Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit（放弃） climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”

At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.

1.The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was ______ for the father and the son.

A. hard　　　 B. enjoyable

C. painful　 D. comfortable

2.The underlined word “crystal” in the passage means _______.

A. 岩石　　　　　　　　 B. 火焰

C. 水晶　　　　　　　　 D.寒冰

3.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the father’s words in the second paragraph?

A. You will get all you need at the top of the mountain.

B. The sky is always as clear as crystal.

C. You can find life is full of nice things.

D. Never give up half-way.

Astronauts on board the Shenzhou-10 spacecraft have taught a lesson from space to schoolchildren through a live video. The astronauts made some experiments in the lab Tiangong-1. They showed a lot of　 physical(物理的) phenomenon（现象） in a zero-gravity（失重的） environment.

Greetings from space have opened a new history in China.

Wang Yaping, Shenzhou-10 Astronaut, said, "Hello, everyone. I am Wang Yaping. I will host the lecture today.” It is the country’s very first space lecture. And all eyes were on the female space teacher Wang Yaping and her two other partners.

The first part of the class was all about weight. This floating（漂浮的） pose looked like a pose from a Chinese Kongfu movie. Audiences were amazed by it.

Wang Yaping later did some other experiments to show what happens in zero gravity. She also did an experiment of what water is like on space.

In Beijing, about 330 students attended the class and ask questions of the astronauts from video calls.

Song Xinke said, "It’s very interesting. The experiment that impressed me a lot is the water balloon. The phenomenon is very beautiful. We have not learned enough knowledge to understand it. So I want to learn more after the class."

Liu Yuezhang said, "I feel very excited about this class. I have lots of questions and the astronauts are answering our questions. They teach us a lot of knowledge."

China’s very first lesson from space was a new chapter（篇章） in history. The experiment is sure to be a great encouragement for the young to 　　　 explore the unknown. And get a greater understanding of the universe.
