Central Park
Explore Central Park, one of the largest city parks in the world and one of the most famous symbols of New York. Let’s have a look at its main sights.
Central Park is New York’s largest city park and one of the biggest in the world, with an area of 843 acres (about 3.4km2). This park is home to man-made lakes, waterfalls, grass and wooded areas. You will also find the Central Park Zoo, among other attractions in this greenspace of New York.
Besides being the city’s primary green lungs, Central Park is also a favorite spot for many New Yorkers. It is perfect for sunbathing, going for walks, or doing any outdoor sports. Something that we found curious is seeing so many people running with their babies in prams (婴儿车).
On Foot or by Bicycle
To get to know some of the wildest parts of Central Park we suggest walking. However, to get a general feel for the whole park, the best thing to do is hire a bicycle and enjoy the scenery.
If you decide to hire a bike, you will find lots of bike rental stores around Central Park that are not very expensive.

From 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on weekdays.

Letting me move into my university dormitory wasn’t an easy decision for my parents. However, they knew if I wanted a good education, I’d have to live away from home. I’d always dream of living alone the life of no rules and regulations and being independent. So I was delighted about this new stage in my life.
Unexpectedly, during the first few months of living alone, I would find myself crying every day. I would call my mum every day. Coming from a big family, I was used to noises surrounding me. Therefore, the scary silence at night was the worst. I couldn’t even sleep without keeping the lights on.
As time went by, I started enjoying the freedom that came with living alone. I could do things in my own time: eat whenever I want, wake up whenever I want. The space of loneliness was also then filled up by friends who became like family, so I started missing my family less.
When it was time to say goodbye and go back home after my graduation I was bittersweet. I’d enjoyed my time alone, learning things which wouldn’t have been possible if I had never moved away from home. But I’d also missed my family too much.
I’d learned a lot from this experience. Living alone made me value family time even more. I realized every second with them was important though I might not get the freedom while living alone.
I guess it’s different for everybody, but for me, there is no warmth in a house unless it’s filled with loving members and people you love.

C. The author felt warm living with his beloved ones.
D. Everyone felt warm when living with his beloved ones.

B. As time goes by, people can get used to what happened.
C. People can find freedom only when they leave their family.
D. People need to grow up on their own, but family plays an important role.

Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyle, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average person at school, you'll receive a higher salary in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school.
On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 "friends" on their favourite social networking site. Adults have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich.
However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won't make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum of 150 people.
Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You've mostly known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they're close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren't close. And finally, there's a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don't know them well. Beyond this number, Bunbar says, it's impossible to make any relationship meaningful.
If you have a lot of online "friends", try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven't been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can't remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn't mind losing touch with. How many do you have left How many of these people are actually good friends According to the research, these are the only people that really matter.
8. What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about
A. The number of friends you should have.
B. The advantages of having a lot of friends.
C. Some social skills you may need at work.
D. Some useful advice on how to make friends.
9. According to the American study, the most popular students at school ________.
A. are likely to spend more money. B. may not be as popular at work
C. seem to get better- paid jobs. D. will work harder in later years.
10. What does the underlined part "this number" in paragraph 4 refer to
A. 10. B. 35. C. 100. D. 150.
11. What does the text mainly want to show
A. You need to spend more time with your friends.
B. Friends are sometimes more important than family.
C. There is a lot of research on the influence of friends.
D. It's more important to have good friends.
D
In 2015, Chennai was destroyed by one of the worst floods in over a century, leaving thousands without food, water and supplies. During the flood, many heroes arose, one of whom was Santosh, a young man who owned a take-out restaurant in Chennai.
When the first flood hit in November, he got a call from a company called Naga Rava. The company asked him to prepare 5,000 packets of food and give them to the flood victims. He, with his partners, took the order, cooked for 14 hours and delivered(递送) them. But that night, as they sat together discussing the event of the day, they actually felt ashamed(羞愧). “Here was a man not even from Chennai and he was going out of his way to help the affected people. We, while living here, had not really done anything ourselves for our own people,” said Santosh later.
He then began the groundwork for a collection to help cook more dishes. Little did he know that the November flood was just the beginning, and the real show was about to begin. The December flood affected them all. His own house got flooded and his family was trapped on the second floor. They lost phone connection and electricity. In spite of this, Santosh went back out into the flood, creating a kitchen and preparing food all by himself for the victims.
He did not sleep for four days, taking a one-hour break every day as he kept on cooking. As word got out about this man’s effort, others stepped out to join him. From children to the elderly, strangers came to help him in cooking, packing and transporting food. Up to 300 volunteers worked together to make it all happen. By the time the fourth day finally came to an end, Santosh and his team had prepared 170,000 food boxes and delivered them to people in need.
12. What inspired Santosh to help the affected people
A. A call for help. B. His cooking skills.
C. An act of kindness of a stranger. D. The encouragement from his partners.
13. What does “the real show” in the third paragraph refer to
A. The help and support. B. The severer flood.
C. Santosh’s family suffering. D. Santosh’s cooking more food.
14. Which of the following can best describe Santosh
A. Energetic and helpful. B. Determined and clever.
C. Selfless and caring. D. Kind and wise.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Many Hands Make Light Work

C. Major Floods Brought Challenges To People
D. A Man Cooked 170,000 Meals For The Affected

The rapid develop of the Internet in China has brought us greatly convenience in our daily life and work. We can get whichever we need online. But I do not agree on this opinion, because sometimes I found many students playing the computer games, which makes them fall behind in study. In my opinion, the Internet should be a good tool for us communicate with others rather than an invention for a fun. What’s more, it will do harm to us if we spend too much time look at a computer. In summary, I hope every student value this great invention but makes good use of it.
