I am always thankful to the gentleman I met on my first flight.
My story happened in June, 1975. It began when my family was finally told that we had 11 met all the requirements to move into Canada.
We immediately set about selling our family things to have enough 12 so that we could start our life in a new country. However, we were only 13 to take a small amount of money with us on the flight. The rest was required to be sent directly to a bank 14 in Canada. The only money we took with us was $16.
For me and the children, this was our first time to travel by plane. We were all 15 by everything new we were experiencing. We did not yet have TVs in our home country. So we were excited about watching the in-flight 16 .
On the flight, the air hostess came around to give out the headphones to passengers. But since we were flying economy class（经济舱）, we were told that the headphones 17 $1. The kids looked at us 18 and asked if they could have a set of headphones which they would share with each other. Because we had only $16 with us until we 19 Canada, we could not 20 the money on headphones—not even one set. When we explained our difficulty to the kids, they accepted it without saying too much.
But our 21 must have shown clearly. A gentleman nearby handed his headphones to us, smiling, without saying a word. The kids’ faces were 22 with joy. I don’t remember which movie they saw, but I do know they enjoyed every moment of it.
This event definitely had a powerful effect on our children. They are now always ready to help anyone in need.
Although I cannot remember the face of the 23 gentleman on that flight, I’ll always remember the 24 rising up in our hearts by this small act of kindness for my whole life.

A
In the past, working people in Britain only had holidays on “holy”（与宗教有关的）days such as Sundays and Christmas. Now most people have about four weeks’ holiday every year and public holidays which are also called “bank holidays”.
When
British people usually have their holidays in summer. Many working people take a two-week holiday in July or August. School children are on holiday from the end of July to the start of September. A second holiday break in winter or in spring is also becoming more popular in the UK.
Where
The most popular holiday places for British include Spain, France and the USA. Lots of people buy a kind of service which includes flights and a hotel or an apartment. Cheap flights to go abroad mean that many British people are able to spend two weeks a year holidaying abroad. Flights are much cheaper during school term time and the British government is worried that some young people are missing school to go on holiday. Parents who take their children on holiday during term time now have to pay a fine.
Things to See
British people also like to go on holiday in the UK. What can young British people do on a UK holiday Here are a few examples. Alton Towers is one of the top UK parks. It is famous for its scaring rides and is very popular with teenagers. The Eden Project is an environmental project in the south-west of England, where you can see plants from all around the world.
Independent Holidays
Some teenagers want to spend their holidays doing something without their family. A language exchange（交换）is one way to be more independent and learn more language skills. A British teenager spends a week or two in a foreign country, staying with a family who has a son or daughter of the same age, and practising the local language. Later the foreign teenager visits the UK to practise English with the British family.
25. When are British people likely to go on holiday

Li Jing, 29, is a native of Cuijiaba, a small town in Hubei Province. She was one of the first people from her community to go for higher education. After graduation, she worked in Wuhan first, and then she changed her decision last year to return to her village.
“I want to be a part of my hometown’s development and bring about real changes to our villagers while realizing my own personal value,” Li said.
After returning to her hometown, Li received strong support from her family, while there were some villagers who questioned her decision. She decided to show her love to the hometown through action.
Her job included a great deal of communication with the villagers mainly to increase potato production. “We regularly hold meetings in the village square, where we share ideas on potato planting skills, selling methods, market changes and more,” Li said.
To increase sales outside the village, the young workforce in the village chose to go into the world of livestreaming（直播）. This new marketing method has produced satisfying results. Together with other methods like doing online business on websites and apps, the money that a family can get from potato sales in a year has risen sharply from 1,000 yuan to the present number of 20,000 yuan, according to Li.
However, the road to success is not always easy. “At first, some people were not willing to accept the new ideas,” Li said. But Li didn’t force them. Instead, she chose to communicate with effort. Li and her workmates would also search online for other villages’ success stories about the application of livestreaming, and shared them with villagers. She knew communications took a lot of time and energy, but she believed it’s all worth it. Li said, “True smiles on the faces of the villagers are the best gifts for me.”
In the near future, Li hopes to continue helping her villagers raise their potato production and earn more money. Her long-term goal is to help rural areas further develop and integrate（结合）with the city. She said hopefully, “We will continually find ways to bring happiness to the villagers and the long-term development to the countryside.”

B. defended herself at meetings
C. took action to help the villagers
D. immediately went back to cities

A. putting up ads on TVs
B. taking up livestreaming
C. producing satisfying results
D. communicating with other villagers
33. What does Li think of the future plan in the rural areas

34. What can we learn from the passage
A. All good things come to an end.

C. You cannot eat your cake and have it.
D. A single flower does not make a spring.
C
Is your teen time really that different from that of your parents or grandparents
Weak. Easy to be angry. Addicted to their phones. Are these what come to mind when we think of the teens of this generation（一代人） While there may be a little of truth to this thought, there might be more to the teens of this generation than what is generally seen.
Never before have the lives of any generation been as connected with mobile technology and social media as the teens of this generation. It follows then that there will be some problems resulting from this new age of technology. The popular use of social media has led to a world in which teens are responsible to join. Compared to the parents or grandparents who were likely less connected, these teens are “busy” in their social circles. It is no wonder then that the health of this generation’s teens has been damaged.
Moreover, the teens today are more independent. This is quite different from the more village spirit or community thought of the parents’ and grandparents’ times. Gone is the relationship among neighbours who are friendly with one another and quick to offer a helping hand when they see another in need. In its place, we have teens who may not even know who lives in the unit next to theirs, much less offer a friendly nod or wave when they happen to cross streets with a neighbour.
Yet, the influences of technology on the teens of this generation are not all bad. The very connectedness that social media brings about has led to an opening of minds and a development of dialogue among people of various cultures and backgrounds. Using social media means that one can know those people and their different ways of life. The parents or grandparents of this generation probably did not have the same chance to get to know people outside of their social circles at their age, so they may have fixed ideas of people different from them. The teens of this generation, on the other hand, has the chance to use this technology to learn more about and try to understand the various things out there. As a result, this might be why the teens of this generation are generally more open-minded than their parents and grandparents.
All in all, the teens of this generation are different in many ways from their elders. Every generation is a product of the events of their time and this generation therefore is different from past generations, with the changes around them at the same time.
35. Which statement is correct according to the passage
A. Most old people may not know their next-door neighbors.
B. People usually think the new generation is stronger and calmer.
C. Social media and technology may bring some influences to teens.
D. The new generation may have fixed ideas of people different from them.
36. What does the underlined word “damaged” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Broken. B. Relieved.
C. Increased. D. Developed.
37. According to the writer, which of the following words can best describe the new generation
A. Brave and smart. B. Open and independent.
C. Friendly and confident. D. Responsible and patient.
38. What can we learn from Paragraph 5
A. The new generation is better because of their age.
B. Technology has bad influences on the old generation.
C. People use social media to learn different people.
D. The use of social media brings some benefits to the new generation.
39. Which would be the best title（标题）for this passage
A. How Does the New Generation Change the Culture
B. How Are Teens Today Different from Past Generations
C. What Are the Weaknesses of the Old and New Generation
D. What Are the Influences of Technology on the New Generation

Dear Jack,
I’m glad to know that you’re interested in our school’s Winter Running Event. I would like to share something about it with you.
The event started on December 1st, right on our playground. All the students and teachers couldn’t wait to join in the 1000-meter morning run. We first did the warm-up exercises with the help of our PE teachers to get ready for it. Then we started running in two lines along the tracks. More interestingly, we could run to our own chosen music which made the event more enjoyable and dynamic.
After completing the run, I was filled with a special sense of achievement. And I have learned that running can not only build up our body but also provide relief from tension due to hard work.
How about your school activities Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
