She loved living across the street from the railway station.Sometimes, Gertrude was ill and had to stay home from school. When she was not feeling well, books were her friends. One day in 1899, while she was reading a book, Gertrude, at the age of 9, glanced (瞥) out the window at a train. She could see inside its last car. She saw a small stove (炉子), cups, and a coffee pot. How comfortable it looked! It was like a little home. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in a boxcar?After high school, Gertrude decided to find a job. She had always loved to write. Soon she was writing for a newspaper in her town. Later, at age twenty­six, she wrote her first real book. With her sister Frances, Gertrude wrote more books. Most of these were for grown­up readers.In 1924, Gertrude wondered again about living in a train car. She decided to write a story called The Boxcar Children. The characters in the book were called the Alden children. They were named Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny. Afraid of living with a grandfather they had never met, the Alden children made a home for themselves in an old red boxcar they discovered in the woods. The oldest boy Henry worked in a nearby town to buy food and other things they needed. The brave children made a happy life for themselves and had many adventures (奇遇) together. When Gertrude became a teacher, she read the boxcar book to her pupils.During the next thirty years, Gertrude wrote eighteen more books about the boxcar children. She died in 1979, but her well­loved books live on.

Tibet was a place I wanted to to see and discover but I was unable to find the right time to go. After a few talks with my dad, we decided to take a pause in our lives for a few weeks in July 2019 to start an amazing adventure.  We started our journey on a Saturday morning at the Guangzhou train station in South China. We started the journey admiring the mysterious mountains of South China. The next day it changed quite suddenly to the dry, waterless landscape of central-west China as we passed through shaanxi and Gansu provinces. That evening we arrived in Xining, Qinghai Province,where we got onto the Xinig- Lhasa train.  We were welcomed on the train with Tibetan yogurt. The train signs were also written in Tibetan; the beautiful handwriting matched its environment and people.The following afternoon we arrived in Lhasha, one of the highest altitude city in the world. Lhasa is a gem hidden on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau(青藏高原)。We started our tour of Lhasa by exploring the palace and watching local Tibetans do morning prayers and dances in the park. Overlooking the Jokhang Temple, a golden temple in the middle of old Lhasa, we enjoyed an amazingly breathtaking view. We visited the temple next before walking in the old quarter and Barkhor Street in the evening, where we tried local food and bought local products.  The following day, we started our journey to the Mount Qomolangma base camp by road from Lhasa.Along the way, we stopped to admire the beautiful Yamdrok lake, a huge freshwater lake that is one of the three Sacred lakes (圣地)in Tibet.Yaks (牦牛) in blankets and bells at the lake made for a picturesque impression of perfect countryside Tibet.  About a week later, the highlight came in the afternoon when we arrived at the Mount Qomolangma base camp. We were staying in the guesthouse just next to the base camp. After dropping off our backpacks, we headed straight outside to see the magnificent Mt Qomolangma. There it was, the top of the mountain peeking though the clouds, astonishing us with its unbelievable height. We enjoyed the mountain waves and saw the beautiful clouds separated until the sunset over the peak, feeling I would have regretted for the rest of my life if I hadn’t made the journey.7.

I still remember how hard first day was. Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructor’s orders, so once I started the car, my mind goes blank. I forgot what he had said to me altogether. The instructor kept repeating the word, “ Speed up!” “Slow down!” “turning left!” I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left. A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to stop the car. It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road.  一  阅读理解 （10X5）12345678910            二  七选五 （ 5X6）12345       三  短文改错（10X2） 1.________  2._______ 3._________ 4._________  5.___________ 6.________  7._______ 8._________ 9._________  10.__________
