Now I will show you the latest time-saving invention: a dog-washing machine. Dog owners can buy one for their dogs. They can save time by putting their dogs in the machine and then 33 minutes later, a clean and fresh-smelling dog comes out.
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.
The dog-washing machine has many advantages. First, the whole cleaning process includes a shampoo(洗发), rinse(冲洗) and blow-dry. Second, tests showed that dogs enjoyed the washing process and were very happy when the blow-dryer started working. 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."

The headmaster at my school decided to play an April Fool's joke on the students when I was in junior high school. On March 31st, she said that our school would hold a "Dress to Impress Day".

On April Fool's Day, many of us students came to school dressed in our best clothes. Our hair was tidy and all our shoes were well cleaned. In the morning, all of us got together on the playground, waiting for the headmaster. She would speak to the students. Instead, she wore jeans, running shoes and a T-shirt. The other teachers also got dressed casually(着装休闲地) like her.

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.
(1)、When was the movie shown?A、In 2021. B、On October 1st. C、In the Northern Song Dynasty.(2)、What is the movie about?A、A poem about Wang Ximeng. B、A painter from the Northern Song Dynasty. C、The creation of a legendary painting.(3)、How did Zhang Han prepare for his role as Ximeng?A、By studying Ximeng's life. B、By performing the dance poem drama. C、By copying the painting to understand Ximeng's feelings.(4)、Which is true about the dance poem drama?A、It is not successful as the movie. B、It has only been performed in Beijing.

12、 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. -

New uses for old clothing

What do you think of the "new" hat I made for my sister?
It used to be my mom's sweater.
Nowadays, we're more wasteful than ever — buying, using and throwing things away without thinking about the cost. We need to start living more responsibly, but how? One answer is to recycle.
Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest.
Do you recycle? If so, what new things have you made? If not, why not give it a try?
Terry Posted at 9:08 a.m. Reply
Why don't you give your old clothes to people in need? I even give away the most expensive clothes I don't wear anymore. So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need.
Gina Posted at 9:28 a.m. Reply
Good point! I'm talking about only the oldest clothes in your room — the clothes that are too old to be worn by others. The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets. Before recycling food that can still be eaten, for example, using it to make soil, we should give it to those in need.
(1)、What is special about the hat?A、It came from an old sweater. B、It was a gift from Gina's sister. C、It was new and expensive.(2)、Why did Gina give a reply to Terry?A、To draw Terry's attention. B、To further explain her idea. C、To express her deep regret.(3)、What can we learn from the blog?A、Terry seldom wastes food. B、Gina won't give away her old clothes. C、Gina thinks making new things can mix her talent and interest. -

Have you ever visited a history museum? Near Chengdu, China, there is a special museum called Sanxingdui. It holds ancient treasures from over 3, 000 years ago. These artifacts(古器物)change what we know about China's past.
Inside the museum, you will see amazing things. There is a very tall bronze statue(青铜雕像)with big eyes and large ears. Golden masks(面具)are so thin that they look like they could float.

Charity(慈善)shops are special stores that sell donated items(捐赠物) to raise money for good causes. In countries like the UK, USA and Canada, they are often called"thrift stores". The word"thrifty"means being careful with money and not wasting things. These shops sell second-hand clothes, books, and toys at low prices. Some also sell products(产品)made by people in poor areas. All the money helps different charities that support medical research, animal welfare(福利), and people in need.
China has charity shops too. The first one opened in Shanghai in 2003. Now there are more than 200 charity shops in Shanghai's communities. The people working in these shops are volunteers. They don't get paid-they work to help others. Their job is to organize all the donated items.
Charity shops do two important things. First, they raise money to help those in need. Second, they help the environment by reusing things instead of throwing them away. When you give or buy at a charity shop, you become part of this cycle of kindness that helps both people and our planet.
(1)、What do charity shops do with the money they make from selling donated items?A、Keep it for the shop owners. B、Give it to different charities.
