【推荐1】It was a Christmas night. I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was so tired that I didn’t want to work any longer, three people came to my desk—a tired woman and two children.

“Are you all sick?” I asked.

“Yes,” the woman answered and lowered her head.

But when they started to tell their problems, things became unclear. One child had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was trying to cough.

Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. “Take your time, please,” said the mother. I checked their information—no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless and the hospital was warm.

The family stayed together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses’ station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like the God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. The nurses’ station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for “a Christmas emergency(急诊).”

We took out our meals for our Christmas “sick people”. We also put oranges and apples together as presents. We tried to give them a warm place on Christmas night. Later, the little girl kissed me and said, “Thanks for being our angels.”

【推荐2】On March 14th, 2018, Stephen Hawking died. He may be one of the most famous scientists after Albert Einstein.

【推荐3】Mr. Scott talked about colours all the time. "What a honey-yellow morning it is!" he said to his wife. His wife planted fruit and vegetables in their garden, but Mr. Scott was more interested in the leafy plants, the bushes, and even the grass that grew in the garden. "So many kinds of green," he said to her after watering all the plants. "I counted at least twenty shades of green!"

"Well done, dear," Mrs. Scott said. "Now would you please count twenty dollars and go to the supermarket for some ingredients (配料)? I want to make lunch!"

With a smile on his face, Mr. Scott left at once. He enjoyed trips to the supermarket because of all the colourful cans and boxes in it. Fruit and vegetables, too, shone in their bright skins. There was never just one colour: carrots were orange, but also had bits of yellow and brown in them. Bananas were yellow and black; apples hid oranges and purples inside their reds. Mr. Scott would walk through the supermarket and enjoy all the colours around him.

"I wish there was a store full of colours that I could spend all my time in." he sighed.

He bought everything on his wife's list and came home. When he walked into the house, Mrs. Scott noticed the sad look on his face. "What's wrong?" she asked him. "It looks like you had fun at the store. I can see that you picked out the best things."

"I did have fun in the store. So much that I wish I could have spent more time there. It's so full of colours! " Mr. Scott said.

"I see," Mrs. Scott said. "Well, cheer up, because I'm going to cook a nice lunch for us!"

The next day Mr. Scott was on his usual morning walk through the neighbourhood, saying hello to everyone, enjoying the colours of the trees and flowers. It was another day of colours!

"Good morning, Mr. Brown," he called out to one of his neighbours. He liked Mr. Brown very much, because, well, you guessed it: his name was a colour!

"Mr. Scott! Just the person I wanted to see!" Mr. Brown replied. "My wife and I are moving out of this town, and I need someone to take over my shop. You are the perfect person for the job because it's a paint shop! I need someone who knows its colours. Would you be interested?"

Mr. Scott was mad with excitement. "I will take it over right away!"

Mr. Brown was relieved when he left town, because he knew his paint shop was in good hands. Sure enough, Mr. Scott kept the paint shop open for twenty more years and got to talk about colours all day, every day.

【推荐1】Micro blogs like Weibo are nothing new for the young Chinese. A newspaper in Chengdu did a survey last month. It found that 90 percent of junior high school students use micro blogs.

They give students an outlet (出口) for emotion. “I use micro blogs to record my life. I let everyone ‘see’ my feelings and complaints,” said Liu Fangyue, 14, from Xiamen No.1 Middle School. They have fun with classmates even after school. “I would send a message to praise someone who came first in the exam,” said Liu.

Teachers also join in the fun. “When I sit down to talk to my students, they may not tell me their real thoughts,” said Lu Dongping at Nanning No. 2 Middle School. “But on micro blogs, they are more relaxed. They even make fun of me.”

You would be wrong if you think micro blogs are all about fun. Zhong Yun from Xiamen Haicang Experimental School sees it as a tool to learn English. The 13-year-old girl follows foreign stars such as Avril Lavigne and Justin Bieber.

“In order to understand their English posts, I have to check the dictionary and learn many new words,” said Zhong.

“Micro blogs widen students’ perspectives (观点), but there are rules to follow,” said Shi Zhongying, a professor from Beijing Normal University. He shares some of them with micro bloggers.

“Manage your time, and don’t let micro-blogging affect your studies and health,” said Shi. “Don’t give out your name, family address or phone number on micro blogs. You should also respect truth and other people’s privacy (隐私).”

1. The second paragraph mainly tells us      .

3. What does the underlined word “them” refer to (指的是)?

B．Micro bloggers.

C．Rules.

D．Students’ perspectives.

4. Shi Zhongying didn’t suggest .

A．sharing your feelings	B．telling the truth
C．spending most of your time on study	D．giving out others’ privacy

【推荐3】Moscow’s metro is thought of as the most beautiful metro in the world. It’s the fifth largest metro system in the world by the length of route, and the fourth busiest metro system in the world by the annual passenger flow(年客流量).

Moscow’s metro is not only spectacular, but also very deep. Because Moscow’s metro is not only a means of transportation, but also taking the responsibility of underground air defense shelters during the war.

Each station is designed by famous artists in Russia, each with its own special style. And each station has its own theme. Some have many murals(壁画)that show the important events in Russia history.
