“Lots of restaurants say they’re the best. To be honest, we are not and we’ve never said we are. We just try to be a little bit better every day,” said Mr. Yang, who runs a restaurant named Grandpa Yang in Chongqing.

Yang started the restaurant in 2011. He was unhappy when quite a lot of food was left uneaten. “If customers know more about the food before they order, they will know what to pick,” he thought. So he decided to write something about each dish on his menu online.

Now there is something about the food. “Compared with our General Tao Chicken; this one is not THAT good,” says the introduction of Orange Beef. Another introduction warns. “Don’t let the name fool you. This one is NOT a real Sichuan dish.”

“People often search online to find the right restaurant. I don’t want them to say, ‘Oh, it’s one of the best in the area, and it must be very good,’ but then they come here only to find it’s not so good,” Yang said, “Customers should read more about the food before they order, not only my introductions, but also other customers’ opinions.”

Thanks to his honesty, the restaurant is having a moment under the sun. “It’s been a very exciting and busy time,” said Yang, “and I love it.”

(1). The restaurant Grandpa Yang was started ________.

(2). Mr. Yang was unhappy when ________.

(3). Mr. Yang thinks that ________.

(4). According to the passage, the restaurant becomes successful mainly because ________.

When Xiong Chuanfa, 34, blows a lifelike tiger out of sugar in just minutes, kids look at him in surprise thinking he is a magician.

Xiong has been blowing sugar figurines (吹糖人) for over twenty years. Blowing sugar figurines is a Chinese traditional folk (民间) art with a history of over 600 years and has been listed as a state-level intangible cultural heritage.

Every morning, Xiong prepares the sugar and drives to different markets in Nanchang to start his magic show.

He heats (加热) the sugar, pulls off a little to make a ball and blows it into different shapes — a rabbit, a monkey, and even Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

People, especially little kids, are interested in his skills. ________, he also stops by colleges.

Many college students have been drawn to the art, waiting in line for hands-on experience. Among them, Simon, a foreign student, couldn’t help having a try. Though it looked easy, he found it difficult to make it. Thanks to Xiong’s help. Simon finally saw a horse slowly taking shape.

Simon was deeply moved after learning about the art. “I just can’t believe the traditional folk art can be kept so well here. I love it. Chinese culture should be spread around the world,” he said.

This art has been passed down for four generations (代) in Xiong’s family. His 6-year-old son often blows sugar balloons, just like what he used to do as a child.

“We will pass on the intangible heritage,” said Xiong.

(1). From the passage we can learn that Xiong Chuanfa is ________.

(2). Which of the following can be put in the ________?

(3). According to the passage, we can infer (推断) that Simon will most probably ________.

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

We all have those moments when bright ideas hit us, but not everyone can develop such moments into the fruits of creative thinking. While we believe creative thinking is the falling apple of Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists, we seldom notice that creative thinking is in fact a process (过程).

Let’s look at what happened in 1666.

Sitting in the garden, Newton watched an apple fall from a tree. He began to wonder if the same force that pulled the apple down also kept the moon circling the earth. Newton believed it did. He called it “gravity (重力)”.

This story has become one of the most popular examples of “eureka” moments. But when we cheer for the great discovery, the whole process of creative thinking shouldn’t be forgotten.

Newton studied mathematics for long to have a better understanding of the world. He always enjoyed finding new ways to solve problems. The falling apple was only the fruit of years of hard work before. It also started the train of thought that continued for the next twenty years.

Newton began to examine “gravity” carefully. He experimented (实验). Then he studied the results and used what he had learned to do new experiments. In 1687, the greatest scientific work ever written came out.

The whole process of creative thinking works the same in our life.

In school, we prepare ourselves for the right moment. Once the moment comes, we catch it and then keep on working in the years to come. It takes much to get the fruits of creative thinking, but the sweetest fruits will be ready for those who wait the longest.

(1). You may read the passage in a ________.

(2). The underlined word “eureka” in Paragraph (段落) 4 probably means “________”.

(3). The writer mainly develops his idea by ________.

(4). The creative thinking process for Newton follows the order of ________.

a. He caught the right moment. b. He did experiments over and over.

c. He saw an apple fall from a tree. d. He studied mathematics for long.

①Since the first man looked up at the flying birds, countless successes have been achieved on the way up to the sky. From the stones thrown into the air to airships of all kinds, pioneers of humans never failed to let their imagination run wild.

②Stories of pioneers go back to centuries ago.

③Kite flying in China dates back to the 5th century BC and is thought to be the earliest example of man-made flight.

④From the 3rd century BC, the sky lantern (灯笼) was known in China. Many people believe that it was invented by Zhuge Liang in the war. Some say he wrote a message on a sky lantern for help, while others believe sky lanterns were used to drive the enemies away.

⑤Whichever is true, humans have never stopped, and they never will. In modem times, new fields are being explored (探索).

⑥In 1993, the world’s largest hot air airship was built. The AS-300 carried an underslung raft (悬挂式木筏). It allowed a team of French scientists to carry out their treetop researches without too much harm to the rain forest.

⑦On May 15, 2022, Chinese scientists sent up the latest model of “Jimu No.1”, China’s self-developed airship, to collect weather information on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

⑧The airship would work at a world-record altitude (海拔) of 9,032 meters. It was the first time an airship of its size had reached this height, even higher than that of the 8,849-meter-tall Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world.

(1). According to the passage, we learn ________.

(2). Both the AS-300 and the latest model of “Jimu No.1” are airships which ________.
