One day,a baby snail(蜗牛)found that he had to carry a big and heavy shell at any time.He was confused(困惑的),so he went up to his mother and asked,"Why was I born with a shell that grew so hard and heavy?"His mother said,"Because we don't have bones to hold us up.We can only move slowly,so we need a shell to protect us."

The baby snail asked again,"The caterpillar(毛毛虫)has no bones,either,and she can't move quickly.Why can she live without a shell?"The mother snail answered,"That's because a caterpillar will become a butterfly(蝴蝶).She can fly high into the sky.The sky can protect her.

The baby snail had one more question,"But the earthworm(蚯蚓)moves like us.He has no bones and he won't turn into a butterfly.Why doesn't he carry a hard and heavy shell?"His mother said,"He can dig a hole and hide in the ground,and then the earth can protect him."

The baby snail then cried,"We are so poor!We have no protection from the sky or from the ground!"His mother smiled at him,"That's why we have a shell.My dear,imagine that if we don't have the shells,what will happen to us?Hot sun will dry out our bodies and we'll have nowhere to sleep.What's more,we'll die in the heavy rain.How terrible it is!We don't depend on the sky or the ground for protection.We should depend on ourselves."

Letter A

Young people are always told that they should make the most of their time,that they will never be as free again So,my question is﹣why fill up all this free time with housework?Parents expect their children to get good grades,be good at sports,and be popular with other kids.However,there is not enough time in the day to do these things and then do housework as well.It's not fair to expect teenagers to give up their precious time to do boring housework.Parents and children both have jobs.Parents'jobs are in the workplace.Their children's jobs are at school.

The only difference is that parents get paid and children don't.Parents say that they make their kids do housework to teach them responsibility.But this is just a trick.Parents trick their kids into doing housework because they are lazy.

Yours,

Letter B

Both parents and children have jobs.The parent's job is to go to work to earn money.The child's job is to go to school.But we all get huggry.Someone has to cook the meals and clean up afterward.We all wear clothes that get dirty.Someone has to wash them,iron them,and put them away.Chlidren work from 9 until 4.Parents work from 8 until 6.Sure,after 4 o'clock,children have homework.But after 6,parents have homework too.They have to do the shopping,go to the bank,pay the bills,and help their kids with their own homework!

I think it's only fair that teenagers help out a bit at home.They might not like it,but it's good for them.It teaches them how to look after themselves.This is really useful when (93)     

Sincerely,

Overworked

It's sad to learn that a whale has died in the ocean. However, that is not the end for the whale.It gives a lot to other sea animals after death.

When a whale dies, it quickly drops to the bottom of the ocean floor. There the whale's dead body provides food and nutrients(营养) for deep sea animals. The remains(残髓) can last(持续) for ten years and build an ecosystem called a whale fall ﹣ an "oasis(绿洲)" of life in the deep sea.

Chinese scientists found a whale fall for the first time in the South China Sea this year. The whale fall ecosystem can stay in the deep ocean because of great pressure and cold temperature there. They can stop the body from decomposing(分解) too quickly. The depth(深度) makes it hard for scientists to find the whale fall There are less than 50 known whale falls in the world.

The whale fall in the South China Sea is about three meters long.Scientists have found several species(物种) near the whale fall. Some fish have started to eat the whale's tail. A scientist named Xie Wei says the whale fall might be quite recent and needs long﹣term observation(观察). By studying the whale fall, scientists can better understand how sea ecosystems support life.

The People's Bank of China will come out the fifth edition(版本)of the renminbi(RMB) from August 30, 2019. These banknotes(纸币)will have brighter colors and new security features(防伪特征).

Is paper money going away? Although paper money is used less than electronic payment (电子支付) in some countries,it won' t disappear at once in most parts of the world.

(1)When will the fifth edition of RMB come out?

Where can you get beauty, knowledge and insight(深刻的见解) all in one? The answer is probably a museum.
There is a long list of benefits someone can get from going to a museum. However, the best part of museum is they encourage people to become lifelong learners.
Socrates once said, “Wisdom begins in wonder.” Each time you visit a museum, it could spark(激起) an interest in a field you might never have heard before. Every time we go through museum exhibits, we see something we didn’t know anything about. It encourages us to go home and look up more information.
To help students better understand what they have learned in schools, many schools use museums as a tool to add to their curriculum(课程). For example, you may have learned about static(静电) in physics classes. But in a science museum, you can have a more hands-on experience of how amazing static can be. When you touch a big ball full of static electricity, all your hair stands up straight like an angry lion!
In the US, there is the New York Museum Education Act. It says that New York’s museums and schools should become partners to help students prepare for the 21st century. In China, the government asks more schools to organise more museum trips. Earlier this year, the popular travel website Trip Adviser asked its users to rank(评级)theirs favourite museums. They picked the top 25 museums in the world. The first three are: The Metropolitan Museum of Art,New York, US. Musee d’Orsay, Paris, France and the Art Institute of Chicago, US. The Museum of Qin Terracotta Warrior and Horses in Xi’an, Shanxi is the only Chinese museum on the list, which was ranked 23rd
So come to the museums and there are lots of things to see.

Can you get beauty, knowledge and insight in a museum?
What’s the best part of museum?
Why do many schools use museums as a tool to add to their curriculum?
In China, what does the government ask more schools to do?
What is the passage mainly about?

Chinese Culture
While China is almost the same size as the US in area, it is home to about 1.3 billion people. It has a special culture with a very long history.
Chinese Food

Food plays an important role for Chinese families. Different foods have special meanings. The most obvious(明显的) difference is that Chinese people eat their meals with chopsticks. One of the main foods in Chinese culture is rice. Tea is a favorite drink and it is popular in the market.
Chinese New Year
The Chinese calendar(日历) is called a lunar(阴历的) calendar. It is not the same as the one used in the US. New Year’s Day is in late winter. It is also called the Spring Festival. It has a big celebration of letting go of the old and bringing in the new. It has special foods and traditions. For example, sweeping the floor before New Year’s Day sweeps away all the old year’s bad luck.
Chinese Zodiac(生肖)
The Chinese zodiac, known as Sheng Xiao, follows a twelve-year cycle(循环). Each year is named for an animal. These animal signs are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. For example, the year that begins in 2016 is the Year of the Monkey.

Chinese Language
Chinese is a complex(复杂的) language. Chinese writing developed almost 4,000 years ago and may even be older. Chinese writing has thousands of characters. A character represents(代表) a word and also a meaning. Unlike English, there are no spaces in Chinese writing.

Sally was a student. It was going to be her mother’s birthday. She wanted to buy her a present that would be nice and useful but not expensive.
A week before her mother’s birthday, she went shopping after a quick and simple lunch. When she had been looking for half an hour, she found a shop that was selling cheap umbrellas, and decided to take a black one, since her mother had lost hers the month before.

She had left the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment(车厢), but when she got back, it had gone! When she had left the compartment, there had been no other passengers (乘客) in it, but now there were three.
Sally began to cry when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was. She told them that the black umbrella she had bought for her mother was gone, and that she had to get out at the next station. After the three other passengers heard it, they asked her for her mother’s address so that they could send the umbrella to her if someone had taken it by mistake, and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.
