Last summer, I joined a community project to record local folk stories. My grandma often talked about her childhood, so I was 1 to learn more about our town's past. The project leader, Mr. Chen, trained us to interview the elders and 2 their stories carefully.
At first, I was shy to talk to strangers. When I visited Mrs. Li, an 80-year-old lady, I didn’t know what to 3 . But she smiled warmly and started sharing her experience of planting rice in the 1960s. Her stories were so lively that I 4 took notes without stopping.
As we collected more stories, I found each one was a(n) 5 . Some talked about hard times, while others were full of joy. Once, an elder woman shared a folk song about harvest(丰收). We even 6 it and sang it at the project show. Many audience(观众)members cried, saying it brought back their childhood 7 .
During the project, I also met Lily, who was good at taking photos. We 8 each other—she took pictures of the elders, and I recorded their words. Working together made the task much easier. I learned that 9 isn’t just about personal effort.
After two months, we finished a book of folk stories. When we gave a copy to the elders, they were 10 and thanked us. Mr. Chen said, “You’ve helped save a part of our cultural heritage(遗产)—these 11 will never be forgotten now.”
This experience changed me. I’m no longer shy and have more 12 to talk to people. I also realized that cultural heritage is hidden in daily life, waiting for us to 13 . Now, I often ask my grandma more questions about the past.
In the future, I want to 14 similar projects. I hope to travel around our country and collect more folk stories. Every story is a link to the past, and 15 them is a way to honor our ancestors. This journey of discovery has taught me to value the past and look forward to the future with respect for our culture.

Times change, and with them, so do the places we love. The day I heard that the Bright Bookstore was closing, I felt so sad. This bookstore opened in our neighbourhood 50 years ago, serving as a great place where people could connect through their shared love of books.
When I met Old Tim, the store's owner, he told me it was difficult to run a traditional bookstore nowadays. Most young people liked reading e-books and more people bought books online.
Childhood memories came back to me clearly. A group of us kids used to come to the store. We would look through the new books, or simply chat with Tim. We spent lots of hours reading there. Tim encouraged us to share our thoughts by writing them on a large board.
A few months later, I was back and was surprised to see that the Bright Bookstore was still open for business. It was still old, but inside it was like a different world. In an area, a book reading was going on. Readers were sharing their ideas on a screen instead of the old board and some were reading books on computers. The store even had a coffee shop selling delicious food.
Tim told me that the coffee shop now hosted many community events, including book readings, concerts, and movie nights. The bookstore was turned into a place where the book lovers got together and shared ideas and experiences.
“Well, as you can see, technology and creativity have brought my old bookstore into the 21st century! I'm so glad to see that everything I wanted to offer to the community is still here,” Tim said with a smile.
No matter how times change, there are always people who love reading. With the development of technology, traditional bookstores should also change in a creative way.
21. Which picture shows the old way for kids to share their thoughts at the bookstore?
A. B. C. D.
22. How did Tim keep the bookstore open?
A. By adding a coffee shop. B. By changing its style.
C. By moving to a new place. D. By selling e-books.
23. What can we can infer from the passage?
A. Old Tim refuses new ideas.
B. Old Tim is willing to change.
C. Old Tim dislikes young people.
D. Old Tim shares ideas on a screen.
24. What might happen to the Bright Bookstore in the future?
A. The cost of running it will be lower.
B. It will bring the community closer together.
C. It will stop hosting community events.
D. It will only serve coffee to readers.
25. What's the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To introduce the history of the Bright Bookstore.
B. To share his love for reading since his childhood.
C. To complain about the difficulty of running a bookstore.
D. To show how an old bookstore stayed popular with technology.

Improvements in technology often happen overnight. Some gadgets get smaller and faster. Others are replaced by newer things like smartphones. They can do hundreds of things. Here are some old gadgets that people used to use.
①
Do you have a landline at home? These are phones that people plug(插入)into their living room walls. Mobile phones didn't use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline. But landlines only worked at home. What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines.
②
People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks(软盘). The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful—each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better. But even the best ones could only hold 1.44 MB. You would need three or four disks just for one song, and about 22,000 disks to match the storage(储存空间)available(可获得的)on a 32 GB phone!
③
It’s easy to take photos today. People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them. To take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film. This allowed you to take about 30 photos. After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop. The shop developed the photos to make them be seen, which you could collect after a few days.
Technology changes all the time, and the gadgets we use today will one day be old. What do you think will be next to disappear?
26. What does the underlined word “gadgets” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Toys. B. Tools. C. Games. D. Phones.
27. Match the title with each paragraph.
a. Goodbye Disks b. Music to My Ears. c. Picture This
b. d. Call Me e. Film Development
A.①-d,②-b,③-e B.①-d, ②-a,③-c
C.①-c,②-a,③-b D.①-c,②-b,③-e
28. What were the first floppy disks like?
A. They could store much. B. They were very useful.
C. They cost a lot of money. D. They were easy to carry.
29. What can we get from the passage?
A. It was convenient to take photos with film.
B. People outside used landlines to call someone.
C. Improvements in technology change people’s life.
D. For a time, many people had pay phones at home.
30. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Changing Phones B. The Products of Tomorrow
C. Old Things We Use Today D. The Things We Used to Use
