Rebecca Williams,from Australia,has been doing dubbing(配音) work in Beijing. When she was very young, she would unconsciously imitate(不自觉地模仿) other people’s voices, not to make fun of them, but more out of habit. “So my voice has always been very fluid,depending on who I'm talking to,” she said. She never expected this habit to land her a dubbing job in China in the future.
At 18, Williams was an exchange student at the University of the Nations in Hawaii, the US. Like most new adults, she was thinking about what to do with her life. Then, a group of exchange students from China visited the school. “They were sharing everyday life in China. As they were talking, something inside me got lit on fire,” she said. At that time, she realized her future would lie in China.
After graduation, Williams came to China and got into dubbing by chance. At this point, she has dubbed for nearly 100 English teaching films, TV shows and movies. Williams has cooperated with the Star Times. The Star Times has a TV network in more than 30 African countries. Most of the TV shows she has dubbed are shown in Africa. “I think it's a really great way to bridge cultures, to allow people abroad to watch some of the plays that Chinese people watch, and have a better understanding of Chinese life, but in a language they can understand,” Williams said.
Williams has lived in China for many years. She used to visit Australia once every two years. And thanks to advanced mobile networks, she can just pick up her phone and talk with her family whenever they feel like it. “That helps me a lot.” Williams said.
Williams has felt more and more at home in China and she sees China as her second home.
What does the underlined word “fluid” in the first paragraph probably mean
Clear. B. Strong. C. Cheerful. D. Changeable.
How did Williams feel while the students from China shared everyday life in China

A. It requires a set of skills. B. It requires more teamwork.
C. It is attractive to foreigners. D. It is good for cultural exchanges
7. What is talked about Williams in paragraph 4
A. Her connection with her family. B. Her plans for the next few years.
C. Her best wishes to her hometown. D. Her addiction to the mobile phone.

Our house was across the street from a hospital. We rented the upstairs rooms to outpatients(门诊病人) at the clinic. One summer evening as I was preparing supper, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly awful looking man hardly taller than my eight-year-old daughter.
But the frightening thing was his swollen face. He told me he'd been hunting for a room since noon but no one seemed to offer. For a moment I hesitated, but his next words convinced me, "I could sleep on the porch(门廊). My bus leaves early in the morning." Having let him in, I went inside and asked him to join us for supper. But he politely refused. When I had finished the dishes, I went out to talk with him for a few minutes.
He told me he fished for a living to support his daughter's family. He didn't tell it by way of complaint. In fact, he was thankful that no pain accompanied his disease. He thanked life for giving him the strength to keep going.
At bedtime, we put a small camp bed in the children's room for him. When I got up in the morning, the bed linens(床单) were neatly folded and the little man was out on the porch. He refused breakfast, but just before he left, he smiled, "Your children made me feel at home. Grownups are bothered by my face, but children don't seem to mind." I told him he was welcome to come again.
In the years he came to stay overnight with us, there was never a time that he did not bring us fish or vegetables. Other times we received packages. Knowing how far he must walk to mail these and how little money he had made the gifts more precious. I know our family always will be thankful to have known him.

If you struggle to fall asleep quickly, you're not alone! Fortunately, there are plenty of solutions you can try. With a few changes, you can fall asleep fast every night!
Keep your room dark. Turn off all the lights above your head when you go to bed. Any bright light can make you believe it is too early in the day for sleep. If you want to read or write before bed,try using a table lamp. Now that blue lights can keep you awake, red ones are a great choice.
If you can,keep noise in and around your room the lowest at night. If you have an old clock that ticks loudly and keeps you awake, replace it with a silent one. If you share your home with anyone else, request that they keep noises like talking, music, or TV shows at the lowest while you are trying to sleep. It is difficult to fall asleep if you live near a busy road or hear other boring sounds after bedtime. You could get a white noise machine or play recordings of nature sounds, like waves or whales' singing. You could also listen to soft, relaxing music.
Read a book in bed if you have difficulty in falling asleep. Staying in bed doing nothing when you're having trouble falling asleep may keep you wide awake. Generally, reading in bed is harmful to your eyes, but it can distract you from your thoughts and help you feel sleepy as well.
Lowering your body temperature helps you sleep, so setting the room temperature between 15.5 °C and 21 °C bould do the trick.
What is the author's attitude towards reading in bed
Objective. B. Worried. C. Uncaring. D. Negative.
13. What can we infer from the text
A. Listening to rock music can help you fall asleep.
B. The lower your room temperature, the better for sleep.
C. Blue lights are better for your reading before going to bed.
D. Listening to the sound of the waves can improve your sleep.
14. How does the author organise the text
A. By giving examples. B. By asking questions.
C. By offering suggestions. D. By listing research results.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
How to Sleep Well B. How to Fall Asleep Fast
C.What to Do Before Sleep D. What to Do to Keep Awake
