As we all know, China is the Kingdom of Bamboo, because it has the most bamboo in the world. There are about 2100 kinds of bamboo in the world and about 400 kinds are in China.

1.Bamboo had much to do with the daily lives of people in ancient China. One of the main reasons is that people can make lots of things from bamboo, like beds, chairs and spoons. 2.在纸张出现之前，人们在竹子上写字。 People also used bamboo to make weapons for catching animals or fighting in ancient(古代的) China. Besides, bamboo shoots(笋)were a popular dish, because they were crisp and delicious. 3. It was easy to find bamboo in Chinese medicine.

Today we can still find bamboo all over the land(土地) of China.

Bamboo is tall with thick leaves. People like bamboo very much. They often plant it in the yards and in the parks. It can stand the high temperature of the summer and the cold of the winter. 4. It is a plant that is able to grow on poor land.

Bamboo is always a subject of many poems and paintings. For example, Su Dongpo, said that people could not live without bamboo. People love it for its purity(纯洁) and elegance(优雅). They compare the qualities of bamboo to those of man. 5.所以竹子在中国传统文化中起到了重要作用。

21、Penguins live together, but each pair has a little piece of ground of their own. When a penguin wants to walk through its neighbor’s ground, it must ask for permission（允许）. If it does not, it will have to fight. Penguins come and go all day. They fight for fish and look after their children.

All penguins are good parents—the male penguins are perhaps the best parents in the world. They choose their wives in the dark They can only hear them—not see them. Then the female penguins lay their eggs and go away for about two months. The males look after the eggs. If the eggs get cold, there will be no chicks. There is no food. The snow falls and the wind blows—sometimes at 150 kilometers an hour. The penguins do not move.

When the females return from the sea, they will not remember their husbands. It doesn’t matter. Only one thing— their eggs. Male penguins never fight—unless a penguin leaves a chick for a minute. Then they fight because they all want it. They are strange and wonderful birds.

【1】From the passage we know that penguins usually lead _______ life.

an active B. a quiet   C. a hard D. an easy

22、How do teenagers get on with their parents? I did an online survey among students from different schools. Most of them said they loved their parents but they didn’t think they got on well with their parents. Some people may think only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If you have problems, you can use these ways to help you build a bridge between you and your parents.

Stop arguing with your parents. Arguing is not love. Sometimes, when you talk with your parents angrily, things will be out of control. Your parents won’t think about your ideas if you shout at them. You can’t tell them your ideas clearly, either. Just take some time to find out what makes you unhappy. Then think about what you want to say. If you don’t think you can speak to your parents at the moment, try it later.

Learn from your parents. Your parents are much older than you are, so they have more experience doing things. It’s useful to listen to their advice.

Try to understand your parents. Your parents are people who love you best. Sometimes they stop you doing what you love to do, that’s not because they don’t love you. Instead, that’s because they love you so much and they care about you a lot. If you understand this, it will be easier for you to feel the love.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a happy person. It also makes a happy family.

Go for it! It’s never too early for you to have it.

【1】Where did the writer do the survey?

A．In the library.

B．In the school.

C．On the Internet.

【2】What will happen if you argue with your parents angrily?

A．Things will be out of control.

B．You will find out what makes you happy.

C．You can tell your parents your ideas clearly.

【3】“It’s never too early for you to have it.” means “________”.

A．It’s never too early for you to be a happy person.

B．It’s too late for you to have a happy family.

C．It’s never too early for you to have a good relationship with your parents.

A．How to get on with your parents

“Bing Dwen Dwen” is a cartoon image(形象)of a panda wearing a spacesuit. It looks like a winter sports athlete from the future. It shows the spirit of the Olympics, including a strong mind and a healthy body.
