The Ministry of Education (教育部) wants students to practice their sports skill. It wants to make homework for physical education classes. It also wants to cut down homework for math and language.

Physical education helps improve children's health in a big way. There was a survey in 2019. It said that as high as 53.6% of primary and secondary school students were shortsighted (近视的)，and 81%among high school students. More physical activities helped with eyesight problems in children. The survey also said 15.7 of Grade 1 students had eyesight problems.But in Grade 6, it was 59%.Those six years were important for helping with their eyesight.

40 minutes of outdoor activities every day helps a lot. It can help students to relax their eyes. It can also help their bodies to have vitamin D. For preschool children, they'd better have outdoor sports activities every day. For those aged between 7 and 12, they'd better exercise for at least an hour every day. After outdoor activities, children can have a good sleep. This will help their bodies grow faster.

In 2022, for the first time ever in the Games' history, Beijing became the first city to host both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

China came a long way and achieved many goals after joining in the Winter Olympics for the first time in 1980. During the time, China won the first place in six skating events.Short track speed skating (短道速滑) has been an area of expertise (特长) for China.

China's love for winter sports is growing. The Ministry of Education set a goal of building 5,000 special schools by 2025 to improve winter sports education. The government also asked primary and high schools to add winter sports to their subjects. Many provinces and cities already acted on this suggestion. In northern China, schools will set up classes to make students become more interested in winter sports.In southern China, schools can work together with ice rinks (溜冰场) and winter sports clubs.

When I was a junior high school student in 1980, God gave me a gift, it was happiness.

One weekend, I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On my way home a car ran over me and cut off my arms because it rushed so fast. Several days later when I woke up at the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life without arms. How sad I felt at that time! Even I was full of fears, but slowly I knew I had to face the fact and get over it. I couldn't get my arms back even though I cried every day.

However, it's easier saying than doing. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the

sadness completely. I got so much from my past story.

From then on, I could treat my life with a normal mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates get worried about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; their bus comes late; they don't have a mobile phone, but others have, and so on. But I only enjoy life. I was lucky to realize from an accident. It is not a good idea to keep thinking about what you don't have. We should always think of what we have. So why are so many people unhappy? Someone may say, "My whole life would improve if I have a new car." But when you get the new car and what happens? For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.

Happiness depends on what we have. It's in our heart.It's a state of mind. Even though you own the whole world, you may still feel unhappy.Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating (感激) and taking pleasure in what you really have.

42.According to the story, the writer lost his _____________.

A.feet     B.legs      C.arms      D.fingers

43.Half a year after the accident, the writer _____________.

A.got his arms back            B.treated his life normally

C.cried every day              D.didn't get out of the sadness

44.The writer shows opinion to the readers by ______________.

A.listing numbers                 B.giving examples

C.comparing                     D.telling funny stories

45.What is the structure (结构) of the passage?

A.① /② ③ ④ ⑤          B.①/ ② /③ ④ ⑤

C.①/ ② ③/ ④ ⑤         D.①/ ② ③ ④/ ⑤

Dear Mike.

We will have a new classmate from America next week. In English class, the teacher asked us to talk about "How to get on well with classmates". Here are the results of my group. Zhang Ying thinks that we should be outgoing and friends so that we can make friends easily. Wang Yu believes that we’d better learn to share such as happiness and sadness. If we’re ready to share, we’ll understand classmates better. Li Hao suggests going hiking with classmates in our free time. Our relationship can get closer. As far as I’m concerned, we should give our classmates a hand if they are in trouble. For example, we can help others with their homework.

I really hope the above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Looking forward to your early reply!

Yours,

Li Hua
