In most space-themed films, whenever Earth faces a disaster, the solution is always running away from the planet in spaceship. But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different idea.

The movie is based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin. In the film, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. Half of our planet’s population is already dead and big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are destroyed. To save the Earth, the whole world works together and comes up with a plan: Move the whole planet to a safe place. Instead of running away from Earth, this time we’re taking it with us.

Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home. That makes The Wandering Earth different for Hollywood-style space films. And the makers of the film may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was shown on Feb.5, the first day of Chinese New Year. Ti was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. “What is Chinese sci-fi?” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “Chinese sci-fi can really express our culture and spirit. If we can’t do that, we’re just copying and telling the same American stories.”

I think this is a great movie. When facing a disaster, people from different parts of the world work together to save out planet. I was actually moved to tears by it. It is a movie you can’t miss.

1.In the latest Chinese sci-fi movie, _____ will destroy our planet

A. Earth B. humans C. aliens D. the sun

2.Who thinks of the plans to move the Earth in the film?

Spring is here. Did you plant trees on Tree-Planting Day? Everyone knows that climate change is a serious problem these days. People have a lot of work to do in order to prevent it. One of the best ways is to plant more trees.

According to a study by NASA, the Earth’s green leaf area has increased by 5 percent, or over 5 million square kilometers since 2000. China is responsible for 25 percent of the increase. That’s about one square of the size of the whole Amazon rainforest.

Over the past twenty years, China has made great efforts to green the land in order to fight soil erosion (水土流失) and air pollution. It is one of the most successful countries in greening the desert.

For example since 1962, China had been planting trees in Saihanba in Hebei province. It was once a barren(貧瘠) area. After overcoming many difficulties, foresters have turned the area into China’s largest man-made forest. Another example is the Kubuqi Desert, which is near the Yellow River in Inner Mongolia. It was once the source(來源) of sandstorms in Beijing. But now, about one third of the Kubuqi Desert is covered with trees, and sandstorms are less common. Mu Us Desert was also known for its sandstorms many years ago. But now, one-quarter of the desert has been turned into forest.

In a word, planting trees is really important to us. Let’s take part in planting trees to make our earth greener and more beautiful.

1.The reason why China makes great efforts to green the land is to _____

A. prevent climate change B. plant more trees

C. reduce water pollution D. stop the soil from being washed away

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

B. Planting tree is the best way to prevent the climate change

C. The green leaf area of China has increased by 0.25 million square kilometers since 2000.

D. Mu Us Desert cause the sandstorms in Beijing

3.It is _______ for foresters to turn Saihanba into the forest

Every year in March, while the two session(會議) are being held in Beijing, government officials give sports to the public. And they answer questions from journalists from both home and abroad. For this reason, interpreters(口譯員) play a very important role.

Zhang Lu is one of them. She usually interprets for top leaders. Zhang is known for her translations of Chinese literary quotes (文學(xué)典故). From the ancient poem Li Sao to the shi,ci and qu writing of later dynasties, she can interpret them well.

How are interpreters like Zhang able to work so correctly and quickly? The source of their ability is largely hard work. Most of them majored in English in college and went through a great deal of training. After they become interpreters, they never stop learning. Zhang watches and listens to foreign media such as BBC, VOA and CNN on TV or the radio every day as part of her training. She described it as an “unshakable (不可動搖) routine”. She hardly ever breaks it.

According to China Radio International, a month before the two sessions, the interpreters are told who they are going to interpret for. They then make full use of the month to prepare themselves. They try to predict what kinds of questions might be asked. They also look at literary quotes that the spokesperson might plan to use when they answer questions.

There is no “secret” to the success of China’s best interpreters. It comes from hard work.

1.What does Zhang Lu do?

A. A top leader B. A government official C. A interpreter D. A journalist

B. whom interpreters work for

C. what interpreters usually do before two sessions

D. how to be a good and successful interpreter.

Many people believe that pigs are naturally fat, lazy and dirty. But are any of those thing true?

It is true that pigs are fat. They eat a lot. But they are useful to us. We get more than just pork from pigs. We can use their skin to make shoes. We can use their hair to make brushes. Pigs also provide us with ingredients for drugs like insulin(胰島素). Insulin can treat a serious disease.

People sometimes say: “You are as stupid as pig.” But pigs are not stupid. In fact, pigs are one of the10 smartest animals. They have a good memory and can tell different shapes apart. Many experts think pigs are easier to train than dogs or cats. In France, people teach pig to find truffles(松露) . With their good sense of smell, they can find truffles in a short time.

When you see pigs, they are usually in dirty water or mud. That’s because pigs have no sweat glands(汗腺). On hot days, they have to cool themselves in water or mud. This keeps insects away from them as well. Mud can also protect their skin from sunburns.

People like pigs. On the one hand, people think the pig’s big head and ears area symbol of good luck. If someone has a round face, people will think he or she has good luck. On the other hand, people believe pigs stand for wealth. Piggy banks are a good example of this. Most children have a piggy bank that they can use to save money.
