Have you ever read Little Women by US writer Louisa May Alcott? The classic has been changed into plays, films and television programs many times because of its popularity since it came out in 1868. It tells a story of a mother raising her four daughters, while their dad is away fighting a war. Meg, the eldest, wants to live a better life very much. Jo, the second-born, wants nothing more than to be a writer. Beth is a sweet girl who loves music and always brings joy to others. The youngest daughter, Amy, dreams of being an artist. After reading Little Women, I have a feeling of warmth and kindness from the family.
In the following scene, the girls talk about what they can buy with the very little money they have. They feel hopeful about the future even though their dreams may not come true.
|
“I can’t expect anything from Mother or you. I know I only have one dollar with me. Although it isn’t that much, it works. I can at least buy the book Undine and Sintran for myself. I’ve wanted it so long,” said Jo. “I planned to spend mine on new music,” said Beth. “I shall get a nice box of drawing pencils. I really need them,” said Amy. “Mother didn’t say anything about our money, but she does wish us to get something. Let’s each buy what we need. I’m sure we work hard enough to make it,” cried Jo. |

Can you imagine what the human body in the future will be like? Our class had a discussion about it. Tiantian, an AI（artificial intelligence人工智能）robot, also joined us. Here are our guesses.
（1） Humans are now ten centimeters（厘米）taller than 150 years ago. So, in the future, people will probably be even taller. Why? Because most of us today have much better food than those in the past.
You must say that people will be stronger according to the first guess. （2） With the development of science and technology, we won’t have much physical work to do. If people get used to this kind of lifestyle, we will probably lose most of our muscles（肌肉）.
Next, let’s come to our hands and feet. We are already using our feet less, and our hands more. （3） At the same time, our fingers and our eyes will both get better because they’ll have to do more work together.
Here comes the most interesting one—it’s very possible that people will have four toes（脚趾）, not five. The little toe really isn’t needed anymore. （4） Let’s wait and see.
Last but not least—people won’t have as much hair on their bodies as now, since we don’t need it to keep ourselves warm.
What do you think of our guesses? （5） With the rise of AI, will we lose the ability of thinking independently?

The world’s best sportsmen get together for the Olympic Games every four years. The 2024 Olympic Games will take place in Paris, France. For the first time, people will watch breaking（霹雳舞）as a new event at the Olympics.
Breaking is also called break dancing. The high-energy, skillful dance includes moves such as Top Rock, Footwork, Go Down, Freeze and so on. The dancers need to think and show the moves of the hands and feet quickly.
Break dance battles（斗舞）are a common way to find out who is the best dancer. In the 1970s in New York City, fighting with others among young people became more and more serious. Some of them began to deal with the problem through dance instead. Just then, the dance style first showed up on the streets. Today people still “battle” in this way. One dancer will show off his moves, and then the next will continue to compete... The best dancer will be picked out finally.
Why does breaking become an Olympic event? If a sport is added to the Olympics, it must be widely practiced by men in at least 75 countries on four continents（洲）and by women in no fewer than 40 countries on three continents. Breaking meets this standard. Also, the planners’ goal is to make the Olympics more interesting to young people.
“Breaking has been accepted as a sport. I really feel proud,” said Xiaoyu, one breakdancer. “And for the Olympics, it will get more attention from young people who may not follow some of the traditional sports.”
根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）。
（1）Footwork is one of the moves of breaking.
（2）Breaking first showed up on the streets in Paris in the 1970s.
（3）To be an Olympic event, a sport must be practiced by women in 75 countries.
（4）Xiaoyu really feels proud that breaking has been accepted as a sport.
（5）The writer mainly introduces the history of the Olympics in the passage.
①Is the summer vacation long enough to turn life for the better? Every person has his own talents and interests. Find something you care about, and you will see the difference.
②Organize a clean-up program. People often throw litter in the place where there is already litter. This leaves the community in a mess. The environment will become better if someone volunteers to help. You could pick up the rubbish with your friends once a week in your neighborhood. You could also help take care of the plants every few days. Surely, a clean and tidy neighborhood will be worth the work.
③Show your love to the old. Our city has some old people’s homes. Without children around them, the old people there might feel lonely once in a while. Maybe they need your help. In fact, you can do a lot for them. For example, you can talk with them or play games with them. Listening to them carefully is also a good idea. Some old people can’t see clearly and they would like you to read to them. No matter what small things you do, you can make them feel loved.
④Set up a reading project with your friends. Share your favorite books with them. Besides, you may read aloud to each other and talk about what you read. Either a book or an article can spark a lively discussion and your further thinking. The process often challenges more people to take action. The project is also a good way to welcome newcomers. At the same time, you may find new friends with similar hobbies.
⑤A two-month summer vacation isn’t that long, but it’s enough to make a difference.
