When I was young I used to travel by air. My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. An air hostess would take care of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to traveling by air and only once I ever felt terrified. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height (逐步升高）, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, an air hostess told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had landed. Everybody was worried and we wanted to know what had happened. Later we learned that there was a very important person on the plane. The police had been told that a bomb (炸弹) had been put on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly (被彻底搜查). Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.

Bike-sharing has swept across China, with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving. The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.

In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It’s very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection.   You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What’s more, the greatest advantage of bike-sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend.   Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn’t cost so much, does it?

At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don’t value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.

Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike-sharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.

How do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness, patience, and self-discipline (自律)? Now more and more parents worry about the negative and violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV, in the movies and on the Internet. So some parents are turning to fairy tales as a way to teach their young ones how to behave in society.

It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil(邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones in our lives.

What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales ? In The Princess and the Pea(《豌豆公主》) , a poorly dressed girl who says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In The Little Mermaid (《美人鱼》), the mermaid who lives under the sea longs to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures. In Pinocchio (《木偶奇遇记》), a wooden puppet (木偶) turns into a boy when he finally learns how to tell the truth.

Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar（农历）divides the year into 24 solar terms. Start of Summer (立夏), the 7th term of the year, begins on May 5 and ends on May 20 this year.

On this day, the temperature will rise quickly    26    this period, yet in northern China weather remains mild, not hot. Here are a few things to learn about the Start of Summer. The“colorful rice” is made from many different kinds of beans, like red beans, black beans, green beans and    27    together with white rice.

The    28    of weighing people at the Start of Summer originated（起源）from the Three Kingdoms Period (220-180) and is still popular in South China today. It was believed this practice would bring    29    and good luck to the people weighted. In    30    China, people believed a round egg symbolized a happy life and eating eggs on the day of Start of Summer was for good health.

Summer Begins!

There were two seeds (种子). They were good friends. They often talked with each other when they were free. One day, they had nothing to do. They    31    on the ground. They looked up at the sky and had a chat with each other.

The first seed said,“I want to grow! Then I can enjoy the sun and the rain!” Later, it grew. It had a     32    to enjoy the sun and the rain. The second seed said,“I am afraid of growing up. If I grow, I have to live in the    33    . Little animals may come up to me and eat me. How    34    ! If I become a beautiful flower, a child will come and pick me. It is much better for me to wait. It’s a dangerous way to be alive.” It did nothing and refused to grow. Spring came soon. A duck came up to the seeds. It eat the second seed and went away. See? We shouldn’t act like the second seed. We should face our life    35    .

Running is becoming popular these days, it is free. Many people do not have enough time to play a team sport, so instead they have started going running. In the past, running in the street was seen as a bit silly. But things are changing.    36    . Some people go to lose weight while others go simply to keep fit. Even at 6 o’clock in the morning you sometimes see runners in the   streets. Scientists say that running is a very good way to keep fit.

    37    . In some schools when it rains and it’s too wet to play football, children have to do cross country running instead. Now as running has become more popular, hopefully more young people will take it up.

Every year in April, the London marathon（马拉松）takes place. The race covers a fantastic route(线路) in which runners pass lots of the famous places like the London Eye and Big Ben     38    .

Interestingly, marathon running used to be seen as a hard sport, but now even people who are very unfit take part in marathons every year!    39    , it’s because people have become more interested in running. After the marathon every year the streets suddenly become full of runners.     40    All you need is a pair of trainers and will power, so what are you waiting for?

Zhang Liang, 32, is a model. In 2013, he and his six-year-old Tiantian    49     (take) part in the TV show, Where Are We Going, Dad?

Together with four other dad-child pairs, they went on a 72-hour trip every week. ZhangLiang is the youngest of the five fathers . But he    50    (stand) out as the most popular one since then. He is tall and handsome. He     51     (make)great food, but people like Zhang’s parenting(养育技巧)most: his son    52    (treat) like a friend. When Tiantian’s clothes get wet in the snow, Zhang    53     (stop) the task and took him home to change into dry clothes.

“Don’t worry about losing. It’s just a game,” Zhang told his son.

Zhang says he puts himself in his sons shoes when problems arise(出现）. “I imagine myself as a 6-year-old kid and what I would expect my father     54     (do) for me. ”he said. He worked as a chef(厨师）at first and later as a salesman before    55    become）a model. Zhang says he values his family and never forgets those hardships.

Now, it may be difficult to predict the future, but many people believe that we will live on Mars by the year 2100. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Well, what problems will we need to solve before we prepare to go to Mars?

First of all, transport should be much better. At present, humans need to spend months going to Mars by spaceship. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get there!

Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food, water and air that we need. However, there is no answer for all the problems now.

There is also a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars attracts us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space there. We will have to wear special shoes to make ourselves heavier.

In some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same --- meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will probably make many people feel very uncomfortable.
