On the top of the hill above the tunnel, they stop to look down at the railway line. They can see the cherry trees from there. “Look!” says Peter pointing at the trees on the opposite side of the line. “They’re moving!” It’s true! The trees are moving slowly down the hill on a big piece of rock. The next moment there’s a loud CRASH as the rock and the trees fall on the line below in a big cloud of dust. “The 11:29 is coming! We must stop it before it gets here!” says Peter. “Let’s run to the station and tell the station master!” says Bobbie , starting to go. Peter looks at Mother’s watch. “No! There isn’t time,” he says. “We must do something to stop it. What a pity! We haven’t got anything red!” “But we have!” says Bobbie, “Phyllis and I are wearing our red petticoats (衬裙) today!” They quickly take them off and then they all run down the hill. “We must make some flags,” says Peter taking the girls’ petticoats. “Go and find six long sticks!” Peter tears the petticoats into six pieces and ties them to the sticks. They start waving their flags and shouting, but the train doesn’t slow down. “It’s no good!” shouts Bobbie. “They can’t see us!” She runs to the pile, takes one of the flags and stands on the line in front of the train.“Bobbie!” shouts Peter. “LEAVE THE LINE!” But Bobbie stays on the line and waves her two flags very hard at the train. The big black engine gets nearer and nearer to Bobbie. Her arms are tired, but she doesn’t stop waving her flags. “STOP! STOP!” she shouts.

It was a lovely old house by the river with beautiful gardens. “There’s Toad Hall,” said Rat. “Toad is very rich, you know.” Rat and Mole found Toad in the garden. He was looking at a big map. “Mole and Rat!” he cried. “Oh! It’s great to see you! And you can help me—it’s very important.” “Do you want help with your boat?” asked Rat. “Boat? Oh, no!” said Toad. “Boats are stupid (愚猛的)! I hate boats. I have a new thing now. Come and see.” Ratand Mole went with Toad to the back of the house.

It’s ready for our journey this afternoon.” “What?” said Rat. “Our journey and this afternoon?” “Now, Rat,” said Toad, “please, please come with me!

At the crossings, now street art is making cities beautiful and safe. The Asphalt Art Initiative (沥青艺术倡议) helps to turn boring crossings into bright spaces. It also sets up clubs to ask artists and volunteers (志愿者) to paint on the streets together. We believe that street art can make the dangerous crossings not dangerous at all. It really did! The paintings are really colorful. It is difficult for drivers to miss them. They can see the paintings far away from the crossing, and then slow down when they come near it. A study shows that at the crossings with street art in the US, there are fewer accidents. This kind of art becomes more and more popular. Till 2022, there were 42 Asphalt Art Initiative projects in America, and 3 pilot (试点的) projects in Europe (欧洲). In fact, 19 other European cities are also planning to make some changes in the near future. The Asphalt Art Initiative wants to do this around the world.

Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a “u”? Is it because they are lazy? Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was started by a teacher named Noah Webster. He changed English to make American identity (特征) stronger. After the Revolutionary War (独立战争), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary and that they shouldn’t rely on British ones. He took away the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded. He used “subway” instead of (代替) British word “underground”. Some other words are “soccer” and “football”, “fall” and “autumn”. Webster spent 28 years finishing the 70,000-word dictionary with his American-style spellings in 1828. He also brought in local words. Most American schools use his dictionary. People believe it helped a new country get unity (统一) and cultural independence (文化独立) . “He was the maker of our language and the maker of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is writing a book about Webster. “He at last brought us together through our language.” 16.

Its words are in American-style spelling. 18. What does the underlined phrase “rely on” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. 改革 B. 依赖 C. 容忍 D. 放弃 19 What do people think of Webster’s dictionary? A It is only a dictionary that Americans still use today. B. It brought Americans together through language and culture. C. It wasn’t popular among Americans or Englishmen. D. It made American English more useful than British English. 20. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. British English disappeared (消失) after the Revolutionary War. B.

B Do you want to live a happier life? Try laughing for no reason. That’s how millions of people start their day at Laughter Yoga (瑜伽) Clubs around the world, and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Yoga Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” said Dr Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” A 5-year study in California shows that laughter can alleviate stress in our body and improve our health. So, what is Laughter Yoga? I went to my nearest Laughter Yoga Club to find out. I was quite nervous at first, because I thought laughing with a group of strangers could make me look silly. Our laughter teacher told us to clap (拍) our hands and say, “ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” He said our bodies couldn’t tell the difference between fake (假的) laughter and real laughter, so they both worked. Ten minutes later, everybody in the room was laughing for real. At the end of the class, I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. As Dr Kataria said, “When you laugh, you change, and when you change, the world changes around you.” So if you’re under stress, just start laughing. 6. What can we infer (推断) from Paragraph 1? A.
