1 . Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.
“What are you doing with that money?” Jackie asked her granddaughter.
“I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied. “I’m going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn’t get milk— her mom doesn’t have milk money and I do.”
Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.
Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the $30 the kindergartner had saved. There are 20 kids in Sunshine’s class and about half don’t get milk. It costs $ 0.45 a carton (纸盒). The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.
After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter’s plan. To her surprise, many people offered to donate toward the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than $1,000. Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year.
Jackie said Sunshine doesn’t see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends. “She doesn’t understand the effect she’s brought about,” Jackie said. “But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”

2 . Since smartphones were invented, more and more people have been addicted to them. The addiction to phones has spread to running. They’re perfectly used during a run outside. Smart phones can provide music for you and track your route. But experts warn that it’s not a good idea to hold your phone in your hand while you go out for a run because it could cause hip (臀部) and shoulder injuries.
Professional UK Athletics running coach, Alexa, asks runners to carry phones in a fanny pack (腰包) instead.“When you hold something in your hands, there are slightly indirect influences on your pace. It influences the balance of muscles (肌肉), affects the weight of some body parts, and makes you run less fast,” she tells Cosmopolitan UK.“This could be happening every time you train, week after week, month after month.” And as mobile phones get bigger and heavier, the more injuries are likely to happen.
People like to always hold their phones in the same hand. It’s a force of habit. With one arm heavier, your body will try to compensate for the imbalance, by working certain muscles harder than others.
The other risk of running with phones in hand, of course, is damaging the screen of your phones if you fall. It’s very expensive to change a screen. Some of the latest phones can close to $300.
1. Why do experts think it is unsuitable to run with a smartphone?A.It affects people’s hearing. |
B.It makes people lose eyesight. |
C.It does harm to parts of people’s bodies. |
D.It causes people to fall down and get lost. |

3 . Communication is possibly one of the most important business skills. Good communication makes you more popular.
Listen. Most of us are terrible listeners. Instead of truly listening to what the person is saying, we interrupt, prepare our reply, or think we already know what the speaker is going to say next.
Pay attention to body language. Body language can tell you just as much as what a person says, if not more.
Respect the person you’re trying to communicate with and use the method he/she accepts more easily.
Consider your tone (语气). The problem with email and social media is that it can be difficult to determine the tone.
A.Try to avoid being too serious. |
B.You may mean something as a joke. |
C.Consider communication preference. |
D.Watch carefully how they act when they talk. |
E.See how others reply to your communication. |
F.Yet many of us haven’t been trained in how to communicate with others. |
G.It’s impossible to understand what someone needs if we don’t pay our full attention to what he is saying. |
4 . China is a large country and has a population of about 1. 3 billion. But most people live in the east and the living standard is much higher than in the west. Recently, the Chinese government has decided to promote development in central and western China. The part includes 11 provinces and autonomous regions (自治区) with a population of 285 million and an area of 5. 4 million square-kilometers.
The rich nature resources in western China is one of the advantages for development. According to the plan, the government will focus on improving transportation. Highways and railways will be built. To protect nature, farmers will turn farmland back into forest. Since the western part is developing fast, all kinds of talents are badly needed. In June, 2003, several thousand college students chose to start their career in the west. They worked as volunteers. Some people even give up the chance of working in big companies in China' coastal cities. For example, Wang Fei was a student from Qinghua University. Before June, he had received a job offer in Shanghai. However, he turned down the offer. Instead, he became one of the "Go West" volunteers.
Since 2003, tens of thousands of college students have gone to the west. They are trying their best to make the west become more and more beautiful. We are sure that the development will be a great success. China will be richer and stronger.

6 . While beach vacations may be a great way to take your mind off work, people tend to forget about lakes, which can be as equally beautiful a travel destination as beach holidays. If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus.
1). Lake Van
Lake Van is the must-visit of all lakes on this list. The largest lake in Turkey, Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake there. It's situated at 5,380ft above sea level, and unique to lakes around the world, the water is high in salt content.
2) .Lake Cildir
Lake Cildir is located in Ardahan Province, East Turkey, near the borders of Georgia and Armenia. It is the second largest freshwater lake in Eastern Turkey, and many tourists are not aware of this beautiful attraction. Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus. The lake freezes during late November. If the winter is not harsh, you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing.
3). Lake Paravani
Lake Paravani is located in the south of Georgia. This time, the elevation(海拔)gets a little higher, as this lake is located at 6,801ft above sea level. At this level, altitude sickness can occur and it is a good idea to bring medication for altitude sickness. Being a volcanic lake makes for a more interesting experience. The lake is best known for fishing.
4). Lake Seven
Lake Seven is situated in the central part of Armenia, in Gegharkunik Province. It is the largest lake in Armenia, located at 6,200ft above sea level. Along the lake shore, there are various kinds of accommodation such as resorts and hotels, with plenty of activities to take part in, such as windsurfing, swimming and sunbathing.

In May, I went in holiday to Paris with my friend Lily. We had a great time here, In the first few day, we spent a lot time visiting tourist sites. We saw many beautiful places like the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame or other places of interest. I took hundreds of photos. One day we got lost on their way back to a hotel. It didn’t matter because we had found a really good market. We bought many interested gifts for our friends and family. Although we spent a lot, we felt very happy. I thought Paris was a great city to visiting.
8 . What does Beijing’s Palace Museum look like at night? Many people don’t know the answer to this question, as it closes at around 4:30 p.m in winter and 5:00 p.m in summer. However, to celebrate the Lantern Festival, Beijing’s Palace Museum opened its door to the public after dark——for two nights only. That’s a first in 94 years!
Although people could get free tickets on the museum’s website, it was difficult to get a ticket. The website even stopped working for a while because too many people visited it at the same time. Zhang Zhifu, a 77-year-old woman, received a ticket from the museum as a gift. “I grew up in Beijing and I visited the Palace Museum every year, but I never got to see it at night, It is truly an honor.” She said.
In the past celebrating the Lantern Festival was a tradition for the imperial(皇帝的) family. “We want to pass the tradition on and give people more festival experience.” Said Shan Jixiong, the head of the Palace Museum. On the night of February 19th, 2019, about 3,000 visitors spent the Lantern Festival in the Palace Museum.
