Madrid is a popular place to visit. It's a city with lots of different things: old buildings and new tall buildings.
History
Madrid has more than 3 million people. It has a really big palace, the biggest in Western Europe. Many people think it's the most beautiful building in Madrid. The palace has 2,800 rooms, and they're all fancy with nice furniture and art. Tourists can visit 50 of these big, pretty rooms.
Shopping
Madrid has some of the best shopping malls in Europe. People like to look for good deals in the stores. There's also a huge outdoor flea market called the Rastro. It's been around for 500 years. You can find all kinds of things there, like old stuff and CDs.
Entertainment
When you go to Madrid, you should see a flamenco show. Flamenco is a famous Spanish art. Performers sing, dance, and play guitars in small cafes and big theaters every day.
Food
Madrid has lots of different restaurants, but Spanish people usually eat dinner late, around 9 or 10 p.m. So, it's hard to find good dinner food earlier. If you get hungry before that, you can go to a tapas bar. They serve small snacks. Make sure you try jamon, which is a special kind of ham. Spain is famous for it.

Maybe no one understands the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu was a full-time computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi. He only wrote science fiction in his free time. But it was during this time that his imagination really took off. He did things he might never get to do in real life—like traveling in space, fighting aliens, and visiting faraway planets.
Even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, who is 55 years old, probably didn't expect that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award in 2015. That's the top prize in science fiction. He might also have never imagined that former US President Barack Obama would read his book The Three-Body Problem, or that he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society on November 9 in Washington DC. This was the first time a Chinese writer had ever won this award.
In his speech when he accepted the award, Liu said that his imagination came from Arthur C. Clarke, a famous UK sci-fi writer. He said that reading Clarke's book 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s changed his life.
"My mind opened up in a way it never had before. I felt like a small river finally seeing the ocean," Liu said. "That night, the night sky looked completely different to me. For the first time, I was amazed by how mysterious the universe is."
But even though Liu's imagination takes him to faraway places, his books always make sense. In The Three-Body Problem, for example, he tells a story about aliens coming to Earth. But instead of just focusing on the aliens, he talks about how different civilizations interact, the rules of survival, and what life means. In another book, The Wandering Earth, he thinks about what will happen when our solar system ends and humans need to find a new home. But all his ideas are based on real science. Liu's books aren't just dreams—they're grounded in facts.
4.What do we know about Liu Cixin
A. He became a full-time writer when he was young.
B. He is the first Asian to win the Arthur Clarke Award.
C. He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.
D. He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.

Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research shows that scientists who work hard are more inspiring than those who seem naturally smart.
In a few studies, researchers found that young people are more motivated by scientists whose success comes from hard work than those who seem naturally brilliant, even if that scientist is Albert Einstein.
Danfei Hu, a student at Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann, a professor at William Paterson University, said their findings could help explain what it takes to succeed in science. Their research was recently published in a science journal.
Many students want to study science in school, but some give up on science careers after college. To help with this problem, Hu and Ann looked at role models, who can show students what goals to aim for and how to achieve them.
The researchers did two studies, one with 176 people and the other with 162 people. In the first study, everyone read the same story about a scientist's struggles. Half were told it was about Einstein, and the other half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Even though the stories were the same, people thought Einstein's success was because he was a genius. But those who thought the story was about Edison were more motivated to solve math problems.
Hu said, "People usually see Einstein as a genius, and they think his success is because he was super talented." But Edison is known for trying over 1,000 times to make the light bulb, and his success is linked to hard work. Hu added, "If students know that hard work can lead to great things, they'll be more confident in pursuing science careers."
8.What kind of scientist is more inspiring
A. Those who made important discoveries.
B. Those who were born with a gift.
C. Those who are viewed as great inventors.
D. Those who are famous for their hard work.
9.What is the concern in the science community
A. The students will drop out of school soon.
B. There are fewer role models for students to follow.
C. Fewer students will continue to work on science.
D. Some scientists cannot give students specific goals.
10.Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems
A. They knew the problems were given by Edison.
B. They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.
C. They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.
D. They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.
11.What is the best title for the text
A. Einstein Is Less Encouraging than Edison
B. Einstein's Success Story
C. How to Be a Great Scientist
D. Edison's Achievements Are Greater
D
When we're little, we learn that tigers and sharks are scary animals. They're big and strong, so we might be afraid of them. But as we grow up, we find out that sometimes the smallest animals can be the most dangerous. In fact, the animal that hurts the most people is one we all know: the mosquito.
Not all mosquitoes bite people. Male mosquitoes eat nectar from plants. But female mosquitoes need animal blood. When a female mosquito bites a person, it puts its saliva into the person's blood. This saliva might have a deadly disease in it. Sometimes the bite just makes you itch, but other times it can be very serious and even cause death.
Mosquitoes bite a lot of people in their lives. They can easily spread diseases from one person to another. Every year, over 700 million people get sick from these diseases, and at least 2 million people die from them.
Some people use mosquito nets over their beds to keep mosquitoes away. Mosquitoes also have natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and some fish. If we bring more of these animals to places where mosquitoes live, it might help reduce the number of mosquitoes. But this doesn't always work well. We can also use sprays or poisons to kill mosquitoes, but these can hurt other plants or animals too.
Even though mosquitoes don't look as scary as big animals, they're actually more dangerous to people. But things are changing. Scientists are working hard, and one day they might find a way to protect everyone from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.
12.Why does the passage mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks
A. To compare different animals.
B. To lead into the topic about mosquitoes.
C. To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are.
D. To show people's misunderstanding of dangerous animals.
13.What can we learn about mosquitoes
A. Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans.
B. The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases.
C. Male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits.
D. More than 700 million people die from the diseases carried by the mosquitoes.
14.What's paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes.
B. Some useful measures are taken to kill mosquitoes.
C. There is no perfect solution to the mosquito problem.
D. Mosquitoes' natural enemies could protect human beings.
15.What's the author's attitude towards the future of solving the mosquito problem
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Negative.

My Dad's Best Flower
I remember my first home was a small apartment on the second floor with a nice, big balcony. When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony and watch the kids playing in the street. On that balcony, I sometimes played with my older sister, Maria. She was seven years old and acted like a mom to me when my mom wasn't around. The balcony was a special place for my dad. After work, he would grow carnations in flower boxes there. His carnations were red, pink, and white, and everyone liked them because they were so pretty.
He took really good care of them. He was very careful with his flowers, like a mom taking care of a baby. Many times, I sat on the balcony floor for hours and watched him and his flowers. He was always busy there. He watered the flowers every day, cleaned the floor, changed the soil, and when the stems were thick, strong, and tall enough, he would carefully work on them like a doctor.
My dad took a small knife and held the stem of the carnation with his left hand. He checked how tall it was and made a little mark with his finger. Then he made a quick cut with the knife, just big enough to put in a little piece of barley. After that, he wrapped the stem with a small bandage. He had to water the plants and take care of them. "No one should touch them," he told Mom. Every day, when he came home from work, he went straight to the balcony.
Mom always told us, "Don't touch Daddy's flowers." It was really fun to watch the little stems grow and make flowers. When the carnations got big enough, my dad loved looking at them every day. We kids did too.

Dear Li Hua, I know you are feeling very nervous about the upcoming college entrance exam. Remember, it's important to stay calm and focused. Here are a few suggestions to help you: First, make sure to get enough sleep and eat well. Second, take short breaks during your study sessions to avoid burnout. Finally, believe in yourself and your abilities. You have worked hard and are well-prepared. I'm sure you will do great. Keep going, Li Hua! You can do this! Sincerely, Li Hua.
Paragraph 1: One day, my elder sister, who loved Dad very much, had a great idea. She decided to pick some of the most beautiful carnations from Dad's collection to make a bouquet for him. She thought it would be a nice surprise and a way to show her appreciation for all the hard work he put into his flowers. So, she carefully picked a few carnations of each color and arranged them in a beautiful bouquet. She then left the bouquet on the balcony, hoping to surprise Dad when he returned home.
Paragraph 2: When my dad arrived, he went as usual, straight to the balcony and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals. At first, he was shocked and upset, wondering what had happened to his beloved flowers. But then he noticed the beautiful bouquet and realized that someone had picked the flowers to make a gift for him. He immediately recognized the handiwork of my sister and was touched by her thoughtfulness. Although he was sad to see the flowers he had tended to for so long lying on the floor, he was also happy and proud that his daughter appreciated his efforts. He carefully picked up the bouquet and brought it inside, where he displayed it prominently. From that day on, he continued to tend to his flowers with the same love and care, but he also made sure to spend more time with his family, teaching us about the beauty and importance of nature.
