Wolf Warrior2, a movie that made box office history in China last summer, tells the story of how the Chinese government successfully rescues(营救) overseas Chinese citizens in Africa.
At the end of the film, there are some words that stand out:“ When you
meet danger in a foreign land, do not give up! Please remember, at your back
stands a strong motherland.”
The movie sends the message that overseas Chinese will always receive timely help from China. But in the future, some headstrong(任性的)citizens
will not get this help for free, P eople’s Daily rep orted.
On March 26, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs(MFA) worked out a rule on consular protectionand assistance(领事保护与协助), the Xinhua News Agency reported.The rule says that those who insist on traveling to dangerous places without considering warnings given by the MFA will not be able to take advantage of free rescue services .
For example, the MFA recently reminded Chinese people to avoid traveling to Maldives (马尔代夫). Chinese who travel there and run into trouble may still ask for help from the Chinese Embassy(大使馆). But they will have to pay for the cost of their rescue later.
In fact, this is a common international practice, People’s Daily said. Countries like the US, UK and Canada have similar rules. According to the MFA, over 130 million Chinese mainlanders traveled overseas last year. The MFA issued(发布)over1,000 travel advisories to advise Chinese citizens of the risks they may face when traveling.
29. Why does the writer tell us some words from Wolf Warrior 2?
A. To explain what the movie is about
B. To describe the feelings after watching the movie
C. To stress that China will help every Chinese person
D. To prove how strong China is
30. The rule suggests that___________.
A. Chinese people cant travel to foreign places
B. free rescue services have come to an end
C. Chinese who travel to Maldives will run into trouble
D. people will not get free help if they don’t listen to the MFA’s warnings
31. If the rule is put into practice, we can refer(推断) that___________.
A. China will be the first country in the world to do so
B. people may think twice about traveling to dangerous places
C. the number of people who can travel overseas will be less than 130 million
D. only rich people will be able to afford to travel overseas

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband unexpectedly died of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her thoughts with a classroom of students.
As the late afternoon sunlight came in through the classroom windows and the class was
nearly over, she moved a few things aside on her desk and sat down there.With a gentle look of reflection (沉思) on her face, she said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought that has nothing to do with our class today, but I think it is very important．Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love and enjoy. None of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment.”
Her eyes beginning to water, she went on：“So I would like you all to make me a promise．From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see, it could be a scent--perhaps of newly baked (烤) bread coming out of someone’s kitc hen, or it could be the sound of the soft wind slightly touching the leaves in the trees...”
The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and went out of the room one by one silently. That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had in a whole term….
Take notice of something special on your lunch hour today. Go barefoot (赤脚) or walk on the beach at sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didn’t do.

根据短文内容及所给首字母写出所缺单词，并将完整单词写在答题卷对应题号的横线上。

In the morning, you are woken up by the singing of
birds outside. At night, you fall asleep while l 46 to
beautiful music. You can enjoy all of these things because of
one important organ(器官)－the ears. March 3 is Ear Care
Day. It helps us remember the i 47 of our ears and
encourages us to take good care of them. You may wonder: how do the ears w 48 ? The ear has three different parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. The outer ear is the part you can see. It collects s 49 around you. The sound then travels down to the middle ear, the inner ear and then to your brain.
Your ears never stop working, even w 50 you are asleep! That's why you may sometimes wake up suddenly in the middle of the night－your brain h 51 something, but you don't know what it was, since you were asleep.
But ears do more than hear. They help you k 52 your balance, too. In the inner ear, there are organs that are filled with liquid(液体)and covered in small hairs. When you move your head, the liquid and hairs move, too. They send m 53 to your brain about the position of your head.
More surprisingly, ears even help with eating food. If something happens to your ears, you may have a d 54 time telling different tastes, according to the website of People's Daily.
The ears are s 55 important organs. Everyone should make sure to protect their own ears as well as they can.

In recent years, a number of Chinese technological inventions have been making waves around the world. Among them four stand out. They are known as "four new great inventions " of modern China. They have made our daily lives more convenient.
High-speed trains
China created its first high-speed railway line in 2008. Since then, the number of passenger trips has grown by more than 30 percent every year. By 2016, China’s high-speed railway technology is also being used abroad. In 2014, China finished building its first overseas
high-speed railway in Turkey. In June 2015, China and Russia signed deals to build 770 km of high-speed train tracks to connect Moscow and Kasan.
Mobile payment
Mobile payment is turning China into a cashless（无现金）society led by third-party payment
companies like Alipay. For example, instead of paying by cash, customers now pay for goods
directly by typing a short password into the Alipay app on their mobile devices. Users can also pay their bills through Alipay, such as their water and electricity bills.
Shared bikes
Shared bike services started in Western countries, but China has surprised the world with how quickly it has invented and used dockless（无桩的）shared bikes. Unlike traditional bike-sharing ways, dockless bikes allow users to simply pick up or park a bike on the street through GPS and smartphone apps.
Online shopping
With around 751 million internet users, China has long been the world's largest and fastest growing online shopping market. Thanks to lowe r costs and fewer licensing requirement, it’s easier for sellers to open an online shop in China than a brick-and-mortar shop(实体店). It also helped to make more people find jobs in country areas. In 2016, online shopping created more
