A six-year-old longing to keep a unicorn in her backyard figured she’d get the hard part out of the way first.
Last November, Madeline wrote a letter to the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control with a straightforward request. “Dear LA County, I would like your approval if I can have a unicorn in my backyard if I can find one. Please send me a letter in response.”
Director Mayeda replied two weeks later. The department does in fact license unicorns, she said, under certain conditions. Those include polishing the unicorn’s horn at least once a month with a soft cloth, feeding it watermelon at least once a week, covering it with only nontoxic and biodegradable sparkles and giving it regular access to sunlight, moonbeams, and rainbows. And, because unicorns are indeed very rare to find, the department is also giving Madeline a toy unicorn to keep her company during her search, as a token of appreciation.
“It is always rewarding to hear from young people who thoughtfully consider the requirements of providing a loving home for animals,” Mayeda wrote in the letter. “I like your sense of responsible pet ownership to seek permission in advance to keep a unicorn in Los Angeles County.”
Mayeda told the Washington Post that this is the first time the department has received a request for a license for a unicorn or any mythical creature. They were impressed with the first grader for wanting to ask permission in the first place, and doing her research to work out how to go about that. She and her colleagues deal with a lot of “life-and-death” issues on the job, whether that’s seeing cases of animal abuse or animals hurting people or making decisions about having to put down dangerous or sick animals. So Madeline’s letter has considerably brightened their spirits, and she is due to visit the department this week to discuss her unicorn license application. Safe to say, she’s in for a magical surprise.
24. Why did Madeline write the letter
A. To apply to visit a unicorn. B. To learn to provide animal care.
C. To ask permission to keep a pet. D. To figure out how to find a unicorn.
25. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. Madeline’s application was disapproved.
B. Assistance was given for Madeline’s search.
C. Madeline was presented with a live unicorn.
D. Requirements should be met for the license.
26. Which of the following best describes Mayeda
A. Strict and serious. B. Loving and thoughtful.
C. Sensitive and emotional. D. Realistic and determined.
27. Why has the letter cheered up Mayeda and her colleagues
A. It is the first application letter for a pet.
B. Madeline puts great effort into her dream.
C. Animal protection is a life-and-death issue.
D. The department often deals with tough issues.
C
Against the supposition that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.
This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest fires to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to give rise to cooling.
This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fires in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.
Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone(臭氧) levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.
“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a consequence of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.
28. According to the new findings, the prevention of northern forest fires may _______.
A. lead to a longer fire season B. result in a warming climate
C. conserve the environment there D. cause frequent forest fires
29. Earlier studies about northern forest fires _______.
A. suggest that the fires will quicken climate warming
B. indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphere
C. analyze over-all aspects of how northern fires influence climate
D. reveal that measures should be taken to protect the environment
30. The underlined phrase “soaked up” in the last paragraph most probably means _______.
A. released B. absorbed C. reflected D. distributed
31. From the passage we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may _______.
A. warm the climate as the supposition goes
B. help to gain more energy rather than release more energy
C. destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea ice
D. reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climate
D
From the flower crown to the one that makes you look like an adorable baby deer, Snapchat’s filters (滤镜) are famously pleasing. But if you have ever shifted your phone and seen the filter disappear, revealing your normal human face on the screen instead, you may have thought to yourself, “I wish I looked like a Snapchat filter in real life.”
This is a real and increasingly common way of thinking, according to the plastic surgeons who authored a recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). For some people, the authors say, this obsession with looking as perfect as they do in their filtered social media photos has become so extreme that experts place it on the body dysmorphia disorder spectrum.
Body dysmorphia disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition and a type of obsessive compulsive disorder in which a person becomes obsessed with thoughts about appearance imperfection. “For someone with BDD, their entire life’s balance hangs on whether they look okay or whether they have hidden their appearance imperfection appropriately,” Tom Hildebrandt, PsyD, chief of the Division of Eating and Weight Disorders, explained in a previous interview.
The JAMA article names this latest version of the disorder “Snapchat dysmorphia disorder,” saying that apps like Snapchat and Face Tune are giving rise to new unattainable standards of beauty.
In the past, the authors write, patients would show up in their plastic surgeon’s office with photos of celebrities that had been edited to perfection in magazine spreads. Now, they say, patients want to look like filtered versions of themselves instead, with fuller lips, bigger eyes, or a thinner nose. According to recent data, 55% of surgeons report that patients are looking for plastic surgery to improve the appearance the way they look in social media selfies.
“This is an alarming trend,” the authors write, “because those filtered selfies often present an unattainable look and are blurring the boundary between reality and fantasy for these patients.”
32. What can we infer from the passage
A. Some plastic surgeons prefer photos of celebrities to selfies of their patients.
B. Snapchat’s filters are pleasing because they offer users flower crowns and baby deer.
C. Some plastic surgeons disapprove of having plastic surgery to look like filtered selfies.
D. People with BDD will lose their balance if they can’t cover their imperfection properly.
33. The authors of the JAMA article hold the view that ________.
A. Social media selfies bring about a new type of fashion trend
B. users of Snapchat are too obsessed with their own appearance
C. users of Snapchat are all people with body dysmorphia disorder
D. Filters contributes to new standards of beauty impossible to achieve
34. What does the underlined word “This” refer to
A. Plastic surgery patients request to look like filtered versions of themselves.
B. Patients show up in their plastic surgeon’s office with photos of celebrities.
C. Quite a few surgeons report that patients are looking for plastic surgery.
D. Patients fail to tell reality from fantasy due to pleasing filtered selfies.
35. The passage mainly talks about the fact that ________.
A. some apps with filters have created brand new standards of beauty
B. some people are unwilling to accept their appearance imperfection
C. some plastic surgeons have authored an article against filtered selfies
D. some people are over-obsessed with looking as perfect as filtered selfies

As schools around the country reopen after winter break, their students are being reminded of the lunch debt they’ve racked up this school year.
Congress ended the free-lunch-for-all program in June, reverting to a system in which low-income families had to fill out paperwork to qualify for aid based on their income. But some families have been left behind because they do not understand the application process. 36 For some kids, the debt can get so big that schools stop giving them a full meal. 37 According to the national campaign No Kid Hungry, students who eat school breakfast have been shown to achieve 17.5% higher scores on standardized math tests.
38 The nonprofit Tusk Philanthropies’ Solving Hunger is funding four organizations focused on promoting policy change on free school meals. In another, Sarah Stusek recorded herself calling Mount Vernon Community School in a viral TikTok video to pay off the Virginia school’s nearly $1,700 lunch debt.
Some states choose to continue free-lunch-for-all programs, including Massachusetts, Nevada, Vermont and Pennsylvania. California, Maine and now Colorado are the only states with laws ensuring permanent universal meal programs for all children, regardless of parents’ income. 39
Results from a national survey shows 847 schools had amassed $19.2 million in lunch debt. Debt varies across the country. Across North Carolina, lunch debt exceeded $1 million as of Nov. 1. 40 . And in Georgia, a nonprofit called All For Lunch paid $130,000 to wipe the debt of several schools across several metro area counties in December.
A. Plenty of kids face going without school lunches or getting smaller.
B. Others are rejected because they do not qualify.
C. School meal prices are rising and families are struggling to pay rent and feed their children.
D. Universal school meals can promote academic achievement.
E. One Wisconsin school district surpassed $14,000 in school lunch debt by October.
F. Several community groups and even social media influencers are donating to help.
G. A few districts, including Chicago and New York City, also offer free meals to kids.

8-year-old Evan was standing by the sidewalk when he noticed Mrs. Carter opening her shop again.
Several days ago, when Evan was passing by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”.
85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day.
Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan Do you want flowers ” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me ”
“A job ” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him.
Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me ” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded.
Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better.
A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan I’d be delighted to have you here.”

Dear Tom,
On hearing about your upcoming visit to Chengdu, I felt ever so excited and delighted! I’d like to extend a warm welcome to you!
With the rich culture, long history and mouthwatering food, Chengdu is definitely a top tourist destination tourists can’t miss. Since there’re so many things to explore, I’d like to recommend the Giant Panda Breeding Base to you which is a must-see in Chengdu.

There, you can have a close encounter with them and have a better understanding of their living habits which is undoubtedly hard to resist. Furthermore, as a host of Chengdu, I feel like inviting you to watch the tennis match with me at the Chengdu Summer Universiade. I know you are a big fan of tennis. At the event, we can meet lots of talented tennis players and watch the competitive and enjoyable match. It must be a feast for eyes!
I’m so longing for your visit to Chengdu. I promise I’ll be your hospitable host and great guide here. Just can’t wait to show you around in Chengdu!

W: We’re planning a trip for right after we graduate, and I’m asking everybody where they would like to go most. Any thoughts
M: I’ve always wanted to go somewhere hot like Hawaii. I’d love to just lie on the beach, have a drink... just relax, although I suppose that staying in one place might get boring after a while. How about a trip through Europe
W: You’re not the first person to say that. To be honest, I kind of agree with you. If we were to go to the Bahamas, say, I wouldn’t complain. But Europe sounds more attractive.
M: Well, as it happens, I spoke with a bunch of our friends last night. All of them began by saying the same thing we did about beaches and stuff. In the end, everyone agreed that they’d rather have a more diverse experience.
W: Well, I think we have our destination. Now we just need to get our plane tickets.
M: Hold your horses. We need to calculate the cost first.

M: So, are you enjoying the performance so far
W: Well, you must admit the clothes are beautiful and the set is wonderful, but the acting is a bit boring. What do you think
M: I think you’re a bit particular. The actor in the lead role is very professional. I suppose the music could be a bit better, though.
W: Do you know anyone in the play
M: Actually, the woman playing Ophelia is an old classmate of mine.
W: Really Is that why you wanted to come to the play
M: That’s only a part of it. I absolutely admire this director. Every play he works on turns out great. I’ve seen quite a few other plays that he directed. They are really wonderful. By the way, after the play, there is a big party for the actors and their friends. My friend has invited us. Do you want to go
W: Sure. Oh, look! They are weakening the lights. I think we should go back to our seats for the second half of the play.
M: You are right.
Text 9
W: Do you think I should go to college, Mike
M: Of course, Brenda! Why not
W: Well, my friend Landon started his own computer software business right out of high school. He didn’t go to college, and he made a million dollars!
M: OK, congratulations to him. But that success story is not common. People should receive as much education as they could.
W: But college is so expensive nowadays. When my brother Jason went to school, his fees were maybe twenty thousand dollars a year. His same school is charging twice that amount now!
M: That’s nothing! New York University costs much more!
W: See! That’s what I mean! Is it really worth the money
M: Listen, I agree that education is too expensive, but college life is such a beautiful part of one’s life. Besides, students can borrow money from the bank.
W: But if everyone suddenly can’t pay back the money, then we’re all influenced!

W: Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed with the logo “Nice Ride” — the name of the city’s bike-share program.
Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike, you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of 1,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota’s (明尼苏达州) largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business, or just to enjoy the city’s many bike paths.
The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Increasing gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to travel by bike.
Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne, Australia. The largest program with 70,000 bikes is in Wuhan, China.
To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the US Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes called greenways.

A six-year-old longing to keep a unicorn in her backyard figured she’d get the hard part out of the way first.
Last November, Madeline wrote a letter to the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control with a straightforward request. “Dear LA County, I would like your approval if I can have a unicorn in my backyard if I can find one. Please send me a letter in response.”
Director Mayeda replied two weeks later. The department does in fact license unicorns, she said, under certain conditions. Those include polishing the unicorn’s horn at least once a month with a soft cloth, feeding it watermelon at least once a week, covering it with only nontoxic and biodegradable sparkles and giving it regular access to sunlight, moonbeams, and rainbows. And, because unicorns are indeed very rare to find, the department is also giving Madeline a toy unicorn to keep her company during her search, as a token of appreciation.
“It is always rewarding to hear from young people who thoughtfully consider the requirements of providing a loving home for animals,” Mayeda wrote in the letter. “I like your sense of responsible pet ownership to seek permission in advance to keep a unicorn in Los Angeles County.”
Mayeda told the Washington Post that this is the first time the department has received a request for a license for a unicorn or any mythical creature. They were impressed with the first grader for wanting to ask permission in the first place, and doing her research to work out how to go about that. She and her colleagues deal with a lot of “life-and-death” issues on the job, whether that’s seeing cases of animal abuse or animals hurting people or making decisions about having to put down dangerous or sick animals. So Madeline’s letter has considerably brightened their spirits, and she is due to visit the department this week to discuss her unicorn license application. Safe to say, she’s in for a magical surprise.
24. Why did Madeline write the letter
A. To apply to visit a unicorn. B. To learn to provide animal care.
C. To ask permission to keep a pet. D. To figure out how to find a unicorn.
25. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. Madeline’s application was disapproved.
B. Assistance was given for Madeline’s search.
C. Madeline was presented with a live unicorn.
D. Requirements should be met for the license.
26. Which of the following best describes Mayeda
A. Strict and serious. B. Loving and thoughtful.
C. Sensitive and emotional. D. Realistic and determined.
27. Why has the letter cheered up Mayeda and her colleagues
A. It is the first application letter for a pet.
B. Madeline puts great effort into her dream.
C. Animal protection is a life-and-death issue.
D. The department often deals with tough issues.
C
Against the supposition that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.
This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest fires to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to give rise to cooling.
This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fires in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.
Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone(臭氧) levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.
“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a consequence of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.
28. According to the new findings, the prevention of northern forest fires may _______.
A. lead to a longer fire season B. result in a warming climate
C. conserve the environment there D. cause frequent forest fires
29. Earlier studies about northern forest fires _______.
A. suggest that the fires will quicken climate warming
B. indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphere
C. analyze over-all aspects of how northern fires influence climate
D. reveal that measures should be taken to protect the environment
30. The underlined phrase “soaked up” in the last paragraph most probably means _______.
A. released B. absorbed C. reflected D. distributed
31. From the passage we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may _______.
A. warm the climate as the supposition goes
B. help to gain more energy rather than release more energy
C. destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea ice
D. reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climate
D
From the flower crown to the one that makes you look like an adorable baby deer, Snapchat’s filters (滤镜) are famously pleasing. But if you have ever shifted your phone and seen the filter disappear, revealing your normal human face on the screen instead, you may have thought to yourself, “I wish I looked like a Snapchat filter in real life.”
This is a real and increasingly common way of thinking, according to the plastic surgeons who authored a recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). For some people, the authors say, this obsession with looking as perfect as they do in their filtered social media photos has become so extreme that experts place it on the body dysmorphia disorder spectrum.
Body dysmorphia disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition and a type of obsessive compulsive disorder in which a person becomes obsessed with thoughts about appearance imperfection. “For someone with BDD, their entire life’s balance hangs on whether they look okay or whether they have hidden their appearance imperfection appropriately,” Tom Hildebrandt, PsyD, chief of the Division of Eating and Weight Disorders, explained in a previous interview.
The JAMA article names this latest version of the disorder “Snapchat dysmorphia disorder,” saying that apps like Snapchat and Face Tune are giving rise to new unattainable standards of beauty.
In the past, the authors write, patients would show up in their plastic surgeon’s office with photos of celebrities that had been edited to perfection in magazine spreads. Now, they say, patients want to look like filtered versions of themselves instead, with fuller lips, bigger eyes, or a thinner nose. According to recent data, 55% of surgeons report that patients are looking for plastic surgery to improve the appearance the way they look in social media selfies.
“This is an alarming trend,” the authors write, “because those filtered selfies often present an unattainable look and are blurring the boundary between reality and fantasy for these patients.”
32. What can we infer from the passage
A. Some plastic surgeons prefer photos of celebrities to selfies of their patients.
B. Snapchat’s filters are pleasing because they offer users flower crowns and baby deer.
C. Some plastic surgeons disapprove of having plastic surgery to look like filtered selfies.
D. People with BDD will lose their balance if they can’t cover their imperfection properly.
33. The authors of the JAMA article hold the view that ________.
A. Social media selfies bring about a new type of fashion trend
B. users of Snapchat are too obsessed with their own appearance
C. users of Snapchat are all people with body dysmorphia disorder
D. Filters contributes to new standards of beauty impossible to achieve
34. What does the underlined word “This” refer to
A. Plastic surgery patients request to look like filtered versions of themselves.
B. Patients show up in their plastic surgeon’s office with photos of celebrities.
C. Quite a few surgeons report that patients are looking for plastic surgery.
D. Patients fail to tell reality from fantasy due to pleasing filtered selfies.
35. The passage mainly talks about the fact that ________.
A. some apps with filters have created brand new standards of beauty
B. some people are unwilling to accept their appearance imperfection
C. some plastic surgeons have authored an article against filtered selfies
D. some people are over-obsessed with looking as perfect as filtered selfies

As schools around the country reopen after winter break, their students are being reminded of the lunch debt they’ve racked up this school year.
Congress ended the free-lunch-for-all program in June, reverting to a system in which low-income families had to fill out paperwork to qualify for aid based on their income. But some families have been left behind because they do not understand the application process. 36 For some kids, the debt can get so big that schools stop giving them a full meal. 37 According to the national campaign No Kid Hungry, students who eat school breakfast have been shown to achieve 17.5% higher scores on standardized math tests.
38 The nonprofit Tusk Philanthropies’ Solving Hunger is funding four organizations focused on promoting policy change on free school meals. In another, Sarah Stusek recorded herself calling Mount Vernon Community School in a viral TikTok video to pay off the Virginia school’s nearly $1,700 lunch debt.
Some states choose to continue free-lunch-for-all programs, including Massachusetts, Nevada, Vermont and Pennsylvania. California, Maine and now Colorado are the only states with laws ensuring permanent universal meal programs for all children, regardless of parents’ income. 39
Results from a national survey shows 847 schools had amassed $19.2 million in lunch debt. Debt varies across the country. Across North Carolina, lunch debt exceeded $1 million as of Nov. 1. 40 . And in Georgia, a nonprofit called All For Lunch paid $130,000 to wipe the debt of several schools across several metro area counties in December.
A. Plenty of kids face going without school lunches or getting smaller.
B. Others are rejected because they do not qualify.
C. School meal prices are rising and families are struggling to pay rent and feed their children.
D. Universal school meals can promote academic achievement.
E. One Wisconsin school district surpassed $14,000 in school lunch debt by October.
F. Several community groups and even social media influencers are donating to help.
G. A few districts, including Chicago and New York City, also offer free meals to kids.

So if we have our dreams and seek for them, we aren’t old. It’s when we don’t know what we want and let 55 be the center point of our lives that we can finally be regarded as the old.

8-year-old Evan was standing by the sidewalk when he noticed Mrs. Carter opening her shop again.
Several days ago, when Evan was passing by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”.
85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day.
Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan Do you want flowers ” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me ”
“A job ” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him.
Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me ” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded.
Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better.
A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan I’d be delighted to have you here.”
“I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter. Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom…

On hearing about your upcoming visit to Chengdu, I felt ever so excited and delighted! I’d like to extend a warm welcome to you!
With the rich culture, long history and mouthwatering food, Chengdu is definitely a top tourist destination tourists can’t miss. Since there’re so many things to explore, I’d like to recommend the Giant Panda Breeding Base to you which is a must-see in Chengdu. As is known to all, the giant panda is such a lovely animal that they’ve won people’s affection across the world. There, you can have a close encounter with them and have a better understanding of their living habits which is undoubtedly hard to resist. Furthermore, as a host of Chengdu, I feel like inviting you to watch the tennis match with me at the Chengdu Summer Universiade. I know you are a big fan of tennis. At the event, we can meet lots of talented tennis players and watch the competitive and enjoyable match. It must be a feast for eyes!
I’m so longing for your visit to Chengdu. I promise I’ll be your hospitable host and great guide here. Just can’t wait to show you around in Chengdu!
Yours,
Li Hua

M: Amy, do you feel like a cold drink
W: I’d like a tomato juice. And can I have a piece of that cake
M: OK. I’ll have some too, with an apple juice. You find us a table and I’ll queue up to buy it.

W: Jack has some of the qualities, but he’s not exactly what we need.
M: What do you mean
W: For this project we need someone who is just as tough, but a lot more patient.

W: Can you drive at top speed, please I have a flight to catch at 2:30.
M: I’m afraid traffic at this time of the day is heavy. You should take the subway.
W: Well, can you drop me off at the nearest station, then
M: Sure.

M: Do you want to come to the movies with Jeff and me, Donna We’re going to see Spider-Man: Homecoming.
W: Uh, I don’t really want to see that movie. Besides, I’m too tired to go anywhere. Say hi to Jeff, though.

M: Miss, just calm down. Tell me who you’re here to see.
W: I have a job interview with Mr. Beringer, but my car broke down on the way, and I was supposed to be here 15 minutes ago!

W: Star Suites. Vera Simpson speaking.
M: This is Alan Johnson. I’d like to book two rooms for three nights.
W: I’m happy to help. We have a special on our business suites from December 23rd to 25th.
M: That sounds attractive, but we need to check in about a week before that. And we only need a couple of simple double rooms.
W: OK. We’ve got plenty of those. When will you arrive
M: We’ll be arriving late on the 16th, but our checkout will be early on the morning of the 19th.
W: Very well, Mr. Johnson. We’re open twenty-four hours a day, so you’re welcome to check in at any time.

W: We’re planning a trip for right after we graduate, and I’m asking everybody where they would like to go most. Any thoughts
M: I’ve always wanted to go somewhere hot like Hawaii. I’d love to just lie on the beach, have a drink... just relax, although I suppose that staying in one place might get boring after a while. How about a trip through Europe
W: You’re not the first person to say that. To be honest, I kind of agree with you. If we were to go to the Bahamas, say, I wouldn’t complain. But Europe sounds more attractive.
M: Well, as it happens, I spoke with a bunch of our friends last night. All of them began by saying the same thing we did about beaches and stuff. In the end, everyone agreed that they’d rather have a more diverse experience.
W: Well, I think we have our destination. Now we just need to get our plane tickets.
M: Hold your horses. We need to calculate the cost first.

M: So, are you enjoying the performance so far
W: Well, you must admit the clothes are beautiful and the set is wonderful, but the acting is a bit boring. What do you think
M: I think you’re a bit particular. The actor in the lead role is very professional. I suppose the music could be a bit better, though.
W: Do you know anyone in the play
M: Actually, the woman playing Ophelia is an old classmate of mine.
W: Really Is that why you wanted to come to the play
M: That’s only a part of it. I absolutely admire this director. Every play he works on turns out great. I’ve seen quite a few other plays that he directed. They are really wonderful. By the way, after the play, there is a big party for the actors and their friends. My friend has invited us. Do you want to go
W: Sure. Oh, look! They are weakening the lights. I think we should go back to our seats for the second half of the play.
M: You are right.

W: Do you think I should go to college, Mike
M: Of course, Brenda! Why not
W: Well, my friend Landon started his own computer software business right out of high school. He didn’t go to college, and he made a million dollars!
M: OK, congratulations to him. But that success story is not common. People should receive as much education as they could.
W: But college is so expensive nowadays. When my brother Jason went to school, his fees were maybe twenty thousand dollars a year. His same school is charging twice that amount now!
M: That’s nothing! New York University costs much more!
W: See! That’s what I mean! Is it really worth the money
M: Listen, I agree that education is too expensive, but college life is such a beautiful part of one’s life. Besides, students can borrow money from the bank.
W: But if everyone suddenly can’t pay back the money, then we’re all influenced!

W: Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed with the logo “Nice Ride” — the name of the city’s bike-share program.
Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike, you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of 1,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota’s (明尼苏达州) largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business, or just to enjoy the city’s many bike paths.
The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Increasing gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to travel by bike.
Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne, Australia. The largest program with 70,000 bikes is in Wuhan, China.
To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the US Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes called greenways.
