Feel homesick.B. Feel lonely.C. Leave him or her alone.D.

Making their homes beautiful.B. Visiting their friends.C. Travelling all over the world.D. Making a lot of money.33.Why do English people like DIY？______A. Many stores sell DIY things.B. DIY can bring them fun.C. TV programmes teach them to DIY.D. All DIY projects are easy.34.In the Passage, "we bite off more than we can chew" probably means ______ .A. we can eat everything we likeB. we should do something difficultC. we do something that is too difficultD. we eat too much food that is not safe35.Which is the best title of the passage？______A. Easier and Safer DIY.B. DIY in the UK.C. The Joy of DIY.D.

Each city has a different feel and allows you to experience different things.In Qingdao we ate seafood, drank beer and even swam in the sea. In Harbin we wore our warmest jackets, ate local sausage and saw the amazing ice and snow sculptures (雪雕). In Chongli we learned how to snowboard (滑雪板)!

It tells a true story about an Indian man and his two daughters. His name's Mahayir. In real life, he is called "the father of Indian women wrestling" because thousands of girls across India have been supported to take up wrestling with his efforts.A very famous Indian actor—Aamir Khan (阿米尔汗), played the role of Mahavir in the movie. It was an unusual experience for him. Aamir Khan was very serious about his character and he tried to make this character close to the true story. In order to act well, he needed to put on weight to be very fat and then did sports to be very strong in a short time.Aanir Khan started to eat a lot every day before making the movie. He ate at least 5 meals a day including much junk food. He became too fat to run quickly.It is simple to be fat but difficult to be strong. Aamir Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and it took him a few months to be strong. He must eat less food and drink more water. Strength training is also important. This kind of physical training is very boring. He had to lift different weights and did over and over again. Aamir Khan set a goal to himself day by dayand the minute he made it, he fell down on the ground and could hardly stand up. In the end, he became the exact person the movie needed.The role he played was very moving and he succeeded at last. As he says, the most important thing in life is not whether you can reach your goal but whether you have made the greatest efforts.37. Why is Mahavir called" the father of Indian women wrestling"?A. Because he is a very famous Indian player.B. Because he played a role in the movie "Let's go wrestling, Dad!"C. Because he supported many Indian women to take up wrestling.D.
