The full name of this three-year-old star is Cheng Hehua. She lives in Chengdu, and visitors may wait for up to three hours to just see her. Some time ago, she had a new job—the honorary chief of the Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Culture, Broadcast-TV and Tourism (成都文旅荣誉局长). Why do people like her Because she is shorter than other pandas of her age, which makes her look a little fat and cute. Some people even describe her as a rice ball when she sits.
There is a king in the water, the giant Amazonian water lily. She needs a lot of sunshine to grow well so she often fights with other plants in the same water. No other plants can live near her spiky buds (有尖刺的花蕾). She can move her buds to make more room for herself. Her leaves grow 20 cm a day and each of them can grow to over 2 meters wide (宽的). And she can have seven to eight leaves. The leaves are very strong. You can even stand on them! That makes other plants go away. And all her leaves are next to each other.

She said her mother was fighting against cancer. “I trained for today’s success for a year. Every time I thought of my mother and my family, I just couldn’t give up (放弃).”

【答案】例文
Last week, I did a survey about the programs that classmates watch in their free time. Here are the results.
To my surprise, half of the students dislike watching news. And 35 percent of them don’t mind it. Only 15 percent of them love watching news. As for soap operas, 75 percent of the students like watching them, and 25 percent of them can’t stand them. I think some soap operas are meaningless and a waste of time. We shouldn’t spend too much time on them.
I like watching CCTV news, because it can help me learn something new and useful. I can also broaden my horizons.
