In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . About
five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly
there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the
way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all
the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的 . No
one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who
arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .
Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit,
find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will
probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do
well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at
table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a
man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake
of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria
will most probably leave you thirsty .
In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no' . At a meal in
countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you

drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand
and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.
In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even
at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you
should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult (成人) ——it's just not done in Thailand .
1. The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the
gentlemen _________ .
A. were foreigners B. didn't have tickets

you should _________.

A. to use the right hand for passing food at table.

A. People's Everyday Life
B. Mind Your Manners
C. Shaking and Nodding Head
D. Taking a Bus in England
答案及解析：

1．D。这是一道句子理解题，也可以看成细节题。在第一自然段的最后，有这样的句子：
No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who
arrives at a bus stop is the first person to get on the
bus．从此句可知那三位先生并不知道在英国乘车的习惯，所以答案是D。
2. B。这是一道细节题。答案在第二自然段的第二个句子。
3．B。同第二题一样，此题也是细节题。可在第二自然段直接找到答案。
4．A。单句理解题。最后一个自然段中有说：In Europe it is quite usual to cross
your legs When you are sitting talking to someone even at an important
meetin g．这个句子的意思是：在欧洲，开会时翘二郎腿是很常见的。这说明许多人有这样
的习惯，所以答案应 该是A。

5．B。通读全文就会发现，只学习一门外语是不够的，还要多 了解该国的风俗习惯，否则
就会遇到麻烦，所以答案是B。

Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on

Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive
the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would
win.
One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest
here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we
will die.”
They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were
four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.
The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they
climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the
sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over.
Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the
Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did
not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.
The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it.
But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.

has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperatures have reduced the supply
of fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproduce(繁殖).
Besides，many adult penguins die of hunger.
Widespread(广泛的) fishing，exploration for oil and oil leaks(漏) also make penguins
be in danger. Poisonous organisms(生物) in ocean water are another danger. Penguins also have
their enemies，including wild dogs，sharks，seals and sea lions.
News about penguins is not all bad，however. Several years ago，oil leaking from a
ship hurt 40% of the penguins in South Africa. The penguins became covered with oil. But
thousands of people helped clean and treat the birds well. Then they returned the penguins to the
wild. Now these South African penguins are reproducing in higher numbers than before the oil
leaking.

For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his
father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that

interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least
one year.
To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or
two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a
week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin’s artistic side would shine through.
Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide.
Lin’s eyes moved down the notice board that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at
“Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student
needed their own camera. Although Lin’s family weren’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a
camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.
The next course to catch his eye was “Language Art”. He didn’t even know what that meant.
His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, could think
of nothing worse.
Then he saw it. “Cooking” sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and
convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.
Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts, but he agreed. Much to his parents’
surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at
home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they
could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.
The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.
Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his
meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received
all those years ago.
26. Why didn’t Lin choose to study photography?
A. It was too expensive.
B. He had no interest in it.
C. He was not very creative.
D. It was not offered that term.
27. The underlined expression “catch his eye” in Paragraph 4 means “ ”.
A. make him excited
C. get his attention
B. cause him surprise
D. help him see clearly
28. Which of the following best describes Lin’s interesting cooking?
A. It only lasted for a short time.
B. It seemed to match his character.
C. It was forced on him by his parents.
D. It developed slowly over many months.
29. Why did the father have doubts about Lin’s choice of cooking?

A. Lin wasn’t good at cooking.
C. He didn’t think Lin would continue.
30. What’s the best title for the passage?

Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might
surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few centuries.
Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant
experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked
from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.
There were eating places travellers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was
full of inns that would serve food. And there were taverns where one could get drinks. The rich
could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called a
“restaurant”.
A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups
( 汤 ). On his sign he used the word “restaurant” to describe what he was selling. At that time,
soups were considered something that could help “restore” ( 恢 复 ) your health—in French the
word “restore” is “restaurer”—so he called the soups “restaurants”. Soon, people started buying
Boulanger’s soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word
“restaurant” to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself. More “restaurants” opened
in France, and people began to buy soups more often.
Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started
to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. The
United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Paris created
beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant idea
spread throughout the British Empire.
Today cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from
which to choose.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How restaurants developed.
B. What made a good restaurant,
C. Who created the first restaurant.
D. Why restaurants became popular.
32. According to the first paragraph, what made restaurants different from earlier eating
places?
A. Restaurants only served food.
B. Restaurants were more expensive.
C. Restaurants were mainly in cities.
D. Restaurants had a list of meal choices.
33. Who did Boulanger expect to come and eat at his restaurant?
A. Rich people.
A. A person.
A. In the 1600s.
B. Sick people.
B. A place.
B. In the 1700s.
C. Travellers.
C. Illness.
C. In the 1800s.
D. Workers.
D. Soup.
D. In the 1900s.

Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don’t
know is that junk (垃圾) has become a problem in outer space too.
According to BBC News, there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the
earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes ( 望
远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see.
Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high
speeds, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to
astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.

To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces.
For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000
pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.
To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay
in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth’s atmosphere
after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.
Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England
scientists are testing metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then
pulls it into the earth’s atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect
pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.
“The problem is becoming more challenging because we’re sending more objects into space
to help people use their mobile phones and computer,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space
researcher.
“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.
36. What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Telescopes.
C. Pieces of space junk.
B. Satellites.
D. BBC news reports.
37. Why is space junk considered a problem?
A. It burns up after it re-enters the atmosphere.
B. It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth.
C. It could force new space tools to travel at slower speeds.
D. It may crash into other space tools causing damage or death.

the gold coin. The father then asked him to throw it into the well (水井). The son did as he

coin if he carried heavy tools for him. The son accepted. As he returned home and gave the
coin to his father. he was asked to throw it into the well. The boy cried,

People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and
most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a
popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course.
Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how
things work and who or what people were.
Everything in today’s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple
as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not
understand them and become very sick or even die.
Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very
dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is
written and explain the meaning of them.
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our
time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen
(加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.
With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to
anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think
people should read books.
46 What activity is less popular these days than before?
A. Reading a book. B. Listening to the radio.
C. Watching TV.D. Surfing the Internet.
47. We can learn from the second paragraph that _______.
36 64

A reading can improve your memory
B, reading can make you interesting and attractive
C. reading can make you smarter
D. reading can reduce stress
48. The underlined word
A. the books they are reading
B. the directions on a medicine bottle
C. the good reading skills
D. the words a doctor tells a sick person
49. Some people disagree to read books because they think _________.
A. walking in the city also needs reading skills
B. driving along the road is dangerous
C reading books is very helpful for our abilities
D. reading books just wastes their time
50. The best title of the passage can be _________.
A. People Should Enjoy Themselves
B. How We Improve Reading Skills

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence (智力)
and feelings.
37 64

In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there
have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and
the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these
states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a scientific report, IQ (智商)
of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind,
their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather,
on the other hand (另一方面), can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United
States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for
thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold
weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18 ℃, people become
stronger.
Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful People leave more bags on buses
and in shops on low-pressure days. There is a
temperature of about I8℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather's problem.
51. What kind of weather can have a bad effect (影响) on health?
A. Hot and wet weather .B. Good weather. C. Warm weather. D. High intelligence.
52. When may people have more intelligence?
A. When a rain comes .B. When very hot weather comes.
C. When a strong wind comes. D. When low air pressure comes.
53. How may low air pressure make people feel?
A. Forgetful. B. Sad. C. Angry. D. Tired.

A. People are very forgetful.B. People can’t do their work well.

C. Thin people feel cold.D. People are in better health.
55. What does the writer want to tell us?

Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it
might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few
centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided
the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink
that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.
There were eating places travellers could go to centuries before that. The countryside
was full of inns that would serve food. And there were taverns where one could get drinks.
The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be
called a “restaurant”.
A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold
soups(汤). On his sign he used the word
time, soups were considered something that could help 恢复)your health- in French
the word “restaurer”--- so he called the soups
buying Boulanger's soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use
the word

Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus
started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the
world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China.
Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the
restaurant idea spread throughout the British Empire.
Today cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from
which to choose.

My holiday is coming. Yesterday I asked my friends about the best way to travel in the USA.
They said the best way was to go by bus and told me the reasons.
To fly, of course, is the fastest way, but you can’t see anything during your stay in the air but
the blue sky and white clouds. So it’s not very interesting to you. And the cost is very high.
To travel by train is relaxing, because you can walk and buy food and drinks on it. You
can also see cities and the countryside through the windows. But sometimes it's crowded on
the train. And it's hard to buy train tickets during holidays.
To travel by bus is easy, cheap and convenient, though not so fast as travelling by plane or
so comfortable as by train. You can find buses almost in every city, big or small. That makes
travel easy.

A squirrel(松鼠)that was nearly killed nine years ago continues to visit the family that
saved,
raised and later sent her into the wild.
In October 2009, a four-week-old squirrel was almost killed by an owl(猫头鹰). Luckily,
a wildlife rescue group saved her and left her in the care of Brantley Harrison and her family
in South Carolina. The Harrisons often look after wild animals and later send them back into
the wild.
The Harrisons named her Bella. With three other squirrels, Bella stayed in Brantley's care
until spring. During her stay Bella acted similarly to the other squirrels. In April 2010, the
squirrels were sent back into the wild. Bella, however, wasn't ready to leave her human family.
Within days of being released, she started visiting them, looking for treats. Brantley said that
the other squirrels also came back over the first few days, but within a week they stopped
coming by and began to avoid people.
“Bella usually sits at the front door, waiting for someone to notice her. She comes almost
day,” said Brantley. Her husband John often brings Bella nuts as she is usually waiting by the
door for him. Actually Bella has become a member of the family.
For nine years, she continues to visit them. Brantley said,

Recently, a scientist has invented a special robot that can be a table tennis coach. That
means people can practice table tennis not only with humans but also with a robot.
Named Forpheus, the smart table tennis robot is quite special. It can study the
movements of human players and the speeds of the ball. In this way, it can exactly judge (判
断) the player' skill levels (水平). Then it uses the information to change the ways to play. If
the player are just beginners, Forpheus will play in a slow and easy way, but if the players are
better ones, the robot will play in a faster and more difficult way. What's more, while playing,
it encourages players to try their beat with words like

and a clever coach.

Many animals around us are smart. Let’s get to know some of them.
Dolphins are smarter animals in the sea. Researchers put sea animals to a test. In the test,
the researchers made red marks on the animal’s bodies and took them in front of a mirror.
Many sea animals either ran away or fought with the ones in the mirror. However, when the
dolphins saw themselves in the mirror, they tried to clean the red marks off their bodies. So
the researchers believed that the dolphins knew the ones in the mirror were just themselves.

Bees work hard, and they are smart enough to learn something. Researchers found a
group of bees and taught them to tell which horizontal line (水平线) was higher than the
other. If they could find the higher line, they would get sugar as a prize. After training for a
period of time, the researchers tested the bees. To their surprise, the bees found the higher
horizontal line quickly and got sugar. Instead, when the researchers showed them vertical
lines (垂直线), the bees simply flew away, because they knew there was no way to get sugar.

Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) are very human-like. They can learn fast and well. Researchers
showed the numbers from one to nine on the screen. Chimpanzees and some college students
were asked to remember where the numbers were after watching the numbers in less than a
second. The adult chimpanzees and the college students performed almost the same, but the
young chimpanzees performed much better. It was amazing.

A person has two ears but only one mouth. That means we should listen, not just speak.
The word
that we should have. Then why is it important to be a good listener?
Listening is really helpful.
When someone is sad or angry, he wants to express his poor feelings. At this moment,
we need to listen silently first until he gets calm (冷静的). Then we may have a good talk
with him. Maybe it is a good way to help him out.
Listening is a kind of love.
For example, we may think our parents are always talking too much. But in fact, they do
so because they are anxious about our health, study and so on. If we listen patiently, our
53 64

parents will feel we care about them. A loving silence is often more powerful (有力量的)
than words.
Listening is polite behavior.
Sometimes, we just want others to listen to us but forget to listen to others. In fact, that's
not polite. In order to show our respect(尊重) for others, we had better listen to them first.
Then we can express our ideas.
Listening sounds easy， but it's not. Every head is a world. So we should learn to listen
with our ears, eyes and hearts as much as we can, and try to make ourselves good listeners
from now on.
49. When someone is sad or angry, we should _____ first.
A. listen to him silently
B. express our poor feelings

During the summer holiday, some students might have been busy with traveling,
summer camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school
students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.
Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12
days, they made more than 1,500 yuan.
Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all
cousins in
a big family and eight of them are from rural areas.
“Compared to traveling, such social practice connects us and makes us learn how
tough our parents are,” said Dalin,18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high
graduate, and her 12-year-old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.
They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up
at 3 o’clock. Some of them went to the farmer’s market to buy vegetables. Some of them
went to the local market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位）. To lower the cost,
they learned to bargain (讲价）with the sellers.
At about 6:30 am, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled (吆喝 ) loudly to
attract（吸引）customers. After several days, they got some experience, too.
For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When
the vegetables are too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag.
When they finally packed up and went home, they had a small meeting. Everyone
took notes and shared their feelings.
“We are tired,” said Dalin. “but we gained a lot”.

From a young age, I’ve had a really deep connection with being outside. I’ve been
skiing since I was eight or nine years old. I’ve been on expeditions（探险）in many
places like China, Pakistan and so on. But it was in my home country, the USA, that I
came closest to death.
It was April 1, 2011. I was skiing in the Tetons with my friends Jeremy and Xavier,
both experienced snowboarders. That day, I was the last person to ski. They were
watching me from a safe area. Suddenly, I heard someone cry loudly. I turned around
and saw the whole mountain start to move behind me. It was a massive avalanche（大
雪崩）. The kind of avalanche that destroys trees, cars, buses, even houses! Tens of
thousands of tons of snow were coming straight down the mountain behind me. I felt
the snow push me forward, hundreds of meters, and then cover me. It was so heavy
that I couldn’t breathe. And then it pushed me forward again and up, out of the
snowpack. I looked around, and for a few seconds I actually stopped being terrified. I
had a moment to pause and to look at the power of the avalanche.
I looked down into the bottom of the valley（峡谷）. I could see trees that were 30m
tall, because I was so far away, they looked tiny to me. “OK, I’ m going all the way to
60 64

the bottom!” I thought. Then the snow pushed me again down the mountain another
450m. I thought the force of the snow would destroy me, it was powerful. But in the end,
I felt the avalanche slow down and l just popped（迸出） right out of the snow at the
bottom of the valley.
It took Jeremy and Xavier about 20 minutes to reach me. There was a pile of debris
（碎片）across the bottom of the mountain 300m wide. They couldn’t believe it when
they saw me. I was
so lucky.
Has the experience changed me? Do I think about life differently? I don’t know,
maybe. But I do know that it’s important to live your life with meaning. Life is a gift, so
use it wisely.

China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always
been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern
Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two
meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25
kilograms of beef at a time.
However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables
and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount (数量) of fruit, such
as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut
them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in
baskets and boxes.
The difference could be due to the different weather.
Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many
northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot
and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or
one day, or else the food may go bad.
51. In southern China, people usually buy _____ at a time.
A. a small amount of foodB. a large amount of food
C. enough food for a weekD. a lot of meat and vegetables
52. If you buy fruits in the south, the shop owners may _______.

C. only sell them in boxes and baskets

Every school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school. They are a big
part of our lives. But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag?
In the Han Dynasty (汉朝), students in old-style private schools used bamboo boxes to
carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. They
were usually two or three layers (层) in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes,
ink stones (砚) and paper in the boxes.
Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or
the budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding (成立) of
the People's Republic of China, military rucksacks (军用帆布包) became popular. Many
people carried them when they were in school. Ask your grandparents or parents about these
bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in
school.
A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colorful and
fashionable designs (时尚的设计) on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And
they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy
textbooks and others carry backpacks.
Schoolbags are still changing. Can you imagine what future schoolbags will be like?
56. Schoolbags in the Han Dynasty were made of _______.
