Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.
The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.
The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.
The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作) with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.

When I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.
I walked on and on for hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “Turn around and head back home”, but I was stubborn, so I walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.
I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.
I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said “All roads lead home”. It is true. In life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. What is important, though, is how we travel them. Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey The choice is ours.
8．Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young
A．Because he could have fun in nature.
B．Because he could watch TV all day.
C．Because he had many friends.
D．Because he used to explore the old dirt road.
9．How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road
A．He thought he would be scolded by his parents.
B．He felt contradictory in mind.
C．He thought he would be trapped in the woods.
D．He was unconscious.
10．What does the underlined word “something”(Para. 3) refer to
A．The dirt road.
B．His house.
C．The lake.
D．A passing car.
11．What does the author mainly intend to tell us
A．Always make choices on our own.
B．All roads lead home.
C．It’s our attitude that matters in our life.
D．Every effort is worthwhile.

Traveling alone
Traditionally, travel seems to be a group activity to have fun together and avoid loneliness. But traveling alone has become popular, especially among young people. Traveling on your own means that you are the boss of everything, choosing wherever you want to go, whatever you eat and whenever you go out. For some people, it also offers a chance to find themselves a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything. 17 . “You have to face new things and it pushes you out of your comfort zone,” a traveler from the US, told Travel Pulse.
Virtual（虚拟的）reality
World travel can be expensive. But virtual reality, or VR is giving more possibilities to travel for little cost. With ever-improving headsets (头戴式视读器), smartphones and Wi-Fi connections, people can have a 360-degree experience of museums, theme parks and historical places. 18 or view a sea horse giving birth to babies before their eyes in a museum with just a headset on.

Two months ago, Ryder Killam, a 15-year-old French boy was registered in a new school in Hawaii. He just moved there with his parents. Although he missed his old friends very much, he managed to adapt to his new school life and soon made a lot of friends.
However, waiting for the school bus every morning often meant a real suffering because Ryder was born with spina bifida (脊柱裂) and he has to live in a wheelchair. Hawaii is one of the rainiest places in the world. This is not an issue for other students, but for him this was a different story. He often got wet all over before the school bus arrived during the rainy days. In that case, he could only have classes with wet clothes on or called his parents to send dry clothes to school and finding a place to get changed was also a big challenge for this disabled boy.
To keep Ryder protected from the bad weather while waiting for the bus every morning, the students in Ryder's school decided to take action. They first uploaded a post on Facebook asking for an unused bus shelter but got no reply.
Not being able to find one, the students from the construction class decided to take on the challenge of building a customized bus shelter for him and quickly put their hands to work.
As part of the high school's Career and Technical Education program, the construction class teaches its students basic building skills. Its main goal is to provide students with tools and skills that will have real applications in future jobs and a meaningful impact on their community. They had already performed several building projects for the community. Two years ago, they managed to build dozens of shelters for stray cats in the local park. Soon enough, they came up with an idea of building a two-window shelter for Ryder.

Dear Peter，
I'm glad to know you are learning Chinese language and culture. In your last letter, you said you wanted to know something about my family spirits. Here I'm writing to share something about my family spirits with you.
There are many good qualities that have been passed from generation to generation in my family. My parents always lay emphasis on the importance of honesty, bravery and diligence and they set good examples for me and my brother.
My family spirits have a lasting influence on me. Brought up in a friendly atmosphere, I never stop chasing my goal even though I meet with difficulties. Thanks to these good qualities, I have made great achievements in my study and life.
Yours truly，
Li Hua

However, these teenagers found building this bus shelter was no easy job. They not only needed to find all the material they need, including woods, bricks, nails and so on, but also they needed to get the permission to build the shelter from local government. However, no matter how hard it was, they were determined to do what they were supposed to do. Finally, with the help of the teachers and the local people, the shelter was finished.
The day finally came when the new bus shelter was put to use. Ryder was no longer afraid of the rain while waiting for the bus every morning. He was so grateful for what his schoolmates and teachers had done for him. he knew all his new friends and teachers cared him so much, and he was sure he would have a good time in this new school.
