Navy shows its strength
Last Thursday the People's Liberation Army Navy (海军) celebrated its 60th birthday. There was a fleet parade (舰艇检阅) in Qingdao. Twenty-one naval ships from 14 countries took part in the celebration. The Chinese naval ships and weapons are all the work of Chinese engineers. Some of them are new. Others have already served for some time. Most of them were from the Beihai Fleet, with a few from the Donghai Fleet and Nanhai Fleet.
China also displayed its nuclear powered submarines (核动力潜艇) for the first time. A nuclear submarine can carry enough fuel(燃料) for it to operate(运行) for up to 30 years. It carries advanced weapons(武器) and can stay underwater for 60 to 90 days. These abilities make the nuclear submarine one of the most useful of warships.
The People's Liberation Army Navy was founded on April 23, 1949. However, for a long time, the navy has remained low-key(低调的). They have been involved in few international naval affairs (海事事件).
This clearly does not match China's growing power. China has a long coastline(海岸线), many islands and large territorial waters(领海), so it is important to develop a strong naval force. The naval parade showed China's confidence about the future of its navy.
"The ocean is home to the navies of the world. It is the responsibility of every navy to protect it," Chinese navy commander Wu Shengli said at the opening ceremony (开幕式).

When I was young, I was very naughty. And I often made some trouble. Some people didn't like me, but I didn't know the reason until my grandfather took me to the fishpond(养鱼塘) on the farm. He asked me to throw a stone into the water. I did what I was asked. Then my grandfather told me to watch the waves made by the stone. Moments later, he asked me to think of myself as that stone.
"You may make a lot of splashes(浪花) in your life, but remember the waves that come from those splashes will affect the peace of all your friends beside you," he said. "Remember that you are responsible for what you throw into your circle. and that your waves will touch many other circles. Always try to live in a way that allows the good that come from your circle to send the peace of your goodness to other circles. Remember the waves that come from anger and jealousy(嫉妒) will send those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for all the waves." That was the first time I realized each person creates the inner peace or anger that flows out into the world. We cannot create world peace if we have hatred and anger.
We show the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we tell them or not. Whatever is inside of us is flowing out into the world and touching all the other circles of life. We must remember that we aren't single, so we must be responsible for everyone beside us.
31. The writer's grandfather asked him to .
A. stop the waves
B. see himself as the wave

C. go out
D. bring out

A. wise
B. old
C. strict
D. funny
35. This passage mainly tells us that .
A. we are the stones
B. we can make some splashes
C. people can affect each other in our life

Whether you are teaching an elementary Spanish class or passing on Spanish to your children, it is important to teach children good manners. And there are culturally appropriate(恰当的) behaviors that children need to know.
These five behaviors are considered good manners throughout Latin America. Of course, these are good manners in the US too, but they are not given as much attention because the opposite behavior is not considered particularly rude. In Spanish-speaking countries, however, the opposite behavior is negative(负面的) and can change the impression people have of children (and adults!).
All of these good manners can be practiced by children with different language level.
Good manners to teach kids learning Spanish.
● When you hand something to someone, put it directly into her hand. Do not toss things at people.
● Keep your feet on the floor. Do not put your feet on chairs.
● When you mov e away from a group of people or leave a room, say con permiso. Do not just walk away.
● If someone sneezes, say salud, which means "take care" in English.
● When you arrive, greet everyone. When you leave, say goodbye to everyone.
There are lots of resources(资源) for teaching children good manners in Spanish. Many polite behaviors also involve language. Here you will find resources for teaching polite expressions, including books and a song. There are also YouTube videos that teach polite behaviors.
In my experience, kids are interested in what is considered polite behavior in different cultures, and they want to learn to act appropriately. We work hard teaching them to use Spanish. It is important that they also know how to interact(相互影响) so that others are comfortable and they can make the most of the language they have learned.
36. The passage is written for .
A. children with different language levels
B. teachers who are teaching in the Spanish class
C. parents who care about their children's manners
D. travelers who will go abroad on holiday
37. The underlined word "toss" in the passage can be replaced by " ".
A. buy
B. make
C. throw
D. send
38. According to the passage, which is considered an appropriate behavior?
A. Jim keeps his feet on his friend's chair.
B. Jim leaves his classmate's party without saying anything.
C. Jim sneezes, and his friend gets angry with him.
D. Jim comes in and says good morning to his classmates.
39. Which is NOT one of the resources for teaching children good manners in Spanish?
A. A language book.
B. A song.
C. A birthday gift.
D. A YouTube video.
40. The best title of the passage can be .
A. Good Manners for Spanish Learners
B. Some Ways of Teaching Children Spanish
C. How to Interact with Each Other
D. The History of Spanish Language

八、阅读与表达(问答式)
Today, an increasing number of people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. These people are called the "Heads-down Tribe". Are you a heads-down tribe member? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.
More and more traffic accidents are happening because more drivers use mobile phones when they are driving. In order to make drivers pay more attention to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. For example, heads-down tribe members who use mobile phones while driving in Taiwan are fined. Car drivers and motorcyclists(骑摩托车的人) who break the traffic rule will be fined NT$3,000 and NT$1,000 respectively.
As we can see above, using mobile phones may cause accidents and even cost a lot of money. Besides, more and more interesting and strange facts happen to the "Heads-down Tribe". Let's have a look at an interesting TV report. A man in America kept using his mobile phone on his way home. As a result, he bumped into (撞上) a big lost bear. When he lifted his eyes from the phone, he was so scared that he turned around and ran away as quickly as possible.
Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile phones. It's strange that they don' t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone.。
