One summer night, on my way home from work, I decided to see a movie because I knew the theatre would be air-conditioned and I couldn’t face my 51 apartment.
Sitting in the theater I had to look through the space between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep changing the angle (角度) 52 the woman leaned(傾斜)over to talk to the man 53 the man leaned over to kiss the woman. Why do Americans express such feelings in a 54 place?
I thought the movie would be good for my English, but it turned out, it was a(n) 55 movie. After about an hour I decided to give up the movie and 56 my popcorn(爆米花). I’ve never understood why they give me so much popcorn! It tasted pretty good, 57 .
After a while I heard 58 more of the romantic-sounding Italians. I could only hear the 59 of the popcorn crunching (嘎扎的響聲) between my teeth. My thought started to wander(走神). I remembered when I still lived in 60 , I used to watch Kojak on TV frequently. He spoke perfect Korean-I was really amazed. He seemed like a good friend to me 61 I saw him again years later in New York. He spoke 62 English instead of perfect Korean. He didn’t even have a Korean accent(口音)when he spoke English and I 63 I had been cheated(被騙了).
When our family moved to the United States from the South Korea six years ago, none of us spoke any English. After we had learned a few words,
it was still a hard language for us. So my mother suggested that we all shou
ld speak
English at home. Everyone agreed, but from that day on, our house became very 64
and we all seemed to avoid(避免) talking to each other. We sat at the
dinner table in silence, and avoid speaking the 65 language.
Mother tried to say something in English, but it came out all wrong and we all
burst into laughter and decided to forget it! We have been speaking Korean at

Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.
The lady Mona Lisa in the picture makes us think that good looks can last for ever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa. The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is placed.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year. Many of them are attracted by the mystery of her smile. "It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops," said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows."
However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was sold to France's King -- Francis I in 1519. In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by someone. He hid it under his coat and took it out of the museum. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During the Second World War, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.
66. What does “time is catching up with the Mona Lisa” mean?
A. Mona Lisa runs faster than the time. B. Time can run as fast as Mona Lisa now.
C. The picture is getting worse. D. The picture is getting slower.
67. Why do so many people go to see the Mona Lisa every year?
A. Because it’s an interesting place.
B. B. Because she is a famous painter.
C. Because the picture was getting worse.
D. Because the smile of Mona Lisa is mysterious and famous.
68. When wasn’t the painting in France?
A. In 1914. B. In 1912. C. During World War II. D. In 2017.

It seems that everybody tells lies - well, not big lies, but what we call “white lies”. Telling white lies isn’t really that bad. Most of the time, people do it because they want to protect a friendship. Some studies suggest that the average person lies about seven times a day. The only real questions are about when we lie and who we tell lies to. A recent study found that people frequently stretch(編造，夸大)the truth. Here are some ways they do it.
① Lying to hide something:
People often lie because they want to hide something from someone. For example, a son doesn’t tell his parents that he’s dating a girl because he doesn’t think they will like her. Instead, he says he’s going out with the guys.
②Giving false excuses:
Sometimes people lie because they don’t want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party. You think it will be boring, so you say you’re busy.
③Lying to make someone feel good:
Often we stretch the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You probably say, “Mmm, this is delicious!”
④Lying to hide bad news:
Sometimes we don’t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a very bad day at work, but you don’t feel like talking about it. So if someone asks you about your day, you just say everything was fine.
Read the following situations. Which of the above examples do they belong to?
69. Your friend gives you an ugly vase for your birthday. You say, “Oh, it’s beautiful!”
A．①Lying to hide something B．②Giving false excuses
C．③Lying to make someone feel good D．④Lying to hide bad news
70. Your ex-girlfriend is getting married. She invites you to her wedding. But you wouldn’t like to. So you tell your friend you’re busy writing a book.
A．①Lying to hide something B．②Giving false excuses
C．③Lying to make someone feel good D．④Lying to hide bad news
71. Which of the following is telling “a white lie”?
A.The boy who lied to the villagers that a wolf was coming.
B．A family had a car accident. People sent the mother to the hospital. When she asked about her husband and child, her friends told her that they were OK. In fact, both had lost their lives.
C.When the police asked the man where he was between nine and ten o’clock on the night of December 14, he said that he was playing cards with his friends. But when he was asked to offer the names of the people who saw him, he couldn’t.
D. You say you love the rain , but you open the umbrella when it rains.

Across the United States, there are several places where two independent towns grew together to become one city - but kept both their names.
Winston-Salem is one of them. It’s a mid-sized city in what’s called the plateau(high land), between the Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina. The Winston part is a relatively new place, founded early this century. It’s home to the nation’s biggest open-air tobacco market.
The giant R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company’s headquarters(總部) is in Winston-Salem, and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds’ best-known cigarette brands(商標(biāo),牌子). Fast-growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town of Salem, so in 1913, people in the area voted(投票) to combine them into a single place.
From a historical and tourist point of view, Salem, or Old Salem, as it’s called today, is the interesting and unusual part of town.
Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians. They spoke German, and their community was religiously based, with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories. The Moravians greatly valued women’s work and brainpower. In fact, one of the nation’s oldest boarding schools for young women - the Moravians’ Salem Academy founded in 1772 - is still in operation.
Over the years, Salem lost its Moravian character. That all changed, though, when a nonprofit(非盈利的) group began to rehabilitate the historic area. It took about three years to make it like what it used to be. These days Old Salem is what’s called a living history museum, with exhibits, music, and tours of 18th-Century houses, taverns and Moravian dormitory buildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper in Winston-Salem.
The historic community is booming(繁榮) again. Just as R. J. Reynolds is taking in millions of dollars making cigarettes across town, Old Salem is generating about $15 million a year in tourism revenue and donations.

A. Winston-Salem is the name of a city

A Bite of China has become a hot topic of discussion on the Internet in China since it’s first shown on China Central Television (CCTV). This TV program is a documentary series about traditional Chinese food. Please allow me to introduce it to you.
According to World Journal, it is a great attraction for more than one hundred million Chinese audience. Most of them don’t see this program as an ordinary food show, because it shows them the value and quality of Chinese food, as well as the changes in society today. The audience are also given the chance to see how hard the cooks and farmers have to work to produce such wonderful Chinese food.
A Bite of China makes Chinese people think back to their cooking traditions, most of which have been forgotten in today’s busy life. Chen Xiaoqing, the lead director of the series, says that the program is not only about eating, but also about traditional habits and historical heritage(遺產(chǎn)) Chen’s friend, Liu Wen, says, “We also wanted to show international audience what modern China is like.”

31. In China, both men and women can drive cars. But things were different in Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia, women were not permitted to drive cars. Actually, Saudi Arabia was the only country where women couldn’t drive. In order not to be against the law, Saudi families had to pay private drivers money to send their female members to school, work and other places. According to a report, nearly 800,000 men, most from South Asia, were working as drivers for Saudi women in this country. Fortunately, the king finally agreed to issue driving licenses to Saudi women on September 26th, 2017. From then on, Saudi women have the right to drive! This decision is welcomed by Saudi women. They think this is a great victory for women in this country. Obviously, a lot of private drivers working for women in this country are going to lose their jobs!

53. Hello, everybody. Here’s some information about our trip arrangements to the town of Chester tomorrow. It’s a long journey, over three hours each way if there isn’t much traffic, so we have to start early. The bus will wait for you at the school gate, and it won’t leave until half past six. You will have time for a cup of coffee before our first visit. This will be to the palace. It’s a very interesting old building and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the visit. Tickets for the palace cost three pounds fifty for each and if you have children, a family ticket is just eight pounds. There are a lot of things to see and we will be there for about two hours. We’ll take sandwiches for lunch with us and we’ll eat together in a park. You’ll be pleased to know that tomorrow will be sunny. After lunch we’ll walk around the old market. You’ll be able to buy all your presents there. We’ll meet at the car park where it stops. So it’s very important for you to remember the place. If you are lost, please give me a call. My mobile phone number is 07762-922569. Any questions? OK, see you tomorrow morning.

55. What is the most effective vehicle nowadays? Which is your favorite way of travelling between countries and within cities? With the development of technology, ways of travelling may welcome the biggest change around the world. And Beijing shoots its own step.
56. In the near future when you take the subway in Beijng, you might see there is nobody in the driver’s seat! Don’t be afraid. You might just be taking a driverless subway line.
57. Last month, a driverless subway line started its trial runs in Beijing. It is planned to welcome passengers by the end of 2017, reported China Daily. It is the first driverless subway car made by china itself in mainland.
58. The driverless line, Yanfang line, with its length of 16.6 kms, is 5 kms longer than the No. 7 subway line, connects Beijing’s Yanshan and Fangshan areas. It has 960 seats and a top speed of 80 kilometers per hour. Xinhua News Media reports that the train is completely automatic. It can be started, stopped and watched by computers. And the leading mechanic of this project says that the train actually runs more safely and effectively than the train which humans drive. Besides, human mistakes have caused many train accidents. Drivers may suddenly be ill or become tired, but a driverless train can solve these problems. It is also said that the train has a special equipment to pull the brakes if the train hits any blocks.
59.
Driverless
trains are nothing new. They have been used around the world, from Japan to Europe, in the 196
0s. London Underground’s Victoria line, which opened in
1976, is the world’s first automatic subway line.

61. Host: Welcome to the show tonight. As we all know, Chenglong is one of the most well-known actors in China. His action movies are so popular and amazing. Today, we’ll see how he can make his success around the world. Let’s welcome Jakie Chen! Hi! Jakie!
62. J: Hi! Everybody! Hi, Abby. I am glad to be on your chat show.
63. H: The audiences are so interested in your early life. Were you excellent when you were a little kid?
64. J: No, actually not! I was born in Hongkong. At the age of seven, my father sent me to the Chinese Opera school to learn dance, singing and martial arts which are called kongfu more often.
65. H: You went to an art school instead of the normal academic school. What did you learn at school?
66. J: Teachers at school intended to prepare boys for a life in the Peking Opera. So I was taught how to act at very beginning of my life there. But I’ve never thought kongfu and acting will be my lifetime career. In fact, I didn’t like the life at school because it was harsh and difficult. But I had nowhere else to go.
67. H: You didn’t become a Chinese Opera singer. What happened next?
68. J: I stayed at school for ten years. When I was 17, I graduated. Unfortunately the Chinese Opera was no longer popular. So my classmates and I had to find other work. I worked as a stuntman. The same as my classmates, we did all kinds of stunts in Hongkong movies, falling off buildings, jumping off bridges, jumping off and on the cars, fighting in dangerous places and being blown up.
69. H: Wow, that was so exciting and of course extremely dangerous.
70. J: I got hurt countless times. At least, I could earn some money to support my life. This life
71. didn’t last long. I was forced to go to Australia to live with my parents when the Hongkong
72. movie industry began to fail. I worked in a restaurant there. At 21, I went back to Hongkong,
73. playing as a leading part in the movie called “New fist of Fury”. That was a big success in 1976.
74. Some years later, I went to Hollywood. Although I made a hit there, I led my life in frustration.
75. So I returned to China again.
76.
H: Yes! From
then on, you were becoming a huge success from China to Hollywood through your
hard work. Now, we can see that your focus shifts and you spend more time on working
for children, the old..
77. J: Movie is my life. It makes me rich and famous. But if I die, I’ll give all my money to those who are in need.
78. H: You are so kind and warm-hearted. You are the idol of all people. Thanks for today, Jackie!

80. There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was the one that is still important today--the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel a long distance.
81. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800’s, the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. They began to work hard to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century, a variety of great machines were invented. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.
82. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The middle part of the 20th century brought new methods to help people get over diseases. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960’s more people could expect to live to be at least 60. By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But people now had a wish to explore more. The world is known to humans but the stars are not yet. Humans began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space. In 1969, humans took their biggest step away from earth. American first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never dreamed of.
