    When was the last time you gave or received a hug? Do your parents hug you before you go to school? In Western countries, it is quite common to greet close friends or relatives with a hug.

    You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If one of your friends is having a bad day, you can hug him to cheer him up. Friends who haven't seen each other for a long time will usually hug each other when meeting.

    Of course, people in different countries have different opinions when it comes to hugging. After coming to China, I've noticed that Chinese people are generally more reluctant (不情愿的) to hug than those are in my home country, the USA.

    My Chinese friends told me that hugging is considered to be very intimate (亲密的) in their culture. It usually only happens between people who are really close to each other, like couples. Chinese people don't usually hug in public either.

    But people's attitudes towards hugging can also change. I remember watching a video story about a "hugging party" that was held in Shanghai. A local artist held the party, inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other.

    The Chinese participants clearly looked uncomfortable. However, after the party, several of them changed their minds. They decided that hugging doesn't have to be awkward (尴尬的) and can actually be quite nice. So next time you see your mum or dad, give her/him a hug—see how it makes you feel.

A、Hugging. B、Nodding. C、Shaking hands. D、Kissing.
(2)、The second paragraph tells us ________.
A、the advantages of hugging each other B、some situations in which people hug each other C、the reasons why friends need to hug each other D、the ways of hugging each other

(4)、What did people do at the "hugging party"?
A、They were invited to hug each other. B、They watched a video about hugging. C、They told stories about hugging. D、They sang their favourite songs.
(5)、The writer wrote the last paragraph to____________.

①You go home from work. You are tired, you want to turn on the TV and watch something fun. Your children want the same. What is better than a cartoon film?

②In fact, many cartoon films draw adults' attention. For example, Anomalisa, a film for adults, has been a success. And there is also the chance that adults will love a kid's film more, for example, The Incredibles. So, what is the reason(原因) behind it?

③First, a lot of cartoon films are really good. Plenty of gifted people join hands in making films like Toy Story and Ice Age. Screenwriters, programmers and musicians are all working together to bring the best result.

④Also, they bring out the memories(回忆) of our childhood. Remember the time when you were a child, and you used to turn on the TV and enjoy cartoons. Well, cartoon films bring out that special feeling.

⑤Cartoon films have well-written roles facing difficult situations. For example, Woody has to deal with the fact that he may not be Andy's favourite toy in Toy Story. Sometimes the stories are even better than those in adult films. So, it's not surprising that adults will love cartoon films.

⑥Moreover, by watching a cartoon film, we forget the boring life and leave our problems behind for the moment. Who would refuse to have his own personal Baymax (from Big Hero 6), a man who shares a hug every time there was sadness? If only our lives could be full of good-natured animals and brave children!

There is no gravity, so astronauts can't take showers like us. Is there a bathroom in the space station? How do they keep themselves clean? Tiangong has a special bathroom. Astronaut s can clean themselves with a wet towel (毛巾). 

What do astronauts eat in the space station? There is bread and milk for breakfast. There are also tasty Chinese dishes, like Kung Pao Chicken, fried rice and fried noodles. There is a special "fridge" to store (储存) food. The food stays cool in it. 

What if astronauts miss their families? There is special communication equipment (交流设备) in the space station. Astronauts can have private (私人的)"sky- to- earth" calls with their families. The astronauts often wear a headset (耳机). It not only helps them talk with each other, but also makes it possible for them to talk to the ground from any place.
