Like many kids last summer. I learned to ride a bike. Only I am in my 30s. When I was a child, I had no one to teach me. Both of my parents made a living in a big city.
When my brother and I were made fun of because we were the only kids over six who still depended on training wheels, my grandfather took them away. But I lost interest in riding. I was so scared—I was quite tall for my age at 7 and I was worried I’d fall off. I thought I was too old to learn.
Not knowing how to ride didn’t bring me any trouble at first, until we moved to the suburbs, where bicycles were popular. On trips to the convenience store to buy candy with my friends, I was always the last to arrive, on foot. By then, I was 12 years old.
In my early 30s, I remembered feeling envious as I watched children as young as 3 learn to ride bikes. They balanced easily on their bikes, riding around the park with big smiles while I could only sit on a bench and watch. Then something changed. The fear within was still there, but something much stronger was taking over. I decided to join a women’s bike-riding organization. There, I stood in a park, decided to overcome my fear. Meeting women from different backgrounds, all searching for cycling skills with different reasons, made my determination (决心) stronger. Before long, I was riding confidently.
With the joy of riding, I bought my own bike, not just for getting around but to get back lost time. It wasn’t simply a bike; it meant a chance I missed earlier. I completely lost myself in the experience, enjoying the beautiful scenery.
34．The writer lost interest in riding a bike because________.
A．she was scared without training wheels B．there was no need for her to do it
C．her grandpa didn’t support her anymore D．no one taught her how to ride a bike
35．What made the writer finally decide to learn to ride a bike
A．Moving to the countryside. B．Being the last one to the store.
C．Watching young kids ride bikes. D．Buying a bike for herself.
36．In the writer’s mind, the bike was________.
A．a sense of the freedom B．a tool for making money
C．a connection with others D．a way to recall her past time
37．How is the passage mainly organized
A．By telling the story in time order. B．By asking and answering questions.
C．By showing different opinions. D．By listing facts and giving reasons.
Gulliver’s Travels is a well-known adventure novel written by the famous writer Jonathan Swift. It follows the amazing experiences of Lemuel Gulliver, a kind and curious ship’s doctor who has a great passion for sailing and exploring the world. The book mainly tells his four unbelievable journeys to magical and imaginary countries, full of surprises and fun.
On his first voyage, a terrible storm destroys his ship. Gulliver swims to safety and wakes up in Lilliput, a land of tiny people who are just six inches tall. He is caught and tied tightly with thousands of small ropes. Later, he uses his big size to help the Lilliputians win a war against their enemy island, becoming their hero at first.
Next, he is left on a strange island during his second trip and arrives in Brobdingnag, the land of giants. The giants are as tall as mountains! Gulliver becomes a little “living toy” for them. He meets many dangers: he is almost eaten by a huge cat and has to fight terrible small animals.
In his third journey, he visits several weird islands. One island is run by silly scientists who only care about useless experiments and can’t take care of their daily lives.
Finally, he reaches the land of the Houyhnhnms. These are wise, gentle horses who live in peace. They rule the ugly, rude human-like creatures called Yahoos. Gulliver loves the horses’ honest life and feels sorry for human beings’ bad behaviors.
Through these exciting stories, Swift not only brings us fun and laughter, but also lets us think about people’s good and bad sides, society and politics. It is a great classic adventure book and a smart satire, still popular and meaningful for readers today.

Have you ever experienced endless work, great pressure, or carried high expectations Don’t worry! HALT, which stands for hungry, angry, lonely and tired, can help you deal with your emotions. When you feel bad, ask yourself if you have the following problems: hunger, anger, loneliness, or tiredness, and then do with them first.
Feeling mad may be caused by hunger. When you’re hungry, your blood sugar drops. You may become absent-minded, lose your temper and feel bad. The lower your blood sugar, the worse your mood. You can eat healthy snacks or fruit to balance it.
When you’re angry with someone or something, just stop thinking about the problems. Taking deep breaths and writing down your feelings in a notebook are both good choices. Such simple actions can help you cool down and avoid saying or doing something you might regret later.
Feeling lonely makes you sad or anxious. Chat with friends or family, or join clubs to meet new people. When tired, your brain works slowly. Change your pace: study 25 minutes, rest 5 minutes. Dance or close your eyes. Sleep early to refresh.
To manage these feelings, you can also prepare a HALT first-aid kit. It is just as the saying goes, “________”. The things you put in your kit may include some snacks, a stress ball, a list of “happy songs” and even a comfortable sweater. After all, taking good care of our bodies helps our mind stay stronger. Let's make good use of HALT. Through controlling our emotions well, we can make better decisions in our lives.
42．According to the passage, what can you do if you feel angry
A．Practice breathing exercises. B．Keep focusing on the problem.
C．Eat some healthy snacks or fruits. D．Go to bed early for refreshing.

These robots are developed and made by Unitree Technology, a top robot company in China. The Unitree G1 robots can do very difficult actions, such as drunken boxing, nunchaku (双节棍) and parkour (跑酷). They perform on stage with students from Tagou Martial Arts School, which is one of the most famous kung fu schools in China. With high-precision control and stable design, the robots move smoothly and work well with human performers.

Wu BOT is not only an interesting stage show. It brings together traditional Chinese culture and modern technology in a creative way. It helps young people look at kung fu from a new point of view.

Decades ago, the streets were narrow with small houses and few vehicles. People mainly walked or rode bikes. Now, tall modern buildings stand everywhere. High-speed trains and cars make travel fast and convenient. People’s lives are richer and more comfortable.
I really like these changes because they show our city’s fast development and bring us a better life. I feel proud of my hometown.
