British historian Jacob Bronowski once wrote, “Man masters nature not by force, but by understanding.” This is especially for extreme climber Alex Honnold, who climbed California's El Capitan by himself, without any safety ropes(绳子), in 2017. The New York Times called it“one of the greatest athletic feats（功绩）of any kind, ever.”
Now you can watch him do it. The documentary Free Solo, which hit Chinese mainland cinemas on Sept 6, shows Honnold’s brave journey up the 914-meter high mountain. The film won the 2019 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in February. In it, Honnold gives us some useful advice:“You’ll always feel fear, but over time you’ll realize the only way to truly manage your fear is to broaden your comfort zone. It means that challenging yourself is important.”
In fact, free climbing requires perseverance, control, and concentration. “I’m not thinking about anything when I’m climbing,” Honnold said, “I’m focused on doing what’s in front of me.” This strong focus on the present is a sort of meditation (冥想) that we can use in our daily routines.
While the documentary seemingly praises extreme athletes for pushing the limits of human potential, some are concerned about Honnold risking his own life. “His deed puts great stress on his loved ones, even when he succeeds,” Climbing Magazine noted.
Free Solo seems to say that with enough courage and dedication, one can achieve any goal. However, the movie may also be viewed as the disturbing story of a climber who went against all better judgment and got away with it.
1.What do we know about Free Solo?
A.It won an Academy Award in 2017.
B.It was adapted from a book about mountain climbing.
C.It introduces famous extreme climbers around the world.
D.It shows how Honnold climbed El Capitan without any protection.
2.How does Honnold deal with his fear?
A.He practices meditation regularly.
B.He does different exercises to help him relax.
C.He keeps taking on new challenges.
D.He asks experienced climbers for advice.
3.What do Honnold’s loved ones think of him, according to Climbing Magazine?
A.They believe he should value his own life.
B.They think he will reach even greater achievements.
C.They think he should have done more training.
D.They see him as an idol.

The brothers Grimm(格林兄弟), Jacob and Wihelm are synonymous with（同义的）fairytales. The stories they gathered have been read by millions of children in all countries over the last two hundred years. It’s difficult to think that any children could not be attracted by a tale like Red Riding Hood(小红帽)，which never seems to grow old.
This year, Dec20 marked the 200th anniversary of publication of the tales. The Brimms collected the stories and gave them to the world because they wanted to show what German culture was about. In their time, Germany was not yet a nation; it was a collection of little states. Like many patriotic intellectuals(爱国知识分子),they thought they could help people in German territories(领土) to understand their own traditions.
Quite a few adult were shocked by brothers Grimm’s work. They wrote about a wolf who eats a little girl’s grandmother and an awful old woman who wants to put Hansel and Gretel in a stove. In fact, the original Grimm fairy tales are often far more unpleasant, and more adult in theme(主题).There is a lot of cruelty too. In the wedding scene of Snow White ,the stepmother dances in red-hot iron shoes that kills her.
However, other people came along and made these stories more “suitable” for children. The modern children’s writer Philip Pullman recently published a book of his versions of some Grimm tales. He points out that the Grimms themselves changed the stories, but for the better. They knew how to hold the attention of readers. “A Grimm tale,” he says, “moves with a dreamlike speed from event to event, pausing only to say as much as is needed and no more.” So, when we read a story from Grimms’ collection, we’re getting something from old Germany, but our enjoyment is also thanks to the brothers’ great storytelling skills.
1.According to Paragrah1, Red Riding Hood____.
A. is popular with children all the time.
B. is too old for children to read
C. is a poorly organized story
D. is too stupid to be believed.
2.What is the Brimms’ purpose in publishing the fairy tales?
A. To improved children’s reading skills.
B. To develop educational system.
C. To introduce their country’s culture.
D. To make a living by selling books.
3.By mentioning Philip Pullman, the author intends to____.
A. describes the achievement of the Brothers Grimm
B. present a different side of Grimm fairy tales
C. prove the excellence of the Grimm fairy tales
D. compare the difference between the two versions
4.In which section of a paper is the passage taken from?
A. Fun Times B. Comment
C. Life and Style D. Culture.

Losing a baby tooth can be fun for a kid. You can put it under your pillow and look forward to finding some money there in the morning. And then you can watch your new permanent(永恒的) tooth grow in its place.
But if a permanent tooth falls out, that’s a problem. There isn’t another one under the gum(齿龈)that can replace it. Unfortunately, this happens to some older people. And if permanent teeth fall out or need to be pulled, an older person might need dentures.
Dentures, known as false teeth, are a set of replacement teeth for any teeth that are missing. There are partial dentures, which take the place of only a few teeth and prevent the others from changing position. If all the teeth are gone, the person would need complete dentures, which replace every tooth in the mouth.
Dentures can cause pains at first and take little time to get adjusted to. They also need special care. They should be brushed daily with a special denture brush and cleanser and soaked（浸泡） in denture solution when not in the mouth.
Dentures are important for the old because, without teeth, it’s hard to smile, talk, and eat properly. But it can be a little weird if you see someone take out his or her dentures. It can also be strange to see someone, like a grandparent, without dentures in because he or she won’t have any teeth. Try not to make fun of the person because this could cause hurt feelings.
People usually lose their permanent teeth due to periodontal disease（牙周炎）, or gum disease, which is caused by bacteria that attacks the gums. Diseased gums aren’t strong and healthy, so teeth can get loose and fall out. Older people often have many cavities(洞)that have been filled over the years, and these fillings can weaken over time, leading to more tooth problems.
1.If one of your baby teeth falls out, you ________.
A. should have a false tooth fixed in its place
B. have to put it under your pillow at once
C. will gain a permanent tooth in future
D. can exchange it for some money
2.A person wearing dentures ________.
A. should brush them with a special denture brush every few days
B. will take a very long time to adjust himself or herself to them
C. will experience unpleasant feelings at the beginning of fixing them
D. should use denture solution to soak them in his or her mouth
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Partial dentures can prevent the remaining teeth from changing position.
B. Old people will find it hard to smile, talk, and eat properly without teeth.
C. A person’s teeth will possibly get loose if diseases strike his gums.
D. It is hard for a person to wear dentures if all his teeth have fallen out.
4.What does the underlined word “weird” mean in the fifth paragraph?
A. inconvenient B. excited
C. uncomfortable D. impolite
