13、Studying abroad has become popular in China in recent years. The US. the UK. Canada and Australia are among the most popular countries for Chinese students. However, I'm to Kenya.
When I was fifteen years old, I came to Kenya and began to study at Hillcrest Secondary School, a British patterned international school. I still remember my first day at Hillcrest. Everything was different from my life in Beijing, I was quite surprised by the size of Hillcrest. And the school was full of different kinds of African plants. The lovely environment attracted（吸引) not only international students but also wildlife like monkeys However, it wasn't just about enjoying the beauty of nature. Although my English was better than that of most Chinese students at that time, learning in a completely different environment wasn't easy, I remember how upset I felt about my first lesson at Hillcrest. It was chemistry. During the whole class, I couldn't understand anything on the PPT or in the textbook.
I'm lucky enough to study in a friendly environment, but the challenges I've faced in Kenya haven't been only about schoolwork. There are many other problems. Anyway, I am sure that I can solve these problems one by one. And I will always treasure my lovely school memories for the rest of my life.

14、Once, there was a big apple tree. A little boy loved to climb to the tree top, ate the apples and played around it. With time on, the little boy grew up. He no longer played around it every day. One day, the bo y came back, sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I am no longer a kid.” The boy replied, “ I need money to buy toys.” “I don’t have money..., but you can pick all my apples and sell them.” The boy was so excited. He picked all apples and left hap pily. The boy never came back after that.
One day, the boy returned. “Come and play with me,” the tree said happily. “I have no time to play. We need a house for my family.” “You can cut off my branches.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and le ft happily. But he never came back since then.
Again, the boy returned and said. “ I want to make a navigation across the sea. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my
trunk(主干) to build your boat.” So the boy cut the trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. the only thing left is my dying roots.” the tree said with tears.
“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest.I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.
“Good! Old tree roots is the best place to rest. Come and rest with me.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.
You may think that the boy is cold to the tree but that’s how we are treating our parents. The tree is our parents. When we were young, we loved to play with them. When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.

15、China is a nation of etiquette(礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable (好客的) people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.
When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks like biscuits or candies. Someone in the family will also chat with you, never letting you feel lonely.
At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat their guests with a big meal. They always present more food than the guest can eat. On the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors, wh ich won’t happen at western tables. The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says,” It seems that you didn’t eat much. Please have more.” Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl.

To meet friends from afar,
How happy we are!

16、Geoffrey Payne talks for the first time about the night his wife was killed. The judge thought it was he who killed his wife. Now he wrote to a magazine from the prison (监狱) about what happened on the night of 13 October 33.
I had to stay late at the hospital that night to do an operation. I finally left at about 3 p. m. I drove home slowly because the weather was terrible—the wind was blowing and it was raining heavily, I was turning into our road when a man suddenly ran in front of my car. I almost hit him but I stopped just in time. I was fright-ened and the man looked frightened too. I got out of the car but he ran away before I could ask if he was all right. It was very strange.
When I got home, the lights were on but it was very quiet. I called to my wife but there was no answer. Then I remembered that she was out at a concert.
I was still very upset about what happened on the road, so I made myself a drink. Then I went upstairs to have a bath. I saw that the window in the bedroom was open. This was strange because my wife always locked the doors and windows before she went out. She was afraid of burglars. When I went to close it, I found Ellen. She was lying on the floor. There was blood everywhere. I rushed over and felt for her pulse but she was dead. I sat on the floor beside her body and was too frightened to do anything.
The next thing I knew, the sky was getting light. I can't remember a thing about that night. In the morn-ing I phoned the police. They arrived about half an hour after I phoned them. But it seemed like hours. During that time I tried hard to remember anything I could about the night before. I couldn't stop thinking about the man in the road. What was he doing at that time of night in our quiet neighbourhood? Why did he look so frightened"! Why did he run away? 1．Geoffrey Payne was a .
A．doctor B．policeman
C．judge D．taxi driver
2．After he found Ellen dead, Payne .
A．called the police at once
B．called out for help
C．tried to find out who killed his wife

3．Which of the following is NOT TRUE?

B．Payne could remember clearly what had happened.
C．The policemen arrived thirty minutes after Payne's call.
D．Payne wondered what the man was doing in his neighbourhood that night,
4．In this passage Payne tried to .

17、There are some popular family videos that are being posted on Chinese social media these days. In these videos, a young child calls out to their mother or father; the parent comes into the room smiling, turns around and calls out to their own parent; the grandparent then comes into the room smiling and calls out to their parent---the great- grandparent.
The form of these videos is being described as the “four-generation (四代人的) challenge”. It started on Douyin and has been popular in social media in other countries. People from all over the world have talked much about the videos and even made their own. The videos also make some people remember their family members who have been dead and remind them to love what they have. “Because of the video, I will visit my grandmother this weekend,” a Twitter user wrote.
“I have to say that family love is usually a strong value in China,” wrote Justin. “The …four-generation‟ videos have not only touched foreign viewers, but also given them a deeper look into Chinese family values.”
In most East Asian cultures, many generations of a single family like to live together. This is called an extended family (大家庭). In most Western countries, most families are nuclear families (小家庭), or families that are made up of just children and their parents.
In Western culture, private secrets and independence are highly valued. Kids usually move out of the house after they turn 18. Many of them work part-time jobs in order to pay for college. If they choose to continue living with their
parents after becoming an adult, it can be seen as a sign of immaturity (不成熟).Although family forms in the East and West may be different, the love and connections between family members are the same. That might be why the “four- generation” videos have won so many hearts around the world.
1．A Twitter user wants to visit his grandmother because he .
A．has no choice but to do so B．is reminded by his parents
C．lives in a single-parent family D．is touched after watching the videos
2．The underlined part in Paragraph 3 refers to .
A．advise them to visit their Chinese relatives
B．let them know more about Chinese family values
C．give them a chance to move their families to China
D．ask them to do something valuable for Chinese families
3．The word “independence” in Paragraph 5 means “”.
A．自由B．独立C．快乐D．成长
4．The “four-generation” videos are popular because.
A．Justin has already written some reviews
B．family forms in the East and West are similar
C．the love between family members is the same
D．many generations of a single family live together
