  "I'm afraid you have to wait for many years to get the natural balance (自然平衡)." said the young man. At last, the king realized the importance of the tree.

13.  It is nine o'clock on Saturday morning. Liu Lu isn't watching her favorite cartoon, instead she is reading a story. She wants to write a report about the story and share it in the story telling club next Monday. The story. is interesting, and she can't wait to finish it.
Name: Houyi Shoots the Suns
From: Chinese Fairy Tales
About the tale: Once upon a time, there were 10 suns in the sky. They should take turns to shine in the sky every day. But sometimes all ten suns set out at the same time. As a result, the heat destroyed the world. The earth was burning. All the living things couldn't stand the heat. Seeing this, Houyi shot down nine suns, leaving one to give warmth and light. That's why we see only one sun rise in the morning and set at night now.
Review (评论): I would recommend (推荐) you to read this story if you like fairy tales. It is the best story I have read. I hope it can be longer.
 
14.  Recently I made a survey about which subject is the most important at school. The results show that art comes last among 10 subjects. Many people think that art is non-exam subject and should give way to the exam subjects. But is art really useless?
  Studies show that art is very important. Actually, it does more than help the students learn to draw, paint and sing. It also helps them in math, reading and science. Students who learn art are better learners and thinkers. They are also better at working with people and understanding their feelings.
  In addition, art makes learning more fun. It makes students want to learn. It makes it easier for students to keep thinking about one thing. More and more students today seem to have trouble doing that!Students also feel good about themselves when art is part of their life. They learn to see the world in a new way, and that is helpful for every part of their lives.
  But what can we do to connect (连接) art with our life?Firstly, we should read books about art. This
can make us have a better understanding of it. Secondly, it is necessary for us to develop our imagination, like making handmade things. Besides, it is also a good way to watch some videos, go to the art exhibitions (展览) and so on. Through these processes, we could develop a good taste for beauty.
  Art is all around us — the poems we read, the films we watch, the buildings we admire and more. Therefore, as students, instead of looking down upon(看低) art, we should focus on what art really brings to us.
15.  A policeman was moving along the streets of New York. It was cold with a little rain and wind. Then he suddenly slowed his walk to look at a man standing in the dark of the night.
  As the policeman walked towards him, the man said calmly and clearly, "My name is Bob, officer. I'm waiting for a friend."
  "Twenty years ago tonight," he continued, "I said goodbye to my best friend Jimmy Wells here. I planned to leave for the West but Jimmy didn't, so we agreed to meet here again in twenty years."
  "You were successful in the West, weren't you?" asked the policeman.
  "Not really. I almost went broke and ran out of money in Chicago. I hope Jimmy has done well so that he can help me out." Bob shivered (颤抖)a little in the cold. "Your friend is late." the policeman said.
  Bob took out a watch and replied, "He's coming soon." "I hope so." the policeman said and went away.
  Bob waited for another twenty minutes, and then a thin man came to him. He walked to the thin man with a smile. However, the smile disappeared as he saw the thin man's face clearly. "You're not Jimmy Wells!"he cried. "No, I'm not," the thin man replied quietly. "And you are under arrest (逮捕) for the things you did in the West. Here's a note for you."
  His hands began to shake a bit as he read the note:
Bob,
I was the policeman who talked with you just row. It seems that twenty years in the West has changed you a lot. I didn't want to arrest you myself. So I left and got another policeman to do the job.
Your friend,
Jimmy Wells 

  Bob didn't say anything. For a few minutes, he stood there in silence like a stone.
16.  Mountains are usually not nice places for people to live in, mainly because the weather in high mountains is not as good as that in lower lands. Only a few people live in the mountains that are over2,500 meters high, for it is difficult for people to breathe. (1)       If a mountain is higher than 8, 000 meters, like Qomolangma, there is not enough air to support human life. (2)       Besides, there is less ground to grow plants, and plant growing is not often successful because of the bad condition.
  However, mountains are important to people. As we all know that most water in the rivers is from the snow and rain water of the mountains. More than half of the people in the world depend on mountains to get drinking water. Mountains are also rich in minerals (矿产). (3)       More recently, a lot of national parks and ski fields are built in mountain areas. More people go to the mountains to spend their holidays during the hot weather, because it is cooler in the mountains.
  (4)      The sport first became popular in England and soon all over the world. However, only a few people reached the tops of the highest mountains at that time. (5)       Mountain climbing has become one of the most well-known sports around the world.

A. This is known as one of the most dangerous places.
B. Mountain climbing as a sport has a history of more than 150 years.
C. The higher a mountain is, the less air there will be.
D. So, mountain tourism is developing very fast.

22.  China has released the "double reduction" policy ("双减"政策) since July, 2021. It hopes to cut down schoolwork for primary and junior high school students. "Here (1)      the changes of students' school life.
  Thanks to the policy, students have less homework. Teachers (2)      (encourage) us to listen more carefully in class and the homework is mainly from schoolbooks. Most of us finish the homework within 90 minutes." said Li Hua, (3)      11-year-old student from Beijing. "This term, it is clear that teachers have (4)      (teach) more slowly. That gives us enough time to understand what we have learned. " Students are also happy to find that there are (5)       (few) exams than before.
  Besides, almost all primary and middle schools offer 2-hour after-school services (6)       schooldays. Nearly 92%of the students have taken part in after﹣school activities. "We can finish most of (7)      (we) homework at school, so we have more free time. Also, we are able to choose the clubs we are (8)      (interest) in, such as dancing, volleyball, chess clubs and more. We learn about the world around us through these after-school activities." said Li Hua.
  These years, not having enough sleep is a big problem for most students. Now, almost 80% of the students (9)       (get) more time to sleep at night. It does good to their health. Schools and parents are very satisfied with this.
  With these great (10)       (achievement) of the "double reduction" policy, we believe that students will be happier and healthier. Hopefully, all students can have a great time studying in the future!
23.  As the saying goes, "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles". Nowadays, travelling is a common thing. Almost everyone can go on a trip at any time as long as they want to. In fact, centuries ago, some famous people already travelled around China and they got a lot from exploration (探险).
  Xu Xiake, a geographer and writer in Ming dynasty, spent more than thirty years on the road four hundred years ago. With his mother's encouragement, Xu Xiake travelled around China. Along the way, he met bad weathers, a shortage of food and water and so on. But he never stopped travelling and writing. Xu Xiake was on the road all his life, and his travel notes were full of his knowledge. His 600,000-word travel notes finally came-out in 1776, about 135 years after his death. China Tourism Day is set on May19th, the date when he started The Travels of Xu Xiake.
  Marco Polo, a businessman born in 1254 in Italy, is known as a travel king in the west. In 1271, Marco Polo with his father and uncle set foot on the road to China. They met with many difficulties on the road. But it never stopped them from going on. Finally, they reached Shangdu in Inner Mongolia in1275. Kublai Khan gave them a warm welcome there and took them to Dadu. Macro Polo's hard journey created the world's best seller The Travels of Macro Polo. Medieval(中世纪的) readers fell in love with Polo's wonderful descriptions, of Asian countries.
