Wordle: The Game that Quickly Became an Internet Hit
You might have heard of the word game Wordle. Maybe you have even tried the game yourself. The online puzzle has become so popular that some people cannot go a day without it. Many players share their game results on social media.
Wordle is a very simple game. That may be why its popularity spread so quickly and widely. Compared to many other computer games, the design is also very simple. It contains just 30 empty squares appearing under the name “WORDLE.”
Players get six chances to guess a five-letter word that has been chosen by the game for that day. The goal is to guess the word in the least number of tries.
To start, players enter a real word. Then, the letters turn different colors to provide the player clues about the word. A green letter means the letter is in the word and is in the right position. Yellow means the letter appears in the word but is in the wrong place. A gray letter means it does not appear in the word at all.
The game is web-based, not an app. So, users do not need to download it. It is also free to play. Users can play the game once per day.
Wordle was created by Josh Wardle, a New York software engineer. He said he first made it for his partner, who likes playing word games like crossword puzzles. But he decided in October to release it publicly. The game immediately took off.
As Wordle has grown, so has the number of experts offering advice for the best ways to play the game. One language expert, David Sidhu, recently gave his opinion on the best words to start a game with. He lists the most common letters from English words. The top letters he provides are a, r, o, i, and s. Sidhu also came up with a suggestion for the best starting word for Wordle. That word is “soare,” which means a young hawk. It is a British English word that was used commonly in the 1700s, the Collins English Dictionary reports.
( )1. When you turn on the game, which of the following pictures will appear on your screen
A. B.
C. D.
( )2. The game becomes so popular because ____________.
A. people can’t go a day without playing it
B. it is simply designed and very easy to play
C. players can share their results on social media
D. many people offer advice on how to play the game
( )3. If you want to play the game, you have to ____________.
A. know millions of words B. download it from the Internet first
C. start with a real word D. choose the right color for the letters
C
I began working in journalism(新闻工作) when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines, I went to Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible(可见的), making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.
“How many did you sell, my boy ” my mother asked.
“None.”
“Where did you go ”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do ”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“You just stood there ”
“Didn’t sell a single one.”
“My God, Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I made.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, talk to people with self-confidence, and persuade(劝说) them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s common workman’s life, made up her mind that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.
( )4. The boy started his job young because ____________.
A. he wanted to be famous in the future B. the job was quite easy for him
C. his mother had high hopes for him D. the competition for the job was serious
( )5. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was ____________.
A. excited B. interested C. doubtful D. dissatisfied
( )6. Which of the following can be the best title for the story
A. My Happy Childhood B. My Early Life of A Journalist
C. The First Nickle I Made D. My Early Success of A Journalist

For many Chinese people, potatoes are considered as a kind of vegetable. But in the future, this will no longer be the case. Potatoes will be added to China’s list of food products, like rice, wheat and corn. And potato starch（淀粉）will be mixed into bread, steamed buns（馒头）and noodles to suit Chinese people’s tastes and eating habits.
In fact, potato is more than just a main food of diet in America. In many ways, it’s an integral（不可或缺的）part of the American pop culture.
“Mashed Potato Dance” began in 1962. The name of the dance came from the song, Mashed Potato Time. American R&B singer Dee Dee Sharp sang this song. The move（舞步）is something like the Twist dance style.
“Hot Potato!” is an action puzzle video game released（发行）in 2001. In the game the player must drive a bus and clear the road of alien potato beings at the same time. The potato beings are either red or blue. When two like-coloured potatoes touch each other, they disappear. Over the years, this game has been welcomed by many players, especially children.
“Mr Potato Head” is an American toy invented by George Lerner in 1949. The toy is made up of a plastic potato model and plastic parts like hands, feet, ears and a mouth. In 1952, this toy became the first toy advertised on television.

九、My dear friends,
Reading is very important. We can get knowledge through reading. It can not only open our minds but also make us clever and happy. Our study can be improved if we read more and good books.
However, some students spend much time in listening to music, watching TV or going online to play computer games. It takes much of their spare time.
So I would like to suggest that everyone should read more books, especially read some classical books so that we can spread our Chinese traditional culture to the world.
Let’s start reading now. And let it become a part of our life!

Potatoes will be added to China’s list of food products, like rice, wheat and corn. And potato starch（淀粉）will be mixed into bread, steamed buns（馒头）and noodles to suit Chinese people’s tastes and eating habits.
In fact, potato is more than just a main food of diet in America. In many ways, it’s an integral（不可或缺的）part of the American pop culture.

九、My dear friends,
Reading is very important. We can get knowledge through reading. It can not only open our minds but also make us clever and happy. Our study can be improved if we read more and good books.
However, some students spend much time in listening to music, watching TV or going online to play computer games. It takes much of their spare time.
So I would like to suggest that everyone should read more books, especially read some classical books so that we can spread our Chinese traditional culture to the world.
Let’s start reading now. And let it become a part of our life!
