Dear Tom,
How have you been recently？Though everything is going good here, but I still want to get some help from you.
I’m going to participate the Chinese Character Hero competition, which is aimed at giving teenagers a opportunity to show their level of Chinese characters. I attached great importance to this competition, but I’m quite nervously. I know you have won in many competitions ago and have much experiences in how to adjust the state of mind. I hope what you can give me some advice to reduce my nervousness. Looking forward to receive your reply.
Yours sincerely

When it comes to climate change, language does count. In March, the Guardian changed
If with “global warming”, we’re still inside our comfort zone of handling the situation, entering the state of “global heating” is like heading to a point
Decades ago when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts could be seen as an issue for future generations,” but now it’s
However, getting these messages
Indeed, language matters. But action matters even more.
3 . Some Myths You Strongly Keep Believing Are Untrue
There are varieties of false myths we spread from day to day.
Men get beer bellies from beer.
We blame the beer for the belly. It is widely believed that men who constantly drink beer end up with a beer belly. However, it is not the beer that’s to blame, but the abundance of unhealthy snacks that often accompany the drink. Alcohol in beer irritates the stomach, therefore causing an increased appetite. Dr. Michael Jensen, an obesity specialist in Minnesota USA says that drinking beer makes liver burn alcohol instead of fat, leaving the latter to accumulate in the waist.
We are told that dogs see the world in black and white. But the truth is that they can distinguish colors just not in the same way we do. Jay Needs from the University of Washington in Seattle proves that our furry friends are able to receive a limited range of colors, which means they can distinguish objects of the same shape. In general, a dog’s vision is very similar to that of a person with red-green color blindness.
Carrots improve eyesight.
| A．Dogs can distinguish colors |
| B．Men’s fat is stored in their bellies |
| C．Dogs see the world in black and white |
| D．Men’s fat is not mostly accumulated in these parts |
| E．Eventually, it spread all over the world and people are still convinced of it |
| F．We agree with the view that eating carrots plays an essential part in good vision |
| G．It is high time that scientists created a separate department dedicated to exposing the truth |
4 . When we meet someone for the first time, we usually get a vague sense of what kind of person they are by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk. In the age of social networking, however, first impressions are sometimes made even before we actually meet someone in person---that is, by looking at their profile photo.
According to a recent study, these social images say a lot about our personality. In the study, presented in a paper at the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media, a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the US used software to analyze the profile pictures of 66,000 users of US social platform Twitter and 3,200 of their tweets. At the same time, about 434 participants were asked to complete a survey about their personality type. The researchers wanted to find out if there was a connection between personality traits—like openness, extroversion, and neuroticism(神经质)—and a person’s profile picture.
According to the results, open people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use objects such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photo because they enjoy new and exciting experiences. Meanwhile, neurotic people often hold back their negative emotions. They try to avoid showing their face；Instead, they use an image of something like a pet, a car or a building.
Apart from the objects in profile pictures, the colors used in them also give us some hints about the photo’s owner. For example, extraverts were found to have the most colorful profile images, as they want to emphasize their personality and show themselves off, the researchers wrote.
Although social media photos “usually represent an extension of one’s self, they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality and idealized view,” according to the researchers. So, when choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask ourselves first what kind of image we’d like to convey. After all, first impressions always last.

| D．To seek out the link between characters and profile photos. |

| C．fill his profile photo with light colors | D．care little about his image |
| A．Be Mindful of Your Personality | B．Make Use of Your Social Image |
| C．First Impressions Make a Difference | D．Profile Photos Reveal Your Personality |
5 . I remember little of the journey which started so early in the morning. I only know that the day seemed extremely long, and that we appeared to travel over hundreds of miles. Calmed by the sound of the coach wheels, I fell asleep. But I had not slept long when the coach stopped, the door was opened, and I saw a servant standing there.
"Is there a little girl called Jane Eyre here?" she asked. I answered "Yes," and was then lifted out. My trunk handed down, the coach instantly drove away. I looked about me. I could see a house with many windows. There were lights burning in some of them. We went up a wide pebbly path, splashing wet, and were admitted at a door. Then the servant led me through a passage into a room where she left me. I stood and warmed my frozen fingers at the fire and looked around. There was no candle, but the light from the fire showed papered walls, a carpet, curtains and gleaming furniture. Then the door opened, and a tall lady with dark hair, dark eyes entered followed by another who looked younger. "The child is very young to be sent alone," said she, putting her candle down on the table. She looked at me for a minute or two and then added, "She had better go to bed soon; she looks tired."
Led by the younger lady, Miss Miller, through passage after passage, we came, at last, to a long, wide room filled with the hum of many voices. There were many tables, and seated all round on benches were a large number of girls aged from nine to twenty. Seen in the dim light of the candles, their number appeared above eighty. Each was dressed in a brown old-fashioned dress of cheap material. It was their hour of study.
Miss Miller signed to me to sit on a bench near the door, then walking up to the top of the long room she cried out "Monitors, collect the lesson-books and put them away!"
Four tall girls arose and went round, gathered the books and removed them. Miss Miller again ordered, "Monitors, fetch the supper-trays!" The tall girls went out and returned presently, each bearing a tray. Some food and water was in the middle of each tray. The food was handed round and everyone drank from the same mug. When it came to my turn, I drank too, for I was thirsty, but I did not touch the food. From there I was taken to my hard bed where I thankfully fell asleep immediately.
