Da Yu and Chopsticks is one of them. It is said that during Yao and Shun times, Shun ordered Yu to control the flood. One day, Yu took a boat to an island. He was so hungry that he used an earth pot (泥罐) to cook meat. After the meat was well-done in boiled water, he didn’t want to waste time to wait for it to cool, so he used two branches (树枝) to pick up the meat from the soup for the first time. Later, to save time, he always took small branches to take out food from the hot pot. For a long time, he was skilled at picking up food with small sticks. In this way, the first types of chopsticks were born. The chopsticks are made of different kinds of materials including bamboo, wood, animal bone, beautiful stone, and some other materials. There are more than 200 types of chopsticks now. Among them, the bamboo chopsticks are most widely used. “A chopstick can be broken easily, ten pairs of chopsticks hold each other tightly (紧紧地) ...” The song is popular with many people, and it also shows the deep meaning of chopsticks—the importance of working together. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．What times did the story Da Yu and Chopsticks happen? 2．What did Yu use to pick up the meat from the soup for the first time? 3．How many types of chopsticks are there now? 4．What kind of chopsticks are most widely used of all? 5．What do you think of chopsticks? Passage2 Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. The umbrellas take more than 70 steps to make in Yuhang, so it takes at least a week to make an umbrella. In 2007, these umbrellas were added to Zhejiang Province’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录). In 2015, Liu Weixue left a well-paid job to learn the art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. “When it rains, someone uses the umbrella—that’s what I want to see.” After getting the skills, Liu opened a studio (工作坊) and he improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the thin paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. In 2017, Liu opened an online shop to sell umbrellas. It now has more than 80,000 followers. To keep the quality (质量), his studio makes only 1,000 umbrellas each year. Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to some schools in Yuhang to teach students.

Every Sunday, my mother will buy a lot of food and bring it to my grandma’s house. We will wait for more family members to come before eating together at the table, my grandma’s dinner table. In the past, I felt that was a little silly (愚蠢的) tradition. However, I find it’s fantastic to get together as a family now. For me, dinner is not just a meal, but a good time to talk and play with family. We can talk about anything and everything after a long week of school and work. Every time I sit at the dinner table, my grandma’s dinner table, I look around and find so many people who truly love me. It makes me feel so happy. Finally, I understand the true meaning of this tradition. It’s not about the dinners or activities. It’s about family, a group of people who care about each other. Now, I’m always expecting Sunday to arrive. All the memories (记忆) around my grandma’s dinner table will last forever. 1．How often do the writer’s family members get together for dinner? 2．What did the writer think of the family dinner in the past? 3．What does the writer think of the family dinner now? 4．What’s the true meaning of this tradition? 5．Do you like family dinners?

In India, there are hundreds of laughter clubs. The people in these clubs get together every morning. First, they stretch their hands above their heads. Then they pretend (假装) to laugh. Soon everyone is laughing naturally. People say they feel good after laughing together. Scientists believe that laughter is good for you. Why? For one thing, laughter is good exercise. When you laugh, you exercise many muscles (肌肉) in your body. Scientists say that one hundred laughs equals (等于) ten minutes of running. When you laugh, you also breathe deeply. This helps you relax. That’s good for you, too. Why do we laugh? That is a hard question to answer. We know that people laugh more often in a group. They don’t laugh very often when they are alone. Laughter helps us feel part of a group, so many scientists believe that we use laughter to connect (连接) to other people. In England, people say that laughter is the best medicine.

Do you think so? 1．How many times a day do people laugh? 2．At a laughter club, what do people do first? 3．What happens to people when they laugh? 4．Why do scientists think that laughter helps us connect to other people? 5．Do you like laughing?

Passage2 Not all penguins live in cold places. African penguins live in the south of Africa. Like other penguins, African penguins spend most of the day feeding in the ocean, and that helps keep them cool. Most other penguins lay their eggs in the open. However, African penguins do it in a different way. They dig holes to lay their eggs so that they are protected from the sun’s heat (高温). The baby penguins stay in the holes for about three weeks. After that, they start going out and return to the holes to stay cool and avoid dangerous animals. On land, some animals, such as dogs and cats, will eat penguins. African penguins are in danger now.
