My dear friends,
I’m writing to invite you to my new house in the country. You know, my family and I moved into our country house one month ago. The kids are planning to give a party at our new house. I hope all of you can come. The party will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. There will be lots of food and drinks.
Together with this letter is a map to our house. After you get off train, take the road in front of the station. Follow it and you’ll see a chicken farm. Don’t make any turns. Keep going and you’ll see a bridge. Cross the bridge and there will be a big tree on your left. Walk past the tree, take the first right turn, and then walk for five more minutes. You’ll see several houses. My house is at the end of the road, next to the river.

【推荐2】All the people, especially kids, love their birthdays. They are so widely celebrated all over the world. But not everyone knows how that all started.
In fact, such a tradition was from Europe. People believed that evil spirits (幽灵) would hurt people on their birthdays. So friends and family would come and be with the birthday person and bring good thoughts and wishes just to protect (保护) him or her. Giving gifts showed that there was no place for evil in the person’s life.
However, the way of celebrating birthday is different from country to country. In Canada, people put butter on the children’s face. They believe it will make the road too difficult for evil to come. In Panama (巴拿马), they usually hold birthday parties of over 100 people. Can you imagine the number of presents? In Ukraine (乌克兰), there’s a tradition of pulls on the earlobe (耳垂). They get one “pull” for they get one year older and then another one for good luck. Also in Ukraine there’s a great tradition to take a treat to school for their classmates and all teachers.
All of these birthday traditions may be different, but the ideas are the same. They bring good luck to the birthday person. How do you celebrate your birthday?

【推荐3】Thanksgiving is a day for family members and friends. When I lived in France, my friends and I decided to have a “friendsgiving” in November because we were so far away from our homes. We decided to have the dinner at my friend Grace’s apartment in Paris. But it was difficult to get a turkey because French people don’t have Thanksgiving. The day before our “friendsgiving” dinner, Grace and I went to different markets to look for a turkey. It took us hours, but we finally found one.
The next day, everyone brought different foods to share. While we waited for the turkey to cook, we played cards and told stories. Suddenly we heard a loud sound BANG! We all ran to the kitchen. The water pipes (水管) under Grace’s kitchen sink (水槽) were broken. The kitchen was filling with water very fast.
“Everyone, take the food up to the roof (屋顶) at once!” Grace shouted. We ran to the roof with all the food. Grace ran outside to turn off the water. That’s when we realized the turkey was still in the oven. We ran back to the kitchen, found some gloves, and pulled the turkey out of the oven.
In the end, we had an amazing “friendsgiving” dinner on the roof of the house with all of our good friends. The turkey was a little darker but still delicious.
Life is full of the unexpected. Sometimes small problems can become sweet memories. I will never forget this “friendsgiving” dinner.

Do you know mukbang? It is about the eating shows in front of the camera (相机) on the Internet. In the shows, people may see mukbangers eating food and sometimes talking to people who watch their videos.
The eating shows started in South Korea in around 2010 and then became popular all over the world. Why did mukbang start in this country? Actually, South Korea has the culture of eating together, but eating on one’s own is quite common in the country. Many people like mukbang shows because watching mukbang can be a way to have someone to eat with. People can connect with(联系) others even though they are at home alone.
However, mukbang has its dark sides. The way mukbangers eat food in some shows isn’t healthy. These bad eating habits can bring serious health problems. Worse still, some mukbangers prepare a lot of food but throw away much food without others knowing during the show or after the show. These mukbangers waste a lot of food.
Now, many people criticize(批评) such shows. Food waste is a serious problem around the world, and there are lots of people who still don’t have enough food to eat. Our country does a lot of things to solve the problem and asks short-video platforms(平台), such as TikTok and Kuaishou, to take action.
1. What may people see when they watch mukbang videos?2. Where did the eating shows start?
3. Why do many people like mukbang shows?
4. Does mukbang have its dark sides?
5. What do you think of mukbang shows?
Eating habits are different in different countries. The Chinese have a saying “Eating good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner.” Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different.
Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch. So they eat a small lunch. After work, they will have more time to eat a big dinner. They usually have a big dinner at home with all the family talking about their day. It is a good way to take a rest after a long, hard day of work.
Eating at a restaurant is also different. In China, people like to talk and laugh while eating. Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly, and they are just having a good time. In America it is not like this. They don’t like the noises of the outside world. They want a quiet place to eat. If someone is talking too loudly, people in the restaurant may look at him or her angrily. If some people are talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant may come out and ask them to be quiet.

下面是李鸣的笔友Kate写来的一封介绍英国人用餐特点的电子邮件，请认真阅读短
文。并按信息表的项目要求填写信息。
| Dear Li Ming, How is everything going with you? Now let me tell you something about three meals in our country. We know people here are different from people of many other countries. English breakfast is usually a very big meal of fried eggs, bread, cakes, tomatoes, tea, coffee and fruit. But we often eat a quick lunch only sandwiches and a cup of coffee. Children at school can have a hot meal of meat or fish. We usually have our dinner of beef or fish with vegetables from 7 p.m. To 9 p.m., and if we have dinner with friends, it can last very late at night. On weekends, we like to have meals with all the family members. We always begin with soup or snacks, then we eat chicken, beef, with potatoes, vegetables and many other things such as salad and fruit. We also like food from other countries, especially food from France, China, Italy and India. What about your eating habits? Could you tell me something about what you eat in your country? And tell me some table manners. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours, Kate |

【推荐1】Playing is a serious business for children .In fact, it's what they do best! Ask them why they do it, and kids will probably say, "Because it's fun!" But it's much more than that. It's also good for them．
Studies show that from birth babies begin learning through playing. They use their five senses to get to know their new world. Touching allows them to discover how different things feel. Brightly colored toys and clothing help develop a baby's sense of sight．When small children choose which toy to play with, they begin developing their abilities in making decisions．
Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination. Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech (高科技) toy. That's because a box can become anything to a child. Crayons, paints and Play-Doh (彩色塑泥) are also good because they allow children to create.
Playing doesn't become any less important once children start school. Children are taught many valuable lessons about life on the school playground. Kids learn how to share, take turns and play by the rules.

【推荐2】American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select their courses and teachers first. While in China students usually have no chances to select their courses and teachers.
Selecting is very important for your grades in America. So at the first term, don’t select too many courses, or you’ll feel very nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him. Because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.
There is another thing after you select the course and the teacher. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each copy is about $30—50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library. You must get enough ready before class. In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to ask/raise questions or show your own opinions/ideas. They don’t usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like. They don’t give you much homework to do. You can learn some knowledge and do exercises by yourself. So in American schools, you must do almost all things yourself.

【推荐3】A primary school in US is grading (分级) parents on how much they support their children. Parents of pupils are marked from A to D based on their involvement(参与) with their children’s education.
To improve the children’s performance at school, the system encouraged their parents to attend events, such as parents’ evenings and plays, and help with learning at home. For many children at this school, it is making a huge difference. Children whose parents are in groups A and B make better progress than those whose parents are in groups C and D.
But not all parents are fond of being graded. “They’ll have us all wearing dunce’s (差生) hats next,” said a mother-of-one, who did not wish to be marked. She said that “It’s one thing when children get a bad grade, but now they openly embarrass their parents, too.” Another mother, who argued that the move had unfairly shifted responsibility from teachers to parents, said “Those parents who work from nine to five won’t have time to have as much input as stay-at-home mums who have the time to contribute more and go to more school events.”
But Pat Walker, 63, whose eight-year-old granddaughter attends the school, supported it.
She said, “I think it’s very beneficial(有好处) to the pupils and the parents and the grandparents as well.”

Among all traditional Chinese operas, types of facial makeup in Peking Opera have developed into the most systematic (系统化的) one. Different colours are used to show different characters, but at first, only three colours were used: red, white and black.
Red is generally used to show that a role is honest, frank (直率的) and loyal (忠诚的). Because many roles use red and black to show they’re very brave and honest, red gradually has another meaning. A typical “red full face” is Guan Yu, known for his loyalty to his emperor, Liu Bei.
The role with the white face commonly seen on the stage is bad in human nature. Typical characters are Cao Cao who was powerful but cruel (残酷的) in the time of the “Three Kingdoms”, and Qin Hui who put the national hero Yue Fei to death.
The black face shows either an impolite and brave character or a fair and selfless personality. Typical characters of the former are Zhang Fei with a black cross butterfly face of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Li Kui of Water Margin, and a typical character of the later, Bao Zheng who was a fearless and fair official of the Song Dynasty.
Later, other colours are gradually added to them, such as purple symbolizing justice (正义); yellow used for soldiers and standing for bravery; blue showing a character that has a strong personality and is very calculating (工于心计的); gold and silver which are widely used to mean gods and ghosts. Audiences can tell the difference clearly through the colours between the nobility (贵族) and the common people, good or bad.
1. How many colors of Peking Opera masks were there at the beginning?2. What did the red facial makeup stand for at first?
3. Who has the similar character to Zhang Fei in the passage?
4. What does yellow stand for in Peking Opera facial makeup?

【推荐2】When Wang Haiyan（汪海燕）was young, her favorite toys weren’t Barbie dolls. Instead, she started learning to make shadow puppets (皮影戏) from her father at 13. ① Now 43, Wang has spent thirty years practicing and spreading the art.
Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that uses puppets （木偶）made from leather(皮) or paper, accompanied by music and singing. Invented during the Western Han Dynasty, it tells us about folk stories and historical stories, passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.
② 皮影戏都是关于创造木偶并与它们一起表演。 Wang’s hometown of Hua County, Shanxi is known as the birthplace of the folk art.
Puppet-makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets, including washing the leather, carving(雕刻) and painting, according to Wang. Carving is the most difficult part.
“We have a special carving technique(技巧)—moving the leather under the knife,”Wang said. You have to hold the knife still in your right hand and only move the leather in your left hand.
It took Wang three years to master this skill. She used a brick(砖块)to make her left hand strong while practicing. It takes about 3,000 carves to make a shadow puppet. “The complicated(复杂的) steps make it hard to hand down the folk art,” she said.
But Wang has used some new ways to do so. In 2016, she made shadow puppets based on some cartoon series and gave a live streaming performance(直播). She used colors like blue and purple that are hardly seen in shadow puppetry and added more sticks to the puppets to make the performance livelier.
1. When and where was shadow puppetry invented?2. How long did it take Wang to master the carving technique?
3. According to Wang, why is it difficult to hand down shadow puppetry?

I pay little attention to the competition result, but I love poetry, and it is enough as long as I enjoy the happiness brought by the poetry,” Wu said.
