Finally, after nearly half a month, the Christmas letter was here in my hand. Yes, writing letters is how my friend in the U.S. and I 31 our greetings every Christmas. People ask why not 32 our greetings on Facebook, or on WeChat, and by the way, it’ll save money. For me, writing letters is more of a 33 habit. I, an experienced letter writer, can tell you that writing letters brings me more emotional (情感的) 34 .
It’s said that electronic devices, like smartphones, can greatly change people in many ways. Such devices prevent people from 35 their inner (内心的) feelings fully. A letter is like a big dinner. It includes a lot of information. 36 we write, our brain (大脑) is given the chance to find connections (连接) between things we didn’t see before. Letters build a bridge between the writer and the 37 . People experience more when they receive messages in the form of a letter, rather than of any other media.
Also, if I am here to tell you 38 I love writing letters, one of the reasons would be its 39 of touch--- feeling of my hand running through the pages, and feeling of the 40 of ink (墨水) in the air. That’s fantastic!

A. direction B. sense C. click D. point
A. colour B. taste C. smell D. style

The children ran deeper into the tunnel. Before long, they found a boy. He was lying on the ground.
“What happened ” Roberta asked him.
“I’m Jim. I was walking through the tunnel when I tripped（绊倒）. I think I’ve broken my leg.”“ The 11:15 train is due（到期）soon,” Peter said. “We must get you out of here.”
“I’ve been here for two hours,” the boy said. “I was on my way to the station to catch the train. It’s quicker through the tunnel than along the road.”
“It’s also more dangerous,” Roberta said.
Peter said. “We’ve got to get you out.” Then Peter and Phyllis helped Jim up. It was a difficult journey, but the children got there before the 11:15 train did. Finally, a signalman helped them and took Jim to Peter’s home.

Two weeks later, Father came back home.

Agriculture (农业) has a long history in China. Much of the wisdom (智慧) discovered by early Chinese scientists is still useful for farmers and gardeners today. One of China’s early agricultural (农业的) scientists was Jia Sixie, who lived in the sixth century A.D. He spent his time doing research into agriculture. He collected information, studied it, did experiments (实验) and learnt from the experience of farmers.
Around 540 AD, he wrote a book called Qimin Yaoshu. The book is about both farming and gardening. It includes advice on the following subjects: growing green vegetables and fruit trees, keeping animals, and fish in lakes. There are also instructions for making wine. Jia Sixie’s book is a helpful guide for farming. Firstly, as a farmer you should do things at the right time of the year. If you sow seeds and grow young plants in the fields at the correct time of the year, your work will be less and the results will be better. But if you go against nature, and do things at the wrong time of the year, you will have to do more work and the results will not be so good. The condition of the soil is also very important. Examine the soil on your farm carefully. If the condition of your soil is not good, you should improve it. Before sowing or planting crops, you must clean ground and remove weeds (清除杂草). Let sheep or cows walk on the land to destroy (破坏) the weeds or eat them. The best harvest is reached when farmers change the crops in their fields. For example, do not plant rice year after year in the same field. But if you plant rice in a field one year and wheat in the field the next year, you will harvest good crops. Other scientists said that wheat should be planted with space between the plants, but Jia did experiments and showed that planting wheat close together is better.

Tea, coffee and cocoa are three major drinks all over the world. Tea is drunk by the largest number of people in the world. Tea, as well as silk and porcelain(瓷器), began to be known by the world over a thousand years ago and has been an important Chinese export since then.
Tea has a history of over 4,000 years and China is the home of tea. In ancient China, tea was used as a kind of medicine, while nowadays people drink tea daily.
Longjing, Pu’er, Wulong and Tieguanyin are all famous tea. Thanks to the climate（气候） and soil in Fujian, Zhejiang and Yunnan, tea is produced mainly in these provinces.
The word for tea in different languages came from Chinese, like ‘cha’i’ in Russian. And the Japanese character for tea is written exactly the same as it is in Chinese.
Now, tea culture is a part of Chinese culture, which includes tea planting, tea leaf picking, tea making, tea drinking and so on. Tea is also popular in some sayings, like “A friendship between gentlemen is like a cup of tea.” In dances, songs, poems and novels, tea is often mentioned, too.
