Please remember, at your back stands a strong motherland.”The movie sends the message that overseas Chinese will always receive timely help from China. But in the future, some headstrong(任性的) citizens will not get this help for free, Peoples Daily reported.On March 26, the Ministry of Foreign Affaires (MFA) worked out a draft for regulations on consular (领事的) protection and assistance, the Xinhua News Agency reported. The draft says that those who insist on travelling to dangerous places without considering warnings given by the MFA will not be able to take advantage of free rescue services.For example, the MFA recently release a travel advisory (安全提醒) saying that Chinese citizens should avoid travelling to Maldives. Chinese who travel there and run into trouble may still ask for aid from the Chinese Embassy. But they will have to cover the cost of their rescue later.In fact, this is a common international practice, Peoples Daily said. Countries like the US, the UK and Canada have similar regulations.According to the MFA, over 130 million Chinese mainlanders travelled overseas in 2020. The MFA issued over1000 travel advisories to advise Chinese citizens of the risks they may face when travelling.8Why does the author quote a line from Wolf Warrior 2 ?ATo explain what the movie is about.BTo describe the feelings after watching the movie.CTo stress that China will help every Chinese person.DTo prove how strong China is.9Who usually gives warnings about travelling abroad?APeoples Daily BThe MFA CXinhua News AgencyDTravel agencies.10The draft suggests that _.AChinese people cant travel to foreign placesBFree rescue services have come to an endCChinese who travel to Maldives will run into troubleDPeople will not get free help if they ignore the MFAs warnings11If the regulation is put into practice, we can infer that _.AChina will be the first country in the world to do soBPeople may have second thoughts about travelling to dangerous placesCThe number of people who can travel overseas will be less than 130 millionDOnly rich people will be able to afford to travel overseasDFrom the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations, human beings have achieved many successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress.The international space station is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also necessary. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for observing the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The US seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone, and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyones effort and will benefit everyone.But even so, the funds needed are still a big problem. As for the US, it seems that it has too many things to spend its money on. Although it is the richest country in the world, it has much debt every year. It has to try to find a balance in all these issues.12What is the authors attitude towards building and developing the international space station？ASupportive. BDoubtful.CWorried.
