Babbel：Learn Languages
Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step with learning a new language. It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments. You need to pay a monthly subscription (订阅费)，but this will still be cheaper than taking physical lessons with a tutor!
Duolingo：Learn Languages for Free
The app has many languages to choose from and will work through the basics all the way to advanced words and sentences. It’s all completely free too! It’s incredibly well designed，looks great and will help you learn，remember and progress with just a little bit of time every day.
Tandem：Language Exchange
Rather than have you work through tasks and memorize different things，the app lets you match with people who share your interests but speak the language you want to learn. You can then have text，voice and video conversations with people who want to learn your native language, and in return you learn theirs，all by simply communicating with each other. It’s a great way to learn with only $1 a day.

【推荐3】American Express Gold: Best "non-travel" travel card
Why it's great in one sentence: The American Express Gold card earns tons of valuable Amex travel points on practically all the food-related purchases you're making even when you' re not traveling, and the credits available on the card nearly offset (抵消) its annual fee.
This card is right for: People who can use all of the card's various credits and who spend significant money at restaurants, on food delivery services or at U.S. supermarkets while they' re not on the road.
Highlights:
First, with the Amex Gold, you'll earn 4 points for every dollar you spend on restaurants worldwide, and on up to $25,000 in annual purchases at U.S. supermarkets (1 point per dollar afterwards). Most food delivery services count as “restaurants" on this card, so that means the vast majority of your food purchases will earn 4x points, regardless of how you're eating.
You'll also earn 3 points per dollar when you book airfare directly with an airline, so if you're looking to jump on any sales for flights later in the year, you can pay for them with the Amex Gold and earn extra points on those as well.
The points earned on this card are American Express Membership Rewards points, which are extremely useful. You can redeem (兑取现金) them directly for flights via Amex Travel at 1 cent each, but if you put in some extra effort and research, you can potentially get much more value from them by transferring them to any of Amex's 21 airline and hotel partners, which include Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Marriott and many more.
1. What can we know about the American Express Gold card?| A．It requires very little annual fee. |
| B．It has a link with food purchases. |
| C．It is targeted at delivery services. |
| D．It is right for restaurant managers. |
| A．100,000. | B．100,800. | C．103,200. | D．400,000. |
