【推荐2】Most students go to school by bus in America. In some cities the subway is also widely used. But in small towns or cities, it is still popular to walk to school.
In America, the school bus has the same color-yellow. It’s very convenient (便利的) because it can take students right to their schools. It can also give students time to talk with their friends. However, the school bus is usually slow and doesn’t come on time.
In many cities the subway can get around quickly. However, it isn’t the cheapest and is crowded during the rush hour. Another disadvantage (缺点) of the subway is that the stops are not so close to the school, and the students have to walk a long way or take a bus from the subway stop to school.
For a lot of students who live close to school, walking is the best. It’s free and good exercise. But if your school bag is full of books, or the weather is too bad, it’s not a pleasant way to walk to school.

【推荐3】New trains run across rocky mountains and the Great Wall to the north of Beijing like bullets（子弹）. They run on a high-speed railway line between Beijing and Zhangjiakou. The opening was on Dec 30, 2019.
The railway is an important support project for the 2022 Winter Olympics. The 174-km railway's trains move at a top speed of 350 km/h. This reduces the travel time between Beijing and Zhangjiakou, the Winter Games will be held there, from over three hours to only 47 minutes. It has 10 stops in total. It will help improve tourism. There are places of interest nearby.
Some of the trains on this railway are smart trains that can run by themselves. With the help of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System, they can automatically（自动）start, run between stations, change their timing according to the time table, correctly stop at a station, and open and close their doors. Passengers can also watch live sports programmes during the Winter Olympics on the train, which is helped with 5G technology.
Some people consider Zhan Tianyou as "the father of China's railways". Who is Zhan Tianyou? In 1872, the Qing government chose 30 young boys to be sent to the US to study. They were the first students in Chinese history to study abroad. Zhan Tianyou was one of them. After graduating from Yale University, Zhan came back to China. In 1905, the Qing government decided to build a railroad between Beijng and Zhangjiakou. Zhan, who studied engineering, led the project. The project is best-known for its Y-shaped switchback（人字形坡路）. There are many mountains along the Beijng-Zhangjiakou railway. It was difficult for trains to climb the mountains.
He led construction（建设）on the old Beijing—Zhangjiakou railway, China's first independently—designed railway. It was not possible to build a railway without foreign help at that time. But Zhan, the head engineer of the railway project, insisted（坚持）that it could be done. Zhan came up with an idea to reduce the slope（坡度）: a Y-shaped switchback. Instead of going directly from A to B along a steep（陡的）slope, the train goes from A to C first and then from C to B. This makes the slope much less steep.
After many difficulties, the Beijing—Zhangjiakou line went into operation in 1909. Its trains ran at 35 km/h.
As President Xi Jinping said, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway stands for the development of China's railways over more than a century, as well as China's development in general.

【推荐1】“Did you hear what happened to Allen last Friday?” Linda whispers(低语) to Tony. Feeling excited, Tony says, “You bet I did. Sam told me two days ago.”
Who are Linda and Tony talking about? It could be anybody. I can tell you that what they are saying is not nice and not even true. Still, there are so many students like Linda and Tony here at Linton High School. Many of their conversations are gossips(流言蜚语). I have noticed two results of gossip: it can hurt people and it can cause social pressure in a group.
An important bad result of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic—being in love, trouble at home, or even dropping out—that a person would like to keep as a secret. The more embarrassing(尴尬的) the secret is, the more exciting the gossip sounds. Probably the worst type of gossip is the complete lie. People often think gossipers as just not friendly, but the rumors(谣言) from their mouths hurt others a lot.
Gossip can also have another result: it sets up some unwritten(不成文的), unspoken rules about how people should act. This means that if everybody around you is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can tell that wearing or saying something similar will get you into the same kind of trouble. Such small daily things will never appear in any book to tell you about what you should or shouldn’t do.
If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? That answer is that it gives us satisfaction. Sharing the latest rumor can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing it can make a person feel like part of the “in-group”. In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感).
There are hundreds of cases showing that gossips can cause pressure and even more serious problems. And you’ll never know how people will react(做出反应) to the gossips in different situations. So the next time you want to gossip, think about what result it might have.
1. The writer uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to ________.| A．lead to the topic | B．tell his opinion | C．describe the characters | D．surprise the readers |
| A．stops them from being hurt by others | B．helps them to make more friends |
| C．makes them better at telling stories | D．gives them a feeling of satisfaction |
| A．Linda and Tony are just a very small part of the students who like to gossip |
| B．Cindy may not keep long hair after hearing her friends saying it was silly |
| C．gossips are usually about the true stories that a person wants to share with others |
| D．sharing and hearing gossips can make a person have a feeling of satisfaction |
| A．Stay away from gossipers. | B．Never become a gossiper. |
| C．Don’t let gossip become lies. | D．Gossip when it’s necessary. |

Young people can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents and classmates.
Liu Wei, a junior 2 student from Hefei, could not understand his teacher and was doing badly in his lessons. He became so worried about it that he started to cut his finger with a knife.
Another student, 14-year-old Yang Fang from Guangzhou, was afraid of exams. She got very worried when she looked at the exam paper. She couldn’t think of anything to write.
A recent report from Jiefang Daily says about 18% of Shanghai teenagers have mental(心理的) problems. Their troubles include(包括) being worried and very unhappy.
