Today we were looking after our two nieces. They started screaming in the room where they were playing while my husband and I cooked lunch. We quickly ran to see what happened and there was a small scorpion(蝎子) that somehow got into the house.
My husband picked up the scorpion before it had a chance to get away. As he was catching the scorpion, the elder niece Alice said that it was good that he was there because "girls can't deal with that thing".
My husband asked her who told her that. Alice just shrugged(耸肩) and said, "Everyone knows girls are afraid of bugs(虫子).'' So my husband called her over and told her, "You never have to be afraid of anything only because you're a girl. You're just as good as boys. When you saw this scorpion, you called me and your aunt here. You recognized there was something that could hurt you. So you got help. I'm proud of you for letting adults know about something that was a danger to you. You're very smart.''
He held the scorpion's tail, adding, "As you grow up, people are always going to try to tell you what you can and can't do, but you can do anything if you put your effort into it. There're women that work with bugs for their jobs and study them." She got so excited at the thought of a woman being able to do things a man can do.
At this point her little sister Lisa came towards them. So my husband sat there and explained the different parts of the scorpion, completely firing their imagination. Alice asked if she could hold it. Then my husband put it on her hands. She was so proud of herself that she talked about it until she went to sleep.

There are some strange and wonderful rules in law books around the world. When you are traveling, it’s always best to know before you go. Not only could this keep you out of trouble, but it can also help you get the most out of your holiday.
1. In Victoria, Australia, it’s illegal to change a light bulb unless you are a licensed electrician. People who disobey this law could receive a fine of up to AU$10 ( 5.50).
2. In Milan, Italy, citizens are required to smile at all times, except during funerals or hospital visits.
3. In England, it is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament. This was voted the most ridiculous law in the UK in 2007. A spokesman for the House of Commons said: "The people who know about these things here say there is no basis for such a law, not to say it does not exist somewhere in writing."
4. In Canada, by law, one out of every five songs on the radio must be sung by a Canadian.
5. Flushing(冲洗) the toilet after 10pm is illegal in Switzerland. The Government consider it noise pollution.
6. Running out of petrol is illegal on Germany's highway, and so is walking along it. So those who do break down must pull over and use their horn to attract attention. The fine is ?80 ( 65) for endangering other drivers.
7.In Chicago, it is against the law to eat in a place that's on fire. No matter how good the pizza tastes, if the restaurant sets on fire—you can't stick around!
1.According to the text, which of the following is legal
A.A doctor changing his bulb at his home in Victoria.
B.A driver blows his horn when his car breaks down on a Germany's highway.
C.A spokesman dies in the Houses of Parliament in England.

Returning to a book you've read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There's a welcome familiarity—but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don't change, people do. And that's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It's true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it's all about the present. It's about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it's his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating(令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm, her poetic1975 ramble(随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortázar's Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortázar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it's you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
1.Why does the author like rereading
A.It evaluates the writer-reader relationship. B.It's a window to a whole new world.
C.It's a substitute for drinking with a friend. D.It extends the understanding of oneself.
2.What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast
A.It's a brief account of a trip. B.It's about Hemingway's life as a young man.
C.It's a record of a historic event. D.It's about Hemingway's friends in Paris.
3.What does the underlined word "currency" in Paragraph 4 refer to
A.Debt. B.Reward. C.Allowance. D.Face value.
4.What can we infer about the author from the text
A.He loves poetry. B.He's an editor.
C.He's very ambitious. D.He teaches reading.

After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, "What is this "
At this time some expression of irritation(恼怒) was felt in the son's tone when he said to his father with a rebuff(生硬回绝). "It's a crow, a crow." A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, "What is this "
This time, the son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this "
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old towered(发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated but I rather felt affection for my innocent son.

第一节
答案：
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to report the loss of my wallet on 1st January, 2019 when I was on your flight FL753 from China to London.
I clearly remember it was still with me the moment I boarded the plane, but it was gone just after the arrival. I guess it must have slipped out of my pocket during the flight. It is a black leather one with my ID card, 2 credit cards and around 200 dollars in it. As you can imagine, these matter a lot to me.
I would really appreciate it if you can provide some help and contact me by emailing me at lihua@. Thank you for your support.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节

Paragraph 1:
After reading the diary, the son's eyes were filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just four times! The son thought to himself: If I attain old age, how will my son look at me Will he think of me as a burden Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding
Paragraph 2:
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said this aloud, "I promise to make you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me ever since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you in the best way no matter how you behave."

Today we were looking after our two nieces. They started screaming in the room where they were playing while my husband and I cooked lunch. We quickly ran to see what happened and there was a small scorpion(蝎子) that somehow got into the house.
My husband picked up the scorpion before it had a chance to get away. As he was catching the scorpion, the elder niece Alice said that it was good that he was there because "girls can't deal with that thing".
My husband asked her who told her that. Alice just shrugged(耸肩) and said, "Everyone knows girls are afraid of bugs(虫子).'' So my husband called her over and told her, "You never have to be afraid of anything only because you're a girl. You're just as good as boys. When you saw this scorpion, you called me and your aunt here. You recognized there was something that could hurt you. So you got help. I'm proud of you for letting adults know about something that was a danger to you. You're very smart.''
He held the scorpion's tail, adding, "As you grow up, people are always going to try to tell you what you can and can't do, but you can do anything if you put your effort into it. There're women that work with bugs for their jobs and study them." She got so excited at the thought of a woman being able to do things a man can do.
At this point her little sister Lisa came towards them. So my husband sat there and explained the different parts of the scorpion, completely firing their imagination.

There are some strange and wonderful rules in law books around the world. When you are traveling, it’s always best to know before you go. Not only could this keep you out of trouble, but it can also help you get the most out of your holiday.

Returning to a book you've read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There's a welcome familiarity—but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don't change, people do. And that's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It's true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it's all about the present. It's about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it's his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating(令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm, her poetic1975 ramble(随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortázar's Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortázar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it's you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
1.Why does the author like rereading
A.It evaluates the writer-reader relationship. B.It's a window to a whole new world.
C.It's a substitute for drinking with a friend. D.It extends the understanding of oneself.
2.What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast
A.It's a brief account of a trip. B.It's about Hemingway's life as a young man.
C.It's a record of a historic event. D.It's about Hemingway's friends in Paris.
3.What does the underlined word "currency" in Paragraph 4 refer to
A.Debt. B.Reward. C.Allowance. D.Face value.
4.What can we infer about the author from the text
A.He loves poetry. B.He's an editor.
C.He's very ambitious. D.He teaches reading.

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow(乌鸦) perched(栖息) on their window.

After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, "What is this "
At this time some expression of irritation(恼怒) was felt in the son's tone when he said to his father with a rebuff(生硬回绝). "It's a crow, a crow." A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, "What is this "
This time, the son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this "
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old towered(发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated but I rather felt affection for my innocent son.

第一节
答案：
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to report the loss of my wallet on 1st January, 2019 when I was on your flight FL753 from China to London.
I clearly remember it was still with me the moment I boarded the plane, but it was gone just after the arrival. I guess it must have slipped out of my pocket during the flight. It is a black leather one with my ID card, 2 credit cards and around 200 dollars in it. As you can imagine, these matter a lot to me.
I would really appreciate it if you can provide some help and contact me by emailing me at lihua@. Thank you for your support.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
After reading the diary, the son's eyes were filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just four times! The son thought to himself: If I attain old age, how will my son look at me Will he think of me as a burden Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding
Paragraph 2:
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said this aloud, "I promise to make you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me ever since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you in the best way no matter how you behave."
