When I was a small boy, my family was very poor. I did not have a chance to read or write like other kids, but I learned how to grow crops and sell vegetables. I got lots of 1 from these experiences, but I still didn't know how to read or write. 2 I grew older, I knew that I must do something to get some education.
I went to the city to look for a job. There I first 3 Mr Brown, the owner of a restaurant. After knowing my dream, he said he would give me $30 a week, and that he would help find a teacher to teach me. Then I started to learn to read and write. When I was 22 years old, I felt better about myself 4 I could read and write. And I believed I could make more dreams come true.
It's always not5to make your dream come true, but it does not mean you can't make it. What should you do? Just work hard for your dream. As time goes by, you will see the6in your life. Remember, it is never too7to start. Don't miss any chance to make your dream come true.
You might have heard the age-old saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", but a new study shows that taking and sharing a photo a day might also bring some health benefits(好处).
The study is carried out by UK scientists from Lancaster University and the University of Sheffield. The results show that people who take part in "a-photo-a-day" activity feel 1 in their well—being.
A group of people —aged between twenty and sixty— took part in the 2. The scientists took notes of those people's photos, their words under the photos, and the online talks they had with other photo lovers every day. The last part of the study was a phone talk. Each person talk about their stories 3 being part of the study.
These practices 4 a simple way of making a good change and getting into the habit of doing something new. Just as one said, "It's really good to take that five minutes every day to do something 5 and different. It gives me something to look for and I 6 doing so." The scientists say this activity has the same results to other daily practices such as running and drawing.
On the social side, people keep in touch with family and friends 7 they talk about the photos. Taking a photo also leads to other activities, such as walking and looking, which make people go out of the houses sometimes and think about life and the world. "I do not feel 8 any more when taking photos," another person said.
Dear sir /madam,
I'm writing to tell you about my recent holiday in Paris. You told us that the price includes four nights in a five-star hotel, which was clearly not. There were only two small beds, so our son had to sleep on the floor. There were not any clean towels（毛巾） in the bathroom and there were too many insects（昆虫）all over the place. There was really a view （风景）from the bedroom window—but it was a view of a motorway and the airport. There was noise all night and we couldn't sleep. There were no drinks included in the breakfast, and we had to pay extra for milk! We demand（要求）a refund (退款)!
Yours faithfully,
Mr & Mrs Masterson
Dear Mrs. Dryden,
Three weeks ago, I booked a flight to new York with your airline and asked for vegetarian food (素食). However, when I was on the plane, I found there was none. What worse, there was a snow storm in New York, so the plane landed in Washington. The total flight time was over 15 hours and there was nothing for me to eat! Thankfully, my holiday in New York was great, and there was vegetarian food on my flight back to London. But please make sure that there is vegetarian food on all future flights.
Yours sincerely,
Brian Smethurst
Dear sir /madam,
My friends and I have just returned from our summer holiday in Italy. We rented (租) a villa(别墅) from your company for two weeks and we were really excited about it. According to your brochure(广告手册), there were four bedrooms in the villa and there was a large swimming pool in the garden. However, when we arrived your representative（销售代表）, Paolo, told us that our villa wasn't available（可用的）because another family was already there. Then, Paolo took us to another villa, but it was much smaller. There were only three bedrooms and there wasn't even a swimming pool! It was a disaster（灾难）! We demand a refund!
Yours faithfully,
Marion Kent
Primary and middle school students in Shandong can't use mobile phones or tablets(平板电脑) in classrooms. It started from November 2018, according to a regulation(法规). This is to protect students' eyes.
The regulation calls on schools to keep such things for the students during school time if they bring them to school. It asks teachers not to depend on electronic devices(电子设备) when teaching or giving homework. Parents should also watch the time their children spend on electronic devices.
More than 40 percent (百分比) of primary and middle school students in Shandong were glasses. People believe the government, schools, parents and students can work together to cut down on the number in the future. Wang Jing, the mother of two primary school students in Qingdao, welcomes the plan. "Young children are easily addicted to(沉迷) electronic devices and it will hurt their health and school grades," she says.
Shandong isn't the only one to take action. A regulation came out last May in Jiangsu. It asked children not to bring mobile phones to class. And there is good news: a UK study finds that students do better when they can't get hold of a phone at school.
From November 1st to December 10th in 2020, China started its seventh national population census（人口普查）. 7 million census takers have asked each family about their name, gender（性别）, age, education, employment （职业）and so on. This census is different from the ones in the past. For the first time, people can use smartphones and other digital tools to record their information.
China has a national population census every ten years. The first one was done in1953. At that time, there were about 600 million people in China. But China's population has boomed. It was about 1.37 billion in 2010.
The 2020's national population census include all residents(居民) of China. But Chinese citizens who had settled（定居）abroad and foreign citizens who were staying in China on either business or tourist visas(签证) were not counted.
"The census is very important for every citizen," said Ning Jizhe, director of the NBS. "It will help improve infrastructure(基础建设) and public services." For example, if census results show that there are many children living in a particular area, the government will know that it should build more school there.
A. Don't make yourself and others in danger.
B. It's difficult for them to do reading in the past.
C. For some people, it's boring to cook.
D. But we can do some reading by ears too.
E. This would be the perfect time to do some audio reading.
When we talk about reading, we probably think of eyes, because we do the reading by eyes. . And with the development of smart phones, it's getting easier and easier to do some reading by ears — by listening to news, novels and so on. This is audio reading（有声阅读）. We can do audio reading in many places
Many people like doing audio reading in bed, before going to sleep. They like to just lie in bed in the darkness before they fall asleep. . If you read an ordinary book, the lights have to be turned on and you have to turn the pages with your hand.
Some other people would like to do audio reading in the kitchen. . So they can enjoy their time by listening to news or stories. For some others, it's interesting to cook by listening to instructions made by famous cooks.
Audio reading is a favorite while a person is exercising. It allows the mind to be free while the legs, body and arms are kept busy. But be careful. . Let's take driving for example. If you pay much attention to listening, you can't be a good driver.
Finally, audio reading is helpful for blind people. . But now, they can do some audio reading easily.
