In Chinese, there is an idiom (成语) Jiang Lang’s talent ends. It describes writers who have lost their talent.
Jiang Lang was a Chinese poet who lived long ago. His real name was Jiang Yan. He was born in a poor family during the Southern Dynasty (420—589). When he was young, he studied hard and became good at writing. Many people praised (赞赏) his talent. The prince heard about him and gave him a job in the royal court (朝廷). Later, Jiang got an even better job and became rich. He wrote less and less, and his writings were no longer good. People felt sorry for him and used “Jiang Lang’s talent ends” to describe him.
A story says that he had a dream one day. A man said to him, “I have left my pen in your hand for too long. Now it’s time to take it back.” So Jiang took out a colorful pen and returned it to the man. Jiang never wrote a good poem again after having this dream.

When I was a teenager, my parents were never interested in the music I liked. They always said to me, “David, the music you listen to is noisy. Why do you like listening to it so much ” At the same time, they described the music that they liked as “beautiful”.
In fact, they are not the only ones who have this opinion. As I’ve grown older, I’ve often heard my friends say, “Today’s music is terrible.” Many older people just don’t like new music. But why is that
The exposure effect (曝光效应) may explain this. It means the more familiar (熟悉的) we are with something, the more probably we will like it. When we are in our early teens, we usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music and discussing it with our friends. We come to understand the new songs and artists during this time really well. After we become 30 years old, we are busy working and raising our families. We don’t have much time to look for new music. Instead, we like to listen to our old favorite songs that bring us back to our happy and simple days. According to studies, when we are 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring new music.
But I think there is another reason why older people dislike new music. Most popular music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people. Some kinds of music began by young people as ways to fight against out-of-date things. These kinds include punk, rap, hip-hop, heavy metal and more. Younger people love them naturally.
Do your parents hate the music you like, too Now, after reading this article, you know there is nothing wrong with that.
5．According to the passage, many older people dislike new music because ________.
A．it makes them upset and they don’t want to waste their time
B．it sounds terrible and the songs bring them back to sad days
C．they don’t understand the difficult words and hate the artists
D．they don’t know it well and it’s mostly written for the young
6．The underlined word “exploring” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A．looking for B．trying out C．giving up D．setting up
7．What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph
A．New music will become more popular with older people.
B．Older people will try to listen to different kinds of new music.
C．People will know it’s normal that older people dislike new music.
D．More beautiful and simple songs will be written for older people.
8．This passage mainly talks about ________.
A．different kinds of music in the world B．people’s different opinions on new music

This famous poem (诗), Happy Rain on a Spring Night, was written by Du Fu (712—770, the Tang Dynasty) when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful (感谢) to nature and it is shown in this poem.
The very first word, “good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the proper time to come. Here the poet uses personification (拟人), as if the rain was smart enough to come in time for the farmers’ busy season.
When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.
In the third couplet (对句), the poet describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the boat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.
Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom after the rain.

Dopey and Grumpy tells the story of two kids. Dopey often misses something, and Grumpy has a bad temper (脾气). They make many silly mistakes and finally learn a lesson. Ren Rongrong wrote the story in 1956.

What will the future houses be like Will they have gardens on their walls Can they control the houses’ temperature Architects believe that there are many different possibilities. But the only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.
The Tree House: Many architects would like to build a “tree house” like a leaf. The surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The sunlight energy can be used to heat water, drive household machines, and even provide fresh air for the home. The “root” of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the home’s temperature.
The Lizard (蜥蜴) House: Like a lizard, changing colour with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn white to protect it from strong heat. During cloudy days, it turns dark and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy for lighting.
The Garden House: Food production will be one part of the house design. Gardens may appear on the outside walls of the house. People can plant vegetables on them. So they just need to walk outside and collect vegetables every day.
The Self-cleaning House: Things like floor, wall, and sofa in the Self-cleaning House will be cleaned or dried by themselves. People don’t need to clean them or get them dried under the sun, so that they can have more time to rest.

If you walk through the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, you’ll immediately (立即) notice something wonderful about the city: the street art.

On a summer day, a man was sitting under a tree on the bank of a river, watching a group of ducks on the river.
Soon a branch with leaves came drifting (漂浮) among them, and they all flew away. After circling in the air for a little time, they landed again on their feeding ground.
Soon another branch came drifting down among them, and again they took flight from the river. But when they found the branch drifted by without any danger, they flew down to the water as before.
After four or five branches had drifted by in this way, the ducks gave little attention to them. At last, they hardly tried to fly out of their way, even when the branches nearly touched them.
The man who was watching all this, now wanted to know who drifted these branches. He looked up the river, and noticed a fox slyly (偷偷地) watching the ducks. “What will he do next ” thought the man.
When the fox saw that the ducks were no longer afraid of the branches, he took a much larger branch, and hid himself behind it. Then he drifted himself with the larger branch. When he was right among the ducks, he caught two young ducks quickly and swam off with them. The rest of the ducks flew away in fright, and did not come back for a long time.

I went to the volunteer work orientation (培训) at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital in California several days ago.
Before I went there, I thought it was just a meeting for us to learn some information on how to do volunteer work. To my surprise, this meeting lasted for four hours! It told us many things about how to be a good volunteer at hospital.
For example, Shannon C． Graham, the director, told us to keep eye contact while offering help and never wait to be asked but offer help first. She also told us to bend down (弯腰) to listen while patients are talking to show that we’re willing to hear. We should lead them to ask others for help and never say “It is not my business” if we can’t answer their questions.
For the whole meeting, Miss Graham taught us how to satisfy patients through our words, body language and manners. It impressed (使……印象深刻) me a lot. Americans pay so much attention to serving people with a professional attitude (专业的态度).
I suddenly realized why many people feel foreigners are really nice and friendly. They have been trained to do so since they were young. They always ask themselves: How do people feel toward my service How can I improve to let them feel better I really like this kind of culture.
