Thank you very much. Thank you!

It’s been nearly 40 years since I became a member of the navy. You may be wondering how I have won so many honors as a commander-in-chief. In fact, it all began from the half a 16 basic training, which I will never forget, The training included midnight swims in the cold water, days without 17 and long painful runs in the soft sand, I always felt cold, wet, sleepy and painful.
The training also needed to find those who could 18 in an environment of stress, mess, failure and hardships. To me, the basic training was a lifetime of challenges that lasted six months. And today, I’d like to talk about one little thing, which I think is one of the most important points leading to great 19 .
Every morning in the training, my instructors(教官)would 20 in our rooms. The first thing they did was to 21 our beds. The corners would be square if we did it right. The covers would be pulled tight, and the pillow would be centered just under the headboard.
It was a(n)___22___task. But every morning we were required to make our beds 23 . It seemed a little funny, but the wisdom of this simple act has been proved to me many times over.
If you make your bed every morning, you will have completed the 24 task of the day. It will bring you a small sense of success, and it will 25 you to do another task, and another and another. And by the end of the day, one task completed will have 26 into many tasks completed. Making your bed will prove the fact. If you can’t do the little things right, you will 27 be able to do the big things right.
28 the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it. I can make sure that it doesn’t matter whether I ever 29 a day in uniform. Even now, I still start my day with making the bed to perfection. So if you have an awful day by accident, you will come home to a bed that is made-that you made-and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.
In general, if you want to change the world, 30 off by making your bed. I hope all of you will have a brighter future!

Do you like reading? Today let me share something about reading in China. With rapid development of technology and the Internet, new methods and ecological(生态的)ideas provide more possibilities for the Chinese to read. The newly national reading report shows that 80 percent of Chinese adults read books, newspapers or magazines in 2018, a year-on-year increase.
Prevailing(盛行的)digital(数字的)reading
The growth of digital reading has made reading more popular among the Chinese. According to a survey, about 76 percent said they had accessed(访问)content through digital channels. Chen Chengpei, an office worker in Xiamen City loves reading on his mobile phone app in his spare time. He thinks it’s so easy to kill the spare minutes. Mobile phone reading has become the main channel for him to get information. He has downloaded seven news apps, through which he reads for one or two hours a day.
Listening to audiobooks has become a new growth point in terms of reading habits. Zhang Jin from Beijing likes reading 40 minutes on his mobile while going to work on the bus in the morning. and listening to audiobooks on the way home. According to Ximalaya, 16.9 percent of its total users listen to its audiobooks. To attract more users, the mobile app allows users to vote for the book they hope to listen to most. The audio app tries to meet their needs.
①
Li Yang, a student in Beijing, used to be worried by piles of books as her house is too small. The problem was solved when she started to sell the used books on an online second-hand bookstore Deja Vu. “By selling them, most of my books which used to gather dust in the corner can come to life again.” she said.
According to a survey by giant Alibaba in 2018, the market for the second-hand book was booming last year as more Chinese tend to trade or exchange their used books online.
The rise of online second-hand book platforms and sharing ideas also contributed to the booming book recycling.
Users are able to sell their books by scanning the barcode(扫条形码)of books and then wait for the courier(快递员)to collect them. The collected books will be cleaned, disinfected (消毒)and packed before selling to other readers at a lower price.
According to Deja Vu, its total users hit l.4 million in 2018, with 2 million used books being sold. It has a daily business of 20,000 books. “When I see my books being read by others, I can feel a pleasure of sharing, which is really amazing.” LiYang said.

When I was young, I lived in Scotland with my parents. I had a good time there.
One morning, I ran to the garden, and said to the old Scotsman who worked there. “Today I am going up the mountain for berries.”
“No, no, Missey, not today.” he said , “It will rain.”
“No, it will not rain.” I said, “The sun is up. The cook says it will be fine. The glass in the hall does not say rain.”
“Tuts, tuts.” said the old man, “I care for no suns, or cooks, or glasses. The pimpernel (海绿)says it will rain, and so it will rain. Flowers, Missey, always tell the truth. When they say rain, go and get your umbrella.”
Sure enough, by noon the rain was pouring down. After that, I looked with great respect at the tiny flower, sometimes brickred, sometimes blue, which could tell about the weather. But the pimpernel is not the only plant that is a weather prophet.
If you go into the garden, and find the African marigolds shut after seven o’clock in the morning, you may be pretty sure that there will be a rainy day. There is a little single marigold which shuts up in a hurry if the sky becomes clouded. It is called the “rainy-marigold”.
Most plants which we call “weather prophets” shut up for rain. But some plants open for rain. The cause of the opening and closing is probably the difference in light. Most likely these plants shut their flowers because there is too little light.
But you know there are some plants which become smaller in a strong light and love the shade. You will find that most shade-loving plants, as the verbenas, do not close for rain.
Lilies, tulips and other flowers that love the sun shut for rain. Tulips are careful not to open their cups very wide in the morning if it is likely to rain. The roses make no change. They seem not to fear wet.
On the whole, you may be pretty sure, if you go into your garden, and find many flowers-as tulips, marigolds and morning glories-shut, it will be a stormy day, unfit for picnics or long walks.
38. The plants which are “weather prophets” _____. （　　）
A. become smaller in a strong light B. tell about the weather
C. open for rain and fear light D. love shade and wet
39. You can go out for a picnic when _____. （　　）
A. the morning glories and lilies do not shut
B. the African marigolds shut after 7:00 a. m.
C. die pimpernels open wide in the daytime
D. the roses and tulips shut in the sunshine
40. What do we know from the passage? （　　）
A. The flowers have four ways to help people to get information about weather.
B. The glass in the hall has magic for the writer’s family to know about weather.
C. We can know about weather by keeping many roses at home or in the garden.
D. Missey will probably know about weather by watching flowers from now on.
41. The passage is mainly about _____. （　　）
A. watching flowers carefully before going out
B. learning to watch flowers from the old Scotsman
C. the importance of growing flowers in the garden
D. the relationship between some flowers and weather
D
We never forget when Perronet came to us. It was on a spring afternoon. We never knew who drowned Perronet, but David pulled him out of the water and saved his life, People sometimes asked us what kind of dog he was, but we never knew, except that he was the nicest possible kind. Mother said we could not afford him because of the tax(税)and his keep. The tax was five shillings(先令), but it was nearly a year before the time when it must be paid. At last, we decided that all three of us would give up sugar toward saving the cost of his keep. It was the hardest for David because he was fond of sweet things, but then, he was fond of Perronet. So we all gave up sugar, and Perronet was allowed to remain.
We were very happy that summer. The boys were especially happy. The only thing that vexed me was Perronet’s tax money, for months and months went on and we didn’t save it. One day, I found David alone with Perronet in his arms. He was crying, and feeding Perronet with cake. I can’t bear to see boys cry. I begged of David to stop, and told him I should certainly think of something.
One day, we were all in school. The schoolmaster told us that there was to be a flower show for the school children this year, and that an old gentleman would give prizes to the best arranged wild flowers. There was to be a first prize of five shillings, and a second prize of a half crown, for the best collection of wild flowers, with their names upon them. I squeezed(挤)David’s arm, and whispered, “Five shillings!”
I thought I could never get my lessons that day, for all day I was thinking about Perronet’s tax money. At night, I said to them, “Look here! I’ll make a collection of flowers. You two can make a collection of mosses(苔藓). There are ten kinds of mosses by the river, and we have names of our own for them.” The boys agreed. Richard made me a box. We put wet sand at the bottom, then feather moss, and into that I stuck the flowers. I got all the flowers and all the grasses ready and printed the names on pieces of cardboard, to stick in with them. I didn’t like it when it was done, but Richard praised it and that cheered me. I thought their mosses were beautiful.
The day of the flower show was very hot. When we reached the tent, it was filled with grown-up people. It was very hard work getting about and trying to see the stands with flowers. We kept seeing tickets with “First Prize” and “Second Prize”. It made me feel sick with heat and anxiety, to think of them. We had walked slowly all round the tent. We had seen all the -------------在--------------------此--------------------卷--------------------上--------------------答--------------------题--------------------无--------------------效----------------
cucumbers, onions, lettuce, grapes, long potatoes, round potatoes and everything else. At last we saw my collection! It had a label on it, marked “First Prize”, and next to it came the boy’s moss, marked “Second Prize”. We cried “Perronet is paid for!”

Khan is now doing a one-year research program at the Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences. The program is sponsored by the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology and many young talented scientists who come from collaborating countries, such as Pakistan, are given opportunities to work in China.
Although this is his first visit to China, Khan says he is well-informed of the long friendship between China and Pakistan. He is impressed most by the cooperation (合作)in education between China and Pakistan. especially since the start-up of the Belt and Road Initiative (“一带一路”建设)in 2013.
“Many students from my university and my city have visited China and completed their higher education here.” he says, adding that he has met with many of them.
“I hear news about China on television and read about it in print media, so I know of the rapid development of China in recent decades.”
Khan says the Belt and Road Initiative will have a very positive effect on the world.
“I hope that I can stay in China to participate in such cooperation projects.” he says. Khan says life in Beijing is much easier than he’d expected, thanks to the convenient (便利的)public transportation and restaurants offering food for Muslims (穆斯林). This encouraged him to bring his family to live with him a couple of months ago.
He says that language is the only challenge for them so far. However, he finds no problem talking with his Chinese colleagues, many of whom speak good English. He also enjoys the relaxing working environment and has a very good relationship with his co-workers.

I’m Li Ming, a student in Class 8, Grade 9. I think it's necessary for me to find out my strengths and weaknesses at the end of this term.
First, I have a good habit of learning. For example, I always listen to the teacher very carefully in class and I’ll do my homework first when I get home from school every day. So I usually get good grades. Besides, I am a good athlete and good at running and playing basketball.
On the other hand, I am a little shy and not good at getting on with my classmates. So in the future I’d like to be more outgoing and try to spend more time with others. In fact, sometimes I do feel lonely and I really love to make more friends.
