It's not easy to grow up. Actually, it's far from easy. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren't allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don't understand why we can't stay young forever. When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude, we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains！

As a young girl my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that I never liked.

They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music, just because it was what they wanted me to do. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me along, not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life. They've always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.

Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying, so live life to its fullest！We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that.

The future is ours！A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone！If we realize that these pains are just small bumps (凸块) on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains！

4. According to Paragraph 1, we learn that when we are young ________.

A. life is full of joy B. life is easy for us

C. we know we can stay young forever D. we sometimes can't do things we like

5. When the author was young, she was forced by her parents to ________.

A. take music lessons B. turn gains into pains

C. look back on hardships D. live a successful life by suffering a lot

6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A Growing pains are necessary for us to grow up.

B. We all have to experience growing pains.

C. A little hard work and sweat are harmful to us.

D. Life without fear is a better choice for us.

7. Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude towards his parents now?

A. angry B. bored C. unfriendly D. thankful

C

Dogs wag (摇摆) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found.

Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behavior of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli (刺激物) with video cameras. To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years. The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at Bari University. The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow for them to view various stimuli. They were tested one at a time.

The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—a positive experience—their tails wagged energetically to the right side. When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. The appearance of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less intensity again. The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left. Researchers thought the dog was thinking of moving back. When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company. While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood of dogs. Computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.

8. The video cameras were used to catch the dogs’ responses because________.

A. it was easier to catch the dogs’ response changes in the tail wagging

B. the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time

C. they enabled the dogs’ owners to know about their dogs’ habit

D. the dogs wagged their tails in different directions when they were in different moods

9. The underlined word “intensity” in paragraph 3 means________.

A surprise B. worry C. excitement D. interest

10. When there are no stimuli, a dog will ________.

A. wag to the left B. wag to the right

C. not wag at all D. wag to the left and then to the right

11. The purpose of doing the experiment is ________.

A. to train dogs for their owners B. to help people judge the mood of dogs

C. to help dogs find company D. to help people choose their pet dogs

D

The war epic The Battle at Lake Changjin, one of the most expensive films ever made in China, shot to the top of the weeklong National Day holiday box office, promoting the domestic film market to rebound (反弹) after being inactive for more than two months.

With three outstanding directors—Chen Kaige, Hark Tsui and Dante Lam—the 176-minute-long film follows Chinese People’s Volunteers (CPV) who joined the battle, which turned the tide of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953).

With the number of cast and crew reaching an unprecedented scale of more than 12,000, the movie recreates the cruel conflict on the Korean Peninsula (朝鲜半岛) amid the extremely cold winter of 1950, when temperatures lowered to the level in 50 years. The movie’s production involved more than 80 visual-effects companies domestically and abroad, with the script being revised 37 times. Breaking over 10 records, the movie has raked in around 2 billion yuan ($ 310 million) since its opening on Sept 30. It accounted for around 75 percent of total holiday income, which had reached 2.67 billion yuan as of Monday, according to the movie information tracker Beacon. The film has also collected millions of reviews and click son several of the country’s most popular social media platforms, including Weibo and Douyin, with most commenters praising the moving tale and saying it stimulates their national pride, making them want to show their respect for the CPV heroes who sacrificed their lives. Some netizens said the film reminds them, amid the current China-US tension, to cherish today’s peaceful life.

Most analysts said the movies’ commercial success has lived up to the industry’s estimation, giving cinema operators a sign of revival. “With a lot of details to recreate historical reality, The Battle at Lake Changjin has raised the bar for Chinese war films to a new high level, signaling the progress that the domestic industry has achieved,” said Rao Shuguang, president of the China Film Critics Association.

But compared with the same period in previous years, the shortage of appealing, medium-budget films has reduced the variety of genres (体裁), which will not be good for the long-term development of the Chinese film industry, Rao added.

12. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?

A. The CPV joining the battle turned the situation of the war

B. Domestic film market has been increasing for two months.

C. The film’s success largely relies on three famous directors.

D. The film The Battle at Lake Changjin is the longest one in China.

13. Which of the following words best describe the preparation of the film?

A. Detailed and demanding. B. Significant and well-paid

C. Dangerous and adventurous. D. Breathtaking and complicated.

14. What is the influence of the movie?

A. It causes the current China-US tension.

B. It raises national pride among the netizens.

C. It has collected 300 million yuan to help CPV.

D. It is praised by over 75 percent of the viewers.

15. What message does the report convey?

A. Devotion of people requires enthusiasm.

B. The domestic market experienced ups and downs.

C Movie market rebounds but still faces problems.

D. Strong-willed Chinese people can reach their goals.
