Our families are one and only.All have their stories,jokes and so on.They're the place where our personalities were made. We know our families so well that we even think they're boring.Not at all.Families are the most special things.If you dig enough into your own,you will get everything for a great book. My mother started making our family tree years ago,not expecting to get far.However, reading the old records and visiting libraries,she got back 300 years.She found some old stories. What happened to the big family farm?Where did the family fortune()go in the 1870s? I'm the traveler in my family,and I love travelling.I always think I got it from a great grandfather.My two favorite family heirlooms()are a photo of him on a horse and a postcard from China.If you look at your family,you open a window to the past. When my mother,still putting the family tree together,asked me for a few names from my Russian wife's family,my wife got on the phone to check a name or two.But she spent an hour talking with her mother.So you can see that some people start talking about their family stories and they might never stop exploring. To go back to that English class,let's look at some interesting ways to talk about families. English is rich in idioms(to talk about family life.The black sheep of the family is someone who brings family trouble.If you're true to your family,you can say "blood is thicker than water"."Who wears the trousers in your family?"means "Who's the head of your family?".

C Yunjin is a beautiful brocade (made in Nanjing.Jiangsu Province.Yun in Chinese means clouds and jin means brocade.The materials used in yunjin are valuable,such as silk, gold and silver,resulting in its high collecting value. Yunjin,with a history of over 1,600 years,has the best quality among all the brocades in China.It stands for the finest Chinese silk cloth.The brocade comes out from a traditional wooden loom (as big as 5.6 meters long,1.4 meters wide and 4 meters high.The huge loom needs two people to work,one above and one below.The process is so long and difficult that a brocade with a length of 5 to 6 centimeters takes two people all day to make and the production cannot be replaced with modern machines.Its pictures are large in shape and the use of gold and silver makes them rich and shining.In ancient times,yunjin served as materials for royal family's clothes and to beautify their palaces.It was also used as gifts for important foreign guests. With the development of technology and changes in people's lifestyle,young people have less interest in traditional arts which require a long time of learning and practicing.To pass down the skills of yunjin,the Chinese government set up Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute in 1957, which has helped spread the culture of brocade and built a cultural bridge between China and the world. 9.Why does yunjin has a high collecting value? A.Because it has a long history. B.Because it has the best quality C.Because it is made of valuable materials.

A.The First Invention in Chinese History. B.The Biggest Change in Chinese History C.The Latest Material of Chinese Silk Cloth. D.The Greatest Symbol of Chinese Silk Cloth. D The Amazing Discovery of Plant Communication A recent study from the Chinese Academy of Sciences()has found a wonderful secret of the natural world;trees in a forest can actually "talk"to each other and work together to help each other stay healthy and grow.This discovery is changing our understanding of forests, showing they are far more than just many trees growing in one place. The study explains that trees are connected by a special web under the ground.This web is made of their roots and a kind of fungi(),which acts like a natural internet,often called the "Wood Wide Web".When a tree is attacked by insects or is short of water,it doesn't stay in silence.Instead,it sends out special messages to tell other trees about the danger through this web.Nearby trees that receive these messages will quickly start making special things to protect themselves. What's more,the help doesn't stop there.In the forest,there are larger,older trees,called "mother trees",which play an important role.They are often the most connected centre in the web and will even share valuable nutrients()and water with younger trees through their roots and the fungi,giving them a better chance to grow better. This exciting discovery teaches us a very important lesson about nature.It helps us understand why it's important to protect whole forest ecosystems,not just focusing on single trees.When we cut down too many trees,we break their communication and support webs.Then, they cannot help each other when there is a big storm,a tree sickness,or other problems like climate change.Life becomes much harder for them. The research team leader,Dr.Wang,shared his thoughts on the bigger lesson:"This teaches us a beautiful lesson about working together and community.Just like trees that support each other unconditionally,we humans should also work together to protect our environment.Every 4/8 tree matters in a forest,just as every person matters in our society.This finding reminds us that we are part of an interconnected world,and our future depends on learning from the wisdom of nature. 13.How do trees mainly "talk"to each other according to the study? A.By sending messages through the air. B.By changing the color of their leaves. C.Through their roots and a special web under the ground. D.By wind and air. 14.What do "mother trees"do to help younger trees? A.Give them more sunlight. B.Share nutrients through their roots. C.Protect them from strong winds.D.Help them fight the insects. 15.What does Dr.Wang mainly want to tell us? A.Cutting down trees is important for making cities bigger. B.Humans should learn from trees and work together. C.Older people are always wiser than young people. D.Trees are as important as people. 16.Which of the following best describes the purpose of the passage? A.To explain how fungi help trees grow. B.To describe the dangers forests are facing. C.To tell us about a scientific discovery and its lesson on working together. D.To encourage people to protect plants. 第二节阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个 多余的选项。 Living in a messy home is not enjoyable.It can make you feel worried,because you always have trouble finding things and the mess might even make you feel bad.However,a clean and tidy home can make your life more comfortable.17.

Curiosity can also make people brave.Just look at Wan Hu,the Ming Dynasty pioneer of space 35(explore).He was so curious about space that he invented a"flying chair"!He lost his life while testing this invention. Despite the failure,his curiosity gave future explorers36(idea).People learnt from his example,37 created safer ways to explore space.

Zhang Heng,a Chinese scientist and inventor,was curious about the world:how did everything in the world move?He spent years studying the sky and the earth.Finally,he38(draw) China's first star map,and invented the39(one)earthquake detector.His curiosity continues to influence scientists today.
