Every day, they would gather and share their complaints. The smart person thought it was time for a change. One day, instead of listening to their complaints, the smart person shared a funny joke. Everyone laughed and had a good time! But when he repeated the same joke, only a few people tried to smile. By the third time, nobody found it funny at all. With a friendly smile, the smart person said, “You see, my friends, even the funniest joke will get boring if you hear it too many times. It’s the same with your complaints. You keep talking about the same problems, but nothing changes. If you want things to improve, you need to take action instead of just complaining.” His words made the crowd stop and think. They realized they had been wasting their time. So, they decided to work together to find ways rather than (而不是) repeat the same problems. From then on, whenever they felt like complaining, they remembered the smart person’s words. Gradually (逐渐地), their community became a happier and more pleasant place to live in. 11. The smart person told the same joke three times to present the idea that ________.

Complaining never makes anything better. B Altay, in Northwest China’s Xinjiang, is known as the “Snow Capital of China” and the birthplace of skiing (滑雪). Recently, a popular TV show To the Wonder, coming from the novel My Altay by Chinese writer Li Juan, has drawn people’s attention to the place. The amazing landscapes (风景) and free lifestyles seen in the TV show quickly made Altay a hot place for tourists. “It’s like a place out of this world. I can’t imagine how happy I would be to wake up and see such beautiful landscapes every morning. My husband and I are planning a trip to Xinjiang and we’ll certainly include Altay in our journey,” said Zhang Chen, a 31-year-old from Beijing. Since the screening of the TV show on May 7, the number of tourists in Altay has grown rapidly. According to Fliggy, China’s leading online travel platform, searches for Altay travel increased by more than five times within just 10 days, and the number of air ticket bookings to Altay increased by more than 50 percent. The tourist season in Altay usually lasts from July to August. However, thanks to the impact of this TV show, it arrived earlier this year, around June. Actually, Altay has long been well-known for its natural beauty. However, it didn’t become very popular for certain reasons, including long travel times. Although it’s still difficult for Altay to receive large numbers of travelers, its government is trying to improve people’s travel experiences. It has a bright future for tourism development. 14.

C All parents want their children to be independent. We’ve always been surprised by news about kids travelling alone or even living alone. ____18____ So we began to question: why can’t kids in big cities learn some basic life skills such as crossing the street alone? We asked some parents this question in Beijing. Most parents only allow their kids to get around inside their compound (小区). Jackie, a mother of two, said, “We’re okay with letting kids play in the compound. But we don’t let them cross the street on their own.” What stops kids from going further? The traffic conditions. As one parent put it, “We’re living in one of the most populous cities in the world. ____19____” Jackie thinks that kidnapping (诱拐) is another reason for their worries. She has told her kids a lot about bad people and what they could do to kids. ____20____ Sharee’s 11-year-old daughter can choose to walk from the school bus stop to their home alone. But Sharee said, “I don’t think my daughter will be comfortable walking alone outside the compound.” Yes, it’s a bit hard to raise independent kids while keeping them safe in busy cities.

The purpose of the event is to raise money for charities that serve people in need. This year’s walk took place on February 24. About 700 people in the Cloverdale Community joined in the walk. The Cloverdale Community Kitchen (CCK) is a charity in the Cloverdale Community. Set up in 2011, the CCK has served meals to millions of people who are experiencing homelessness and hunger. At first, the CCK was simply a local food programme. But now it provides more services to help the most vulnerable (脆弱的) members of the community. And more than 800 volunteers work in the CCK. 10-year-old Adele Groen, who walked, is one of the volunteers in the charity. She usually helps prepare the food and set tables. She thinks doing something good with her neighbors is meaningful. Another volunteer named Riyah Frey explained why she joined in the walk. “It was good for the community and I like to help out. It was also a good use of my time,” she said. This year, people in the Cloverdale Community succeeded in raising $234,000 for the CCK through the walk. All the money is being used for the CCK’s different programmes, including Mobile Meals. It is a programme that sends low-cost hot meals to the elderly in the community four nights a week. “I love the programme because it really connects us with the elderly. Many of them are lonely. The only person they talk to is the person bringing them the meal,” said Marty Jones, the director of the CCK. 47.

Today, I’d like to share some tips on what to notice during a citywalk. First, it is necessary to plan a route before you start. Second, you’d better wear comfortable clothes and shoes because you will walk for a long time. Third, remember to take a bag so that you can carry some water and other things. Besides, there are some things we shouldn't do. Please don’t throw rubbish everywhere to protect the environment. Also, never eat unclean food, or you may get sick. Most importantly, don’t break traffic rules. Safety always comes first. I hope you can have a good time on your citywalk! Thank you. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
