At noon that day, I drove back to my house after the performance. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs—it was the sound of my favorite violin.

“Thief!”

I dashed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief.

Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile, I asked, “Are you Mr. Ram’s nephew, Michael? I’m his housekeeper. Two days ago, I heard his nephew living in the countryside will come. It must be you. You’re really like him!”

On hearing my words, the boy was first astonished, but then quickly said, “Has my uncle gone out? I think I’d better first go out for a walk and visit him again in a while.”

I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you like to play the violin so much?”

“Yes, but I’m so poor that I can’t afford it,” the boy replied.

“Then, I give this violin to you.” The boy looked at me questioningly, but he picked up the violin. Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He involuntarily trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back.

I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper’s photo.

Paragraph 1:

A few years later, I was invited to be a judge at a music competition of senior high school students.

After the competition, “Michael” ran to me, holding a violin box.

In 2003, SARS    3    (break)out in Guangdong. Later, it spread across China and other parts of the world. Patients coughed a lot and got fevers.    4    (hundred)of patient seven died from the disease. Even many doctors and nurses got SARS when they treated patients. So, everyone was afraid of it. Zhong spent days and nights to find     5    cause of the disease. Thanks    6    his way of treating, many patients began to get better. Zhong finally won people's trust.

In early 2020,a disease     7    (call)COVID-19 hit Wuhan. It spread around quickly and tens of thousands of people were infected. Zhong, 84, led    8    (he) team to fight the illness. Zhong's team took many measures     9    (cure)the patients with COVID-19. He   advised people to wear masks, wash hands     10    (frequent),stay at home and not to go to crowd places.

4 . French Universities to Offer More Classes in English

France aims to bring more foreign students to its universities by offering more classes taught in English.

France is home to famous universities like the Sorbonne in Paris and several leading business schools.     1     But it ranks(排名)behind the US, Britain and Australia in the total number of foreign students who study there.

    2     The country has seen increased competition from Germany, Russia, Canada and China.

Under the new plan, France will ease student visa requirements.     3     Starting next March, foreigners who have earned a French master's degree will be able to receive a residence visa(居留签证).The change is meant to help recent graduates look for work or set up a business in France.

    4     Currently, students in France ─ including foreign students─pay(about)170 euros a year for a bachelor's degree and 243 euros a year for a master's degree. Officials said the low cost of education in France leads students from other countries to believe that the quality of a French education is lower than what other countries offer. Beginning in September2019, non-European students will pay 2,770 euros a year for a bachelor's degree and 3,770 euros for graduate degrees.    5    

France will use the extra money to build better education facilities and increase the number of scholarships for foreign students.

A．Student visa applications also will be available online.

B．That's why we need to welcome more foreign students.

C．The country is a popular choice among non-English-speaking students.

D．That is still much less costly than some other European countries, however.

E．Increasing the number of foreigners studying in the country would help build French influence overseas.

F．France also plans to increase the costs for students who come from outside the European Economic Area.

G．Between 2011 and 2016, the number of foreign students studying at French universities fell by 8.5 percent.

6 . While visiting the North pole in winter may not be at the top of your bucket list，the ever-changing ICEHOTEL，which opened its doors to visitors on December 14 this year，may change your mind.200 km north of the Arctic Circle in the Swedish village of Jukkasjārvi，the hotel，which is carved entirely from ice，is rebuilt annually.

The 35 rooms，built to accommodate visitors on all kinds of budgets，vary from expensive suites to basic rooms that are furnished with just an icy bed and a reindeer skin.Among the highlights this year is the“Spruce Woods”suite.Sculpted by Christopher Pascoe and Jennie O’Keefe of Canada，it describes a camping scene complete with a classic microbus，a forest，and even an artificial campfire.

There is also the artfully-carved“Living Ocean”suite to remind visitors of the importance of saving our oceans.The room is full of carved sea life that includes coral and a shark“swimming”right over the ice bed.“The suite is inspired by global warming and the overfishing that affects our oceans.”says artist Jonathan Paul Green.“I also think the idea of using frozen water from a river in northern Sweden to create an ocean with shells，fish，and corals is exciting.”

The nearby“Haven”suite is a“magical gate of ice”guarded by two large animals.“We are inspired by the meeting between people and want to create an experience that invites curiosity and creativity，”says artist Jonas Johansson.“It feels like a dream to get to work with ice that allows our love for light，shine，and reflection to wander freely from thought to creation.”

Regardless of whether visitors select the carved suites or the basic ice rooms，the temperature is always set to a bone-chilling －5℃!That is why guests are advised to snuggle(蜷缩)up inside sleeping bags and wear gloves and winter hats all night.Not surprisingly，most end up spending just a single night at this unique hotel before moving on to the conventional and warmer hotels nearby.

Recently an English speaking competition held in Chongqing People’s Great Hall on April 15. Senior I and II students from Chongqing take part in it. The students introduced Queensland and Chongqing but also compared life and study to Chongqing and Queensland. Through the competition students know Queensland better. They have also improved their language ability, who will be a good help for cultural communication. The first six best students will enjoy a freely trip to Queensland. We will live and study there for two weeks in August.

I also took part in a competition. Ranked 3^rd, I will be given the chances too. I am glad I will experience life in Queensland myself and to improve my English as well.
