When I was a boy, I loved walking in the woods (树林) around my home. My mom told me not to travel so far that I couldn’t see our house. Being a naughty (淘气的) boy, however, I soon found myself going too far away, trying to know just how far I could go into the woods. I spent two hours looking for my way, I thought that I should leave a trail (痕迹) the next time I went for a walk.
The very next day I decided to try it. I walked into the woods and I couldn’t see my house. Then I broke a small branch (树枝) on a young tree to mark (标记). I walked further in and broke one more, and then another. I even used two flowers that were growing! I easily found my way home by myself that day, but I didn’t feel that proud (骄傲的). What’s worse, I felt really sad. I could see the trail I left in the woods along the way. Looking at the broken branches and dead flowers I was ashamed (羞愧的), so I asked myself never to do that again. From then on, I started to enjoy my time alone in the woods. I’d sit by the rivers and listen to them. I’d watch the birds and other cute animals. I’d smell the flowers. Not to disturb (打扰) is the best gift that I can give to them.
As a saying goes, “People will know who you are through the trails you leave”. As I grow older and smarter, I tried my best not to leave trails in my life like I did in the woods that day, I started to leave trails of love, kindness, goodness and also show others that they can do the same.
May you always leave trails of happiness.

After months of staying at home because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Chinese parents are becoming greatly worried about their children’s eyesight (视力) and children’s eye care awareness (意识) and habits.
Many parents said their children’s eyesight has become worse. According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, the percentage of the students with eyesight problems reached the highest point among junior (初级的) high school students. That is 61.5 percent followed by senior (高级的) high school students at 56.3 percent.
Parents are strongly suggesting (建议) that schools should give enough time for students to do eye exercises and do more outdoor activities at school. What’s more, they think it’s also a must-do for teachers to cut students’ homework burden.
Doctors point out that if children’s eyesight keeps dropping, then it’s necessary to talk about it with the eye doctor for medical help. Maybe the daily-wear, single-use Ortho-K contact lenses (OK镜) are needed to help slow down (减缓) the nearsightedness. Of course, cutting the time of mobile phone use and getting them outdoors at least one hour every day are far more useful than any other way.
【1】What’s the percentage of the junior high students whose eyesight has become worse in the survey?
A.50.6% B.61.5% C.56.3%
【2】Which of the following is NOT the parents’ suggestion (建议) to schools?
A.Schools should ask students to do eye exercises.
B.Schools should get students outdoors often.
C.Schools should tell students to wear Ortho-K contact lenses.
【3】What does the underlined word “dropping” probably mean?
A.下降 B.下升 C.平稳
【4】What can we know from the passage?
A.The percentage of the senior high school students with eyesight problems is higher than that of the junior ones.
B.It’s unnecessary for children to ask the eye doctor for medical help though their eyesight keeps dropping.
C.Using the mobile phones less and doing more outdoor activities are the most useful ways for eyesight.
【5】Where is the passage probably from?
A.A guide book. B.A health magazine. C.A sports newspaper.

Some people are born blind (盲的). Some are born deaf (聋的). 【1】. No matter how they become disabled (残疾的), people with these disabilities have a much harder time in life than we do. I think we should work harder to help these people and make their lives a little easier.

If it already has these laws,they should be followed more strictly. 【4】. If they know about the problems disabled people face well, they can play a role in finding a way out.
A.So laws are important for disabled people.

Huge (巨大的) squares, great buildings and countless treasures (珍宝) - the Palace Museum never fails to take as visitors breath away.
This year, the world’s largest wooden palace has its 600-year-old birthday! Have you ever wondered who made this marvel (奇迹)?
In 1406, when the Ming Emperor (皇帝) Yongle decided to move the country’s capital from Nanjing to Beijing, he started to build a palace at the heart of Beijing. It was such a huge project that it took a million worker 14 years to finish it.
Materials (材料) were sent from all over China to Beijing. Nanmu, the rarest (最稀有的) of all Chinese woods, was used to make huge wooden pillars (柱子). It can only be found deep in forests over 1,800 km away from Beijing. Workers had to float (漂浮) the wood on rivers all the way north to Beijing.
Stones were also sent to the palace. The heaviest stone in the palace weighs 250 tons. It was found in a village 80 km west of Beijing. It was so heavy that people could only move it during winter. They poured water onto the road to create ice. Then thousands of workers pulled the stone on the ice to the palace.
The project even changed the local landscape (地貌). When building a moat (护城河) around the palace, workers dug up soil and piled it on a hill north of the Palace Museum. That’s where Jingshan came from.
【1】How old is the Palace Museum this year?
______________________________________________
【2】When did the worker finish building it?
______________________________________________
【3】What did the workers use to make huge wooden pillars?
