Ma Wenhe served the prince well and soon he became one of the prince's closest advisors． （2） ． Later the prince became the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty as the Yongle Emperor． The Yongle Emperor wanted to show other countries the greatness and power of the Ming Dynasty． （3） ． He made Zheng He the leader of a fleet （舰队） and ordered him to explore （探索） the world．
On Zheng He's first trip， he traveled all the way to Calicut， India． With over 200ships and nearly 28，000men， he visited many countries along the way． His first trip lasted from 1405to1407． Zheng He and his fleet traded and made close relations at the places they visited．

Sometimes it may seem that what you are learning at school will be of no use in the future． It may seem that you're wasting your life away． But you will be surprised to find how much of what you learnt at school is helpful to you one day． Three people were asked what they found useful at school， and their thoughts are shared below．
When I used to ask my teacher how to spell something， she often said， I don't know． Then she would take out the dictionary and look it up． She was not ashamed to say that she didn't know the answer． I learnt two things． You don't have to know _______； and if you don't know how to spell something， just get the dictionary out． Both are very useful lessons!

In school， you also learn to deal with life in general． Little mistakes can seem to be very serious． Wear the wrong clothes and it seems that everyone is laughing at you． Get too close to a boy too fast and everyone talks about you． You want to go into a hole and die! But the truth is that life goes on． You might feel that what you did "wrong" will never ever be forgotten． However， if you can be brave and keep on， you will find that whatever happened will pass and you will start to enjoy life again．

We had a class called Guidance and in it we learnt about making good decisions in life． I found it pretty boring and didn't pay much attention． One day the teacher made us guess which appliance（家电）
we should buy first once we had our own homes． The answer was a fridge． I learnt that it was true once I had my own place． The first day I bought some chicken meat． By dinner time it smelled and I couldn't
even eat it! My housemate and I started saving to buy a fridge right away．

As we know，there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture． （56） ．Let's look at some words about animals and plants．Most expressions in Chinese about the dog，for example，"a homeless dog"，"a mad dog"，"A running dog"and"A dog catching a mouse"，have bad meanings． （57） ，In English，people use the dog to describe good actions．For example，"you are A lucky dog"means you are A lucky person．And"every dog has its day"means each person has good luck sometimes．To describe a person's serious illness，they say"sick as a dog"．The word"dog﹣tired"means very tired． （58） ．But in Western culture，"cat"is often used to describe a woman who is unkind．There are many other examples of how"cat"is used to describe a woman who is unkind．There are many other examples of how"cat"is used differently as well．
（59） People think the rose stands for love，peace，courage and friendship．And the rose is the national flower of England，America and many other countries．
（60） We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used．
A．However，Chinese love cats very much
B．The words about plants and animals are used in good or bad ways in different cultures
C．We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used
D．However，westerners love cats very much

F．The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some Western countries
G．But in Western countries，dogs are considered to be honest and good friends of humans．
Complain（抱怨） Politely
Not everything goes the way you want it to． You may go to a restaurant and order a nice meal． But your order is wrong or not cooked properly． You may buy a product that breaks the next day． （1） However， if you speak angrily to people， they will become defensive（自卫的）． Then they are less likely to help you． A more effective （有效的） way to get what you want is to stay calm．
Use polite language and a friendly tone of voice． Start with phrases such as， "I'm sorry to bother you， but…"or "Excuse me， but could you…？" For example， "I'm sorry to bother you， but I ordered potato soup， not vegetable．" Phrasing your complaint as a question also helps． （2） "Could you help me？ I just bought this phone case yesterday， but it's cracked．"
（3） There is no faster way to make someone defensive than by blaming them． Use the phrase， "I know this isn't your fault， but…" or "There has been a misunderstanding．" （4）_____ Blaming people isn't as important as getting a problem fixed!
There are honest mistakes， but at times someone may try to take advantage of you． In that case， don't say "Hey! You're trying to cheat me!" Instead， use the phrase， "I understood that…" For example， "I understood that the service charge was included in the price．" Then give the person a chance to answer．
If you don't get what you want with polite conversation， ask to speak to a manager or supervisor． （5）
A． When trying to correct a problem， don't blame（责备） the person you're talking to．
B． People like to be asked rather than told!
C． But usually， you'll find that polite words and a smile will resolve a situation．
D． These kinds of experiences make you want to complain．
E． These phrases let people know you are only angry at the situation．
阅读短文，根据短文内容，从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，然后完成第5题．
It is probably no exaggeration （夸张） to say that， these days， anyone who uses WeChat or QQ also uses memes． （1） Memes are usually pictures or GIFs （动图） of famous people， TV and film scenes． They are often paired with a line of words explaining the pictures．
You must have seen the memes of singer Huang Zitao with his famous words， "I will not die easily．"（2） Others include actor Zhou Jie shouting with anger and basketball player Yao Ming laughing but looking like crying． If there is something in common with these people， it is probable that they all have exaggerated facial expressions． Users make memes of them for fun．
On the other hand， memes make online messaging chatting closer to real life than just sending text messages． （3） For some people， like youth， they can chat online only using memes without typing a single word． Sometimes this turns into a kind of competition to see who has the most or the funniest memes． （4） Do you want to have a try， too？
| A． Huang's memes are one of the users' favorites． B． Memes or biaoqingbao have become important in online chatting （聊天） among Chinese． C． If they are tired of the popular ones， they can make their own memes using meme apps． D． Because they give people information in a simpler， funnier and clearer way． |

Shanghai is one of the first cities in China to see bike sharing fever． Shared bikes can now be found all over the city． （1） On streets， we can often see riders of your age． Some might even be younger than you． Unluckily， there have been some accidents involving （涉及）shared bikes． （2）
One of the most serious accidents took place in March． One Sunday afternoon， a boy was riding an ofo bike（共享单车）． He was hit by a bus and later died． The boy' s parents were not by his side． （3） He was only about 10 years old．
The good news is that Shanghai has been trying to manage bike sharing by making rules． The rules are still being discussed， but some of the rules have been decided on． （4） Users must be between 1.45 and 1.95 meters tall．
However， it could be hard to make these rules work． Ou Jing is ofo's manager in Shanghai． He said the company had banned （禁止）children under 12 from using its service． Yet， young children can still be seen riding ofo bikes． That's because many ofo bikes use manual （手动的）locks． （5） Ofo has developed electronic locks． However， it will take some time for the company to fix the new locks on all of its bikes．
Most of you are old enough to ride a shared bike． Still， please ride slowly for your own safety． When you finish using the bike， don' t forget to park and lock it properly﹣﹣for everybody's safety．
根据短文内容，从方框中选出五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容通顺完整．

On April 26，2017，a big Chinese ship caught the eyes of the whole world．China's first homemade aircraft carrier﹣（航空母舰）hit the water in Dalian，Liaoning．It is the largest and best ship China has ever built．
The new ship is China's second aircraft carrier and it has n o name yet．China's first carrier is called Liaoning，which was bought from Ukraine and later rebuilt by China．The new carrier was designed in China and building began in 2013．It is about 315 meters long and 75 meters wide．That is a bit larger than three soccer fields．The ship must be completed at sea，which will take several years．
An aircraft carrier is like an airport on the sea．It can carry planes and troops to war．Planes fly from and land back on it，and soldiers work and live on it．Thanks to carriers，planes can fight along with warships．They allow planes to take off and land from anywhere in the ocean around the world．
But an aircraft carrier is very hard and expensive to build．It costs a lot of money and needs a large amount of steel and other special materials．For example，a basic aircraft carrier is made of 60，000 tons of steel!It also uses complex（综合的）technologies，including radar，electrics，mechanics and weapons．Finally，it takes years to build．
Today，not many countries own an aircraft carrier or have the ability to build one．When the new carrier is finished，China will become the seventh country in the world that can build an aircraft carrier by itself，after the US，Russia，UK，France，Italy and Spain．

Many families go on holiday in summer， when schools are closed． （2） In the past， most British families would take their holidays at a British seaside town． However， now many people choose to go abroad instead． One reason for this is to escape（躲藏） the possibility of rain at home!

In the United States， summer holidays often involve a road trip． （3） It is common to drive hundreds of miles to get to your destination． If the beach is too far away， you could go to one of the national parks． Many people love to enjoy the natural beauty of places such as Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon．
（4） In winter， many people go skiing． The Alps are a very popular place to ski． The mountain scenery is truly wonderful! You can try downhill skiing， cross﹣country skiing or snowshoeing．

How important is music？ Many people usually think that listening to music is nice but not very important． It is often considered only as fun， but not the first choice for education． This opinion is wrong． （52）
（53） Music shows people's thinking and ideas， and the social environment it came from． just as Mozart music is a lifestyle， rock music is also a lifestyle． George Gershwin's music is another example． He introduced jazz style into his music．
（54） Science explains how the sun rises and sets． Music studies the emotive（情感的） meanings． Such as sadness and happiness． People need every possible way to learn about our world．
Music shows people's thought． It is a special language． We can "talk" to each other and exchange our thoughts， ideas and hopes． All of these can be shared with others． When we do not let our children receive a good music education， we take them away from the meaning s that music expresses． Our children are lacking in a wonderful part in their lives． （55） ．

C． Music tells us who we are．
D． In fact， music education is necessary and important for all students．

One day，the old man came up with a plan．He called his sons and said to them，"Look，my dear sons，in the land we have at the farmyard，there is lots of hidden gold．（73） ．"
In a wish to find out the gold，his sons worked hard from the morning to the evening，digging and digging all through the land．Three days had passed，（74） ．They got frustrated and angry．They decided to give up and returned to ask their father．

Recently，teenagers face many kinds of problems.Like many of them.I was once troubled with worries and dissatisfaction.Few people could understand my feelings.（1）
"The problem with your generation is that you always expect to be happy，" my mother once said.（2） Shouldn't we try hard to achieve it？
But now I have noticed a change in my thinking.I gradually realize what my mother said was correct.Over these years，many studies have shown that we are crazy about happiness and high personal confidence（3） In fact，we may often be happier when we stop focusing on happiness.
We should also reset our expectations of the future.Don't expect miracles（奇迹），and accept that no matter how hard we try，feelings of failure and unhappiness will appear from time to time.When we feel sad，it's often because we have learned something painful but important.（4） At the same time，we should learn how to deal with them better than trying to make them disappear.
（5） As my mother tried to teach me all those years ago， "Prepare for the worst，hope for the best，and be unsurprised by everything in between."
A.Neither could my parents.
B.We should keep the stress off ourselves.
C.Surely happiness was the purpose of living.
D.That may make us less satisfied with our lives.
E.Happiness arrives when we are least expecting it.
F.So it's necessary for us to accept sad feelings as part of life.
Seeing blood in a horror movie might make you cover your eyes，but real blood isn't scary at all．（1） That's why blood donors are considered lifesavers．
Blood donors are those giving blood﹣usually about 200ml at a time﹣to blood banks or blood donation（捐赠）centers．（2） For example，someone may have lost blood in accidents，or have a serious illness that requires his blood to be replaced．Hospitals and blood banks store the blood and try to keep enough on hand．
（3） Medical workers ask donors several questions to make sure the blood is safe to use．Then the donors relax，often reading a magazine or talking as their blood is drawn．Afterward，the donors may receive some juice or water and maybe fruit to give them energy．The process is simple，not scary．（4） ．
To give blood，a person must be at least 18 years old and must meet certain other requirements．Students of all ages，though，can learn more about the donation process by visiting a local blood donation center．（5） It is also an easy way to help a community．
A．Donating blood is not difficult． B．Then the blood can be used for people in need． C．In fact，blood is the gift of life and keeps us alive． D．Donating blood is not only one of the easiest ways to save lives． E．Most people are able to donate blood again in several months if they wish． |
GreenHome campaigners （发起者） really love the natural world． In fact， we love it so much that we're determined（决心） to do our best to protect it． （1） For that，we need money too． GreenHome can be strong only with the support from people like you．（2）
If the joy of walking through green forest， the excitement of climbing ancient rocks， or even the simple pleasure of watching wildlife in its own habitat（栖息地） really moves you， then share GreenHome's idea of the world． Please turn that idea into some support today．
（3） So take action right now! Even a very small amount， like ￥1 a month， will soon build up into a valuable contribution（贡献） to protecting the natural world we love so much． （4） We'll also use it to develop ways to deal with environmental problems．
Think about it another way． If you want a future where you can continue to do the things you love in the great outdoors， you need to make sure you've got a great outdoors to do them in． （5） And this way is simple enough﹣that's got to be worth ￥1 a month．
A． Giving Green Home your support is one way you can do that．
B． But determination alone will not protect the environment．
C． That's why we're asking you to join us today．
D． And we won't just use it to stop bad things．
E． Everything we do costs money．
