The Amazon Rainforest, often called the “lungs of the Earth”, has always mesmerized me with its biodiversity (生物多样性) and local tribes (部落).When I had the chance to join a research expedition, I took it, excited about the adventure ahead. I didn't know it would be a great experience.
The journey into the rainforest was tough, such as the dense leaves, endless rain and the sound of insects and animals. However, the beauty of the rainforest was amazing.One of the most exciting parts of the trip was meeting a local tribe. Their way of life, so connected to nature, was different from our urban lives. Learning about their customs and understanding their relationship with the rainforest was a special experience. It made me realize how separated from nature we have become in the technological advancement.The trip was not without challenges. Walking in the forest, dealing with the bad weather and dealing with the fear of the unknown tested our willpower. However, every challenge we overcame brought a sense of achievement and strengthened our team bond.It taught me the间生importance of teamwork and adaptability.
As we left the rainforest, I recalled the impact the trip had on me. It was not just an adventure but a journey of self-discovery.
My trip to the Amazon rainforest was a meaningful experience. It was a journey that pushed my boundaries (边界), taught me valuable lessons and left me with unforgettable memories. It was not just a trip, but an exploration of the unknown and a reminder of our responsibility towards our planet, The adventure may have ended, but the journey continues, as I carry the lessons and memories with me, influencing my life and choices.

The world loves a cup of tea, It only takes a few grams to make a cup of tea and millions of tons of tea are consumed every year. Tea can be good for you because it contains somethings that help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Tea also contains caffeine (咖啡因), which improves not only mental alertness but can also increase anxiety and cause other problems.
What would be agreeable is a tea plant that provides all the taste and goodness but with little or none of caffeine. Chen Liang and Jin Jiqiang in the Tea Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences think they have found just such a plant, growing wild in are mote area in southern China's Fujian Province. Known locally as hongyacha, the discovered plant grows only between 700 meters and 1,000 meters above sea level around a handful of Chinese villages. As they report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, not only is the tea plant naturally caffeine-free but it also contains a number of unique medicinal compounds that,the locals believe, offer considerable health benefits.
The researchers are now exploring methods to protect hongyacha in its natural habitat while further studies are carried out, It can take time and sometimes it does not work--for new plant varieties to be bred for commercial use. A pair of naturally caffeine-free coffe plants were discovered in 2003, but little progress has been reported, Tea lovers will be watching hongyacha with interest. And others will wonder what else is out there.

“Hello Mother, Dad, and Blanche,” a quiet voice, has clearly been played many times” The disc is small,“How's everything at home I'm recording this from Dallas. ..over.seven inches across, dated October 1954. The old label shows that the speaker's name is“Gene”. Gene suggests in his minute-long message that he is traveling and tells his family not to worry about him.
This forgotten sound is one of the world's early “voice mails”. During the first half of the20th century, these “voice mails” and other messages were recorded largely, pressed onto metal discs and vinyl records (黑胶唱片) and mailed in places all over the world, When Thomas Edison invented the phonograph (留声机)in 1877，he expected a device that could reproduce music and even store languages.
The gramophone, a later form of the phonograph developed by Emile Berliner in 1887,provided a first possibility for recorded sound being used for long distance communication.The practice of sending “voice mails really got going across the world in the 1930s and 1940s.Back then, families could listen to the messages on repeat-gathering together around the record player whenever one arrived. They could play it proudly again anytime there were guests, but with each play, the needle would scrape away at the grooves (凹槽) until the message could hardly be heard any longer.Today at Princeton University, professor Thomas Levin is trying to store these sounds of the past, Linguists (语言学家) are particularly interested in “voice mails” because it provides some of the earliest-ever recorded samples of how regular people spoke-their conversational vocabulary their pronunciation and accents, their sentence structure and their intonation (语调)
32. Why did Gene record his voice in the disc
A To let his family know he was OK.
B. To prepare for his experiment.
C. To test an old vinyl record.
D. To keep a memory.
33. Which of the following is the disadvantage of gramophone
A. People couldn't listen to the music in it.
B. It couldn't keep voice in the records very clear.
C.The recorded sound would be damaged by the needle.
D. The needle of the gramophone must be changed often.
34. For what do linguists study “voice mails”
A. To research the earliest-ever recorded voice.
B. To prove recorded samples are true.
C.To learn from famous historical linguists.
D. To reproduce the sound of the past.
35.What is the best title for the text
A. The Early Days of Recorded Sound
B. The Importance of“Voice Mails”
C. The Development of Our Language
D. The history of “Voice Mails”

I spent almost three years in food service doing everything from washing dishes to working as a service director at a country club, Firstly, I waited tables, and it was actually one of my favorite jobs, mostly because of the people, One thing I learned is doing your job right .and focusing on ensuring that your customers have the best dining experience.
During college, I worked at a place called O'Malleys. It's not open anymore so I don't have to worry about getting anybody in trouble, and besides, this isn't that kind of story.Every Sunday, these two ladies and a little girl would come in, and nobody wanted to wait on them because they were super cheap and never tipped, so I volunteered, and they became my regulars, I quickly learned that it was a mom, her young daughter, and her mother. They always ordered the same thing. They'd each get water, The two women would split an entree(主菜),and the young girl would get something off the child's menu.And they'd leave no tip. I didn't really care because Sunday lunch was always busy with the crowd, and their check was so small that even a 20% tip would have been just a few dollars. Besides, they were super nice, and I understood that this was their special time out.Going out just wasn't something they could do. I did my best to treat them just like everybody else，which they appreciated.
This went on for over a year, Every Sunday, they would come in their pretty dresses, sit in my section, order the same thing they always did, and not leave me a tip... until one day,they did.
That day, they came in and ordered iced tea and a soda for the girl, I knew something was up. The two ladies each got their own entree nothing share, The little girl got a full order of chicken strips. I'm not sure why I remember exactly what she ordered.注意:

Of course , I asked what the celebration was. I mean, it was obvious this was a special occasion. The mother of the small girl smiled at me and said, “I just graduated from nursing school, We wanted to come see you one last time and say thank you for making our Sundays so special, It meant so much to us to come in here and be treated like everybody else, even though we could never order very much or leave you a tip.
The mother said they were moving to Dallas the next week. She said,“ We won't becoming back. I got a job at Major Hospital, and we won't see you anymore. ” I smiled and wished them the best of luck, letting them know I'd miss them, They enjoyed the delicious food happily. When I picked up their check, they had left me a fifty-dollar tip, which was about 150% of their bill, From the story, I see: Don't worry about tips because you never know the customer's true story. Sometimes the memory is worth more than the money.
