A group of boys stood around a tree. “What a tall tree!” they said to each other. “It would be    36 to climb to the top.”
The group of boys then decided to play a game to see who could climb to the top of the tree    37 . Their mothers were sitting not far away, looking at their children    38 they played.
One of the climbers was an 8-year-old boy named David. He was the    39 child in the group. Nobody thought that he would win the competition.
Then the game started. All of the boys tried    40 best to climb as high as they could. Although they all made it halfway up the tree before David did, he reached the top of the tree fastest    41 .
His mother was glad to see this. She asked him, “David, how did you get to the top of the tree so    42 ?”
“It was easy,” David said. “The other children kept looking down as they climbed. When they realized how high they were, they got scared and were afraid of    43 down. I, however, looked only    44 . When I saw how close I was, I kept going higher and higher until I reached the top.”

How to prepare a picnic?
Packing(打包) your foods
Before you set off, check if your food box is shut tight(紧紧地). If it’s a hot summer's day, then a cool box will come in handy(派上用场) for keeping your picnic foods.
Don't forget to pack cups or bottles for drinks.
Having a picnic is one of the great joys of summer. Before you start hunting for a shady(阴凉的) place to eat your sandwiches, there are some things you should think about.
Food safety
You should keep things like meat pies, fish and dairy dishes in cold boxes. You’d better keep your foods on ice for as long as possible before you eat them. Finally, carry some hand sanitizers(洗手液). Make sure that everyone's hands are clean before they touch the foods.
Delicious snacks
After you have prepared the main dishes, it's time to pack some snacks. Chips, chocolate bars and cookies are considered(认为) great picnic snacks. They are very delicious, of course, but be careful not to eat too many of them.
( )46. According to the article, before starting out for a picnic, you should_____.
A. find a shady place B. eat your sandwiches
C. make sure your hands are clean D. make sure your food box is shut tight
( )47. Why should you remember to pack cups or bottles?
A. For drinks. B. For meat pies.
C. For fish. D. For dairy dishes.

B
School days are the best days of your life---or are they? If they are, why do so many people have problems during those years?
Exam stress, pressure(压力) from parents and friends can be a bit of a shock after the happy days of primary school. Yes, you will get through, but will you come out on the other side with good experiences, good grades and good friends? Or will you overwork, but not do as well as you should or find yourself left out by your friends? There’s no doubt about it. School is the ideal place for at least one or two hard lessons in life.
School is also a place full of opportunities(机会) and new experiences. You are independent(独立的) of your family there, and you begin to make your own way and make lifelong friends. You learn lessons at school---not only about the world, but also about yourself, about other people and how to make friends with them. You go on having ideas of your own, learning how to take responsibility(责任) and how to stand on your own feet.
A great thing about school is ---it doesn’t last forever! Whatever challenges you are facing at school, there is an end to them. Like everything in life, you will get through them and they will soon become a memory.
( )49. What will you get through at school according to paragraph 2?
A. Self-doubt. B. A lot of stress or pressure.
C. Happy days. D. A great shock.
( )50.The underlined part “find yourself left out by your friends” in paragraph 2 means you find that your friends__ .
A. don't include you in their activities B. don't trust you any more
C. work much harder than you D. get higher grades than you
( )51. Which is mentioned in the text?
A. You may work too hard but still fail exams.
B. School is a place full of good experiences.
C. Family members will share responsibility with you.
D. Many people had problems when they were at primary school.

六、阅读与回答问题。每题答案不超过6个词。（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分。）
In China, many public schools finish classes a few hours before the end of parents’ workday. So parents have to go off work early or need others to help pick up their children.
To help out working parents, the Ministry of Education(教育部) wants primary and middle schools to close later to make time for working parents. Before parents pick up their children, there should be after-school activities in schools. Teachers can help students with their homework. Students can enjoy their hobbies in groups too. But students can't have lessons after school.
In Nanjing, there are free after-school activities in all primary schools from 2017. In 2021, the schools change the time from 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. so that parents can pick up their children. About 230,000 children in primary schools do such activities. They are half of all primary school students in the city.
Shanghai public schools also change their school hours from ending at 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Teachers work for more hours to look after their students after school. “Teachers take turns to do the activities,” a 5th-grade teacher in Shanghai says, “and usually I look after the students every Wednesday and Friday afternoon.”
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
61. Why does the Ministry of Education want school to close later?
62. Can students have Chinese or English lessons after school?
63. What's the total number of the primary school students in Nanjing in 2021?
64. How long do after-school activities last(持续) in Shanghai public schools?
65. How often does the 5th-grade teacher do after-school activities?

Why do so many people around the world love Chinese cooking? In China, cooking is a kind of art, j 76 like music, dancing and painting. H 77 , there is more than just one kind of Chinese food.
