Real policemen can hardly tell any similarity between their lives and what they see on TV.
The first difference is that a policeman’s real life is almost around criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what can be used to prove someone guilty and lead him into prison. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more,he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.
Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.
Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal:as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding a criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks, only a little effort is spent on searching.
Having made an arrest, a policeman really starts to work. He has to prove his case so that he often has to look for a lot of different clues.
A third big difference between the drama policeman and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first, as members of a police force, they always have to behave completely according to the law. Secondly, as expensive public servants, they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.
If a policeman has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And most policemen feel the separation between themselves and the rest of the world is deepened. Most citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges are in some ways simple-minded, they suggest not punishing the criminals in a very strict way in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, most policemen feel is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people who should have stayed prison. This makes them feel rather bad.

During the outbreak of COVID-19, Chinese students use online software to continue their studies. Apart from anxiety, the novel coronavirus outbreak has also brought opportunities for some industries and changes to our lifestyles. According to the market research company International Data Corp, praises and applauds (掌声) are given to high-tech applications like 5G. New mode for various online activities, like remote offices, online education, and unmanned commerce (商业) and services, has also come to light.Months of staying at home have changed our lifestyles. Online activities have boomed (急速发展) during the epidemic, from telecommuting (远程办公) and online education to online shopping and remote medical services.
For employees, especially white-collar workers, telecommuting tools such as video conferences and online office software make working from home more feasible. According to China Daily, Alibaba’s all-in-one mobile workplace DingTalk has served more than 10 million enterprises (企业) and over 200 million people. Tencent Meeting can provide free use for over 300 participants per audio or video conference.
Meanwhile, like DingTalk, many apps have been used by students and their teachers for online classes. “Cloud platforms” have also been provided by the Ministry of Education as an approach to continuing education among students across the country.
Internet companies, such as NetEase, recently opened a full chain of contactless recruitment (招募) through online resume submission (提交) and online interviews. The candidates (候选人) can also sign contracts (合同), attend training workshops, and even begin work over the internet.
Many museums and galleries in China have also been closed to visitors, but they have launched various online exhibitions to provide a creative touring experience for the country’s vast number of stay-at-home visitors.
To help prevent possible cross-infection (交叉感染) during the fight against the novel coronavirus, virtual (虚拟的) hospitals have been established. For instance, the Tianjin Medical University General Internet Hospital has rolled out (开展) a series of services, including online inquiry (问诊), online prescribing (开处方) and drug delivery.
According to Raymond Wang, partner at global consultancy firm Roland Berger, the outbreak has further proved the importance of the internet and digital economy. He said that the outbreak would improve social efficiency and the digital economy, remote working, and online education. “This is also a big opportunity for China’s technology and business model innovation (创新) – the foundations of the digital economy,” he added.

The movie Dangal is popular in China. Everybody likes this movie and many Chinese people are fans of Admir Khan. In this film, he was a wonderful father, Mahavira Singh Pere.
Mahavira was once the champion of the Indian national wrestling (摔跤), forced to give up wrestling because of life pressure. He hoped that his son could help him realize his dreams and win gold medals in top-level competitions. Bad news was that his wife (妻子) gave birth to four girls. Luckily, when he thought his dream was broken, he found the amazing talents of his daughters. Then he began to train two of his daughters.
The two girls changed the skirts and cut off the long hair. Every day two girls woke up at 5:00a. m., and it was pretty early for such two young girls. What’s more, the girls did plenty of exercises,such as running, jumping, skipping, doing wrestling skills and so on. In India, especially in a small village, training girls like this means fighting against the whole world. But Mahavira didn’t mind what people thought, he just went ahead.
In the end, both of the two girls became world-class wrestlers.

【推荐2】No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to kill the king. He decided to dig a tunnel(隧道) into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure of the length(长度) of its string(线). In this way, he could determine(测定) how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew how to dig up.
Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.
Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightning was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau(气象局) used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented(做实验) with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.

【推荐3】I love snakes. My mom definitely does not. When she was a kid, snakes used to hide in warm spots under the furniture. So she grew up afraid she’d step on a snake. I grew up hoping I’d see one outside! In fact, lots of people who are afraid of snakes have never even seen one. So where does our fear come from?
Scientists wonder about this, too. Their experiments with adults, kids and even babies show that it’s complicated. People may not be born afraid of snakes, but we are born able to see them quickly. In tests with pictures, people picked out snakes faster than they could find flowers, frogs, and caterpillars. It wasn’t just snakes, though. People also found spiders and angry faces faster than “safe” things like flowers. It seems like we find things that might be dangerous to us faster than things that aren’t.
People also learn to fear snakes faster than we learn to fear many other things. We take our hints (提示) from other people’s scared voices and faces. Some scientists think we have evolved this way—faster to see snakes and faster to learn to fear them. After all, if we had to be bitten by a snake to learn that it’s dangerous, we might learn our lesson too late.
So why does it matter whether we’re afraid of snakes? It may not matter much to us, but it matters a lot to snakes. People protect animals they like, not animals they fear. Snakes may not be as cute as dolphins, but they’re just as important to the environment. Snakes eat insects that are pests to humans. Snakes are also food for other animals, so when we kill snakes, we’re hurting other creatures, too.
How do we overcome our fear to give snakes a chance? Scientists did a study recently where students of your age went on a field trip. Guides helped them find and capture snakes in the forest. Everyone could safely touch and hold the snake. It turns out that snakes aren’t so bad when you get to know them. Most people who were afraid of snakes before the field trip weren’t afraid afterward. In fact, snakes even became some students’ favorite animal. Hmm, maybe I should take my mom on the next field trip.
Remember: Always respect snakes, whether you’re afraid of them or not.

【推荐1】A friendship that lasted over 60 years, stretching thousands of miles, began with a comic book.
Bocher was just 14 and living in New York when she saw a boy's name and address in a comic book. It was common then for teenagers to become penfriends with children from other countries that way. So she wrote to Poulsen, who was two years older and living in Denmark. Then he wrote back, and a lifelong friendship began.
The pair first met in person two years after beginning their friendship when Poulsen was in America as an exchange student. “I had lived in New York for 16 years and had never been to the Statue of Liberty,” Bocher said “When he first came to see me, he took me there.”
They lost track of each other for a while during Bocher's college years, but connected again by chance.
“I was studying for my master's degree and I went on a study tour. On the last day of my three-week tour. I went to a cafe in Ireland.” Bocher was sitting next to a group of Danish salesmen and they began to chat. She told them the story of her and Poulsen. They were moved and said that they knew the town Poulsen lived in and agreed to carry a message for Bocher.
They saw each other at Bocher's Marlton home on June. 2019 when Poulsen and his wife came to visit her from Denmark. On this recent trip, Poulsen has spent about a month visiting friends in America, including Bocher, a retired educator.
As you can see, true friendship will never be stopped by distance.

【推荐2】When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelons were too expensive for my family. One of my father's friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman. He had a large store in Saint Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would give us a call. My father and I would go to Bernie's place, sit on the dock（码头） happily and get ready for a big meal.
Bernie would cut up a big watermelon and sit down next to us. Then we three would put our faces into the watermelon, eating it happily.
In my father's eyes, Bernie was a real rich man not because of his money but because of the way he lived his life. Bernie knew when to stop working, get together with friends and enjoy his “watermelon".
Being rich is a state（状态） of mind. Some of us, no matter（不管） how much money we have, will never be free enough to enjoy our watermelon. If you don't stop and enjoy the small pleasures（乐事） in your life, your work is probably hurting your life.
For many years, I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the dock. I was too busy making money in a hospital. Well, now I've learned it again. I will try to slow down and enjoy the small pleasures.
1. When the writer and his father stayed in Bernie’s place, they felt__________| A．surprised | B．excited | C．scared | D．worried |
| A．a businessman | B．a teacher | C．a scientist | D．a doctor |
| A．A friend in need is a friend indeed. | B．Watermelons are the healthiest fruit. |

【推荐3】Many people might think that if they had more money, then they would be happier in life. For example, people might look at what others have, like expensive clothes or nice cars, and wish they could have the same. But the things that money can buy cannot bring happiness to a person for long.
① But is that really true? Studies have found that money can, in fact, make people happier. ② Instead, it's giving money to others that makes people happy. ③ It could be buying a homeless person food to eat. ④ It could be giving money to a person in need. Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else. How did you feel? Whether it is a small or large amount of money. People feel happier when they give. This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy, too.
This idea of connecting your happiness to the happiness of others is described as a ubuntu in an African language. There is even a story about a man visiting Africa who asked some kids to race to a nearby tree. The first child to touch the tree would get a sweet treat. Surprising, all the children held hands and ran together. They all touched the tree at the same time. The man asked why they had done this. The children simply said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one.
1. The writer says that buying things ________.| A．can make people worried | B．can make people nervous |
| C．may lead to sadness for long | D．may lead to happiness for a short time |
| A．① | B．② | C．③ | D．④ |
| A．To explain Africans like sweets. | B．To show examples are not enough. |
| C．To make the writer's opinion clearer. | D．To express happiness is from children. |
| A．Buying new things can make people happy. | B．The key to happiness is making others happy. |
| C．If you want to be happy, you can visit Africa. | D．People who have a lot of money might not be happy. |
