The Value of a Painting

One day when a talented famous painter was walking through a road, a woman recognized him and ran to him. She said to the painter, “I am a big fan of yours. I like your paintings very much. Will you make me a painting?”

He smiled and said, “I have nothing to paint. I am hurried to go. I will make you a painting some other time.” The woman replied, “I don't know if I will be lucky enough to meet you again. Please make me a painting now.”

Being asked so much by the woman, the painter took out a small piece of paper and a pen and began to draw something on that paper.

Within 10 seconds, he completed drawing. He handed that paper to that woman and said, “Take this! It's worth 1,000 dollars.”

The woman found it strange that how he could make a drawing within 10 seconds and say that it would value so much. So, the woman thanked him and took that painting to a market to know about the right value of the painting. She couldn’t believe that the drawing was actually worth 1,000 dollars.

Can family be your secret to language learning success?

If you want to get into language learning but haven’t managed it on your own yet, learning with your family might be just the extra motivation (动力) you need and one of the most effective and easiest ways.

Why do we learn language as a family?

Learning a language as a family can help add motivation. If your family is competitive, the desire to be the best might make you study even harder than you learn alone.

Learning as a family gives you built-in conversation partners. Practice is important when learning a language, but you can’t always have a native-level language exchange partner at the ready. However, if you have a family full of other language learners, you can work in a little conversation practice whenever you have a moment.

Learning a language as a family is also a fun group activity. Everyone loves a game night or movie night. It’s a fun way to break up the daily routine and reconnect with those you love. Maybe it would be much better to learn a language while spending an interesting night with your family

How do we start learning a language as a family?

Keep it real. If your family loves cooking together, you can start by learning words and phrases for foods and kitchen tasks, and you can make shopping lists in the target (目标) language.

Take notes. Language isn’t just speaking; it’s reading and writing, too. Encourage your family to text each other in your target language. You could also surprise each other with notes on pillows, bathroom mirrors, inside dresser drawers—any place your family will find them.

Game the language. Your family can try playing board or card games that are popular in foreign countries where people speak the target language.

Plan a movie night. Watching movies in the target language can help you get a feel for the language as it’s used by native speakers. You can set the subtitles (字幕) to the target language, so you can see the words

B. make a painting for her D. tell her how to make money C. relaxed

D. moved

C. teach her how to paint quickly A. surprised

25. Knowing the painting was worth 1,000 dollars, the woman felt __________.

B. proud

26. At last, the woman may realize ___________. A. working hard is valuable C. success depends on luck

B. learning arts is expensive

D. achievements come from talent

you’re hearing as you watch.

Let’s make it a habit to learn a language in our family. Then we could spend our spare time productively and make a great difference.

27. According to the passage, learning a language as a family ______________. A. makes us have less interest in communicating with family members B. keeps us from talking with native-level language exchange partners C. helps us remain the family routine as usual through group activities D. offers us extra opportunities to practice language whenever possible 28. According to the writer’s suggestions, we can ______________. A. have language learning involved into family’s kitchen tasks B. hide the target language subtitles in a movie while watching C. surprise the family by painting a picture on a bathroom mirror D. play popular card games in other countries in our native language 29. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A. To compare different ideas on how to learn a language as a family. B. To introduce the achievements of learning a language in a family. C. To explain why learning a language has many benefits for a family. D. To call on us to make language learning part of a family’s activity.

D

Cathy Hackl’s son wanted to celebrate his ninth birthday, but he didn’t ask for a party or gifts. He asked if he could hold the celebration on Roblox, a digital platform (数码平台) where users can play and create games. He and his friends wouldn’t meet in person—they would attend the party online.

“They hung out and played and they went to other different games together,”

Hackl says. “ It happens in a virtual (虚拟的) space but it’s very real to my son.”

Roblox is part of the metaverse (虚拟世界), a “place” similar to the real world. Today, millions of people spend hours a day in online communities. We enter the metaverse through virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), or simply on a screen. These experiences allow a stronger connection between our digital and physical lives. But these two worlds are already mixed together, no headset(头戴式视图器) required. Think about the Google Map. It uses location data to help people find the best way to a place.

The metaverse is part of the Internet. And there are plenty of Internet problems. For example, the personal information may be stolen. These suggest how challenging a future in the metaverse could be. However, many people believe the metaverse has real benefits. They say it can enlarge social networks.

Hackl is a metaverse expert. She’s also Latina (拉丁美洲裔女性). “We need to see people like me in these public-facing roles,” she says. “You can inspire a lot more people to join and say, ‘Hey, I am welcome and highly valued in this metaverse world. I’m sure I can build a different life.’” For those who are already spending part of their life in the metaverse, that building has begun.

Carrie Tatsu runs a business in the metaverse. But she wants her kids to spend as much time as possible in the real world. “It’s so important for humans to be with humans in real life,” she says. “I think that as kids grow up in this space, there must be some outlets for them to be connected with the real world, like tasting the delicious food, feeling the warm light on the face, having a face-to-face conversation with a real friend... any activity that can help them leave the virtual space and share their ideas in real life. Even though you can create a virtual world online, it is not the same as the real one.” 30. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Teens can meet and hang out with friends in person on Roblox. B. It’s difficult to have a metaverse experience without VR or AR. C. The Google Map offers people a social experience with a headset. D. The metaverse brings people real-life experiences on digital platforms. 31. Cathy Hackl probably agrees that ________.

A. customers will have better shopping experience in the metaverse B. as part of the Internet, the metaverse could have a challenging future C. the metaverse can help her become popular and improve self-confidence D. it’s more important for people to interact with each other in the real world 32. The word “outlets” in Paragraph 6 probably means “_______”. A. duties to care and live C. rules to play and speak

B. ways to express feelings or energy D. messages to receive or pass on B. Is the social network disappearing? D. Is the social network important for teens?

33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. What is the future of the metaverse?

C. What has the metaverse brought to us?

Dancing Lions

This time of year, you might see lions dancing in the street as drums beat heavily. These aren’t real lions. They’re dancers in colorful clothes, celebrating a centuries-old tradition in China. It’s meant to bring good luck in the coming year. In many Asian countries, the new year is celebrated with the new moon that take places in late January or early February.

Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head, the other controls the tail. There are many different kinds of lion dances. The most wonderful moment might be jumping on high poles.

“I think of it as a sport,” says Anthony Huang, 15, a dancer at New York City’s Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. Anthony has performed as the lion’s tail, but this is his first year controlling the head, which can weigh 20 pounds. The challenges are co-working with the other members in the group and following the

初三英语试卷 第 6 页 （共8页）

music with the heavy head. It’s important for Anthony to pass on this historical dance form.

“I feel like this tradition really represents me,” he says.

Lion dances were once performed mostly by males. These days, the activity has become more inclusive (包容广阔的).

LionDanceMe is a group in San Francisco, California. On its dance teams, boys and girls work together. Sixteen-year-old Ananda Tang-Lee is a member. She used to see boys performing the lion dancing when she was little. She says, “But anyone can take it up. You have to believe in yourself, and have confidence that you can do it.”

During the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠肺炎疫情), LionDanceMe didn’t give up performing. Instead, the group showed its performances online. This has got the dance group even more excited to perform in person again, when it’s safe.

“It’s a different performance in real life,” says Isabella Yu, 16, who plays drums, “We bring a lot more than just the performance. We bring energy and excitement, too.”

Lion dancing will likely continue to develop gradually. But one thing that will never change is the sense of community among team members. “It’s really great, because we always have each other’s backs.” Ananda says, “We call it a family.”

34. What challenges does Anthony have to face when he controls the head? 35. Can anyone in LionDanceMe perform the lion dance?

36. How did LionDanceMe perform during the COVID-19 pandemic? 37. Why could the lion dancing pass on for many years and around the world?
