24、Dear Liz,
My stay in Thailand has certainly been fantastic in my life.
Life is busy and exciting. Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10 million and heavy traffic. I’m very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the city. There are Mr and Mrs Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma.
I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda. The school teaches about 70 percent in English, and 30 percent in Thai. I’ve learned some spoken language, but Thai writing is very difficult. The cooking lesson is my favourite. I’m learning all about Thai food and culture. People don’t use chopsticks here, but spoons and forks. When I come back, I’m going to cook you a real Thai meal.
Last weekend we visited some temples. We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok. I thought it was great. But Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket Island. The beaches there are even more beautiful. The month after next, we’re going to travel to Mr Phairat’s hometown in the north of Thailand. The Phairats own land there, and they have two elephants. I’m going to ride those elephants — and even wash them. Sanan and Chinda say it’s really fun.
I’m amazed by everything in this country, especially by the elephants. Elephants are an important part of Thai culture and way of life. They have been a traditional symbol of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace. In the seventh century, a Thai king trained 20,000 elephants for battle (战斗).
I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing (拳击) lessons next time I write.
Yours
Mandy

25、 What can we do whenever Earth faces a disaster? Is the only solution running away from the planet in spaceships? The latest Chinese sci-fi (科幻) movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different and more ambitious (有雄心的) idea.
The film is based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin. In the film, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. Humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system that will push Earth away from the sun. We're taking the Earth with us to run away.
What makes The Wandering Earth different from Hollywood-style space films? It’s probably the special cultural background (背景). For many years, “homeland” has rooted (生根) in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old saying is luoyeguigen. It means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. There are also many ancient poems about homeland. “The season called the White Dew begins tonight / Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright”. These all show that Chinese people have the tight bond (情感纽带) with their homeland.
What is Chinese sci-fi? Guo Fan, the film’s director said, “Chinese sci-fi is a way to express our cultural and spiritual core (精神内核). Otherwise (否则), we’re just imitating (模仿) others and telling the same American stories.” And the film was released on February 5, 2019, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. It seems the best time to tell this Chinese sci-fi story. Anyway, to us Chinese, Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home.
【1】Why do people consider the film so ambitious?
A.Because humans work together to build a giant engine system.
B.Because humans are trying to take the Earth to run away together.
C.Because the film story is written by the famous writer Liu Cixin.
D.Because people have managed to run away from Earth in spaceships.
【2】Why does the writer use the old saying and ancient poems in this passage?
A.To tell the difference between Chinese and American.
B.To remind us of China’s many years of history.
C.To teach some Chinese traditional cultures and spirits.
D.To express Chinese people’s love of their homeland.
【3】What does the underlined sentences mean? ____________.
A.明月几时有,把酒问青天 B.露从今夜白,月是故乡明
C.举杯邀明月,对影成三人 D.床前明月光,疑是地上霜
【4】What makes The Wandering Earth different from Hollywood-style sci-fi?
A.Its fantastic pictures and settings. B.Imitating foreign sci-fi films.
C.Its Chinese cultures and spirits. D.Its creative and brave idea.
【5】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.The Latest Chinese Sci-fi Film B.What is Chinese Sci-fi?
C.Chinese Sci-fi Sets a New Path D.Chinese Sci-fi VS Hollywood-style
26、 Final exams are just around the comer. Liu Haoxuan,14, who studies at Beijing Dayu School, is quite busy. However, he still had to find time to practice his spoken English. That’s because he had to take a new English listening and speaking test.
Liu is not alone. This is a new test for all students who are taking senior high school entrance exams (中考)in Beijing. Junior 3 students have to take an English listening and speaking test that counts for 40 points on their full English exam. The test is taken on a computer. They can take the test twice---once in December and again in March---to try to get the highest score possible. The test was just introduced last year.
During the 30-minute test, students have to fill in blanks, answer questions and retell stories after listening to different materials. “It pushes us to speak. Though it was hard at the beginning, it's a good thing,” Liu said. He got a low score when he first took it last semester. But he kept working hard in order to improve his pronunciation and other skills. He practiced speaking in front of a mirror every day. Later, he got a score of 39 on the test.
Liu Tianyou,14, from Beijing Yuying Middle School, has his own way to prepare for the spoken English test. He uses apps to take practice tests every day. “The apps will score your performance so that you can improve accordingly,” he said. “Also, the practice tests help me learn to take notes properly. They help me grasp topic sentences and connection words.”

Roald became more and more successful. He always did his writing in an old room at the back of his house. He always sat in the same old armchair. “One of the nice things about being a writer,” he once said, “is that you just need what you’ve got in your head and a pencil and a bit of paper.”
In 1983, Roald won a big prize for his book The BFG (The Big Friendly Giant). During his life, Roald wrote many famous books such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and James and the Giant Peach.
