(A)
"My dear dad, where are we going?" This has become the most popular question recently. It's a line from the theme song of Hunan TV station's reality show Where Are We Going, Dad?
"All of my classmates are big fans," said NingYun, 14, from Guangxi. "On Fridays, we remind each other: don't forget to watch it tonight!"
In the show, five pairs of fathers and kids go to strange places and finish interesting tasks. It's all about growing up. Fathers learn to cook and comfort their kids. The kids learn about teamwork and being independent (独立).Yet, growing up needs courage. In the show, 4-year-old Kimi finds it hard to finish his work alone. "When I saw Kimi looking for his dad, I burst into tears," said Chen Yufang, 13, from Guangxi. "It reminded me of my first night at the school dormitory (宿舍). I really felt the pain of growing up that night. "
When people see the fathers trying to help their kids, it also hits a soft spot in their hearts.
Tian Xiaofeng, 14, from Jiangsu, said his father is like Guo Tao in the program. "He is strict. And I was sad about it," he said. But now he sees it in a different way.
“Guo Tao's son looks determined. I think his parenting style
works. And I guess my father just wants me to be like that," he said.
On the journey of life, kids learn to grow up and adults learn to be better parents.
Maybe we can plan a trip with our parents.
Shall we go?

Why are first ladies so important in the United States? They are unpaid and have no official work? There are several reasons, but the most important reason is they are role models for other women in the United States.
Jacqueline Kennedy was the best first lady in the US. Although she wasn't an actress, model or singer, she was a fashion and cultural icon(文化偶像) who charmed people wherever she went.
If you are looking for someone who is as charming as Jacqueline Kennedy, it will be hard to find anyone more suitable than Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping. If you were writing a novel and trying to describe the perfect mixture of personal history,
capabilities, confident lady for a character, you'd come up with someone like Peng.
Born into a family in Shandong province, she joined the People's
Liberation Army(中国人民解放军) at the age of 18, doing pretty well in singing military(军旅) songs. But she is not only famous for her voice and great
achievements, but also for her charity efforts. She has, among other things, worked as a member of World Health Organization to fight against AIDS, and has done much in 2008 Sichuan earthquake.
The media(媒体) reported Peng’s trip with her husband. This was Xi’s his first foreign trip as president. The trip shows that she can be a role model for Chinese women, especially young Chinese women at home and abroad.
In the past, China has not had a tradition of first ladies like in the US. Now that China has a higher position on the world stage, it can have its first lady! And Peng Liyuan is the perfect person with whom to begin.

When you watch TV and play video games you make global(全球的) warming worse! It may seem hard to believe, but when electricity is made, so are greenhouse gases(温室气体). This means that every time you use electricity you help make global warming worse!
Cars are also making global warming worse. They burn fossil fuels(化石燃料) in their engines, and send lots of greenhouse gases into the air.
Global warming may be a big problem, but we can all help stop it. People can try to drive their cars less. Or even get ones that run on sunlight! You can also help. Let’s try on e of these top ideas:
(1) Try to use less electricity. Turn off lights, your television, and your computer when you’ve stopped using them. To make electricity, fossil fuels are burned in big factories. But burning fossil fuels also makes greenhouse gases. You should also try to watch less TV.
(2) Plant trees. Not only is it a fun thing to do, but it is also a great way to lower the number of greenhouse gases in the air. Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air when they grow.
(3) Don’t throw away your rubb ish, try to recycle it. If rubbish is not recycled, it is put in the ground. There it rots(腐烂) and makes a greenhouse gas called methane(甲烷).So try to recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers. It’ll make you feel great! And it’ll help the Earth.
( ) 62.If we _____, we may make global warming worse.
A. use less electricity
B. drive a car on sunlight
C. plant trees
D. throw away rubbish
( ) 63. ______ will make global warming worse.
A. Methane
B. Cans
C. Newspapers
D. Bottles
( ) https://www.doczj.com/doc/5c12131839.html,ing less electricity does good to global warming because_______.
A. the less electricity is used, the more greenhouse gases are produced
B. the more electricity is used, the more greenhouse gases are produced
C. more electricity is used, less greenhouse gases are produced
D. less electricity is used, more greenhouse gases are produced
( ) 65.Which is the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Driving cars on sunlight helps to stop global warming.
B. When cars burn fossil fuels, the y produce greenhouse gases.
C. When trees grow, they send carbon dioxide into the air.
D. By planting more trees, we can lower the number of greenhouse gases in the air.

If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver, just try the following things:
Be open to others. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable in talks.
Try to smile more. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too; and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.
Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Get your attention elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your look or whether people like you or not. You will become relaxed and find it’s not so hard to talk with others.
Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “Hi!” or smile at someone, say to yourself “You can make it.” Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk to others.
