阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项回答问题或完成句子。

Few parents can hear the words "What can I do to help?" from their kids. Teenagers spend more time on video games, computers and mobile phones, so they help less with housework.

Students at a primary school in Fuzhou, East China's Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits. But some parents are strongly against the idea. They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores. They think that the school should provide students with a proper education, not the chance to be school cleaners.

In fact, parents, schools and society play an equally (同等地) important role in developing the character of students. It is good for schools to give students such tasks, because few of the students will do them at home. Their parents want them to do homework only.

In recent years, some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools. Some will complain the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools; some will even challenge the schools' teaching methods and management. As a result, many primary schools, especially those in big cities, do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks, fearing that they might get hurt. This is bad for the development of students' best qualities.

What the primary school in Fuzhou doing is worth praising. Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility (责任感) into students' minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork. Also, it can make students' in-school experiences more meaningful.

(1)、It can be learned from the first paragraph that teenagers today          .
A、spend more time on housework. B、are happy to help with housework when they are at home. C、hardly ever do housework.
(2)、To help the students develop good habits, the primary school in Fuzhou required the students to          .
A、finish homework at school B、clean the school toilets C、become school cleaners
(3)、What is writer's attitude to the idea of the primary school in Fuzhou?
A、He doesn't care. B、He is strongly against it. C、He agrees with what the school is doing.
(4)、What does the underlined phrase "make mountains out of molehills" mean?
A、愚公移山 B、山穷水尽 C、小题大做
(5)、Which is the best title for the passage?
A、Kids Should Study as Well as Doing Housework B、Doing House work Has Nothing to Do with Students C、Let Students Do All the Housework

Love, joy and the warm feeling of getting together don't cost a thing. But gifts do cost money. So what should a poor family do?

When I was 10, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted for the New Year was a pogo stick (弹簧单高跷). However, my mother said it was so expensive that we couldn't afford one.

On a Saturday before New Year, my family went shopping together. While my mother and I were picking out the gifts, my dad said, "I'll be back soon-I need to see something in the tool area." A moment later, he came back with a long box. I remembered wondering if there was a pogo stick in it.

When we arrived home, my dad put the box in the garage. While my parents were busy with their chores, I quietly walked out to the garage and found the box. I was so excited and I knew as soon as I opened that magical box, my bright, shiny pogo stick would appear. No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom (扫帚).

That New Year morning, I got some gifts like a tiger toy and a saving pot, but I didn't get the present that I really wanted. How upset I felt at that moment though I didn't want my parents to see!

After cleaning up the room, my dad went to the garage. When he came back, he was carrying a beautiful pogo stick. I couldn't believe it! My parents probably got quite a laugh from the trick they played on me.

Although we didn't have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all: lots of love. That was over 60 years ago and I still think about those wonderful memories. They were full of my childhood. I will never forget all the joy my parents brought into my life.

Liu Zhenxiang, or Dasuo, wanted to be a comedian(喜剧演员) when he was young. In middle school, he turned a story in his Chinese book into a comedy. And it won a prize(奖) in a competition(比赛) for middle school students.

At the age of eighteen, he started a club and wrote comedies for the club. His comedies were very popular with teachers and students.

After he finished the study, Liu decided to work as an actor. However, a friend told him that it was difficult to be a great actor and that he should first find a stable(稳定的) job.

Then Liu started to work in a bank in Shenyang. But he found the job boring. A year later, he decided to do something he really loved.

Liu started to write comedies for a troupe(表演团) in Shenyang for free in his free time. With his help, the troupe joined in an important competition for young actors in China. Because of that, he started to write comedies for TV shows. He worked in the bank in the day and wrote comedies at night. He was tired but happy.

In 2017, Liu joined an online show called Brain Boom. Then he left his job and moved to Beijing. At first, he had a hard time in Beijing, but he didn't lose heart. Later, he joined Super Sketch Show and made a big name.

In the end, Liu made his dream come true.

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

 In Gansu province, three generations of workers have worked hard to stop desertification.

 Babusha,a big sand dune(沙丘) at the edge(边缘) of the Tengger Desert, was a big cause of sandstorms in the 1980s. The desert destroyed farmland and villages in its south, and affected more than 30,000 people. However, with the effort of"the six old men"and their children and grandchildren, now,a green belt, which is 10 kilometers long and 8 kilometers wide, has been built.

 This project is time-consuning. Guo Chaoming and five other villagers first had the idea of renting 5,000 hectares (公顷) of sandy land to plant trees in 1981. Their original goal was to prevent sandstorms from destroying their crops. At the time, Guo, the oldest of the six, was already 61, while Zhang Runyuan, the youngest, was not yet 50.

 At first, they planted 667 hectares of saplings (幼苗) . However, after the first sandstorm, no more than 30 percent survived. After countless failure, they successfully thought of the idea of burying wheat straw(埋麦秸) around trees to hold the sand.

Planting trees in desert is difficult, but taking care of them was even challenging. To protect the trees, they chose to live   there for years, in a simple shelter they made from wooden poles and straw (木杆和稻草) . They used bricks(砖头) to support a cooking pot(灶台) , drank boiled water and ate steamed buns when hungry.

 In the eyes of the six men, the Babusha forest farm became their most valuable possession. Even in the 1990s, when they were lack of money, they didn't cut down a single tree or grass to sell. Time passed by and four of the six passed away. But their children and grandchildren took up the torch and continued their work.

 Now, the desert has changed into grassland and forest. The amount of plants has increased from less than 3% to more than 75%. In 2019, "the six old men"and their families were honored"Model of the Times"and"Most Beautiful Fighters" for their hard work.
