1 . John and Jeremy looked out of the window.
“Why does it have to rain this weekend?” asked John.
“I don’t know,” Jeremy replied sadly. “I wish it was sunny!”
Mum said, “We’ll go camping another time.”
“But school starts soon,” said John, “It will be a long wait before another time comes.”
“Speaking of school, we have a few more things to get at the store,” Mum said to the boys. “Why don’t you get your raincoats and come with me?”
John and Jeremy shrugged their shoulders (耸肩). As they headed out the kitchen door, they found Dad unpacking (从箱中取出) everything for the camping.
“Sorry, we’ll have to call it off, guys,” Dad said, winking (眨眼示意) at Mum.
The heavy rain continued as they shopped. By the time they arrived home, the boys were more upset than ever.
“Come on,” Mum said. “Let’s get these things in the house and put them away.”
John and Jeremy climbed out of the car, took a couple of bags, and headed into the house. As they entered the living room, their eyes lit up (露出喜色)。
There was a tent in the middle of the living room and a fire burning in the fireplace! And in front of the fire, there were some camp chairs.
“What do you think of this?” Dad asked as he climbed out of the tent.
“Camping in the living room?” said Jeremy. “This is so cool!”
“Well, it’s not camping outside,” said John. “But it’s the next best thing!”

5 . Ma Jiaolong is a Chinese dancer. His dance is eye-catching, often attracting crowds. Since 2020, he’s made short videos of himself dancing in London. He has performed at city’s parks and iconic landmarks(标志性建筑)like Tower Bridge. The 35-year-old has nearly 5 million followers on Douyin, where he shares his videos.

Two years ago, Ma had to give online classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In his small home, he could only make small moves. One day, he took his wife’s suggestion and danced at Greenwich Park. She recorded Ma. He then edited(剪辑)the video, added music and sent it to friends. “Surprisingly, _______, which inspired(鼓舞)me to share it online,” said Ma.
Later, Ma made more short videos.

6 . Blood transfusions(输血)have become a real life saver in modern medicine. But not so long ago, blood transfusions were dangerous and killed as many people as they saved. That is, until 1901, when an Austrian scientist discovered that humans do not all have the same blood type. His research showed that humans, in fact, have one of four blood types A, B, AB and O.
Before the discovery of the four blood types, it was believed that you could give the blood of any person to any other person. Giving a person the wrong type of blood often leads to death because the two different blood types fight each other. When giving a blood transfusion, doctors need to know the blood types of the donor(输血者)and the recipient(受血者).
No matter where you live on this planet, your blood will fall into one of the four types. Some blood types are rarer than others. In European cultures, the most common blood type is O. Among Asian populations, the B blood type is common, while it is very rare in European populations.
People with type O blood are “universal(万能的)donors”. Their blood can be given safely to people from any of the other three groups. People with type AB blood are “universal recipients”. They can receive blood from any of the other three groups.
1. Why is blood transfusion dangerous before the discovery of the four blood types? ________A.Because two different blood types fight each other. |
B.Because there is no modern medicine. |
C.Because there are fewer blood donors. |
D.Because people are from different cultures. |
A.the O blood type | B.our planet |
C.B blood type | D.the most common blood type |
A.Because the type O blood is the most common. |
B.Because the type O blood is rare. |
C.Because people with type O blood are kind and friendly. |
D.Because the people of the other three groups can receive type O blood safely. |
A.The blood transfusion is always safe. |
B.In 1901, an Austrian scientist discovered the four blood types. |
C.Doctors don’t need to know the blood type before a blood transfusion. |
D.People could receive blood from any person. |
A.Blood transfusions are dangerous. |

9 . Ben lived alone on the island for three years. The members of the ship left him there because they were angry with him. He had met many difficulties during the three years.
