1 . An interesting film has gathered huge attention on China’s social media platforms, which is treated as “the best commercial video of 2019”. The 5-minute video is “Who is Peppa?” and it tells a touching story that highlights（突出）Chinese families.
In the beginning, a senior man named Li Yubao living in a mountainous rural village asked his grandson on the phone what gifts he wanted for the Spring Festival, but Li only heard the word “Peppa” because of the poor mobile signal. Therefore, the man went on an interesting journey to discover who Peppa is.
With the help of his neighbors, the senior got closer to the answer. So he managed to create a Peppa model using metals and his own imagination, which surprised his grandson greatly. The heartwarming model left the whole family in great surprise. At the end of the story, the man found out Peppa was a cartoon figure and enjoyed the film with the whole family during the holiday season.
Many people comments that the film had brought them to tears. As the Spring Festival is around the corner, the short video encourages people working outside to come back home and stay with family members to spend a happy and warm Spring Festival holiday. Though it is a short video, I have to say it really touches the bottom of my heart, as family bonds play an important role in Chinese people’s daily lives. With the Lunar New Year holidays near, there is special importance on getting together with all family members and being together with loved ones. After all, family bonds are the most meaningful thing in Chinese people’s hearts.

4 . BAO, a story of a lonely mother whose little dumpling comes to life, has touched the hearts of millions. The Oscar-winning short film was directed by Chinese-Canadian Domee Shi（石之予）. Bao tells bao a heart-warming tale of parental love and the loss feeling when children grow older and leave home.
①The mother finds great joy in caring for her little dumpling boy. But all little “baos” grow up. They make friends and become independent. As the dumpling becomes a teen, he pulls away from his mom. All teens can relate to this frustrating time; ②父母想要对待你像小“包宝宝”，即使你几乎是一个成年人了。
As the mother tries hard to stop her “bao” from leaving, she puts him into her mouth and swallows（吞下）him. She is immediately filled with regret and sadness. Her desire to keep him close makes her lose him forever.
Are your parents too protective? Do they make you feel like a “little dumpling”? Do you feel unhappy about this? If so, it will help to remember the love and sadness of the mother in Bao. When you want to roll your eyes（翻白眼）in frustration, remember that your parents are motivated by love. The desire to become more independent is normal. However, you are expected to express your feelings without “lashing out（斥责）” like “bao” does in the film. Ask your parents how you can have some privacy（隐私）and independence in a way that makes them feel comfortable. And remind them that, in some way, you will always be their “little bao”.

5 . At the beginning of November 2018, the 35th Chinese Antarctic expedition（南极科考队）set off for the polar（极地的）region. This time, one of their main tasks is to build China’s first permanent（永久的）Antarctic airport, Science and Technology Daily reported.
There are more than 20 airports in Antarctica, according to Global Times. But none of them belongs to China. China’s polar plane Xueying 601 has to take off and land at Russian airports.
The new airport will help Chinese aircraft take off and land in the South Pole. This will make it easier to transport scientific equipment and do research.
In order to be environmentally friendly, the airport will be small, said Sun Bo, the leader of the research team. However, this doesn’t make it easy to build the airport.
The site of the airport is an ice cap, which is a thick layer of ice. It covers the land like a quilt. But this “quilt” is always moving. Scientists have to find the slowest-moving part of the cap. You can hardly notice the movement of the ice in this area.
The next problem is the snow. The snow on the ice cap can be very thick. Also, it is as soft as cotton, which makes it hard to build a runway for airplanes. Scientists have to use a snow blower to get rid of the snow on the top of the cap. Then, they compact the rest of the snow with a road roller-like machine. In this way, the snow will be strong and hard enough to build a runway on the top of the cap.

| A．transport scientific equipment | B．do some research |

10 . Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs, teachers find students’ posture (姿势) and attention improve.
Dottie Pownall, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, USA, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008. “The students love them,” she says. Pownall took a survey of her students. She found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.
The teacher, Pisa Witt, felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs, she started Witt Fitt. This company encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use them. “Our products are used in 24 states, three provinces in Canada, Puerto Rico (波多黎各) and Japan,” says Witt. “Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter. You can slouch (低头垂肩地坐) on a ball,” says Witt, “but it feels awful.” Because the students are moving, their blood (血液) increases. That carries more oxygen (氧气 to the brain (大脑), so the kids have more energy and can focus longer.
“Furthermore, they’re fun.” says Pownali.
1. What will happen if a student sits on a chair all day in school? The student will ________.| A．pay more attention to his lessons | B．be fun |
