Jack thought himself a basketball fan. He watched quite a lot of American NBA basketball games. Not only did he watch them, he spent much of his free time playing on the court too. Then came the final year of his middle school. All of his regular teammates stopped showing up on the court because they were simply too busy preparing for the high school entrance exam to play. He was, of course, under much stress himself, like everyone else. A good exam result meant a good high school; a mediocre(平庸的) score meant a mediocre school. Much was at stake.
However, he loved basketball so much that he still found time to play, this time with a group of guys who were said to have skipped classes(逃课) before.
Some of his teachers started worrying about him. They asked his mother to go to school to let her know that Jack was hanging out with problem kids. When his mother returned home that day, she wanted to talk to Jack. Knowing the purpose of her visit to the school, Jack though his mother would punish him for befriending those bad guys. To his surprise, his mother was not angry with him at all. She wanted to hear her son's side of story. So Jack told his mother about what he knew of Simon and Peter. Simon's parents were badly ill; Peter's father had lost his job. They both seemed to Jack to be normal kids. Jack's mother thought for a moment, and then went on to say that she was OK with her son playing with them and that she and her son should think of ways to help these kids. Soon Jack's mother introduced some part -time jobs to Simon and Peter, which they accepted. She believed in her son and cared about those who were less lucky.
Jack's basketball friends and he have left for different places, but they still keep in touch. He knows Peter is now a manager of a local bank. Simon is currently a freshman at a university. Sadly, it is impossible to get together to play basketball again, but whenever they get on the phone, they talk about all the time.

The Flame Mountain(火焰山)is about 200 km away from Urumqi in Xinjiang. It is in a place with many high mountains around it. It is much hotter than nearby places. If you want to enjoy the feeling of a hot shower in summer, it's the right place to go!
On hot summer days, it can get hotter than 80℃. Try to cook eggs or cakes in the sand and they will be ready in a few minutes!
Does rain help make it cooler? People hardly see rain in 10 out of the 12 months in a year. Why? For most of the time, the raindrops dry in the hot air before they reach the ground.
The mountain came into being millions of years ago when the earth was changing a lot. We can't see any plants on the top of the mountain, only red rocks. They make the whole mountain look red. In hot air and strong sunshine, the mountain looks like a burning flame. That's where its name comes from.

We go to school every day to become better people. How can we start to make big changes in our lives? Perhaps we can get tips from former US First Lady Michelle Obama. During a visit to China from March 20 to 26 in 2015, Obama shared her views on education and youth empowerment with students.
The first lady encouraged Chinese students to aim high and get a good education. At Chengdu No 7 High School, she told students that having humble roots doesn't matter as long as you have perseverance (毅力). Obama said her family was not rich. Like many Chinese students, her parents had big dreams for her. She felt the weight of her parents' sacrifices (牺牲) on her shoulders and worked hard to make them proud. Persevering was not easy, though. Sometimes she had to wake up at 4:30 am and study late into the night. "But whenever I got tired or discouraged… I would remember something my mother always told me. She said: A good education is something that no one can take away from you.'"
Mrs Obama also encouraged Chinese students to study abroad to broaden their horizons (开阔视野)
in a speech at Peking University. "As the Chinese saying goes: It is better to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books," she said. It's not enough to get good grades in school. It's also important to have real experience with languages, cultures and societies that are different from your own, she noted. Studying overseas can also benefit future international relations. It can help young people from different countries work together to deal with shared problems like climate change, Obama said.
（1）Who did Michelle Obama share her views with?
A . Students in the US.
B . Students in China.
C . Her family members.
D . Students who visited the White House.
（2）What can we learn from her experience?
A . She studied abroad before.
B . She was born into a rich family.
C . She studied long into the night.
D . She often felt tired and discouraged.
（3）What does the Chinese saying underlined in the last paragraph mean?
A . Getting good grades in school is good enough
B . Real life experience is important.
C . Traveling is not as beneficial as studying at home.
D . Studying far away from home is necessary for success.
（4）What's the story mainly about?
A . Michelle Obama's family life.
B . Michelle Obama's experience of studying abroad.
C . The importance of studying abroad and broadening one's horizons.
D . Michelle Obama's views on education and youth empowerment.

Tape-Measure Murder is a short story by AgathaChristie. In the story, Miss Politt, the dressmaker, finds that Mrs. Spenlow isdead in her house in a small village called St Mary Mead.Everybody, including the police, thinks that Mr. Spenlow is the murderer (凶手) because he isso calm and quiet after discovering his wife's death. But after the police talkto Miss Marple, she finds out the real murderer.
The best part of the story is when Miss Marple explains how she solvesthe mystery (疑案) by noticing a tiny pin (别针) on a policeman's uniform.Her explanation is very clear and clever. Miss Marple is my favorite characterin the story. I think she is very special because she is just an old lady butshe is even smarter than the policemen. I never thought that an old lady could bethe main character of a detective story!
Can you guess who the murderer is? Read the book to find out! You willenjoy the story very much because the ending is so surprising.
