There is a young painter named Zhou Xi. She loves to __21__ every corner of her paintings with bright colors and detailed designs. It is __22__ she thinks more is better. One day, she __23__ an old master painter. The master shows her a beautiful landscape painting. Zhou is __24__ to see half of the paper is empty—only a few birds __25__ in the clear sky, and a small boat is on the quiet water.
“Why did you leave (留下) so much space (空间) blank (空白) ” Zhou asks.
The master smiles and says, “Look again. Does the __26__ part make you feel calm ” Zhou Xi looks at the painting carefully. The blank space looks like a wide __27__. The birds are flying in it freely. Suddenly, she feels she can take in fresh air more easily.
“Life is like this painting,” the master says. “If we try to fill every moment with work, study or plans, we’ll feel __28__. Leave some ‘blank space’—time to rest and __29__ so that we can enjoy quietness and let our hearts ‘rest’. Just as the empty sky in the painting makes the flying birds look freer, empty __30__ in life make us more relaxed.”
Zhou agrees. She begins to know that it is a good __31__ to leave space for nothing. So she starts to paint with more “blank space” in her works. Sometimes she draws a lonely mountain with empty air around it; sometimes she leaves a corner of the paper empty. When people look at her paintings, they feel __32__ and think a lot.
Just as a painter needs to leave blank space for __33__, we need to leave time in life for rest and thinking. Don’t fill every minute with much work—__34__ ourselves to be “empty” sometimes. That’s when we can truly see the beauty of peace and find happiness in the __35__ moments. Let’s have a try.
21. A. feel B. fix C. fill D. full

Butterflies are among the most beautiful insects on the earth. Their colorful wings, flying from one flower to another, bring fun to people of all ages. However, they are in big trouble now. Since 2000 the number of butterflies goes down all the time.
Collin Edwards, who works at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, does a study on this worrying situation（状况）. Volunteers play an important role in understanding the situation. They love butterflies and help monitor them. Monitoring here means carefully watching and taking notes of their numbers, living places, and behaviors. This helps scientists like Edwards find out what’s going on.
Three main things let the number of butterflies go down. First, because cities grow and people cut down forests, butterflies’ homes are destroyed. Second, pesticides (杀虫剂) are a big problem. People use pesticides to kill bad insects, but they are also bad for butterflies and other helpful insects. Third, weather change is making things worse. The Earth is getting warmer. This changes the places where butterflies can live. Some of the plants might die because of the warmer weather.
There is something we can do to protect the butterflies. A simple way is to grow flowers. They are good for butterflies in our gardens. These flowers not only give butterflies food but also give them a safe place. We can also tell people to use fewer pesticides and protect butterflies’ living places. By doing these things, we can help save the butterflies.
41. Which picture best shows the change in butterfly number since 2000
42. Why do volunteers monitor butterflies
A. To sell butterflies to scientists.
B. To train butterflies to live in cities.
C. To catch and collect butterflies for research.
D. To record their numbers, living places, and behaviors.
43. Who does the study on the butterfly situation
A. A volunteer from the Washington Department. B. Collin Edwards.
C. A group of butterfly lovers. D. The government.
44. Which of the following is NOT a reason for why the number of butterflies goes down
A. Cities grow and forests are cut down.
B. Pesticides kill harmful and helpful insects.
C. People grow more flowers in gardens.
D. The Earth gets warmer and some plants die.
45. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Butterflies are the most beautiful insects.
B. The number of butterflies is going down for some reasons and how to help.
C. Volunteers help scientists study butterflies.
D. Pesticides are bad for all insects.
C
Jack, a teacher, is very tired after a long, hard day at school.

When he gets home, he tells his wife about it. His wife agrees that this is very strange. She also says she won’t say a word, or her husband will be the talk of the town!

“We hear that yesterday a heron flew out of your mouth, and some other kinds of birds too. And a river of water with fish of all kinds in it! We want to see you do it again!” A boy speaks up.
Jack sighs (叹气) and puts his books on the desk.

The Sound of Trees
Everyone has their own way to protect our earth—some pick up rubbish, and others stop using plastic bags. But for composer(a person who writes music)Liang Haoyi, he chooses music. Through his new work Tree, Liang asks people to protect trees and respect nature.
Tree is made up of five parts. The first part brings people into a lively forest. People hear sweet birdsong with the sound of leaves waving gently in the wind. When the forest turns quiet, a cello starts to sing softly. It sounds like a tree telling its peaceful life story. In the next part, the music becomes faster. It brings to head the sad scene of people cutting down trees one by one. People can’t see the forest slowly as the music goes on. Then, the third part shows how people feel sorry for cutting down trees. They start to ask themselves what they should do to make things right. A strong part comes after that. People take action to plant more trees and build the nature again. The last part is filled with bright tunes(曲调), with people bringing back the green mountains.
Before he starts writing Tree, Liang takes a walk into the forests, with his ears fully open. The beautiful sounds of trees, birds and the wind are like a special gift to his ears, giving him lots of ideas for his music.
Liang hopes people can hear the information in his music. “To some people, one tree may seem unimportant, but a forest starts to lose its life as soon as the first tree falls,” He said. “I hope everyone will care for every tree. If we all work on it together, small trees can grow into great forests, and forests can grow into green mountains.”
