The next day a tree surgeon named Harry examined the oak tree. He did some tests, then he talked to Holly and her father.
“This is a lovely tree,” he said. “I can see why it’s so important to you, Holly. Unfortunately, it’s very old, and it has a disease. It really isn’t safe. I’m afraid it has to come down.”
Holly nodded. Her father put his arm around her.
“Can you cut it down?” he asked.
“Yes, of course,” said Harry.
“And after that… can you plant a new tree?”
“A new tree?” asked Holly, surprised. “Where?”
“In the same place, of course,” her father replied.
So Harry cut down the old oak tree and planted a new one in its place. Holly helped him fill the hole with earth, and Eco jumped in and out of it while they were working.
Later the whole family stood around the new tree
“It’s small, isn’t it?” said Holly’s sister Sophie.
“It’s small now,” said Holly, “but it’s going to grow. It’s going to grow as big as my old tree.”
Then she turned to her father.
“Dad, where are you going to build your new office?”
“Over there,” said her father, pointing.
“On the lawn?” asked Holly. Her parents were crazy about their stupid lawn!
“It’s OK,” her mother said. “The tree’s more important. In fact, I want you to have a party in the garden for your new tree. And I want you to invite all your friends.”
Holly and Sophie smiled. It was going to be a great summer after all.

You must have heard of “city bu city” (meaning city or not city), an Internet modern word created by foreign blogger Baobaoxiong. People use it to ask if a place feels like a big, fashionable city.
Millions of foreigners like Baobaoxiong are visiting China and posting their travel videos. The visa-free transit policy (过境免签政策) is important in this trend (潮流). Travelers from 54 countries can stay in China for up to six days without a visa if they have a travel document (文件) and a connecting ticket (联运机票).
The visa-free transit policy started in 2013. Back then, it let travelers to stay for 72 hours in seven different big cities in China. Now, travelers can stay for 144 hours in 41 places across 19 provincial areas. It has attracted (吸引) more travelers to China. In the first three months of this year, 266 percent more foreigners came to China through visa-free policies compared with the same period last year, according to the National Immigration Administration of China (国家移民管理局).
Seeing is believing. Through this policy, more and more people get to see the real China. “This is the whole reason why we decided to come to China — we wanted to see exactly what it’s like for ourselves,” said Irish You Tuber Luke in his online video. He thought Chengdu was “incredibly (难以置信地) good, beautiful and modern”, totally (完全地) different from what he heard about China from Western media.
Yuyuantantian, a new media account (账号) under China Media Group, looked at 100 China travel videos made by foreigners. It found foreigners visited famous places of interest like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall in the past. But now they would like to experience (体验) everyday activities like shopping at markets, riding shared bikes and joining square dancing in parks. These activities give foreigners a closer look at everyday life in China, said Yuyuantantian.
47. Foreigners who travel through the 144-hour visa-free transit policy need to ________.
A. travel in a group B. stay at least 144 hours in China
C. travel in seven big cities in China D. have a connecting ticket to leave within six days
48. What makes the 2024 visa-free policy better than the 2013 policy?
A. Longer stay and more traveling places. B. Longer stay and lower cost.
C. More activities and lower cost. D. More traveling places and lower cost.
49. Why did Luke decide to travel to China?
A. To show the world the real China. B. To shoot videos about China.
C. To find the best city in China. D. To see what China is really like.
50. According to Yuyuantantian, how does the foreigners’ travel videos help?
A. It tells others about Western media’s wrong reports.
B. It supports the development (发展) of China.
C. It helps the world understand the real China.
D. It invites foreigners to visit more places of interest in China.

British people have eaten Sunday roasts for centuries. In the old days, people had to go to church (教堂) on Sundays. After that, people would be hungry. ____52____
So what is this tasty dish? Every Sunday dinner has roast meat, usually chicken or beef, roast potatoes, vegetables, and Yorkshire puddings (布丁). ____53____
