This summer, Liu Hongcan, a 30-year-old Chongqing woman, had to say goodbye to her daughter again. She sent her little girl to Guizhou province to stay with her daughter’s grandparents for the summer vacation ______________ in Chongqing.
A list of “hottest cities” in China came out last month. Chongqing is No.1 on the list. Fuzhou and Hangzhou take the second and third place.
The list is based on a “heat index”(熱指數(shù)).It uses temperature and humidity date(濕度數(shù)據(jù))1981 to 2011.The scientists tried to learn how hot the weather was over a period of time, and find out how people feel.

C
There are 5 channels on British television and each channel has several news programs all day long. Some programs are only for 3 minutes but some are one hour long. The people who read the news are called news presenters and because they appear on television every day, they are very famous.
This is a popular news presenter in England called Trevor McDonald, in the news studio. He presents a program called “News at Ten”every Monday to Friday evenings.
Another popular news presenter is Kirsty Young. She has a more modern style of reading the news, as you can see, she sits on the desk not on a chair!
Television news presenters need to have worked as journalists because they have to write most of the news that they read. Sometimes an important new event happens after the program has started, so the presenter has to be able to read something without looking at it first. They must always keep calm even when there are many changes during the program. At the end of “News at Ten”Trevor McDonald says “And finally...”. Then he reads an unusual or interesting item. It’s a famous saying in England now.
小題1:Who sits on the desk to read the news?
A．Kirsty Young.B．Trevor McDonald.
C．All the news presenters.D．Some journalists
