If you were asked to recite lines of poetry that have the Chinese character “hua”—which means flower—how many could you recite?
He Liran, 13, had to tack on this challenge on a TV show aired by Shandong TV. He Liran, a student at the Harbin No 163 Middle School in Heilongjiang, competed with over 100 other students. The competitors took turns reciting lines of poetry that used the word “hua”, with He Liran replying to each one.
One competitor used the line “As if the vernal breeze had come back over night; adorning thousands of pear trees with blossoms white.” He Liran replied with “After one night of wind and showers; how many are the fallen flowers!”
At the end, He Liran won, reciting more than 60 out of the 127 lines that were recited in the competition.
Her lifelong love of reading helped her win. Her father started reading poems to her when she was just 4 years old. She has been a bookworm ever since.
Though busy with schoolwork, she spares time to study at least one poem each day. She thinks ancient poetry is still important, even in modern times.
“Once, I walked along a small path in a forest. The scenery was the same as what is described in the line ‘On the sandy path between pine-trees there is no mud’, which comes from one of Su Shi’s poems. At that moment, the line from his poem naturally came to my mind and I realized that poems can be part of our daily lives,” she said.

If you were asked what your body is made of, probably you would say that it is made of flesh(肉体) and bones and covered with skin. You also know something about the blood which flows through it, and that there is a very important part which we call the brain.
But the flesh and the bones make up the largest part of the body, and there is a good deal to be learned about them. You know the general appearance of both flesh and bone from the parts of animals which you see in the butcher’s shop.
Bone is hard, and of a white color; indeed, it looks more like a piece of wood or stone than a part of a living animal. But bone is a real part of the living body, and it grows and is nourished (滋养)just as the body is. If a man breaks the bone of his arm or his leg, it is firmly bound up, to prevent the broken parts from moving out of the proper places, and in time then bone grows together again and becomes quite strong.
The bones are fastened together by various kinds of joints(关节). They form the framework of the body, and give it strength to retain its proper shape. This framework is called the skeleton(骨架). Some animals, such as worms and slugs, have no skeleton; and others, such as shellfish, have a kind of hard covering or skeleton outside.
The most important part of the skeleton is the backbone. It is so important that naturalists divide all animals into two classes,--- those which have a backbone and those which have none. All the higher animals, including man, have a backbone, or vertebral column as it is called. They are therefore called vertebrate （脊椎的）animals. The others are called invertebrate animals.
1.What’s our body made of?
A. Flesh
B. Flesh and bones.
C. Flesh, bones and flood.
D. Flesh, bones, flood and brain.
2.Where can we see flesh and bones from the parts of animals?
A. In the bookshop. B In the butchers’ shop.
C. At home. D. In the shopping mall
3.Why should the bones bound up firmly if they were broken?
A.To make the bones strong
B. To protect our arms and legs
C. To fasten the joints.
D. To prevent the broken parts from moving out of the proper places.
4. From the passage, we know higher animals are called .
A. backbone B. human beings
C. vertebrate animals D. skeleton

If we are asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written it in an account(陈述) of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.
It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we don’t have written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the important happenings in their country, but it was often destroyed(破坏) by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a great deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learnt to write.
Sometimes, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and those have been sung and acted and told for many generations(代), for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history”. Some of it has been written history because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often helpful.
1.Which of the following ideas is NOT included in the passage?
A. “Remembered history” is less reliable (可靠的) than written history.
B. Written records of the past play an important role in our learning of the human history.
C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.
D. If there are no written records, there is no history.
2.We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ________.
A. there was nothing worth writing down at that time
B. the people there paid no attention to the importance of keeping a record
C. the written records were perhaps destroyed by fire
D. the people there did not know how to write
3.“Remembered history” is considered as valuable only when ________.
A. it is written down B. there is no written account
C. it proves to right D. people are interested in it
4.The passage suggests(暗示) that we could have learnt much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had ________.
A. kept a record of every past event
B. not burnt their written records in wars
C. told the exact stories of the most important happenings
D. made more songs and dances

You know you have to read “between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I want to tell you something important during your reading.
You shouldn’t mark a book which isn’t yours. 1 If you think it useful to mark books, you will have to buy them.
There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is to get the right by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself. 2
There are three kinds of book owners. The first has all the best sellers — unread and untouched. The second has a great many books. 3 The third has a few dog-eared(翻折的) books, which are marked from front to back.
Why is marking a book necessary? First, it keeps you awake. In the second place, reading is thinking. 4 The marked book is usually the thought-through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the writer expressed.
If reading is to learn anything more than passing time, it must be active. The book you read for pleasure can be read in a state of relaxation, and nothing is lost. But for a great book, rich in ideas, reading must be active. 5 You should come up with an understanding of what you have read.
根据材料内容，将A-E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整、正确，并将其标号填写在下面题号后的横线上。
A. You can’t let your eyes move across the lines.
B. But most of them are as clean as the day they were bought.
C. And thinking can express itself in words, spoken or written.
D. People who lend you books expect you to keep them clean.
E. The best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it.
