Linda Evans was my neighbor and best friend. When I was 13, my family moves away. Then we lost in touch. Over the years, I missed Linda very much. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda should fill.

One day I was reading a newspaper while I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda. So I decided to wrote to her. She called as soon as she got letter. She said excited, "The woman in the photo is my mother." Minutes late I heard a voice that I knew very well, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and talking about each other's lives. Now the empty place in my heart has filled.

7 . The great-grandmother is learning English with the help of her family when she is at the age of 91. She hopes to use the language at next year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo. Takamizawa was one of the more than 200, 00 people who requested to volunteer for Tokyo’s 2020 Games. English is not required for service, but it is a useful skill for volunteers to have.

But Takamizawa had not been able to learn the language when she was young. Takamizawa said that she was in high school when World War Two started. She said, “In my second year there, English was banned because it was the enemy language.”

Takamizawa said her grandchildren helped persuade her that she was not too old to learn. “When I talked to my grandchildren about my wish, they said, ‘It’s not too late. We will teach you one word a day’ ”. Natsuko is Takamizawa’s granddaughter and main English teacher. Natsuko sends a new English word to her grandmother’s phone every day. They also often work together directly on phrases that Takamizawa will need for the Olympics. “Welcome to Tokyo, this is the Olympic stadium, how can I help you?” Takamizawa answers when asked to say an English phrase she has learned. Natsuko explains that she wanted to give her grandmother something to enjoy. “I can clearly see her English is getting better. It’s my joy now.”

The EF English Proficiency Index is a measure of the level of English spoken in a country. Japan ranks 49th among countries where English is not the first language. This situation is slowly changing as younger generations welcome English. However, Takamizawa believes real change will not happen unless Japanese people become more open to the rest of the world. With around 500 days to go until the games begin, the whole Takamizawa family is ready to welcome the world to Tokyo.

1. Why couldn’t Takamizawa learn English when she was young?

A．Because English was useless.

B．Because she was too young to learn English.

C．Because English was forbidden to learn.

D．Because she was unwilling to learn English.

2. What can we know from the third paragraph?

A．Takamizawa gets strong support from her family.

B．Takamizawa’s grandchildren love her a lot.

C．Natsuko is Takamizawa’s granddaughter and only English teacher.

D．Natsuko teaches Takamizawa English mainly by talking with her.

3. What does the underlined phrase “This situation” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．English is not the first language in Japan.

B．The level of English spoken in Japan is relatively low.

C．Younger generations in Japan welcome English.

D．Japanese people become open to the rest of the world.

4. What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Where there is a will, there is a way.	B．It is never too late to learn.
C．The early bird catches the worm.	D．Two heads are better than one.

10 . A cute white cat peeks out of a hole with only its head visible. A long-eared rabbit licks its lips while looking up at a carrot. These aren’t real scenes in a natural park. Instead, they’re paintings in tree holes on a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province. Hundreds of people are visiting the artistic road to take photos of the new paintings.

The creator of these eye-catching paintings is Wang Yue, 23. She describes her tree hole paintings as “a beautiful journey” through which she adds fun and vitality (活力) to her hometown.

“When I saw the trees by the roadside had lost all their leaves, and the ugly tree holes became obvious, I thought that if I could paint some interesting scenes in these holes they might add some color to the city,” said Wang Yue.

But Wang was worried that her watercolor paints could hurt the trees. When Wang got permission from city officials, she gathered her color palette, brushes and a stool and got to work.

Her first painting was of rosy clouds, but many passers-by couldn’t understand it. “Perhaps it was too abstract,” said Wang Yue. After that, she began to paint animals. Using her paintbrush she creatively placed a raccoon(浣熊), a squirrel and a cat in the holes.

Wang’s friends shared her works on their micro blogs and she became a hit. Her next aim is to tell stories rather than painting individual animals. “I was glad to let people see life’s beauty. I hope more artists can join me in painting the tree holes,” she said.

1. Why did Wang Yue begin to create paintings in the tree holes?

A．To practice painting and have fun.

B．To prevent the tree leaves from falling.

C．To have passers-by take photos of her paintings.

D．To make the city more colorful and lively.

2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Wang’s first painting hurt the trees and city officials stopped her work.

B．Wang’s first painting wasn’t popular because she wasn’t skillful then.

C．Wang became successful partly because of her friends’ micro blogs.

D．Wang would continue to centre her works on individual animals.

3. Which is the best title for the text?

A．Paintings in Tree Holes Become Popular.

B．Paintings Bring Grey Road to Life.

C．Wang Yue---A Girl Who Has Become a Hit.

D．Join in Painting the Tree Holes!
