In front of the house there was a beach. Peter liked to lie on the stand(看台) when the sun was warming it. From the back door of the house he would walk along a path as far as the sand, and stand by the water looking at the sea. When nothing very interesting was happening on the water, he would go down on his knees and take a handful of sand. Through his fingers ran the sand until only small stones and shells were left. Then, with a large sweep of his arm and with as much strength(力气) as possible, Peter would throw them away as far as he could.

At other times, he would lie on his back and look at the clouds, his hands idly(漫不经心地) searching the sand at his sides. He never stopped playing with the sand and feeling it run through his fingers. He lost himself in the changes of the clouds.

From time to time, some fishing boats came close enough to the beach. Peter could see what the fishermen were doing. Then with his hands clasped(紧握) he would look and look, while his whole body moved with the boat from side to side. When the fishermen pulled their nets or threw them into the water, Peter would do the same with an imaginary(想象的) net from his place on the beach.

On this small beach, Peter had a world of his own.

Some people think that if they don’t have a yard, they can’t keep a garden. Luckily, that’s not true. For people who live in apartment buildings, there’s another choice(选择): rooftop gardens—gardens on the roofs(屋顶).

Rooftop gardens are very popular in cities. Most building roofs go to waste. Putting a garden on your roof is a nice way to turn an empty space into something pretty and relaxing.

Rooftop gardens are not a new idea. About 2,600 years ago, people in Ancient   (古老的) Mesopotamia built rooftop gardens. There were such gardens in Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt. These gardens were very important. Many ancient cities had walls. If an army attacked (袭击) the city, the people hid behind the walls. The army usually tried to burn the city’s food, so the people in the city kept their gardens on top of their walls. That way, they could continue to grow food.

Today’s rooftop gardens don’t keep us alive, but they still have nice benefits(好处). Plants take in heat to make the whole building cooler. As a result, people in the building use their air conditioners less. It means more electricity(电) will be saved. One study found that if every roof in Tokyo had a garden, the city would save more than a million dollars a day on electricity.

Rooftop gardening is hard. Here are a few tips. First of all, be safe. Build a fence around your garden. You don’t want the wind to blow plants off your roof! Also, remember that rooftop gardens get more sun. If you have a plant that shouldn’t get too much sun, remember to put it in the shade sometimes.

There are many other things to keep in mind before you start a rooftop garden. Do some research and then give it a try. You’ll make your little part of the city much nicer.

27．Why did people in the past have rooftop gardens?

A．To grow their crops.                                   B．To make the cities prettier.

C．To make their houses cooler.                       D．To protect themselves from attack.

28．Most building roofs go to waste. What does this sentence mean?

A．People turn the roofs into a waste bin.

B．People don’t use that space for anything.

C．People often throw the waste onto the roofs.

D．People don’t waste time on rooftop gardening.

29．What can rooftop gardens do for a building today?

A．To make the whole building cooler.

B．To stop people from throwing rubbish.

C．To produce electricity for the building.

D．To protect the building against the wind.

30．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A．Rooftop gardening is more energy-saving.

B．Rooftop gardens make the city much nicer.

C．Plants in rooftop gardens can get more sun.

D．The idea of rooftop gardens is born recently.

On April 18, Sun Gao from Hangzhou, Zhejiang finished his PE test for senior high school entrance examination. After three years of hard training, he got 26.5 points out of 30. “It wasn’t a high score, since many of my classmates got full scores, but I’m still happy, since I tried my best,” Sun said.

Many junior 13 students across China recently took the PE test. Accounting for(占)30 to 60 points on senior high school entrance examination, PE has been a big challenge for many junior high kids. Many kids like Sun have been training hard for it.

Gong Siyu from Chengdu, Sichuan is in Grade 8.   She signed up for an after-school training class. “Since Grade 7, I’ve been practicing every Saturday evening for two hours, doing pull-ups, an 800-meter run and basketball,” she said. In 2022, when Gong takes the test, the PE test will be worth 60 points, 8.5 percent of the total score in senior high school entrance examination.

“I think it’s a good thing,” Gong said. “Health is important, and by preparing for the teat, we get more opportunities to exercise and relax.”

However, not all students enjoy the process. Liu jiawei from Songyuan, Jilin will take the test soon. He often feels tired from practicing every day. “I’m not athletic and can’t run fast,” Liu said. “In a simulated PE test, I got only 20 points out of 50. This will largely influence my overall ranking in the senior high school entrance examination.”

But he also pointed out a silver liningto the situation. “Our teacher used to use our PE classes for other subjects, such as math, but now they are not taking away our PE classes anymore!”

28．What’s the total score in senior high school entrance examination in Chengdu?

It’s been well over a year since COVID-19 first appeared. Although the virus continued to be a problem in many parts of the world, things are starting to turn back in our favor with the help of vaccines(疫苗).

Vaccine development started in February 2020, when it became clear to scientists that a solution to the pandemic(流行病) would need a global effort to vaccinate as many people as possible. The   COVAX(COVID-19 vaccines Global Access)   mechanism(机制)   was then created to ensure equal access to safe and effective vaccines for all countries and regions, according to Business World.

Although there have been rumors( 谣言 )   about vaccines being unsafe, the majority of people seem to realize the importance of vaccination for building mass immunity(大规模免疫) in order to stop the virus from being spread.

Zhang Wenhong, China’s leading expert on infectious diseases, said it’s good that the world has come to understand that vaccines will protect us, according to Global Times. Zhang added that human beings belong to one family. Vaccines are a kind of medicine that we all must share in order to stay safe and healthy.

Can you get vaccinated?

Unfortunately, not everyone can get the vaccine yet. There are important rules about vaccines that keep us safe. Learn about a few of them here.

Children below the age of 16:

Some vaccines have not yet been tested on children and teenagers, although trails(试验) for these vaccines are expected to begin this summer.

People with allergies(过敏):

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) has received reports that some people have experienced severe allergic reactions to the vaccine. People with a history of vaccine allergies shouldn’t get it. However, those with allergies that aren’t related(相关的) to vaccinations can still get it.

People with medical conditions:

People who have medical conditions that affect their immune system(免疫系统) should know that the vaccine will not be as effective for them, although they can still get it.

34．What can we infer according to the passage?

A．Most Grade 8 students can get vaccinated.

B．The vaccine will not be effective for all people.

C．Vaccines are bad for our health since we will experience severe allergic reactions.

D．If Chinese people all get vaccinated, our country will prevent the spread of COVID-19.
