It sold more than 10 million copies in just three days after it came out on Aug 20. The game is based on (基于) the Chinese story Journey to the West. In the game, you play as the Destined One (天命人), a monkey following in the footsteps of the Monkey King on a journey to bring him back. Many players, especially those from Western countries, find the game’s story and characters hard to understand because it’s so much about Chinese culture. To help, some Western fans have put in a lot of work. One fan even wrote a long summary (总结) of Sun Wukong’s abilities in all 100 chapters of Journey to the West. By looking into the game and its background, Western players not only improved their gaming skills but also grew to understand Sun Wukong and the story of Journey to the West. “Sun Wukong gives off a carefree, independent and chaotic (无秩序的) nature. He is not controlled by the need to set a good example for others like Spider-Man or Superman, who follow strict rules like ‘with great power comes great responsibility (责任)’ ” said Patrick McCarthy from the US. Journey to the West tells an exciting story of a dangerous journey and looks at different ideas. It has inspired a lot of stories across cultures. The book has been translated into many languages, showing its lasting popularity. 54．What do we know about the game? A．Its players are mainly Westerners. B．Players play as the Monkey King.

I was most interested in the rope-dancing. A very thin rope is fixed thirty centimeters above the ground. People who want to become the King’s most important officials (官员) jump and dance on this rope, and whoever jumps highest without falling gets the best job. Sometimes the King orders his lords to dance on the rope, to show that they can still do it. This sport is, of course, rather dangerous, and there are occasional (偶尔的) deaths as a result. It seems a strange way of choosing officials. There was another interesting entertainment. The King holds a stick in front of him, and sometimes moves it up and down. One by one, people come up to him and jump over the stick or crawl under it. They go on jumping and crawling as the King moves the stick. The winner is the one who jumps and crawls for the longest time, and he receives a blue ribbon (缎带) to wear round his waist.

However, we don’t often think about making time to exercise as a family. While we find time for family games or movie nights, we often forget family sports. Family exercise may seem silly, but there are many benefits (益处). Form Lifelong Habits By spending family time on a physical activity together, you encourage (鼓励) your children to exercise and build lifelong habits. When children see physical activities as an enjoyable thing to do together, they may keep family exercise as a family-time tradition as they grow up. ________ Children get more life skills at home than they do anywhere else. Teamwork is taught and encouraged in sports. By exercising together, you’re encouraging teamwork and working together to reach a common goal, which helps teach the importance of goal setting as a team. Bring Encouragement Parents are great encouragers in education and sports. You can give your children encouragement when doing family sports. Studies show that family encouragement influences (影响) children’s mental health in a good way. Good family bonding (联结) with family encouragement builds confidence (自信) in children. It may be all well and good to think about exercising together as a family, but it may be difficult to get started. Here is some advice for you. ● Take turns on who gets to choose the physical activity. Maybe you enjoy traditional exercise while your child wants to dance. On your exercising day, encourage your child to follow along. Then allow your child to choose the next family physical activity. ● Staying safe is always something important to think about for not only children but parents as well.

They can be both red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by someone. What can they be? Right, the answer is chilies. Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food, but do you know that this spicy (辣的) vegetable could also be very dangerous? A 34-year-old US man lost his life in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili. After taking just one bite, the man began to get serious headaches in the following days, reported by BBC News. In fact, eating spicy food causes stomachache and headache. But if chilies are harmful, why do people eat this vegetable? What makes people love chilies so much? The human body is influenced (被影响) by natural chemicals (化学物质) that produce “a sense of happiness”. That means chili makes them happy. And chilies do good to people in another way. A study shows that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The death rate is 14 percent lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. This makes people eat more spicy food to make their health better. So don’t worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are really good for us. 81．What are chilies like? 82．Who enjoys adding chilies to food? 83．What happened to the man after eating the spiciest chili? 84．How is the human body influenced? 85．Will you eat chili or spicy food?

It sold more than 10 million copies in just three days after it came out on Aug 20. The game is based on (基于) the Chinese story Journey to the West. In the game, you play as the Destined One (天命人), a monkey following in the footsteps of the Monkey King on a journey to bring him back. Many players, especially those from Western countries, find the game’s story and characters hard to understand because it’s so much about Chinese culture. To help, some Western fans have put in a lot of work. One fan even wrote a long summary (总结) of Sun Wukong’s abilities in all 100 chapters of Journey to the West. By looking into the game and its background, Western players not only improved their gaming skills but also grew to understand Sun Wukong and the story of Journey to the West. “Sun Wukong gives off a carefree, independent and chaotic (无秩序的) nature. He is not controlled by the need to set a good example for others like Spider-Man or Superman, who follow strict rules like ‘with great power comes great responsibility (责任)’ ” said Patrick McCarthy from the US. Journey to the West tells an exciting story of a dangerous journey and looks at different ideas. It has inspired a lot of stories across cultures. The book has been translated into many languages, showing its lasting popularity. 54．What do we know about the game? A．Its players are mainly Westerners. B．Players play as the Monkey King.

I was most interested in the rope-dancing. A very thin rope is fixed thirty centimeters above the ground. People who want to become the King’s most important officials (官员) jump and dance on this rope, and whoever jumps highest without falling gets the best job. Sometimes the King orders his lords to dance on the rope, to show that they can still do it. This sport is, of course, rather dangerous, and there are occasional (偶尔的) deaths as a result. It seems a strange way of choosing officials. There was another interesting entertainment. The King holds a stick in front of him, and sometimes moves it up and down. One by one, people come up to him and jump over the stick or crawl under it. They go on jumping and crawling as the King moves the stick. The winner is the one who jumps and crawls for the longest time, and he receives a blue ribbon (缎带) to wear round his waist. The second best receives a red ribbon, and the third best gets a green one. Many of the Lilliput lords wear their ribbons proudly at all times. I had certainly never seen entertainment like this in any of the countries I had visited before. （取材于扬州市“五个一百工程”指定阅读书目《格列佛游记》） 58．How high is the thin rope fixed above the ground? A．15 meters.

While we find time for family games or movie nights, we often forget family sports. Family exercise may seem silly, but there are many benefits (益处). Form Lifelong Habits By spending family time on a physical activity together, you encourage (鼓励) your children to exercise and build lifelong habits. When children see physical activities as an enjoyable thing to do together, they may keep family exercise as a family-time tradition as they grow up. ________ Children get more life skills at home than they do anywhere else. Teamwork is taught and encouraged in sports. By exercising together, you’re encouraging teamwork and working together to reach a common goal, which helps teach the importance of goal setting as a team. Bring Encouragement Parents are great encouragers in education and sports. You can give your children encouragement when doing family sports. Studies show that family encouragement influences (影响) children’s mental health in a good way. Good family bonding (联结) with family encouragement builds confidence (自信) in children. It may be all well and good to think about exercising together as a family, but it may be difficult to get started. Here is some advice for you. ● Take turns on who gets to choose the physical activity. Maybe you enjoy traditional exercise while your child wants to dance. On your exercising day, encourage your child to follow along. Then allow your child to choose the next family physical activity. ● Staying safe is always something important to think about for not only children but parents as well. Choose an activity with your child’s abilities in mind. If some of your family members are not good at running, try to slow down or have them ride a bike along. Family exercise can be both fun and a good chance for bonding. Remember to always choose the activity as a family and stay safe. 62．Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraph 3? A．Build Teamwork B．Improve Health C．Keep Traditions D．Bring Happiness 63．According to the passage, the writer probably agrees that ________.

Christmas Day was sunny and bright, so Jo and Laurie went into the garden and made a snowman for Beth. They put flowers and fresh fruit for her in its hand. Jo brought her downstairs to see it and Beth laughed at its funny face. She was much better but she was still very thin and weak. After that there were presents for everyone. Later that morning Laurie came back. There was a mysterious smile on his face when he opened the parlor door. “Here’s another Christmas present for the March family!” he said.

They can be both red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by someone. What can they be? Right, the answer is chilies. Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food, but do you know that this spicy (辣的) vegetable could also be very dangerous? A 34-year-old US man lost his life in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili. After taking just one bite, the man began to get serious headaches in the following days, reported by BBC News. In fact, eating spicy food causes stomachache and headache. But if chilies are harmful, why do people eat this vegetable? What makes people love chilies so much? The human body is influenced (被影响) by natural chemicals (化学物质) that produce “a sense of happiness”. That means chili makes them happy. And chilies do good to people in another way. A study shows that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The death rate is 14 percent lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. This makes people eat more spicy food to make their health better. So don’t worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are really good for us. 81．What are chilies like? 82．Who enjoys adding chilies to food? 83．What happened to the man after eating the spiciest chili? 84．How is the human body influenced? 85．Will you eat chili or spicy food?
