    Finally,people are trying to build a robot suit (套装).This is an electronic suit.It allows people to lift heavy objects and walk a long way.It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident.However,one disadvantage at the moment is cost.

    Looking ahead,it is easy to imagine a future.We will be able to fly to work,print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads.Although there are some problems to solve before all of this is possible,we can certainly dream of a world.

    China is no stranger to lunar exploration (探月) programs.Over the years,it has sent a number of increasingly challenging missions to the moon.One of the most famous missions was the historic landing of Chang'e﹣4 spacecraft on the moon's far side in 2019.As Chang'e﹣5 reached a new area of the moon,this launch successfully pushed the limits (极限) even further.It's no doubt a great step forward for the space industry.

    This is a truly historic event for China's space program,making China the third nation in the world to bring samples back from the moon.The success has also made Chang'e﹣5 the first spacecraft to bring back samples from the moon since 1976 when a Russian spaceship brought back 170.1 grams of samples to the earth.This was no easy task,but China has made it.

Nature and culture are often seen as opposite ideas.What belongs to nature cannot be the result of human activities and.on the other hand,cultural development is achieved against nature.However,this is not the only opinion on the relationship between nature and culture.Studies in the development of humans suggest that culture,whether taken as an effort against nature or a natural effort,is part of the development of the human species(物种).

    Several modern writers saw the process of education as a struggle(斗争) against human nature.We are born with wild natures,such as eating and behaving in a disorganized way or acting selfishly.Education uses culture as a way to get us out of our widest natures;it is thanks to culture that the human species could learn to adapt(适应) ,progress and raise itself above and beyond other species.

    Over the past century and a half,however,studies in the history of human development have shown that the formation of culture is part of the biological adaptation.Consider,for example,hunting(打猎) .It seems to be an adaptation,which allowed humans to move into new and different areas,opening up the opportunity to change living habits.At the same time,the development of weapons(武器) is related to that adaptation—from rocks and stones to a set of hunting tools,and from hunting tools to rules relating to the proper use of weapons.Hunting also seems to be responsible for a whole set of bodily abilities,such as balancing on one foot.Just think of how this very simple thing is closely related to dance,a key expression of human culture.It is then clear that biological development and cultural development are closely tied.

    The transmission of culture seems to be directly related to what's in our blood.Just as snails carry their shell,so do we bring along our culture.However,culture is also passed on among people of the same times or among people belonging to different populations.We can learn how to make jiaozi even if we were born from Russian parents in Paris just as we can learn how to speak English even if none of our family or friends speaks that language.

(1)What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?   

A.Culture belongs to human nature.

B.Nature teaches humans how to adapt.

C.Humans are supposed to be well organized.

D.Education pushes the human species to progress.

(2)Why does the writer talk about hunting in Paragraph 3?   

A.To suggest some possible ways of changing living habits.

B.To stress the importance of tools in humans' struggle for life.

C.To show how culture develops as humans adapt to the environment.

D.To explain why there is a need to call for the proper use of weapons.

(3)The word "transmission" in Paragraph 4 probably means "    ".

A.system

B.spread

C.start

D.spirit

(4)What is the writer's opinion on the nature﹣culture relationship?   

A.Culture and nature are separate yet balanced.

B.Culture depends much on nature to progress.

C.Nature and culture are different but connected.

D.Nature follows the unwritten rules set by culture.

Flamenco is very popular in southern Spain.It begins with guitar music and clapping(击掌)and then dancers join the performance.Sometimes a woman dances alone and sometimes she dances with a man.The woman always wears a long,colorful dress.She moves her arms and hands slowly but her feet move in fast difficult steps.The man often wears black.Both dancers click their shoes on the floor when they dance around each other.

    Cossack dances are from Russia and Ukraine.They are very energetic — some are more like gymnastics than dancing!Dancers have to be very fit because they jump very high and kick their legs up and down.They often jump over swords(剑).The movements are similar to traditional Cossack activities,for example,sword fighting and getting on and off horses.

    Limbo dancing is first from West Africa but today it is an important part of celebrations in the Caribbean.Young people have to dance under a pole(杆).The pole is often on fire and the dancer mustn't touch it!After a successful "limbo",they put the pole lower and do it again.Some dancers can dance under a pole just twenty centimeters off the ground!

    Mask(面具)dances are important for the Dogon people in Mali.Each village makes different masks.They are often huge and colorful.There are masks of people,monsters or local animals like crocodiles and monkeys.Mask dancers are always men and they dance to the sound of drums for hours after the death of a person in the village.Today,Dogon villagers also perform the dances for tourists.

Do video games do harm to our children?Today,many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet.In the UK,99%of kids aged8 to 15 play video games every week.This information tells us that the benefits and dangers of video games must be carefully considered.

For many people,video games are fun.They have bright lights,funny cartoons and exciting stories.Everywhere you look,you can see children playing these games.They play on buses and trains,in restaurants and even at school.

Video games are educational too.They make kids think in a creative way and theyhave to move their hands and eyes quickly.This can improve the way that a child's brain works.What's more,video games make children use their imagination.The player has to do many creative things,like drawing,telling stories and building things.Video games are also a good way to teach children about technology because they can learn how computers and other devices work while they play.

However,a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children.First,children can download many games for free.This means that parents often don't know if their children are playing violent or scary games.Second,many children spend too much time playing games on computers and this can lead to health problems.Third,if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework,they can have problems at school and get bad grades.Finally,video games can affect children's social skills.If children spend too much time playing video games by themselves,they might not learn how to play with their friends.
