Last week my husband and I took a trip to visit friends and go skiing（滑雪）．During my time as a p（1） ， I had flown over these huge mountains many times， admiring the shiny， snow﹣covered mountain tops from above． However， until last week， I never visited（2） at ground level．
The first day we went skiing， we’d（3） into the mountains． Soon we followed the roads along the sides of mountains to the ski places． There we parked our car， I p（4） _ on my skis（滑雪板）and went ahead to the lift．
As I rode the lift even higher up the mountain， I watched the people b（5） move along the snow． At the top of the lift everything was so amazing and beautiful． I was（6） _ （站） on the mountain top， which was circled by more snow﹣covered mountains﹣it seemed that I had moved into a（7） （明信片）． I took a moment to reflect on the（8） _ （自然的） beauty around me． It was valuable， not strong， and easily broken!

We experienced a special period in 2020． Xu Yi， a middle school student from Hubei， told something（1） （interest） to us． Let's check out his story and resolution for the new term．
When Xu Yi was learning English as（2） exchange student in the UK，his English friend（3）
（invite） him to take a Chinese culture course． Then， at 9：30 a．m． the next day， it finally came． He followed the friend to the classroom and was welcomed （4） his classmates． They gave him presents， which moved and excited him．
The lesson was about an ancient Chinese character （字体） called Xiaozhuan． The teacher （5） （clear） explained it from its history to development， how it worked in society and why it was so popular in Qin Dynasty． She also taught the differences between Xiaozhuan（6） the modern Chinese character．
On the one hand， Xu Yi takes pride in Chinese culture． On the o（7） hand， it's a shame that he knows almost nothing about it． As the culture reaches the world， the Chinese should study more about it． As a senior high school student， he is going to read as many（8） （book） as possible to open his mind． He hopes every Chinese person will love and （9） /ˈvæljuː/Chinese culture． After all， everyone is responsible for building and keeping it．
