阅读理解

    England has roses, the Netherlands has tulips, and India has lotuses. When you think of a particular country, its national flower might come to mind.

    More than 100 countries have a national flower. But China, despite many beautiful flowers, does not.

    China once had national flowers. During the Qing dynasty, it was the peony (牡丹). The government of the Republic of China later changed it to the plum blossom (梅 花). But after the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, a national flower was not chosen.

    Debate over which flower should represent China continues today. China's two former national flowers—the peony and the plum blossom, remain as the two most popular choices.

    Compared with small plum blossoms, the peony has large blossoms and vivid colors. Supporters of the peony think they represent China's continuing rise.

    However, plum blossom supporters argue that the peony is often connected with chasing wealth and fame, which is not encouraged. On the contrary, the plum blossom has very noble (高洁的) qualities. It is said to be modest and persistent, as it is able to grow even during cold winters.

    Some people have suggested that both flowers could be China's national flowers. One country, two flowers, you might say. China is just so big geographically, and both flowers are popular. Li Qingwei, an associate professor at Beijing Forestry University, told China Daily. So why not let both become national flowers? That would be harmonious (和谐的).

A、Different countries have different national flowers. B、More than 100 countries have a national flower. C、No national flower has been chosen since 1949. D、Which flower should be china's national flower.
(2)、It's known from the text that the earliest national flower in China was      .
A、during the Qing dynasty. B、in time of the Republic of China. C、before the Qing dynasty. D、after the founding of PRC
(3)、Why do plum blossom supporters disagree that the peony is choosing as a national flower?
A、It has large blossoms and vivid colors. B、It is able to grow even during the winter. C、It has something to do with wealth and fame. D、It is said to be modest and persistent.
(4)、Which of the following can best summarize Li Qingwei's idea?
A、That would be harmonious. B、One country two flowers. C、Both flowers are popular. D、China is just so big geographically.

Doorbells are the bells (铃) for people to ring at a door. When someone hears it, he or she can open the door. Do you know that you can ring a doorbell for fish, too? 

Every spring, millions of fish migrate (洄游) along the river in the city to find better places to lay eggs. But in the river, there are many locks (水闸). They stop fish from swimming through. Weerd Lock is in Utrecht, the fourth largest city in the Netherlands (荷兰). When fish get there, they have to wait a long time before the lock opens for boats to pass through. The lock keeper there is glad to open the lock for fish, but he cannot tell when fish want to get through. So in 2021, Mark van Heukelum, a scientist, came up with a good idea to help solve this problem—by using the fish doorbell. 

Under the water near the lock, there's a camera. People from around the world can visit a website (网站) to see fish through the camera. When you see a group of fish waiting, you can ring the doorbell on the screen. And when the lock keeper notices it, he will open the lock for the fish. 

In its first spring season in 2021, people around the world rang the fish doorbell more than 100,000 times. If you want to join them to help fish, visit the website and ring the fish doorbell next spring.

①Hello! My name is Emma and I'm eleven years old. I have a brother, Josh, who's just five. I live with my family on a farm in the southwest of England. I was born in London, but my parents moved to Devon when I was two. My brother was born here, in Northam. My father runs the farm and my mother is a vet (兽医). We have lots of animals on our farm like ducks, chickens, pigs, sheep, cows and horses.

②I love living in the country. I don't mind getting up early every day. I'm old enough to help my parents with the work on the farm. I love feeding ducks and chickens. It's not difficult at all. It takes me about a quarter of an hour to give them fodder every morning, but first I have breakfast myself. Sometimes I also help my dad milk the cows, especially on weekends.

③My brother and I go to a local primary school (小学). My mother always drives us to school and picks us up when lessons are over, at 3 o'clock.

④On Wednesdays, I have a karate (空手道) class so I go back home by bus. When I come back, I do my homework first and then help my parents with the animals or in the garden. We usually have dinner at six o'clock. After dinner, I often play computer games or watch TV. Before I go to bed, I always read for a while but not too long because I have to get up early the next day.
