[1] Citywalk is becoming a new travel fashion for the youth in China who are exploring cultural spots (景点). Unlike traditional travel, it aims to avoid famous tourist spots and large crowds to get a better experience.
[2] Many young people enjoy gathering a couple of good friends and hanging out in the streets when they visit a new city. They can follow a typical city route (路线), exploring old buildings, going window-shopping, drinking a cup of coffee, or enjoying local snacks.
[3] In order to show their Citywalk, more and more people prefer to share their experiences and thoughts through social media (媒体). Xiao Yiyi, a young guide in Changsha, recently shared six Citywalk routes of different cities on the Internet, providing experiences for visitors to "walk in open-air museums". Her Changsha travel route includes more unusual sights such as historical buildings, old streets, and even some snack bars.
[4] Citywalk is spreading from the largest cities to smaller ones, encouraging more travelers and event organizers to join. Some places, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk in their plans to develop cultural tourism and relaxing tours. Shanghai has set up Citywalk bus routes to help day-trippers reach more faraway areas first, and then continue on foot.
[5] Citywalk not only offers a way for young people to explore a city but also provides them with a new social situation, where they can share their interests and ideas and make friends easily. What's more, Citywalk provides an opportunity for tour guides and travel companies to offer a more professional service to meet the ever-changing market requirements.
(1)、How is Citywalk different from traditional travel?(2)、Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.(3)、Why did Xiao Yiyi share some Citywalk routes online?(4)、For what purpose did Shandong include Citywalk in its plans?(5)、What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us? (no more than 6 words) -

5、A Long March 5 rocket took off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan province on May 3, 2024. After flying for about 37 minutes, it successfully placed the Chang'e 6 robotic lunar probe (月球探测器) into an Earth-moon transfer trajectory (转移轨道). Several days later the probe was programmed to land on the moon's far side and started its tasks, which would last about 53 days.
This is the world's first try to bring samples (样本) from the moon's far side. For China, it's the second sample-return moon journey. Chang'e 5 successfully brought samples from the moon in the winter of 2020. Up to now, 10 moon sample-return tasks have been carried out by the United States, the former Soviet Union (前苏联) and China, but all these samples were collected from the moon's near side.
The moon's far side has always been a subject of scientific wonder because of its many mysteries. It's facing away from Earth and it can never be seen from Earth. It was once called the "dark side of the moon" even though it receives just as much sunlight as the near side.
Chinese researchers have found that the soil on the far side is much thicker than that on the near side, but they haven't found out the reason. Samples brought back by Chang'e 5 have helped scientists find that there were volcanic (火山的) activities on the near side around 2 billion years ago. Some scientists thought maybe volcanoes became inactive on the far side about 4 billion years ago. Is it true? Samples from the far side will allow them to know the answer.
"Comparing the make-up of the far side samples from Chang'e 6 with those collected from the near side will be of great scientific value to the international community," said Martin Sweeting, a famous professor of space engineering.
(1)、When did Chang'e 6 begin to work on the moon?A、On May 3, 2024. B、After flying for about 37 minutes. C、In the winter of 2020. D、After landing on the moon's far side.(2)、How many times has China got samples from the moon's near side?A、Once. B、Twice. C、Five times. D、Ten times.(3)、According to the passage, the moon's far side ________.A、receives less sunlight than the near side B、has thicker soil compared with the near side C、can be seen from Earth with powerful cameras D、has more recent volcanic activities than the near side(4)、What can we learn from Martin Sweeting's words?A、Chang'e 6 will stay longer on the moon for more tasks. B、Chang'e 6 is carrying out a valuable task for the world. C、Chang'e 6 will bring samples from both sides of the moon. D、Chang'e 6 can compare samples before bringing them back. -
6、There was a very mean man named Mr. Black who lived on the sixth floor of an apartment building. He was so impolite to his neighbors that no one even knew his first name was Adam. He never said hello to anyone, and he left his rubbish out in the hallway. He always complained (抱怨) about all his neighbors and the noise they made. He even got upset when the couple who lived next door to him, Catherine and David, had a baby. Instead of saying congratulations, he loudly complained about how the baby would surely cry all night.
One day when he was leaving his apartment, Mr. Black saw that his rubbish was gone. In its place, he found a note from David. "Good morning, Mr. Black. I saw your rubbish here, and since I was on my way out, I picked it up for you. I wanted to save you a trip. Have a nice day, David." However, Mr. Black decided to ignore this act of kindness. He began thinking about the terrible traffic he would surely have to deal with on his way to work.
But as time went on, Mr. Black started to feel a little silly. No matter how impolite he was, the couple always smiled at him and politely said hello. It became harder and harder for him not to simply say hello back.
After a few weeks, Mr. Black was always happy to see the couple in the hall. They even started calling him Adam. Later on, they invited Mr. Black into their apartment for a cup of coffee. Mr. Black was very glad that they treated him nicely. He was so upset about it that he had been impolite to everyone he knew. He realized that he should try to do the same with the people he met.

Do you keep old toys and technology? Have you got too many games? If the answer is yes, try selling them online. You could make some money!
Most of us have got some LEGO at home. Now, people pay a lot of money for just one piece. There's a website called www.BrickLink.com where you can sell your old LEGO pieces. A normal piece, if it's the right colour, can sell for $30, and a Darth Vader Helmet(头盔)sells for $60. There aren't many original(原作的)Star Wars Millennium Falcon sets in the world, so one of these is worth $2, 000!
Did you use to collect Happy Meal Toys? They' re free when you buy a Happy Meal at McDonald' s.

Have you ever thought about who made your jeans or designed the logos(徽标)on your shirts? Most people know little about fashion design, so here are two young designers to show us what it's like.
Josh Birch Jones, 19, has been interested in fashion since he was four. He started by drawing his mother' s dresses and creating his own versions. By now, he's designed and made many evening dresses and shown more than three collections in public. Josh lives near London with his mother and designs at home. When he's not designing, Josh is a normal teenager, going to school and hanging out with his friend. At first, his friend thought it was strange that Josh wanted to be a fashion designer, but now he understands why Josh enjoys it so much. Josh designs dresses to make women feel full of power and believes fashion is one of life's little luxuries(奢侈品)。

Emma advises young people to work hard in school and get experience. She's worked at two famous stores, where she learned how to invent forms and design on a computer. She suggests taking as many chances as possible to get work experiences, which she believes is a great way to learn.
What's interesting about both Josh and Emma is that they not only love fashion but also enjoy making people happy with their clothes. They both understand the importance of learning, which may explain their success at such a young age.
(1)、What does the underlined word" versions" in Paragraph 2 mean?A、styles B、plans C、businesses D、projects(2)、Why does Josh design dresses?A、To make money. B、To start his own company.

However, Richard's eyesight(视力)was bad——he couldn't see well without glasses. Good eyesight is important for an astronaut. But Richard decided to find another way to travel into space.
As an adult, Richard was very successful and he was able to make enough money to travel into space on the Soyuz TMA-13. The ticket for the trip to space was $30 million. Finally, on 12th October, 2008, Richard was on Soyuz TMA-13 with the American NASA astronaut, Edward Fincke and the Russian astronaut, Yuri Lonchakov. They were in space for 12 fantastic days.
On the International Space Station there were lots of experiments(实验)to do, so Richard was like a normal astronaut. One experiment for NASA was to study the effect of space travel on people with eye problems. Another experiment was for a Japanese watch company. Richard travelled into space with a special low-gravity watch.
Now, Richard gives talks about his trip and explains to people how looking at the earth from space gives you a new way of seeing our world: From space you can see how humans are changing the planet. Richard's next dream is to move to Mars with his family!

Fred, painter
Last summer, I spent four weeks on the northwest coast of Scotland in a little house by the sea. In the evenings, I sat by the open window and listened to the sounds of the wind and the waves. It was wonderful. After breakfast, I went out to paint and draw. Most days, I didn't see anyone except my neighb our. He was a fisherman. He really liked my work.
