Being deaf in a hearing world can lead to painful feelings of isolation(孤独).
Waitress Kelsey recently shared an experience on a social media sharing site that zoomed(猛涨) to the top of the front page of the Internet. In her brief post, Kelsey explained that she waits tables at a bar during the evenings, and one night she noticed a deaf man sitting alone in her section.
When Kelsey isn't working at the bar, she earns good hourly pay doing sign language interpretation(手语翻译), so she sensed an opportunity to use her skill to make this customer feel a little less alone in the world. She approached his table and began chatting with him in sign language.
When the table next to the man noticed their silent conversation, they asked Kelsey how long she'd been signing. They had a brief conversation about her goal of becoming qualified to interpret sign language in a medical or mental health setting. She didn't think much about the whole exchange until the customers had left the bar and she was tidying up the tables. There, on the table of the customers who'd seen her sign language conversation with the deaf man, was a handwritten note.
“Thank you for what you do; it absolutely matters!” the note said. “Good luck with finishing your degree!” Not only that, but they'd left her a $100 tip.
Kelsey was moved by the kind note, especially because she wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary. To her, she was just conversing with someone in a language that only he understood. Yet to the deaf man and the people seated next to him, she'd bridged a gap and helped someone who probably feels lonely a lot of the time.
Kelsey shared the note on the Internet to spread more love and light in the world.

Online, English has become a common language for users from around the world. In the process, the language itself is changing. There are now thought to be some 4.5 billion web pages worldwide. Some language experts predict that within 10 years English will occupy the Internet—but in forms that will be very different to what we accept and recognize as English today.
That's because people who speak English as a second language already outnumber native speakers. And increasingly, they use it to communicate with other non native speakers, particularly on the Internet where less attention is paid to grammar and spelling and users don't have to worry about their accent(口音).
Users of Facebook already socialize in a number of different “Englishes” including Indian English, Spanish English and Korean English. While these different styles have long existed within their cultures, they're now expanding and coming online. Technology companies are introducing newly developed English words with products aimed at enabling users to add words that are not in the English dictionary. And most large companies have English websites, while smaller businesses are learning that they need a common language—English—to reach global customers.
The increasing popularity of the Internet allows more languages to develop quickly.
“Most people actually speak several languages—it's less common to speak only one,” says Mr. Munro. “English has taken its place as the world's common language, but it's not pushing out other languages.” Instead, other languages are pushing their way into English, in the process creating something new.
8.Which of the following is true about online communication
A.People need to spell exactly.
B.Grammar is not so important.
C.People need to pay attention to their accent.
D.Most English speakers are native speakers.
9.What can we infer from the text
A.We can only communicate online in English.
B.It's impossible to find all the English words in the dictionary.
C.Some technology companies start to publish English dictionaries.
D.Smaller businesses are not allowed to have English websites.
10.What can we learn from what Mr. Munro says
A.Other languages are enriching English.
B.One can't live well without speaking several languages.
C.English will become the only language in the world.
D.Chinese used to be the world's common language.
11.What does the text mainly talk about
A.English is a common language around the world.
B.There are now many different language styles.
C.English is developing with the Internet.
D.Smaller businesses are learning a common language.

Another three astronauts(宇航员) went into space on Oct. 16, 2021. How do they sleep in space In fact, they don't have beds in the space station but they do have sleeping bags. During the day, when they are working, they leave the bags tied to the wall, out of the way. At bedtime they untie them and take them wherever they've chosen to sleep.
On most space station flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the space station; the space station's computers and the engineers at the mission control do that. If anything goes wrong, the computers will raise the alarm and the engineers will call them by radio.
In the space station, bedtime doesn't mean nighttime. During each ninety or so minute orbit the sun “rises” and shines through their windows for about fifty minutes, and then it “sets” as their space station takes them around the dark side of the Earth. To keep the sun out of their eyes, they wear black sleep masks.
It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut sleeps differently—some sleep upside down, some sideways, and others right side up. When it's time to sleep, some will take their bags, their sleep masks, and their tape players with earphones and float up to the flight deck. Then they crawl into the bag, and float in a sitting position just above a seat, and right next to a window. Before they pull the mask down over their eyes, they have a rest for a while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by beneath them.
12.When it's bedtime, where do the astronauts put their sleeping bags
A.On the wall.
B.At the mission control.
C.In the flight deck.
D.In any place they like.
13.What does the underlined phrase “watch over” in the second paragraph probably mean
A.Go over to. B.Research on.
C.Look into. D.Take care of.
14.How long does it take for the space station to go round the Earth once
A.Forty minutes.
B.About fifty minutes.
C.About ninety minutes.
D.Twenty four hours.
15.What is the best title for this passage
A.Sleeping in the Space Station
B.Travel in Space
C.Sleeping Equipment for Astronauts
D.The Earth Seen from Outer Space

Sometimes when we are learning a new language it can be really frightening to start speaking it with other people. 16 , as it will help us gain confidence in ourselves. Here are some great tips that can help you overcome your fear of speaking a new language.
Accept that you are going to make mistakes and learn from them.
People make mistakes all the time, especially when speaking a new language. Don't be sad or feel disappointed if you make mistakes; it's part of the process of improving your speaking ability. 17 . As Albert Einstein said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
18 .
Once you have started speaking a new language, don't be afraid to ask people questions about how to say or pronounce something. Most of the time people will be more than happy to help you if you have any questions.
Don't be shy.
One of non native speakers' problems is being too shy to speak. 19 . Be aware that most people speak more than one language and know how difficult it is to learn a new one. Also, most people really don't even notice if you say something wrong.
Enjoy yourself.
You are learning another language surely for some reasons, so go ahead, have fun, make mistakes and even invent new words! 20 .
A.Ask for help
B.Try to be curious
C.It's all part of the process
D.This fear of speaking a new language makes us nervous
E.This can be the biggest problem for a lot of people

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
8 year old Evan was standing by the sidewalk when he noticed Mrs. Carter open her shop again.
Several days ago, when Evan passed 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 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! Could you please hire me ”
“A job ” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied that 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) of flowers 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. Could 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 of her. While making a huge bouquet of flowers for Evan's mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed an 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.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom.
Paragraph 2:
Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter.

One possible version:
Dear Robert,
Knowing that you are longing for some advice on how to improve your Chinese, I am very glad to offer you a few suggestions.
First of all, it is helpful to watch TV programs in Chinese whenever possible, which can provide you with enjoyable context and make your learning interesting. Besides, it should be a good idea to learn to sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you'll learn and remember Chinese characters more easily. What's more, keeping a diary in Chinese will help you improve it.
May you make great progress!
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom. “Happy Birthday, Mom!” he cried, running up to her. Stacey was shocked at the huge bouquet. “Where did you get it ” she asked. When Evan told the whole story, Stacey was delighted and hugged her son tightly. Evan smiled and was about to give her the bouquet when he suddenly noticed the envelope. He pulled it out and found the money in it. “But I told Mrs. Carter not to pay me! I think this got here by mistake!” said Evan.
Paragraph 2:
Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. When they reached her store and were about to return the money, Mrs. Carter smiled and said, “It's the pay for Evan. He did a very good job. Keep it. The flowers are my gift for you.” Stacey was grateful for Mrs. Carter's kindness and invited her home for dinner that night to celebrate her birthday together. From then on, Stacey joined Evan in helping Mrs. Carter in her store and they became friends.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
8 year old Evan was standing by the sidewalk when he noticed Mrs. Carter open her shop again.
Several days ago, when Evan passed 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 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! Could you please hire me ”
“A job ” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied that 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) of flowers 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. Could 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 of her. While making a huge bouquet of flowers for Evan's mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed an 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.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom.
Paragraph 2:
Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter.

Dear Robert,
Knowing that you are longing for some advice on how to improve your Chinese, I am very glad to offer you a few suggestions.
First of all, it is helpful to watch TV programs in Chinese whenever possible, which can provide you with enjoyable context and make your learning interesting. Besides, it should be a good idea to learn to sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you'll learn and remember Chinese characters more easily. What's more, keeping a diary in Chinese will help you improve it.
May you make great progress!
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom. “Happy Birthday, Mom!” he cried, running up to her. Stacey was shocked at the huge bouquet. “Where did you get it ” she asked. When Evan told the whole story, Stacey was delighted and hugged her son tightly. Evan smiled and was about to give her the bouquet when he suddenly noticed the envelope. He pulled it out and found the money in it. “But I told Mrs. Carter not to pay me! I think this got here by mistake!” said Evan.
Paragraph 2:
Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. When they reached her store and were about to return the money, Mrs. Carter smiled and said, “It's the pay for Evan. He did a very good job. Keep it. The flowers are my gift for you.” Stacey was grateful for Mrs. Carter's kindness and invited her home for dinner that night to celebrate her birthday together. From then on, Stacey joined Evan in helping Mrs. Carter in her store and they became friends.
