Someone ordered 50 cups of warm porridge (粥) through Meituan App and noted “Please give the porridge to those cleaners who are clearing snow on the road nearby and those delivery (递送) men who are delivering food.” When the porridge shop owner received the order, he was moved by the note and provided 60 cups.
The story didn’t end here. As soon as the food delivery man got the big order, he shared it with his workmates so that they could also get paid. Finally, Meituan returned the money to the porridge buyer, Mr. Zhang and gave him a reward of ¥500. Although he had to raise his newborn baby and pay for his house every month, Mr. Zhang said he would surely continue delivering love.
The kind help also encouraged many other citizens in Kaifeng. This summer, volunteers are sending cool drinks every day.
Similar stories have happened in many other places in China. Outdoor workers in different cities are able to enjoy free and caring help. Lots of “love posts” are providing “coolness” in hot summer and “warmth” in cold winter. Just as a citizen of Kaifeng said, “I feel deeply moved and warm in my heart.”
In fact, we get love and give love every day. Love makes our life better and more beautiful.

56.What did the delivery man do when he got the big order
57.Was Mr. Zhang rich

Some experts believe it is helpful to our brains to write with pen and paper. This is especially true for students. It is because typing notes into a computer doesn’t have enough feedback(反馈) to the brain. However, writing with pen and paper does.
According to BBC Work life website, when taking notes by hand, our brains take part in summarizing, organizing and words building. In other words, it helps train our brains. And handwriting may do good to fine skills in our hands and fingers.
Besides, writing down notes, shopping lists, or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful in our daily lives. A handwritten letter to a friend or loved one may be more meaningful.
Katherine Moller, a writer, told the BBC, “In a world where it is so easy to go online to send an email or a fast text, it is so personal and joyful to read a letter from others, because they choose to spend some time with you.”

A.Because it may give enough feedback to the brain.

八、阅读回答问题
This is such a heart-warming piece of news in the cold winter. Some days ago, the temperature was only -6℃ in Kaifeng, Henan. Someone ordered 50 cups of warm porridge (粥) through Meituan App and noted “Please give the porridge to those cleaners who are clearing snow on the road nearby and those delivery (递送) men who are delivering food.” When the porridge shop owner received the order, he was moved by the note and provided 60 cups.
The story didn’t end here. As soon as the food delivery man got the big order, he shared it with his workmates so that they could also get paid. Finally, Meituan returned the money to the porridge buyer, Mr. Zhang and gave him a reward of ¥500. Although he had to raise his newborn baby and pay for his house every month, Mr. Zhang said he would surely continue delivering love.
The kind help also encouraged many other citizens in Kaifeng. This summer, volunteers are sending cool drinks every day.
Similar stories have happened in many other places in China. Outdoor workers in different cities are able to enjoy free and caring help. Lots of “love posts” are providing “coolness” in hot summer and “warmth” in cold winter. Just as a citizen of Kaifeng said, “I feel deeply moved and warm in my heart.”
In fact, we get love and give love every day. Love makes our life better and more beautiful.
