Sometimes she taught us herself , but we also had other teachers . They asked us to take lessons every day . About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park .

They are animals that live in the south of the Yangtze River in China . They have hard skin . They are also known as scaly anteaters (食蚊兽) and help to protect trees in the forest . They are Chinese pangolins (中华穿山甲)
But they are endangered now . Experts said that Chinese pangolins are functionally dying out (功能性绝), The Beijing News reported . This means they cannot find a match and give birth in the wild . They can no longer play an important role in the environment .
According to a national wildlife survey , there were some 60,000 Chinese pangolins in different places , including Yunnan and Zhejiang , in the 1990s. Since then , this number has dropped by 90 percent mainly because of several reasons . First , lots of people still take the risk of breaking the law to kill them for a high price in the
black market . Also , others catch these animals and move them to neighboring countries where selling is easier . Not to mention habitat (栖息地) loss .
China is now thinking about upgrading (升级) its pangolin protection efforts to the highest level , Xinhua reported . By doing this , the government would protect them at the same level as giant pandas . This means people would only be able to sel or use pangolin products in certain situations , such as for scientific research . They would also need permission from the government if they plan to do so .
Why people kill pangolins :
Poachers kill Chinese pangolins for their scales and meat . People use their scales in traditional Chinese medicine . Their meat is high in nutritional value , China Daily reported . In addition , Chinese pangolins are facing a loss of their habitat because of pollution and deforestation .
71.Paragraph l is written to____________.

B .3 C. 4

A . Set them free in the wild .
B . Take stronger measures to improve protection .
C . Move them to the same area where pandas live .
75. Which of the following is True ?
A . We can still see some living Chinese pangolins .
B . We can infer that Chinese movement used to pay as much attention to pangolins as pandas .
C . Pangolins are killed mainly because people want to farm on their habitat .

I was blind , and I used to feel really uncomfortable if it 1 by others . I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help . After all , I was a teenage girl , and I couldn’t stand people looking at me and thinking I was not like them . I must have been a terrible 2 on the roads . Coming across me walking through traffic , drivers probably would have to make a sudden stop while driving . Apart from that , there were all types of disasters (灾难) that used to happen on the way to and from work .
One evening , I got off the bus about half way home where I had to change buses , and as usual I ran into something ,“ I ’ m terribly sorry ,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again . When it happened a 3 time , I realized I had been saying sorry to a lamppost (路灯杆). This was just one of the stupid things that usually happened to me . So I carried on and found the bus stop , which was a request stop , where the bus 4 to stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off . No one else was there and I had to try 5 if the bus had arrived .
6 in this situation , because I hated to show I was blind by asking for help , I would try to listen to the sound . Sometimes I would stop a wrong bus or even a big truck (卡车) and stand there feeling stupid as it drove away . In the end , I usually had to give up my

But on this evening no one 8 me at the stop . It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus . Of course I heard plenty of buses pass , or I thought I did . But for 9 making a fool of myself , I let them go by . Finally , I had to walk on for another 30 minutes to the next stop .
From then on , I don’t care so much about what others think of me . Compared with such a 10 evening , asking for help with a friendly smile is no big deal .

Culture shock means the worries and feelings ( of surprise , uncertainty , etc.) felt when people have to study Sichuan Opera is one of the many local operas in China . 1 And one cannot talk about Sichuan Opera without mentioning face changing . It’s known as one of the most amazing shows of Sichuan Opera .
Don’t try to get the meaning of face changing . 2 The performers change the masks (面具)quickly in order to show different feelings of the characters in the play .
Face changing performers prepare many masks . 3 Each design shows a different personality , and each color tells a different character . After the painting is finished , the masks are put together by a special thread (线). And then they are put on the face before the performance begins . The special masks for “changing faces ” must be made to fit the performer ’ s face so that they can be put as close as possible to the skin . 4 Today they can be reused with some small repairs .
How did face - changing come ? It is said that in ancient times people painted their faces with different looks to drive away wild animals and keep them safe . 5 Nowadays the show has made its Way into teahouse and restaurants in Sichuan , drawing visitors from all over the world .

When I first started using Chinese websites , I had some difficulty understanding their design (设计). Popular sites like Taobao and Jingdong are very " busy "- they are covered in plenty of links (链接) and flashing ads . They often include all kinds of bright colors as well . But if we take a look at most western websites , they usually have the simpler colors .
So why are Chinese websites designed this way ? Some say that Chinese web design hasn’t “caught up ”to standard (标准) Western web design practices . But I don’t think this quite explains it . Some Chinese sites , such as Baidu , are quite clean-looking .
A more possible explanation has to do with the Chinese language . There are no large letters or spaces in Chinese writing . That might make foreigners who are used to see these things in their letter writing think that Chinese text looks very crowded .
Another thing that makes Chinese websites look so busy is the large number of links . Some sites might have hundreds of links on their front page . Again , there is a language-related explanation . It is difficult to type Chinese on a Roman alphabet-based keyboard . You have to type out each character using pinyin , which can be inconvenient . So it’s easier just to click the link you want , instead of typing what you’re looking for .
Or perhaps it could just be that sometimes people prefer flashy and busy websites . Looking through Jindong is like stepping into a noisy , brightly-lit real-life street market . So in this way , Chinese Internet users might feel livelier when using these sites .
I wonder whether the Chinese web design has brought more Internet users who show more interest in their websites . As we know , after all , China is the leading country of the economic development online .

五、书面表达Dear Lucy ,
I ’ m glad to receive your email , and now I will answer your questions about the changes in China during recent years . Today is the 70h anniversary of new China . We are celebrating its birthday happily .
Many changes have taken place in the past ten years . Firstly , in our daily life , we don ’ t have to carry wallets as used to . Because we can use our phone to pay for anything we want to buy . Secondly , more and more people drive their own cars to work than before . Besides , almost every child can receive primary education , especially in poor countryside .
As far as I know , the most important change is that our country has been one of the strongest countries with the high economic development . The main reason is that every Chinese work hard . Nowadays , we always feel proud of ourselves as Chinese . And we surely try our best to study hard to make our country better and better .Then , an increasing number of foreigners will admire us .
Best wishes and welcome to China !
Yours ,
Li Ming。
