Val Thorens, France

In the tiny village of Angelica, New York, the post office is more than a place to get mail or send packages.There you'll find the heart of this lovely community.It's where villagers meet and greet friends.
When Angelica's post office was threatened with being closed in the 1980s, a villager, Pat, came up with a plan to save it.“At Christmas time I would hear on the news about towns named Snow or Bethlehem having celebrations，” says Pat.“Why couldn't we do the same thing with Angelica？”
Pat, who is an artist, created a postal cancellation (邮戳) design featuring an Angelica angel.She drew her angels in a traditional fashion and submitted her suggestion to the U．S. Postal Service.Once approved, the drawing was carved into a stamp cancellation that could be used for one day only.The postmistress (女邮局局长) then had another idea to make the day even more special — calling the post office Angel Station.
The large increase in mail amount saved Angelica's post office from being closed and keeps the doors open today.
Now it's tradition that on the first Friday in December, people come to Angelica to mail their Christmas cards.Each year the amount of mail going through the Angelica Post Office increases during late November and early December.Stamp collectors from around the world have accepted the Angel Station cancellation, some sending mail from as far away as France.
Because the stamp is destroyed each season, Pat draws a new angel that conveys season's greetings from Angel Station every year.Post offices may close in other parts of the country, but this tiny one continues.

A．She invented a new cancellation.
B．She hosted Christmas celebrations.

One Sunday Malachi Bradley was searching for wild mushrooms in eastern Utah when he realized he had wandered too far from the mountain lake where he was hiking with his father and siblings.
The 10?year?old boy tried looking for a road to flag down a driver, but the area about 200 miles east of Salt Lake City was too remote. He remembered the survival skills his father had taught him and eventually hunkered (蹲下) down between rocks still warm from the sun to protect himself from the cold mountain night.
“It was strange not having anybody with me, but I just kept going. I knew I had to make it back, or my family would be really sad，” Malachi said on Tuesday. Over the nearly 30 hours he was missing in the backcountry. He found river water to drink and even tried unsuccessfully to catch a fish with a spear made from a stick.
Meanwhile, dozens of search and rescue workers were searching the area on horses and ATVs (全地形车), as well as in the air, but they couldn't spot Malachi in the wooded area.
As night fell and temperature dropped, Malachi wrapped his T?shirt around his legs, huddled in his jacket and protected himself from the weather between the rocks. The remaining warmth helped him get through the night.
Back at Paul Lake, his father, Danny Bradley, and a friend who had joined them for the camping were keeping a fire burning, hoping the boy might wander back by himself. As the hours wore on, Bradley imagined his son alone in the woods and was terrified that he might be hurt.
The next day, Malachi heard a police helicopter flying overhead. He knew the searchers aboard the craft couldn't see him through the trees, so he started walking again until he found a clearing. He stayed there and briefly fell asleep until a search plane spotted him from the air and a helicopter landed to pick him up on Monday.
“Malachi was found about five miles southeast of where he went missing，” Uintah County Sheriff Vance Norton said. It appeared that he wandered down a deep and narrow valley and over a hill before he found the clearing.
Malachi said he would go camping again, but next time he would not get away from other people. “I've learned from my mistakes，” he said.
8．What did Malachi manage to do to survive?
A．Build a shelter on his own.
B．Catch a fish with a spear.
C．Stay between rocks at night.
D．Find a road to stop a passing car.
9．How could the plane spot Malachi?
A．He kept waving and shouting loudly.
B．He stood on the top of a rock.
C．He used his T?shirt to make a signal.
D．He stayed in an area without trees or bushes.
10．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．Danny Bradley kept a fire burning to let his son know the way back
B．Malachi Bradley was searching for some flowers when he got lost
C．Malachi always stayed where he went missing and waited for rescue
D．Malachi's teacher once taught him how to survive in a wilderness
11．What lesson does Malachi Bradley learn from the experience?
A．Be brave when in danger.
B．Stay close to others when camping.
C．Be cautious to take an adventure.
D．Believe in oneself when facing difficulties.
D
Fans of the movie Finding Nemo may remember the terrifying fish that scares Dory and Marlin at the bottom of a trench.
But in reality this “monster”， a black seadevil, is only about 9cm long, which would make it about a third of the size of Dory and potentially smaller than Marlin or Nemo.
While this inaccuracy may seem harmless, it could cause problems for future conservation efforts, as people are more likely to support conservation of adorable rather than scary?looking animals.
The black seadevil is just one of the mysterious “monsters”. From 2000－2010, scientists described about 1,200 new species in the Census of Marine Life.While this figure may seem astonishing, a further 5,000 individual dead creatures are in specimen (标本) jars, waiting to be described.
Specimens must be methodically collected, identified, and then the identity of new deep?water species must be confirmed.
If we call unusual deep?sea animals monsters, then we may harm their conservation as people are unlikely to be connected with them or care about saving them.
On the other hand, their rarity clearly makes them popular on social media sites.For other species, this has already resulted in increases in illegal trading for unusual pets.Deep?sea species may potentially become illegally obtained specimens of food.Humans may end up eating these animals of the deep sea to extinction before their species are even known to science.
Every habitat on earth is interconnected, and whatever we as humans do has an influence on marine ecosystems.In reality, about 80% of our oxygen is produced by microorganisms (微生物) in the oceans.This makes our oceans both the lungs and lifeblood of our planet and we must all try harder to save them.
12．What can we know about the black seadevil in reality?
A．People benefit greatly from the oxygen produced by it.
B．Its body size is a big threat to fish like Dory and Nemo.
C．Its scary appearance will cause problems for conservation.
D．People didn't know much about it when filming Finding Nemo.
13．What does the author think of the progress of describing new species?
A．Acceptable. B．Surprising.
C．Unsatisfying. D．Hopeless.
14．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 7 probably refer to?
A．Their popularity on social media sites.
B．Their rarity among sea creatures.
C．Their conservation being harmed.
D．Their importance being ignored.
15．What can we infer about those unusual sea animals?
A．They are the lungs and lifeblood of our planet.
B．Confirming their identity is very urgent for protection.
C．Most of them are becoming illegally obtained specimens.
D．Adorable ones are more likely to be posted on social media sites.

Dear Mr Smith，
There will be an exhibition of paintings from 25th to 30th this month in the Art Museum of our city. A lot of famous Chinese traditional paintings by top artists will be exhibited there. Additionally, there are great works from around the world, which, I think, will certainly attract visitors' eyes. What's more, we will see famous painters drawing on the spot. Would you like to go to the exhibition with me on the 25th? If so, I'll pick you up at your home at 8 o'clock in the morning. Please reply to me by e?mail as soon as possible.
