B[2025 湖北荆州期末]
Many years ago, the Sahara was a rich land where farmers grew crops and plants grew well. As the rainfall in the area gradually went down every year, it became a huge desert.
Gary Smith and a few of his brave friends decided to hike across the Sahara. Supporters in cars, who carried food and water for the group, stayed with them together.
One day, Gary Smith walked alone and then he couldn't find the rest of the group. Even worse, he could not find out which direction to go. Then a sandstorm covered the area. When the storm was over, Gary Smith was even more worried. In the heat that he couldn't stand, he quickly finished his water. He had to spend that night out in the open, and he almost felt he couldn't survive.
The next day, he walked on. After the second night, he started to worry about dying. He realized that his friends might not find him in time. It was late on the third day that Gary Smith lost his sense and fell over.
When Gary Smith awoke, he was in the car with his friends. He had been found by a group of Bedouin who were travelling in a truck. In such a large desert, this made it possible for him to survive. Then Bedouin helped him find his friends. Gary Smith was so lucky.

C[2025 河南信阳期末]
Body language is the act of communicating using anything other than your words. People all around the world use their bodies to express themselves: greeting someone with a hug or a handshake, smiling, frowning, waving, pointing, dancing and so much more. But gestures that mean one thing in your part of the world can mean the exact opposite somewhere else!
Bowing in the Republic of Korea
In the Republic of Korea, you bow when meeting a person for the first time, as well as to say ''Hello'' ''Goodbye'' ''Thank you'' and ''I'm sorry''. Generally, the lower you bow, the more respect you show to the other person. The long time you keep your head bowed means your seriousness. Depending on where you go, of course, the rules for bowing may be different.
Head Shaking in India
In Western cultures, when we say ''yes'', we nod our heads up and down. ''No'' is swinging the head from left to right. People from India, however, use their heads to express so much more than a simple ''yes'' or ''no''. In India, ''yes'' is expressed by tilting (使倾斜) the head from one side towards the shoulder—the faster the shake, the more certain the ''yes'' is. This gesture is popular during a conversation to show that the listener is paying attention and being agreeable.
Counting in Russia
If you count on your fingers from one to five, you may start with a balled-up fist (握拳) and gradually uncurl (伸直) each finger. In Russia, people also count with their fingers. To count to five, Russians first open their palm (手掌), then curl their fingers one by one. By ''five,'' they have a balled-up fist.

六、书面表达
Good morning, boys and girls. I'm Li Hua. I’m very glad to share my favourite book with you.
Journey to the West is my favourite book. It is written by Wu Cheng'en, a famous writer in ancient China. It tells an exciting story about four main characters: Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. They go through many difficulties and succeed in the end.
I like this book for two reasons. First, it's full of exciting fights. The Monkey King always bravely fights against monsters, which is very inspiring. Second, the story shows the spirit of never giving up. The characters face many difficulties on their journey but keep going. These qualities can encourage us to face challenges in our own lives.
That's all. Thank you for listening.
