Moreno, Stanley, and 23 other students from Westfield State College were on vacation in Acapulco, Mexico. This was the last night in the hotel. It was 4 am, Moreno and Stanley came back from a party.
Just as Stanley went to sleep, he heard loud noise outside. From the balcony (阳台) of their fourth-floor room, Moreno and Stanley saw black smoke out of one window and heard people shouting.
Moreno ran out into the corridor and began knocking on doors and shouting, "Fire!" After that, he went upstairs in a hurry to tell other people. At the same time, Stanley was downstairs helping people get through the smoke-filled room. There he joined forces with Nalewanski, a 21-year-old boy who had a room on the second floor.
"Let's go," Nalewanski said. He and Stanley wet their shirts in the bathroom and put them around their mouths and noses so they could breathe. Then they ran up the stairs. On the fourth floor they found Moreno feeling terrible (Moreno had made it up to the eighth floor before turning back). But after making sure he could get back down on his own, they continued upstairs, knocking on the doors on every floor.
In the end, no one was seriously hurt. Moreno said, "There were hundreds of people in the hotel. It was our duty to help them." students from Westfield State College were on vacation in Acapulco, Mexico.

Paper cutting or tearing is a cultural tradition in China. For centuries, it has been passed down from one generation（一代人） to the next, especially from mothers to daughters. This beautiful art created by skillful artists is used to decorate（装饰） doors, ceilings, and beds in people’s homes, or at celebrations such as birthdays and weddings. At Chinese New Year, window flowers are glued to windows, creating beautiful patterns of light and shadow.
The two main techniques（技艺） used are cutting the paper using a knife or scissors, or tearing it by hand. If the paper is cut, the edges（边缘） are very smooth. Paper cutting can produce very fine and delicate work. This type of work is typical of southern China. If the paper is torn by hand, the edges are more simple and natural. Tearing is used more in northeast China. In addition, different parts of China have their own motifs or pictures. These motifs can express many stories, ideas and emotions.
It can be hard to hold on to traditions like these because young people don’t know much about traditional art. Often they prefer spending their time on newer pastimes. The experts are getting older. If young people don’t learn the traditions, they won’t be able to pass them down to their own children. But recently there is a change. There are more exhibitions of traditional art. Artists are going into schools to teach children how to do paper cutting. Children enjoy working together with artists and talking to them about the meaning of their art. In this way, they are becoming proud of their culture and traditions.

Choose the best answer according to the passage you read.
In August, 2021, some new rules came out to restrict（限制） young people’s online game time. People under the age of 18 can only play online games three hours a week. Online game providers can offer only one-hour service to young people from 8 p. m. to 9 p. m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. They are very popular with teachers and parents.
Zhang Zhe, a high school teacher in Nanjing, thinks online games influence students’ studies a lot. At home, parents often find it hard to stop their children from playing them. What’s worse, students might have no interest in developing friendship. “Students who become seriously addicted（上瘾的） to online games often find all kinds of excuses to play them. They also spend little on food or clothes to save their money for online games. So I think it is really necessary for the government to take action.” said Wu Li, a teacher in Wuhan.
Mrs Wang, a mother of a high school student in Shanghai, used to have difficulty keeping her son away from online games, so she felt really glad when the new rules came out. “Whenever I tried to stop him, he got really angry. For several months, he even refused to talk to me.” said Mrs Wang.
Thanks to the rules, students can have more time to take up new hobbies. To make sure that students develop healthier lifestyle（生活方式）, schools, teachers and parents need to work closely to help young students find proper hobbies, and hold different after-school activities for them.

Choose the best answer according to the passage you read.
With the winter vacation coming, I realized I needed to find a part-time job, because I didn’t want to ask my parents for money. I had imagined having a job at a winter camp where I could play games with children. In fact, the only job I could find was cleaning up tables at a local convenience store.
At first, I wanted to give up the job because getting up too early in the morning made me unhappy. I’ll never forget how tired I felt on my first day, but I’ll never forget sitting together and talking about our days with my workmates for the first time either. Suddenly, I felt good to be a member of them.
After working at the convenience store for almost one year, I was used to getting up so early, because I knew there would be a few good moments every day there.
Working at the convenience store, I’ve learned to grow into a boy that can depend on myself and get along well with others. And I’m not the shy person that I used to be. Meeting an impolite customer might make me feel bad, but very soon I could deal with it without difficulty.

On a snowy day, there was a man walking in a hurry on the road. His clothes were in poor condition. You might think he was a beggar（乞丐）, but in fact he was a painter. His name was Vincent Willem van Gogh. With a painting he had just finished, the poor Vincent went into a painting store.
“Can you buy this painting to help me pay the rent（租金）?”
“I don’t really like your painting, but it is said that you are gifted（有天赋的） and I want to help you. Here is five francs（法郎）.”
Although it was only five francs, Vincent was very happy.
