At present, many foreigners show great interest in learning Chinese idioms(成语). Terry and Kate are among them. Most Chinese idioms have four characters. For example, qingchuyulan(bluer than indigo), and houjibofa(success comes with time and effort). Terry and Kate are now reading stories behind the Chinese idioms they have learnt recently.

Emergency dispatchers(调度员) often receive calls that aren't, well, emergencies.
But something felt off to dispatcher Tim Teneyck of Oregon, Ohio, when a woman called to order a pizza on November 13. He told her she had the wrong number, only to quickly realize this had been no mistake on her part. In a recording of the call, we can hear them both on the line. “You called 911 to order a pizza？” Tim asked. “This is the wrong number to call for a pizza.” “No no, no … you're not understanding，” the woman said.
When the woman replied with her apartment information, everything became clear. She didn't want a pizza at all. She needed help. But she couldn't tell him that directly because she wasn't in a safe place.
While Tim has never received a call like hers in his 14 years of service, he understood her message. After a few more questions, he said, “I'm getting you now.” As it turned out, the woman was in an apartment with a man who was physically hurting her mother. She knew he would run away if he discovered she was calling 911, so she pretended to order a pizza instead. When_Tim_sent_officers_her_way,_he_had_

Oregon Police Chief Michael Navarre said they couldn't have helped this woman without Tim's help. He added that it was important for people in danger to “somehow or another express to the police dispatcher that they are in trouble, and this woman did that. She did that not with her words, but with the tone(语气) of her voice.” “Other dispatchers … told me they wouldn't have picked up on this，” Tim said.
Of course, the other hero is this clever woman who saved her mother by keeping a cool head. It couldn't have been easy in such a stressful situation, which just makes her braver!
7. Why did the woman call 911 to order a pizza
A. She tried to help Tim. B. She was quite hungry of help.
C. She made a wrong call. D. She was in great need of help.
8. The underlined sentence tells that Tim is such a ________ dispatcher.
A. creative B. curious C. careful D. confident

A. “No, he is asking me to order a pizza.”
B. “Yes, he is hurting my mother.”
C. “No, I need your help now.”
D. “Yes, I need a large pizza.”
10. What can we learn from the text

(2024徐州)Zhou Qi is a 17 year old student from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Last September he broke the Guinness(吉尼斯) World Record for the most single skips in one minute, with a result of 374. The record had stood unbroken for ten years. Daisuke Mimura from Japan held it with 348 skips in 2013.
Interestingly, Zhou's new record is not even his personal best. “My best performance was 396 times in one minute. That was done in the 2nd Primary and Secondary School Students' Rope Skipping Championship in 2020. My coach said I had already broken the world record. It was at that time that I made up my mind to apply for the Guinness World Record，” Zhou said.
However, the road to success was far from smooth. For years, Zhou practised with a special steel rope designed for competition. It's light and strong. But because of the rope he used, his first Guinness application was considered invalid(无效). After online communication with the records management team, Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized(认证) by the Guinness World Records. He soon got used to it.
Whatever kind of rope Zhou used, his strict training stood him in good sporting condition. Zhou has been in the school rope skipping team for seven years. He has jumped rope for about four hours each day. He would also run around the playground to improve his physical strength.
Now a high school student, Zhou said he'll put his studies first. But he won't stop training and still hopes to beat his own record one day.

Diligence_is_a_must_for_us_to_realize_our_dreams. I never realized it until I tried every effort to win the English speech competition last year.
It was quite a big challenge for me because I was not confident about my oral English and I was too shy to speak in public. To give a better performance, I made full use of my spare time to prepare for it. I recorded my lines and asked my foreign teacher to correct my pronunciation. Then I kept practising day and night. Besides, I seized every chance to speak in front of my family or friends. The more I practised, the more confident I became. In the end, I won the competition and got a prize. It was so great that all my efforts paid off. I felt so proud of myself.

(2024徐州)Zhou Qi is a 17 year old student from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Last September he broke the Guinness(吉尼斯) World Record for the most single skips in one minute, with a result of 374. The record had stood unbroken for ten years. Daisuke Mimura from Japan held it with 348 skips in 2013.
Interestingly, Zhou's new record is not even his personal best. “My best performance was 396 times in one minute. That was done in the 2nd Primary and Secondary School Students' Rope Skipping Championship in 2020. My coach said I had already broken the world record. It was at that time that I made up my mind to apply for the Guinness World Record，” Zhou said.
However, the road to success was far from smooth. For years, Zhou practised with a special steel rope designed for competition. It's light and strong. But because of the rope he used, his first Guinness application was considered invalid(无效). After online communication with the records management team, Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized(认证) by the Guinness World Records. He soon got used to it.
Whatever kind of rope Zhou used, his strict training stood him in good sporting condition. Zhou has been in the school rope skipping team for seven years. He has jumped rope for about four hours each day. He would also run around the playground to improve his physical strength.
Now a high school student, Zhou said he'll put his studies first. But he won't stop training and still hopes to beat his own record one day.

Diligence_is_a_must_for_us_to_realize_our_dreams. I never realized it until I tried every effort to win the English speech competition last year.
It was quite a big challenge for me because I was not confident about my oral English and I was too shy to speak in public. To give a better performance, I made full use of my spare time to prepare for it. I recorded my lines and asked my foreign teacher to correct my pronunciation. Then I kept practising day and night. Besides, I seized every chance to speak in front of my family or friends. The more I practised, the more confident I became. In the end, I won the competition and got a prize. It was so great that all my efforts paid off. I felt so proud of myself.
