B Chinese calligraphy is an important part of traditional Chinese culture. Calligraphy started in China and spread to other parts of Asia with Chinese culture. It has a history of 4,000 to 5,000 years. Calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters (汉字) and rules of writing with a brush. When you practice calligraphy, it is important to pay attention to the changes of the strokes (笔画) and the spaces between characters. There are many famous calligraphers in history, such as Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing. Different calligraphy works can show different calligraphers’ feelings and personalities. Today, they can be seen on the walls of offices, shops, hotels and many other places. “If I live in China, I will become a calligrapher rather than a painter for sure,” the world-famous master of art, Picasso said. He fell in love with Chinese calligraphy as soon as he saw Zhang Daqian’s works. The tool for practicing calligraphy is calligraphy brushes. They are usually made from the hair of different animals. Practicing calligraphy takes a lot of time and many people take lessons to learn it. During the lessons, they can learn how to write different strokes of Chinese characters. If you’re interested in it, you may start practicing with a teacher right away. Calligraphy, an amazing traditional art form, shows the love that all Chinese people have for culture and beauty. Chinese people of all ages practice calligraphy often, not to be a calligrapher, but to enjoy the peaceful mind. 26. What do we need to pay attention to when we practice calligraphy?

Don’t worry if we haven’t learned well how to save or spend money. The following life lessons about money can help us form good spending habits. Money doesn’t grow on trees. As kids, we don’t often think about where money comes from. We need to know that our parents work hard to make money, and that it may be used up one day. Going to their workplaces to watch how they work is a great way to understand money is not that easy to make. We shouldn’t spend all our money in one go. It’s important for us to have a budget (预算) . In other words, we need to think about how much money we have and what we really want to spend it on. Realizing that our pocket money can’t cover everything we want, we should make smart spending choices. We should set a clear goal and watch our money grow. If we wish to own a new bicycle but can’t afford it, we can save our pocket money. How? Write down how much money we have in a notebook and watch it grow. After we have enough, we can buy that wonderful bicycle we’ve dreamed about! Reaching our goal will greatly satiate us. We can talk with our parents about how money is used and where money goes. Do you know what a bank account (账户) is? If not, communicate with our parents. We can also go to the supermarket with our parents to experience how money is spent in the real world. Without doubt, we should treat money in a right way. Actually, learning about money isn’t a hard job. From these lessons, we can get a sense of money management and right money values step by step! 31. Where does money come from according to the text? A. Parents’ hard work. B. Kids’ life lessons. C.

Supermarkets will be places to change money. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Causes of Spending Money B. Ways of Managing Money C. Purposes of Treating Money D. Conditions of Saving Money D In my opinion, the wheel（轮子）is the most important thing that human beings have ever invented. It might seem strange to say that something so simple﹣looking and so common could be so important. 　36 Firstly，wheels influence almost every part of our lives. Wheels are used, for example, in clocks, machines and cars. If you visit just one factory, you will see how important wheels are. 　37 　 Secondly, wheels play a great part in food production. Wheels are used to grind（磨碎） different kinds of corn into flour（面粉）. 38　 We also need wheels to transport（运输）the wheat（小麦）. If we did not have the wheel, we would have much difficulty in food production. Thirdly, our world would be completely different if we did not have the wheel for transport. Before the wheel was invented, people used to have to travel on foot or by riding on an animal. They didn't know where to put their heavy bags. 　 39　 That is what we would be doing now if we did not have the wheel. Everything would take longer to do. We would be back to the Stone Age if the clever ancient people had not invented the wheel. Our modern world would simply be impossible. 　 40 　 A．It took long to finish their journeys. B．You will see wheels on almost every machine. C．The wheel is surely the most important invention of all time. D．They are then used to mix flour and other foods into bread. E．But if you consider the following points，you will probably agree with me. 36. _________ 37._________ 38._________ 39._________ 40._________ 三、完形填空（每小题1分，共15分） 阅读短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个能填入空白处的最佳选项。 In our life, nobody wants to lose, but we must accept that losing is a part of life. ____41____, we can’t win all the time.
