. 66．Who introduced blind people to reading? 67．When did a soldier visit the school and show the students a system? 68．How old was Louis Braille when he created a system? 69．How can Chinese blind recognize “Braille”? 70．What do you think of Louis Braille? 第二节 书面表达（共1题，满分15分） 学校的英语校刊正在开展“畅享阅读”征文活动。请你围绕下面的三个问题，用英文写一篇短文投稿。 Why do you read?
