Although I didn’t speak very well, I still did it.

Ye Tong, 14, Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School, Zhejiang

To be honest, I wasn’t a brave girl. I still slept with my mother until I was a sixth-grader, because I didn’t dare to sleep alone. Last year, one evening after I came back from school, my mom asked me to sleep in my own room. I thought I had grown up, so I should learn to be independent.

When Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited China in September, where did he take his family? To see the Great Wall, of course!

Built to keep enemies from the country, the Great Wall is known as one of the eight wonders in the world.

It was first built in different sections during the Warring States period （战国时期）. Later, Emperor Qin Shihuang connected these big walls （sections）together into a very long one that was about 10,000 li （5,000 kilometers）. In the Ming Dynasty, people built many new parts of the Great Wall that are still in good condition today.

Being famous for its wonderful view, the Great Wall draws millions of tourists each year. But now the long wall is in danger. One third of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty has disappeared, Xinhua reported. One reason for that is the old age of the Great Wall. Some parts are over 500 years old. Strong wind and rain has slowly destroyed it. Another reason is that people haven’t realized they have to protect it. Some people stole the bricks of the Great Wall and sold them for money. And some visitors drew on the Great Wall. On sections of the Wall that many tourists visit,

like Badaling, almost every brick is covered with graffiti.

Our country is making an effort to repair the Great Wall. But it is such a big project that it needs much time to be completed. To make sure that the Great Wall remains a great wonder, every one of us should help protect it ourselves.

21．What did the ancient Emperor built the Great Wall for?

A．To keep enemies away from the country.

B．To provide a place for people to draw.

C．To draw millions of tourists each year.

D．To welcome Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

22．Put the following events in the correct order.

a．Canadian Prime Minister Justin visited the Great Wall with his family.

b．Emperor Qin Shihuang connected different sections together into a very long one

c．Some people stole the bricks of the Great Wall and sold them for money.

d．Our country is making an effort to repair the Great Wall.

A．abcd B．bcad C．bacd D．acbd 23．We can know from the passage that ____________.

A．the Great Wall is made up of three sections. And one third of it has disappeared.

B．the bricks of the Great Wall of Badaling were stolen and sold.

C．the Great Wall is famous for its wonderful view and the graffiti on the brick.

D．repairing the Great Wall is a big subject that is still not completed.

24．The best title of the passage may be ______.

A．Welcome to the Great Wall B．Save the old Great Wall

C．Make the Great Wall a wonder D．Help protect ourselves

C

Steel, concrete（混凝土）and glass are the usual materials in any skyscraper. But more high buildings are now using wood.

In the last four years, Australia, Norway, England and Canada have all built wooden skyscrapers. The latest one is in Sweden, a new, 19-storey wooden hotel called “Sida vid Sida” （Side by Side）.

Why are wooden skyscrapers being chosen ahead of concrete ones? L et’s find out.

Is it strong enough?

Wood has been used in many Chinese buildings for thousands of years, but is it strong enough for skyscrapers?

“There’s a lot of new materials made out of wood that are able to build big buildings,” material expert Dr Michael Ramage told CNN when he was interviewed.

Architects （建筑师）have done thousands of experiment to make sure it is. They place layers of wood across one another coated with special glue to create very strong material.

Wood also lasts a long time and doesn’t break down if it is well looked after. The examples inc lude the rooftops of Beijing’s Forbidden City and some 700-year-old houses in England.

Ramage also said on the internet that bamboo could be cut in special ways to make it even stronger than normal wood.

Won’t it catch fire?

Wooden buildings sound dangerous when it comes to fire. But experts say they may be safer than concrete ones if there is a fire.

“Wood doesn’t burn in the way the public imagines,” Ramage said. Very small pieces of wood catch fire easily, but very big pieces of wood are quite hard to set on fire, he said.

25．In Sweden, the main building material of “Sida vid Sida” is _____.

A．steel B．concrete C．glass D．wood 26．The underlined word skyscraper in the first paragraph means ___________.

A．wooden buildings B．wooden hotel

C．high buildings D．Beijing’s Forbidden City

27．What is CNN?

A．It’s the name of the interviewer. B．It’s an expert.

C．It’s a program on the internet. D．It’s an Architect.

28．According to the last paragraph, we learn that __________.

A．wooden buildings aren’t safer than concrete ones

B．small pieces of wood are hard to set on fire

C．The public may have a misunderstanding of wood burning.

D．wooden buildings are strong.

29．We can read the passage in __________.

A．a science magazine B．an art book

C．a diary D．a guidebook

30．What does the story mainly talk about?

A．Different building materials.

B．Wood as a building material.

C．Architects’ worries about wood

D．The architect’s view on building materials.

Parents always think their babies are very special. They want others to notice their children. For this reason, they sometimes give their children unusual names. They may choose names such as Chelma, Ukiah, Brianna, or Elvira. There are some advantages to this practice. A child who is given an uncommon name may feel special from childhood. Also, sometimes we remember people with unusual names better than we remember people with ordinary names.

However, unusual names can cause problems. They can be hard for us teachers and their friends to pronounce. They can also be hard to spell, and computers may change them by themselves. For example, Jule may become July. Some people may have a bad impression on an unusual name before they even meet the person. Worst of all, other children sometimes don’t like kids with uncommon names. The message for us parents is, “Think twice before giving a child an unusual name.”
