Have you heard about Journey to the West It’s a super famous Chinese story. When new games or cartoons about it come out, more people around the world get interested in this classic story.
The story was written long ago. It’s about the monk Tang Sanzang. He took a long journey with his followers, like the Monkey King Sun Wukong. They faced lots of dangers to find important Buddhist books. This story is so popular! It has been made into many movies and TV shows. Also, it gives us some really interesting literary idioms that show how brave and clever Wukong is.
The Golden Gaze of Fiery Eyes
Once, Wukong made trouble in Heaven. As a punishment (惩罚), he was locked in a hot stove (炉子). After that, he got a special ability—“the golden gaze of fiery eyes”. With this, he can see monsters (怪物) that hide themselves. Today, we use this phrase for someone who’s really good at finding lies or bad things. For example, Mum has “the golden gaze of fiery eyes”. She always ▲ .
72 Transformations
The Monkey King learned “72 Transformations” from Master Puti. He could turn into a bird, a tree, or even a temple! Now, we use “72 Transformations” to talk about someone who can fit in well in different situations.
Riding the Clouds and Driving the Mist
In Journey to the West, Wukong has a magic cloud called Jindouyun. With it, he can travel far quickly. This phrase first described Wukong’s magic flight. Now, it means moving very fast. For example, if a horse runs very fast, we can say, “This horse looks like it is riding the clouds and driving the mist!”
These fun phrases from Journey to the West help us see how amazing traditional Chinese stories are. Let’s keep exploring them!
19. What does the underlined word “it” refer to
A．A new game. B．Journey to the West. C．A cartoon. D．A TV show.

B．reminds me to wear warm clothes in winter
C．helps me pick the best clothes for school events
D．finds out when I hide my poor test scores from her
21. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．New films about Journey to the West make fewer people interested in the story.
B．Wukong got the golden gaze of fiery eyes after learning from Master Puti.
C．We can use “72 Transformations” to describe someone good at finding lies.
D．The magic cloud Jindouyun lets Wukong travel far in a short time.
22. What does the subheading “Riding the Clouds and Driving the Mist” probably mean in Chinese
A．云消雾散 B．吞云吐雾 C．云遮雾绕 D．腾云驾雾

Slides (滑梯) are simple but always fun. All you need to do is climb up to the top and slide down. But do you know that there is science behind this simple playground equipment (设备)
① You climb up the slide and sit down. You are ready to go. Are you sliding down No, not yet. Things stay still (静止的) unless something makes them move. It is Newton’s first law. So you have to give yourself a push to start the journey down. ② Now you are sliding down. Do you feel you are slowing down a bit When two things rub (摩擦) against each other, they cause friction (摩擦力). Without friction, you will slide down faster and faster to the bottom. ③ At the bottom of the slide, you come to a full stop. Your feet touch the ground and add extra (额外的) friction. Newton’s first law also says moving things keep moving unless something makes them stop. So, if you do not use your feet, you’ll fly off the slide.
Isaac Newton said what goes up must come down. He was talking about gravity. Slides work because of gravity. But that is not all.
23. Which picture explains why you slow down a bit when sliding down
24. What will happen if you do not use your feet at the bottom of the slide
A．You will stay still. B．You will stop at once.
C．You will add extra friction. D．You will slide uncontrollably.
25. What is the best title for the passage
A．Fun with a Slide B．Science behind a Slide C．Newton’s First Law D．Secrets of Gravity

Make a change.
___28___ You may get used to reading history books or you just take an interest in science fiction. What about the books about culture You’ll never know until you try. Give a new style a chance and you may enter a whole new world of reading.
Read reviews.
Book reviews can help you decide whether a book is for you. There are usually short reviews on the covers of books. ___29___ Some websites provide book advice from writers, parents and teachers. Some people’s opinions about the books are very interesting. Their ideas may help you get a right pick.
