As a teenager, I am often asked what I am going to be in the future. A lawyer? A doctor? Or a scientist? No, my ideal career is to be a teacher. One of the  1. for that is I want to be a teacher like Mr. Chen.

“Look! Do you know what it is? A-ha, it’s the   2.  ! And it will always move around the sun.” Mr. Chen said and pointed to his head. He then touched the nose and   3.  , “Can you tell me the name of this mountain? It is the highest mountain on Earth! What’s the   4. of it? Yes, it’s 8844.43 metres…” I’ll never forget my first geography lesson. He was   5. humorous that we all fell in love with his lessons   6. . It’s Mr. Chen who opened the door of geography for us.

Generally speaking, most of the teachers are strict 7. students and sometimes a little bit demanding（苛求的）, not so with Mr. Chen. He is a lighthouse, showing us the way to the treasure of knowledge. He is a friend and easy to get   8.  with, always encouraging us to speak out loud without  9. our shyness and other disadvantages. He is an example, volunteering his time to students and other teachers.

One day I happened to meet him in the hospital. Seeing the cut on his arm, I realized he was donating his  10. . I was moved and was   11.  another lesson, a lesson of love and devotion.

Every time I see my globe（地球儀）, it would  12. me of Mr. Chen. He is the most unforgettable teacher I have   13. met and he will always be. Someday I hope I am   14.    to be a teacher like him.

Thank you, Mr Chen, thank you for making learning not a job but a joy.

 (One day Alice runs after a strange rabbit and comes into a deep hole. She becomes smaller when she wakes up the next day. She finds herself in a wonderland with many amazing things inside.)   

The Caterpillar(毛毛蟲) and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence. At last the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth, and said to her in a tired, sleepy voice.   

“Who are YOU?” said the Caterpillar.

This opening for a talk couldn’t make Alice at ease. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I----I hardly know, sir, just at present ----at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”

“What do you mean by that?” said the Caterpillar, “Explain yourself!”

“I can’t explain MYSELF. I’m afraid, sir.” said Alice, “because I’m not myself, you see.”

“I don’t see.” said the Caterpillar.

“I’m afraid I can’t put it more clearly.” Alice replied very politely, “for I can’t understand it myself. And being so many different sizes in a day is very puzzling.”

“It isn’t.” said the Caterpillar.

“Well, perhaps you haven’t found it so yet.” said Alice. “But when you have to turn into a chrysalis(蛹，繭)----you will some day, you know ----and then after that into a butterfly, I think you’ll feel it a little stranger, won’t you?”

“Not a bit.” said the Caterpillar.

“Well, perhaps your feelings may be different.” said Alice. “All I know is, it would make ME feel very strange.”

“You!” said the Caterpillar scornfully(鄙視地). “Who are YOU?” The question brought them back again to the beginning of the talk. Alice felt a little angry because the Caterpillar was making such VERY short sentences. She drew herself up and said very seriously, “I think you ought to tell me who YOU are first.”

“Why?” said the Caterpillar.

Here was another puzzling question. As Alice could not think out any good reason, and as the Caterpillar seemed to be very unpleasant, she turned away.

“Come back!” the Caterpillar called after her. “I’ve something important to tell you!”

This certainly gave Alice some hope. Alice turned and came back again.

1.Where may their talk take place?

A. In a wonderland. B. In the field.           C. In the tree.   D. Outside the hole.

2.Why did Alice think she was not herself?

A. Because she was too young to understand the changes.

B. Because being changed several times in a day made her feel puzzled.

C. Because she didn’t like her changes

D. Because she didn’t feel very well.

3.Which of the following sentences can be added to the end of the story?

A. “Don’t be silly. You are still yourself.” said the Caterpillar.

B. “Don’t be angry. You think you’re changed, do you?” said the Caterpillar.

C. “Don’t be sad. You’ll grow bigger again.” said the Caterpillar.

D. “Don’t be afraid. You can go home now.” said the Caterpillar.

Youth, friendship and love are the main themes of this year’s Chinese movies, such as So Young(《致青春》) and American Dreams in China(《中國合伙人》). Tiny Times(《小時代》), one of the most popular movies this summer, also has the same features.

The movie was based on author and director Guo Jingming’s novel of the same name. It tells a story about four girls who come from different backgrounds and of different personalities. Since it was shown on June 27, Tiny Times has made 483 million yuan at the box office. The sequel(續(xù)集) of it was shown on Aug 8 and it has also been a big box office hit.

Cao Yuhan, 13, a high school student at Beijing Jianhua Experimental School, is a big fan of the movie. “I’m deeply touched by their friendship,” Cao said. “When Nan Xiwang is in trouble, the other three girls try their best to help her, even running barefoot （光腳）in the snow. However, not everyone has had good things to say. The people’s Daily said that the film went too far in encouraging youths to become materialistic(物質(zhì)至上主義的). Film commentator Raymond Zhou wrote on his online blog that “Buying luxury goods (奢侈品)seems as a way to express love or friendship, and the word ‘money’ is repeated over and over again. Song Kexin, 14, a high school student at Zhida Middle School in Taiyuan, Shanxi, shows a typical example of a fan’s attitude(態(tài)度). And that’s to look for the positive value. “That movie is a little far from our daily life. My friends and I are not having parties every day,” Song said, “But I admire Tang Wanru’s optimistic attitude（樂觀態(tài)度）. She’s always looking at the bright side of life. I should learn from her.”

China's first moon rover (月球車), Yutu, set off from the lander（登陸車） early on December 15, several hours after the Chang'e-3 probe (探測器) soft-landed on the moon surface.

The 140 kg six-wheeled rover touched the moon surface at 4:35 a.m., leaving deep lines on the loose moon land. This was recorded by the camera on the lander and the images were sent to the earth, according to the Beijing Aerospace Control Center. After that, the rover and lander will take photos of each other and start their own science explorations.

Earlier this morning, engineers made final checks of the environment of the landing area and the situation of the probe（探測儀）. Yutu, reached its solar panel (光板) and started to drive slowly to the moon at 3:10 a.m.. It took Yutu nearly a whole hour to complete the simple task.

In old Chinese tales, Yutu was the white pet rabbit of Chang'e’s. The name for the rover was selected following an online survey that collected several million votes from people around the world.

The rover, 1.5 meters long with its two wings folded (折疊), 1 m in width and 1.1 m in height, is a perfect robot controlled by the command center from the earth. It will face challenges including temperature differences of more than 300℃ on the moon.

Yutu will do some research and look for natural resources (資源) for three months, while the lander will conduct an exploration at the landing place for one year. Then they will have a good rest on the moon and will not be used for a long time until China’s next probe visits the moon again.
