He didn't want to go to school, so his mother made him go out to the street and collect waste to make money. It made me think of one of my unforgettable experiences. Last winter, I didn't want to go to school because I was sad about my exam grades. My parents were very angry with me. My father asked me to find a part-time job during the winter vacation. Because I didn't have any work experience, the boss just asked me to send newspapers. In the beginning, I thought that it would be a piece of cake. To my surprise, when I went to people's houses, they started to look me up and down. I could feel they looked down on me. I felt uncomfortable. Then I went to one house, and a black dog jumped out suddenly. I was so afraid that I shouted loudly. But no one came to help me. At that time, I knew sending newspapers was a lot more difficult than reading a book in the classroom. I thought about giving up, but I didn't. I tried my best to finish the job. Although I was very tired, I could do the job better after some time. Now, I am back in the classroom and studying harder than ever before. And I am also more outgoing and happier. As long as I don't lose my heart and work harder, I will do better in studying. 16. Why did the writer want to give up his study? A. He did badly in the exam. B. He wanted to make money. C.

The mountain was once called Mount Daishan, Mount Daizong or Mount Taiyue and was renamed Mount Taishan in the Spring and Autumn Period. It wonderful Chinese culture and was listed in the World Natural and Cultural Heritage List of UNESCO in 1987. In ancient times, the first thing for an emperor to do when sitting on the throne(王位)was to climb Mount Taishan. It was said that 72emperors made pilgrimages ( 朝 圣) to this mountain in ancient times. This brought the mountain great fame. And many poets and writers also visited the mountain to get inspiration(灵感). The great temples and the stone inscriptions(碑文) attract many visitors. Mount Taishan is a natural museum. Heavenly Queen Pool, Red Gate Palace, Mid-Heaven Gate, and Bixia Temple are powerful examples. Besides these, Mount Taishan has unique natural scenery too. The tall hills, deep valleys, wonderful waterfalls, beautiful rocks and centuries-old trees will certainly stop your step with no thought of leaving. There are four wonders of the mountain.

With the development of science and technology (科技的发展), almost everything in our life becomes smart. These years, watching videos online is becoming more and more popular. You can see many people watching short videos on the bus or the subway to relax after a day's work. However, the number of people reading words is getting smaller. Some people are afraid that videos will take the place of words one day. But will it really happen? Videos can in fact help us get new information more quickly. But can they help us learn about the early world very well? Many stories in history are in words: We can truly learn about what people did many years ago through reading these words. Short videos are a kind of “instant culture”. They come into and leave our minds like flying cars. We often want to look for the second video after finishing watching one. But can we always remember what these videos are about? When we read a long story well, we often remember what it is about. Words also let us use our imagination (想象力), but videos don't. In a word, videos can change (改变) the way people learn about the world and the way they have fun, but words will never go away. Words will be like stars shining(照耀) from the past to the future. 35.

V.阅读表达跨数学学习 阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。 A study shows that people may remember math better if they learn it before bedtime. People usually think it's better to study in the morning, but scientists in the UK said that a good night's sleep helps remember things. The study asked 184 adults to learn math problems by heart. The scientists wanted to find how quickly each adult could remember the answers. These adults first had to learn the problems before bed, between 8 pm and 10:45 pm, and they had a test the next morning. A week later, the scientists asked them to learn the problems when they woke up, between 7:30 am and 10 am. The scientists tested them at the end of the day. In both tests, the adults had about 10 hours between learning the problems and taking the tests. The people who learned math problems before bed remembered them better, scoring(得分) 20.7 out of 28. The morning learners scored 18.5. We all know that sleep can help us remember things better, but most studies focus (聚焦) on how well people learn words.
