I’ve been thinking about you and me And how our friendship came to be How long ago I hoped that we

Could be Forever Friends

And how I look back on these days

And smile at all the little ways

We made the hard times seem okay

Like true Forever Friends

At times we’d laugh so hard and then We’d catch out breath and start again Cause’ having fun comes easy when You’re with Forever Friends

Together we’ve shared wonderful sights

Like soft spring days and starlight

When all the world seems still and right

With my Forever Friend

And on those days when rain would fall

And life was not much fun at all

You were always there to take my call

A true Forever Friend

Life’s wandering roads may take us far But if we’re apart let each bright star Remind us how blessed we are

To be Forever Friends

And when the stars shine down we’ll see

Perhaps by fate or destiny

A friendship that was meant to be

You and Me

Forever Friends

Night after night, she came to make me comfortable in bed, even long after my childhood years. Following her daily habit, she'd bend down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead(额头).

I don't remember when it first started annoying(使人恼怒的) me— her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt rough(粗糙的) against my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, "Don't do that anymore —your hands are too rough!" She didn't say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that expression of her love.

Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night. By then I missed my mother's hands, missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead. Sometimes it seemed very close, sometimes far away. But always it existed, in the back of my mind.

Well, the years have passed, and I'm not a little girl anymore. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family. She's been our doctor, reaching for the medicine to calm a young girl's stomach or help with the boy's injured knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world... washes blue jeans more carefully than I can...

Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special days, I spend the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a hand run across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.

In my memory, for the thousandth time, I remembered the night my young voice complained, "Don't do that anymore — your hands are too rough!" Catching Mom's hand in hand, I cried out how sorry I was for that night. I thought she'd remember, as I did. But Mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten — and forgiven (原谅)— long ago.

That night, I fell asleep with a new understanding for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

4.What is my mom like?

A.guilty B.gentle C.careless D.silent

In the last century, differnet natural disasters have robbed several cultural heritage(遗产) from us. On WeChat, some people say, “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonders anymore.” But people can see them in a new way---through a video game. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like they are in reality, and see the wonders as they were before the fire.

Maybe digital technology(数字技术) could help protect cultural heritage better. This idea dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to develop since then. By scanning(扫 描) the ancient buildings, building 3D models, as well as measuring everything, engineers can make a copy exactly as the real one.

As computers and smart phones are popular, the digital copy has great value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural heritage without touching them, which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes(敦煌石窟) is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them.

Second, it can make the cultural heritage more famous by spreading information about them through the internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Dunhuang Grottoes became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years.

Last, it stores all the information of the cultural heritage. Even if the real ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a new one if wanted. Of course, however exact a model, it is not the real one.

Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to protect cultural heritage at the moment.

3.The writer uses the example of Dunhuang in Paragragh 3 and 4 to .

A.show the writer is really interested in travelling to Dunhuang

B.prove people can build a new one if the real ones are damaged

C.show Dunhuang Grottoes are disappearing because of the disaster

D.prove computers and phones makes digital copies more valuable

4.What is the writer’s attitude(态度) towards the digital technology?

A.Doubt. B.Confident. C.Critical D.Unclear.

Located in the southern part of the Yangtze River delta(三角洲),

Taihu Lake is the third largest fresh water lake in China. With a surface area of about 2,338 square kilometers, Taihu Lake is a famous scenic spot in China and is well known for its lake, its hills and its fantastic man- made scenery.

Taihu Lake is located in the Yangtze River delta. It crosses Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, where 48 islands, big or small, and 72 hills and peninsulas(半岛) along the lake combine to form a view of great natural beauty. The best place to view the beautiful Taihu Lake is on the Turtle Head Island. Turtle Head Island is an island whose shape is really like the head of a turtle sticking out from the water. Taihu Lake and the nearby scenery will attract you when you climb onto Turtle Head. When the soft winds blow, waves roll and the hills in the distance look like a landscape painting. The scene is really fascinating.

Besides the natural scenery of Taihu Lake, there are many historic sites , such as the Grand Canal (运河) of the Sui Dynasty, the islands in the lake along with the coastal places in the east, the north and the west, both of which are the cradle(摇篮) of the culture of Wuyue (this culture touches on traditions that flow from or refer to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and the southeast part of Anhui Province today) and so on.

Taihu Lake is a rich source of fish. Traveling there, you can taste the famous delicious food known as “Taihu Lake Three Whites”. They are white shrimp, white bait(银鱼) and white fish. The feast(盛宴) is generally prepared in the boat as one floats on the calm waters of Taihu Lake. It is very well worth a visit.

The wise man suddenly asked him, “If there is not enough firewood, how should you boil the water?” The young man thought for a moment and s 5. his head.The wise man said, “If so, pour out some water!” The young man n 6. thoughtfully. The wise man continued, “You set too many goals at f7. , just as there is too much water but you didn’t have enough firewood, so you couldn't boil the water, and if you wanted to make the water boil, you e8.empty some of the water or prepared some firewood!”

The young man saw the light suddenly. When he went back, he removed many listed goals from his plan, l9.only a few recent ones, while with spare time he studied. A few year later, his goals were realized.
