1、 Beijing is the capital of China. It is an excellent city to visit. (71)Thousands of people will fall in love with Beijing as soon as they arrive in Beijing. There are many places of interest in Beijing, such as the Palace Museum, the Summer Palace and the Great Wall. (72) 你曾去过长城吗? It’s a wonder in the world as well as in China. Also, the food in Beijing is delicious, especially Beijing Duck.
Most large cities have zoos, so does Beijing. But Beijing has a zoo where you can go at night. (73) It seems strange to go to a zoo when it is dark. However, if you go to see lions, tigers or foxes during the day, they’ll probably be asleep. A lot of animals only wake up at night. (74) So this is the best time to watch the animals.
One great thing about Beijing is that there are many people coming from different countries. They speak different languages. You can learn a lot when you work and live with them in Beijing.
I like Beijing very much. (75) 某天去那里是我的梦想。

21、 Great changes have taken place in people’s lives in the past 20 years. In many ways, people live better than before, as we can see from the following points.

In the past, big families had small rooms. The whole family had to live in a small apartment. These days, there are more and more buildings, so more and more people have moved into big and bright apartments with several rooms.

23、The storytellers’ secrets
Find out how writers and artists create their exciting works.
Great stories don’t just happen. Sometimes they can require years of work and effort. For example, J. K. Rowling first had the idea for the Harry Potter series while stuck on a train in 1990—and the first book didn’t come out until 1997. If you have ever wondered how great story tellers come up with their ideas, now you can find out. From September 24 to September 26, the Stories Festival will bring together lots of interesting people to talk about their work at Picturehouse Central, in London.
One of those will be the author and illustrator(插画家), Rob Biddulph, who will discuss his new book Peanut Jones and the illustrated City. He says the key to making the most of a story idea is to jot it down. “I find that ideas leave my head almost as quickly as they enter,” says Bildulph, “so I have to make a note of them immediately, otherwise they will he gone forever.”
Some story tellers at the event—such as Holly Smale, Elle McNicoll (she won the Waterstones’ Children’s Book Prize) and the author and illustrator Abigail Balfe—are sharing their thoughts on why it’s important that people with disabilities are represented in fiction. “Every child deserves(应该)to see themselves reflected positively in stories,” says McNicoll.
Finally, if you find it hard to come up with ideas by yourself, you might want to listen to Christ Smith, the bestselling author of the Kid normal series, discussing his new book The Great Dream Robbery. “I love being silly and coming up with ideas together,” he says, “so it is a complete joy to get to write them into a story that will outlive us.”

24、 Many of you have watched a Superman cartoon or movie. But did you know he first appeared in comics(连环漫画)? Do you want to learn more about popular comic books around the world? Take a look!
Do you find reading boring? Have a read of some comic books. You will learn to love their colorful pictures and simple language.
Comic books usually tell stories through cartoons. The US and Japan have some great comic books. But they are not the same.
Their names are different. People say “comic books” in the US but “manga” in Japan.
American comics are often about superheroes—characters like Superman and Spider Man. So action is a major part of American comics. But Japanese manga like to tell stories of ordinary people. Luffy in One Piece(《海贼王》)is such an example.
American comics make people excited with super powers, while Japanese manga comfort(安慰)people with moving stories. Natsume’s Book of Friends is about a teenage boy. He can see spirits(精灵). He is confused (困惑的)at first but later he makes friends with spirits.
If you are not interested in these two kinds, why not try some from China? Xia Da, 32, is a great comic book artist from China. Some of her comics are about school life. Others show the beauty of Chinese culture.
