As a young man from the city, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in Western Pennsylvania.
I can still recall one afternoon when I was eight years old. I had 31 to climb the stone walls near the farm ever since my first visit there. My parents would 32 agree. The walls were old and some stones were missing. Still, my desire(欲望) to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally one spring afternoon, I built up 33 to enter the living room , where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.
“I, uh, I wanna, uh, can I climb the stone walls?” I said in a 34 voice. Everyone looked up. At once a chorus(异口同声) went up. “No!” they cried. “You’ll hurt yourself!” I wasn’t too 35 . The reply was just as I had expected. But, I was stopped by my grandfather 36 I could leave the room. “Now hold on just a minute,” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”
“ 37 .” he said to me, “come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls 38 and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said.
“Fred,” he said, “you made this day a special day just by being 39 .Always remember there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”
Today I host a TV program seen by millions of children in America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing 40 : my message to children at the end of almost every episode(集)—“There’s only one person in this whole world like you.”

A hot Japanese game Travel Frog has become the most downloaded free app on the Apple Store in China these days.
In the game, the frog always goes on trips around Japan and sends back postcards, and sometimes local food. Players are required to do very little: They can grow and collect clover(三叶草) in the yard as in-game money, and help the frog pack for a journey.
Many people have praised the game for its slow pace, saying it meets the needs of younger generations in China to search out “Buddha-style”(佛系) gameplay.
Yuan Huan, a student at Tongji University in Shanghai, said her friend introduced the game to her three days ago.
“Everything is unexpected in life, just like the game. Whenever I start the game, I don't know whether the frog is at home, reading, eating or writing letters.” the 25-year-old said. She said the design of the game is cute, while it requires no skills in fighting, which is good for female players. Like other players, Yuan said she feels like an elderly mom waiting for her children to return home. And she also thinks it is a way of getting out of stress.
According to Ma Xiquan, a doctor of clinical psychology(心理),the frog brings a sense of satisfaction to the players, especially youth living alone. He said，“The game shows the relationship of a traditional Chinese or Japanese family. Players can satisfy their feelings through the process of taking care of the frog.” Ma also pointed out that the game players had the low social needs and they just wanted to live an easy life.
The game now is available for IOS and Android systems, but the Apple store only offers a Japanese version while Android has Chinese and Japanese.
46. Travel Frog is ____________.
A. a free app B. a new novel C. an interesting toy
47. In the game, the players often ____________.

A cultural TV program known as National Treasure on Channel 3 of CCTV has become a hit since it came out, drawing millions of people’s attention in China.
The program shows the most valuable treasures from nine museums across the country. The nine museums each have provided three national treasures for the show. National Treasure introduces the background stories behind each national treasure by using different art forms so that audience can not only understand how to appreciate the beauty of the treasures, but also know the deep meaning they carry. Famous actors and common people play roles of “national treasure keepers” and share stories of these treasures as well as their own ones.
All the 10 episodes(集) have been shown on TV. In the first episode, the Palace Museum exhibits (展示) three treasures : a painting, a large vase, and a stone drum. Li Chen, acting as Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, tells the story of Wang Ximeng’s painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains (《千里江山图》). Wang Kai, performing as Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty in the show, tells the story of the beautiful vase. Hong Kong actor Tony Leung, calls himself a “half Forbidden City man” because he spent a lot of time at the Palace Museum when making the film Reign Behind a Curtain,(《垂帘听政》) in which he played Emperor Xianfeng . This time, he is the keeper of the 2,300-year-old stone drum and acts as Sima Guang from the Northern Song Dynasty.
Yu Lei, director of National Treasure, explains, “Our show is not only for an audience interested in cultural and history, but also for common people, so we invited actors to take part. Just like the audience, these actors don’t know much about the national treasures either. So they can see them from the audience's perspective(观点).”She adds that the show aims to make ancient treasures come alive and it has touched millions of people’s hearts and encouraged more people to carry forward the spirit of craftsman (工匠).

On March 14 this year, one of science’s brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking, the world-famous British scientist, died at 76 in Cambridge, UK.
Hawking is considered by many to be the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory(理论) that the universe began with the Big Bang (大爆炸) and will end in black holes. His theories became the base for a lot of later researches. He also wrote books to help common people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History of Time, which has sold more than 10 million copies around the world.
Besides his scientific achievements, Hawking was also someone who had a strong will and optimistic attitude. When Hawking was 21, he was diagnosed (诊断) with a serious illness that stopped him from walking and talking. Later in life, he had to sit in a wheelchair and “speak” using a computerized voice. But this didn’t stop him from living a meaningful and colorful life.
“If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically (心理上) disabled as well,” he once said.
Hawking traveled around the world to attend science conferences, visiting every continent, including Antarctica(南极洲). He was also a fan of pop culture and appeared on TV shows such as Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory.
He celebrated his 60th birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon. When he was 65, he took part in a zero-gravity(零重力) flight to experience weightlessness. He hoped to travel into space one day.
In 2013, Hawking spoke about how he felt life was unfair when he was first diagnosed with his illness. “But now, 50 years later, I can be quietly satisfied with my life,” he said.
60. When did Stephen Hawking pass away?
61. Why do people regard Hawking as one of the greatest scientists in history?
62. What did the serious illness bring to Hawking?
63. Was Hawking interested in pop culture besides science?
64. How did Hawking celebrate his sixty-fifth birthday?

What can be both red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by someone? Yes, the answer is chilies(辣椒).
65. 在中国，许多人喜欢在食物里添加辣椒, but did you know that this spicy(辛辣的) vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-old US man recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili in the world. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from “thunderclap”headaches in the following few days.
66. At present, reports of stomachache and headache caused by eating spicy food are not something unusual. But if chilies are harmful, why are human beings the only animals to eat this vegetable? And what makes people love chilies so much? 67. After eating chilies, the human body will produce a kind of material that makes people have a sense of happiness.
And the benefits go even further than just personal enjoyment. A survey found that the death rate(死亡率) of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. 68. For those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week, the number dropped to 14 percent . And another study done by the University of Vermont came to a similar result. The data encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health.
Capsaicin(辣椒素) has the effect of preventing cancer and the ability to increase our metabolism(新陈代谢). So, don’t worry if you love spicy food. 69.事实上，辣椒似乎对我们的健康有好处。 – Except for the Carolina Reaper, perhaps.
