A man named Joe and his wife moved to a new farm with their three sons. They were settling into the new community when a nearby farmer told Joe that there was gold in the dirt of his new land. Joe took that statement as that there was actual gold in the land. He thought to himself, “I have three strong sons, I’ll tell them about it.”

Needless to say, his sons actually began digging in one corner with a certain width and kept going until they got to the end. Once they finished they would start another piece and go back the other direction. They began to realize that digging for gold was fun!

Seeing that, Joe thought he would plant some crops where the dirt had been turned thoroughly. He planted corn, tomatoes, and potatoes. His sons continued to dig through the soil, determined to find gold.

As each different crop became ready to be harvested(收割), Joe started to realize that there was more than he and his family could ever eat. One of Joe’s neighbors suggested that he set up a vegetable stand(摊). Joe and his wife did that very thing. This process went on for three years and Joe and his wife became quite rich from it. They were even able to send their sons off to college.

Remember at the beginning of the story Joe was told by his new neighbor that there was gold in the land? Well, the truth is, Joe’s understanding of the English language was less than perfect. His new neighbor friend actually told him that his land had rich soil.

Go out and pretend that there is gold in all your challenges so that you can be inspired to motivate(激励)yourself to allow the fate(命运)to provide all that you need. The fate will never give up on you, if you never give up on yourself.

4. What made Joe believe that there was actual gold in his land?

A. His desire to send his sons to college. B. His dream to become wealthy.

C. His poor understanding of English. D. His trust in his neighbor.

5. Joe’s three sons took digging for gold as ________.

A. a pleasure B. a challenge C. a lie D. a dream

6. How did Joe deal with his too many crops?

A. By leaving them in the land B. By selling them to others.

C. By giving them away to neighbors. D. By exchanging them for gold.

7. The best title for this passage would be ________.

A. Telling a white lie B. Achieving wealth from land

C. Accepting challenges in life D. Digging for gold

C

When comparing U.S. and Chinese schools,despite(尽管）many differences, one finds a number of unexpected similarities.

Students in both countries, in some ways, have much in common. This includes their experiences with popular culture like technology and social media, mutual care for the environment, and the fact that all were terribly influenced by COVID-19.

Students in both countries belong to what might be described as a“TikTok culture,”although this Chinese app is likely more popular in the U.S. than in China itself.The Chinese term kuaicanshi yule,which means fast-food type entertainment, is the better expression, one that conveys“snackable content”for often meme-oriented, fast moving fashion that compete for short attention spans. Whatever the app or device, students have been much influenced by technology, positively and negatively. In fact,Chinese students do face more controls from their schools about their use of social media, although many are good at finding ways to avoid them.

Furthermore, many students in both countries are attracted to similar styles, in both fashion and food, in music and film, with Chinese and American students often being similarly up-to-date on the latest hits, including television series.

Finally, what both have most in common is the strong wish to live a good life, be successful and secure. The U.S. and China approach these wishes in different ways educationally, but both could learn from each other. This is especially true given the fact that we all live in an increasingly globalized world, and must learn to work together to solve not only global problems like climate change and disease outbreaks, but unfortunate frictions between the U.S. and China. Indeed, with the last point in mind, a significant weakness in the educational systems of both countries is that neither really understands the other. This is not a new problem, but solving it needs serious attention.

8. What can we learn about the students in the U.S. and China from Paragraph 2?

A. They show no interest in traditional culture.

B. They have chances to experience social media.

C. They are satisfied with their living environment.

D. They were hardly influenced by COVID-19.

9. What do Chinese students face about using social media in school?

A. Rules to control.

B. Supports from parents.

C. Agreement from schools.

D. Risk to leave.

10. What do U.S.and Chinese students have in common?

A. Schools stop them from using social media.

B. They have little interest in television series.

C. They achieve their wishes educationally similarly.

D. They can't fully understand each other educationally.

11. Which of the following can be the best title?

A. U.S.and Chinese Schools

B. U.S.and Chinese Students

C. Similarities between U.S. and Chinese Students

D. Differences between U.S. and Chinese Schools

D

Local bamboo plantations (种植园) in Europe have ensured that giant pandas in Belgium and the United Kingdom have been fed with enough fresh bamboo during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to zookeepers.

Every week, there are about 1,000 kilograms of fresh bamboos delivered from a French bamboo plantation called La Bambouseraie to the Belgian zoo of Pairi Daiza where two giant pandas and their three babies live.

Mathieu Goedefroy, spokesman of the zoo, said “It is very important for us to be assured that we always and at every time are able to provide fresh bamboo of the highest quality for our dear pandas. That’s why we decide to buy this growing house.”

Since 1856, when a botanist Eugene Mazel began his first plantings by acclimatizing exotic types from different parts of the world, La Bamhouseraie has developed into a park growing more than 240 varieties of bamboo now.

Of the 1,000 kilograms of bamboo delivered to the zoo each week, only a small part is eaten by the pandas. The other animals can consume the rest of it so that none is wasted.

The story is similar in the U. K.’s Edinburgh Zoo, where the fresh bamboo has been shipped from the Netherlands. Jo Elliot, the animal collection manager at the zoo, said, “We have made sure that our stores have enough supplies. The pandas need their bamboo. Most of it gets shipped in from the Netherlands, and at the moment that is fine. We are still getting deliveries. ”

In early May, Canada’s Calgary Zoo said it would have to send back two giant pandas to China, since fewer flights, as a result of COVID-19, were causing a lack of bamboo for the pandas. An adult giant panda eats about 35 kilograms of bamboo shoots, or kilograms of fresh bamboo and bamboo leaves daily. There was no locally grown bamboo in Calgary, so supplies of bamboo had relied on the shipments from China.

“We have also contacted our workmates from Calgary, Canada,” Goedefroy said. “We’ll see if we could be of any help for them with our bamboo supplies. ”

12. Where does Pairi Daiza get bamboo for their pandas?

A. From a zoo in China. B. From a French plantation.

C. From a zoo in Belgium. D. From a plantation in the Netherlands.

13. What does the underlined word “acclimatizing” in paragraph 4 mean?

A. mixing B. researching C. collecting D. spreading

14. What is the similarity between the Edinburgh Zoo and Pairi Daiza?

A. They make full use of the bamboo. B. They have enough bamboo supplies.

C. They have to return pandas to China. D. They got bamboo from the same place.

15. What can be inferred about Calgary Zoo from the last two paragraphs?

A. It could grow some bamboo soon. B. There will be no more pandas living in it.

C. It will give less bamboo to pandas. D. Pairi Daiza may send bamboo to it.

【答案】Dear David,

I am glad to know that the activity about Colorful World Cultures will be held in our school.

I am eager to be a member of it.

To begin with, as an outgoing boy, I am good at communicating with others. Secondly, I can speak fluent English and express myself clearly. What’s more，through the activity, not only can I make more friends but build up my character. I think it’s my duty to be able to introduce China to other friends and my honor to understand other cultures at the same time. Hopefully, I can take part in the activity.

Looking forward to your early reply.
