25、   Once upon a time, there was a beautiful bird, which was very curious about Hell （地狱）. When she was little, her mother always told her that if she didn't master the flying skills, she would go to Hell. She was so curious about Hell that she always asked others what Hell looked like, but no one was sure, because none of them had ever been there. Some said Hell was a place full of water, and others told her that Hell was full of burning fire. However, the bird knew they were lying. She wanted to find out what Hell was.

When other birds were learning flying skills, she always hid herself and watched them. She thought in this way she could go to Hell and see what Hell looked like. However, she spent so little time learning flying skills that one day she was caught by a little boy. The little boy gave her to his grandpa in the countryside as a gift. The old man liked her very much. He made a delicate cage and put her in it. The bird was very worried because she thought she couldn't find out what Hell was like staying in this small cage. However, she couldn't escape. Day after day, she just stayed in the cage, watching other birds flying. She lost her freedom and she became sadder and sadder. At last, she became ill. The old man finally opened the cage, but she was too weak to fly. Lying on the ground, she thought of the question that she ever asked all the time.

“What does Hell look like?”

“Hell is a small well-decorated cage." Before she closed her eyes forever, she finally answered that question herself.

26、Although most of us are now stuck at home because of the virus outbreak, there are still many people trying to do some creative things not only to kill time, but also to help themselves and others stay positive(积极的) during this difficult time. In their own ways, they are showing others that they won’t let the virus get them down. Take a look at some of the interesting things they’re doing with their spare time.

Encourage people to dance

Matthew Lee is a 16-year-old Chinese-American. Although he is now living in Los Angeles, US, the news about the outbreak in China still hit close to home (使感同身受) for him. When he learned that most Chinese are unable to leave their houses, he decided to encourage them by making a dance video with his friends. “My friend Jojo was excited about the chance to cheer people up and she said she would dance her heart out for a great purpose — the health and wellness of those quarantined (隔离) in China,” Lee told TEENS. In the cooldown part of the dance, Lee chose to dance to the song We Are The World. Lee said, “I believe that with sweat and smiles, together, we will make a better day.”

Write a rap song

“I close my eyes and pray (祈祷) / hoping everything will be okay / the one who can save you is not God / but an ordinary man in flesh (肉身) and blood.”

These are a few lines from a rap song written by Liu Yixin and Li Yusheng, who are Senior 3 students from The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China (中国人民大学附属中学) in Beijing. Titled An Empty City (《空城》), the song became popular as soon as it came out because of its thought-provoking (引人深思的) lyrics and deep emotion (感情). Liu said in an interview that he has read a lot of news stories lately, both good and bad, which led him to write a song that expresses his own opinion about the present situation.

“I love making music and used to have my own band. Music is the best way for me to express myself. After the college entrance exam this year, I’ll continue to make more,” Liu told China Youth Daily.

Write an English poem

Du Yiran is a Junior 2 student from Baoding, Hebei. While stuck at home during the outbreak, Du and her classmates wrote several acrostic poems (藏头诗) in English to help cheer people up. “My teacher suggested this form. I found it quite interesting because you can hide a message in the first letters of each line and surprise your readers as they read downwards,” Du said. “As teenagers, we can’t go to the front line to save people’s lives, but we should learn to care about others and do something meaningful during this time.”

A．They made a dance video with their friends.

B．They were streaming live every day.

C．They learned to dance from online videos.

D．They sang the song We Are The World.

【2】Why is the song An Empty City so popular?

28、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.

When I was a teenager, I 【1】 (volunteer) to pass water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners 【2】 passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.

I 【3】 (see) so many types of people doing it before. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish.

On the day of the race, it was 【4】 (terrible) hot. After running for about 5 miles, I was thinking, “I must be crazy. Why did I want to do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment, I said to myself, “I am never doing this again!” That first 10-kilometre race was quite 【5】 experience. I jogged and walked. At times, I didn’t know 【6】 I could finish.

Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed that I was more than 50 years 【7】 (young) than him and that I couldn’t even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare 【8】 (we) to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races, and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-old 【9】 (man) who were still running.

As I crossed the finishing line, I was proud 【10】 myself and having such an experience.
