King was born on January 15, 1929. in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi’s idea of non-violent resistance(非暴力不合作).

On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law (民权法) and delivered his best known speech “I Have a Dream”.

阅读下面短文, 根据其内容完成后面各项任务。

For as long as I can remember, I have loved photos. When I was little, I would spend hours looking at old family photos. In the fourth grade, my parents gave me a camera to take with on our trip to Washington D.C. I took photos of everything that interested me during the trip.

Photography(摄影)is more than a hobby for me - it's my way of life. So why do I take photos?

▲To hold onto memories

Photos capture (捕捉) memories. Time goes by quickly, and it's not always easy to live in the moment. Taking photos makes me hold onto those moments just a bit longer.

▲To tell a story

Photos take us to another place and time. I take the camera with me and record my days. Later I show the photos to my friends and family as I tell them about my days.

▲To see the world differently

I look for the special and beautiful moments every day. Nothing is too boring to be beautiful - sometimes you just have to look for it.

▲ To learn a new skill

Photography is a journey and an art. Although anyone can take photos with their phone, there is a difference between taking photos and learning photography.学习是我生活的一部分

▲To express(表达)myself

A picture is truly worth(值)a thousand words. What I can't explain in words, I can show through photos. Photos make me be able to show others how I see the world.

Do you have a pet? Owning a pet is becoming very common(常见的) in China these days. And pet owners are now willing to spend more money on their pets than before.

According to a report from Goumin.com and Pet Fair Asia, Chinese people living in cities spent a total of 202.4 billion yuan on their pets in 2019. Most pet owners are people born after 1990. Most of them have high incomes and are well educated. Pet owners in China are spending more on pet food, clothing and furniture, according to report from Euro monitor International.

Miss Hou, 28, lives in the city of Chengdu. She spent 6,000 yuan on her two cats last year. I bought tinned cat food from the United States, New Zealand, Japan and Thailand, Hou said to Xinhua. If I have time, I also cook for them, she said.

An aging society and fewer people having children are among the main reasons for keeping pets, said Liu Xiaoxia, CEO of Goumin.com. Keeping pets has met the emotional(感情的) needs of many people. Almost 60 percent of pet owners see their animal friends as their own children, Liu said.

Beating loneliness might be another reason. Many young people are leaving their hometowns to make a living in big cities. They are suffering(忍受) from great loneliness and pressure, as they have few friends and face a high cost of living. Keeping pets will help them feel relaxed, the 2019 Chinese Pet Industry White Paper said.
