It was a warm spring day. Chen Beier, a TV host (主持人), was on her way to Atule’er, a small village on a
cliff (悬崖) in Sichuan. She was going to make a programme about the village. People could only get there by
climbing a very long ladder (梯子).
In 2021, China had eradicated extreme poverty (消除绝对贫困). And life has greatly changed in Atule’er
too. Years ago, there were no schools for children. Many people died because they couldn’t get medical help in
time. Now schools and hospitals are built. People can go to school and see a doctor easily.
Chen was on her way to Atule’er but it wasn’t easy to finish the trip. When Chen was in the middle of the
ladder, she felt so tired that it was difficult for her to go any further. But the woman didn’t ________ and went on
her climb. Thanks to Chen, people can easily see how life in China’s countryside has changed.
China has changed a lot. Many people outside China, however, couldn’t believe it. After all, China has a

If you like poems (诗), the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, US is a good place for you. There is a night
table in the middle of the park. A note on it reads, “Take a poem, leave a poem.”Amanda Barrows, a 31-year-old park ranger (管理员), thought up an idea. She said, “I never thought
visitors would love the idea. They left over 100 handwritten poems on the night table in months.”
Three years ago, Barrows began writing poems. She attended a poetry class to keep herself writing. The
class asked students to find a way to bring poems into communities. “Why not bring poetry to the city parks
where I work?” Barrows thought.
Barrows started her work. A friend of hers provided her with an old night table. Then Barrows filled the
drawer (抽屉) at the top with fresh paper and pens and added a box at the bottom for poems. Then she asked her
close friends to help her fill the drawer with their favorite poems for people to take. Finally, she put her idea into
practice.
Barrows planned to leave the night table in one park for four days before moving it to a new park. “I

（23-24八年级上·重庆九龙坡·期末）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。
Community canteens (社区食堂) are places for old people to have meals, as the elderly may have trouble
in cooking. However, these canteens have become more and more popular among young people recently. Why do
so many young people choose to have meals in these “elderly” community canteens?
Many young people are too busy with work to cook for themselves. “I used to spend two hours cooking and
washing dishes, only to eat for 10 minutes,” said Chen Luo, an engineer from a nearby office building. The nearby
community canteen is a perfect choice.
Compared with food ordered online, foods in these canteens are much healthier. Fang Wenjing, a teenage
boy from Hangzhou, can order a meat dish, 2 vegetable dishes and a bowl of rice for only 20 yuan in the nearby
community canteen. “Though the dishes are cheap, they are healthy and have a home-cooked taste, just as I
expected,” said Fang.
However, some people show different opinions about these community canteens. They doubt whether the
canteens can make sure the dishes are fresh and healthy with such low prices. Besides, meals there are all home-
made dishes with fewer specials in different places. “Though other restaurants are a little more expensive than the
community canteens, I prefer to enjoy the beautiful environment and nice service there,” said Linda Wang, a
young English teacher.
Anyway, community canteens really meet the daily needs of people who live in big cities. What do you
think?
1．Do the community canteens only serve old people now?
2．What can Fang Wenjing choose to eat in a community canteen with 20 yuan?
3．Why do many young people have meals in the community canteens?
4．If you want to eat out, would you like to choose community canteens or other restaurants? Why?【答案】1．No, they don’t. 2．A meat dish, 2 vegetable dishes and a bowl of rice. 3．Because they are
too busy with work to cook for themselves. 4．I would like to choose community canteens because the dishes
are cheap and healthy.
【导语】本文主要介绍了社区食堂现在越来越受到年轻人的喜爱。
1．根据“However, these canteens have become more and more popular among young people recently.”可知，
社区食堂最近广受年轻人的喜爱，可见它们现在不是只服务于老年人，应作否定回答。故填No, they
don’t.
2．根据“Fang Wenjing, a teenage boy from Hangzhou, can order a meat dish, 2 vegetable dishes and a bowl of
rice for only 20 yuan in the nearby community canteen.”可知，他用20元就可以在社区食堂里吃到一肉两菜
再加一碗米饭。故填A meat dish, 2 vegetable dishes and a bowl of rice.
3．根据“Many young people are too busy with work to cook for themselves.”可知，这些年轻人由于工作繁
忙无法自己做饭，因此选择在社区食堂就餐。故填Because they are too busy with work to cook for
themselves.
4．本题为开放性题目，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。故填I would like to choose community canteens
because the dishes are cheap and healthy.
