Some students find it difficult to keep a timetable. But when you do the same activities every day, they become your habits(习惯)at last. Why not have a try to make a timetable for yourself?

The machine becomes more and more popular. The sales of the dog-washing machine are increasing. The machine saves a lot of money for dog owners. However, it's bad news for animal hospitals because they are losing many customers.

Third, the most important is that the makers of the machine say it's very safe and does not harm dogs.
One dog owner, Lucy, loves her new machine. She said her dog was happy, too. Lucy explained to the reporters, "Before I bought the dog-washing machine, I only took my dog to the animal hospital a few times a year. Now I wash her every week and she looks great. I also save lots of money."

On October 1st, the first day of China's National Day holiday, a wonderful new movie called A Tapestry of a Legendary Land(《只此青绿》) was shown in the cinemas. This film is a special mix of dance and movie magic!
The story is based on a famous dance poem drama(舞蹈诗剧). It tells us about Wang Ximeng, a painter from the Northern Song Dynasty. He was a talent and loved mountains and rivers. When he was only 18, he tried to finish the famous A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains(《千里江山图》). But after that, he disappeared, leaving little historical record.
The movie brings Wang Ximeng's short life to audience(观众), showing him as a young and smart person. We can learn about his story through the eyes of a modern exhibitor(展卷人). And there is a special character called "Green" in this film. Green represents(代表) the mountains and rivers in the painting. Green also connects the past and the present.
To get closer to the roles in this film, the filmmakers and actors all did lots of preparation. Zhang Han, the actor who plays Ximeng, coped the painting to understand how Ximeng felt when he was creating. While acting, he gave his all to the role, just as Ximeng did with his painting.
The dance poem drama first started in Beijing in 2021 and was performed almost 600 times. It is more and more popular in China even around the world. Director Han Zhen thinks that this movie will also be a big success when it is shown internationally. Chinese culture is ready to shine on the world stage.

20、 阅读下列材料,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。
Most scientists agree the Great Sphinx of Giza(吉萨狮身人面像) was built around 2,500 B.C. But John Anthony West says that it's much older. If he's right, everything anybody has learned about ancient civilizations(文明) would have to be completely changed.
West, a writer and film-maker, first got interested in ancient history after studying the work of a French researcher. The researcher said Egyptian civilization could have developed as early as 30,000 years ago, rather than 7,500 years ago, as most historians believe.
West joined a scientist to do research together. Their research suggested that the Sphinx had been worn down(磨损) over the years by water, rather than by sand and wind.
Wait a minute? Water? How could that be? The Sphinx is in the Sahara Desert, which has been dry for 12,000 years! However, before that time, it was very green. If it's true that water wore down the Sphinx, West thinks that it must have been built centuries earlier.
Whether West is right or wrong, it's important to challenge accepted ideas. That's how science progresses.
West gave some advice for kids: If you are interested in a topic, read everything you can on it. Do your own research. Don't always believe everything your teachers tell you. Ask lots of questions, and find your own answers.
(1)、Most historians believe Egyptian civilization developed ____.A、7,500 years ago B、12,000 years ago C、30,000 years ago(2)、From West's research, we can know the Sphinx was worn down by ____.A、sand B、water C、wind(3)、What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A、The place where West did his research. B、The period when the Sphinx was built. C、The reason why West held his opinion.(4)、Which of the following may the writer agree?A、Science progresses through giving different opinions. B、One should do some research before giving their opinions. C、Kids should ask lots of questions and believe what their teachers say.
