Here are some music festivals that you might be interested in.

Boogie

Tallarook, VIC(26－28 March)

Boogie is definitely kid-friendly, but with a few rules. Kids are welcome, but need to be fully supervised（监管） at all times and out of the licensed area by 10 pm. Kids under 8 years old are admitted for free. Kids between 8 and16 get in cheaper. There are some activities for kids and a great kid-friendly area.

Splendour in the Grass

Byron Bay, NSW(24－26 July)

Look, Splendour can be pretty crazy, so if you and your kids are out of practice with handling festivals and the stress they can sometimes bring, maybe you should try starting smaller. But if you feel like you can do it, then your kids are welcome to hit Splendour with you. The usual rules apply — you'll need to have them with you at all times if they are under 16 and they can't go into bars. If the child is under 11, then they will get in for free.

The Gum Ball

Hunter Valley, NSW(22－24 April)

We didn't originally include the Gum Ball because they took last year off and we wanted to make sure they were definitely returning. Not because we have anything against them. On the contrary, they are one event that manages to balance brilliant music and a family-friendly vibe.

Bellingen Turtlefest

Bellingen(30 September－2 October)

Great music for a great cause! Bellingen Turtlefest has been set up to raise funds and awareness for the critically endangered Bellinger River Snapping Turtle, while giving families a chance to enjoy some great music at the same time. There's a kidzone, sideshows, workshops and markets, but also an education center and some guest speakers so that the kids (and you) can learn a thing or two while you're at the event.

1. If a 10-year-old goes to Boogie, he/she_____.

A. cannot find a great kid-friendly area there     B. must leave the licensed area by 11 pm

C. must stay with an adult all the time          D. doesn't have to pay for admission

2. Which of the following festivals failed to be included in the beginning?

C. Boogie                                  D. Bellingen Turtlefest

3. What do the festivals have in common?

A. They're all held in the summertime.             B. They're all free for kids under 11.

Wolf Warrior 2, a movie that made box office history in China in 2017, tells the story of how the Chinese government successfully rescues overseas Chinese citizens in Africa.

At the end of the film, there is one line that stands out: “When you meet with danger in a foreign land, do not give up! Please remember, at your back stands a strong motherland.”

The movie sends the message that overseas Chinese will always receive timely help from China. But in the future, some headstrong(任性的) citizens will not get this help for free, People’s Daily reported.

On March 26, the Ministry of Foreign Affaires (MFA) worked out a draft for regulations on consular (领事的) protection and assistance, the Xinhua News Agency reported. The draft says that those who insist on travelling to dangerous places without considering warnings given by the MFA will not be able to take advantage of free rescue services. For example, the MFA recently release a travel advisory (安全提醒) saying that Chinese citizens should avoid travelling to Maldives. Chinese who travel there and run into trouble may still ask for aid from the Chinese Embassy. But they will have to cover the cost of their rescue later.

In fact, this is a common international practice, People’s Daily said. Countries like the US, the UK and Canada have similar regulations.

According to the MFA, over 130 million Chinese mainlanders travelled overseas in 2017. The MFA issued over1000 travel advisories to advise Chinese citizens of the risks they may face when travelling.

4．Why does the author quote a line from Wolf Warrior 2 ?

A．To explain what the movie is about. 

B．To describe the feelings after watching the movie.

C．To stress that China will help every Chinese person.

D．To prove how strong China is.

5．Who usually gives warnings about travelling abroad?

A．People’s Daily     B．The MFA    C．Xinhua News Agency D．Travel agencies.

6．The draft suggests that ______.

A．Chinese people can’t travel to foreign places

B．Free rescue services have come to an end

C．Chinese who travel to Maldives will run into trouble

D．People will not get free help if they ignore the MFA’s warnings

7．If the regulation is put into practice, we can infer that _____.

A．China will be the first country in the world to do so

B．People may have second thoughts about travelling to dangerous places

C．The number of people who can travel overseas will be less than 130 million

D．Only rich people will be able to afford to travel overseas

C

Who needs friends? According to most psychologists, we all do, especially nowadays when so many other aspects of modern life are changing. It seems that having friends keeps us both healthy and happy.

The number of TV series about groups of friends shows just how important friendship is to us. Psychologist Dorothy Rowe says that many of us now turn to our friends, instead of our families, for advice, comfort and security. One woman named Rebecca she interviewed even told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend, she would choose her friend.

Since our friends mean so much to us, it is not surprising that the happiest marriages are also friendships. “Once the romantic stage of a relationship has passed, it is friendship that holds people together,” says Rowe. If the couple do not make some change, they will either get tired of each other and break up or stay together and seek friendship with others.

But is friendship equally important to women and men? According to author Rhonda Pritchard, women are more likely than men to have close friends. “You tell a friend things that you’d never tell a partner”, says one woman she interviewed. For men, friendship is usually based on doing things together rather than the private conversations that are typical of women friend. Men share time and activities like building a fence or a business, running, riding a bike, fishing or watching football, but they don’t often share their feelings.

Although many women find their relationships with a husband or boyfriend is not enough, many men say that their partner is their best friend. Even women who are very happily married are likely to become very unhappy without a close friend and can even find the breakup of a close friend as painful as the end of a marriage.

8. What did Rebecca think about friendship?

A. Families are reliable forever.                       B. One needn’t have too many friends.

C. Her friend means more to her than her husband.       D. Friends are as important as families.

9. Some couples look for friends outside their relationships because         .

A. they don’t get what they need from their partners. 

B. they are not fairly treated by their partners.

C. they are encouraged by their partners.

D.they think their friends are more romantic.

10. What is the main difference between men’s and women’s friendships?

A. Women often do things together.                  

B. Men seldom talk about their feelings.

C. Women often talk about business with friends.     

D. Men often talk to their friends about work and family.

11. When a friendship ends, some women may      .

A. turn to their husband for comfort.               B. share feelings with their partners.

C. treat their partners as friends.                   D. feel as upset as when a marriage ends.

D

Many people think the novel coronavirus will disappear as the temperature  41  (go) up. However, whether it will or not is still uncertain. Experts have warned that it is unwise to bet on the hot weather     42   (stop) the spread of the virus.

If the virus is anything like a typical flu virus, it may worsen     49     (great) in Southern Hemisphere regions(南半球地区) as the seasons change,” Another professor from Peking University also has the opinion that although warmer temperatures disadvantage virus spread, people shouldn’t count on it. “compared with the unreliable theories, taking personal protective measures     50     (be) much more practical and effective.”

Dear Mr.Smith,

 I’m Li Hua, a student from Class One, Grade One. I’m writing to thank you for returning my schoolbag.

Last Sunday, I left my schoolbag on the playground owing to my carelessness. I was worried because my student’s ID card, wallet and some documents were all in it, which were very important to me. Just as I was at a loss,I was informed that my schoolbag was at the school’s Lost and Found and it was you who had found my schoolbag. My excitement was truly beyond description at that moment.

Please accept my sincere thanks for your help.

Yours sincerely,

                                                                        Li Hua
