Once there lived a young but foolish king and queen in ancient China. One day the queen had a baby daughter. When they saw their baby, they both cried. “My goodness (天哪！)! How small and ugly it is! It has no hair or teeth! It’s a monster!” they sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.
“When she takes your medicine, she must grow up to the right size at once and have hair and teeth when we see her again, ” the king said angrily, “If you can’t do this, you will be dead.”
The doctors all thought it impossible. But they dared not say anything against the king. Just then an old doctor stepped forward. “Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,” he said, “but it takes time. We have to build a wooden house near the Kun Lun Mountains. We must live there till the snow melts (融化) for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only in six years. So we need twelve years.”
At last the king agreed with him. So the doctors together took the princess (公主) away with them. One her twelfth birthday, the doctors brought their princess back to her parents, with long black hair and beautiful white teeth. The king and queen were excited when they saw their beautiful princess. He gave the doctors a lot of expensive presents happily in return. They all had a happy life.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

Spring Festival makes us fat. We visit our relatives and eat. We watch television and eat. We play video games and eat. By the end of the holidays we are fatter and less fit.
The easiest way to avoid getting fat is to eat le ss! There is just too much good food to eat. And much of that good food is not good for our health. Hamburgers, Kentucky Fried Chicken and French fries taste good but harm our health.
Most of these foods come from America. And Americans are worried about their children, too. 25% of American kids are overweight. They get less than 15 minutes of exercise a day, drink 2 litres of soft drinks, and spend 20% of their day watching TV and playing video games.
However, most American kids are very active and there are lots of opportunities for them to play sports. They play basketball, American football, soccer, baseball and ice hockey (冰上曲棍球). There are even “Little Leagues” for kids as young as 5 to play organized sports.
So what can you do in China to get fit instead of fat? Well, you can start doing simple things, like walking more. Get off the bus one stop before your school and walk the rest of the way. Swimming is also a great way to keep fit. Just look at Guo Jingjing! Or you can skip rope ( 跳绳) or play basketball with friends.
It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you do it. So, get up early, get active and get fit！

During Spring Festival, what do we mostly do? __________

Which tastes good and is good for our health? __________

Most American kids spend little time on exercise, less than __________ of their day.

Who is Guo Jingjing? __________

Which of the following is not TRUE? __________

In the modern world, pressure is a serious problem. Today, most student are under too much pressure. Some students can’t get on well with their classmates. While others may worry about their tests. Even they can't get enough and good sleep. I’m always under pressure, too.
How can we solve the pressure problems? Here are my suggestions.
The first, tell your pressure to someone. I think a conversation with parents or teachers is necessary to solve the problem. We can talk our problems with our teachers or parents. My parents want me to be the top student in class. So they send me to all kinds of training classes at weekends. I feel tired and unhappy. Last Monday evening, I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy. I really felt tired. I needed time to relax. My mother agreed with me at last.
The second, learn to relax yourself. I think the most important way to relieve us from our pressure is to learn to relax ourselves. In order to relax ourselves, we can turn to some of our hobbies and interests. Different students have different ways. For example, we can listen to music, watch TV, or read some books. But for me I often exercise. I enjoy it. I think taking exercise can not only rest our brains and eyes but also help build our bodies. I think sports are really helpful to both my health and my study. We can also go for a trip. We can visit somewhere beautiful and peaceful to relax. And we can get close to the nature.
Why does the writer feel tired and unhappy?

What does the underlined word mean?

How does the writer usually relax himself?

Which of the following statements is right according to the passage?

What is the best title (标题) of the passage?
