A few days ago,I received a letter from my Aunt Cathy.It was a“thank-you"letter written by hand because I sent her some cookies.Aunt Cathy is ninety-one years-old with good manners.That is why she sent me the letter.She also has wonderful hand writing.Each letter and word is perfect.It is a pleasure to read her letter.Aunt Cathy received education many years ago.At that time,handwriting was considered an important skill.Now,it is the age of e-mail and social media.Few people have the time or need to practice their handwriting or write letters by hand.
This is unfortunate.In my opinion,good hand writing is still important.This is especially true in school if you want to get good grades on your writing,neatness will be important,your writing maybe full of good ideas.However,bad handwriting can turn an A into a B or even a D!
Good handwriting has other benefits,too.Since it is a skill,it trains your brain and develops your learning abilities.It also helps you organize your thoughts.Believe it or not,slow process of pushing a pen along paper improves your reading,spelling and even your pronunciation of English.
In addition to all these educational benefits,good handwriting also has personal benefits.A well-written letter to a friend is something he or she will keep forever.A letter that looks like a chicken dances across the paper will be quickly thrown away.I have kept the letter from my Aunt Cathy.It's a great treasure!

Some influential figures have left their marks in the world of science and technology. Sundar Pichai is the current CEO of Google. At present, Google is the most popular search engine and is a word that has entered the dictionary in its verb form, ‘Googling '. He was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth and the family suffered from poverty. But his story never fails to remind all that with determination and hard work, one can beat the odds.
Although Steve Jobs passed on years ago, he was, and still is, the perfect role model for many entrepreneurs. He was fired from the company of Apple, and then he went on to start up two other successful companies. Later, he returned to Apple where he created the iPhone, a product that many consider to be the most significant invention of this century. Elon Musk is the founder of SpaceX and Tesla. He used to be a major shareholder and CEO in PayPal, but was forced to leave from his role as CEO due to disagreements with the company leaders. Currently, he has set his sights on ways to reduce global warming, including keeping a lookout for new sources of renewable energy, and has an exciting ambition to establish a human colony in Mars.
Mark Zuckerberg is the founder of Facebook. Many are aware of his enormous success in building the $350-billion company but not many know that he had to journey through a rocky path to get to where he is today. He dropped out of college and had to tide over uncertain times before reaching success.

At 9: 30 a.m. on a Wednesday morning, I received a notification (通知) that I'd already picked up my phone 30 times that day! “11 left until you go over your goal of 41 pickups,” my screen read. “Put your phone down until 9: 52 a. m. ! Enjoy your time living in the moment.”
These updates were sent via Moment, an app that tracks my screen time, created by Kevin Holesh in 2014 to fight his own device addiction. He was working as an independent app developer, spending hours each day staring at screens. After work, Holesh found that he was looking mindlessly online instead of talking to his wife or taking his dogs for a walk.
“I wanted a way of seeing how much time I was sinking into my phone,” he said. “So I came up with something that could monitor my screen time.” Holesh found that he was spending 75 minutes on his phone a day. He added a function to the app that informed him whenever his screen time was more than 40 minutes. “My phone would make a sound like a bee, and I'd go and do something else. It was like a little angel on my shoulder pushing me in the right direction,” he said. Holesh figured that if the system worked for him, it would work for others, and later that year he made Moment a free app. To date, it has been downloaded 8 million times.
Besides, Moment also has a “coach” function, offering guided programs to help users focus and be more productive, for $7.99 a month.
“I am so much happier, I sleep better, I read more, I take better care of myself, and most of all I am present in my day to day life,” Jack, a user said. Similar comments on Moment reflect a growing consciousness around “digital wellness”, the name given to lifestyle practices that encourage healthy device use.
15.What does the inspiration of Moment come from
A. The creator's own experience.
B. The sound made by honey bees.
C. Complaints from family members.
D. The widespread digital addiction.
16.What does Moment do at the expected screen time
A. Monitor the screen and keep a record.
B. Make a noise to remind the user.
C. Turn off the phone immediately.
D. Force the user to take a rest.
17.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4
A. Persuade readers to buy the app.
B. Provide readers with some advice.
C. Recommend a coach to the readers.
D. Introduce more information of the app.
18.In which part of a website will you find this text

In early February 2019, 51 year old Rainer Schimpf and his team set out to film South Africa's Sardine Run off the coast of Point Elizabeth Sardine Run, the annual migration(迁徙)of billions of sardines (a small sea fish), is a big draw for large predators, especially the dolphin and whale. Predators are animals that kill and eat other animals. In an attempt to obtain the best images of the incredible natural phenomenon, Rainer dived into the middle of a spinning ball of fish. Suddenly the sea moved around violently, and the experienced diver and his photographer Heinz Toperczer, who was filming from the boat, instantly realized something strange was going on. Suddenly dolphins shot out of the water, a white spray came out and then a whale appeared and grasped Rainer.
While Toperczer was filming the terrifying turn of events with his video camera, Rainer, who was trapped had first and engulfed(吞噬)in darkness inside the whales mouth, was trying to survive. Nothing can actually prepare you for the event when you end up inside the pure instinct(本能), the diver told Barcroft TV. “Knowing in the whale's mouth, I tried to control my fear. But I was convinced that it was going to dive down and release me much deeper in the ocean.”
The whale quickly realized he was no sardine! “As the whale turned sideways, he opened his mouth slightly to release me, and I was washed out, together with what felt like tons of water, of his mouth,” recalled Rainer. Though the entire incident lasted just 1.8 seconds, it felt like a year to Rainer.
Still holding his underwater camera in his hand, the diver swam to his boat, where he was quickly rescued by the members of the team. The terrible adventure did not disturb Rainer for too long. After checking to ensure he had no injuries, the diver returned to the water to seek out more.

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money. When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want ” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon ” said the salesman.
“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost ” “We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need ”
“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”
“How much do you have ” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.
“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for your little brother.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again.

An 80-year-old man and his family may soon get a bill for the cost of his rescue mission. After an all-night search by rescuers, James Clark of Dublin, Ohio, was found “not moving and exhibiting what appeared to be signs and symptoms on low body temperature to the point of not being able to speak any clear words,” according to a statement.
Similarly, in 2015, a family of four received an about 8,500 bill after their daytime hike left them lost in the dark and requiring search and rescue(SAR). This raises an interesting question: Who pays for the cost when you get lost or injured in the great outdoors
The high cost of SAR missions is what prompted states like New Hampshire to pass laws that establish programs like Hike Safe to hold individuals more financially accountable for their rescues. However, some people have called for more strict laws to shift SAR costs off taxpayers. They say such a move would ultimately make people take more responsibility, but it's a controversial idea. "Society rescues people all the time-auto accident victims, home fire victims-and at far greater cost than wilderness hiker rescues." writes Backpacker.
Critics say putting a price tag on SAR could cause people to hesitate before calling for help in emergency situations. But Heggie says this isn't actually the reason why the National Park Service doesn't charge for SAR. "If an agency such as NPS starts charging the public for SAR costs, the agency essentially has to conduct SAR operations. If something goes wrong during the SAR operation, someone could lead to a lawsuit(起诉).”
Both Heggie and Kupper say the best way people can avoid needing rescue is simply by being prepared, suggesting that people research hikes before they go, pay attention to their surroundings, pack essential gear and not rely on a cellphone as a survival kit. "The best time to prevent SAR incidents is when people are still at home," Heggie said.
27. What happened to James when he was rescued
A. He lost his way home. B. He didn't dare to move alone.
C. He couldn't express himself. D. He was seriously injured.
28. What benefit does a price tag on SAR have
A. To pay back the rescuers. B. To make hikers more responsible.
C. To reduce outdoor activities. D. To discourage hikers calling for help.
29. What is the reason for NPS to avoid charging for SAR
A. The possibility of being charged. B. The heavy burden of medical costs.
C The difficulty in doing a SAR operation. D. The fear of doing fewer SAR operations.
30. What is the most effective way to avoid a rescue need according to Heggie
A. Packing necessary things. B. Carrying a survival kit.
C. Taking a cellphone everywhere. D. Preparing well in advance.
