Let’s face it: Life is hard. But it doesn’t have to be, especially if you have the following products. From a workout mirror to a water purifier, your day-to-day routine is about to get a lot easier.
Tempo Move
$495 SHOP. TEMPO. FIT
Tempo makes exercise truly convenient from your own home. You may recognize it as one of the many workout mirrors on the market, but the new tempo move system allows you to easily connect your phone and their apps to a TV and follow along with all their wonderful classes.
VIVE Flow
$499 AT
Vive goggles will bring an extremely accessible and refreshing approach to the VR world. The Vive goggles are, well, a pair of goggles not unlike something you’d wear to snowboard. They’re extremely lightweight with a lightning fast set-up that’s suitable for things like watching Netflix, or meditation (冥想). It’s the calmest headset I’ve ever worn and uses cameras to let you control everything with just your hands.
Hisense 75”U 80X0GR 8K ULED Roku TV
$1, 800 AT BEST BUY
8K sounded like a luxury, but now that brands like Hisense, which focus on a more affordable version, have got some time with the tech. You can finally bring the deep color output and astonishing detail into your living room. Calling it “affordable” may be a little overstate but compared to most 8K TVs which all run over $5, 000, it’s the most cost-efficient version of the tech we’ve got.
LARQ Water Purifier

Larq just made your water cleaner with light technology. The best part is that it somehow manages to taste clean and fresh too.

At 1:43 a.m., Bertozzi was awakened by a phone call from a Nobel committee representative
who, revealing the significant news, told her, “You have 50 minutes to collect yourself and wait until your life changes.”
Instructed not to share the announcement outside of her tightest inner circle, the first person
Bertozzi called was her father, William Bertozzi, a retired physics professor from MIT. “He’s 91 and, of course, he was just overjoyed,” said Bertozzi. “And then he called my sisters for me. One of my sisters and my dad watched it live.”
Bertozzi was recognized for founding the field of biorthogonal chemistry, a set of chemical reactions that allow researchers to study molecules (分子) and their interactions in living things without involving natural biological processes, Bertozzi’s lab has been using the new methods to answer basic questions about the role of sugars in biology, to solve practical problems, such as developing better tests for infectious diseases, and to create a new medicine that can better target tumors (肿瘤).
“I could not be more delighted that Bertozzi has won the Nobel Prize in chemistry,” said Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne. “In pioneering the field of biorthogonal chemistry, Bertozzi invented a new way of studying biomolecular processes, one that has helped scientists around the world gain deeper understanding of chemical reactions in living systems. Being a crown
jewel in chemistry, her work has had outstanding real-world impact. The research achievements have been used to study how cells build proteins and other molecules, to develop new cancer medicines, and to produce new materials for energy storage, among many other applications.”
“They call and I’m not even awake ... Starbucks isn’t even open yet,” she exclaimed while in
her pajamas at her kitchen table. By 3 a.m., Bertozzi had nearly three dozen voicemails. “This is how it’s going to be all day. This is insane,” she said. “Maybe I should cancel meetings.”
Pausing between interviews about two hours later to check her messages, Bertozzi said, “My
family is already booking their flights to Stockholm. It’s amazing. Go back to sleep!”
24. Why was a call made to Bertozzi at midnight
A. To warn her of some emergency. B. To prepare for a meeting.
C. To inform her of winning the prize. D. To collect things to visit her relatives.
25. What does Bertozzi’s lab use the new methods to do
A. Develop a new drug for cancer. B. Produce more nutritious sugars.
C. Separate biology from chemistry. D. Find cures for infectious diseases.
26. What does the underlined part “a crown jewel” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The king’s treasure. B. The universal focus.
C. The most complex part. D. The most valuable breakthrough.
27. What kind of person is Bertozzi
A. Courageous and quiet. B. Creative and generous.
C. Pioneering and humorous. D. Wise and hard-working.
C
It’s really a challenge for people to find consistent motivation to exercise regularly. Wishing not to hit gyms, you can invent tons of excuses. However, out of most people’s expectation, a certain amount of physical exercise every week can stop your IQ from declining.
IQ, to a large degree, is determined by genes. It has long been established that genes account for about 70 percent of IQ. And environmental factors, like diet, quality of education and brain stimulation, affect the other 30 percent.
IQ can be put into two types --- “fluid” and “crystallized” intelligence. The former refers to the ability to reason and think flexibly, while the latter refers to the build-up of knowledge, facts, and skills that are acquired throughout life. The two have a dynamic relationship: fluid IQ decides how much information you can take in and how fast you can take it in, which means a higher fluid IQ contributes to your crystallized IQ. They keep growing until your early twenties, when they both reach the peak. Unfortunately, this will not keep the same for the rest of your life. Fluid intelligence declines rapidly with age.
What causes this decline It all comes down to your cardiovascular (心血管的) system. It calls for a large amount of oxygen for the brain to function well. The less exercise you have as you get old, the less oxygen your heart provides to supply your brain. Exercise also promotes the release of certain chemicals that are critical to the brain’s health, bringing about better concentration and memory.
Taking proper physical exercise can help to prevent IQ from declining as you get older. Why not choose to hit the gym for the sake of IQ intelligence
28. How is the second paragraph mainly developed
A. By making comparisons. B. By listing the numbers and data.
C. By explaining the reasons. D. By giving examples.
29. Which of the following is right according to this passage
A. Crystallized intelligence develops more slowly than Fluid intelligence.
B. Fluid intelligence is more important than Crystallized intelligence.
C. A lower fluid intelligence is not good for Crystallized intelligence.
D. Fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence increase with age.
30. What problem should be to blame for the decline of IQ intelligence
A. A mental disorder. B. A bad mood.
C. A lack of flexibility. D. A weak heart.
31. What’s the purpose of writing this passage
A. To persuade people to exercise.
B. To inform people of IQ intelligence.
C. To criticize those who are lazy.
D. To advertise for gyms.
D
Both Alice and Curie love traveling to other countries, and they came together for this hobby. Though they had been married for 5 years, their shared hobby is also a source of contention. “It is I who do all the planning and book,” says Alice. “Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy it, but if Curie cared a little more about it, he wouldn’t show up for a flight to Grenada packed for a winter break. ‘Jumpers and boots!’ I cried. ‘You’re supposed to have packed shorts and T-shirts ─ it’s 30℃ in the Caribbean!’ Then I realized he thought we were going to Granada, in Spain.
How Alice and Curie each deal with their travel plans is just an example of the many ways in which men and women differ. Yet, is what goes on inside our minds and bodies really so different Furthermore, are we born that way
Scientists are divided on this issue. The majority of them believed that patterns of behavior thought to be more male or female are learnt firstly from our parents, then from our peers and, ultimately, from the societies in which we live. As Simone de Beauvoir famously said, “one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”
However, some other scientists believed that male and female brains are actually wired differently. In one study in which 34 monkeys were required to interact with different types of toys, the males showed a strong preference for toys with wheels rather than soft toys, while the females were noticeably drawn to soft toys. These preferences were clearly not the result of parental influence.
Whatever the truth behind the differences between men and women, we can safely conclude that although the social impact on how we think and behave is undeniable, there exists a biological contribution. The question that now needs answering is to what extent biology affects the choices we make and the way other people treat us.
32. The function of the first paragraph is ________.
A. to show how women are different from men.
B. to show how angry the wife is.
C. to lead in the topic of this passage.
D. to make the author’s argument clearer.
33. What does the underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph mean
A. Females and males are biologically different.
B. Females become different from males in many aspects.
C. Scientists’ opinions vary about how females and males differ.
D. Social impact leads to the difference between females and males.
34. The study of monkeys proves that ________.
A. males and females are born different.
B. males and females are influenced by their parents and peers.
C. monkeys, like human beings, have their own characteristics.
D. monkeys of different sexes have different preferences.
35. What will most probably be talked about to follow the last paragraph
A. What causes the differences between men and women.
B. How men and women are biologically different.
C. Why males and females are different.
D. Where the differences between males and females take place.

A Helping Hand
I spent most of my teenage years in an old farmhouse in the Durham County countryside. That was more than 30 years ago, but life there dated back to an even earlier era. I spent my summer days doing manual labor in the tobacco fields, while my summer evenings were spent preparing vegetables in the backyard. My fall weekends were often spent cutting wood and storing logs for the fire. Living where we did, we could see three or four other houses from our own, none of them within shouting distance. We knew our neighbors, most of whom were elderly. We usually offered our kindness when they needed help.
Jimmy lived across the street, on the far side of a tobacco field. He was seventy years old and lived alone. He lost his wife two years ago. He had barely supported himself these last couple of years since his health had gotten worse. One day, we went to visit him at his home. It was a small wooden house with dirty windows and a curtain that had been mended several times. The poor old man would sit in an armchair by the window, holding a faded photo, and with tears in his eyes, recall happy memories of his wife.
One weekend, my father went to check on Jimmy, but a rare heavy snow happened to fall. It was so heavy that he couldn’t get his old truck up Jimmy’s uneven (不平坦的), snow-covered road. Nobody could understand what made Dad climb the 400 yards or so to Jimmy's house. My brother and I were waiting anxiously at home. After a long time, he rushed home and told us that Jimmy was sick and had no firewood left.
My father asked us if we would like to help. We all nodded our heads willingly, but my brother was secretly worried. He asked my father how we could help. Although we could meet Jimmy's needs for things like food and firewood, my father held the belief that the loss of his wife made Jimmy unhappy, and wanted to offer Jimmy a moment of joy. We left the house and walked across the snow-covered fields. Our footprints went deep into the snow, only to disappear as the snow continued to fall. We headed across the field, aiming for Jimmy's house.
注意：
1．词数80左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We knocked on Jimmy’s door, and he greeted us. ___________________________________

主题：关爱需要帮助的邻居。文章讲述七十岁的邻居Jimmy在两年前丧偶后独居，他的健康状况在恶化，在一个雪天父亲带我们去拜访并帮助这位老人的暖心故事。
环境：老人家中。根据提示，续写的故事发生的地点是老人家里。

情感 -------- -------- -------- Jimmy不开心 ？ ？
参考答案：We knocked on Jimmy's door, and he greeted us. Jimmy appeared calm in the face of the dangerous snowstorm. However, we could see that his spirits were low due to sickness. We lit a fire to try to get some warmth into the house. We sat down and had a long meaningful conversation with Jimmy. At first, he frowned, but then his face slowly broke into a smile. He was happy that his neighbors cared about his well-being, and said having us over for company was the best gift he received. I felt so proud of having a dad like this, kind-hearted and always ready to lend a helping hand. 注意神态描写，灵活使用动词，刻画Jimmy的神情变化。
话题写作 （15分/ 篇）
Dear Curie,
How are you recently I’m more than excited to know that you are learning Chinese. I can imagine the difficulty you have learning such a demanding language.
It is really a challenge for you to learn Chinese not only because of a large vocabulary but also its confusing spellings and tones. What’s more, the grammar is completely different from English. Despite these barriers, you can find Chinese worth your exploration, and you can make improvement if you carry it on for a few months. As for my suggestions, to find a Chinese pen-pal will help you to put what you have just learned into use. Watching a Chinese TV program regularly is also of much benefit.
I hope you will overcome your problems and make progress soon.

W: Really I thought Barcelona was going to win. They are a much better team than Madrid.
M: If Barcelona had played as they normally do, they would have won.
W: What happened
M: Their goalkeeper got injured after the first goal, but he kept on playing anyway.
W: That explains it. It’s a pity I missed it. How many more games are left this season
M: Four. The next game starts in a few weeks. Do you want to come over and watch the next game at my place I’ll planning on having a few people over to watch it together.
W: Sure, that would be great.

M: Mum, I haven’t got anything to do.
W: Well, Sam, it’s snowing heavily, so you can’t go outside in such cold weather.
M: No.
W: What I don’t understand is why you haven’t got more hobbies—your friends seem to have lots of different things they like doing, don’t they
M: That’s not... well, anyway, they’re just things you do inside, you know, collecting stamps, I mean so boring, or like computer games. I’m just not interested in that kind of thing.
W: Yes, well, I do understand that, but actually I’m quite pleased about the computer games. There’s table tennis: now, you can play that indoors. And you are great at that, aren’t you
M: Oh Mum, I used to be, but now I’m completely out of practice. I’d lose to anyone.
W: So maybe you should go and get some practice.
【Text 9】
M: Hey, is that you Joan I can’t believe it!
W: Johnson! I haven’t seen you for ages. It’s so good to run into you like this!
M: That’s for sure! So, what are you doing these days Are you still going to the health club
W: Not any more. We’ve moved to Eastgate.
M: Eastgate! That’s twenty kilometres from here!
W: Yeah, I know. So I’ve got a long drive to work these days. But we bought a really big house with a nice garden.
M: Great! You’re a landscape gardener, aren’t you So you’d be working much more in the summer.
W: Uh huh. But actually I’ve been working as a city planner for the last year or so.
M: Oh... Why did you change jobs
W: Well... Two years ago I was working so hard that I never had any time to be with my kids. They were growing up really quickly, but I was always driving around from one project to the next. So I was hardly ever spending time at home.
M: Well, it’s better now, I expect. You’re working for the city, I suppose.
W: You mean in the planning department No, actually I’m running my own company.
【Text 10】
W: This is the 6 o’clock news for Tuesday 25 November. And first the headlines：
The government has promised to help the poor farmers in the northern part of the country who haven’t seen rain for nearly two years. And in Sydney a group of school children are successfully rescued from a plane which landed in the sea shortly after takeoff. Transport workers are on strike in Melbourne asking for a pay raise. And the strike may spread to other states.
Now let’s focus on the school children. They were travelling in a plane from Sydney to Queensland to take part in a musical concert. They found themselves swimming for the shore when their plane had to land in the sea just three minutes after taking off from Sydney Airport. The pilot managed to bring the aircraft and its 50 passengers down safely in the calm waters of Botany Bay where boats were able to come to the rescue of the children. It was a weekend, and there were hundreds of boats in the bay enjoying the good weather. This undoubtedly helped the rescue operation. The children said they owed their lives to the skill of the pilot. But the pilot replied modestly that it was all part of a day’s work. However, all their musical instruments were lost and they never got to play at their concert.

At 1:43 a.m., Bertozzi was awakened by a phone call from a Nobel committee representative
who, revealing the significant news, told her, “You have 50 minutes to collect yourself and wait until your life changes.”
Instructed not to share the announcement outside of her tightest inner circle, the first person
Bertozzi called was her father, William Bertozzi, a retired physics professor from MIT. “He’s 91 and, of course, he was just overjoyed,” said Bertozzi. “And then he called my sisters for me. One of my sisters and my dad watched it live.”
Bertozzi was recognized for founding the field of biorthogonal chemistry, a set of chemical reactions that allow researchers to study molecules (分子) and their interactions in living things without involving natural biological processes, Bertozzi’s lab has been using the new methods to answer basic questions about the role of sugars in biology, to solve practical problems, such as developing better tests for infectious diseases, and to create a new medicine that can better target tumors (肿瘤).
“I could not be more delighted that Bertozzi has won the Nobel Prize in chemistry,” said Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne. “In pioneering the field of biorthogonal chemistry, Bertozzi invented a new way of studying biomolecular processes, one that has helped scientists around the world gain deeper understanding of chemical reactions in living systems. Being a crown
jewel in chemistry, her work has had outstanding real-world impact. The research achievements have been used to study how cells build proteins and other molecules, to develop new cancer medicines, and to produce new materials for energy storage, among many other applications.”
“They call and I’m not even awake ... Starbucks isn’t even open yet,” she exclaimed while in
her pajamas at her kitchen table. By 3 a.m., Bertozzi had nearly three dozen voicemails. “This is how it’s going to be all day. This is insane,” she said. “Maybe I should cancel meetings.”
Pausing between interviews about two hours later to check her messages, Bertozzi said, “My
family is already booking their flights to Stockholm. It’s amazing. Go back to sleep!”
24. Why was a call made to Bertozzi at midnight
A. To warn her of some emergency. B. To prepare for a meeting.
C. To inform her of winning the prize. D. To collect things to visit her relatives.
25. What does Bertozzi’s lab use the new methods to do
A. Develop a new drug for cancer. B. Produce more nutritious sugars.
C. Separate biology from chemistry. D. Find cures for infectious diseases.
26. What does the underlined part “a crown jewel” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The king’s treasure. B. The universal focus.
C. The most complex part. D. The most valuable breakthrough.
27. What kind of person is Bertozzi
A. Courageous and quiet. B. Creative and generous.
C. Pioneering and humorous. D. Wise and hard-working.
C
It’s really a challenge for people to find consistent motivation to exercise regularly. Wishing not to hit gyms, you can invent tons of excuses. However, out of most people’s expectation, a certain amount of physical exercise every week can stop your IQ from declining.
IQ, to a large degree, is determined by genes. It has long been established that genes account for about 70 percent of IQ. And environmental factors, like diet, quality of education and brain stimulation, affect the other 30 percent.
IQ can be put into two types --- “fluid” and “crystallized” intelligence. The former refers to the ability to reason and think flexibly, while the latter refers to the build-up of knowledge, facts, and skills that are acquired throughout life. The two have a dynamic relationship: fluid IQ decides how much information you can take in and how fast you can take it in, which means a higher fluid IQ contributes to your crystallized IQ. They keep growing until your early twenties, when they both reach the peak. Unfortunately, this will not keep the same for the rest of your life. Fluid intelligence declines rapidly with age.
What causes this decline It all comes down to your cardiovascular (心血管的) system. It calls for a large amount of oxygen for the brain to function well. The less exercise you have as you get old, the less oxygen your heart provides to supply your brain. Exercise also promotes the release of certain chemicals that are critical to the brain’s health, bringing about better concentration and memory.
Taking proper physical exercise can help to prevent IQ from declining as you get older. Why not choose to hit the gym for the sake of IQ intelligence
28. How is the second paragraph mainly developed
A. By making comparisons. B. By listing the numbers and data.
C. By explaining the reasons. D. By giving examples.
29. Which of the following is right according to this passage
A. Crystallized intelligence develops more slowly than Fluid intelligence.
B. Fluid intelligence is more important than Crystallized intelligence.
C. A lower fluid intelligence is not good for Crystallized intelligence.
D. Fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence increase with age.
30. What problem should be to blame for the decline of IQ intelligence
A. A mental disorder. B. A bad mood.
C. A lack of flexibility. D. A weak heart.
31. What’s the purpose of writing this passage
A. To persuade people to exercise.
B. To inform people of IQ intelligence.
C. To criticize those who are lazy.
D. To advertise for gyms.
D
Both Alice and Curie love traveling to other countries, and they came together for this hobby. Though they had been married for 5 years, their shared hobby is also a source of contention. “It is I who do all the planning and book,” says Alice. “Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy it, but if Curie cared a little more about it, he wouldn’t show up for a flight to Grenada packed for a winter break. ‘Jumpers and boots!’ I cried. ‘You’re supposed to have packed shorts and T-shirts ─ it’s 30℃ in the Caribbean!’ Then I realized he thought we were going to Granada, in Spain.
How Alice and Curie each deal with their travel plans is just an example of the many ways in which men and women differ. Yet, is what goes on inside our minds and bodies really so different Furthermore, are we born that way
Scientists are divided on this issue. The majority of them believed that patterns of behavior thought to be more male or female are learnt firstly from our parents, then from our peers and, ultimately, from the societies in which we live. As Simone de Beauvoir famously said, “one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”
However, some other scientists believed that male and female brains are actually wired differently. In one study in which 34 monkeys were required to interact with different types of toys, the males showed a strong preference for toys with wheels rather than soft toys, while the females were noticeably drawn to soft toys. These preferences were clearly not the result of parental influence.
Whatever the truth behind the differences between men and women, we can safely conclude that although the social impact on how we think and behave is undeniable, there exists a biological contribution. The question that now needs answering is to what extent biology affects the choices we make and the way other people treat us.
32. The function of the first paragraph is ________.
A. to show how women are different from men.
B. to show how angry the wife is.
C. to lead in the topic of this passage.
D. to make the author’s argument clearer.
33. What does the underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph mean
A. Females and males are biologically different.
B. Females become different from males in many aspects.
C. Scientists’ opinions vary about how females and males differ.
D. Social impact leads to the difference between females and males.
34. The study of monkeys proves that ________.
A. males and females are born different.
B. males and females are influenced by their parents and peers.
C. monkeys, like human beings, have their own characteristics.
D. monkeys of different sexes have different preferences.
35. What will most probably be talked about to follow the last paragraph
A. What causes the differences between men and women.
B. How men and women are biologically different.
C. Why males and females are different.
D. Where the differences between males and females take place.

I grew up in Lakeland, Louisiana, one of seven children. We all lived on my parents’ 41 .
At 12, I got a job, 42 cows to help support the family. I did this twice a day ─ at five in the morning and once again at two in the afternoon. One Saturday before daylight, I remember complaining to my father and grandfather about having to go and milk those cows. It was so 43 . “You know, boy, to work is a 44 ,” said my father.

A Helping Hand
I spent most of my teenage years in an old farmhouse in the Durham County countryside. That was more than 30 years ago, but life there dated back to an even earlier era. I spent my summer days doing manual labor in the tobacco fields, while my summer evenings were spent preparing vegetables in the backyard. My fall weekends were often spent cutting wood and storing logs for the fire. Living where we did, we could see three or four other houses from our own, none of them within shouting distance. We knew our neighbors, most of whom were elderly. We usually offered our kindness when they needed help.
Jimmy lived across the street, on the far side of a tobacco field. He was seventy years old and lived alone. He lost his wife two years ago. He had barely supported himself these last couple of years since his health had gotten worse. One day, we went to visit him at his home. It was a small wooden house with dirty windows and a curtain that had been mended several times. The poor old man would sit in an armchair by the window, holding a faded photo, and with tears in his eyes, recall happy memories of his wife.
One weekend, my father went to check on Jimmy, but a rare heavy snow happened to fall. It was so heavy that he couldn’t get his old truck up Jimmy’s uneven (不平坦的), snow-covered road. Nobody could understand what made Dad climb the 400 yards or so to Jimmy's house. My brother and I were waiting anxiously at home. After a long time, he rushed home and told us that Jimmy was sick and had no firewood left.
My father asked us if we would like to help. We all nodded our heads willingly, but my brother was secretly worried. He asked my father how we could help. Although we could meet Jimmy's needs for things like food and firewood, my father held the belief that the loss of his wife made Jimmy unhappy, and wanted to offer Jimmy a moment of joy. We left the house and walked across the snow-covered fields. Our footprints went deep into the snow, only to disappear as the snow continued to fall. We headed across the field, aiming for Jimmy's house.

故事解读：
主题：关爱需要帮助的邻居。文章讲述七十岁的邻居Jimmy在两年前丧偶后独居，他的健康状况在恶化，在一个雪天父亲带我们去拜访并帮助这位老人的暖心故事。
环境：老人家中。根据提示，续写的故事发生的地点是老人家里。
人物：我的父亲和Jimmy 是故事主要人物，我和我的兄弟是故事的次要人物。
原文通过描写父亲总在邻居需要的时候帮助他们，体现父亲乐善好施的性格特点。七十岁丧偶的邻居Jimmy是一个孤独寂寞、疾病缠身的老人，在续写部分可以通过对他的动作、神态、语言等进行描写来体现这一点。
情节 开端 发展 高潮 结局
我的青少年时光是在乡下的一个农舍里度过的。 我们的邻居大部分都年纪较大，我们在他们需要的时候提供帮忙。 邻居Jimmy是位失去妻子的独居老人。 我的父亲在一个寒冷的雪天去拜访Jimmy，发现他独自忍受着病痛的折磨。 我们给Jimmy带去食物和柴火，陪他谈心。 Jimmy在我们的陪伴下变得开心起来。
情感 -------- -------- -------- Jimmy不开心 ？ ？
参考答案：We knocked on Jimmy's door, and he greeted us. Jimmy appeared calm in the face of the dangerous snowstorm. However, we could see that his spirits were low due to sickness. We lit a fire to try to get some warmth into the house. We sat down and had a long meaningful conversation with Jimmy. At first, he frowned, but then his face slowly broke into a smile. He was happy that his neighbors cared about his well-being, and said having us over for company was the best gift he received. I felt so proud of having a dad like this, kind-hearted and always ready to lend a helping hand. 注意神态描写，灵活使用动词，刻画Jimmy的神情变化。

Dear Curie,
How are you recently I’m more than excited to know that you are learning Chinese. I can imagine the difficulty you have learning such a demanding language.
It is really a challenge for you to learn Chinese not only because of a large vocabulary but also its confusing spellings and tones. What’s more, the grammar is completely different from English. Despite these barriers, you can find Chinese worth your exploration, and you can make improvement if you carry it on for a few months. As for my suggestions, to find a Chinese pen-pal will help you to put what you have just learned into use. Watching a Chinese TV program regularly is also of much benefit.
I hope you will overcome your problems and make progress soon.

W: This is the 6 o’clock news for Tuesday 25 November. And first the headlines：
The government has promised to help the poor farmers in the northern part of the country who haven’t seen rain for nearly two years. And in Sydney a group of school children are successfully rescued from a plane which landed in the sea shortly after takeoff. Transport workers are on strike in Melbourne asking for a pay raise. And the strike may spread to other states.
Now let’s focus on the school children. They were travelling in a plane from Sydney to Queensland to take part in a musical concert. They found themselves swimming for the shore when their plane had to land in the sea just three minutes after taking off from Sydney Airport. The pilot managed to bring the aircraft and its 50 passengers down safely in the calm waters of Botany Bay where boats were able to come to the rescue of the children. It was a weekend, and there were hundreds of boats in the bay enjoying the good weather. This undoubtedly helped the rescue operation. The children said they owed their lives to the skill of the pilot. But the pilot replied modestly that it was all part of a day’s work. However, all their musical instruments were lost and they never got to play at their concert.
