Norway(挪威) is close to the North Pole(北极). It is very cold there in winter. There is only a little sunshine every day.
To most people in Norway, skiing is the best way to have fun in winter. Almost everyone likes skiing. Children learn to ski soon after they learn to walk.
Long long ago in Norway, there were no buses or trains. People had to find a way to walk over the deep snow. Skis were the right answer! Today Norwegians ski just for fun. Some of Norway's young men and women are among the best skiers in the world. They are outstanding and they have won many prizes.
Although they love winter, the people of Norway are happy when summer comes. They enjoy outdoor activities at any time of the year. In summer, they swim and sunbathe. Some people go hiking and mountain climbing. The short summer months are busy ones for Norwegian farmers, too. In summer in the north part of Norway, the sun doesn't set at all for many days. That is why Norway is often called the “Land of the Midnight Sun”.

Curiosity is a powerful force that drives people to achieve great things. It is the desire(愿望) to know more, to explore, and to understand the world around us.
Throughout history, curious people have made amazing discoveries. For example, Galileo Galilei was curious about the stars and the planets. He used a telescope to observe(观察) the sky and made many important discoveries about the solar system. His curiosity changed the way people thought about the universe.
Curiosity can also lead to personal growth. When we are curious, we may learn new skills and gain new knowledge. We may try new hobbies, read different kinds of books, or meet new people. All these experiences can open up our eyes and make us better persons.
In addition, curiosity can improve our relationships. When we are curious about others, we show that we care about them. We ask questions, listen to their stories, and try to understand their opinions. This can help us build stronger connections with people.
But we need to keep curiosity in balance. We shouldn't be too curious about things that don't relate to(相关) us, like other people's personal lives. Also, we should use curiosity for good things, not to hurt anyone or cause trouble.

( )65.What should we pay attention to when we have curiosity

D.Only be curious about our own lives.

①Spring is the most exciting season of the year! Besides the warm weather, there are many cool things to learn about this time of year.
②During spring, the weather can be very changeable(变化无常的). This happens because warm air from the south and cold air from the north are fighting, making it impossible to know the exact weather.
③Many baby animals are born in spring. Deer, squirrels(松鼠), foxes, and even whales welcome their little ones during this season. The warm sunshine and enough food make it the perfect time for young animals to grow strong.
④Spring doesn't start at the same time everywhere. In the Northern Hemisphere(半球), spring begins in March. But in the Southern Hemisphere, like Australia, spring starts in September. So, while people in one part of the world enjoy spring flowers, others might be jumping into autumn leaves!
⑤This season shows that nature and life always keep changing, bringing new surprises every year!
( )66.Why are many baby animals born in spring
A.Because they can sleep more at night.
B.Because they will have fewer enemies.

The Yellow River, known as China's “Mother River”, is over 5,400 kilometres starting from the Qinghai Tibet Plateau to the Bohai Sea. It gets its name from the yellow mud(泥土) it carries from the Loess Plateau(黄土高原). This rich mud is perfect for farming.
For many years, Chinese farmers grew crops like rice and wheat(小麦) along its banks. Early Chinese emperors even built their capitals near the river. That's why it's called the “cradle of Chinese civilisation(中华文明的摇篮)”.
But the Yellow River is also called “China's Big Problem”. Why Its floods once destroyed villages and crops. That was the biggest challenge for ancient people. To control the river, ancient people built walls along its sides. Later, modern dams(大坝) like the Xiaolangdi Dam helped stop floods.
Today, the river faces new challenges: pollution and water shortage(短缺). Millions of people need its water to drink and farm. Taking good care of this river is key to China's future.
( )69.Where does the Yellow River start
A.The Bohai Sea. B.The Loess Plateau.
C.The Qinghai Tibet Plateau. D.The Qinghai Lake.
( )70.Why is the Yellow River called the “cradle of Chinese civilisation”?

Every time I go whitewater rafting(漂流), I think of an explorer named John Wesley Powell. He was a great person in the American West. Powell was very brave. He never cared about getting in a boat and rowing down a river he didn't know. On the way, he studied geology, plants and wild animals, and taught himself a lot about nature.
In 1860, Powell joined the army in the Civil War. He was injured and lost his right arm. When the wound was cured, he went back into war! In 1865, he retired as a major(上校).
Powell worked as a geology teacher, but he never went to college. During this time, he began to develop a risky plan. He wanted to explore the Grand Canyon by rafting the Colorado River. No one had done such a thing before.
In May of 1869, Powell set out with ten men on the Green River in Wyoming for a long trip. Everyone thought they would be in great danger.
No wonder! They were facing the unknown with every turn of the river. No one knew what dangers were ahead. But Powell refused to give up. He had courage and carefulness. He did what he set out to do. He saw one of the most surprising natural landforms(地貌) on Earth from the river's side. And he lived to tell people about his experience.

Here's a story about Lila, a 19 year old nature explorer. Last summer, she planned to explore a hidden forest to find rare wild flowers. It was her biggest goal for that year.
However, she faced a great difficulty. Heavy rain made the path hard to walk on. She almost gave up, but she stuck to her plan by using branches as walking sticks to keep balance. In the end, her effort paid off. She found the beautiful flowers and took photos to record them.
Lila is truly admirable. Her story teaches me that as long as we keep trying, we can achieve our goals, even in the face of difficulties.
