When I have something difficult to do, I always ask my mom, “Could you help me?” But she always says, “Do it yourself, dear.” Then I get so sad. I think she is a lazy mother.

For example, one day, I invited some friends to my home. My bedroom was out of order. Books are all over the table and the ground. I forgot to make my bed. So I asked my mother to help me clean it. But she said seriously, “Do it yourself, girl.” So I did it myself.

Because of my “lazy” mother, I am supposed to wash my clothes and clean my room. I even have to go to the dentist by myself if I have a toothache. It’s really hard to do everything on my own, but I have learned a lot.

From now on, I understand my mother. It’s her “laziness” that makes me clever and hard-working. Just as my mother always says, “A lady can’t be lazy or she’ll be crazy. Work can make you sunny.”

1. When the girl has difficulties, her mother always asks her to do it by herself.
2. The girl asked her mother to help clean bedroom that day because she had no time to do it.
3. When the girl had a toothache, her mother always took her to see the dentist.
4. The girl has learned to clean, wash clothes and see the dentist because of “her lazy mother”.
5. From the passage we know the girl is clever and hard-working and the mother is a good teacher.

【推荐2】Su Yiming believes the two Olympic medals he earned at the Beijing Winter Games were the best gifts on his 18th birthday on Friday.

“The gold medal is for sure the best gift for my birthday. The gold and silver medals mean a lot to me. People can see how hard I’ve been working to achieve them,” Su said in an interview in Beijing on Thursday.

Su won China’s first Olympic gold in the men’s snowboard Big Air (单板滑雪大跳台) competition on Feb 15, after winning a slopestyle (单板滑雪自由式) competition on Feb 7. His excellent performance, including the gold-winning 1800 tricks, has made him a well-known name in China. He said that before he was 14 years old, snowboarding was just a sport for fun during vacations. But after he knew about the Beijing Winter Games, he realized this could be a life-changing opportunity. He was still part of the TV audience during the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, but he told his parents that one day he wanted to compete at the Olympic Games.

“I told myself that I was going to try to reach the Olympic Games, and I would never give up trying to win medals. The reason why I’m doing all this training, and taking part in competitions and the Olympic Games is because of love. I started to practice snowboarding when I was 4 because my parents both love snowboarding,” said Su.

The first time when Su competed at a World Cup, the Shougang Big Air venue (体育场) hosted its first international event. Su, who was just 15 years old, failed for the finals. “I still remember three-and-a-half years ago at Shougang, the same place and the same jump, it was my first Big Air World Cup. That was a great contest for me as I had never taken part in a World Cup before,” Su said.

“I missed the final by just one spot at that time at 11th place. So from that time, I saw the difference between me and those top riders. That pushed me harder in the past three years. Now finally I got my best birthday gift.”

1. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Having fun.	B．Winning medals.
C．Getting his birthday present.	D．Competing in Beijing Winter Games.

2. When did Su compete at the World Cup for the first time?

A．In 2017.

B．In 2021.

C．In 2020.

D．In 2019.

3. Why does Su do all the training and take part in competitions?

A．Because he loves winning medals.

B．Because he is active in the sport and loves it.

C．Because he started to practice snowboarding when he was 4.

D．Because his parents both love snowboarding, and he wants to make them happy.

4. Which of the following can be the best title?

A．Su Yiming’s dream comes true.

B．Su wins memorable 18th birthday “gifts”.

C．Su Yiming, the Chinese Snowboarding superstar.

D．.Su Yiming would never give up trying to winning medals.

【推荐3】Whenever I look at this photo, I think of an afternoon fishing with my grandfather. My grandfather loves fishing. When I was young, he tried to get my brother and me excited about it. "It's a wonderful way to spend the afternoon together," he told us. Every Saturday he asked us to go with him. At first we would, but fishing seemed so boring to us. Finally, we told him that fishing wasn't our thing. After that, he would go alone, One Saturday afternoon not long ago, I changed my mind and decided to go with him. I thought that maybe I would enjoy fishing more now that a few years have passed. So down to the water we went. We got in the water, threw the line, and waited. After three hours, all we had was a single tiny fish.

"Grandpa，why do you like standing out here for hours like this?" I asked. "You've done nothing all afternoon!"

“Well." he said. "When I was a boy, fishing wasn't 'nothing". In fact, it was everything. I didn't have TV video games or smart phones, so I fished. Now, when I fish. I go back to being that boy. It was a happy time."

This photo really changed how I saw my grandfather. I don't just see a quiet older man, but rather somebody who has seen many changes and has had many experiences. Right after I look the picture. Grandpa felt a strong pull on his line. In a second, the two of us were trying hard to bring the biggest fish I had ever seen! It was really exciting. From then on. I went fishing with him whenever I could.
