The hustle and bustle(喧嚣)of life, walking back and forth from the ideal to reality, and the inner confusion hidden behind a social mask-these daily experiences are recorded by Chinese youths in lines of poetry online. Recently, 124 Bilibili internet users shared their works in a poem collection.

One blogger on Xiaohongshu who goes by the nickname Gehuaren is one such poetry lover. The twenty-something girl not only writes poems as a form of entertainment in her spare time, but also improvises(即兴创作)poems for others at night markets in Yunnan. As a street-stall poet, Gehuaren often writes pieces of poetry quickly based on themes from customers. Once the poem has been completed, she refuses to change her work because she feels her poems reflect her first reaction. For her, everything in the world, no matter trivial or significant, can serve as her poetic inspiration. “A glass, a tree in the dawn or a person who once talked with me…these all could become themes for my poems,” said Gehuaren.

With free writing with a regular rhythm and broad themes, her poems strike a chord with many young people online, helping her gain over 190, 000 followers. Many have made comments “I feel healed by your poems because I can find beauty from unnoticeable things and in turn, slow down to reflect on my life.”

Apart from poetry, various means such as vlogging and photosharing can be used to record moments of daily life. But young people consider poetry to be the best way to express them. “Taking photos or vlogging can just show the object or emotions in real life. Yet poetry, which can be used to excite the imagination, shows the beauty of daily life, ”an 18-year-old said. So when he is inspired by the beauty of daily life, the boy writes it down into lines of poetry and then shares them with his friends on his WeChat Moments.

If you're looking for a new sport to have a go at, put skateboarding at the top of your list.     16    All you need is a skateboard, some protection and somewhere to skate.

Choosing a board is straightforward — you can easily find inexpensive boards, but your best bet is to visit your local skate shop, where the staff can give you advice on the right board for your height and age. You will also need protection — a helmet, elbow, knee and wrist pads (软垫)are essential when you take fall.     17    

Once you have your board and protective equipment, you are ready to roll. It's a good idea to begin on grass or a patch of carpet, because that will stop the board's wheels from moving while you learn how to balance. Stand on the board with your feet over its bolts (闩).     18     Aim for a relaxed position with your knees bent and head facing in your direction of travel. Then try pushing yourself along on a patch of smooth concrete (混凝土). You will quickly learn which foot feels more comfortable at the front of the board and, before you know it, you will be rolling along with a huge smile on your face.

    19    You will meet many new friends at your local skate park or ramps (坡道), all of whom will be eager to welcome and help a beginner. With your friends you can spend hours perfecting tricks and attempting impressive jumps as you work on your technique and style.     20     However, it's worth it for the excitement of knowing you try to pull off a trick and, eventually, you achieve it.

A．Skateboarding is a very social sport.

B．Sure, you may end up with the odd injuries.

C．Get a feel for how the board moves to the left and right.

D．There are many skateboarding competitions held every year.

E．Falling is part of the sport but you can learn how to fall properly.

F．It is a fun and active sport, and is suitable for all fitness levels.

G．Falls are part of learning to skateboard, so you should always be fully protected.

I blame it all on my dad’s good intentions. You see, my writing career started when I was in elementary school, where there were various writing contests throughout the years. I’m assuming it was in the hopes of trying to get our young, little minds excited about the possibilities that writing could offer us in our lives. Then I’d come home, show my parents and my dad would say, “You did such a great job, honey! Wow, you must be a great writer!” I was probably a better writer in 5th grade than my average students at the time. I even went to the special advanced classes for the “gifted” kids for a few years.

And as I grew older, I remembered those experiences and what my dad was always telling me, and it just sort of stuck with me, and became part of my subconscious (潜意识) —that I was a great writer. I always did well in all my classes because I had this confidence. I didn’t like all subjects particularly, but I got good grades. I was pretty self-assured in my abilities as a student. Then, fast forward to my freshman year of high school. By this time, I had started to even out (相等) with the rest of my peers, in terms of intellect. And then, it happened, the day that I was shattered.

It was all because of my English teacher Ms. Moon. The year started out like any other. Jexpected to do well; I worked hard and knew that my dedication would pay off, like it always had in the past. But something started happening. I started getting Cs on my papers! I don’t think I’d ever even seen that letter, except in the spelling of my first name. And, not only was I not getting good grades in her class, but her comments were off the charts shocking. My papers were full of red marks, and I was being asked to re-do many assignments to even get a passing grade.

注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

One day, Ms. Moon handed my paper to me and whispered, “It’s still not good enough.”
