Mom was cooking in the kitchen. She could hear the girls arguing in the living room. It was the third time this week that the sisters had been arguing over nothing. A few minutes later, Maria rushed into her bedroom angrily and closed the door heavily.
“Come to the kitchen, young lady,” Mom firmly （坚定地） said to Maria in her best mother tone （语气） of voice.
Maria walked into the kitchen and shouted, “I can’t stand living with Felicia another minute. I don’t ever want to talk to her again!”
Mom called out, “Felicia, come to the kitchen right now.”
While Felicia was on her way, Mom put two chairs opposite each other but very close together.
“Maria, you sit here and Felicia you sit there.” The girls sat face to face, with their knees almost touching. “Now you look each other in the eye for five minutes,” Mom ordered.
At first the girls moved their bodies from side to side. Mom said firmly, “You must stay staring at each other for five minutes. Each minute you don’t make eye contact （眼神交流） means another minute sitting in the chairs. ” They both wanted out, so they had to sit there and look at each other.
Felicia looked at Maria’s pouting （噘嘴的） face while Maria looked at Felicia’s angry face. They each thought the other one looked ridiculous （可笑的）. In fact, they were being ridiculous to fight and be mad at each other over nothing.
Soon Maria couldn’t stand it any longer and began giggling （咯咯地笑） and so did Felicia. They giggled and laughed.
Mom wisely didn’t say anything except, “Okay girls, you can go now.”

【推荐1】Sue looked out of the window. All she saw was an old yellow and green ivy(常青藤)plant. The halfdead plant had few leaves on it because of the autumn winds.
“There are only five，now，” said Joanna.
“Five what，dear？What are you counting？”
“The ivy leaves，” Joanna answered. “When the last one goes，I'll die. I've known that for two days. Didn't the doctor tell you about it？”
“Joanna，don't say that. Now，eat some soup and I'll finish my picture.”
“I don't want any soup，” said Joanna，looking out of the window. “Now there are only four.”
“Joanna dear，try to sleep. I must ask Mr Berman to come up. I want to draw a picture of him as a poor old farmer.”
Mr Berman，who was over 60 years old，lived downstairs. He was a painter too，but he never sold anything，and he drank a lot. Sue told him all about what Joanna was saying.
“She can't really think about this will happen！The poor woman！” he cried.
…
Finally there was only one last leaf on the ivy plant. After a few windy days，the leaf was still there.
“Susie，” said Joanna，“I've been a bad girl. That last leaf is telling me that it was very wrong of me to want to die. Bring me some soup，dear.”
The next day，the doctor said，“She's out of danger. But poor Mr Berman downstairs is dying. There's no hope for him，I'm afraid.”
That afternoon Sue went into Joanna's bedroom.
“Joanna dear，Mr Berman died today. And do you know why？One terrible，cold wet night he took a ladder and some green and yellow paint and he climbed up，and— oh，look at the last ivy leaf on the wall！Why didn't it ever move in the wind？Can't you see？It was Mr Berman's last great picture.

My father would leave early in the morning carrying a little basket to ask for food on credit (赊欠). Each night he would return home around 10:00p.m. My mother would try to encourage me by telling me to keep the water in our pot boiling so that when my father arrived we could quickly cook any food he brought in the already prepared water .

【推荐1】On February 20, 2021, Jasmine Harrison became the youngest woman to row (划艇)alone across the Atlantic Ocean. It took the 21-year-old swimming teacher just over 70 days to do it.
Ms. Harrison, who’s from England, didn’t have much experience in rowing long distances (A). She got the idea three years ago when she happened to be in Antigua. There she saw the end of the 2017 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. “I want to do this, so I’m going to do it.” she said.
Every year, rowers taking part in the Atlantic Compaign set out from the Canary Islands in December and row about 4,800 kilometers across the Atlantic. Some row in teams of two, three or four. Others, like Ms. Harrison, row by themselves.
It wasn’t easy. Every day, Ms. Harrison would row for about 12 hours. She rowed about 20, 000 strokes (划) a day.
Ms. Harrison had a smartphone that allowed her to talk with family and friends every day. She had other company along the way. She saw lots of sea life, including some whales. For several days, she was followed by a small group of dolphins(海豚) “I was in their environment.” she said. “It was just amazing.”
There was danger, too. Twice, her boat was turned over in the night by large waves. She hurt her elbow quite badly. Another time, she nearly ran into a ship.
Somehow, she kept going. Finally, on February 20, after 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes, she reached Antigua—the end of the journey. Ms. Harrison’s rowing has made her the youngest woman ever to row alone across the Atlantic. Before, that record was held by Kaitie Spotz from the USA, who crossed the Atlantic as a 22-year-old in 2010.

【推荐1】Tsunami (海啸): Killer Wave
The warnings are few. The signs are sudden. The ground shakes. The tide goes into reverse. A great roaring sound fills the air. And then… It strikes. Wave after wave of crashing, crushing water. And when it is over, nothing is left. A tsunami.
The word in Japanese means "harbor wave". Japan has been hit by many tsunamis in its history, as a result of its location. It lies across the edges of 4 tectonic plates (地壳板块). Most earthquakes are born in such places. When two tectonic plates push together, the earthquake sends enormous amounts of energy up through the ocean. A series of waves expands in all directions. In deep water, these waves travel fast – up to 500 miles an hour - but reach a height of only a few feet. A passing ship may not even notice them. But as the waves enter shallow waters and come into contact with the ocean floor, their speed is reduced but their height is raised. As they move onto land, the waves can rise as high as a 10-story building.
A tsunami wave doesn't break like an ordinary wave. Instead, it advances like a wall of water, crashing over everything in its way, sometimes reaching more than a kilometer inland. More damage is caused when the wave moves back out to sea. It drags everything in its path underwater and out to sea. Most tsunamis have several waves. They arrive between 10 and 60 minutes after the first strike – just when survivors think the danger has passed.
The deadliest tsunami ever recorded occurred in December of 2004. An earthquake off the coast of Indonesia caused a tsunami that rushed across the Indian Ocean and reached as far as the coast of Africa. Whole sections of cities were destroyed. More than 200,000 people died.
Most had no way of being warned. Five thousand miles away in Hawaii, scientists at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center monitor the earth's movements 24 hours a day. They hope to prevent a similar disaster from happening in the Pacific region. If they discover a quake big enough to cause a tsunami, the scientists try to find out where the wave will head and warn people in its path. Their advice-is simple: leave the coastal areas and move to higher ground. Wait for news that the danger has passed. And be ready to deal with the damage that a tsunami leaves behind.
1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?| A．What is a tsunami like? | B．What is a tsunami? |
| C．Where does a tsunami come from? | D．How strong is a tsunami? |

The plan was announced on Thursday after high-level political meetings in Beijing．A Chinese Communist Party statement gave a number of reasons for the change in policy．The statement said the change is meant to balance population development，stop a falling birth rate（ 出生率） and strengthen the country's labor force（劳动力）．
China，with the largest population in the world，started the one-child policy in 1980．But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children．For example，some families in the countryside could have two children，if the first-born child is a girl．
In 2013，the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child．
Jiang Quanbao，a teacher and population expert，explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy．"Too many young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child，"he said．"People in the countryside are more interested．But some of them are already allowed to have two children．"
At the end of 2014，China had a population of 1.37billion people．A total of 800million of them have jobs．But the labor market population will drop in 35years．That is to say，the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050．With the two-child policy，an increase in births can solve this problem．
Boys and girls，what do you think of the two-child policy？Do you want to have a new-born brother or a sister？
1. Why does the government plan to end the one-child policy？___
| A．Because we need a larger population． |
| B．Because millions of people have jobs． |
| C．Because most families want to have a second child． |
| D．Because a falling birth rate must be stopped． |
| A．They support the policy． | B．They don't think it is good． |
| C．They're very interested． | D．They're not interested any more． |

【推荐3】My friend, Emma Daniels, spent the summer of 1974 traveling in Israel. During her month-long stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom, Alex, used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he'd be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the café, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secretary General of the United Nations (UN).
Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was surprised to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting.

【推荐2】Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a "telepresence" system (远程遥控系统) —allowing users to control the heating and looks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected (连接) to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company(公司) Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to solve the coming problems. "Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, head of a research company.
