Dancing is popular all over the world. People dance in theaters, in parks or in their living rooms. But Yang Liu, a woman in Guizhou, dances in an unusual place. Her stage is a single bamboo pole.
Yang is a performer of bamboo drifting (独竹漂). It is a traditional skill in the girl’s hometown. In ancient times, the local people crossed the rivers by riding on a bamboo pole. Now, bamboo drifting has developed into a folk sport.
Yang started to learn bamboo drifting at the age of seven. The bamboo pole is very slippery (滑的) and it never completely stops moving. Yang fell into the water again and again. But the girl got back up on the pole and tried again. She practiced hard every day for three years. Finally, she was able to keep her balance (平衡) on the pole.
________ She wanted to live out her dream of becoming a dancer on a bamboo pole The girl practiced many difficult movements on the pole. She failed countless times, but she never stopped trying.
Her hard work finally paid off. Now 24, Yang has made a name for herself as a dancer on a bamboo pole. People can’t believe their eyes whenever they watch her performances. Through Yang’s dances, many people now know about bamboo drifting. They have discovered the beauty of this traditional skill.

Many cities around the world have closed some streets to cars to make more outdoor space for people to enjoy. Paris in France plans to ban (禁止) private (私人的) cars from the heart of the city. The ban is going to take more than 100, 000 cars off the roads each day.
Car-free streets have become a place for people to play, shop and listen to live music. Many people want more car-free streets, but others get worried. What do you think Should cities have car-free streets
Yes—more outdoor space is always better
Opening up car-free streets can make more outdoor space for people to get outside and enjoy life. Shops and restaurants on car-free streets benefit (得益) from foot traffic. And slow streets help new businesses, such as food trucks, to develop (发展) in the area. Also, cars cause air and noise pollution. Closing streets to cars will make people take buses or ride bikes instead. It’s safer and better for everyone.
No—car-free streets cause other problems
Car-free streets cause traffic problems on nearby roadways. That makes it harder for people to go about their daily lives. Also, businesses on open streets can get into trouble because foot traffic doesn’t always mean more sales. They could lose customers (顾客) who want to drive to shops. And even when streets are car-free, there are usually still other vehicles like bikes. People, especially kids, may not be looking out for these vehicles. That could put them in danger.
29. How does the writer develop Paragraph 1
A. By telling a story. B. By making a joke.
C. By asking a question. D. By giving an example.
30. Which is NOT the reason why cities should have car-free streets

B. They can cause less air and noise pollution.
C. They can help people enjoy staying outside.
D. They are good for new businesses to develop.
31. Car-free streets are dangerous for kids because ________.
A. kids may get outside alone B. kids may have to ride on their own
C. kids may be hurt by other vehicles D. the food in food trucks may be unhealthy
32. What’s the structure (结构) of this passage (P=Paragraph)
A. B. C. D.
33. What’s the title of the passage
A. Are Car-free Streets Safe for People
B. Do Car-free Streets Cause Problems
C. Should Cities Have Car-free Streets
D Can Car-free Streets Help Develop New Businesses

Do you laugh every day Most people do. Scientists say that people laugh about 17 times a day. That is a lot of laughter (笑声).
In India, there are hundreds of laughter clubs. The people in these clubs get together every morning. First, they stretch their hands above their heads. Then they pretend (假装) to laugh. Soon everyone is laughing naturally. People say they feel good after laughing together.
Scientists believe that laughter is good for you. Why For one thing, laughter is good exercise. When you laugh, you exercise many muscles (肌肉) in your body. Scientists say that one hundred laughs equals (等于) ten minutes of running. When you laugh, you also breathe deeply. This helps you relax. That’s good for you, too.
Why do we laugh That is a hard question to answer. We know that people laugh more often in a group. They don’t laugh very often when they are alone. Laughter helps us feel part of a group, so many scientists believe that we use laughter to connect (连接) to other people.
In England, people say that laughter is the best medicine. Some think that laughter helps sick people get well. Do you think so

Dear Jack,
I’d like to share with you the interesting activities. My classmates and I went to Sunshine Farm by bike. It was not far from our school.
At 8: 00 on March 25th, we met at the school gate and started out happily. After an hour’s ride, we arrived at the farm. As soon as we arrived there, we visited the farm. There were so many plants and cute animals on the farm. After that, we planted flowers and vegetables. That was so interesting. At noon, we learned to cook lunch. The dishes were delicious. After a short rest, we went to listen to a talk in a hall. We returned at 4: 00 p.m.
I had a wonderful experience on the farm. I learned a lot from the activities. I hope to visit the farm again some day.
Best wishes!
Yours,
