Have you ever dreamed of climbing Mount Everest or visiting Antarctica If so, you’re not alone. Every year, thousands of people try to climb the world’s highest mountains. In the past, explorers had compasses and maps, but today’s adventurers have satellite phones and GPS. They use their travels to let the world know about climate change and help people in the countries they visit.
Ed Stafford from the UK is the first person to walk the length of the Amazon River. He started by a small stream in the Andes mountains of Peru and arrived at the river’s mouth in Brazil, two years and four months later. Snakes, crocodiles and jaguars live in the Amazon rainforest. Luckily, he was just bitten by ants and mosquitoes every day. On his trip, Ed had to find food each morning. Sometimes the fruit, nuts and fish he ate were hard to find and Ed often felt weak and hungry.

To increase the challenge, Gerlinde climbs without using oxygen tanks (氧气罐). Low oxygen levels can make climbers ill, so Gerlinde has to climb slowly. Gerlinde raises money for a charity for poor children and orphans in Nepal.

Apart from his travels, he helps people with disabilities to live active lives and takes groups of young blind people on climbing expeditions.

Ma Jiqing is the kind of man who looks for a coin on the ground while not losing sight of the moon. Though farming and painting may not seem connected ---with one being down-to-earth and the other a refined pursuit---the 72-year-old has been doing both for the past 50 years.
The farmer-turned-painter has created works presenting the development of the country’s rural areas by showing scenes of rural life, good harvests and satisfied families.
Ma, who lives in the county-level city of Qingzhou, Shandong province, had his own way to celebrate a recent farmers’ harvest festival-painting several new pieces.
One of his works show a lot of corn dwarfed by nearby hills.
“These paintings are a salute to farmers and the festival,” says Ma.
Typical farmer paintings are hand-painted with watercolors on paper. Their bright colors, thick lines and exaggerated (夸张的) patterns enable Chinese farmers to show rural life and express their views.
Ma is also contracted (订合同) by a farmer-painting organization in Qingzhou. Paintings of different sizes hang on the walls in his workroom.
“This one earned a national award,” says Ma, pointing to a painting that covers half of a wall.
Ma has enjoyed painting since he was little. As his family was poor when he was a child, the cornfield was his workroom and borrowed comic books were his teachers.
“When my parents were farming, I liked to draw them on the back of my notebook. And I traced patterns from comic books to learn skills.”
I prefer to be called ‘farmer’ instead of ‘artist’. The farmland will always be my spiritual home. Canvases (画布) are my fields, and I want to come up with drawings to better reflect the aspirations of farmers.” he says.
66. According to paragraph 1, Ma Jiqing is the kind of person who ____________.
A. likes both the money on the ground and the moon in the sky
B. is very poor and has to discover every penny under the moonlight.
C. not only is practical and realistic, but also thinks tall and has a greater goal.
D. never stops pursuing the success of art.
67. Chinese farmers describe the country life and express their opinions by ____________.
A. celebrating farmers’ harvest festival
B. giving a salute to farmers and the festival
C. using strong colors, heavy lines and exaggerated shapes and designs
D. paint by hands with watercolors
68. From the passage, we know that Ma Jiqing ____________.
A. has been a farmer since he was 22 years old.
B. has presented the improvement of country life in his works.
C. lives a rich life in the countryside
D. hopes to own a workroom in Qingzhou
69. The underlined words “salute” in the passage most probably mean the action to ____________.
A. express respect and admiration B. show thanks and be grateful
C. make known a feeling of excitement D. present the strong emotion of regret
70. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Farmers paint pictures of rural life in China. B. A farmer’s art dream.
C. Colorful life in Chinese countryside. D. The celebration of the harvest festival.

Dear Tom,
I’m happy you will come to China. Let me give you some suggestions and advice about Chinese customs. First of all, you are supposed to shake hands to show your hospitality when you meet someone for the first time. Besides, when you have meals with other people, it’s impolite to point at others with your chopsticks. In addition, if you are invited to a party, you are expected to arrive on time and bring some small gifts. Flowers and fruits are both good choices.
As the old saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do! “Hope you will have a good time in China.
Have a safe trip, and I look forward to meeting you soon!
Best wishes,
Li Lei

(W) Talking about personal relationships, well, I’d naturally think of my relationship with my mother. Whenever I need help, my mother is always there for me. She often tells me that I can be anyone I want, as long as I’m confident of myself. She sees my talent and pushes me to do the best I possibly can. As I was growing up, we were often on the move. I had to say that moving so often made me feel lonely. But my mother did everything she could to help me feel happy. In fact, so much traveling was really a good thing because it made us close. I respect my mother so much as she never treats me as a child, but as an equal. She allows me to make mistakes and to learn from them all. Unlike friendships that can disappear, I know I’ll always be connected to my mother no matter what I face. She is not just a role model, but someone I love.
