My Project: Explore Good Books and Share Reading Joy
My name is Li Hua. I am in Grade 8. Last month, our English teacher asked us to do a Project called “Explore Good Books and Share Reading Joy”. Our goal was to find out different types of good books, record our reading feelings, and share our findings to help everyone fall in love with reading.
At first, I didn’t know how to choose good books and take reading notes. For the Project, I joined a group of four classmates. We went to the school library to borrow books, asked our teacher for recommendations, and shared our reading progress every week. We found that there are many kinds of good books, such as novels, storybooks and science books, and each type can bring us different joys.
We also made a reading handbook, which includes book recommendations, reading tips and our reading notes. We wrote down how to choose suitable books and how to take useful notes to help our classmates read better. When we showed our handbook to the class, our teacher praised us for our hard work and said it was helpful for everyone.
Through this Project, I learned a lot about reading and realized that sharing reading joy can make happiness double. I hope more people can explore good books and enjoy the pleasure of reading.

Nowadays, people usually shake hands when they meet each other. Do the Chinese always greet others like this In fact, handshaking was introduced to our country around 100 years ago.
There were several kinds of greeting etiquette in ancient China. Among them the fist and palm salute (拱手礼) was a quite common one, with a history of about 3,000 years. It was first used by people in the Western Zhou Dynasty. In ancient times, if people met a stranger, their hands were always ready to hold something used for fighting. Holding out both hands could make people feel relaxed.
When people meet, men usually use their left hand to hold the right one. It’s believed that people considered (认为) the left as the important side for men in Chinese history. While for women, the important side is the right. So when they give the fist and palm salute, they should put their right hand on top. When someone presents the fist and palm salute to you, you are supposed to do it back as well.
In many wuxia or kung fu TV series and movies, people greet each other with the hold-fist salute, or baoquan in Chinese. The gesture (手势) is that the right hand is made a fist, while the left hand is to cover the right fist. It’s similar to the fist and palm salute, but they are different. Baoquan is widely used among kung fu masters (大师) and students. So, don’t make a mistake.
11. What does the underlined word “etiquette” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Time. B．Need. C．Groups. D．Manners.
12. What is the correct way for a woman to do a fist and palm salute
A．Make both hands into fists. B．Put her left hand on top.
C．Put her right hand on the top. D．Use her left hand to hold the right one.
13. How is baoquan different from the fist and palm salute
A．It has a longer history. B．It uses only one hand.
C．It is a new way to greet. D．It is used in kung fu culture.
14. In which part of a newspaper can we read this text
A．Culture Corner. B．Sports News. C．World History. D．Science Study.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A．The History of Handshaking
B．Ancient Chinese Greeting Customs
C．Different Western Ways of Greeting
D．The Difference Between Baoquan and Handshaking
