Dear motherland,
Happy birthday! You are turning 70! What wonderful it is!
Over the past 70 years, many great changes have took place. My grandpa often tells me that in the past, life is hard. Every person was allowed to buy only 250 grams of meat per month. Today, we can buy whatever we want and eat as many meat as we like. Our history teacher told us how Pudong was full of farm fields in the 1980s. Today, Pudong has world’s second-tallest building. People have more way to spend their weekends. They can go shopping, watching movies with friends or take a walk in a park.
The older generation worked hard to make the changes to happen. The future belongs to us younger generation. I believe they can make you stronger!
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

Learning a foreign language has come into fashion. 1. I’ve chosen these reasons as they express not only learning goals, but also personal goals.
Learning English is fun.
2. However, I think that’s just a problem of how you learn English. Take time to
have fun learning English by listening to music, watching a movie, challenging yourself to play games in English. There are so many ways to learn English while having fun. There are no excuse not to enjoy yourself, even if you have to learn grammar.
English will help you succeed in your career.
This is obvious to anyone who lives in our modern world. Employers want employees who speak English. 3. Learning English to take a test such as IELTS will give you a chance that others might not have, and that might help you get the job you need.
English opens up international communications.
You are on the Internet learning English right now. 4. We are probably living in two different places, and we have been brought up in different cultures. We all know the world needs more love and understanding. No way to improve the world is better than to communicate in English (or other languages) with those from other cultures!
5.
I believe that we are all brought up to see the world in one way. That’s a good thing. However, at a certain point we need to expand our horizons. Learning English will help you understand the world through a different language. Understanding the world through a different language will also help you view the world in a different perspective (视角).
A. This might not be fair, but it is the reality.
B. Learning English will help open your mind.
C. But it is not easy for students to learn English.
D. Learning English is not much fun for many students.

The beach may seem like an inviting place to run on a cool summer morning, but is running on the sand good for your body? It can be, but it’s important to be aware of the challenges that some beach runners experience before you get ready.
Running on the beach can be a good thing. It’s certainly different from running on a track or a pavement. For starters, sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven (不平坦的) surface. As you push off, you’re going to lose some of your push as the sand moves. So, you’re not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track or a pavement. But this unevenness has an upside: It gives your body an extra workout, forcing you to exercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces. For example, your feet, ankles and lower back might feel sorer and more tired than usual after a beach run just because the surface is constantly moving and changing step to step.
You also might feel sore afterward because beaches tend to slope (倾斜) down to the water. If you’re going for a long run on the beach, you might notice that one side of your body might feel sorer because you’re putting more pressure on it due to the slope.
Some beach runners prefer to run barefoot — not wearing anything on feet. However, if you’re not used to barefoot running, start slowly and don’t run long distances at first. That’s because running barefoot uses more different muscles than running with shoes does, and it’s important to strengthen these muscles and adapt your feet. If you want to run barefoot and as long as you run carefully enough into it, go for it!
Running on the sand can be a smart choice for you, because running on softer ground surfaces can reduce muscle damage.
1.Why is it difficult to run on the beach for starters?
A.The soft surface makes people fall over easily.
B.People need to run carefully on its smooth surface.
C.Running on its uneven surface takes much effort.
D.It’s hard to keep one’s balance on its hard surface.
2.Which of the following best explains “upside” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A.Advantage. B.Reason.
C.Character. D.Challenge.
3.What’s the author’s attitude to barefoot running?
A.Critical. B.Supportive. C.Doubtful. D.Uncaring.
4.The passage can probably be found in ______.
A.A primary school textbook B.A tourist guide
C.A sports magazine D.A scientific report
