Dear Nina,
Thanks for your e-mail. Yes, I am in Japan now.
Food can be very expensive in Japan. We learned this is the first time we went to get some food. As soon as we reached Osaka(大阪), we decided to look for a Japanese restaurant near the airport. We wanted to eat noodles, and we found a nice restaurant. The menu was easy to read because it was written in Japanese and English, with pictures of the food. However, I was shocked when I saw the prices. On the first page of the menu there were dishes for 8,000 yen and 12,000 yen. I even saw a dish for 23,000 yen. In other words, these dishes cost $80, $120, and $230. Luckily, the noodles we ordered were only 800 yen.
Prices for food can be high here, but they don’t have to be. We soon realized that there was a lot of excellent food in Japan at good prices. Some restaurants that sell noodles can have nice meals for between five or ten dollars. We can also have a nice cup of coffee for $5, but it’s also easy to find coffee or soft drinks at the train or subway stations for a little over $1.
Hope you are having a good time back home. By the way, how’s my cat?
Nancy

B. You can find cheaper food to eat in Japan.
C. You have to eat expensive food in Japan.
D. They needn’t to sell food here.

A. The prices of food in Japan. B. Different kinds of food in Japan.
C. The most expensive food in Japan. D. Japanese food is very delicious.

With the Chinese New Year coming, let's welcome the Year of the Tiger. Do you know anyone born in the Year of the Tiger? What are they like? Are they brave, strong and tenacious (顽强的)？If so, then they are a typical "tiger".
In Chinese culture, tigers are considered the king of all animals. They stand for power, energy, protection, generosity(大度的) and unpredictability (难以捉摸). Tigers are regarded as fearless creatures, so that's why in China you can see images of tiger on the walls of temples and houses toward off disasters and danger.
Tigers have an important cultural meaning not just in China, but across Asia. For example, strong economies in the East-Singapore, South Korea, China's Hong Kong and Taiwan - were called "The Four Asian Tigers". In the book Life of Pi, the writer Yann Martel chose a Bengal tiger as the partner for Indian boy Pi.
Instead of tigers, lions are considered as the king of all animals in the West. Brave warriors(勇士）were given the name "the lion". In Europe, the animal is a national symbol for England as well as for Norway, Spain, Belgium and 13 other countries.
But in the West, tigers are also seen as a very powerful animal. In English, if you want someone to calm down, you can say to them, "easy tiger". Another famous phrase is: "Eye of the Tiger", which means fierceness (凶恶）and strength.
Tigers are also one of my favorite animals. I first learned about the beauty of tigers as a child, while watching animal documentaries(纪录片）. If you ask my mom, she'll tell you that my most precious toy while growing up was my toy tiger. As a young animal lover, I felt so sad that they were an endangered species（濒临绝种） and I wanted to help protect them.
Just like tigers serve as a symbol of protection in Chinese culture, we can only hope that in the Year of the Tiger more people can learn about tigers and help protect them.
( )57. According to the text, people born in the Year of the Tiger may be ________. 
A. careful B. easy-going C. kind D. brave
( )58. The main idea of Paragraph 3 is___________.
A. Tigers have an important cultural meaning in China.
B. What "The Four Asian Tigers" is.
C. Tigers are often used as a symbol in Europe.
D. Tigers also have an important cultural meaning in other Asian countries.
( )59. Which sentence is right according to the text？
A. Tigers are also considered as the king of all animals in the west.
B. Lions are the writer's favorite animals and they are in danger.
C. In English, when somebody gets happy you can say "easy tiger".
D. The writer hopes more people can help protect tigers.
( )60. Which is the best title of this passage?
A. Talk about tigers—in the Year of the Tiger B. Why we should protect tigers?
C. Tigers—the king of all animals. D. Tigers—the culture symbol of China.
D
Before we upload a photo of ourselves to social media, like WeChat, we'll use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and give us longer eyelashes and fuller lips. With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, we're able to present the best pictures of ourselves to others.
However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections（瑕疵）away, we're also changing the way we look at our ourselves. （1）.
Last month, researchers from the US Boston University published an article Selfies﹣Living in the Era of Filtered（滤镜）Photographs. The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries. （2）.
The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell between reality and fantasy（虚幻）. “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article says. （3）.
In the past, people might compare their looks to those who were famous that time. But for today's young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms, and their feelings are connected to how good they look,” a British doctor Escho said.
（4）“Now you've got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the HuffPost website. He further pointed out that when people spend too much time comparing with others, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.
So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn't think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam（美颜）?” Instead, we should think, “I feel good, I have my health.”
( )61. What may people do before they present the best of themselves on social media?　
A. Wearing false eyelashes. B. Redding their lips before going out.
C. Using apps to edit photos. D. Smoothing their skin in the morning.
( )62. Where should we put the sentence “This is why many young people suffer an appearance worries when it comes to how they really look.”?
A. （4） B. （3） C. （2） D. （1）
( )63. Who did people use to compare their looks to?
A. Famous people B. People who they see on social media.
C. Family members. D. Their friends.
( )64. Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A. Everybody looks as good as himself in the Beauty Cam.
B. These apps make it easy to tell between reality and fantasy.
C. The article listed the bad and good effects of photo editing on people.
D. People today pay more attention on how good they look than in the past.
( )65. What did the author write this passage for?
A. To call on people to care more about appearance.
B. To call on people not to use apps on mobile phones.
C. To call on people to spend too much time comparing with others.
D. To call on people to learn something more important than appearance.

The Awakening Age《觉醒年代》, a TV series telling the story of how the Party was founded(成立) in 1921 has become a hot topic and has won praise（赞扬）among lots of young people in China recently, who found the part of history inspiring（鼓舞人心的）.
The history of the birth and growth of the Communist Party of China (CPC中国共产党) a century ago has drawn the interest of many young Chinese audiences（观众）. It is reported that some young audiences even look through history books while watching the shows to better understand them.
"I love the scene in which young Mao Zedong first appears（出现）in the series so much and have watched the two-minute video several times. He walks through the rain, shining like a light," one reviewer wrote.
Director (导演)Zhang said that the biggest pressure（压力）in making The Awakening Age comes from how to make it more accepted by young audiences in China, who have set very high standards（标准）for historical movies and TV shows.
Using the New Youth magazine as background material, the series linked Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, and Hu Shi, shining names in the history. Stories about how Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and other passionate youths（有志青年）pursued truth and explored knowledge were also included in the series. Those great men of that generation have great love for the family and the nation. These spirits, passing down from generation to generation, will continue to enlighten（启发）the young generation of today. Many audiences look forward to the sequel（续集）to the series, but Director Zhang says all the Chinese people today have already seen it and are enjoying it.
Answer the following questions with no more than 9 words.
106. How long has the Communist Party of China been founded?

107. What do some young people do to understand the TV series better when watching it?

108. How does Mao Zedong first appears in the series?

Having good reading habits makes a great difference to you. If you want to have good reading habits, I have some advice for you.
First, choose the right book. You can ask your teachers and parents for some advice about reading. You can borrow books from the school library or buy some from bookshops. You’d better read the four great classical Chinese novels.
Second, plan your time well. You should give yourself at least half an hour for reading every day. After you make the plan, don’t change it easily. For example, make it a habit to read before you go to sleep.
Third, always carry a book with you. When you leave home, remember to take a book with you. When you are free, you can read it any time.
Finally, find a quiet place to read. You can find a quiet room with a comfortable chair, then you can enjoy reading a book in the chair.
I hope my advice can help you form some good reading habits.
