Moscow’s metro is thought of as the most beautiful metro in the world. It is the fifth largest metro system in the world by the length of route, and the fourth busiest metro system in the world by the annual passenger flow(年客流量).On May 15, 1935, the Soviet government opened the metro. The metro was built to provide shelter for more than 4 million people during the war.

Moscow's metro is like a palace. Few countries in the world can build metros like it, and most of these metros have a long history. It's really hard to imagine that one hundred years ago, Russians could build metros like this.

If you travel to Russia, you really should experience the metro in Moscow. If you don't know Russian and don't have much experience in tourism, you'd better find friends who understand Russian to go there with you, because the metro in Moscow is really complicated( 复杂), and there are not always English signs to show you where to go.

Moscow’s metro is not only spectacular, but also very deep. Because Moscow’s metro is not only a means of transportation, but also taking the responsibility((责任) of underground air defense(空防) shelters during the war.

Each station is designed by famous artists in Russia, each with its own special style. And each station has its own theme. Some have many murals( 壁画)that show the important events in Russian history.

A.To attract tourists B.To protect people in the wartime.

C.To create arts in it D.To show the important events in Russian history

Fun and practical, these apps are worth downloading

*Forest

When working on your homework, you might sometimes find that your smart phone is distracting （使分心） you. An app called Forest can help you stay focused. When you set a new task in the app and set a certain amount of time to finish it, a tree seed will be “planted” in the app. If you keep finishing your task, the seed will grow into a tree. But if you close the app and play with your phone instead, the tree will wither and even die. Once you finish the task, your tree will be “planted” in the app. Gradually, you will have a forest! You can share your achievements with your friends and try to “plant” different kinds of trees.

*Rocket Alarm Clock

It’s hard to get out of bed every morning. You might hit the “snooze” button（“打盹”按钮） on your alarm clock again and again just to get a little more sleep. However, the Rocket Alarm Clock app can help!

The app’s alarm cannot be easily turned off. You have to shake your phone wildly, solve difficult math problems, or even blow into your phone’s microphone to turn it off. For example, in one of the app’s modes, there are some unidentified flying objects( UFOs) that are attacking（攻击） the earth. You have to blow hard on your microphone to get rid of（摆脱） the UFOs and turn off the alarm.

*Xiawen

This app makes reading news feel like chatting with a friend. News stories pop up（弹出） just like a text message from a friend.　 If you’re interested, you can click “read on”. If not, just click “new one”.

In addition, the app’s news stories are presented in an interesting way. There are emojis（表情符号）, audio clips （音频剪辑） and memes to help you better understand each piece of news. If you want to comment on the stories you read, you can join different groups and discuss the stories with others.

请根据短文内容, 回答下面问题.

Ed Dohring, a doctor from Arizona, had dreamed his whole life of reaching the top of Mount Qomolangma(珠穆朗玛峰). But when he succeeded a few days ago, he was surprised by what he saw.

Climbers were pushing and moving to take selfies(自拍). The summit(顶峰),　 which is about the size of two ping-pong tables, was filled with 15 or 20 people. To get up there, he had to wait hours in a line, chest to chest, on an icy mountain.

He even had to walk across the body of a woman who had just died.

“It was very terrible, "he said by telephone from Nepal, where he was resting in a hotel room. " It was like a zoo.”

This has been one of the most dangerous climbing seasons on Mount Qomolangma, with at least 10 deaths. And some seem to be avoidable. Climbers themselves are often so driven to finish their goal that they may keep going even if they see the dangers.

Sometimes these trips go very wrong.

From interviews with several climbers, it seems that as the groups get closer to the summit, the pressure increases.

“A lot of people could only worry about themselves and nobody thinks about those who are in danger, "Ms Deryan said.“It is a question of ethics(道德)," she added.“You find out that if you help, you are going to die.”

(Answer each question with no more than six words.)

1.What had Ed Dohring dreamed of in his whole life?

______________________________________________________

2.What is the size of the summit?

______________________________________________________

3.How did he feel after walking across a dead woman?

______________________________________________________

4.Why do climbers keep going even if they see the dangers?

______________________________________________________

5.For climbers, what will happen if they help?

______________________________________________________

One of my favorite books--A Midsummer Night' s Dream我最爱的书之--《仲夏夜之梦》

A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of Shakespeare's greatest comedies. I enjoyed reading the book. It made me laugh a lot. The characters are very fascinating.

In the story, there are two parallel(平行的)worlds. One is the human world, and the other is the fairy world. Hermia, Helena, Lysander and Demetrius are all human beings. Oberon and Titania are the king and queen of the fairy world. The two worlds are connected and the whole story develops all because of a trick played by Oberon.

Hermia is my favorite character in this story. She is independent and has the courage to fight for her own choices. Her father suggests she marry Demetrius. but she doesn't love Demetrius. Instead, she loves Lysander and decides to run away with him. Later, because of a trick played by the fairy king, Lysander falls in love with Helena. Hermia feels hurt, but she doesn't give up. Her determination leads to the story’s happy ending.

I also love Oberon, the fairy king, very much. He loves playing tricks. He quarrels a lot with Titania because of his jealousy. When he loses to the queen, he plays a trick on her. In many other stories I have read, a king is always serious and powerful. Oberon, however, is very different. He acts like a child!

In A Midsummer Night's Dream, I saw humanity. I found different personalities. That is why I think the book is so interesting. The story shows us what life is like in an imaginative and humorous way.
