【推荐1】There was once a young mouse that lived in a hole of a wall. One day, the young mouse woke up (醒来) and looked out of the hole. As he looked out, a fantastic smell came to his nose. “Cheese!” the mouse said happily to himself. “I’ll go and get it now and have it for breakfast.”
But then he remembered his parents’ words. His parents were clever mice and often said to their son. “Always wait before you go for a piece of cheese.”
So the young mouse waited quietly. Then he heard a quiet “Miaow” and he knew the cat was there. He stayed in the hole and said to himself, “I’m glad I listened to my parents and learned to wait.”
The next day, he looked out again. He put his nose out of the hole, and got the beautiful smell of cheese. It was only a few centimeters (厘米) away. But he sat still and waited quietly. This time he did not hear any cat noises. Instead he heard a very quiet “woof, woof.”
“ It’s a dog!” he thought. “If the dog is there, the cat won’t be there. I expect (料想) the dog has chased (追赶) the cat away, so I’m safe.” The mouse ran out of the hole and saw the cat. The cat caught him and ate him.
When the cat finished her meal, she said to herself, “I’m glad I listened to my parents and learned a second language.”

【推荐3】After arriving in New Jersey, US, for a one-year cultural exchange program, I noticed that many local people love Chinese culture. I felt like sharing our culture with them. As one of the 13th-generation disciples of Chen-style tai chi, I set up a tai chi club for local primary students. My tai chi program lasted for 10 weeks, with classes taking place every Tuesday.

I have been in several cultural exchange programs before, but I haven’t really worked with little kids. It was a little intimidating for me at first. Kids are extremely noisy and active. It was challenging enough just to take control of the class. In the beginning, we could only go over a few gestures during each class, as I spent most of my time working on class discipline (纪律).

However, as the class went on, we grew more and more familiar with each other. Slowly, I found the fun and sense of achievement that lies under the kids’ nervousness and tiredness. Watching the kids learn tai chi under my instruction was exciting. Nothing made me happier than seeing their smiles after learning a new gesture. With each punch, kick and stretch, I could sense their progress and their interest in learning. They asked me many questions about tai chi.

This experience also improved my leadership. I realized that it was important to unite the whole class and encourage kids to help one another when they meet difficulties. I will try my best to spread tai chi culture here.

A．The author is good at tai chi.

B．Foreigners have no interest in tai chi.

D．The author went to New Jersey many years ago.

2. What was the biggest challenge for the author while teaching primary school students?

In the morning, we went camping along a path in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.
However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one o'clock, it was dark and windy. Soon, there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to hide.
Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining, There were hours to go before we reached the campsite (野营地). It was even worse that our small compass (指南针) showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way!
We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could set up a tent to hide
in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet.

【推荐3】You might not think much about where your garbage goes. But now you might want to know. On July 1 Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting policy (垃圾分类政策). People there need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins (垃圾箱). Other cities in China will do the same soon.

Why is garbage sorting a big problem? It’s because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our soil (土壤), air and water. Actually we can make use of some garbage again. And first, we need to sort our garbage.

For example, if you put an old battery (电池) into the “harmful waste (有害垃圾)” bin, people can use it to make new batteries. But if you don’t, the battery will end up somewhere else. Then, it will pollute the environment (污染环境).

Can’t factories sort garbage for us? Yes, they can. But it takes many workers to do this and costs lots of money. If we all sort our own garbage, things will become much easier. Recyclable garbage includes (包含) paper, books, boxes, newspapers, and glass bottles. Harmful garbage includes lamps, batteries, nail polish (指甲油) and other things with harmful chemicals (有害化学物质). Wet garbage usually comes from the kitchen, such as food, vegetables, flowers, leaves (树叶) and eggshells (蛋壳). Dry garbage is anything you cannot put into the other three bins. It includes pens, toilet paper, tape (胶带), hair, and towels (毛巾).

A．People should put garbage into dustbins.

B．People should put different garbage into different bins.

C．If you don’t sort garbage right, you will receive a notice.

D．People can take buses for free if they give plastic bottles (塑料瓶) to bus stations.

A．Because we have too much garbage.

B．Because too much garbage is bad for our soil (土壤), air and water.

C．Because some people want to recycle it.

D．Because garbage sorting can help our home clean.

3. What may happen if we just put old batteries into rubbish bin?

A．It may go with other rubbish.

B．It may be put in a big hole in the ground.
