A
I believe in the power of holding on. What do I mean by holding on? Hugging, or holding on, is the power we possess when we put our arms around someone. It can change relationships, maes a patient a person, an acquaintance a friend.
My grandmother taught me about holding on, whenever she gathered me in her strong, loving Irish arms. She always hugged even when her bac became curved .My mother hugs my children the same way—heart open and arms wide, breathing them into her soul.
Once I became aware of its power, I started eperimenting I held my mother-in-law a moment too long then moved onto my sisters-in-law, aunts, nieces, nephews, and cousins. I tried it with a friend who had made my life rich with laughter, but I was too embarrassed to tell her, and acquaintances that I wanted to be friends with. Some were bothered, others accepting, but all had one thing in common—the net time I hugged them, they hugged me bac.
For me, holding on has become more than a physical interaction; it has become a way of thining. My answer to life’s dilemmas and tough choices, it’s a miture of acceptance, forgiveness, and patience—not always easy or understood but it guides me to be quiet and listen, loo for the good, have a sense of humor and laugh, stop worrying and be patient because if I let it, something will change.
I’ve often wondered how different my life would have been if I hadn’t learned the power of holding on. If during that time in my life, when I was crumbling into myself, my mother had stopped holding on to me, I might have missed something so vital to my eistence. I believe that a hug is lie a battery charger—a good one can eep me going for a long time.

The Boy Made It!
One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went siing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he new it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.

“The Internet of Things is going to be big because in the past, machines drin electricity,” Mr. Ma told investors. “In the net 20 years, machines will drin data. In the future, no company, no country, no business can survive without data.”

Most nations have at least one type of food that people from other countries thin is unusual or unethical（不道德的）to eat. In France, people eat horse meat and frog legs. In South orea and parts of China, restaurants serve dog meat. And in Australia, it’s commo n to coo angaroo meat on the barbecue and use emu（鸸鹋）eggs to mae pancaes.
The angaroo and emu are native to Australia. Both animals are important to the national image of Australia and appear on the Australian coat of arms. They’re also central figures in the history of the indigenous（土生土长的）Australian Aboriginals（土著人）. However, Aboriginal tribes still hunt these animals for their meat, fur and fat.
Today, Australian people continue to eat these animals. One of the reasons people eat angaroo meat is that it’s high in protein and low in fat, so eating angaroo is a good option for anyone on a diet. It’s also cheaper to eat angaroo meat than other red meats. Because of this, a lot of university students choose to buy angaroo meat. BBC News also reported that Australian scientists believe that eating angaroo meat is good for the environment--angaroos have different digestive systems than cows and sheep, meaning they produce less methane（甲烷），the second biggest contributor to global warming.
While emu me at is high in iron and vitamin C, most people don’t thin it tastes good. For this reason, they prefer emu eggs. One egg is large enough to mae seven omelettes（煎蛋）. And while it’s illegal to collect emu eggs from the wild, they can be bought from emu farms. Rather than cracing the beautiful dar shell, it’s better to drain it by putting a small hole at each end and blowing. Afterwards, you can even carve a design into the eggshell.
13. The author mentioned the meat-eating customs of different countries at the beginning of the article to __________.
A. present different cultures’ meat-eating preferences
B. introduce the consumption of angaroo meat and emu eggs in Australia
C. suggest that people try to understand other countries’ diets
D. compare different eating habits among different countries
14. According to the article, the angaroo __________.
A. is not considered precious in Australia
B. contains large amounts of iron and vitamins in its meat
C. faces etinction due to hunting by Aboriginal tribes
D. is considered healthy and environmentally friendly to eat
15. Which of the following statements is TRUE about emu eggs?
A. Emu eggs taste terrible but are nutritious.
B. The shells of emu eggs are not difficult to brea.
C. Emu egg shells can be used to create art.
D. It’s common for Australians to collect emu eggs from the wild.

● Wash your hands frequently. You don't want to mae it worse by spreading the flu to everyone else.

范文：
Nowadays, the hay weather frequently appears in our hometown. It has not only done harm to people’s health, but also affected the public transportation.
Obviously,, air pollution is the main factor that has resulted in the frequency of hay weather. At the same time, smoe from burning straw and all inds of poisonous gas from local chemical factories are also important factors. Besides, ehaust emission from .vehicles has made the situation even worse.
Therefore, proper measures should be adopted to deal with the serious problem. To students, opportunities for outdoor sports activities should be decreased. Washing faces and hands with running water after each outing is also important, and do not forget to wear a good-quality mas to protect yourself while going out.
I hope we will regain a fresh, clean and bright world soon.。
