Just as Halloween is for Americans, the Zhongyuan Festival is for Chinese. The Zhongyuan Festival, also known as Ghost Festival, falls on the l5th day of the 7th lunar month. This year it’s on August 12th.

In Fujian, visitors may see some river lanterns along the river. The lanterns help to show the way to the ghosts.

People in Guandong, however, have the festival on the 14th day of the 7th month.At night, they put the meal, ghost money and candles in front of their doors to make the ghosts happy so that ghosts wouldn’t bring bad luck to people.

① Do you often run outdoors to keep healthy? Do you know how running helps to clean up the earth? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win (双赢) result.

① Plogging, a new trend (趋势) to exercise, began in Sweden (瑞典). The name “plogging” comes from two Swedish words. One is “ploeka”, which means “to pick up”, and the other word is “jogging”, which means “to run slowly”.

① A Swedish man called Erik started the movement. He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more. Instead, he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish at the same time. To his surprise, more and more people followed him and soon plogging became popular.

① Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth. Lydia runs four or five times a week. While running, she picks up rubbish along the way. “It just takes a moment to stop and pick something up off the ground. But it makes a big difference to my neighborhood. Now my husband also joins me.” Lydia says proudly. “It doesn’t matter how much rubbish I pick up. It’s a good way to save our earth.”

① Another reason for plogging’s popularity is that plogging burns more calories (卡路里). According to scientists, plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories. While jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.

① Everyone on the earth should play a part in cleaning it up! It’s time for us to take an action together. So ready? Let’s plog tomorrow! 37．The writer starts paragraph 1 by ________.

A．giving examples

D．giving numbers

B．asking questions

How can you write a good story? Chinese teacher Wu Qian gave a lesson about writing and students from Sunshine Middle School joined the lesson. What did the students learn? How did they feel 78 it? Let’s take a look.

Jessica, Class One

It was an excellent lesson! I learned a lot from it. Ms. Wu told us that to tell a good story, “you need to have an interesting beginning, a good angle (角度) and enough examples.” In

试卷第10页，共11页

the past, I didn’t know the 79 of writing good stories. But now, I will think about these three ideas to write. The most useful idea I learned was to “show, not to tell”. For example, if you want to tell your readers that a gold watch is very expensive, you can just 80 “It costs 200, 000 yuan.”

Jack, Class Six.

I like Ms. Wu’s sentence best: “The key to a good story is true feelings.” 81 helped me work out how to write. I came to know that if I wanted to write something big. I should start from 82 stories and true feelings. For example, if I want to write on China’s changes, I could write about the changes my family had. 83 these kinds of examples is useful, isn’t it!

Steve, Class Eight

How do you tell a good story? After Ms. Wu’s lesson, I learned that a good writer 84 stops looking for the beauty in things. In my middle school, all kinds of beautiful things are happening in class every day. Some of these are exciting, and some are regrettable (令人激感的). 85 we can’t find out the beauty in them, our lives will be boring.
