In recent years,red tourism(旅游业)has developed quickly and is expected to become more and more popular as the nation celebrates the 100th anniversary(周年纪念日)of the Communist Party of China(CPC)(中国共产党).And people's hopes of learning and experiencing revolutionary(革命的)history and culture have become stronger.
From 2004 to 2019,national red tourism resources(资源)continued to increase and tourists visited an increasing number of revolutionary cultural relics(文物).The number of such trips made by people increased from 140 million to 1.4 billion(十亿)over the same period and more and more people go to these red tourism areas,such as Yan'an in Shaanxi Province.
In Pingshan,Hebei Province,where Xibaipo is located(位于),people have depended on red tourism to develop farmhouses,gardens and tourist shops.This has helped to provide jobs for more than 80,000 local people.
Red tourism has not only met people's travel needs but also their strong wishes for knowledge on revolutionary traditions.This has led to the economic(经济上的)development of old revolutionary areas.As the 100th anniversary of the CPC is coming,the Ministry(部)of Culture and Tourism will further develop red tourism and provide people with better products and services based on Party history education.Protection of revolutionary relics will also become stronger.

What do you see when you look at abstract(抽象) art?Does it make sense to you?Does it look like anything?Is it supposed to?
Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century.Artists did not want to paint,draw,or sculpt things exactly(确切地) like they looked.They didn't want their art to be realistic.They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.
Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists.He painted and drew in many,many styles.Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours(his"blue period").Later,he used more red and pink colours (his"rose period").Many of his other paintings are called"cubist(立体画派)"because they are made of painted squares.
After a long time,Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract.He painted people and things using strange shapes.His work was so original; many of his fellow artists didn't understand it.
Kandinsky,another famous artist,used lines,shapes,and patterns to paint his subjects.His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings.
Other artists like the surrealists(超现实主义者),were interested in subconscious(潜意识).Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbol in their work.The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear.Dali,another surrealist artist,painted pictures that look like dreams.
There are still many abstract artists around the world.That's the way many artists prefer.They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.

Mrs.Jones was over eighty,but she still drove her old car like a young woman.She loved driving very fast,and she said that she had never been punished for a driving offence(违章).
Then one day,she nearly lost her record.A police car followed her,and the policeman in it saw her pass a red light without stopping.
When Mrs.Jones came before the policeman,he looked at her seriously and said that she was too old to drive a car,and that her eyes had probably become weak with old age,so she had not stopped at the red light.
After the policeman finished his words.Mrs.Jones,without saying a word,opened the big handbag she was carrying and took out her sawing (针线活).She chose a needle(针)with a very small eye,and threaded(穿线)it at her first try.
When she had successfully done this,she took the thread out of the needle again and handed tooth the needle and the thread to the policeman,saying."Now it is your turn.You drive a car and you must see clearly."

You know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10years?Your car will change even more than that in the next 10years.One of the biggest changes is that cars will drive themselves.
"We certainly have the technology for it now."says Andrew Poliak of automotive(机动车辆的)technology supplier QNX."We expect self﹣driving cars to be a mainstream thing between 2020and 2025."
The American company Google has been working on self﹣driving cars for years.These cars are already on the roads in the United States and are truly self﹣driving.They have to steering wheels(方向盘)or pedals(踏板).Last week,the police ordered one of Google's cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road.The car was not breaking any law,so no one was punished.
Another American company,Tesla,added an"Autopilot"feature to its cars last month.With the Autopilot turned on,the vehicle drives itself.The car will speed up,slow down,brake and drive by itself.You can take over driving any time by turning the steering wheel or touching a pedal.The car uses sensors(感应器)to know when driveway changing is safe and whether it should speed up or slow down.
Tesla Autopilot is made for cross﹣country driving.It keeps you in the driveway and helps you avoid hitting other cars.It does not work well on local roads,for it will not stop at a red light or stop sign.
Reporter Carolyn Nicander Mohr tried the Autopilot feature of a Tesla earlier this month.She had a hard time trusting the car to do what it should do.She thought about disabling the Autopilot feature many times during her trip.She wanted to take control at every bend in the road and hit the brake when the car in front of her slowed down.Yet the car drove perfectly.
Other companies are working on self﹣driving cars,too.Marcedes﹣Benz,Audi,BMW.Volvo and Toyota all have plans for such vehicles.

The government in China plans to end its one﹣child policy (政策) and let families have two children instead.The plan was meant to balance (平衡) population development and stop a falling birth rate (出生率).
China started the one﹣child policy in the 1980s.But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children.For example,some families in the countryside could have two children,if the first﹣born child is a girl.In 2013,the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child.
Jiang Quanbao,a population expert,explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy."Lots of young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child,"he said.
At the end of 2014,China had a population of 1.37billion people.But the labor market population will drop in 35years.That is to say,the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050.With the"two children"policy,an increase in births can solve this problem.
66.Why does the government plan to end the one﹣child policy?
A.Because we need a larger population.
B.Because millions of people have jobs.
C.Because most families want to have a second child.
D.Because a falling birth rate must be stopped.
67.How do most young people in the cities react to the"two children"policy?
A.They support the policy.B.They don't think it is good.
C.They're very interested.D.They're not interested.
68.When will our country be seriously short of labor if the one﹣child policy continues?
A.In 2025.B.In 2035.C.In 2050.D.In 2070.
69.What's the correct time order of the following events?
①.The"two children"policy was announced.
②.China had a population of 1.37billion people.
③.Some families in the countryside could have two children.
④.Families could have two children if one parent was an only child.
A.③④②①B.②①④③C.④③②①D.③①④②

Roberta,Peter and Phyllis lived in a large house in London.Father worked hard in a government office.He was never angry and always ready for a game.Mother was almost at home,ready to play with the children,and read to them,and help them do their home﹣lessons.
These three lucky children always had everything they needed:pretty clothes,good fires,a lovely playroom and a dog called James.They had a happy life,but they did not know how happy till the pretty life in the large house was over.
Peter had a toy engine and it broke.After dinner,Peter showed Father the engine.Father looked it over and promised to do it on Saturday.
At that moment two men came to see Father.Minutes passed.Father's voice came out from the study,loud and angry.
More time passed.Then Mother came in and said, "Father's been called away﹣on business."
A week after their father went away,their mother said, "Now,we're going to move to the country.A pretty little white house,called Three Chimneys. "
The family started packing:clothes,plates,candles and also tables and chairs. "We seem to be taking all the ugly things," said Roberta.
"We're taking the useful ones," said Mother. "We've got to play at being poor for a bit."
Peter said joyously, "I do like moving!I wish we moved once a month." Mother laughed and said, "I don't like moving!"
As she turned away,Roberta saw her face.She never forgot it.
"Oh,Mother," she whispered, "how I love you!You are brave enough to laugh when you're feeling like that! "
Then they took a train to Three Chimneys.No one knew how long they had been in the train when Mother woke them up.
They stood in the cold night air on the dark platform. At that moment they didn't know how important the station and the trains would become to them.They didn't know they were going to be the railway children .

Let me tell you about a young boy who made a model car all on his own.The boy is me,six years ago when I was just 11.The car was small and simple,but in my imagination it was a high﹣speed racing car,speeding along the race road.
It was during the school summer holidays and workmen were building a new driveway and garage(车库) beside our house.It meant to add something new to our home.When I watched the workman,I came up with an idea﹣﹣﹣I would build a car to drive into the garage in celebration of it.I told my mother and began with my plans.But I couldn't find the right things for making the car,so I gave up and sadly spent several days doing nothing.My mother noticed that I had stopped working and asked me why.I explained and she suggested that maybe I should change my plan to fit the things I had,rather than give up.
And that's just what I did.I found small pieces of wood in my father's workshop and made my car from anything that was lying around the house.When I found a small engine(发动机) from one of my old model planes,I added that.The power came from a battery(电池) I found in a box.
By the time the garage was finished,so was my car.I called my family together outside the house,started the engine and put the car on the driveway.It was fast,and I had to run to the garage to prevent it from hitting the new door.My family began to cheer and I smiled proudly.Thanks to my mother I learned the value of continuing to do things,especially something difficult.Soon I was making plans for my next project:a robot!
