However, the streets were crowed with cars, and the taxi slowly made its way to the airport through the traffic. They arrived at the airport very late, got stuck at a checkpoint for a while, and had to run all the way to the gate to catch their plane. Out of breath, they finally reached the gate. The clerk saw them dash up and shook her head sadly. "You checked in too late," the clerk said,

"so we had to give your seats to other people. Now the plane is completely full." The clerk booked them on another flight, which would leave two hours later. The family was upset, but all they could do was to wait. Mum and Dad were worried now because they were going to be late, and Grandma and Grandpa would have to wait too.

After two long hours, the family got an a plane. Kitty was very glad to see her grandparents finally.

Not long ago, I decided to read a lot of books to get more knowledge（知识）. So I went to the library and 65 happily with several books. But after a few days, I felt impatient. The idea of finishing all of them looked impossible, because I always found it 66 to calm（静心）down to read a whole book. I didn't know what to do with it. Then suddenly one day I thought of "Why not make reading fun?" It gave me 67 again.

Reading is a journey of spirit. Every time we read a book, we are actually talking 68 the writer. I tried to put all my effort（努力）into his or her books. 69 I could feel all of his or her happiness and suffering. Now books have become a part of my life.

Do you know something about rings（年轮）? Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago?

A tree will g 71 well in a climate（ 气 候 ）with lots of sunshine and rainfall. And little sunshine or rainfall will limit the growth of a tree. We can see the c  72   of climate by studying  the tree rings. For example, we can find out the weather ten years ago, we can count the rings of a tree from the o  73   to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we're sure   that it was sunny and rainy most  of that year. If  it is  n  74  the eleventh  ring, then  the climate that year was bad.

Tree rings are important  not only  for studying  the weather  but also  for studying  the h  75 of men. Many centuries ago there l  76   a lot of people at a place in New Mexico. But now you  can find only sand there - no trees and no people. What happened?

A scientist studied  the rings  of dead trees there. He  found that the  people had to leave         b 77 they had cut down all the trees to make fires and buildings. As all the trees had gone, the people there had to move.

Anyway, in the near future, you may be learning how to perform it at school.

To promote （ 提倡） traditional culture among young people, this year, about 200 schools around China will make Peking Opera a compulsory（必修的）course.

Most students think it's a good idea. Han Lang, a 14-year-old Beijinger, especially welcome

it.

"We don't need to be Peking Opera experts," said Han. "But it's a good idea to know

something about a traditional art."

"Many foreigners come to visit China every year," added Han. "If we cannot tell foreign friends anything about Peking Opera, it will be a shame（羞愧）."

But students like Ji Xuan are not as enthusiastic（热心的）as Han. The 14-year-old Shanxi girl

said the idea is not bad. But if she had a choice, she'd prefer to study Jinju Opera, a local art of Shanxi.

"Tastes differ from place to place," said Jin. "Peking Opera should be taught only in Beijing."

Some students, however, don't care what kind of opera they learn. They only care about learning.

"Learning Peking Opera won't be an easy job," said Ding Peiqi, a 14-year-old Shanghai girl.
