My hometown Zhengzhou is the capital of Henan Province. It is a modern and busy city. With the development of the economy(经济), it has changed a lot in the past few years.
For one thing, people took tramcars(有轨电车) to go out in the past. But now, many people choose to take the subway. What’s more, taking a taxi becomes very popular. There are some apps on the phone, and some people use them to call taxis. It may be much cheaper.
Besides, the buildings nowadays are different from those in the past. In the past, the tallest building in Zhengzhou was Erqi Memorial Tower (二七纪念塔). It is one of the symbols of Zhengzhou. Now the tallest building in the city is Fu Tower(中原福塔) and you can see tall buildings everywhere in Zhengzhou.

But with the development of the economy, people paid little attention to the importance of plants and fresh air. People cut down many plants and the air got worse.

When I was seven years old, my family made me an ants’ nest(蚂蚁窝). First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then, we waited for the ants to arrive.
After the ants were in the glass box, they started to make tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew well what to do. Each had its own job.
On the fifth day something terrible happened. I put my face so close to the glass box that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants kept alive after the “earthquake”, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the nest.
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand(忍受) the fact that their tunnels were gone.
Although much time has passed, I still think of that ants’ nest. Mum had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.
Years later, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired(钦佩) for their hard work.
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity(逆境) is a natural part of life and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.
Giving up is not a good choice.
6. What did the writer’s family do for him when he was seven
A. They built an ants’ nest.
B. They bought a few ants.
C. They caught a lot of ants.
D. They found an ant city.
7. Which of the following is wrong according to the passage
A. Giving up isn’t a good way when we meet trouble.
B. Like people, teamwork is very important to the ants.
C. The ants didn’t die one by one after the tunnels were gone.
D. The writer knocked the glass box over because he put his face so close to it.
8. In the mother’s opinion, why did the ants die of sadness
A. Because other ants died.
B. Because their tunnels were gone.
C. Because the glass box was broken.
D. Because they were too tired.
9. What has the writer realized recently
A. Working together is useless.
B. Teamwork is important.
C. Adversity is a natural part of life, and must be accepted.
D. Working alone is amazing.
10. What is the best title for the passage
A. Ants fear adversity  B. My family and ants
C. Giving up in adversity  D. Don’t give up anytime

There are many changes in my life. For example, in the past, the factory often put the waste into the river, but now the government has taken action to improve the environment. Besides, people used to live in low and old houses, but now most of them have moved into bright and modern buildings. What's more, a lot of families have their cars now while they travelled only by bike or on foot years ago.
On the other hand, I have changed a lot too. Now, I like reading more than before. Reading not only helps me learn a lot about the world but also helps me relax after class. Also, I am more confident than before. I believe the coming future will be brighter and better!
