2． As a foreigner living in China，I showed great interest in the beautiful，various characters that seemed to hold so much meaning and history.Wanting to learn more，I decided to start a journey to learn Chinese calligraphy，an ancient and respectable art form in China，.Little did I know，I was about to immerse myself in a world of patience，discipline，and self-expression.
I began by researching the history of Chinese calligraphy and the various styles：the bold and strong oracle bone script（甲骨文），the elegant and flowing grass script，and the standard script，which is used in modern Chinese writing.Armed with this knowledge，I sought out a local calligraphy teacher and began my lessons.
My first few attempts were clumsy，as I struggled to grasp the brush and control the ink.It was challenging to maintain the correct posture and balance while writing，and I found myself exhausted after hours of practice，However，my teacher encouraged me to keep going and not be discouraged by my lack of experience.
Over time，I came to realize that the fundamental essence of Chinese calligraphy is not simply the writing itself but also the spirit and feelings behind it.Each stroke（筆畫） and each character have their own distinct rhythm and cadence.The more I practiced，the more I became accustomed to this pattern，and my writing began to flow more freely.
My journey to learn Chinese calligraphy has not only deepened my appreciation for Chinese culture but also taught me valuable life lessons，It has taught me the importance of patience，perseverance，and self-expression.Now，when I look at Chinese characters，I see not just their beauty but also the stories and emotions they hold within.

3． The Amur leopard is a critically endangered species，with an estimated population of fewer than 100 individuals.The leopards，characterized by their beautiful golden coat with large dark rosettes，are native to the forests of the Russian Far East and northeastern China，They are often considered the rarest big cats in the world，and their numbers have been declining rapidly due to the habitat loss，poaching（偷獵），and the changing climate.
Habitat loss is one of the primary threats facing the Amur leopard.As logging and agricultural activities continue to expand in the region，the leopards are losing their once vast and undeveloped forests.The loss of habitat results in a decrease in prey populations，making it increasingly difficult for the leopards to find enough food.In addition to the habitat loss，poaching poses a significant threat to the survival of the species，Amur leopards are often hunted for their unique and attractive fur，which can fetch high prices on the black market.
Climate change is also impacting the Amur leopard population，As temperatures rise，the forests they rely on are undergoing changes，forcing the leopards to adapt to new conditions.This puts additional stress on an already struggling population.
Conservation efforts are underway to try and save the Amur leopards from extinction.Government established the Land of the Leopard National Park，which covers a significant portion of the leopard's habitat.This protected area is essential in ensuring the survival of the species.Additionally，organizations like WWF are working to curb（遏制）poaching and promote sustainable forestry practices in the region.
Despite these efforts，the future of the Amur leopard remains uncertain，It is crucial that we continue to work towards the preservation of this magnificent creature，or we risk losing it forever.
（1）What can we learn about the Amur leopard from the first paragraph？
A．It is as big as a cat.
B．It is at risk of extinction.
C．It can only be found in China.
D．It is known for its strange appearance.
（2）What is the main reason for people to hunt Amur leopards？
A．To make money.
B．To seek pleasure.
C．To protect the forests.
D．To save other animals.
（3）What is a consequence of climate change according to the text？
A．The Amur leopard's migration to new habitats.
B．Easier ways for Amur leopards to find food.
C．Extra stress on the Amur leopard population.
D．Deadly destruction of the Amur leopard's habitats.

9．Last summer，my friends and I went on a camping trip in the mountains，We were all excited about the adventure ahead，but little did we know what was in store for us.
We arrived at the campsite in the late afternoon.The sun was setting，and the sky was painted with hues of orange and pink.We set up our tents and started a fire to cook our dinner，As we sat around the fire，we planned our activities for the next day，We decided to go on a hike to see the nearby waterfall.
The next morning，we woke up early and set out on our hike.The trail was steep and narrow，but the scenery was breathtaking.We passed through the forests and crossed the streams.As we got higher，the air became colder and thinner.We had to stop frequently to catch our breath.
After a few hours of hiking，we finally reached the waterfall.It was amazing.The water fell down from a great height，and the mist created a rainbow.We sat down to catch our breath and take in the beauty of the waterfall.
But our adventure was far from over.As we were about to leave，we noticed dark clouds gathering overhead.It started raining heavily，and we realized that we had not brought any rain gear.We were completely soaked（濕透）and trembling in the cold.We decided to take shelter in a nearby cave until the rain stopped.
The cave was dark and damp，but it gave us a brief relief from the rain.We sat there for what seemed like hours，waiting for the rain to stop.But it only got worse.The thunder was so loud that it echoed through the cave，and the lightning was so bright that it lit up the cave like daylight.
注意：
（1）續寫詞數應為 150左右；

We were scared and worried.
That night，as we sat around the fire，we reflected on our adventure.
