Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei. For three days the water in the village wells(井)rose and fell, rose and fell. In the farm yards, the chickens and even the pigs were too nervous to eat. Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide. Fish jumped out of their pools. At about 3: 00 a m, on July 28, 1976, some people saw bright lights in the sky. The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky. But the one million people of the city, who thought little of these events, were asleep as usual that night.
At 3: 42 a.m. everything began to shake. It seemed as if the world was at an end! One of the greatest earthquakes of the 20th century had begun. It was felt in Beijing, which is more than two hundred kilometers away. One-third of the nation felt it. Thousands of families in Tangshan were killed and many children were left without parents. The number of people who died or got hurt reached more than 400,000.
All hope was not lost. Soon after the earthquake, hundreds of thousands of people were helped. The army organized people to dig out those who were buried (埋葬), Workers built camps for survivors. Fresh water was taken by volunteers to the city. Slowly, the city began to breathe.

People are playing video games everywhere these days, whether they're riding a bus or sitting in a restaurant. Some of them enjoy these games so much that they can't put them down. But is this a healthy habit? The World Health Organization (WHO) doesn't think so. In June, it recognized“ gaming disorder(障碍)” as a mental disorder in its International Classification of Diseases, CNN reported.
"Gaming disorder means continuous or repeated video-gaming behavior, whether online or offline. Of course, not everyone who plays video games has this disorder. It has three main signs.
The first sign is when the player loses control over his or her gaming habits. The second is when playing games becomes more important than other activities for the player. The third is when the condition leads to serious problems in the player's personal and family life.
In fact, some countries are already working to solve this problem. South Korea has introduced a law banning (A iE) children under 16 from playing online games between midnight and 6 a.m., USA Today reported. Chinese tech company Tencent is also setting limits on the amount of time that teenagers can play its games. Children between 12 and 18 years old can only play two hours every day.
If you have “gaming disorder", you should ask for professional medical (E 7) help. But if your condition is not that serious, you don’t have to see a doctor. You can use delayed satisfaction to deal with it.
For example, if you want to play video games on weekdays, you can wait to play them during the weekend for three hours. Or if you really want to play them after school, you can tell yourself that you cannot do so until you have finished your homework.

Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales, like “True love can overcome anything.” and “Even a frog can turn into a prince". However, at a certain age, we start to learn new things about life, especially that love doesn't always win, and that a frog is just a frog..
“Fairy tales have always been with us because they are the stories of our lives in their simplest form.” wrote US author Laura Packer on the National Storytelling Network website. “They are stories of love and loss, desire and death, riches and ruin.”
Fairy tales are all about reality (现实). But if children only see just one side of reality, adults usually see the other.
For example, in the 2014 film Maleficent, we’re told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the eyes of the evil(邪恶的) queen. Unlike the children’s eyes of the story, we see that the queen wasn’t born evil. Instead, she is in a lot of troubles as she grows up, which leads to the creation of her “evil” side. And in US author James Finn Gamer’s book Politically Correct Bedtime Stories, he tells the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood, but with a modern version: When the wolf tells Red Riding Hood that it isn't safe for a little girl to walk through the woods alone, she calls the wolf sexist(性别歧视者), which relates to today’s opinions that girls aren't weaker than boys.
It seems that fairy tales aren't just stories that our parents read us at bedtime. They may usually start with "Once upon a time.” but as we grow older, we learn that every story doesn't always need a "Happily ever after" to be a good one.

3.What can we infer from the text?

B.Adults usually see the other side of fairy tales.
C.Our understanding of fairy tales changes as we grow up.
D.Children and adults always enjoy different kinds of fairy tales.
4.The best title of the passage may be

Garbage or trash is a main kind of environmental pollution. Each person makes about two kilograms a day. We are making waste faster than nature can break them down. And we are running out of resources（资源）faster than they can be dealt with. This increases troubles for the environment .Where does all that garbage go? What can be done to help deal with garbage? How can we make less garbage?
Garbage isn’t just the rotting (腐烂的) fruit, vegetables or meat that we throw away in our homes, schools or supermarkets. Those are only a small part of all the things we throw away. We create the most waste in construction, mining and in our factories.
___________Most is burned or buried in landfills( 垃圾填埋场)Less than a quarter of our waste can be used again.
With a population of 13 billion, garbage is a big problem for China. Chinese cities create around 148 million tons of garbage every year.
Once, we used about 3 billion plastic shopping bags every day in China. The result was a great waste of resources and serious pollution. Last year, we did something about that. Now we use more cloth bags and shopping baskets when we shop.
In the coming years, China will build waste-to-energy plants in cities to clean up garbage, but there's a lot more that needs to be done.
