Every year, lots of people go to visit the Great Wall. The most popular part is Badaling. However, during my seven years in China, I never visited it, because there are too many tourists.
Actually, I like places that few people visit. One day, with my best friends, I chose to visit Simatai—another part of the Great Wall. It’s not very easy to go up and few people go there.
At the beginning, I saw some vendors (小贩) walking along the paths with postcards. They shouted loudly to sell the postcards but I was not interested in them. Soon, one old woman followed me wherever I went. Finally, I became angry. “Don’t you know the meaning of No!” I shouted at her and left.
When we went up to the Great Wall, I was so deep in the beauty of landscape (风景) that I felt excited and forgot the old woman.
Then, halfway up, I stopped. I found I was on a very dangerous path. It was no wider than a metre. I was too scared (害怕的) to move, for I even remembered that some tourists were badly hurt here.
Suddenly, I felt a small hand on my back. A voice told me, “Don’t be afraid.” She said she would help me to the top. All the time, she said to me “Everything will be fine, sir.”
Half an hour later, we reached a safe place. Feeling better, I turned around to see who she was. I had thought she must be one of my friends. However, she was the old woman.
I felt sorry and gave her a big hug. Until now, I still have a clear memory (记忆) of the experience and deeply than k the old woman.

Zac and I were always best friends. We both started playing football from an early age. Zac was bigger than me and it was difficult to score a goal when he was in front of me. I was faster, though. Once I got past him, he couldn’t catch me.
There were two under-17 teams. The first team was the Springtown Stars. They played the most important games. The other was the Springtown Asteroids. They were also a good team but not as good as the Stars. Zac and I were proud to be in the Stars!
It was time for the coach to name the team for the season. Zac’s name was called out but mine wasn’t. I went to check the list on the board. I could hardly believe my eyes! How could the coach make such a mistake? I was as good as Zac. What pain I felt! I had lost my place in the Stars.
After that, I had to practise with the Asteroids but I didn’t enjoy it. I played so well, and yet no one understood this. I began to despise Zac and the coach.
However, one Saturday, I watched the Stars play against another team. I thought they wouldn’t play well without me, but I was wrong. I began to see that they had great teamwork and skills. Zac was especially good. He had worked harder than me and was now much better.

My name is Lucy. Art has always been my favorite subject, as it allows me to do my favorite hobby. I still remember when I was young, I would always paint on books, pieces of paper, and walls.
But now in school, there are only four art lessons each week, which is far from enough for me. I notice that the 40 minutes for each lesson seem to pass by in a flash (闪现) because I get completely lost in my artwork. It is as if drawing takes me to another world, where time stands still and creativity (创造力) never stops.
I love drawing so much that whenever I have time between classes, I find myself drawing something. I have spent so much time improving my skills that even my classmates are often amazed by my talent (天赋).
I especially enjoy drawing cartoons. This is the area where my creativity is always free. Letting my creativity run wild, I sometimes draw things that surprise even myself. I have cartoons of all the teachers I know. While some are pretty, others should not be shown to the teachers because they will be sad. They are only for my classmates and me to see.
So, I must say that I always feel good when I am drawing something. For me, drawing is a natural way to express myself. It simply allows me to follow my instincts (直觉) and lets my feelings guide my hand. And the result is always a happy one, leaving me with a sense of achievement that no other subject can match.
41. How many art lessons are there each week in Lucy’s school?
_____________________________________________
42. What does Lucy especially enjoy drawing?
_____________________________________________
43. Why won’t Lucy show some cartoons to the teachers?

44. My hobby is doing sports. Because doing sports is good for my health. It can not only make me feel relaxed but also make me strong. I always exercise on weekends. (答案不唯一)
【解析】

Every year, lots of people go to visit the Great Wall. The most popular part is Badaling. However, during my seven years in China, I never visited it, because there are too many tourists.
Actually, I like places that few people visit. One day, with my best friends, I chose to visit Simatai—another part of the Great Wall. It’s not very easy to go up and few people go there.
At the beginning, I saw some vendors (小贩) walking along the paths with postcards. They shouted loudly to sell the postcards but I was not interested in them. Soon, one old woman followed me wherever I went. Finally, I became angry. “Don’t you know the meaning of No!” I shouted at her and left.
When we went up to the Great Wall, I was so deep in the beauty of landscape (风景) that I felt excited and forgot the old woman.
Then, halfway up, I stopped. I found I was on a very dangerous path. It was no wider than a metre. I was too scared (害怕的) to move, for I even remembered that some tourists were badly hurt here.
Suddenly, I felt a small hand on my back. A voice told me, “Don’t be afraid.” She said she would help me to the top. All the time, she said to me “Everything will be fine, sir.”
Half an hour later, we reached a safe place. Feeling better, I turned around to see who she was. I had thought she must be one of my friends. However, she was the old woman.
I felt sorry and gave her a big hug. Until now, I still have a clear memory (记忆) of the experience and deeply than k the old woman.

Zac and I were always best friends. We both started playing football from an early age. Zac was bigger than me and it was difficult to score a goal when he was in front of me. I was faster, though. Once I got past him, he couldn’t catch me.
There were two under-17 teams. The first team was the Springtown Stars. They played the most important games. The other was the Springtown Asteroids. They were also a good team but not as good as the Stars. Zac and I were proud to be in the Stars!
It was time for the coach to name the team for the season. Zac’s name was called out but mine wasn’t. I went to check the list on the board. I could hardly believe my eyes! How could the coach make such a mistake? I was as good as Zac. What pain I felt! I had lost my place in the Stars.
After that, I had to practise with the Asteroids but I didn’t enjoy it. I played so well, and yet no one understood this. I began to despise Zac and the coach.
However one Saturday, I watched the Stars play against another team. I thought they wouldn’t play well without me, but I was wrong. I began to see that they had great teamwork and skills. Zac was especially good. He had worked harder than me and was now much better.
Perhaps I was not as good as I had thought. As he left the field, I gave him a big high five, “Zac, you are great! I will be back to the Stars next season.”

My name is Lucy. Art has always been my favorite subject, as it allows me to do my favorite hobby. I still remember when I was young, I would always paint on books, pieces of paper, and walls.
But now in school, there are only four art lessons each week, which is far from enough for me. I notice that the 40 minutes for each lesson seem to pass by in a flash (闪现) because I get completely lost in my artwork. It is as if drawing takes me to another world, where time stands still and creativity (创造力) never stops.
I love drawing so much that whenever I have time between classes, I find myself drawing something. I have spent so much time improving my skills that even my classmates are often amazed by my talent (天赋).
I especially enjoy drawing cartoons. This is the area where my creativity is always free. Letting my creativity run wild, I sometimes draw things that surprise even myself. I have cartoons of all the teachers I know. While some are pretty, others should not be shown to the teachers because they will be sad. They are only for my classmates and me to see.
So, I must say that I always feel good when I am drawing something. For me, drawing is a natural way to express myself. It simply allows me to follow my instincts (直觉) and lets my feelings guide my hand. And the result is always a happy one, leaving me with a sense of achievement that no other subject can match.
41. How many art lessons are there each week in Lucy’s school?
_____________________________________________
42. What does Lucy especially enjoy drawing?
_____________________________________________
43. Why won’t Lucy show some cartoons to the teachers?
