There are lots of popular writers in China, for example Han Han, FengJical, Tie Ning, Guo Jingming and so on. In my mind, Mo Yan is one of the most famous writers in China, because he is not only from Weifang but also good at writing.
Mo Yan was born in Gao Mi, Wei Fang. Now he is a 57-year-old writer. His real name is Guan Moye. Mo Yan is his pen name. It means “no speaking”. He began writing at the age of 26 and in 2011 his novel The Frog won the Mao Dun Prize in Literature. Since then, he has won lots of prizes.
In 2012, Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature. I’m proud of him, because I like writing. So I joined a writing workshop to improve my level of writing and I made lots of friends there.
Who is your favourite writer? Can you tell me?
How many writers are mentioned in this passage?

Where was Mo Yan born?

What does “Mo Yan” mean?

Why did the writer join a writing workshop?

Which one is not TRUE?

In the past 300 years, more than 130 species of animals have become extinct. One of these extinct species is the passenger pigeon(旅鸽). At one time there were millions of these birds in North America, but now there are none. The last one died in the Cincinnati Zoo in 1914. Another extinct animal is the cape lion(西非狮). The animal has been extinct since 1860.
What cause animals to become extinct? Too much hunting is one cause; pollution is another.
Governments around the world have begun to protect wild animals in danger. In the United States, the US Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for(承担义务)endangered animals. It has listed nearly 200 species of endangered animals in North America.
The underlined word “extinct” in the first sentence probably means “         ”.

There were many cape lions in North America          .

       isn’t the reason for the extinction of wild animals in North America.

Three are        species of wild animals in danger listed by the US Fish and Wildlife.

The best title of this passage should be “       ”.

Some people like to get up early, but some do not. In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every day. Maybe those who don't like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true. Scientists made a survey in about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising(早起) people had less disease(疾病) than late rising people, and early rising people also look healthier than late rising people, and so on.
So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us healthy. We all need fresh(新鲜的) air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides, it is useful to do morning exercises.
Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to understand what we learn.
Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.
Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and faces and eat our breakfast.
Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit(养成习惯) of early rising. They have to make an effort(努力) to do so. As the English proverb says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy(富裕的) and wise.”
Early rising people are          than late rising people.

Air is the freshest         according to the passage.

Which of the following is the result of early rising?

If a man always likes to get up late, it's     for him to form the habit of getting up early.

As the English proverb says,            can make us healthy, wealthy and wise.
