When your town has winter, the earth’s axis(轴) is pointing away from the sun. Your town doesn’t get as much light or heat from the sun. The days are shorter and colder.

Winter and summer happen because the earth is tilted(倾斜) as it revolves around the sun. The northern end of the earth’s axis points towards the sun in summer. You have more hours of light in summer. Your part of the earth is towards the sun for more hours each day. When the part of the earth where you live is towards the sun, you have hotter days. In winter, when your part of the earth points away from the sun, you have colder days.

You have learned about winter and summer. There are two more seasons in the year. One comes after winter and before summer. The other season comes after summer and before winter. Can you name them?

The four seasons are spring, summer, autumn and winter. Spring and autumn are apposite seasons. Which season do you like best?

You have thought about the four seasons of the year. Each season is different. The seasons are made by the northern end of the axis pointing towards or away from the sun.

Your part of the world gets more heat from the sun when the northern end of the axis points to the sun. When the axis points away from the sun, you get less heat. Now you know why winter is colder than summer. The axis is pointing away from the sun in winter. It is pointing towards the sun in summer.

If you walk through a park in the morning or in the evening, you might see a lot of people doing these slow and beautiful movements— Carry the tiger over the mountain and White crane spreads its wings. In fact, they are doing Taichi.

Taichi is an ancient martial art(武术). It is a common kind of exercise in China. More than 100 million people in over 150 countries practice Taichi at present. Recently UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) has added Taichi to its Intangible Cultural Heritage List(非物质文化遗产名录). Many taichi fans were happy to hear of it. “This will make taichi more popular around the world. Hopefully, more people will become healthier by practicing it.” said Chen Bin. He is a Taichi master from the village of Chenjiagou, Henan Province. This village is the birthplace of Chen-style Taichi.

It’s true that doing Taichi is good for our health. It can make us walk and move more freely, and it can also make us stronger. During slow movements, we can focus on (专注) our hands and feet. We can control them better. Slow movements also help us to take deep and long breaths.

Taichi also focuses on the harmony(和谐) between yin(阴) and yang(阳). It shows how the ancient Chinese people saw the world. The world is full of yin and yang: dark and light, soft and hard, female and male. But they don’t oppose(对立) each other absolutely(绝对地). As we see in the picture, a white spot is in the black area and a black spot is in the white area. After a dark night, the sun will rise. Leaves fall in autumn but grow in spring. Everything keeps changing — that is how we should see the world.

Taichi carries traditional Chinese philosophy(哲学), such as being in harmony with nature and using softness to beat hardness. It has become a symbol of Chinese culture.

37. How many people practice Taichi in the world now?

A. About 10 million.

B. Less than 150 thousand.

C. At most 100 thousand.

D. More than 100 million.

38. Which of the following words can best describe the movements of Taichi?

A. Slow and beautiful. B. Slow and exciting.

C. Fast and free. D. Strong and tiring.

39. Why has Taichi been added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List recently?

A. Because it is a symbol of China culture.

B. Because it is from the village of Chenjiagou.

C. Because it can make us walk more freely.

D. Because it can use softness to beat hardness.

40. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To ask people to do Taichi in their fiee time.

B. To introduce an ancient martial art—taichi.

C. To teach people how to do Taichi correctly.

D. To explain why Taichi is good for our health

Dr. Dolittle lived in a small town called Puddleby. Everyone in the town knew him. The dog and children ran after him.

He lived in a small house, but he had a large garden. He kept many animals in his garden. His favorite animals were Dab-Dab, a duck; Jip, a dog; Gub-Gub, a baby pig and Polynesia, a parrot. He also kept some fish, rabbits, cats, a squirrel, a cow and a baby cow, a horse, chickens and so on.

Dr. Dolittle didn''t have many patients. Most people didn''t like all of his animals, so when they were ill, they went to a doctor in another town.

"But you don’t have any money, "his sister told him. “You need patients.”

“I have a patient, " Dr. Dolittle answered, “The cat''s-meat-man. He''s the man who sells me meat for the cat.”

“He doesn’t pay you enough to live on, " his sister told him.

“Then I’ll sell everything I have,” he said.

And he did. He sold most of his furniture. He also sold most of his clothes. Then he had enough money to buy food for himself and his animals.

One day, the cat''s-meat-man said to him, " Why don''t you stop being a doctor for people and become a doctor for animals instead? I’m sure that you know a lot about animals — more than most vets. You wrote a wonderful book about cats. I’d send all the people with sick dogs or cats to you.”

When the cat’s-meat-man left, Polynesia, the parrot, flew onto the table. “He’s right, Doctor,” Polynesia said. “You should become an animal doctor.”

“There are a lot of vets,” Dr, Dolittle said.

“Perhaps there are a lot of vets. But you''d be the best vet of all. I''m not the only animal that can talk. All the animals can talk. Each kind of animal has its own language. I''ll teach you mine if you like.”

“Yes, please,” Dr. Dolittle said. He opened a drawer (抽屉) and took out a notebook and pencil. “Will you teach me the parrot''s ABCs first?” he asked.

Polynesia agreed to teach Dr. Dolittle parrot language. Later that day, Jip came into the room. Polynesia said, "He’s talking to you, Doctor."

“I don''t think he is,” Dr. Dolittle said. “He’s just cratching(挠) himself.”

“Dogs talk with their ears, their noses, and their tails,” Polynesia told him. They don''t always make a noise. Do you see how he is moving his nose now?”

“Yes.”

“He is telling us that it has stopped raining, and he wants to ask you a question.”

Every day, Dr. Dolittle learned the languages of the animals. When people found out he was now an animal doctor, they brought their sick pets to him.

One day, a horse said to him, " You’re a much better animal doctor than the vet. You knew I couldn''t see well, and you made glasses for me.”

The horse was very pleased. He could see very well. He told all his friends how clever Dr. Dolittle was, and they told all their friends. Soon, many animals came to see him. He had a different door for each animal, and he wrote the name of each kind of animal above each door. HORSES, COWS,...

Before long, every animal that lived in or near the town became the doctor’s patient. He was very happy, and he liked his life very much.

How to live a healthy and happy life

Hi, my dear and classmates,

With the improvement of living conditions, we are paying more and more attention to our health, which includes both physical and mental health. Then how can we students live a healthy and happy life?

Firstly, we should keep our bodies healthy. Not only do we need to eat healthy food, but we also need to exercise in a proper way every day. For example, we can run for 30 minutes every morning or play sports after school. Meanwhile, we still need enough sleep every day.

Secondly, mental health is also very important. We need to love our life and try to be active. We need to get along well with others as well. When we’re sad, we can communicate with our parents, teachers and friends frankly.

In a word, I hope everyone can have a healthy body and mind, and then we can have a healthy and happy life every day.

That’s all. Thank you!
