• 3．On warm winter days.Yang Liheng，89，enjoys sitting by the window and looking through old photos.These photos bring him joy and happiness once more.
     For Yang，one of the long-expected activities during the Spring Festival is to take photos with family members.On the early morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year when the whole family reunite，he would dress up and wait for the photo to be taken.
     Yang became a photographer in the late 1950s.With his camera，Yang recorded the great changes of his hometown over time. "I had a painful childhood，but I got a chance to be a photographer after the founding （成立） of the People's Republic of China." Yang told Beijing Review."I want to record，in the form of photographs，the local customs，the scenes and people's brave spirit of fighting against the hard conditions here in my hometown."
     "I used to take pictures for everyone else，but seldom turned my camera at my family members，" Yang said. "My grandson gave me the idea to record the growth and development of my own family." Taking family photos then became a tradition for Yang's family.Though now some of his grandchildren are working and living in other cities，they try their best to return home during the Spring Festival and prepare for the special moment.
     Last year was an important year for Yang Liheng.Most of his photos were displayed in Yinchuan to show the development of the area over the past sixty years.

• 4．All aboard!Let's take a ride on the world's highest railway一the Qinghai-Tibet Railway （青藏铁路）.Sit back and enjoy the journey.Get ready for the trip of a lifetime.
     We're leaving Qinghai Station.The scenery along the way is some of the wildest in all of China.Keep your eyes open as we race through this beautiful land.You might see a rare Tibetan antelope （藏羚羊） from your window.
     Before we begin our journey，let's learn about this amazing railway.It's truly one of the great engineering wonders of the 21st century.When it was completed on July 1，2006，the Tibet Railway set nine world records，including the world's highest railway at 5，072 metres above sea level，the world's highest tunnel （隧道） at 4，905 metres，and the longest tunnel ever built on permafrost （冻土）.
     As we travel higher，the air gets thinner and thinner.Soon there will only be 50 to 60 percent of the oxygen which we are used to breathing.But don't be afraid.Each rail car has two separate oxygen systems.One system spreads oxygen throughout the train at all times.And each passenger can also get a personal oxygen mask just like those used in planes.
     Here are a few more things to think about as our train leaves the station.The designers solved three main challenges when building this great railway.First，the high altitude （海拔） made the task difficult because there was no enough oxygen.Second，much of the railway runs across permafrost，a type of ground that keeps changing as the weather warms and cools.Finally，the railway goes through some of the most sensitive ecology （敏感的生态环境） in China.Great care was necessary to make sure of the smallest possible influence on nature.
     All three challenges were met，making our trip possible.All aboard!The train to Tibet is leaving in fifteen minutes.
  
  （1）Where are the passengers？

  
  A．On a bus.
  B．On a train.
  C．On a ship.
  D．On a plane.
  （2）How does the text show the railway is amazing in paragraph 3？

  
  A．By telling a story.
  B．By using a designer's words.
  C．By introducing its world records.
  D．By comparing the present with the past.
  （3）How many oxygen systems are there in each rail car？

  
  A．One.
  B．Two.
  C．Three.
  D．Four.
  （4）Which of the flowing increased the difficulty of building the railway？

  
  A．The changing ground.
  B．The polluted air.
  C．The dangerous animals.
  D．The hot weather.

     I trained every day，running miles and miles.Sadly，just two months into my training，Grandpa died.He wouldn't be waiting for my second Boston Marathon.I decided I'd run for him.
     That day，I ran fast. "Keep going!You can do it!" His words filled my head as I forced my legs to make each painful step.As I crossed the finish line，I threw my arms in the air and cried， "Grandpa，we did it!"

• 6．Every year，millions of birds are killed or hurt when they fly into buildings.Why does this happen？ （1）

  Birds are flying into windows and tall buildings that are all covered by glass.
     Many birds fly from one place to another.Most of the time，they live in the wild，such as forests and wetlands. （2）

  They might see small trees and flowers inside a window and want to rest on these plants.The birds do not know there is glass between them and the plants. （3）

  
     Some birds fly at night.They use the moon and stars to help guide them in the right direction.Tall buildings with lights on at night can confuse （迷惑） the birds. （4）

  The birds see the light，but they cannot tell that the light is coming from inside a building.They fly toward the light and crash into a building.On many mornings，there might be several dead birds lying on the ground.
     （5）

  Many office buildings now turn off their lights at night.This helps reduce the number of birds that fly into buildings and it also helps save energy.
  
  

  A.The answer is glass. B.People are trying to solve the problem. C.These birds have no idea what glass is. D.As a result，they fly right into the glass.

• 17．A library is a place to keep books and store knowledge.Recently libraries are not as popular as before because people prefer to use the Internet to find out information，rather than books.With a click of a mouse，it is possible to find out almost anything people care to know.
     But being in a room that is full of books is a fantastic thing.Just think about how many words there are in a library.Each of those words has been thought of，and carefully chosen，by tens of thousands of people.That must make it a special place to be.
     Maybe all kinds of things can happen in libraries.Sometimes，you see that a library is used for poetry workshops or guitar lessons.Also，they may have writers visiting and talking about，their books.All of these activities are much better because they are in a library.
     Lots of schools have libraries.If your school has a library，it's probably not just a place to read books.Libraries are also quiet places to be.They are calmer than the playground or the dining hall.It's the books that keep us calm and peaceful.
  
  （1）Why are libraries less popular than before？
  

  
  （2）What activities can be organized in a library？
  

  
  （3）What type of book would you like to borrow from your school library？Why？
