Last week，our school organized an activity called "Donate your love!".Most of us were kind and took out our lucky money and pocket money.We put the money into the donation box one by one.After that，the headmaster gave a speech.He told us the total amount of the money raised by us and the lives of the children in the mountains.We also watched a short film about children's life and study in the mountains.What terrible condition they are in!At that time，I realized the donation box contained not only money，but our love for the children in poor mountainous areas.The money we donated would become those children's schoolbags，clothes，books，or one of the bricks to build a new school，so that they could live a better life.
In the evening，my mother said， "I will show you some pictures of the children in the mountains，then you may know how lucky you are." She found some pictures for me on the website，and I found that it was even worse than I had imagined：old books，clothes made of a few pieces of cloth，mud walls，small pencil heads，broken tables and chairs.Tears came to my eyes.What impressed me most was a little girl，who held a pencil only two centimeters long in her hand but still focused on her studies.And the books on the table were simply tattered，which had been used a lot over a long period of time.I didn't know what to say for a moment.However，that made me love my present life more.
The children in the mountains dream of studying in bright big classrooms，but their poor lives break their dreams.The children in the mountains wish to play football happily on the playground，but the poor conditions stop them from realizing this wish.They don't have the power to change，but we do.
26.Which statement is true about Paragraph 2？ ______
A. My mom showed me the pictures in order to make me cry.

C. I cried because their living conditions were so hard.
D. I wanted to go to the mountains with my mother to help them.
27.What does the underlined word "tattered" mean in Paragraph 2？ ______
A. Brand-new. B. Second-hand. C. Old-fashioned. D. Old and torn.
28.According to the passage，which of the following will the writer do？ ______
A. He will stop donating any money to the children in the mountains.
B. He will try hard to help the children in the mountains.
C. He will ask the headmaster and the other teachers to donate more money.
D. He will go to the poor areas to work as a teacher in the future.

Shadow puppet plays are known as the pioneer of Chinese animation and have a history of more than one thousand years.They are listed in UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage and have a great effect on the development of modern Chinese animation.Early shadow puppets were made of paper，but later people chose leather to make them，for this material is more long-lasting and easy to color.The puppets are cut into different shapes of humans，animals and things，and some have moveable arms，legs and even fingers.
During a performance，puppeteers stand behind a white screen with a light behind it.They hold the puppets close to the screen and move them freely，while speaking the lines for different characters at the same time.The audience can see the clear shadow images and listen to the interesting stories，just like enjoying an animated film.Today，this ancient folk art is in danger of disappearing，so local artists put new parts into the plays，and some use digital lighting to create special visual effects，others mix modern dance moves into traditional performances to draw young people's attention.

It is said that two-thirds of our communication is through body language.Teachers' body language to students is important too.Positive body language in a classroom can encourage students to learn better.It can make your students feel safe and confident enough to take part in the lessons.It can also make your students believe that you are kind and always there to help them.Below are some positive body languages you can use in class.
1 Eye Contact
Eye contact is one of the best ways to connect with your students and keep their mind on class.Looking at one student for about 15-30 seconds before changing to another student.Your students may listen more carefully when they know you're speaking to them.It also helps them feel that they are noticed.
2 Keep Your Arms Open
An open body position shows an invitation.It welcomes brainstorming and new ideas.It also keeps your students' mind on your words and therefore they will be more likely to hear what you say.
