【推荐2】It was a cold day in December in New York City. A little boy about 10 years old was standing in front of a shoe store on Broadway. He was looking through the windows, barefooted (赤脚的) and shivery. A lady walked to the boy and said,“My little boy, what are you looking at?” “I am asking someone to give me a pair of shoes,” the boy said.
The lady took him by the hand and went into the store. She asked the clerk to get a pair of socks for the boy. Then she asked if he could give her some water and a towel. The clerk quickly brought the things to her. She washed the boy’s little feet and dried them with the towel. By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. The lady helped the boy to put on the socks, and then bought him a pair of shoes. She said,“My little boy, do you feel more comfortable now?” As she turned to go, the boy caught her by the hand and looked at her face.
With tears in his eyes, he asked,“Are you an angel (天使)?” “No, I’m a mother,”said the lady.

【推荐3】How would you feel if a stranger bought you something to eat or drink? Would you like to buy another stranger some food or drinks?
Do you know what “paying it forward” means? It’s not paying for something before you buy it. “Paying it forward”is to do something nice for another person for no reason. Then that person does something nice for someone else.
You might think that this doesn’t seem like much. But this kind act can spread（传播） really fast. In December 2015, a woman was buying a meal at McDonald’s in Florida, US. She also bought a meal for the person standing in line behind her. Well, that person did the same thing, and the next person did too. Soon, 250 people had bought meals for another person!
But you don’t need to spend money to pay it forward. There are examples of paying it forward every day like volunteering（做义工）, giving food to the homeless or doing something extra nice for someone around you.
Try it out for yourself. All you have to do is look for little things you could do to make a person’s day. Then, ask them to spread the word and do three kind things for someone else. And when someone does something nice for you, don’t forget to do the same!
1. What happened after the woman bought food for the next person in line?| A．250 people asked her to pay for them. |

【推荐2】"I'm a big fan of the NBA." "The PM2.5 level is high today." "What's the Wi-Fi password for this restaurant?"
Do you often say or hear such sentences? Just to be clear: NBA is short for National Basketball Association. PM stands for particulate matter, and some say Wi-Fi stands for wireless fidelity.
Many of you will already know the meaning of these abbreviations(缩写词). Young people often mix them with Chinese language in their conversations. "I knew what the NBA was long before I heard its Chinese name," said Zhang Hangyu, 14, from Hunan. "The English word is easy to remember."
There has been some criticism(批评) of these words. Some people think they harm the purity (纯洁) of the Chinese language. "Some people worship(崇拜) the West crazily and use foreign words to show off," language expert Xia Jixuan told People's Daily.
Should we close the door to foreign words? "We can bring in foreign words and localize(将……本土化) them. That gives the Chinese language new life," said Yao Xishuang, a language official from the Ministry of Education.
Now, experts are working on official translations of popular foreign words. For example, PM2.5. is“细颗粒物”in Chinese.
1. Abbreviations like "NBA" come from ________.| A．their Chinese translations | B．their English names |

【推荐1】One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary (必要的) to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.
1.“What’s the matter?” “I went to a party last night, so I…”
2.“I feel so tired these days.” “I think you’d better…”
2.“Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”
You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially (尤其) spoken English.
1. This passage tells us mainly about ______.| A．the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign language |
| B．how to guess what one is going to talk about |

I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer, in fact I dared not.
The clock struck 12. “Oh, dear!” I cried, “ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most poor person in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to study so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

【推荐3】The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar（阴历）.This day is always the first full moon in the new year. Ancient people also called it Shangyuan Festival. Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty（朝代）and became popular in the Tang Dynasty.
Watching the red lanterns is one of the main traditions. Lanterns of different shapes and sizes are usually put on trees, or along river banks on show. It is said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming to ask for help when he was in trouble. Today, when the lanterns slowly rise into the air, people make wishes.
Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous. The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character（汉字）,a famous person's name, or a place name.
The most important thing is to eat sweet dumplings with different tastes. In northern China, they are called yuanxiao while in southern part they're named tangyuan. Because making sweet dumplings is like a game or an activity, they are usually done happily by a group of friends or family members.
In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic. Watching lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this:
