A Letter From 2070        Hi, this is the year 2070. I have just turned 50, but I look like a person of 85. Because I don’t have enough water to drink. I’m afraid I don’t have much time left to live. I’m already one of the oldest people in this society.        I remember when I was five years old. Everything was very different. There were lots of trees in the parks. I could enjoy a shower for half an hour. At that time, women had beautiful hair. Now we have to shave our heads to keep them clean without the use of water.        I remember there were “Save Water” warnings(警告)in many places, but nobody paid attention. We believed water would last forever. Now, all the rivers and lakes are either dry or polluted. Water is much more expensive than gold. In the past, doctors suggested adults drink eight glasses of water a day. Now days, I am only allowed half a glass. People die young.        When my son asks me about my childhood. I tell him about how pleasant it was to fish in the rivers and how healthy people were. When he asks, “Why is there no clean water now?” I feel very sorry. I belong to a person who turned a blind eye to all the warnings.        I wish this letter could travel back in time and that it would make people living in the 2020s truly understand the importance of saving water.        Best, Natalie

Du Fu, one of the greatest poets in China, is popular with most of us. However, Du is largely unknown in the Western world.

       The BBC’s one-hour documentary Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet, introduces the great poet to Westerners. As the first English-language documentary about Du, it compares him to Dante and Shakespeare, two of the greatest writers of the West.
       In the film, British historian Michael Wood pictures the poet’s life. He visits a number of places, such as the poet’s birthplace of Gongyi in Henan and the Du Fu Thatched Cottage (杜甫草堂) in Chengdu. Along the way, he meets and talks to people who tell the fantastic stories of the poet. The film also has talks with researchers and recitals of Du’s works by British actor Sir Ian McKellen. He is known for performing Shakespeare’s works.
       The documentary explains why Du’s works have been popular for so long. “Chinese people really treasure the recording of history and Du Fu is better than anyone at showing history in his works.” said Zeng Xiangbo, a teacher at Renmin University.
       Du lived under the rule of Tang Xuanzong and he worked for the government. But because of the An Lushan Rebellion (安史之乱), he ran away with his family, living a poor life. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing, pouring out his care for his country and people, as well as describing the simple joys of life.

The “Double Eleven” Shopping Festival is one of the largest shopping festivals in China. Last year, the biggest winner, Alibaba, alone     61     498.2 billion yuan in trade.

Many people believe such large shopping festivals can help them save lots of money. After all, many customers do buy some goods the     62     in a year. But if you take a careful look at the sales prices, you’ll find that many of them     63     in “9”or “99”. In our everyday life, we hardly say, “Just give me 5.99 minutes.” Or it’s     64     to say,“Just give me 59 minutes.”   We get used to saying,“Just give me six minutes.” and “Just give me 60 minutes.” Why do stores choose the other way round?

According to Lee E. Hibbett, an expert of marketing, this pricing skill     65     around for a century. No one knows who invented it. It’s clear that stores all like it. Prices that have “99” and “9” simply sell     66    .

The skill is based on (基于) how we read. On a price tag, we can easily remember the number on the far     67    . We can remember the “5” most     68    5.99 yuan is pretty close to 6 yuan. Something that sells for 5.99 yuan just seems like a better deal than the one that sells for yuan.

In a 2016 study, Hibbett asked a clothing company to raise the price of one of its dresses. He and his workmates all thought fewer people would buy the dress, but the result actually     69     them. Sales were up by a third when the price was raised from $34 to $39. However, raising the price from $34 to $44 made     70     difference.

So be careful with prices with “99” and “9”. They may make you spend more money but not save some!

When you cut yourself, you bleed. If a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die. Blood is very important.     71     At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!

       When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it.     72     This is called “blood transfusion”.
       But there are two problems. First, it does not always work.     73     Later, doctors find that not all people have the same kind of blood. There are four groups—O, A, B and AB. We all have blood of these groups. They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB. But they must give A group blood to A group people and B group blood to B group people. I have O group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely.
       There is another problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group.     74     So they need a way to keep the blood till someone needs it. At first they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days by making it very cold. Then they find how to keep it for a very long time.
       We call a place to keep money a “bank”. We call a place to keep blood a “blood bank”. One day when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a “blood bank”.     75     Or perhaps one day you may become ill and may need blood. The “blood bank” will give it to you.

A．People have always known that.

B．Often they can not find a person in time.

C．You can get money easily from the bank.

D．In this way, you may stop someone from dying.

E．Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion.

F．The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person.
