【推荐1】Rich, heavy food is a major part of the end of the year holidays in the United States. People in the U. S. celebrate Thanksgiving on the third Thursday of November. People around the world celebrate Christmas on December 25. Both holidays involve(包含) traditions of cooking very large meals. The food at these meals usually has lots of sugar, salt, and butter in it. Turkey and pie are some of the most common foods in these holidays.
Terri Price has hosted a holiday party on the last Saturday before every Christmas for 30 years. It started when her children were very, very small. She has been preparing many of the dishes for most of the 30 years.
But over time, some traditions do change. The Neveldines are a family who hope to be healthier by changing what they eat. Mick Fury, the Neveldine’s oldest child, said this change is important during the holidays and the rest of the year, too.
Mick and his wife, Michelle, try to eat only organic food. Organic food is any plant or animal food product made without the use of unnatural chemicals or processes. But, Mick is not the only Neveldine who changed their diet. Felicia Neveldine, Mick’s sister, decided nine years ago to become a vegan. A vegan is a person who does not eat or use animal products of any kind.
Felicia became a vegan because of her concern for the treatment of animals and the environmental effects of animal farming. She said that her change in diet also improved her health.
Choosing these special diets means the Neveldines choose their foods carefully. Mick grows a garden behind his house where he gets fresh vegetables.
Holiday traditions may not change, but the way these traditions happen just might.

【推荐2】Coffee is an essential part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago, I have definitely drunk a lot of it!
Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar, you are presented with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is' normal coffee for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. In addition, while take-away coffee is extremely popular among the British, it is not very common at all in Italy, especially in non-touristy areas. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and,for many, this short break is an important part of their day.
Typically, breakfast in a bar in Italy involves a coffee and a pastry. I have been attracted by the lovely cafes in the Italian town I'm living in. These cafes sell all sorts of mouth-watering pastries, either plain or filled with cream, chocolate, jam or Nutella, as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry full of Nutella is the perfect way to start the day. I think it's nice to head to a bar to grab a coffee and pastries for breakfast before work and it's luxury to take more time to enjoy such a breakfast at the weekend.
Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Normally, an espresso or a macchiato(an espresso with a small amount of milk added)costs around a euro and a cappuccino about 1.50! They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee regularly without breaking the bank.

| A．a container to provide cream | B．some attractive fruit |
| C．a powder to be mixed with coffee | D．a dessert served for breakfast |
| A．Drinking coffee in cafes is expensive. |
| B．Coffee is not allowed to be taken out. |
| C．Italian coffee is mainly imported from the UK. |

【推荐3】People say that because of globalization (全球化)，American culture has taken over everywhere，but let's not forget that globalization works both ways.Some aspects of Asian culture have also made their way around the world, especially in the areas of spoils, film and food.
In the 1970s, the films of Bruce Lee helped Lo create a worldwide interest in the martial arts (武术).Before Bruce Lee became popular in the West, not many people were familiar with the various types of martial arts.Now it's quite normal for children in many Western countries to take courses in martial arts after school.Many adults also learn these Asian fighting styles for fun or to improve their fitness.
Bruce Lee's films also motivated a lot of interest in Asian films，especially action films, Jackie Chan and Jet Li followed in Bruce Lee's footsteps and are known all over the world.John Woo, famous for his Hong Kong action films, went on to work in Hollywood and many Western directors have copied his style.Western audiences also became interested in films by directors like Zhang Yimou, Ang Lee and like Chen Kaige.
Food from Asia is also popular worldwide.You can get Chinese food in any major city in the world - although it might not taste like the Chinese food in China.People enjoy sushi and other Japanese foods.Sichuan, Thai，and Korean foods are popular with people who like it spicy and Vietnamese food is also well known.So, I guess we can't say that only “McDonald's” has made a trip around.

【推荐1】If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you should understand the meaning of the sentence. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, and then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs (输入) in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
1. According to the writer, which should you improve first among the four skills?| A．Reading and listening. | B．Reading and writing. |
| C．Writing and speaking. | D．Speaking and listening. |
| A．look up all the new words in the dictionary |
| B．think about what you are reading actively |
| C．spend more time studying grammars |
| D．set down as many words and sentence as possible |
| A．choose good listening materials |
| B．remember new words in reading |
| C．improve your English as quickly as possible |

【推荐2】A deep neural (神经系统的) network trained to restore ancient Greek texts can do so with 72% accuracy when used by historians, suggests a Nature paper. The findings could assist with the restoration and sort of newly discovered or uncertain inscriptions (碑文) with improved speed and accuracy, advancing our understanding of ancient history.
To understand the history of ancient civilizations, historians study the inscriptions created by past individuals, written directly on materials- such as stone, pottery or metal- that have survived until today. However, many inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries. Their texts are now vague and their date of writing is uncertain. Specialists in the study of inscriptions can reconstruct missing texts, but their traditional methods are highly complex and time-consuming.
To overcome the restrictions of current epigraphic methods, Yannis Assael, Thea Sommerschield and their colleagues tested a deep neural network (named Ithaca), a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that was trained to restore, date and place ancient Greek inscriptions. The authors found that Ithaca could achieve 62% accuracy when used alone to restore damaged texts, and 72% accuracy when it is used by a historian. Additionally, Ithaca could also help to determine inscriptions’ place and date of writing; in their experiments, it attributed inscriptions to their original locations with 71% accuracy and dated them to less than 30 years from the date ranges proposed by historians.
The findings could unlock the cooperative potential between artificial intelligence and historians, and improve our understanding of human history.
Common fields such as education, healthcare, catering, and industry have long been dominated by artificial intelligence, and this technology is now finding its way into relatively niche (小众) fields to more fully exploit its talents. Archaeology (考古学) is one of its latest fields.
1. Which can describe the neural network’s work?| A．Uncertain but useful. | B．Imperfect and traditional. |
| C．Faster and more precise. | D．Helpful but time-consuming. |
| A．The ancients wrote inscriptions on hard materials on purpose. |
| B．The history of ancient civilization is uncovered by inscriptions. |
| C．Historians are able to recover the texts of ancient inscriptions totally. |
| D．Experts are capable of comprehending inscriptions despite complexity. |
| A．Doubtful. | B．Concerned. | C．Promising. | D．Opposing. |
| A．AI’s current wide use. | B．Historians’ new contributions. |

【推荐3】Many craft artists (手工艺人)in America made crafts for a living. They use ancient technology to make pots, baskets or bowls. Some develop their own new methods and tools to produce beautiful objects. Visitors to many art museums can see collections of the finest works by American craft artists. In most big cities craft artists can show and sell their works at craft fairs (集市) and many private art galleries sell the artists’ works. Many Americans collect and use handmade craft objects. They place ceramics (陶瓷制品), glass or wood bowls throughout their homes. They hang fiber pieces on the walls. They use handmade furniture and they wear handmade jewellery. Among the Americans who collect handmade crafts are the former President Clinton and Hillary R. Clinton. They have a small collection of clay pottery (陶器) objects. The Clintons once asked craft artists across the country to send them handmade objects to hang on the White House Christmas trees. Each artist was to send an angle made of wood, glass, clay, metal or fiber. Craft artists sent almost 800 objects, which were enough to hang on seven White House Christmas trees.
Handmade objects have always been part of American culture. Craft artists use many different kinds of materials and methods, yet common to all crafts is the creativity (创造性) of the artists that makes each object different and special.
