We all know pigs spend a large amount of time eating. As a result, many pigs are fat. In English, we use the idiom “eat like a pig” to describe people who eat a lot. But it can be rude to use this idiom. Another interesting idiom to learn is “lipstick (口红) on a pig”. While you think this expression describes a beautiful thing, the opposite is true. We use this idiom to say that no matter how well we decorate an ugly product, it is still ugly. Even the most expensive lipstick cannot fix it! “Pigs might fly” is an idiom widely used in daily life. It’s used to show that you do not believe something will ever happen. For example, Rick has been smoking for twenty years. Once he said he would give it up. His friends all laughed and said, “Yes, and pigs might fly.” The last idiom we are going to learn is “guinea pig” (豚鼠). The guinea pig is actually not a pig. It is a rat that has short legs and no tail. Many children keep the animal as a pet. But if we say someone is used as a guinea pig, it means new ideas. methods or medical treatments are tested on them. 9. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Pig Idioms. B. Year of the Pig. C. Different Pig. D. Habits of the Pig. 10. It’s ________ to use the idiom “eat like a pig” to describe people who eat a lot. A. wonderful B. fantastic C. polite D. impolite 11.

While most of the new technologies are far away from us, some around us can help people in disasters. ②The drone (无人机) is one of them. It can be used to send food and water when a natural disaster happens. Very often the buildings are too dangerous for rescue (救援) teams to get in. They can make the drone fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive first They are also becoming a useful tool for firefighters, helping them find and fight wildfires. In some faraway places in the world, drones are the fastest way to send medicine to people who are in great need of it. ③. Social media is also a useful tool when it comes to natural disasters.

According to the information of 2F, which of the following icons (图标) can you see? A. B. C. D. Let’s begin with some very interesting expressions. We all know pigs spend a large amount of time eating. As a result, many pigs are fat. In English, we use the idiom “eat like a pig” to describe people who eat a lot. But it can be rude to use this idiom. Another interesting idiom to learn is “lipstick (口红) on a pig”. While you think this expression describes a beautiful thing, the opposite is true. We use this idiom to say that no matter how well we decorate an ugly product, it is still ugly. Even the most expensive lipstick cannot fix it! “Pigs might fly” is an idiom widely used in daily life. It’s used to show that you do not believe something will ever happen. For example, Rick has been smoking for twenty years. Once he said he would give it up. His friends all laughed and said, “Yes, and pigs might fly.” The last idiom we are going to learn is “guinea pig” (豚鼠). The guinea pig is actually not a pig. It is a rat that has short legs and no tail. Many children keep the animal as a pet. But if we say someone is used as a guinea pig, it means new ideas. methods or medical treatments are tested on them. 9. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Pig Idioms. B. Year of the Pig. C. Different Pig. D. Habits of the Pig. 10. It’s ________ to use the idiom “eat like a pig” to describe people who eat a lot. A. wonderful B. fantastic C. polite D. impolite 11. What does the underlined word “decorate” probably means? A. 描述 B. 比较 C. 穿上 D. 装饰 12. Cindy likes creating her own dishes, she always uses her husband as a guinea pig to ________. A. cook for her B. try her dishes C. do some cleaning D. buy the latest cookbook D ①Nowadays, we have kinds of technologies to protect us from different disasters (灾难).We even know where and when some disasters, like typhoons and floods, will happen. While most of the new technologies are far away from us, some around us can help people in disasters. ②The drone (无人机) is one of them. It can be used to send food and water when a natural disaster happens. Very often the buildings are too dangerous for rescue (救援) teams to get in. They can make the drone fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive first They are also becoming a useful tool for firefighters, helping them find and fight wildfires. In some faraway places in the world, drones are the fastest way to send medicine to people who are in great need of it. ③. Social media is also a useful tool when it comes to natural disasters. With its help, people can know about the natural disasters before they hit. And some social media platforms alloy people to mark themselves as safe after disasters, so others can know their situations. ④Social media is also a place for up-to-date news, so people can learn what is going on in disaster areas. Besides, many social media platforms allow people to donate money to help people in disaster areas. The money will help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible. For example, live streaming (直播) helped raise a lot of money for Henan after the flood in 2021. ⑤Although these technologies can help when there is a natural disaster, we still need to prepare necessary tools and learn important skills to protect ourselves. 13. According to the writer, the drone can fly into dangerous buildings to ________ after disasters. A. call rescue teams B. send food and water C. look for people alive D. remind people of danger 14. The writer mentions live streaming to-show ________.

In 2021, many schools began to teach students life skills. This is what our country tries to do now: Helping more students gain working spirit. To stress the importance of hardworking spirit education (劳动教育), the government released (发布) a guideline recently. The guideline calls on students to respect work. In Hope Middle School, students have a special life skill class: They learn to make dumplings in different kinds of shapes. “I couldn’t make dumplings before, but now I am good at doing it. “It’s my favourite class,” said Jia Yan, a boy at the school. 41.
