第二部分阅读理解（共两节, 满分50分）
第一节（共15小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Classic Books
The Great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Published almost a century ago in 1925, the story of the striving Jay Gatsby is still deeply influential in its exploration of class, society, and the false promise that money can buy happiness. Gatsby's misguided chase for his first love is a sad tale that spans the ages. At the time, the book was considered a commercial failure, but you'd be hard to find a high school course today that didn't include it.
Catcher in the Rye
J.D. Salinger
Written in 1951, Catcher in the Rye brilliantly describes the lonely teen experience of having to grow up and leave the tenderness and innocence（纯真）of childhood behind. Though young adult fiction didn't exist in its current form when J.D. Salinger wrote the novel, it's considered one of the first teen books and constantly appears on high school reading lists.
Frankenstein
Mary Shelley
Written in 1818, this classic from Mary Shelley tells the tale of Victor Frankenstein and the monster（怪物）he creates. The themes of creation and responsibility the book explores still exist today, as technology and science produce more possibilities and power than ever before.
Little Women
Louis May Alcott
The story of the March sisters is a true American classic, and one of the most popular books written by a woman. Published in 1868 and set in the time of the Civil War, the book is popular because of its description of strong women and sisterly love. Not only is the novel a classic, but its film adaptations（of which there have been many）became classics in their own right.
21. What do the first two books have in common
A. They belong to children's books. B. They explore the theme of love.
C. They are read in high school. D. They are based on students' stories.
22. What is special about Frankenstein
A. It reflects present subjects. B. It is connected with science.
C. It produces more possibilities. D. It is about Mary Shelley's story.
23. Which book will you choose if you are interested in the family story
A. The Great Gatsby. B. Catcher in the Rye
C. Frankenstein. D. Little Women.
B
Human activities have caused severe narrowness in over half of the world's largest lakes in the past 30 years, causing risks to health, economies, and the environment, according to a study in the journal Science. The global decline in water storage equals to 17 times the capacity of Lake Mead, the largest lake in the U.S. Overuse of water for agriculture, development, and human-caused climate change are the main factors driving the decline, particularly in natural lakes. The accumulation of dirt and sand behind dams also contributes to the fall of water levels in lakes.
The findings showed "significant declines," stated Fangfang Yao, the lead author of the study. "Roughly one-quarter of the world's population lives in a basin with a drying lake," Yao said. "So the potential impact could be significant."
At least half of the decline in natural lakes was driven by human-caused climate change and overconsumption, which should remind water managers to improve protection and water efficiency, according to Yao. "If you know a lake is falling and that loss resulted from human activities, can we attach more importance to protection and improving water efficiency " she said.
A climate change-driven drought and an ever-growing human thirst have continued to consume the two largest lakes in the U.S. Lake Powell and Lake Mead, which the Colorado River feeds. Lake Chad, one of Africa's largest freshwater lakes which supplies nearly 40 million people with water, has shrunk（收缩）by an estimated 90% since the 1960s.
The United Nations regards access to safe drinking water as a universal human right, yet around 2 billion people lack access to it, and half of the global population experiences severe water shortage annually.
"Uncertainties are increasing," said Richard Connor, the editor-in-chief of a U.N. water report published earlier this year at a press conference in late March, where world leaders met to try and find better strategies for managing the planet's rare freshwater. "If we don't address it, there will definitely be a global disaster."
24. What can we learn about lakes from paragraph 1
A. They are being developed. B. They are becoming smaller.
C. They are causing climate change. D. They are damaged by human activities.
25. Which of the following is the main cause of water shortage
A. Severe environmental problems. B. Ever-increasing world's population.
C. Climate change and overuse of water. D. Drought and an ever-growing human thirst.
26. What does the underlined word "universal" in paragraph 5 mean
A. Unique. B. Normal. C. Particular. D. Common.
27. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To warn people to save water. B. To call on people to protect the environment.
C. To tell people water shortage in the world. D. To find better ways of managing freshwater.
C
Auerbach is one of Britain's most famous painters, with works in every major national gallery. He has been a significant member of the post-war artists, including Bacon, Moore and Freud, whose creative originality made the UK a major pulse（脉搏）for art.
He has also, over the decades, invented a language of art that is recognisably his own, stretching beyond any comfort zone, shocking himself and, in turn, the viewer. A special structural formality in his portraits exists alongside free-flowing marks arising from intense observation. A must-see exhibition of nine paintings and 11 drawings, it's small and, as it is in a commercial gallery, completely free.
Auerbach is today's Grand Old Master of British Art, famously spending 365 days a year in the studio searching through paint for hard truths to give a picture of the human form. A personal connection exists between us as I took his photograph in his studio, marking our friendship lasting almost 40 years.
During the pandemic（流行病）, for the first time in 70 years, Auerbach stopped having art models: so using himself. He stayed alone in his brown cave of a studio in Camden, North London and turned to self-portraits. Perhaps this is the ultimate portrait of the artist as an old man, as he explores his own face in a way he had previously avoided. "I didn't find actual formal components（组成部分）of my head all that interesting when I was younger and less tired. Now that I've got bags under my eyes, things are sagging and so on, there's more material to work with," he writes.
Opposite to the belief that old age may not inspire great works, Auerbach's late career proves otherwise. Like Titian, who influenced Rembrandt, Rubens, and Velázquez, Auerbach's powerful expressiveness is shown in his painting. His new works give an example of the idea of late greats, proving his artistic skills even in his later years.
28. What do we know about Auerbach
A. He made art a major in the UK. B. He took pictures of the human form.
C. He created his own art language. D. He exhibited his paintings regularly.
29. Why did Auerbach draw himself during the pandemic
A. He stayed alone in the studio. B. He stopped using art models.
C. He found his head interesting. D. He wanted to explore his own face.
30. What can we infer about Auerbach in the last paragraph
A. He created great works in his old age. B. He took up painting with other artists.
C. He had opposite belief in great works. D. He had a deep influence on some artists.
31. From which is the text probably taken
A. A literature textbook. B. An art magazine.
C. A research paper. D. A science fiction.
D
It's been about six months since ChatGPT was released to the public, and people everywhere realized just how powerful artificial intelligence already is. Suddenly, we started using the AI chatbot to do all sorts of things, like writing songs, taking the bar exam, and identifying bugs in computer code.
All the wonder and excitement about ChatGPT and other Al platforms comes mixed with anxiety: Will AI take our jobs Will it block democracy Will it kill us all Serious people are asking these questions. Just this week, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company that makes ChatGPT, testified before Congress and called for regulation（规定）of AI systems.
But there is a glimmer of hope—in the form of an economic study. The study looked at the customer service department of a big software company, and it found that ChatGPT made workers much more productive. More interesting, most of those gains came from less skilled workers, while the more skilled workers showed only slight improvement. Put in other words, Al narrowed the productivity gap between lower skilled workers and workers with more skills. This finding is very different from previous findings about the effect of technology on workers over the last four decades. A whole generation of economic research shows that computers have been a major force for increasing inequality. A force for a reduced middle class.
David Autor is a professor at MIT, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest labor economists in the world. He led a lot of that initial research about the computer age and the labor market. And he thinks this study, and another one like it, suggest that we could use Al to expand job opportunities, lower barriers to entry to a whole range of occupations, and reduce inequality.
Today on the show, the American middle class has been reducing for more than forty years. Could AI help change that trend（趋势）
32. What can we say about ChatGPT
A. It can do housework for us. B. It makes people feel worried.
C. It satisfies the majority of people D. It came out more than six mouths ago.
33. What does the study tell us about AI
A. It causes inequality. B. It lessens the middle class.
C. It is useless for skilled workers. D. It improves workers' productivity.
34. What is David Autor's attitude towards AI
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.
35. Which can be the best title for the text
A. People's Concern About AI B. Calls for Regulation of AI Systems
C. ChatGPT Can Make Workers More Productive D. How AI Could Help Rebuild the Middle Class

Five tiny tips that can improve your to-do list
Is there a more effective way to write my to-do list Here are five surprising and useful tips.
36 . "If it takes less than two minutes, just do it right then and there," says Angel Trinidad. It's not worth the bandwidth to write it down, remember it and do it.
Automate（使…自动化）what you can. If you find yourself writing "buy more dog food" on your to-do list every few weeks, save yourself the effort of adding it to your to-do list by signing up for a subscription to get the food delivered to your house each month. 37
Break each task into smaller pieces. People aren't specific enough when they write down items on their to-do lists. For example, I want to retile my kitchen floor. That's not a to-do list item because there are too many steps packed into one big goal. 38 , like "call hardware store for an estimate" or "pick out tile（瓦片）.”
Decide what's a priority. 39 : Take one of your existing to-do list tasks and ask "why" repeatedly—at least five times. For example, why do I want to retile my kitchen floor To make my apartment look better. Why Because a beautiful space makes me feel more at peace.
Try assigning（分配）a task to a time of day. Take a look at your daily schedule and figure out when you can get your tasks done. For example, you might write your novel from 11 a. m. to 2p. m., grocery shop from 2 p. m. -3:30 p.m. 40 . That kind of awareness gets you thinking, am I spending my time in a way that makes sense for me
A. Follow the two-minute rule
B. Include big life goals on your to-do list
C. There is a trick for deciding what's important
D. You can also use it to reach your big-picture goals
E. Instead, break the project into smaller action items
F. It can narrow down how much you can handle in a day
G. That can leave space on your list for more important tasks

Meeting a celebrity（名人）of their choice, most of whom are athletes and actors, is a commonly 46 wish.
Other 47 celebrities who fulfill wishes include Maroon 5, Dwayne Johnson, and Lady Gaga. However, Cena is by far the most requested celebrity and has said he'll always answer the 48 to fulfill these children's dreams. "If you ever need me for this ever, I don't 49 what I'm doing, I will drop what I'm doing and be 50 because I think that's the coolest thing," Cena said of the organization in 2019.
Cena's 51 extends beyond fulfilling wishes. He has donated over six million airline miles to 52 air tickets for families and aims to 53 at least 1,000 wishes. He has also found wish kids even 54 than the toughest opponents he faced in WWE. He eagerly looks forward to fulfilling 500 more wishes, appreciating the huge 55 of wish fulfillment.

Happy Mother's Day
It was Mother's Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving after finishing our shopping, we realized that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground badly. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Fortunately, a lot of people stopped to help out.
While we were walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very worried about what had happened to the elderly couple. He said to me, "Mom, it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone." Seeing that there was a flower stall（摊位）at the front of the supermarket, he added, "Why shouldn't we buy the lady a flower It will make her feel better." I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea. So we went over and told the flower seller what we wanted. "Just take it," she replied. "I can't take your money for such a wonderful deed."
By now medical staff had arrived, and were looking after the injured woman. There we saw the old man was also in great fear, but he tried to comfort his wife and held her hands tightly to encourage her to be strong. We gave the flower to the woman's husband and I told him it was from my son. At that, the old man started crying and said, "Thank you very much." He then turned to me, "You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day to you."
The man bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Regardless of being badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile. And my son bent down his body to the injured lady and gently said, "Happy Mother's Day to you, too."

Dear Tom,
I’m writing this letter to ask for your help. Last week, I had a conflict with one of my classmates. It all started when we were working on a group project together and we had different ideas about how to approach it. We tried to compromise, but in the end, we couldn't agree on anything.
This conflict has left me feeling really upset and frustrated. I don't like having conflicts with people, especially my classmates. It's hard to focus on my studies when there is tension between us.
I'm writing to you because I value your opinion and I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to handle this situation. Thank you for your help.
Yours Sincerely,
Li Hua

M: No. There are some interesting stories in it, such as the story about a 75-year-old entrepreneur’s return to seek his roots in China, a local expert telling a myth and so on.
W: Well, can you tell me more about the stories when you’re free
M: No problem.

Text 10 一个人的动物园
M: Despite various difficulties, Luo Yingjiu, 82, has run a small zoo in Enshi, Hubei province, on his own for 33 years. Most “residents” of the zoo are old and weak, many of which were saved by Luo. The zoo’s lion, tiger and python passed away years ago, leaving a bear, peafowls, monkeys, a Tibetan mastiff, a wild pig, two raccoons and 20 dogs.
Living in the zoo himself, Luo gets up at about 5:00 am, checks the condition of the animals, cleans their house and prepares food for them, before settling down at the gate to welcome visitors. At night, he observes the animals and refills their food and water. He even gets up at around 2:00 am to care for the older ones.
Starting from January, the old man’s granddaughter, Luo Wei, began to post short videos of him looking after these animals online. She hopes to raise public awareness of the zoo and give people a better understanding about her grandfather’s work. Many people tell Luo Yingjiu to rest at this old age, but he says the zoo is his lifetime’s happiness.

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Classic Books
The Great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Published almost a century ago in 1925, the story of the striving Jay Gatsby is still deeply influential in its exploration of class, society, and the false promise that money can buy happiness. Gatsby's misguided chase for his first love is a sad tale that spans the ages. At the time, the book was considered a commercial failure, but you'd be hard to find a high school course today that didn't include it.
Catcher in the Rye
J.D. Salinger
Written in 1951, Catcher in the Rye brilliantly describes the lonely teen experience of having to grow up and leave the tenderness and innocence（纯真）of childhood behind. Though young adult fiction didn't exist in its current form when J.D. Salinger wrote the novel, it's considered one of the first teen books and constantly appears on high school reading lists.
Frankenstein
Mary Shelley
Written in 1818, this classic from Mary Shelley tells the tale of Victor Frankenstein and the monster（怪物）he creates. The themes of creation and responsibility the book explores still exist today, as technology and science produce more possibilities and power than ever before.
Little Women
Louis May Alcott
The story of the March sisters is a true American classic, and one of the most popular books written by a woman. Published in 1868 and set in the time of the Civil War, the book is popular because of its description of strong women and sisterly love. Not only is the novel a classic, but its film adaptations（of which there have been many）became classics in their own right.
21. What do the first two books have in common
A. They belong to children's books. B. They explore the theme of love.
C. They are read in high school. D. They are based on students' stories.
22. What is special about Frankenstein
A. It reflects present subjects. B. It is connected with science.
C. It produces more possibilities. D. It is about Mary Shelley's story.
23. Which book will you choose if you are interested in the family story
A. The Great Gatsby. B. Catcher in the Rye
C. Frankenstein. D. Little Women.
B
Human activities have caused severe narrowness in over half of the world's largest lakes in the past 30 years, causing risks to health, economies, and the environment, according to a study in the journal Science. The global decline in water storage equals to 17 times the capacity of Lake Mead, the largest lake in the U.S. Overuse of water for agriculture, development, and human-caused climate change are the main factors driving the decline, particularly in natural lakes. The accumulation of dirt and sand behind dams also contributes to the fall of water levels in lakes.
The findings showed "significant declines," stated Fangfang Yao, the lead author of the study. "Roughly one-quarter of the world's population lives in a basin with a drying lake," Yao said. "So the potential impact could be significant."
At least half of the decline in natural lakes was driven by human-caused climate change and overconsumption, which should remind water managers to improve protection and water efficiency, according to Yao. "If you know a lake is falling and that loss resulted from human activities, can we attach more importance to protection and improving water efficiency " she said.
A climate change-driven drought and an ever-growing human thirst have continued to consume the two largest lakes in the U.S. Lake Powell and Lake Mead, which the Colorado River feeds. Lake Chad, one of Africa's largest freshwater lakes which supplies nearly 40 million people with water, has shrunk（收缩）by an estimated 90% since the 1960s.
The United Nations regards access to safe drinking water as a universal human right, yet around 2 billion people lack access to it, and half of the global population experiences severe water shortage annually.
"Uncertainties are increasing," said Richard Connor, the editor-in-chief of a U.N. water report published earlier this year at a press conference in late March, where world leaders met to try and find better strategies for managing the planet's rare freshwater. "If we don't address it, there will definitely be a global disaster."
24. What can we learn about lakes from paragraph 1
A. They are being developed. B. They are becoming smaller.
C. They are causing climate change. D. They are damaged by human activities.
25. Which of the following is the main cause of water shortage
A. Severe environmental problems. B. Ever-increasing world's population.
C. Climate change and overuse of water. D. Drought and an ever-growing human thirst.
26. What does the underlined word "universal" in paragraph 5 mean
A. Unique. B. Normal. C. Particular. D. Common.
27. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To warn people to save water. B. To call on people to protect the environment.
C. To tell people water shortage in the world. D. To find better ways of managing freshwater.
C
Auerbach is one of Britain's most famous painters, with works in every major national gallery. He has been a significant member of the post-war artists, including Bacon, Moore and Freud, whose creative originality made the UK a major pulse（脉搏）for art.
He has also, over the decades, invented a language of art that is recognisably his own, stretching beyond any comfort zone, shocking himself and, in turn, the viewer. A special structural formality in his portraits exists alongside free-flowing marks arising from intense observation. A must-see exhibition of nine paintings and 11 drawings, it's small and, as it is in a commercial gallery, completely free.
Auerbach is today's Grand Old Master of British Art, famously spending 365 days a year in the studio searching through paint for hard truths to give a picture of the human form. A personal connection exists between us as I took his photograph in his studio, marking our friendship lasting almost 40 years.
During the pandemic（流行病）, for the first time in 70 years, Auerbach stopped having art models: so using himself. He stayed alone in his brown cave of a studio in Camden, North London and turned to self-portraits. Perhaps this is the ultimate portrait of the artist as an old man, as he explores his own face in a way he had previously avoided. "I didn't find actual formal components（组成部分）of my head all that interesting when I was younger and less tired. Now that I've got bags under my eyes, things are sagging and so on, there's more material to work with," he writes.
Opposite to the belief that old age may not inspire great works, Auerbach's late career proves otherwise. Like Titian, who influenced Rembrandt, Rubens, and Velázquez, Auerbach's powerful expressiveness is shown in his painting. His new works give an example of the idea of late greats, proving his artistic skills even in his later years.
28. What do we know about Auerbach
A. He made art a major in the UK. B. He took pictures of the human form.
C. He created his own art language. D. He exhibited his paintings regularly.
29. Why did Auerbach draw himself during the pandemic
A. He stayed alone in the studio. B. He stopped using art models.
C. He found his head interesting. D. He wanted to explore his own face.
30. What can we infer about Auerbach in the last paragraph
A. He created great works in his old age. B. He took up painting with other artists.
C. He had opposite belief in great works. D. He had a deep influence on some artists.
31. From which is the text probably taken
A. A literature textbook. B. An art magazine.
C. A research paper. D. A science fiction.
D
It's been about six months since ChatGPT was released to the public, and people everywhere realized just how powerful artificial intelligence already is. Suddenly, we started using the AI chatbot to do all sorts of things, like writing songs, taking the bar exam, and identifying bugs in computer code.
All the wonder and excitement about ChatGPT and other Al platforms comes mixed with anxiety: Will AI take our jobs Will it block democracy Will it kill us all Serious people are asking these questions. Just this week, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company that makes ChatGPT, testified before Congress and called for regulation（规定）of AI systems.
But there is a glimmer of hope—in the form of an economic study. The study looked at the customer service department of a big software company, and it found that ChatGPT made workers much more productive. More interesting, most of those gains came from less skilled workers, while the more skilled workers showed only slight improvement. Put in other words, Al narrowed the productivity gap between lower skilled workers and workers with more skills. This finding is very different from previous findings about the effect of technology on workers over the last four decades. A whole generation of economic research shows that computers have been a major force for increasing inequality. A force for a reduced middle class.
David Autor is a professor at MIT, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest labor economists in the world. He led a lot of that initial research about the computer age and the labor market. And he thinks this study, and another one like it, suggest that we could use Al to expand job opportunities, lower barriers to entry to a whole range of occupations, and reduce inequality.
Today on the show, the American middle class has been reducing for more than forty years. Could AI help change that trend（趋势）
32. What can we say about ChatGPT
A. It can do housework for us. B. It makes people feel worried.
C. It satisfies the majority of people D. It came out more than six mouths ago.
33. What does the study tell us about AI
A. It causes inequality. B. It lessens the middle class.
C. It is useless for skilled workers. D. It improves workers' productivity.
34. What is David Autor's attitude towards AI
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.
35. Which can be the best title for the text
A. People's Concern About AI B. Calls for Regulation of AI Systems
C. ChatGPT Can Make Workers More Productive D. How AI Could Help Rebuild the Middle Class

Five tiny tips that can improve your to-do list
Is there a more effective way to write my to-do list Here are five surprising and useful tips.
36 . "If it takes less than two minutes, just do it right then and there," says Angel Trinidad. It's not worth the bandwidth to write it down, remember it and do it.
Automate（使…自动化）what you can. If you find yourself writing "buy more dog food" on your to-do list every few weeks, save yourself the effort of adding it to your to-do list by signing up for a subscription to get the food delivered to your house each month. 37
Break each task into smaller pieces. People aren't specific enough when they write down items on their to-do lists. For example, I want to retile my kitchen floor. That's not a to-do list item because there are too many steps packed into one big goal. 38 , like "call hardware store for an estimate" or "pick out tile（瓦片）.”
Decide what's a priority. 39 : Take one of your existing to-do list tasks and ask "why" repeatedly—at least five times. For example, why do I want to retile my kitchen floor To make my apartment look better. Why Because a beautiful space makes me feel more at peace.
Try assigning（分配）a task to a time of day. Take a look at your daily schedule and figure out when you can get your tasks done. For example, you might write your novel from 11 a. m. to 2p. m., grocery shop from 2 p. m. -3:30 p.m. 40 . That kind of awareness gets you thinking, am I spending my time in a way that makes sense for me
A. Follow the two-minute rule
B. Include big life goals on your to-do list
C. There is a trick for deciding what's important
D. You can also use it to reach your big-picture goals
E. Instead, break the project into smaller action items
F. It can narrow down how much you can handle in a day
G. That can leave space on your list for more important tasks

Make-A-Wish, established 42 years ago, fulfills（实现）dreams for 45 ill children aged 2-18, providing fun experiences like trips to Disney World, family reunions, concerts, and vacations. Meeting a celebrity（名人）of their choice, most of whom are athletes and actors, is a commonly 46 wish.
Other 47 celebrities who fulfill wishes include Maroon 5, Dwayne Johnson, and Lady Gaga. However, Cena is by far the most requested celebrity and has said he'll always answer the 48 to fulfill these children's dreams. "If you ever need me for this ever, I don't 49 what I'm doing, I will drop what I'm doing and be 50 because I think that's the coolest thing," Cena said of the organization in 2019.
Cena's 51 extends beyond fulfilling wishes. He has donated over six million airline miles to 52 air tickets for families and aims to 53 at least 1,000 wishes. He has also found wish kids even 54 than the toughest opponents he faced in WWE. He eagerly looks forward to fulfilling 500 more wishes, appreciating the huge 55 of wish fulfillment.

Happy Mother's Day
It was Mother's Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving after finishing our shopping, we realized that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground badly. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Fortunately, a lot of people stopped to help out.
While we were walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very worried about what had happened to the elderly couple. He said to me, "Mom, it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone." Seeing that there was a flower stall（摊位）at the front of the supermarket, he added, "Why shouldn't we buy the lady a flower It will make her feel better." I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea. So we went over and told the flower seller what we wanted. "Just take it," she replied. "I can't take your money for such a wonderful deed."
By now medical staff had arrived, and were looking after the injured woman. There we saw the old man was also in great fear, but he tried to comfort his wife and held her hands tightly to encourage her to be strong. We gave the flower to the woman's husband and I told him it was from my son. At that, the old man started crying and said, "Thank you very much." He then turned to me, "You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day to you."
The man bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Regardless of being badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile. And my son bent down his body to the injured lady and gently said, "Happy Mother's Day to you, too."

Dear Tom,
I’m writing this letter to ask for your help. Last week, I had a conflict with one of my classmates. It all started when we were working on a group project together and we had different ideas about how to approach it. We tried to compromise, but in the end, we couldn't agree on anything.
This conflict has left me feeling really upset and frustrated. I don't like having conflicts with people, especially my classmates. It's hard to focus on my studies when there is tension between us.
I'm writing to you because I value your opinion and I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to handle this situation. Thank you for your help.
Yours Sincerely,
Li Hua

Text 10 一个人的动物园
M: Despite various difficulties, Luo Yingjiu, 82, has run a small zoo in Enshi, Hubei province, on his own for 33 years. Most “residents” of the zoo are old and weak, many of which were saved by Luo. The zoo’s lion, tiger and python passed away years ago, leaving a bear, peafowls, monkeys, a Tibetan mastiff, a wild pig, two raccoons and 20 dogs.
Living in the zoo himself, Luo gets up at about 5:00 am, checks the condition of the animals, cleans their house and prepares food for them, before settling down at the gate to welcome visitors. At night, he observes the animals and refills their food and water. He even gets up at around 2:00 am to care for the older ones.
Starting from January, the old man’s granddaughter, Luo Wei, began to post short videos of him looking after these animals online. She hopes to raise public awareness of the zoo and give people a better understanding about her grandfather’s work. Many people tell Luo Yingjiu to rest at this old age, but he says the zoo is his lifetime’s happiness.
