Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
I've always wanted to try rock climbing, but never had time or money for it. But I've discovered a way to experience the thrill(兴奋，紧张) of climbing rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and exciting way to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer! Indoor climbers don't climb on real rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms,
schools and camps have one.
You can climb in doors at any time of the year, no matter how the whether is. It is usually not expensive. Most gyms provide the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing is one reason why it has become so popular. But the main reason people climb is for rush(刺激感) they get. When I stand at the roof of the wall and look up, I'm always scared, but once I start climbing, fear changes to determination. With my heart pounding(心剧烈跳动), I reach the top and look down. I can't stop grinning. I did it! Indoor climbing is a great workout(锻炼). Climbing uses muscles(肌肉)that are hard to exercise, especially those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with various degrees of difficulty. The easier ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out(凸出)in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel(平行的)with the floor.
Although gym climbing is easier and safer than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope through something called a belay device(绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip. But make sure your partner knows how to use this equipment. And if you are a first-time climber, get some instruction before you begin.

    There are four seasons in a year. They are spring, summer, autumn and winter. For all my friends, every season is good.

    Wang Dong likes flying kites and climbing hills. She says when spring comes, the days are getting warmer and longer. And everything begins to grow. The wind is not very strong. It's the best time to fly kites. And when you climb the hills, you can enjoy yourself. So she often says spring is her favourite season.

    "Swimming is my favourite sport,”says Anne. “When summer comes, I often go swimming in the rivers or lakes with my friends." You can enjoy yourself in the water.And you can swim like a fish there.

    “I often go climbing hills with my father during the long vacation of the National Day, ”says Liu An. “My father often tells me that I can see lots of beautiful things if I stand on the top of a hill. ”So he likes autumn best of all.

    Bob says he likes winter very much. He says, “I'm very happy when I am playing with snow.”He is making a snowman now.

A story about the Mid-autumn Festival

    A great festival for the Chinese takes place on the 15th day of the 8th Chinese lunar month. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} In 2019, the Mid-autumn Festival falls on September13th. As a time for families to be together, the Mid-autumn Festival has its typical food -the mooncake which is round and delicious. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Long ago there was a king in China who was very cruel（残暴的）to the people and the country didn't go well. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} So they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time and put them into cakes. On the 15th of August every person was told to buy the cakes. When they ate them, they discovered the notes. So they got together to make a sudden attack(进攻）on the king. From then on, the Chinese people celebrated on August 15^th. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    When the Mid-autumn Festival is near, shop owners decorate (装饰)their shop windows beautifully with pictures of ancient Chinese ladies. People go to buy many kinds of mooncakes. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} On the evening of the day, people and their family have a big meal. After it, they eat mooncakes and watch the fullest and brightest moon.

    The digital(数字的)age has come into our life. In the USA, some teachers think digital search tools(工具)have had a good influence on the American teenagers, but others don't think so. More than 2,000 high school teachers took s survey on the Internet.

    75 percent of the teachers agreed the Internet and digital search tools have had a "mostly good" use for their students' research habits and skills. But 87 percent thought that these technologies" make the students not have enough attention." And 64 percent said the technologies "do little to help them in courses."

    Judy Buchanan is a director of the National Writing Project. Ms. Buchanan says digital search tools are helping students learn more, and lean faster. Teachers really like these tools because they are ways to make some of learning very exciting. Young people enjoy using these tools. And the goal is to help them do creative work, and not just that kind of copyist(模仿者，抄写员).

    But one problem is that many students don't have a good understanding of how to use the digital knowledge well. In other words, they trust too much of the information. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to tell whether the information on the Internet is good or bad.

    Another problem is something that might not seem like a problem at all, being able to quickly find information from the Internet. Teachers say the ability of their students to work hard to find out answers is becoming weaker. They say students depend too much on search tools and do not make enough use of printed books.

    Besides, many teachers are also worried about the problem that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others, instead of using their own abilities.

    A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.

    Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It isn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.

    Even so, travel isn't difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can lead you where you want to go.

    People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.

    Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped(逃跑)from a war more than 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.

    Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem.

    Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower, little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimetres.

    Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made arctic(北极的)ice melt.

    Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.
