Jack lived in a small house with his mother and younger sister, Anna. They were very poor and often did not have enough food. He was a hard-working boy. After school, he would work at shops. In the holidays, he would ask for small jobs on nearby farms.
On a Sunday afternoon, his little sister was hungry and she was crying. There was no food at home. So Jack made up his mind to help her finally even though he planned to go to the park and play with his friends at the beginning.
He wanted to get some food for his sister and he decided to go fishing. It was only about 10 minutes’ walk from where he lived. He sat by the lake, the hours were passing but Jack was not having much luck. He started to feel sad but said to himself, “I must never give up.”
Almost at once he felt a strong pull on the fishing line. It was a very large golden-red fish. He ran home and showed it to his mother and sister. They were both smiling when they saw the fish.

【推荐2】Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea.
“Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck.
“It’s hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted (闹鬼的) houses.”
So, one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place, which made the boys feel very frightened. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There were cobwebs everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.
“What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fear.
“Keep quiet! There’s someone downstairs.”
The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant-looking.
Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Indian Joe. He said.
“It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery?”
“Let’s keep $30 each and leave the bag here.”
The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins. The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was real treasure downstairs. Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something.
“What is it?” asked the other man.
“It’s a box,” said Indian Joe. And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins. The other man found the boys’ tools, and they soon pulled out the box.
“There’s thousands of dollars in there,” said Indian Joe.
“The Murrell Gang used this area one summer,” said his partner.
“They must have hidden their money here.”
“What will we do with this, Joe? Will we bury (埋) it again?”
“No, someone might find it,” said Indian Joe. “Let’s bury it in the number two den.”
Tom and Huck got up as soon as the two men left. They decided to watch out for the “man in the sombrero” when he came to town and find out where the number two den was.

【推荐3】There once lived a young man who thought himself to be poor. One day he went to visit a wise man to ask how to become rich. The wise man said, “Young man, you are rich now.”

“It’s with you. Your eyes are your wealth. You use them to see the world. You use them to see all beautiful things in the world. Your hands are your wealth. You can use them to work.

【推荐2】Confucius (孔子) was one of the greatest teachers in ancient China. He influenced (影响) Chinese education (教育) in many ways. But he didn’t usually give lessons by doing most of the talking. His teaching was done more in the form of conversations.
Throughout his lifetime, about 3, 000 young people studied under Confucius. He changed his way according to the needs of each student.
One day, one of his students, Zi Lu, asked him a question, “When I hear a piece of good advice, should I put it into practice at once?” Confucius replied, “You should always first ask someone with more experience.”
A few days later, another student named Ran Qiu asked the same question. To him Confucius replied, “Yes, put it into practice right away.”
A third student heard the two conversations. ________. “Ran Qiu always hesitates in making decisions. This is why I encouraged him to move forward,” said the teacher. “Zi Lu, however, always makes decisions too quickly. Therefore, I want him to think twice before he does something.” See? Different people get different answers. And that was how Confucius taught.

【推荐1】March, 2013, the H7N9 virus (病毒)hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and so on. It seemed that most people who were infected(被感染) with H7N9 had the common flu. Some people suffered from a fever or a cough.
Don’t be afraid—it’s not easy to be infected with the virus. Here is some advice to help you protect(保护) yourself when it comes.
Wash your hands. You need to wash your hands with soap and hot water before you eat, after you use the toilet(厕所), and after you touch animals, because your hands may carry viruses.
Cover your nose and mouth. When someone (某人) sneezes(打喷嚏) or coughs, flu viruses can travel as far as one meter through the air, so you’d better stand a proper distance (距离) while talking to someone who has a cold. And always cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough, and then clean your hands.
Wear a mask(口罩). Some doctors say that masks can stop the flu as much as 80%, but if you don’t wash your hands often, it’s no use wearing a mask. And it’s necessary to wear the mask in the groups of people.
Do sports often. Exercises will help make your body strong enough to resist the virus.
1. When did the H7N9 virus hit Shanghai?| A．In 2014. | B．In 2015. | C．In 2012. | D．In 2013. |
| A．Some people who were infected with the H7N9 virus had a toothache. |

【推荐2】There is great excitement and argument over Artificial Intelligence (AI, 人工智能 ). The argument about whether robots will replace teachers in the classroom is very heated. Some people think this revolution (革命) is sure to happen in the next ten years. Others think that the value a good teacher brings, not only to the classroom setting, but in developing a child’s confidence and creativity outside lessons, cannot be easily replaced.
AI is not new for us and is already being used successfully in many fields, such as medicine, finance and so on. So what does this mean for our future? In my view, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can AI possibly cut down the teaching work in the future, too? Of course. Our teachers are always busy preparing materials for their lessons. Just imagine how happy they would be if they don’t have to copy hundreds of paper, but instead, have this task or others done by machines.
However, most importantly, I do not believe AI will be able to imitate (模仿) the human mental condition totally, especially empathy (同理心) and emotional intelligence. What makes learning memorable is shared experience, human interaction, and long-lasting positive relationships. For example, experienced teachers can adapt (调整) their interaction with a student if he has suffered a serious loss. But there is no evidence that robots can imitate this adaptability well.
I also believe we need to continue to celebrate our kids’ individuality (个性) and their ability not only to make decisions but also make the right decision. These are skills that they can get as they gain more life experience and are given the space to experiment.
To what degree can teachers use AI in their classes? You can have all the data you like with the help of AI, but great teachers will also need to depend on their own gut feeling (直觉).
1. Some people think a good teacher might be able to ________.| A．use AI as much as possible in the class teaching |

【推荐3】Every day when I enter the classroom, I will take a look at the wall beside my seat. You will find nothing special about this old wall if you just look at it. But for the students in my class, it is a special wall. Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us the 9th-graders.
In the middle of the wall, there is a big "VICTORY". It was written in pencil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.
A little higher above the formulas there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears dropping in the heavy rain. Oh! It must have been written at the end of last semester in the middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!
If you "explore" the wall more carefully you will find many other interesting things like a crying face or a happy face and other patterns. There are still some patterns and letters that I can't understand but they all show the feelings of the students who drew them.
For years, the wall has witnessed all the things that have happened in the classroom. I don't know how it will be next year, two years from now or even ten years from now. But I hope more smiling faces will be drawn on it.
1. There is ______ special on this wall.| A．something | B．anything | C．nothing | D．everything |

【推荐2】Beijing Opera appeared in the Qing Dynasty(朝代). In 1790, many opera troupes(戏班)went to Beijing for performances to celebrate the birthday of Qianlong. This kind of unusual performance touched the hearts of the people deeply. While in Beijing, the troupes created a new kind of opera called Beijing Opera. It was on the basis(基础)of Anhui Opera by taking in the advantages of other operas.
Beijing Opera is quite unique(唯一的)in role shaping because it divides the roles into different kinds. They are sheng, dan, jing and chou which are quite different in many ways.
A popular song goes like this, “Foreigners call Jingxi Beijing Opera.” In fact, Beijing Opera is different from opera. Opera tells the story and expresses the thoughts by singing instead of speaking. But Beijjing Opera stresses(强调)chang, nian, zuo and da. Chang means singing; nian means musical spoken parts; zuo means dance movements and da means martial(武打)skills.
Mei Lanfang is an excellent performing artist of Beijing Opera in China. In 1930, he led an opera troupe to America and presented Beijing Opera before western people. Today, Beijing Opera has become the sign of Chinese culture. It is changing with the development of different musical styles.
