Wang Fuman is a 10﹣year﹣old student． He is now studying in

Zhuanshanbao Primary School in Zhaotong， Yunnan Province． On Monday morning （January 8， 2018）， he braved ﹣9℃ weather to travel over an hour to reach his school．

When he arrived， his hair and eyebrows had been completely frozen with snowflake （雪花）． This made his 16 classmates laugh a lot． Fu Heng，Wang's teacher saw this and took a picture． He uploaded （上传） Wang's picture． The picture soon has got much attention to children from poor families in the countryside． Wang， who has been nicknamed "Snowflake Boy" by netizens， became famous online overnight． By Wednesday morning， his picture had been "liked" more than 260，000 times on Sina Weibo and shared more than 40，000 times．

After hearing Wang's story， the Yunnan China Youth Development Foundation held a public donation （ 捐赠） activity for children from poor families． The Foundation has promised to give each poor child 500 yuan （＄75）to help them stay warm in winter．

By 1 pm on Wednesday， the Foundation had collected about 300，000 yuan in public donations， according to their website． Wang's village now has electricity and tap water， "…and my family is getting help to build a new house close to the school"， Wang said， "I think our life will get better．"

（4）What can we know from the text？ 　　

China's national anthem， March of the Volunteers， is a song that we learn at the beginning of primary school and sing at every flag﹣raising ceremony． And now， there's even a law to protect it．Last September， the government passed the National Anthem Law， which became effective（生效）from Oct．1， 2017． It states how we should sing or play the song， requiring all of us to behave towards it politely．

Primary and middle schools must teach the anthem to their students and make them understand the song's spirit and history． Moreover， the law requires us to be serious when we are singing the song． We can't joke about it or change the song's words or music． If someone breaks the law， he or she can be detainedfor up to 15 days， or face further punishment in more serious situations． The national anthem is different from other songs ﹣ it is the symbol of our country．

Many foreign countries also have laws for their national anthems． For example， American school children should put their right hand over their heart while singing their country's anthem at school． In Russia， the national anthem must be played on television and radio before the start and end of broadcasting． And in the Philippines， people are required to sing the national anthem with feelings when it's played in public．

（1）How long has the National Anthem Law become effective till now？ 　　

（2）Why must we be serious when singing the song？ 　　

（3）What does the underlined word " detained" mean？ 　　

（4）Students are required to put their right hand over their heart in 　　．

What can be both red or green， round or sharp， big or small， and more importantly， loved or hated by someone？ Yes， the answer is chilies （辣椒）．

Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food， but did you know that this spicy （辣 的）   vegetable could also be dangerous？ A 34﹣year﹣old US man recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper， the spiciest chili people have known so far． After taking just a single bite of one， the man suffered from serious headaches in the following days， reported BBC News．

In fact， eating spicy food causes stomachache and headache． But if chilies are harmful， why do people like to eat this vegetable？ So what makes people love chilies so much？ The human body is influenced by natural chemicals that produce "a sense of happiness"， noted BBC News．

And chilies do good to people in another way． Scientists found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week． The death rate is 14 percent lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week． This encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and bring less death risk at an early age． So， don't worry if you love spicy food． It seems that chilies are actually good for us．

（2）People like to eat chilies because 　　．

（3）What is true about the last paragraph？ 　　

（4）Which of the following can be the best title？ 　　

Once， when the food we ordered at a restaurant arrived， the first thing we wanted to do was to eat right away． （1） 　　Others want to take at least five photos of their food to share on social media， such as Wechat．

（2） 　　"Foodtography" has been around for longer than one would expect． Take US photographer Irving Penn （1917﹣2009）for example． In 1947， Vogue magazine published many food photos taken by Penn． Looking at the carefully put salad ingredients or the cakes on stands（货 架）， it would be easy to think Penn's 70﹣year﹣old photos were taken just last week．

Besides Penn's efforts， it seems that social media is behind the recent rise of foodtography．（3） 　　And the star posts just one delicious﹣looking food picture with the place where it was taken． It can bring hundreds of new customers for the restaurant．

So while it's fun to share pictures of delicious dishes with your friends， just remember the most important thing： （4）

China is a huge， fascinating country with so much to see． （5）A 　　a student， I love traveling （6） 　　my parents， from big cities， to seaside hot spots， to holy mountains， to national parks， to historical sites and to （7） 　　/smɔ：l/ villages far away． （8） 　　（get） out of your comfortable home here to some unknown places is a good experience as well． And you can eat local food， and（9） 　　（real） reach the heart of the country．
