<p class="ql-block">We all dream about things that we would like to do and things we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody's dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams，and thousands of students across China took part in it.</p><p class="ql-block">What are the hopes of teenagers?</p><p class="ql-block">We received several different answers to the question：What would you like to do after finishing your education? It seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents. Other students hope to continue studying after finishing school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.</p><p class="ql-block">What are the dreams of teenagers?</p><p class="ql-block">Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic(现实的) than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And quite a few said they dream of going to the moon one day. According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some said they’d like to go on exciting trips; one student said she’d love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they’d like to be able to fly!</p><p class="ql-block">Conclusion</p><p class="ql-block">It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. Besides，students dream of very different things：good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams； one day they may just come true.</p><p class="ql-block">1.Some students would like to start work to ______ as soon as possible.</p><p class="ql-block">A. find jobs they enjoy</p><p class="ql-block">B. achieve their dreams</p><p class="ql-block">C. to help look after their families</p><p class="ql-block">D. make money to go to university</p><p class="ql-block">2.What is important to students about their work they do?</p><p class="ql-block">A.

Two days later the spaceship successfully connected with the space laboratory Tiangong-2. It meant China got closer to its plan of building a space station in 2020.</p><p class="ql-block">The spaceship took two Chinese astronauts to space this time. Jing Haipeng was an experienced astronaut who flew on Shenzhou-7 in 2008 and Shenzhou-9 in 2012. But it was Chen Dong’s first space flight.</p><p class="ql-block">Jing and Chen were given a 30-day task on Tiangong-2. They tested new technology and did experiments to prepare for future space station tasks. The astronauts themselves were also the subject(对象) of those experiments. The life support devices(设备) they used and how they lived inside the space laboratory were studied. No Chinese astronaut had stayed in space for that long before.</p><p class="ql-block">A month-long space task was not easy, so Chinese scientists and engineers had come up with lots of new technologies to allow astronauts to stay more safely and more comfortably in space.</p><p class="ql-block">One of the new technologies tested during this task was a device called “space hospital”. The space hospital was two little silver boxes tied around the two astronauts’ legs. Through the “space hospital”, scientists and doctors on the Earth could watch the astronauts’ heart rate and temperature. When the astronauts felt tired, the “space hospital” could even massage(为……按摩) them.</p><p class="ql-block">After this task, China is expected to send an unmanned cargo spaceship(无人货运飞船) in mid-April next year. It will dock with Tiangong-2 and take new fuel to the space laboratory.</p><p class="ql-block">1.The spaceship docked with the space laboratory Tiangong-2 on _______.</p><p class="ql-block">A.

Does it look like anything? Is it supposed to be like …?</p><p class="ql-block">Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didn’t want their art to be realistic. They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.</p><p class="ql-block">Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his “blue period”). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his “rose period”). Many of his other paintings are called “cubist” because they are made of painted squares.</p><p class="ql-block">After a long time, Picasso’s paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so original that many of his fellow artists didn’t understand it.</p><p class="ql-block">Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings.</p><p class="ql-block">Other artist like the surrealists, were interested in subconscious(潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their works. The meaning or subject of their work wasn’t always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that look like dreams.</p><p class="ql-block">There are still many abstract artists around the world. That’s the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.</p><p class="ql-block">1.Which would be most like abstract art?</p><p class="ql-block">A.

You may feel you want to be on your own and make your own decisions, but it can also seem a bit lonely at times.</p><p class="ql-block">Another important cause for mood swings is biology.
