As a teenager, I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others. Because of that, I often made them feel uncomfortable. And now I often ________ my bad action.

I still remember it was early autumn. Some ________ started to turn yellow and the weather became cool. One day, as I was getting ready for school, my mother carelessly handed me my father’s vest (背心) instead of mine. At that time, I was getting to have a ________ size than my father, so when I put on the vest, I felt as if I wasn’t able to breathe! I realized that it was a small mistake which was ________ by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. My mother said sorry with a smile, but I shouted at her without thinking much. I was almost mad. I got it off my body so wildly that I made a hole in it. I put on my own vest and ________ out of the house before my mother could stop me.

Later, my mother shared her bad feelings with my father, “See what your son has done.” I got afraid because I didn’t know what he would do to me. Instead of saying he would blame or beat me, my father ________ asked my mother to mend the vest.

Later when my mother told me about my father’s response, I felt terribly sorry for my bad behavior. My father’s gentle kindness taught me a lesson which I would never forget.

In a town there lived a little, beautiful and smart girl. Her name was Rose. Everyone in the town liked her. She was very brave, but she was scared of the doctor. One day one of her teeth was moving. Her mom saw it. She said, “One of your teeth is moving, and you need to visit Doctor Tim.”

Rose said, “No! I’m not going to the doctor.” Mom said, “Don’t worry. It’s not so wobbly (擺動(dòng)的) now, we needn’t go to the doctor at once.” That made Rose feel better.

After five weeks, Rose forgot about her tooth but her mom didn’t. She checked her tooth again and it was quite wobbly, so she said, “It’s time to see the doctor.”

In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second-largest maker of smartphones. It has also become the world’s largest supplier of 5G. In China and even in the world, Huawei is a wonder. Although it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies.

But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U.S. government ordered a ban (禁令) on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, The U.S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt.

“We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information.” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s founder and president said. “The ban from the U.S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.” Ren added.

In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only £4,000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic (浪漫的) as you imagine.”

Facing the ban of the U.S., Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunications equipment supplier, selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

1.From what Ren Zhengfei said, we can learn that Huawei ________.

A.is deeply affected by the ban

B.has got into the system of the U.S.

C.can solve the problems they are facing

D.is asked to supply information to China

2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means ________.

A.Huawei’s developing experience was hard

B.it was romantic to start a company with £4,000

C.people can understand Huawei’s experience easily

D.the romantic experience was a large amount of wealth

3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.Huawei is full of hope.

B.Huawei will grow slowly.

C.Huawei’s sales will be doubled.

Fresh green grass, hundreds of colorful wild flowers, water running into little pools, birds making their homes in boxes, the 9,500-square-meter Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well-organized park, but there’s a difference. It lies on the roofs (屋頂) of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden.

Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that’s why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.

Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the “urban heat-island effect”. On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. Rooftops covered with plants help keep buildings cool. Green roofs take in rain water and protect the city drainage (排水) system. They can reduce water runoff into streets and storm water systems. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.

Also, _______. Small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it. Though they won’t directly replace ground environments, they’re perfect for attracting birds and other wildlife to create a eco-friendly habitat (棲息地).

A green roof helps to improve the overall air quality, too. According to a study, green roofs help reduce (減少) up to:

37% of sulfur dioxide

21% of nitrous acid

0.2kg of dust particles / square meter each year

While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city’s noise and traffic, whether you’re at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block?

1.With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain ________.

A.how wildlife is protected B.what a green roof is like

C.how to organize a good park D.what to do with a spare roof

2.The word “moderate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.

A.raise B.check C.record D.control

3.Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?

A.a green roof is alive B.a green roof protects animals

C.a green roof is perfect D.a green roof helps the environment

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive,” said Howard Thurman. Yes, one of the best ways to learn about other people and other places is by visiting, connecting, and experiencing them yourself. Traveling the world opens your mind.

I remember when I was traveling, I began to know the world better. The world is not just about me, my small town and home. Although you will meet different people from all over the world, you will realize that people are similar in their dreams, hopes and feelings. Enjoy exploring the different cultures, and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live. Once you understand their ways, it will not be strange or scary. Often you read stories about other cultures in books. Only when you visit their areas do you find that those stories are sometimes wrong.

One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world. You cannot just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out. The world should get involved and help wherever there are problems. People everywhere should be given a chance. It is so easy to ignore (忽視) this if one does not travel or explore. One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges worse than ours. One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big after all.

On your journey you will meet a lot of new friends. Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time. You will certainly be more confident after having to deal with problems and make many decisions along the way.

When you travel, you have to be on your own in some situations. You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that. All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read. It would be filled with all your adventures and special memories.

Traveling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience. If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences, we would all be better people and the world would be a better place.

1.The writer wants to tell us that ________ in Paragraph 2.

A.traveling can help us realize our dreams

B.traveling can help us better understand the world

C.traveling can help us find stories in books are sometimes wrong

D.traveling can help us know people all over the world are different

2.The writer advises us to help the areas in need by ________.

A.offering them chances B.sending them money

C.giving them challenges D.finding out their problems

3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Traveling Makes One a Better Person

B.Traveling Makes the World a Better Place

C.Traveling Helps People Make More Friends

D.Traveling Helps People Share Their Experiences

4.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A.To show how traveling can change the world.

B.To tell people how to travel around the world.

C.To encourage more people to travel around the world.

The Forbidden City

People who have visited the Forbidden City would be impressed (給…留下深刻印象) by the wisdom of the ancient Chinese. The Forbidden City lies in the center of Beijing, north of Tian’anmen Square. It has 9,999 buildings, which are surrounded by a six-meter-deep moat (護(hù)城河) and a ten-meter-high wall. The wall has a gate on each side: the Meridian Gate to the south, The Shenwu Gate to the north, the Xihua Gate to the west, and the Donghua Gate to the east.

The Forbidden City got its name by forbidding (禁止) common people to enter unless they were allowed. The city is divided into two parts. The southern part, or the Outer Court was where the emperor (皇帝) exercised his power over the nation. The Outer Court covers a large space between the Meridian Gate and the Gate of Heavenly Purity. The northern part, or the Inner Court, was where the emperor lived with his family members. Everything in the emperor’s personal rooms was yellow, including his clothing and bedding.

The building of the palace began in 1407, the 5th year of the Yongle rule. It was not completed until 1420. It was said that a million people, including one hundred thousand skilled workers were driven into long-term hard work. It was said that a well was dug every fifty meters along the road in order to pour water onto the road in winter to move huge stones on the ice into the city. Ancient Chinese people showed their great skills in building the Forbidden City.

Until the last emperor of China was driven from the Inner Court in 1924, fourteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing Dynasty had ruled there. The Forbidden City had been the imperial (帝國(guó)的) palace for some five centuries. It was home to a large number of people, as many as 9,000 in the high point of the Qing Dynasty, including the royal family members, servants, and guards. And now it is the world’s largest palace museum. In 1987, it was recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural legacy. Now it is also one of the most popular tourist attractions worldwide.
