Amy was a dear little girl, but she was always wasting time getting prepared to do her tasks, instead of doing them at once as she should do.
In the village, Mr Thornton kept a store where he sold fruits of all kinds, including berries (莓子) when in season. One morning he said to Amy, “Well, Amy, I noticed some fine, blackberries on Mr Green’s farm today. He said that anybody was welcome to them. I will pay you 13 cents a kilogram for all you pick for me.”
Amy was excited about the thought of making some money to help her mom, so she quickly ran home to get a basket to hold the berries. Then she thought she would like to know how much money she would get if she picked five kilograms. After finding out that she would get 65 cents, she started to dream big, “If I should pick a dozen kilograms, how much should I make then ”
“Dear me,” she said to himself, after thinking a while, “I should make a dollar and fifty-six cents!”
It took her some time to dream bigger, and then it was so near lunchtime that she had to stay at home until the afternoon.
As soon as lunch was over, she took her basket and hurried to the farm. Some boys had been there before lunch, and all the ripe blackberries were picked.

In ancient times, copper coins meant wealth. Linking the copper coins one by one had the good meaning of collecting wealth. With coins, people can knit them into different shapes, from armor (盔甲) and swords (剑), to animals and plants. As a traditional skill in China, copper coin knitting (铜钱编织) was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2018.
Every day at 9 a.m., Zhang Canjin, 58, comes to the Drum Tower Street in Ningbo and walks into a small house of less than 10 square meters. Sitting at his desk, the inheritor (继承人) of copper coin knitting starts his day.
“Knitting the coins into different shapes doesn’t sound difficult, but the key is to be creative and think big,” Zhang said. So, since he started his own copper coin knitting store in 2014, he has tried very hard to think big. Zhang added, “As I keep on making different works, I have more creative ideas in my mind,” Zhang said.
To try something challenging, Zhang spent two months making armor with more than 8,000 coins in 2017. It got great public attention and even got Zhang a national patent for design (设计专利). This also gave him more confidence. Now, he tries to continue getting more creative ideas and hopes the art form will reach more people.
“I think we Chinese people should pass on our own treasure and tradition,” Zhang said. The house of Zhang stands there in the middle of the crowded Drum Tower Street, and inside Zhang is knitting his love for heritage into a beautiful dream.
( ) 57. Who was Zhang Canjin
A. A man collecting coins. B. An inheritor of copper coin knitting.
C. An ancient character made with coins. D. A wealthy man in the Drum Tower Street.
( ) 58. Which is true according to the article
A. Zhang used over 800 coins to make armor in 2017.
B. The key to knitting the coins is to be careful and creative.
C. Linking the copper coins one by one used to mean collecting wealth.
D. Copper coin knitting was listed as an intangible cultural heritage in 2019.
( ) 59. What may “a beautiful dream” in the last sentence mean
A. Zhang wishes to get more patents for design.
B. Zhang dreams to open more copper coin knitting stores.
C. Zhang wants to make more money by knitting copper coins.
D. Zhang hopes more Chinese can spread our traditional culture.

Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California. Men had found gold in the Yukon, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north.
Buck lived in Mr Miller’s big house in the sunny Santa Clara Valley. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many dogs. There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. Buck was chief dog; he was born here, and this was his place. He was four years old and weighed sixty kilos. He went swimming with Mr Miller’s sons and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr Miller’s feet in front of the fire in winter.
But this was 1897, and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr Miller’s gardeners, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr Miller was out, Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only one man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck.
Buck growled, and was surprised when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man. The man caught him and suddenly Buck was on his back with his tongue out of his mouth. For a few moments he was unable to move, and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train.
When Buck woke up, the train was still moving. The man was sitting and watching him, but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the man’s hand hard. Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go.
That evening, the man took Buck to the back room of a bar in San Francisco. The barman looked at the man’s hand and trousers covered in blood.
“How much are they paying you for this ” he asked.
“I only get fifty dollars.”
“And the man who stole him—how much did he get ” asked the barman.
“A hundred. He wouldn’t take less.”
“That makes a hundred and fifty. It’s a good price for a dog like him. Here, help me to get him into this.”
They took off Buck’s rope and pushed him into a wooden box. He spent the night in the box in the back room of the bar. His neck still ached with pain from the rope, and he could not understand what it all meant. What did they want with him, these strange men And where was Mr Miller

Every one of us has a chance to try new things. When we try something new, there’s always the risk. 66
For example, we may try a food we have never had before. And we don’t like the food finally. It can be too sour, too salty or too spicy. We may try a new style of music and get a headache. We may try a new sport like skating and end up falling down a lot. 67 We may try to speak or write a different language and end up embarrassing ourselves.
68 But it is not so bad to take risks. For example, we can try a new food. And we fall in love with it finally. It can be sweet or tastes very good. We may try a new sport and fall down but we get back up and finally experience pleasure, even for a minute. We may see why people love that sport so much.
If we try a new kind of music, we may regret we didn’t find it sooner. We can see a new kind of art. 69 We can try to write and speak a different language, and we may be a little embarrassed at first, but we know that the only way to improve is to make mistakes and keep on trying.
All in all, keep trying something new. 70
A. We are willing to take risks. B. We may be surprised at its beauty. C. Trying new things sounds risky to us. D. You will have chances to get rewards (回报). E. The risk is that we will not be happy with our choice. F. We may see a different kind of art and be completely unhappy.

五、阅读与回答问题。（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Do you know what the body mass index (BM, 体重指数) is According to the National Health Service, BMI is a measure that uses your height and weight to work out if you are fit.
Some cities in China have included BMI in the PE test for zhongkao. For example, Beijing in 2021 announced a policy (政策) that BMI became a subject of the PE test for the zhongkao. Chengdu and Shanghai have also started similar actions.
Zhang Yanshu is a Grade 8 student from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School. He used to be overweight. “It was this summer that I decided to work on my BMI,” Zhang said. He started by running with his dad, and soon took a stamina (体能) course.
Zhang also paid much attention to his diet. His BMI reached a normal level after four months of effort. “My health and willpower (意志力) have seen a big improvement.”
Chen Kaifei, 14, also from Beijing said that BMI is also a problem for students who are too thin, and has caused some “figure anxiety” among students. “However, mostly I think it has a good influence,” Chen said. “Everyone has a better understanding of their body and health conditions, and I started to care about my diet and lifestyle every day, simply to improve my BMI.”
