1 . Huang Gongwang was a famous Chinese artist in the Yuan Dynasty. He was good at music, poetry, writing and especially painting.

Huang was born in 1269 in Jiangsu Province. Sadly, when he was young, his parents died and he lived a poor life. But then, a nice man from Zhejiang Province adopted (收养) him and took care of him. The kind man was impressed by the boy’s talent. Later Huang began to learn painting under the guidance of Zhao Mengfu.

Between the ages of 50 and 62, Huang often travelled in nature. During the long-term travelling, he developed an interest in rivers and mountains. When living in Songjiang, Huang often watched and enjoyed the fantastic scenery there. Sometimes he sat in the mountains all day, even forgetting to eat and have a rest. While enjoying the beauty of nature, he got lots of good ideas about what to paint.

Huang drew lots of paintings during his later life. But most of them have gone missing over the centuries. Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains (《富春山居图》) is one of the few surviving works and it is considered to be among his greatest works. It describes the autumn scenery along Fuchun River in southern China with ink and wash. After years of efforts, Huang finished painting Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains. Unluckily, this painting was later burnt into two pieces. Now, the two pieces are carefully kept in two different museums.

When I was about ten years old, my brother and I received a great gift—a basketball. But the problem was there wasn’t a basketball court (球场) near our home.

One Saturday morning, my brother came up with a good idea. He said, “Hey, let’s take our ball to the school to play.”

I thought it was a great idea, so I agreed. When we arrived at the school, we started playing. But suddenly, something terrible happened. The ball got out of control and hit through one of the classroom windows, breaking the glass into pieces. We looked around and saw that nobody was there, except for an old man sitting nearby.

I whispered to my brother, “What should we do now?”

“Well,” my brother replied, “Nobody saw us, except for that old man. But he probably can’t see this far, and he doesn’t know who we are anyway.”

As we got the ball and started going home, we talked about whether we should tell Mom and Dad what had happened. Would we get punished for our mistake? Or should we just keep it a secret? We thought about these things again and again on our way home.

6 . In the west of Melbourne, more than 300 kids from six primary schools are going to use special school bags that can also check air quality. This helps scientists find ways to reduce air pollution. It’s part of a study called “Breathe Melbourne”, where kids will become air quality scientists by collecting important information while going to and from school.

Schools in this areas were picked for the research because they have high levels of air pollution and a lot of kids with asthma (哮喘病). This is because these areas used to have a lot of factories.

More kids in these areas go to the hospital for asthma compared to other parts of Australia. Professor Irving from a hospital said, “The Breathe Melbourne study is very significant because it focuses on children who are already at risk because of bad air quality, and it aims to reduce that risk and help with asthma.”

An engineer named James explained how the air quality readers work. There’s a fan in the bag that pulls in outside air towards the sensors (传感器). The bag also has a GPS tracker that helps experts see which areas have more air pollution.

In a recent study, the schoolchildren and some of their teachers are seen wearing the air quality bags on four days each week for a few months. Children change their roads and the ways they go to school in the experiment as healthier choices are found. In the research, children can be educated and will learn more about air pollution.

Dr. Kate Lycett, the lead researcher, hopes that the information they collect will force officials to take action. She said, “Every child should have fresh air to breathe. Where they live shouldn’t decide how clean the air they breathe is.”

1. Why will some students in Melbourne carry the special school bags?

A．To receive fitness training.	B．To prepare for short school trips.
C．To protect school from the bad weather.	D．To help scientists get useful information.

2. What is mentioned about students in the areas?

A．They enjoy good medical services.	B．They care more about climate change.
