People all over the world have enjoyed watching shows. What kinds of shows can we see Let’s take a tour of the colourful world of shows.
Beijing opera is a type of musical theatre. It joins singing, dance, acrobatics （杂技）, and martialarts （武术） together. It has a lot of music and is called opera, but the actors tell the stories in dialogues. The stories are taken from Chinese history, tales and literature. When an actor appears, the audience （观众） know quickly if the character is smart, stupid or bad because of his face paint. For example, a red face is loyal.

As we know, Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. For me, Thanksgiving is the best holiday. It’s a holiday that does not need us to take part in any rush for goods. We should buy turkeys, the traditional food on this special day. And we also invite friends and family to share. Usually each person cooks a different dish and brings it to the big meal. It’s a day to be thankful not for turkeys, but for the people we care about.
Black Friday is the next day. Starting around 4 a.m., thousands of people crowd outside of stores and malls.
When the doors open, they rush into the stores. What are they doing
On Black Friday, many things are on sale. But if you don’t pay for them quickly, they will be sold out soon.
As a result, it’s normal for people to fight with each other for cheap TVs and computers—even toilet paper! In less than 24 hours, many people forget the peace of Thanksgiving. Instead, they become crazy consumers （消费者）.
Preparing for “11.11”, I opened Taobao to look for winter clothes in advance （提前）. Two hours later, I found myself became a crazy consumer, too.

Terrible weather events are harming the planet, and experts warn of even greater results to come. The sea ice loss and the Arctic ice melting （融化） caused by climate change have increased much in the last ten years. So they have pushed down the number of polar bears and seals while polar bears depend on sea ice for hunting seals.
According to the data （数据） from the WMO （世界气象组织）, temperatures on the Antarctica （南极洲） just hit 18.3°C, which is higher than the record of 17.59°C in March, 2015. Moreover, temperatures in this area have warmed about 3°C over the last 50 years. Although such temperatures might be considered pleasant for a picnic or a hiking trip, this is the Antarctica we are talking about. It is home to the most inhospitable environment on the planet because it is supposed to be a very cold place.
Besides, many places are experiencing the extreme weather this summer. Australia is undergoing its worst drought （干旱） since the 1930s, leaving bushfires burning so long and causing many deaths. Meanwhile in Europe, crops in the northwest are suffering the driest-weather in the past 80 years. Recently West Texas in America has also gone through its worst drought in more than 70 years, while floods have hit Eastern and Southern China.
“Climate change is bad for us human beings, which causes health problems. I’m afraid there will be more common events like the one that 30, 000 to 50, 000 persons died in Europe in 2003 because of the heat wave there,” Professor Schwartz said. “It will also cause more air pollution, diseases and lack of clean water and so on.”
60．What doesn’t bring down the number of polar bears according to this passage
A．Hunting. B．Climate change.
C．The sea ice loss. D．The Arctic icemelting.
61．What can we get from this passage
A．The Antarctica is pleasant for a hiking trip.
B．Extreme weather led to wildfires burning in Europe.
C．Climate change will cause air pollution and diseases.
D．The temperatures on the Antarctica hit the highest in March, 2015.
62．What does the underlined word “inhospitable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．friendly to live. B．unfit to live.
C．comfortable to live. D．unhealthy to live.
63．Which place didn’t experience drought this summer
A．America. B．China.
C．Australia. D．Europe.
64．What is the main idea for this passage
A．The whole planet is drier and drier.
B．The Antarctica is warmer and warmer.
C．Climate change is getting worse and worse.
D．The number of polar bears is smaller and smaller.

Choosing a career isn’t always easy, but there are still some tips you can take to help make up your mind.
Don’t let other people decide what you should do.
Sometimes adults may want you to become a doctor, or work in a bank, or be a teacher. Listen to them, but remember it’s your life and it’s your decision. 65
Consider what you are good at.
It’s true that things like salary are important, but don’t let them lead you down the wrong path. Follow your heart and your personality. 66 If you don’t like work which needs lots of attention to detail, think long and hard before you decide to do something like applying to study engineering at university. Your first decision isn’t forever.
67 They start a job, love it straight away and stick at it. But it isn’t always like that. So remember that you are allowed to change your mind. It’s not necessary to worry for years. Maybe your first job doesn’t turn out to be suitable for you. Maybe the right job for you is right around the corner!
68
Some people choose their career simply because they think they’ll make much money. OK, if that is what you want. But, generally, people get more satisfaction out of their career if they feel they are doing something valuable for others. It doesn’t have to be charity work. 69 Just don’t forget that job satisfaction isn’t only about money.
A．Do something of value. B．Others can decide your future. C．Some lucky people get it right first time. D．So be sure that you are the one who makes that decision. E．It could be a job that helps other people in the community. F．If you are very active, don’t choose an office job, even if the pay is good.
