Summer in your country may not be the same as summer in other countries.Summer is different all around the world!

____ In the Northern Hemisphere(the half of the Earth above the equator),summer is in the months of June,July and August,but in the Southern Hemisphere(the half of the Earth below the equator), summer happens in December,January and February.

The time the sun rises and sets is different around the world,too.In places that are in the extreme north or south of the Earth,such as Antarctica or Lapland, there is sunshine 24 hours a day during summer!This is called the "midnight sun" because you can see the sun at midnight during the summer.

The weather can be different in summer,too.In countries with tropical(热带的)climates,such as Thailand or Bangladesh,the weather in summer is very hot and humid(潮湿的)with lots of rain.Some countries,such as Spain,have hot and dry summers.In some countries,summer isn't very hot at all.In Iceland,the average(平均的) summer temperature is around15℃.

Even the sounds of summer are different!In some countries,such as China,you can hear the really loud buzzing sound of cicadas(蝉)all summer long.

Summer traditions are also different all around the world.In Mexico, people eat ice lollies called paletas that can be made from fruits such as strawberries,mangoes or even avocados!In Japan,people eat flavored shaved ice called kakigori and cold noodles in the hot summer weather.

The World Cup is an international football competition that takes place every four years. 

The first World Cup event was held in 1930 ,and it can take place anywhere in the world. In 2018 the host country was Russia, in 2014 it was Brazil, in 2010 it was South Africa, and this year, in 2022, the host country is the State of Qatar. It is the first time that a country in the Middle East is hosting the World Cup and only the second time that a country in Asia is hosting the competition.

While the World Cup usually takes place in the months of June and July. It is pretty hot in Qatar during the summer months, so the competition will take place in November and December this year.

There are 32 national teams participating（参赛）. These teams were determined through qualifying（资格） matches. There will be a total of 64 matches played over the 28-day World Cup. These will take place in eight stadiums across the State of Qatar. The opening match will be played at Al Bayt Stadium on the 20th of November between Qatar and Ecuador after the opening ceremony.

The winning team is presented with a gold trophy（奖杯） which,because of its high value,is kept until the post-match celebrations are over. They then receive a gold-plated copy of the trophy to keep.All members of the top three teams receive medals（奖牌） with an image of the World Cup trophy on them.The winners receive gold medals,the team in second place receive silver medals and the team in third place bronze medals.

Here are some ads for activities during summer vacation.

There was a man who had four sons. He hoped that his sons could learn not to judge（评价）things too quickly. So he gave his four sons a task, asked each of them to go to see a pear tree in different  .

The first son  in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the youngest in autumn. When all of his sons returned home, he called together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said the tree was ugly it didn't have leaves. It stood alone on the ground. The tree was hopeless.

The second son said it was not like that, the tree was covered with green buds（芽）and full of  .

The third son didn't think so , saying that the tree was full of flowers and they looked so . He had never seen such beautiful flowers before.

The last son  with all of them, saying that the tree was filled with . The tree was lively. 

The man told his four sons that they were all  , because they only saw the tree in one season. He told his sons that they could not judge a tree or a person  by one season. Only when all the seasons was over could they know a tree or a person completely .

We can learn more from this story. If we just  in winter, we will miss the hope of spring, the beauty of summer and the harvest(丰收) of autumn in our life.

Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all?Yes, I have. But the1 has influenced me. 

Two years ago, I was told I had a serious2 which was difficult to deal with. My body ached all the time and I thought I didn't have much3 to live. I was very afraid and I felt so4 and sad. Then one day, I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment（治疗）. The doctor wanted me to relax,5 he had me listen to some music, and one of the6 was "Happy". The song made me feel so7 better that from then on I8 to listen to music all the time. John A. Logan said,"Music is the9 of the mind." And it's true. Music helped me recover（恢复）.

Music gave me happiness. When I listened to music, it made my spirits fly like a kite in the wind. Music gave me strength and 10  me relief（解脱）. It was the rock that made me become  11 and to get through those hard times.12 , music gave me hope and a sense of satisfaction. It became my best friend. It spoke words of encouragement to the deepest part of my heart.

 I hope 13  of you have to go through the same kind of pain that I did. At the same time, we all14 all kinds of periods when we feel sad or alone. During those times, music can help 15 in the same way that it helped me. I hope all of you will begin to treasure music and make it a part of your life.

 It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route ( 路 线 ) through thick evergreen forest. 

 I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn't with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. 

 What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! 

 I quickly searched the crowd for the school's coach and asked him what had happened. "I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him," he explained uncomfortably. "I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide." 

 I bit back my frustration (懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward. 

 David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer -that's all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the David faced and was school, I was familiar with the challenges the challenges proud of his strong determination. 

注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

 We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn't look at me. 

 I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.

China's most complicated and challenging space adventure--the Chang'e 5 robotic lunar mission — ended successfully early Thursday morning with its load of rocks and dust from the moon (land) on the grasslands in northern China.

The recovery team will make initial processing of the capsule and then use a plane to transport it to Beijing, it'll be opened for (technique) to remove the container holding 2 kg of lunar samples from a (previous) unvisited area known as "Ocean of Storms", the China National Space administration said.

Next, the sealed samples will be transferred to specially (design) laboratories for analyses, experiments and tests so scientists can determine the extraterrestrial (地球以外的) substances' composition, structure and traits. This can (deep) their knowledge about the history of the moon and the solar system. In addition those scientific objectives, project planners also want the mission to help to foster the country's knowledge, technology and talent pool for its future manned lunar missions and other deep-space expeditions. Therefore, certain proportion of the samples will also be on public display to enhance science (aware) among the public especially young generations.

 The successful landing marked the completion of the historic 23-day Chang'e 5expedition, the first in more than 40 years (bring) lunar samples back to Earth, also making China the third country to achieve this feat after the United States and the former Soviet Union. 

 John Ogburn doesn't remember a single thing about Monday, June 26, 2017. He doesn't remember collapsing to the floor at about 4:15 pm, his heart having gone completely, terrifyingly1  . 

Bradley was just starting her2 at Panera when her brother told her someone had 3 in the back of the restaurant. When they got to John, he was spread on the4 . His face was dark purple. "It was the 5 thing I've ever witnessed," Bradley says. She dialed 911. It was 4:17 pm.

As6 would have it, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer Lawrence Guiler, who had been a EMT (内科急救专家), was about 50 feet away. Guiler arrived at Panera7 and began CPR. Within 30 seconds, another8 , Nikolina Bajic, rushed in. He was9 handling an accident nearby. A few minutes later, four Charlotte firefighters arrived, opened John's air- way, and filled him with an oxygen mask. They took turns performing CPR. They also used a defibrillator (除颤器) to try to 10 his heart into restarting. It didn't.

 Around 4:30 pm, while John was receiving CPR from a total of eight first 11  , his iPhone started ringing. It was his wife. She was told John had gone into heart12  . 

"It was terrifying," she says. Someone informed her that John had received CPR for 38 minutes before they established a pulse. John was 13 to the intensive care unit and treated in hopes of giving his body time to recover. Two days later ― on his 36th birthday, in fact ― he started to wake up.

14 , the only aftereffects were some short-term memory loss and an extremely sore chest from the 3500 compressions (胸部按压). "Seeing that he made a full15 is ― I can't even explain it," Dr. Mel Laughlin says. "Everything that could go right for him did."

Hanfu is a traditional robe of the Han people, which has a history of thousands of years in China. The number of people adopting the ancient style of dress in modem times has grown significantly these days. The hanfu clothing industry is now worth one billion yuan (US$140.7 million). However, it may be too early to call it a "revival" (复兴).

And it sounds impressive that about 2.2 million people in China wear hanfu. But considering that the clothing retail (零售) industry was worth 1.92 trillion yuan in 2017, one billion yuan is a small number. Similarly, 2.2 million seems a small number considering that China's population is more than 1.3 billion.

Having played a major role in China's clothing history, hanfu remained popular until the late 1600s. After pursuing Western fashion, it's natural that Chinese people are returning to traditional clothing in search of their cultural identity.

But what is the obstacle of hanfu's revival, despite people's love for it? The hanfu trend appeared five years ago, so the industry is quite young. And many tailors are still learning how best to make hanfu from historical TV dramas and so on. But most of these historical dramas are fictional, as are many of the clothes the characters wear.

 Short-video and live-streaming apps are the other sources that promote the hanfu culture. But most of these live streamers have their own shops. To fulfill their selfish interests, those behind the short videos and live-streaming blame one another instead of working together to revive the hanfu culture. 

 If these live-streamers really want to develop the hanfu culture, they should change their attitude and work together for the betterment of the hanfu industry. 

 A. One billion yuan is a huge figure. 

 B. The lack of a standard seems to be the main problem. 

 C. The popularity of hanfu reflects the diversity of Chinese culture. 

 D. This means they promote hanfu culture to increase their own profits. 

 E. Even the traditional Korean and Japanese costumes originated from it. 

 F. This has prompted many to say it symbolizes the revival of Han or hanfu culture. 

 G. It is natural for Chinese people to show their love for traditional culture by wearing hanfu. 

The new radio programme from Self-help expert Glennon Doyle unexpectedly disturbed me. In a session of We Can Do Hard Things, she focuses on boundaries and their importance to our mental happiness. I heartily agree with her, because saying a polite but firm "no" is one of the basis for a happy life. I was, however, interested when she raised the idea that perhaps, as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries, we also need to stretch them. When does a boundary become a cage that locks us away?

Isn't it always the case that just as you think you've got an area of life nailed; somebody comes along to show you that that's not the case? As I listened, I started to see boundaries that might cause more problems than they were solving.

There was the work boundary that said that unless a project fell exactly into my topics, I wouldn't take it ― which meant that I turned down work that was otherwise interesting and rewarding.

There was the boundary that said I wasn't to buy anything until I'd reached my savings goal ― which resulted in me having to restart my laptop 20 times a day.

And then there was a boundary around relationships that set out exactly how I should be treated and what I wanted in them. Helpful to some extent, it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me, even if it wasn't quite what I had predicted.

Had I been doing boundaries wrong all the time? Did I need to figure them all out again? I've spent the past few weeks looking at the boundaries I've secretly put in place, and I've let myself lower some that have been my protection over the years. Then I've come to the conclusion that, when it comes to boundaries, I'm a beginner again, and that's fine. In fact, being back at the beginning is a blessing because it means there are still lessons to be learned and adventures to be had and that is something for which I can only be grateful.

We are often so attracted by the promises of modern digital life that we fail to notice its danger. It's that feeling of losing control that we get a dozen times a day, from when we get distracted with our phones in a discussion to when we can't appreciate a private moment without sharing it with virtual audience.

 In my first attempt to get control over my technology use, I set my phone to vibrate rather than ring. Soon after, another problem appeared. The act of continually checking the phone became a habit. I knew then that using only tips to permanently reform digital life is difficult. We should go past the notification settings on our devices or apps and consider the more essential topic of why we use so many apps in the first place. What all of us who are struggling with these challenges need is a technology usage philosophy, something that explains from the ground up which digital tools we allow into our lives, why, and under what conditions. 

Cal Newport, a professor of computer science defines Digital Minimalism as a "philosophy of technology use in which you focus your online time on a small number of carefully selected activities that strongly support the things you value, and then happily miss out on everything else".

 To do so, however, we cannot passively allow the tools and apps provided by the Internet age to control how we spend our time or how we feel. Instead, we must take steps to draw the positive aspects of these technologies while sidestepping the negative aspects.
