Four men once came to a wet place in the roadless forest to fish. They cast their tent upon pine-clothed rocks. On sweet-smelling branches they slept the sleep of unsuccessful fishermen, for the sun made them lazy and the rain made them wet in turn. Finally they ate the last bit of bacon and the last wonderful cake.

Immediately a little man volunteered to stay and hold the camp while the remaining three should go miles to a farmhouse for supplies. They looked at him dismally (沮丧地). “There's only one of you — the devil is your brother,” they said and disappeared down the hill. Then night came and the three had not returned. The little man sat close to the campfire and added branches. Suddenly he heard the coming rustle (沙沙声) of the dead leaves. The little man arose slowly to his feet, his clothes refused to fit his back, his pipe dropped from his mouth, and his knees struck each other. “Hah!” he cried. A low voice replied and a bear paced into the light of the fire. The little man supported himself upon a tree and recognized his visitor — a bear.

The bear was obviously an experienced fighter, for its fur had become deep yellow with age. There was confidence in his small pace and in his shining eyes. It rolled back its lips and exposed its white teeth. The fire enlarged the red of its mouth. The little man had never come across the terrible animal before and was too scared to breathe. “Ah!” The bear interpreted this silence as a gladiator (角斗士). It approached cautiously and slowly. As it came near, the boots of fear were suddenly upon the little man's feet. He cried out and then ran around the campfire. “Ho!” said the bear to himself, “this thing won't fight — he runs. Well, let me catch him.” It started strongly around the campfire. The little man screamed and ran violently. Twice around they went.

In desperation the little man flew into the tent.

7 . How to Do a Travel Vlog

A vlog is a video blog, mostly about a person’s daily life. Travel vlogs are a really cool way for you to share your experiences with viewers in a creative and dynamic way.     1    

Focus each travel vlog on a location or activity.

Keep in mind that viewers’ attention spans are relatively short, so a 3-5 minute vlog is probably the ideal length.     2     For example, if you’re super into regional food, use your vlog to highlight the different places you ate at and foods you enjoyed.

Include yourself talking about your experiences in your vlog.

    3     You don’t have to talk in every shot and can always add narration in post-production, but consider giving a live introduction to the location, talking about your observations, or telling a funny story.

Interact with the people you meet and include them in your vlog.

You could even act like you’re interviewing someone by asking them questions and recording their answers. Just make sure to get their permission before you record them! For example, you could say something like, “I’m recording a video for my viewers, would you mind if I asked you a question?”     4    

    5    

Even if you’re not great at it, it is highly advisable to add proper music to your video which captures people’s imaginations and makes them likely to stop and watch. Try to use the same song for the entire video and lower its volume during sections where you’re speaking.

A．Start your vlog with a carefully selected piece of music.

B．Accompany your video with music that adds to the feel of your vlog.

C．You’ll be glad to have these visual records to remind you of your travels!

D．This article will guide you through kicking off your vlogging channel and making it a career.

E．People may arrive at your video because of the location, but they’ll stay because of your personality.

F．Pick an experience to document rather than including all the material from your entire trip in a single video.

G．Not only does this create great content, but it’s also a cool way for you to devote yourself more to your experience.

8 . Mother slipped into my bedroom on the night of my sixth birthday, hands behind her back. “I have one more present for you,” she said. “One I wanted to save until now. Close your eyes and hold out your hands.”

I did so in amazement. And in my hands she placed a brand-new hardcover book. A picture of a little girl with her arms wrapped around a pig decorated the cover. “It’s Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White,” Mother said. “The perfect story for a six-year-old.”

“It might be too hard for you to read by yourself right now,” Mother said. “But I thought I’d read a chapter to you every night if you want me to.” I nodded. And so she began the timeless story of Charlotte, the spider that is loving and clever, with the magical first sentence I’ll never forget: “where’s Papa going with that ax?”

Mother wasn’t exactly true to her word. She didn’t read me a chapter of Charlotte’s Web every night. Sometimes she read three or four. In less than a week, we reached the final pages, sobbing together as she read the part where Charlotte dies. We sighed sadly as the book ended with the magical sentences I’ll never forget: “It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both.” That’s when I fell in love with reading.

And more books followed. As time passed and my reading skills improved, Mother and I took turns reading chapters aloud, snuggled (依偎) together in the oversized armchair in the corner of my bedroom.

When I read To Kill a Mockingbird, Catcher in the Rye and The Grapes of Wrath in high school, Mother did, too, so that we could talk about them. My letters and phone calls home from college began, “Let me tell you what I’m reading.”

So it was no surprise when, just hours after the birth of my first child, Mother slipped into my hospital room with her hands behind her back. “I have a present for Meg.” she said. “Close your eyes and hold out your hands.”

1. What do we know about Charlotte’s Web according to the passage?

A．It built up the writer’s reading skills.

B．It impressed the writer a lot with its amusing story.

C．It was the only present the writer received for her sixth birthday.

D．It tells a classic story where a spider serves as a friend and a writer.

2. Which adjectives can best describe the writer’s mother?

A．Responsible and protective.	B．Supportive and inspiring.
C．Knowledgeable but dishonest.	D．Considerate and warm-hearted.

3. What would most probably happen in the end?

A．The writer began to read books with her mother again.

B．The writer began to read books to Meg right after her birth.

C．The writer started reading Charlotte’s Web to Meg on her sixth birthday.

D．Meg developed interest in reading with the direct help of her grandmother.

9 . It seems every country has one major event on the annual calendar that claims to trump all others. But with almost 200 countries across the globe, experiencing every single one is near impossible for most us – despite how much we’d like to go. Here we’ve boiled down the options to the absolute top events to add to your bucket-list.

Gion Matsuri – Kyoto, Japan – July

Widely considered to be the summer festival in Japan, Gion Matsuri is more than 1,000 years old. It all started as a means to calm down the gods who brought sufferings by way of fire, floods and earthquakes, but these days, it’s a little more light-hearted and certainly a huge tourist magnet. Expect to be struck by the three festive evenings featuring a parade known as the ‘Yoiyama’ – a sight of delicately decorated lanterns and an all-round atmosphere of excitement with Japanese wine and food stands.

Songkran – Thailand – April

A water fight on a national scale, Songkran in Thailand is the celebration of the Buddhist (佛教的) New Year. Initially, water played a part on this special day by being poured over Buddhist statues, but these days, although still a spiritual and religious festival, Songkran has become a joyous occasion for festivity across the kingdom. Wherever you are in Thailand, you can expect to get wet with everything from water guns to elephant’s trunks being used for the purpose.

Saint Patrick’s Festival – Dublin, Ireland – March

Sure, Saint Patrick’s Day is observed anywhere in the world where there is an Irish community (or even just an Irish pub), but if you’re going to get involved, there’s no better place than Dublin. This festival runs for five days and five nights in March and is packed fuller than a program of music, performing arts, literature, tours and Irish food events. Centred around the national holiday, this festival of Irish pride, achievements and talents will be well supplied with typical beer and cocktail.

Montreux Jazz Festival – Montreux, Switzerland – June - July

There are plenty of music festivals in Europe, but this 50-year-old good time held on the shores of Lake Geneva is truly one of a kind and is the second-largest jazz festival in the world. It’s not just jazz, though. Here you’ll find broad ranging acts from pop to rock and blues, and, best of all, a large portion of the performances are free, in keeping with the festival’s intention to make music accessible to anyone.
