Not long ago, my daughter’s favourite leather shoes were cut by a knife. She cried. I took the shoes to a shoemaker to get them repaired.
The young apprentice (学徒) took a look at the cuts quickly and said, “There is 11 I can do but change the uppers (鞋帮).”
His master looked at them and said to me, “If you 12 me, I will add more cuts to both of the shoes on purpose for special style.”
I didn’t fully understand him, 13 I decided to leave the shoes.
Two days later, I went there to get the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six 14 on each shoe, but all of them were covered by soft red leather sewed (缝) with thick thread (线). The shoes looked more 15 and interesting than ever. I couldn’t stop praising the master for his skill.
Another time, my wife’s 16 had an opening on the back. My wife checked it carefully, and then said, “I’ll 17 it myself.”
Three days went past, and I was very 18 to see it again: the 19 was sewed up by thin and white thread and it looked like the ice crystal (晶体). She 20 made a lovely snowman and a wooden house on the blouse. I said with praise, “It’s just as beautiful as a piece of 21 .”
“I learned from the master. Patches (补丁) can be 22 to look perfect.” replied my wife.
Her words taught me even more. Perfection (完美) is 23 to achieve in everything; patches are unavoidable (不可避免的); so is human’s life, which will appear in the form of wound, 24 or disease. Since you can’t change that, all you can do and have to do is to cover the wound by patches and try your best to make a most beautiful flower on the wound, and that is what life teaches us. Once you 25 it, you can enjoy your life better.

A
We sometimes feel lonely when there’s nobody with us. How do you spend your time when you feel lonely? Li Bai, Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty, and the UK poet William Wordsworth described and dealt with loneliness in different ways.
Drinking Alone under the Moon
by Li Bai
Among the flowers, from a pot of wine
I drink without a companion of mine.
I raise my cup to invite the Moon who blends
Her light with my Shadow and we are three ________.
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Word bank:
shadow (影子) wander (漫游)
float (漂浮) daffodils (水仙花)
vacant (茫然的) pensive (沉思的)
flash (闪耀) bliss (乐园)
Both Li Bai and William Wordsworth are poets of romanticism. Both poems are about loneliness but show different ways of thinking about it.
The first poem describes the scene of drinking alone under the moon. Li imagines (想象) that the moon and his shadow are with him drinking, later even dancing together. Even when lonely, the talented poet used his poem and wine to let out his strong feelings. In the second poem, the poet seems lonely, imagining himself as a lonely cloud floating in the sky. However, he finds company with the beautiful and lively daffodils. The flowers give him strength and energy. After he finds the daffodils, the flowers continue to fill him with joy even when he is away from them. When he is lying on his couch at home, he relives the pleasure.
26.Which word can be the best for ________?
A.drinkers B.friends C.neighbours D.dancers

27.细节理解题。根据“Both Li Bai and William Wordsworth are poets of romanticism. Both poems are about loneliness but show different ways of thinking about it.”可知,两首诗的主题是一样的。故选D。
28.推理判断题。根据“Both Li Bai and William Wordsworth are poets of romanticism. Both poems are about loneliness but show different ways of thinking about it.”可知,在杂志的古典文学可以读到本文。故选C。
B
Self-driving cars do not have people telling them what to do. They move themselves about safely by doing three things right: learning about the environment, deciding what to do next, and taking action.
First, the car needs to know what is around it. It uses many different sensors (传感器) to do this. These sensors, such as cameras and radar, are like the car’s “eyes”. They allow the car to “see” things such as people and traffic lights. The sensors also help the car know where and how fast it is going.
Besides knowing what is close by, a self-driving car makes plans ahead to avoid traffic accidents. This is where “vehicle to everything” (V2X) comes in. This technology connects a self-driving car with people and things. It also allows the car to go online. All these things help the car “talk” with the outside world and get the latest road information.
After receiving the information, the car needs to “read” it and decide what to do. So it combines the information from all sensors, just like putting together the pieces of a puzzle. This process is called multi-sensor fusion (多传感器融合). Machine learning plays an important role here because it helps the car recognize people and objects. Then, the car can decide when to stop, go, or turn.
Finally, to carry out decisions, the car uses drive-by-wire technology (线控技术). It allows the car to give “orders” to its wheels, brakes (刹车) and engine in the form of electronic signals (电子信号). This makes different parts of the car respond quickly. The car also uses less oil this way, which is good for the environment.
29.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Ways to use different sensors in self-driving cars.
B.The differences between the “eyes” of cars and humans.
C.How self-driving cars learn about their environment.
D.When and where self-driving cars work the best.
30.What does V2X technology do?
A.It allows the car to see in the dark.
B.It allows the car to connect with people and things.
C.It allows the car to connect with other cars.
D.It allows the car to give “orders” to its wheels.
31.What does multi-sensor fusion mean?
A.Getting all road information.
B.Using AI technology to finish a puzzle.
C.Putting together information from all sensors.
D.Connecting self-driving cars with each other on the road.
32.What do we know about drive-by-wire technology?
A.It helps self-driving cars drive faster.
B.It allows self-driving cars to run without oil.
C.It can collect signals from different traffic lights.
D.It helps control the movement of self-driving cars.
【答案】29.C 30.B 31.C 32.D
【导语】本文主要介绍了自动驾驶汽车通过三个关键步骤实现安全行驶:感知环境、决策规划和执行控制,并详细说明了传感器技术、V2X通信、多传感器融合和线控技术的作用。

Long long ago, there was a piece of wood. It was not an expensive piece of wood. Just a common block of firewood, one of those thick legs that are put on the fire to make cold rooms warm.
I do not know how this really happened, one fine day this piece of wood found itself in the shop of an old carpenter (木匠). Everyone called him Mastro Cherry, for the tip of his nose was so round and red that it looked like a ripe cherry.
As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy. Rubbing his hands together happily, he said to himself, “This has come in time. I’m in need of a leg of the table.” But as he was about to give it the first blow, he stood still with arm uplifted, for he had heard a little voice say, “Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard!” What a surprise!
He tried to find out where that voice had come from and he saw no one! He looked under the bench—no one! He searched the room—no one! He opened the door to look around the street—and still no one!
“Oh, I see!” he then said, laughing and shaking his head. “There may be something wrong with my ears.”
“Well, well—to work once more.” He struck another blow hard on the piece of wood.
“Oh, oh!You hurt me!” cried the same far-away little voice.
Mastro Cherry’s mouth opened wide, turned frightened eyes and his tongue hung down on his chin (下巴). “Where did that voice come from? This piece of wood has learned to cry like a child? Here it is—a piece of common firewood, the same as any other. Yet—might someone be hidden in it? If so, the worse for him. I’ll fix him!” With these words, he started to knock it. He threw it to the floor, against the walls, and even up to the ceiling.
He listened for the tiny voice to cry. He waited two minutes—nothing; five minutes—nothing; ten minutes—nothing. “Oh, I see,” he said, trying bravely to laugh and touching his hair. “Well, well—to work once more!” So he tried to sing a merry song to get power, and worked on.
“Stop it! Oh, stop it!You tickle my stomach.” This time poor Mastro Cherry fell as if shot. When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the floor.
33.How many times did the piece of wood talk?
A.2. B.3. C.4. D.5.
34.The underlined word “blow” probably means ________.
A.a hard hit B.a quick move C.air from the mouth D.a musical sound
35.Which is the right order according to the story?
a.Mastro Cherry searched everywhere for the voice.
b.Mastro Cherry was told to be careful by a little voice.
c.Mastro Cherry laughed and sang to make himself move on.
d.Mastro Cherry questioned if anyone was hidden in the wood.
e.Mastro Cherry found a piece of common firewood in his shop.
A.b﹣a﹣e﹣d﹣c B.b﹣e﹣d﹣a﹣c C.e﹣b﹣a﹣d﹣c D.e﹣b﹣d﹣a﹣c
36.How did the carpenter’s feelings change in the whole story?
A.happy→surprised→afraid B.happy→surprised→bored
C.surprised→afraid→angry D.surprised→worried→happy
【答案】33.B 34.A 35.C 36.A
【导语】本文节选自童话故事《匹诺曹》,本文主要讲述了老木匠发现了一块木头,当他要做桌腿时,却发现不断有说话声传出来。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段“Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard!”和第七段“ ‘Oh, oh! You hurt me! ’cried the same far-away little voice.”以及最后一段”Stop it! Oh, stop it! You tickle my stomach.”可知,木头一共说了三次话。故选B。
34.词义猜测题。根据第六段“ ‘Well, well—to work once more.’ He struck another blow hard on the piece of wood.”可知,他是狠狠地……那块木头。所以blow意为“狠狠地打”。故选A。
35.推理判断题。阅读原文可知,先是木匠开心地发现了一块普通的木头,然后在他第一次敲它的时候,他听到了一个微弱的声音,接下来又听见那个遥远的小声音,于是木匠怀疑是否有人藏在木头里,最后木匠给他自己唱了一首快乐的歌鼓励自己继续工作,故选C。
36.推理判断题。根据“As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy... What a surprise!”以及“Mastro Cherry’s mouth opened wide, turned frightened eyes and his tongue hung down on his chin (下巴).”可知,他一看到那块木头,就欣喜若狂,接着惊讶;随后张大了嘴,惊恐地转过眼睛。故这个男人的感情变化是高兴—惊讶—害怕。故选A。

①In China, more and more adults are becoming overweight. In fact, 34.8% of adults are overweight and 14.1% are obese (肥胖的). The number of obese people is growing faster than the number of those who are just overweight. Experts say that each year there are 5.4% more obese adults in China.
②Zhang Zhongtao, who works at Beijing Friendship Hospital, said that obesity was causing big health and money problems around the world. It is now a serious public health problem in China. By the year of 2030, it is expected that China will spend about 22% of all its healthcare money on problems related to being overweight or obese.
③At a meeting, Zhang asked people to pay more attention to obesity and how to manage weight. He believes that the government and society do not focus enough on this problem. “We hope to work with public charities to give help to obese patients who need to lose weight medically but can’t pay for it,” he said.
④He also explained why people become overweight. It is mainly because they eat more energy than they run out of. Also, in China, obesity is more common in the north than in the south, showing a pattern of decreasing from north to south. In the north of China, people like to eat noodles, and in the south, they prefer rice. Both foods have carbohydrates (碳水化合物), but eating noodles can make people gain more weight. Climate also affects people in the north. Because it’s colder, they like to eat foods with more calories like fried chicken and chocolate to stay warm.
⑤Obesity is a common problem and can lead to other diseases. This is why it’s so important to prevent and control obesity to help build a “Healthy China”.
37.How does the first paragraph tell the seriousness of the overweight problem in China?
A.By giving examples. B.By listing some numbers.
C.By asking some questions. D.By comparing with other countries.
38.What reasons for being overweight are TRUE according to the passage?
①Eating too much. ②Living in the north.
③Suffering from a disease. ④Preferring noodles to rice.
⑤Eating too late. ⑥Having a poor sleep.
A.①③④ B.②④⑥ C.①②④ D.②③⑤
39.What can we probably infer from the passage?
A.Rice and fried chicken are good for keeping out of the cold.
B.People have full understanding about the problems of being overweight.
C.The overweight population is 5.4 times larger than that last year.
D.Overweight and obese problems may cover fewer than a quarter of China’s medical bills.
40.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】37.B 38.C 39.D 40.A
【导语】本文讲述了在中国,越来越多的成年人变得超重和肥胖,中国肥胖率上升值得关注。
37.推理判断题。根据“In fact, 34.8% of adults are overweight and 14.1% are obese (肥胖的).... say that each year there are 5.4% more obese adults in China.”可知,是通过数据来讲述超重问题。故选B。
38.细节理解题。根据“It is mainly because they eat more energy than they run out of....they like to eat foods with more calories, like fried chicken and chocolate, to stay warm.”可知,是因为吃太多、吃面条会让你长得更胖以及居住在北方的人们受气候影响,因此是①②④。故选C。
39.推理判断题。根据“By the year of 2030, it is expected that China will spend about 22% of all its healthcare money on problems related to being overweight or obese.”可知,到2030年,预计中国将把其全部医疗保健资金的22%左右用于与超重或肥胖相关的问题,因此可推论出超重和肥胖问题可能只占中国医疗账单的不到四分之一。故选D。
40.篇章结构题。第一段提出主题;第二三四段分别介绍超重和肥胖问题;第五段总结。故选A。

It raised $7,500. “We built up so 51 (much) money during just a few weeks,” he says, “So I said,” “Why don’t we keep this 52 (go) as long as we can?”

七、任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Do you ever feel like you are just rushing from one subject to another? When things happen so fast, maybe you can’t understand clearly what you are doing or learning, so it is important to stop yourself to think about what you have been doing or learning.
Self-reflection(反省)means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. Some people like to do self-reflection only in their mind. Others keep a diary. What’s more, taking notes is also OK. Each method (方法)works. You can follow the steps to do self-reflection.
First, choose the right time to do it. School textbooks are made up of units of study. This makes it easier to begin self-reflection. Look for time when you finish a unit of study. Sometimes you know it’s the time because there is some kind of test. Use these natural breaks to stop and do self-reflection.
Then, find a quiet place and take out your reflection diary. Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit.
Finally, think about things that you are not sure of. Maybe you learned a new way to work out a maths problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.
Successful students always know self-reflection is important. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.
66.What is self-reflection?
67.How many steps can we follow to do self-reflection?
68.Why do we need to write down the questions we are not sure of?
69.What do successful students think of self-reflection?
70.What is your own method to do self-reflection?(请自拟一句话作答)
【答案】66.Self-reflection means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. 67.Three steps. 68.Because it can help us remember to look for answers the next time we are working with the same topic. 69.It’s important. 70.Making plans for my lessons./…
【导语】本文讲述反思在学习中的重要作用。介绍记笔记反思的方法。首先要找正确的时间、安静的地方写下新学的东西,最后思考总结自己不确定的东西。成功的学生都知道反思的重要性。
66.根据“Self-reflection (反省) means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind.”可知,反省意味着放慢脚步,让自己平静下来,包括让自己的头脑平静下来。故填Self-reflection means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind.
67.根据“First, choose the right time to do it.”、“Then, find a quiet place and take out your reflection diary. ”和“Finally, think about things that you are not sure of.”可知,反省有三个步骤。故填Three steps.
68.根据“Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.”可知,写下不确定的题目是因为它可以帮助我们在下次处理同一主题时记住寻找答案。故填Because it can help us remember to look for answers the next time we are working with the same topic.

【答案】例文:
Hello, everyone. I’m David from Class 1, Grade 8. Back to the life in the last year, I think I have changed a lot and I have made great progress in many ways.
First, in the past I seldom read books. I used to spend most of my time playing computers games. Now I find it interesting to do some reading because good books help me relax after a busy day. They also open up a whole new world to me.
Second, I always forgot to turn off the tap and the power when they were not in use. Sometimes I left the tap running after I washed my hands. I always dropped litter carelessly in the park. But now I have realized the importance of protecting the environment. I always throw the litter into the rubbish bins.
Third, I was impolite before. I sometimes shouted loudly or pushed in before others in public places. But now, I can behave politely in public and I often give my seat to someone in need on the bus.
Fourth, I cared little about others. But now I offer to help my blind neighbors and donate all my pocket money to Project Hope.
I’m sure I will do better and better in Grade 9.
Thanks for listening!

Not long ago, my daughter’s favourite leather shoes were cut by a knife. She cried. I took the shoes to a shoemaker to get them repaired.
The young apprentice (学徒) took a look at the cuts quickly and said, “There is 11 I can do but change the uppers (鞋帮).”
His master looked at them and said to me, “If you 12 me, I will add more cuts to both of the shoes on purpose for special style.”
I didn’t fully understand him, 13 I decided to leave the shoes.
Two days later, I went there to get the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six 14 on each shoe, but all of them were covered by soft red leather sewed (缝) with thick thread (线). The shoes looked more 15 and interesting than ever. I couldn’t stop praising the master for his skill.
Another time, my wife’s 16 had an opening on the back. My wife checked it carefully, and then said, “I’ll 17 it myself.”
Three days went past, and I was very 18 to see it again: the 19 was sewed up by thin and white thread and it looked like the ice crystal (晶体). She 20 made a lovely snowman and a wooden house on the blouse. I said with praise, “It’s just as beautiful as a piece of 21 .”
“I learned from the master. Patches (补丁) can be 22 to look perfect.” replied my wife.
Her words taught me even more. Perfection (完美) is 23 to achieve in everything; patches are unavoidable (不可避免的); so is human’s life, which will appear in the form of wound, 24 or disease. Since you can’t change that, all you can do and have to do is to cover the wound by patches and try your best to make a most beautiful flower on the wound, and that is what life teaches us. Once you 25 it, you can enjoy your life better.

请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
We sometimes feel lonely when there’s nobody with us. How do you spend your time when you feel lonely? Li Bai, Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty, and the UK poet William Wordsworth described and dealt with loneliness in different ways.
Drinking Alone under the Moon
by Li Bai
Among the flowers, from a pot of wine
I drink without a companion of mine.
I raise my cup to invite the Moon who blends
Her light with my Shadow and we are three ________.
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Word bank:
shadow (影子) wander (漫游)
float (漂浮) daffodils (水仙花)
vacant (茫然的) pensive (沉思的)
flash (闪耀) bliss (乐园)
Both Li Bai and William Wordsworth are poets of romanticism. Both poems are about loneliness but show different ways of thinking about it.
The first poem describes the scene of drinking alone under the moon. Li imagines (想象) that the moon and his shadow are with him drinking, later even dancing together. Even when lonely, the talented poet used his poem and wine to let out his strong feelings. In the second poem, the poet seems lonely, imagining himself as a lonely cloud floating in the sky. However, he finds company with the beautiful and lively daffodils. The flowers give him strength and energy. After he finds the daffodils, the flowers continue to fill him with joy even when he is away from them. When he is lying on his couch at home, he relives the pleasure.
26.Which word can be the best for ________?
A.drinkers B.friends C.neighbours D.dancers
27.What can we know after reading the two poems?
A.Li Bai drank wine with others to let out his strong feelings.
B.William Wordsworth hid great sadness in golden daffodils.
C.Li and William used the same way to deal with loneliness.
D.The two poems were written to talk about the same subject.
28.Which part of a magazine is the passage probably taken from?
A.School life. B.History study. C.Classic reading. D.International news.
B
Self-driving cars do not have people telling them what to do. They move themselves about safely by doing three things right: learning about the environment, deciding what to do next, and taking action.
First, the car needs to know what is around it. It uses many different sensors (传感器) to do this. These sensors, such as cameras and radar, are like the car’s “eyes”. They allow the car to “see” things such as people and traffic lights. The sensors also help the car know where and how fast it is going.
Besides knowing what is close by, a self-driving car makes plans ahead to avoid traffic accidents. This is where “vehicle to everything” (V2X) comes in. This technology connects a self-driving car with people and things. It also allows the car to go online. All these things help the car “talk” with the outside world and get the latest road information.
After receiving the information, the car needs to “read” it and decide what to do. So it combines the information from all sensors, just like putting together the pieces of a puzzle. This process is called multi-sensor fusion (多传感器融合). Machine learning plays an important role here because it helps the car recognize people and objects. Then, the car can decide when to stop, go, or turn.
Finally, to carry out decisions, the car uses drive-by-wire technology (线控技术). It allows the car to give “orders” to its wheels, brakes (刹车) and engine in the form of electronic signals (电子信号). This makes different parts of the car respond quickly. The car also uses less oil this way, which is good for the environment.
29.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Ways to use different sensors in self-driving cars.
B.The differences between the “eyes” of cars and humans.
C.How self-driving cars learn about their environment.
D.When and where self-driving cars work the best.
30.What does V2X technology do?
A.It allows the car to see in the dark.
B.It allows the car to connect with people and things.
C.It allows the car to connect with other cars.
D.It allows the car to give “orders” to its wheels.
31.What does multi-sensor fusion mean?
A.Getting all road information.
B.Using AI technology to finish a puzzle.
C.Putting together information from all sensors.
D.Connecting self-driving cars with each other on the road.
32.What do we know about drive-by-wire technology?
A.It helps self-driving cars drive faster.
B.It allows self-driving cars to run without oil.
C.It can collect signals from different traffic lights.
D.It helps control the movement of self-driving cars.

Long long ago, there was a piece of wood. It was not an expensive piece of wood. Just a common block of firewood, one of those thick legs that are put on the fire to make cold rooms warm.
I do not know how this really happened, one fine day this piece of wood found itself in the shop of an old carpenter (木匠). Everyone called him Mastro Cherry, for the tip of his nose was so round and red that it looked like a ripe cherry.
As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy. Rubbing his hands together happily, he said to himself, “This has come in time. I’m in need of a leg of the table.” But as he was about to give it the first blow, he stood still with arm uplifted, for he had heard a little voice say, “Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard!” What a surprise!
He tried to find out where that voice had come from and he saw no one! He looked under the bench—no one! He searched the room—no one! He opened the door to look around the street—and still no one!
“Oh, I see!” he then said, laughing and shaking his head. “There may be something wrong with my ears.”
“Well, well—to work once more.” He struck another blow hard on the piece of wood.
“Oh, oh!You hurt me!” cried the same far-away little voice.
Mastro Cherry’s mouth opened wide, turned frightened eyes and his tongue hung down on his chin (下巴). “Where did that voice come from? This piece of wood has learned to cry like a child? Here it is—a piece of common firewood, the same as any other. Yet—might someone be hidden in it? If so, the worse for him. I’ll fix him!” With these words, he started to knock it. He threw it to the floor, against the walls, and even up to the ceiling.
He listened for the tiny voice to cry. He waited two minutes—nothing; five minutes—nothing; ten minutes—nothing. “Oh, I see,” he said, trying bravely to laugh and touching his hair. “Well, well—to work once more!” So he tried to sing a merry song to get power, and worked on.
“Stop it! Oh, stop it!You tickle my stomach.” This time poor Mastro Cherry fell as if shot. When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the floor.

①In China, more and more adults are becoming overweight. In fact, 34.8% of adults are overweight and 14.1% are obese (肥胖的). The number of obese people is growing faster than the number of those who are just overweight. Experts say that each year there are 5.4% more obese adults in China.
②Zhang Zhongtao, who works at Beijing Friendship Hospital, said that obesity was causing big health and money problems around the world. It is now a serious public health problem in China. By the year of 2030, it is expected that China will spend about 22% of all its healthcare money on problems related to being overweight or obese.
③At a meeting, Zhang asked people to pay more attention to obesity and how to manage weight. He believes that the government and society do not focus enough on this problem. “We hope to work with public charities to give help to obese patients who need to lose weight medically but can’t pay for it,” he said.
④He also explained why people become overweight. It is mainly because they eat more energy than they run out of. Also, in China, obesity is more common in the north than in the south, showing a pattern of decreasing from north to south. In the north of China, people like to eat noodles, and in the south, they prefer rice. Both foods have carbohydrates (碳水化合物), but eating noodles can make people gain more weight. Climate also affects people in the north. Because it’s colder, they like to eat foods with more calories like fried chicken and chocolate to stay warm.

For a long time, the small city of Zibo in Shandong wasn’t a major place of interest in China. But this past March, 4.8 million tourists from across the country visited the city. And it’s all thanks to its barbecue (烧烤).
Zibo barbecue is served in a special w 56 . Diners don’t directly eat the meat off skewers (串肉杆). I 57 , they put two or three of the skewers in a small pancake with some scallions (青 葱). Next, they turn the pancake into a small roll and p 58 the skewers out. Then it’s time to enjoy this different-tasting food.
Zibo barbecue became p 59 online in early March. Since then, the local government has tried to give tourists an unforgettable e 60 during their stay.

Do you ever feel like you are just rushing from one subject to another? When things happen so fast, maybe you can’t understand clearly what you are doing or learning, so it is important to stop yourself to think about what you have been doing or learning.
Self-reflection(反省)means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. Some people like to do self-reflection only in their mind. Others keep a diary. What’s more, taking notes is also OK. Each method (方法)works. You can follow the steps to do self-reflection.
First, choose the right time to do it. School textbooks are made up of units of study. This makes it easier to begin self-reflection. Look for time when you finish a unit of study. Sometimes you know it’s the time because there is some kind of test. Use these natural breaks to stop and do self-reflection.
Then, find a quiet place and take out your reflection diary. Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit.
Finally, think about things that you are not sure of. Maybe you learned a new way to work out a maths problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.
Successful students always know self-reflection is important. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.
66.What is self-reflection?
67.How many steps can we follow to do self-reflection?
