1 . It’s a challenge for people to live in very cold weather. We do not have animal fur to help us keep warm! We can make clothes and build houses to keep warm!
In winter, you must be careful. If you get stuck (受困) outside for a long time in very cold weather, you may feel difficult to move your body. So what can you do to stay warm?
First, find a big pile of snow and then dig a cave (洞穴). Make it big to keep air inside.
Second, climb into your cave. Before you climb inside, clean the snow on your clothes. The heat(热量) from your body will stay inside the cave. This is good! But if there’s much snow on your clothes, the snow will melt (融化). This is bad. Wet clothes will take the heat away from your body!
Third, try to make the floor of the cave higher. This will keep the sleeping area warm when the cold air goes into the cave.
Next, fill up the door hole (洞) with snow. This way, the heat will not get out.
Finally, if you can, share your cave with a friend. Two people make more heat than one person can.

8 . Many people like to travel when they have time off from school or work. They might go to their hometown to see their family, or travel somewhere far. But not everyone does this—some people take a “staycation” instead.
A staycation is when you spend your holiday at home. Some people might travel around their city. Others might try rural tourism in the countryside. People like myself prefer to just stay at home.
I had a staycation of my own over the summer. I slept in late every day. I worked on music and played video games. I wasn’t too lonely — I had my cat to play with, and I visited some of my friends around the city.
Traveling is fun from time to time. But it’s also nice to just stay at home and relax. It’s also cheaper, since I don’t have to pay to travel. You can choose to do just about anything you want — or, if you want, just do nothing. There’s nothing wrong with that.
1. What is a “staycation” ?| A．Working overtime during vacation. | B．Staying at home for vacation. |
| C．Going back to your hometown for vacation. | D．Traveling somewhere during vacation. |
| A．农家乐 | B．自驾游 | C．跟团游 | D．自由行 |
| A．Where he used to go during vacation. | B．How he felt about staying at home alone. |
| C．Why he prefers staycations over traveling. | D．What he did during his staycation. |
| A．Bored. | B．Lonely. | C．Relaxed. | D．Busy. |
| A．People should spend some time alone during weekends. |
| B．Doing nothing at home is OK for vacation. |
| C．People choose to stay at home because it’s cheap. |
| D．Traveling is not always fun. |
9 . Smoke fills the sky. The day is as dark as night. Heat makes it hard to breathe(呼吸). This is the world of a wildfire fighter(消防员)!
Wildfires are a part of nature. But, as one firefighter says, “Fire is not a problem. People living near fire—that’s the problem.”A wildfire can destroy(毁坏) everything in its way. But there are ways to fight it.
By air
Smokejumpers(空降森林灭火员) are often the first firefighters to reach a fire. To get closer, they jump from a plane. They are especially important when the area is difficult to walk to. If smokejumpers can’t stop a fire in 24 hours, other firefighters join them. This second group drops water on the fire from an airplane.
On the land
On the ground, firefighters work together to stop the fire. First, one group digs a fire line. This is a long deep ditch(沟). It is difficult for the fire to cross this line.
Then, while those firefighters dig, others start a backfire(回火). They burn the dry grass and leaves between the wildfire and the fire line. When the wildfire comes, there is nothing for it to use as fuel.
Other firefighters cut down dead trees. That way the fire can’t move to other trees. Firefighters risk their lives to keep people safe. Their job takes hard work, and it takes courage.
1. The underlined phrase “use as fuel” means ________.| A．drop | B．fire | C．burn | D．live |
| A．Fire is natural, but it’s dangerous to people living near it. |
| B．Fires in forests are not a big problem, but fires in cities are. |
| C．Fighting fires should be the job of people living near fires. |

| B．The firefighters dig a fire line to stop the fire crossing the line. |
| C．The firefighters start a backfire by burning the dry grass and leaves. |
| D．Some firefighters cut down dead trees so that the fire can’t move lo other trees. |
| A．explain why fire is not a problem | B．show us how fires destroy everything |
| C．tell us how firefighters fight wildfires | D．teach us how to be a good firefighter |
