Fresh off the biggest win of her short gymnastics career, 16-year-old Morgan Hard and her coach, SIava Glazunov, landed at Philadelphia International Airport, headed to baggage claim and prepared for the hour-long drive home to Middletown, Delaware.

"No one is born perfect, " Hard says. "You will have imperfections. I hope more people see me and try to do sports or gymnastics with glasses. Nothing should stop you from doing something you are passionate about. ” Hard was 11 months old when her mom, Sherri, adopted her from Wenzhou, China, and brought her to Middletown.

A single mom, Sherri worked as a dental hygienist for 30 years until retiring and taking a job for Discover Bank that allowed her to work from home, support her daughter's home-schooling and help her daughter's gymnastics career.

"The firefighters of Paris told me they are very hopeful about saving the northern tower, " French Junior Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said on Twitter late Monday, adding that the firefighting efforts would continue for hours. The Notre Dame Cathedral(巴黎圣母院)， one of the most famous landmarks in the French capital， was engulfed in flames Monday evening as a catastrophic fire tore through the historic structure， collapsing its spire as fire officials raced to save the monument from total destruction. Video and photos posted on social media showed flames engulfing the cathedral, thus both the ceiling and the 90-meter spire came crashing down. The fire spread to one of the cathedral's towers, but French officials said late Monday that firefighters were optimistic they could save both towers. French President Emmanuel Macron said a national fundraising campaign would be launched on Tuesday and called on the world's "greatest talents" to assist in the effort. "We will rebuild, Macron told reporters. "We will rebuild Notre Dame because this is what the French expect, because this is what our history deserves. Officials said there were no deaths in the fire. Jean-Claude Gallet, chief of the Parisian fire department, said one firefighter was injured while responding to the flame. Two-thirds of the cathedral's roof was destroyed, Gal let said. The fire broke out just before p. m. minutes after the cathedral, which has been partly rebuilt, closed to the public. Around 30 000 people visit the church daily. Despite its long history and many treasures the Cathedral needed the help of a writer to become truly famous. Victor Hugo's 1831 novel, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, presented the building to a wide audience of readers. The book's ugly lead character, Quasimodo, serves as a symbol for Paris forgotten Gothic architecture. Hugo wrote the book to remind people of it, with hope they would work to protect the beautiful old buildings of Paris. The loss of cultural relics will never come again if they are lost only once. This is a painful loss of world civilization. 【1】The following issues are wrongly stated in the text except________________. A.the Notre Dame Cathedral was totally destroyed B.firefighters were pessimistic because they couldn't save both towers C.a national fundraising campaign would be launched to rebuild the cathedral D.the Cathedral became truly famous for its long history and many treasures 【2】What does the underlined word" engulfed" in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Flooded. B.Swallowed. C.Disappeared. D.Constructed. 【3】What can be a suitable title for the text? A.A fire broke out in the Notre Dame Cathedral B.The mystery of the Notre Dame Cathedral C.A national fundraising campaign D.The rebuilding of the Notre Dame Cathedral |

You want your children to do well in school. You want them to have nice friends and interesting hobbies and to not go out with strangers. You may even want them to be happy. But in this computer game, you can always start over with a new digital child if things don't work out as planned. A new game in China puts players in control of those most fearsome of characters: Mom and Dad. The mission? Raise a son or daughter from kindergarten to college. In a nation of famously demanding, scolding and, yes, sometimes loving mothers and fathers, the game, Chinese Parents, is a hit. Since its release in September, it has found a huge audience on Steam, an online marketplace run by the American game maker Valve Corporation. There are no official figures for how many people have downloaded the game but it has caused heated discussion online while earning tens of thousands of reviews. Yang Gee Yelling, a founder of Moy wan Games, the independent studio that developed Chinese Parents, said he hoped to produce an English version this year. The success of the game, which costs $9. 99 to play, does not appear to be driven by people hoping to exact revenge for their own upbringings. Quite the opposite: Some fans have written that, by letting them experience childhood from their parents' perspective, it had moved them to tears. "I used to not understand many things my mom made me do when I was little, "said Kang Shang hero, 19, a professional blogger in the northeastern city of Qinhuangdao. "But when I play the game and try to increase figures for my son so he can unlock more achievements and marry the prettiest girl in school, start to understand my parents more. All the joys and trials of raising children are here. Players choose between pushing their digital generation to attain conventional success and allowing them some appearance of childhood innocence. They must give career guidance and tolerate (just barely) their teenager's first dates. Everything leads up to the gaokao, the highly competitive college entrance exam that decides the fortunes of so many young Chinese people. 【1】What's the function of the first paragraph? A.To attract readers to the topic. B.To present the parents' expectations. C.To arouse argument among readers. D.To state clear fact. 【2】How do we know this computer game Chinese Parents is popular? A.It is produced as expected. B.It has aroused heated discussions and received many comments online. C.Many parents have been engaged in playing this computer game. D.It is hoped that an English version of this computer game will come out this year. 【3】What's the author's attitude towards this computer game? A.Pessimistic. B.Cautious. C.Supportive. D.Disgusted. 【4】What's the author's purpose in writing the text?？ A.To introduce the computer game Chinese Parents. B.To encourage children to play this computer game Chinese Parents. C.To persuade parents to be strict with their children. D.To let parents understand their children better. |

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写使之构成一个完整的故事。 After the long， boring winter， kites everywhere couldn’t wait for the chance to go dance in the air， to tumble(翻跟斗) freely and to run after the sun. Every kite was excited but one. The kite sat in the back of a closet, looking depressed and thin. His lines were so classic with a rag tail. But he didn't like flying. Actually, it was the belief that the higher the flight, the further the fall that scared the kite most of all. The kite thought it wouldn't be long before his boy would burst into the closet to cart him away for another embarrassing public display. At that very moment, the closet door opened. The kite shrunk in defeat. "Come on, "said the boy excitedly. "It's the perfect kite day. "He headed outside to play with the kite. As they came to the park there were kids everywhere flying kites that sailed gracefully high in the air. The boy pointed up, "Look, flying is easy! With fear the kite looked, it made him feel uneasy, although the spring breezes were heartily blowing. The boy started running to get the kite going. He ran all through the park while other kids stared at his kite that dragged. . . and tumbled. . and scraped. He heard a boy laugh and another one joke， ＂That kite must either be stupid or broken. ” The boy hung his head and went back to his kite. Kneeling， he thoughtfully asked， ” You alright? Why don’t you fly?＂The boy’s tone was calm. ” Don’t you know how?＂he asked. “Are you afraid? With all of his pride， the kite tried to contest(反驳)it， but the look in his eyes told the boy he had guessed it. They sat in silence for a moment. Then with a kind smile， the boy said，” It’s alright. Everyone gets frightened. Dad says that’s okay. And by facing fears boldly we can scare some away. ” The glimmer(微光) of hope that shone in the boy’s eyes made the kite decide to give flying another try. 注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右 2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语; 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段开头语已为你写好; 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: The boy started running again to give the kite lift. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The kite felt peaceful and delighted and new. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
