I can still remember my primary school homework on animals. I decided （1） （write）about the whale（鲸鱼）. I have loved them from a young age.

I’m not quite sure why I love them. It might be something about （2） （they）shape. They have a smooth shape, and their tails look like a heart. They also move so （3） （slow）and beautifully, like a tree dancing in the wind. This way, they seem very clever.

So, of course, one of my best memories （4） （be）when I got to see a type of whale called the Southern Right Whale in Argentina. Watching them moving smoothly in the water, I felt （5） （happy）than ever. They were so beautiful!

And I’m not the only one who loves whales. Different peoples across the world have a special place for whales in their （6） （heart）. Take the Maori people in New Zealand as （7） example. Living by the ocean, they see whales as guardians（守护者）of the ocean and talk about them a lot in their （8） （tradition）stories.

Why was I interested in whales like the Maori people? （9） they need our protection. That’s what my school homework was about— animals we need to protect. Whales play a big role （10） the ocean. So, protecting whales means protecting the whole ocean.

根据短文内容，从短文前方框内的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A. This e-bike is also very “smart”. B. So I’m very proud that we never gave up. C. The weight of this new e-bike is just 15kg. D. This material makes it light and friendly to environment. E. It included many years of research, development and failures.

E-bikes usually have a big problem—it is much heavier than common bikes. Recently, a Romanian company has solved this problem. （1） In fact, an adult can even lift it easily.

The reason for the low weight is the choice of material（材料）, which is quite unusual. It uses a frame（车架）made of bamboo. （2） What’s more, the bamboo frame also makes riding more comfortable, because it has good vibration damping（减震）.

（3） Your smartphone is connected to the e-bike. So you can check your riding information in real time through a special app on your smartphone.

The company manager said, “Creating the bikes was a hard journey. （4） To be honest, I really don’t remember how many times we had to face the failures（失败）.”

The manager continued, “But in the end, we succeeded. We have created a bike that is light-weight enough, strong enough and smart enough. （5） And now we have successfully developed these bikes to meet the needs of more people in cities.”

Have you ever thought about what goes into making a cartoon? Or maybe there is a famous cartoon from another country you like to watch in Chinese? But how do you change the language to Chinese? This is something called dubbing（配音）. To dub means adding sounds or words in a new language to a movie, radio or TV show. Dubbing is usually done to make it easier for people in another country to understand a movie or a show.

For me, I’ve had experience dubbing TV shows and cartoons from Chinese into English. I’ve done dubbing for many kinds of shows, such as love stories, kung fu movies, documentaries（纪录片）and more. However, my favourite ones to dub are cartoons. That’s because with cartoons I can use many different kinds of voices, such as high ones for good guys and low ones for bad guys.

Two of my favourite cartoons that I’ve dubbed were called A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix（《百鸟朝凤》）and The Foolish Old Man Who Removes the Mountains（《愚公移山》）. In the first cartoon, I got to play a silly and very proud but well-meaning blackbird. In the second cartoon, I played both the main hero named Qingfeng and the main bad guy named Mountain Spirit Zheng. The hardest part was not reading the written words. But it was acting out（将……演出来）the voices while matching the actions at the same time. Still, it was really fun voicing all of these different roles!

If you enjoy making different voices, then I highly suggest that you try dubbing at least once.

（1）Why do people dub foreign movies?

A．	To show their foreign language skill.	B．	To increase the movies’ ticket prices.
C．	To make the movies easy to understand.	D．	To add their own opinions in the movies.

（2）What is the writer’s favourite type of dubbing?

A．

Love stories.

B．

Kung fu movies.

C．

Documentaries.

D．

Cartoons.

（3）The underlined word “guys” in paragraph 2 means ______ in the text.

A．

roles

B．

voices

C．

stories

D．

lifestyles

（4）What did the writer dub in A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix?

A．

A child.

B．

A bird.

C．

A mountain spirit.

D．

An old man.

（5）What was the hardest part for the writer in dubbing the second cartoon?

A．	Dubbing the voice of a blackbird.	B．	Writing the words for the movies.
C．	Reading aloud behind the screen.	D．	Matching voices and actions well.

Harry and Annie lived a mile from town, but they walked there to school every day. It was a happy walk around the pond（水塘）on their way to school. In winter, when the ice was thick enough, they went across the pond. But their mother did not like them to do this. She said, “If there’s no one with you, you mustn’t walk across the pond.”

“Don’t go across the pond today, children,” she said, as she kissed them goodbye one morning. “It is beginning to thaw.”

“All right, mother,” said Harry, not very happy, for he liked running and sliding（滑行）on the ice very much.

When they came to the pond, the ice looked hard and safe.

“There,” Harry said to his sister, “let’s slide over it.”

“But you promised mother,” said Annie.

“No, I didn’t, I only said ‘All right’, and it is all right.”

“I didn’t say anything, so I can do what I like,” said Annie.

So they got on the ice and started to go across the pond.

They had not gone far before the ice got broken, and suddenly they fell into the water.

Luckily, a man who was at work near the pond heard the children’s cries. He rushed into the water and saved them successfully. Both of them were nearly drowned（淹死）before the man reached them.
