If you are currently learning English,I highly recommend you check out the apps below.
Quizlet
When learning English,you probably have to memorize a lot of words.If you want to grow your vocabulary as fast as possible,a flashcard app like Quizlet is a great shortcut.With Quizlet,you can create a set of flashcards with new English words you are trying to learn,and practice typing them out until you know them by heart.It's a simple concept,but it's highly effective.
Spotify
Spotify is not a language learning app.But chances are that you already use it or a similar app for listening to music or podcasts(播客),and one of the effective ways to study is combining something you already use into your existing habits.If Spotify is already on your phone,you can subscribe to some podcasts for English learners or download playlists of songs for learning English,or make your own.
Beelinguapp
Beelinguapp makes reading in English as convenient as possible.It shows you a text in your own language with the English translation side-by-side.Texts are short enough so that you can really dig into every word.They cover topics from fairytales,to science,to current news articles.There's even a "karaoke" feature where you can read along to audio,which helps you match up the English pronunciation with the English spellings.
Tandem
Tandem is a language exchange app which connects learners from all over the world.It can help you find a native English speaker who is trying to learn your native language,so you can swap language skills.If you only have five minutes to spare,you can simply exchange messages with a native English speaker.If you have more time,you can have a longer,digital language exchange by sharing voice notes,or using video chat.It's a great way to test your English skills out with real people.

Table tennis may not seem a reasonable option for someone with no arms—but Ibrahim Hamadtou doesn't believe in limits.The 48-year-old Egyptian Paralympian breaks the barrier by holding the paddle(球拍)in his mouth and using his right foot to serve the ball.
Hamadtou,who lost his arms in a train accident at the age of ten,was drawn to table tennis after being challenged by a friend. "I was once watching a match between two of my friends," Hamadtou explains. "They disagreed on a point.When I counted the point in favor of one of them,the other player told me, 'Mind your own business as you will never be able to play.' It was that statement that fired me up to decide to play table tennis."
It took Hamadtou three years to master the sport.He says the biggest challenge was figuring out the best way to control his body. "I was trying first to use the bat under the arm,and I also tried using other things,which weren't working so well.Finally,I tried using my mouth.It took me nearly a year of practice to get used to holding the paddle with my mouth and making the serve.With practice and playing regularly,this skill was improved."
The Egyptian's incredible talent came to light in 2014 when he was awarded the best Arab Athlete of the year.He won a silver medal at the 2016 African Championships,qualified for his first Paralympics in 2016 at 43,and then again for the 2020 Tokyo Games at 48.
The inspiring athlete says,"The disability is not in arms or legs but to give up in whatever you would like to do."
What made Hamadtou take up table tennis? ______
A. His passion for table-tennis.
B. His ambition to prove himself.
C. His willingness to inspire others.
D. His suffering in a train accident.
What was the most difficult for Hamadtou to play table tennis? ______
A. Serving the ball with his mouth.
B. Holding the paddle under his arm.
C. Practicing strengthening his muscles.
D. Playing the game with the right body parts.
What can we learn about Hamadtou from the text? ______
A. He was recognized as a gifted player at 41.
B. He was awarded the best athlete in Africa.
C. He won a medal in the 2020 Tokyo Games.
D. He realized his dream of winning a gold medal.
What message does the story convey? ______

B. Love breaks down barriers.
C. Success gives people delight.
D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

Chinese cultural relic authorities on Thursday revealed some new discoveries from the puzzling Sanxingdui Ruins in Sichuan Province,including a gold mask,a huge bronze mask,bronze statues and ivory carvings.
A complete gold mask 37.2 centimeters wide,16.5 centimeters high and about 100 grams in weight was unearthed from No.3 Pit.The golden mask shares a similar size and the same facial features as one of the bronze heads unearthed before. "This golden mask might be a part of the face of the bronze head," Ran Hongling,head of the Sanxingdui Institute of Archaeology(考古),told the Global Times.Meanwhile,a large bronze mask,135 centimeters wide and 74 centimeters high,was dug up from the same pit,which is relatively well preserved and it is the largest bronze mask ever discovered at the site.
Among the newly unearthed bronze statues from No.4 Pit,one standing figure is being jokingly called the ancient "ancestor" of the popular Japanese superhero "Ultraman" due to the pointed crown(冠)on its head and his eyes that stick out.Another bronze statue has a special hairstyle that reminded people of the crown-shaped hat worn by Zhuge Liang,a Chinese statesman living during the Three Kingdoms period.And still another bronze statue has a unique pose.The figure is kneeling down with his head turned to the right and his hands are on the front left side of his body,but most interestingly,the figure is standing on the balls of both feet with his heels high in the air.The shapes and decorations of these bronze statues make them unique as valuable resources for the research of the ancient Kingdom of Shu,some 3,000 years ago.
Currently,the third and fourth pits have produced 729 and 1,073 relics,including three relics made from unknown materials.Meanwhile,200 ivory relics have been discovered in the eighth pit.
What do we know about the bronze mask? ______
A. It is the most complete relic ever discovered.
B. It has the largest size of its kind unearthed at the site.
C. It was dug from the No.4 Pit of the Sanxingdui Ruins.
D. It has the same facial features as a bronze bead previously found.
What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? ______
A. The significance of the bronze statues.
B. Similar images of the unearthed status.
C. The digging process of the bronze statues.
D. The characteristics of the thee bronze statues.
What makes one bronze statue look like "Ultraman"? ______
A. Its eyes and crown. B. Its hairstyle.
C. Its unique pose. D. Its crown-shaped hat.
What can be the best title for the text? ______
A. An ancient kingdom was newly discovered.
B. Mysterious Sanxingdui Ruins reveal more relics.
C. Sichuan Province is the birthplace of a new civilization.
D. New Sanxingdui pits catch the attention of archaeologists.

In British Bristol,70 English women at once entered into legal "marriage" with dozens of trees in protest against their being cut down.They "married" the trees in a desperate attempt to prevent them from being cleared for construction of residential buildings worth 55 million in the forest.The British construction company has applied for the construction of 166 houses in Bristol,including luxury cottages.At the same time,the townspeople were especially angry at the fact that the application did not indicate the exact number of trees that are planned to be cut down.So,in order to attract the attention of the government,the activists organized an unusual wedding ceremony to save the forest.
The event took place at a park on Spike Island.The women who went there,dressed in wedding dresses,held photographs of the " suitors" in their hands.The celebration itself took place according to the classic storyline - with groomsmen and wedding vows.The organizer was John Tarleton,a professor at the Bristol Veterinary School.According to him,this action was supposed to demonstrate that tees are partners of people throughout their life.
The idea to hold such a ceremony came from Siobhan Kierans,who admitted that she came up with it by the story of women from the environmental movement Chipko,who chained themselves to trees in the 1970s to save them from destruction by logging companies.
The protesters said that Bristol needs mature trees more than luxury private housing.One of the "brides",Suzan Hackett,said,"To get married to a tree is a real honor.It's not a show.It's highly significant and symbolic."
Why did the women marry trees? ______
A. To protect the trees from going extinct.
B. To appeal to people to plant more trees.
C. To blame the company for damaging trees.
D. To draw the authorities' attention to save the forest.
What does the underlined word "suitors" in Paragraph 2 refer to? ______
A. The men to marry.
B. The companies to build houses.
C. The trees to be saved.
D. The buildings to be pulled down.
What inspired Siobhan Kierans to create such an event? ______
A. Cruel behavior of logging companies.
B. A previous environmental campaign.
C. Movements of women fighting for rights.
D. Women chained to trees for their faults.
What does Suzan Hackett think of the event? ______
A. Meaningful. B. Interesting. C. Pioneering. D. Emotional.
After hours of working,many people find themselves in desperate need of a re-charge.Some people grab a coffee to stay awake. (1)
A recent study found that one in five working Americans nap(小憩)during the workday,with 87% of them reporting feeling refreshed afterward. "A power nap can provide the refreshment you need if you're struggling to stay alert or haven't had a good night's sleep," explains Rebecca Robbins,a sleep scientist at Brigham and Women's Hospital. (2) However,power naps are only beneficial when they are done correctly.
"You don't have to go to sleep fully," says James Maas,a professor at Cornell University,who is best known for his work in the field of sleep research. (3) He says,"20 minutes should be enough to power through the rest of the work day." However,Maas cautions that longer naps are counterproductive and even harmful.If you power nap any time longer than 40 minutes,you're going to wake up feeling very groggy(昏昏沉沉的).
Shelby Harris,a clinical psychologist adds that the best time to take your power nap is between 1 and 3 p.m. (4)
To make the most of your power nap,you'd better choose a comfortable place and time to nap.Also,put your alarm away from the bed. (5) One more thing,get some daylight exposure after your nap.It's best to get up,walk around and see some sunlight to fight any grogginess.
A.Naps are not for everyone.
B.It does boost workplace productivity.
C.This helps prevent power nappers tuning it off easily.
D.He coined the term "power nap" more than 50 years ago.
E.Napping any later in the day can affect your sleep at night.
F.Sleep experts say that power naps should be quick and refreshing.
G.However,it may be more beneficial to fight your sleepiness with sleep.

My Favorite Extra-curricular Activity_______________
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was eight o'clock on a May morning,and Micah,my 17-year-old daughter,was in our bonus room upstairs.It had been her temporary eleventh-grade classroom ever since schools had moved to remote learning due to the pandemic(疫情).
From the kitchen,I listened for the sound of her tapping on her laptop.I resisted the urge to check on her.Way too often,Micah was texting friends and commenting on their posts about the fun they were having together.We'd barely left the house for 10 weeks straight.
"Mom,everyone is hanging out today!" Micah's voice came from upstairs. "Why can't I?"
I went up the stairs.Micah was lying on the floor wearing pajamas(睡衣),her laptop,school iPad and cell phone in front of her. "It's not fair," she said.I have no one I can be with.I can't wait until I'm 18 and can do what I want."
We'd had this conversation before.Still,I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.I was sick of having to stay at home too.Even though Micah and I were home together more than we had been in years,we might as well have been living in separate worlds. "Wanna watch TV later?" I asked. "No,thanks." Micah shook her head.
"In a few weeks you'll be going to sports camp," I added "That's something you can look forward to." I closed the door.I was used to Micah's rejection,but it still hurt.Teenage independence is healthy,but I worried if I didn't find a way to bond with my girl soon,I might never be close with her again.She'd be 18 in the fall and had already convinced herself she didn't need me anymore.Maybe she was right.No matter what I did,I couldn't seem to reach her.
