On a later summer evening, my father and I was walking happily home. We have just had a big meal in a restaurant near our home. As we were walking slowly down the street, I asked my father in a low voice, "What does the word 'drunk' mean?" "That's easily, boy," said my father. "Do you see these two policemen over there? If I look at them, I see four instead two, and I'm drunk. Understand?" Hearing at this, I pretended to be puzzled, and said, "My God, and there are six policemen over there. Can't you see?" My father looked at me in great surprised. "You are really drink, son."

Good afternoon, everyone!

The topic of my speech today is “Being a good partner.”

Wish my views would be helpful. Thank you for your listening!

In a touching story, a family was shocked to find that a stranger had secretly paid for more than half of their Christmas gifts.

When Ayers went to make a payment toward the $283 balance for her family’s Christmas gifts at Walmart, her money was refused. According to a Walmart employee, a woman had paid a part of Ayers’ bill after seeing her shopping in the store. The unknown woman also left Ayers a touching note, which left the mother of two in tears.

Ayers, whose sons are 11 and 3, says the stranger’s great generosity came at the perfect time for her family. Before the anonymous payment was made, Ayers had worried she would not be able to get her kids’ toys in time for Christmas.

Ayers is still looking for the woman who helped pay for their Christmas gifts for her kids. She took a picture of her receipt with the headline: This stranger paid 4 gifts for us. I wish I could thank her for helping give our kids a Merry Christmas!

For thousands of families like Ayers’, feeling this financial pressure around Christmastime is nothing new. These families who still have a roof over their heads and food on their tables often slip through the cracks — they can afford all the necessities, but the “extras” are harder to come by. Considering that Americans are estimated to spend $882 on Christmas gifts this year, it makes sense that a family with a few financial problems would have a hard time filling the stockings for their kids.

Realizing how common this Christmas problem really is makes Ayers’ story even more special. These random acts of kindness around the holidays, often from nameless strangers, can determine what a family’s Christmas looks like. Christmas may not be all about the material stuff, but for families, and especially for kids, it’s the little things that can make the biggest difference.

1.Why did the Walmart employee refuse Ayers’ money?

A. She was too poor to afford it.

B. Her money was not enough.

C. Someone had paid for her.

D. The charismas gifts were free.

2.Why is Ayers still looking for the nameless woman?

A. To say thanks to her.

B. To pay her money back.

C. To praise her online.

D. To make friends with her.

3. Which of the following best describes families like Ayers’?

A. They value Christmas very much.

B. They try their best to buy kids gifts.

C. They hate to spend Christmas.

D. They live from hand to mouth.

4.What’s the author’s attitude towards the acts of kindness?

A. Praiseful. B. Helpful.

C. Troublesome. D. Useless.

NASA on September 28, 2015 announced the strongest evidence yet for liquid water on the red planet, increasing the possibility that astronauts journeying to Mars could someday rely on the planet's own water for their drinking needs.

You may feel like you've heard about the hunt for liquid water on Mars before—and the researchers involved know it may seem played out. But science has yet to truly prove that water flows on Mars once and for all, and doing so could completely change the way we view the planet. This new data is a big step in the right direction.

"Liquid water is an attractive topic, and we like the thousandth time someone has discovered water on Mars," Lujendra Ojha, the Georgia Tech PhD candidate who led the research announced Monday, told The Post. But there's a good reason that liquid water is so "attractive": Mars is now the only planet in our solar system to show evidence of the stuff on its surface, other than our own. Other worlds have it in subsurface oceans, or scattered around as vapor in the atmosphere. But Mars is the only place where we have solid evidence for liquid that sits right there in the open air. While it would be a major leap to suggest that Mars might harbor life—even microbial life—liquid water at least makes it possible that parts of the planet are habitable.

The study builds on research from April, when scientists using data from the Curiosity rover noted that the planet had the seasonal potential for liquid water. We know that because of the extremely low pressure on Mars, water has a boiling point of just a few degrees Celsius, after which it evaporates. The April study noted the presence of perchlorates (高氯酸鹽) —a kind of salt—which could make the boiling point of Mars' water much higher, theoretically allowing it to remain liquid. They affirmed that the planet's temperature would be right for liquid, perchlorate-filled water to form every day during winter and spring.

1.What does the Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

A. The significance of the discovery.

B. The doubt of the discovery.

C. The difficulty of the discovery.

D. The expense of the discovery.

2.The underlined words "our own" in Paragraph 3 refer to ________.

A. Mars

B. the earth

C. liquid water

D. the solar system

3. What plays an important role in making Mars' water in the state of liquid?

A. The thick atmosphere around Mars.

B. The physical structure of Mars.

C. The extremely low pressure on Mars.

D. Perchlorates in Mar's water.

4. The best title for the passage can be "________".

A. Water on Mars could be used for dringking

B. There might be some kinds of life on Mars

C. NASA would send astronauts to journey to Mars

D. NASA confirms the best-ever evidence for water on Mars

Soft winds blew throughout the Windy City today. We welcomed the winds, as it was another hot day in Chicago. The wind blew, bringing us some coolness and making the weather not that hot. But it was a beautiful summer day with a blue sky.

Chicago is a great city for eating, and we have enjoyed tasting the different foods. Last night, we tried one of the city's most famous foods: deep-dish pizza. Chicago claims credit for the rich and cheesy thick-crust pizza, covered with a sweet tomato sauce. We topped it with olives and green peppers.

We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods. Today, we enjoyed a Polish specialty at lunch: Pierogis, an Eastern European dumpling-like dish, filled with foods like potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, cabbage and meat. Polish immigrants started settling in Chicago in the 1850s, and the city has one of the largest Polish communities in the U.S.

We took a break from exploring the city to talk with some of you! Ashley and Caty logged onto the Internet for an on-the-road version of TALK2US. We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan, and a graduate student in India.

Meanwhile, Adam searched for some locations around the city to shoot some video. He chose a spectacular spot: Navy Pier, Chicago's most-visited attraction. The winds from Lake Michigan keep visitors cool, and the view of the Chicago skyline never fails to impress. In fact, the view made all of us head over heels!

Our time in Chicago has come to an end. Tomorrow, the true journey begins, as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri via Route 66. Springfield, the home of Abe Lincoln, and St. Louis, the "gateway to the West," wait for us.

1.Why did the author and her companions like the soft winds?

A. It brought warmth to them.

B. It made them feel comfortable.

C. It improved the quality of the air.

D. It left the sky blue and beautiful.

2. What did the author and her companions mainly do in Chicago?

A. They explored for foreign customs.

B. They visited Polish communities.

C. They studied the history of the city.

D. They enjoyed famous local foods.

3.The author and her companions stayed online ________.

A. communicating with strangers abroad

B. asking for information on foreign foods

C. sharing their travel plan with strangers

D. learning about different cultures in the world

4.The underlined part “head over heels” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ________.

A. boredB. relaxedC. FascinatedD. Disappointed

There's a huge power in knowing how to make adjustments in life. In fact, it's possible to turn failure into success by making the right adjustments. 1. And on the other hand we call people who refuse or neglect to make adjustments sad, frustrated or confused.

Here are 3 simple but powerful tips to help you make effective life adjustments when faced with the 3 C's or changes, challenges and choices.

Learn to think with your eyes and ears.

Most people see but few people know how to observe. The difference between seeing and observing is like the difference between reading and studying. The same goes with listening. It only requires ears to hear, but it often takes awareness and thought to listen. One factor in helping you to listen better is to hear not only what people say but what they don't say. 3. All these play an effective role in helping you to think with your eyes and ears.

4.

The people who learn to make the best life adjustments cultivate the habit of going with the flow. For example, they refuse to sweat the small stuff, they remain flexible to life changes. The best way to do that is to trust your instincts (直覺). The more you do that the more they will work for you. Be prepared for changes, challenges and choices.

If you can keep an attitude of preparation you'll have the best chance of making effective life adjustments. What kind? The kind that can see you through problems, setbacks and challenges. As the saying goes, “ 5. ”. That's the best advice for anyone who wants to make the best life adjustments and win!

B. You shouldn't just listen to what pleases you.

C. If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready.

D. We call people who have the ability to make the best life adjustments happy.

On December 10th last year, we paid a visit to a high-tech agricultural garden. It took us one and a half hour to get there. The naturally environment there was very pleased, and we could breathe fresh air. The intelligent glass greenhouse, where many kinds of fruits and vegetables were growing there, was really amazing. Because it was very cold outside, the greenhouse controlling by a computer could provide a proper temperature. That was also very interesting to see so many colorful fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse which we have never seen before. Luckily, we allowed to taste some of the fruits and vegetables. We really had a good time and learned a lot over the visit.
