It just hadn't been a very good week. On Tuesday, Sam's father lost his job. Then on Wednesday, Sam's mother said that the rent(房租) of their apartment was going up. Now it was Friday, and Sam received an invitation from Rosa to her birthday party.
Sam knew Rosa from Adventure Club. He knew he would enjoy Rosa's party, but he didn't want to go without a gift. What could he possibly buy her with the little bit of money he had Sam knew he couldn't ask Mom or Dad for any money-not this week!
Later that afternoon, Sam noticed a second-hand book sale going on. He went there and had a quick look. Two books caught his eyes. The first was a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods, and the second was a book about women explorers(探险家). "Rosa would like these," Sam thought, "But would it be tacky(蹩脚的) to give her second-hand books for her birthday "
Sam decided that a second-hand gift was better than no gift at all. Besides, Rosa supported recycling in a big way. So, she would probably like it. With his last dollar, Sam bought the books and went home. He felt a little better.
The party was on Saturday. Rosa opened all her gifts and thanked everyone for the nice things they had given her. She paused(停顿) when she opened Sam's gift, which made him wonder if she liked the books, but nothing was said.
When Sam got home, he opened his e-mail and found this note from Rosa.
Dear Sam

How did you know I would love a book about women explorers and a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods Now I have something to read that will inspire me to follow my dream of becoming an adventurer and I have a book that I can share with my grandmother.she is getting older and wants to be sure her granddaughter knows how to make the wonderful foods of Puerto Rico. Thank you so much.
Love,
Rosa.

The Phone of the Wind, which sits in a garden on top of a hill in the Japanese town of Otsuchi, is now known for helping people do with sadness.
The Phone of the Wind is a white telephone booth(电话亭)，which was made by Itaru Sasaki, a garden designer. In 2010, Sasaki put the phone in his garden as a way to speak to his cousin who died many years ago. Sasaki felt as if he could connect(联系) with his cousin through the phone although the phone inside the booth was disconnected. "Because my thoughts couldn't be taken over a common phone, I wanted them to be taken by the wind," he said.
In 2011, a tsunami(海啸) hit northeastern Japan and killed over 1, 500 people in Otsuchi. To help the many people who had lost family members or friends in the tsunami, Sasaki decided to _______▲_______. The phone gave people a chance to say all the things they never got a chance to say to their loved ones. A notebook could also be found inside the booth in which people could write messages for their loved ones. Since then, the telephone booth has helped thousands of people get through the hardest time.
Sasaki's Phone of the Wind has inspired others around the world. In 2017. Altruchas, an artist in California USA, made a phone after his friend and 35 others died in a fire. Earlier in 2021, a similar phone was put on Colorado's Aspen Mountain for people who lost loved ones because of the COVID-19.
"Loss is a natural part of the human experience. When we lose someone close to us, it makes us miss them for the rest of our lives," said Altruchas, "Sasaki's Phone of the Wind does help make it a little bit easier to overcome our sadness."

July 17, 2022 was the ninth World Emoji Day. This holiday is to celebrate all the emojis and it's a big day for emoji-lovers. The founder(创始人) of Emojipedia, Jeremy Burge created it in 2014.
The first emojis came out in the late 1990s on mobile phones. They are some small symbols showing ideas or feelings, but today emojis are a useful communication tool. There are over 3,000 thousand different emojis. Five billion emojis are sent every day just on some social medias, such as WeChat. They're appearing in some surprising places too. One court judge in England even used a smiley face emoji in a document to make it easy to explain the court's decision to children.
Now new emojis are invented every year and added on Emojipedia, including A Yellow Face with Three Hearts in 2018, A Face with Medical Mask in 2020, Hearts on Fire in 2021 and A Shaking Face last year. If you want to send someone a message using emoji, check Emojipedia for more. And you can find out what each emoji means and how to use it.
People like emojis because they can show feelings, and are quick and easy to use. With a smiling or sad face added to a message or text, your reader can "see" your facial expression while reading your words. In the Internet Age, emojis help us better understand something, communicate faster, and even may help build successful relationships.
But not everyone thinks the use of emojis is a good thing. Jonathan Jones, a reporter said that the success of emojis is "a step back for humans", hurting people's ability to use languages. But for now, maybe it's best that we just enjoy using them.
27. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. Emojipedia. B. An emoji. C. World Emoji Day. D. An emoji lover.
28. Why does the court judge use a smiley face emoji in a document
A. To play a joke on children.
B. To give a surprise to children.
C. To encourage kids to study the law.
D. To help explain the decision to kids.
29. Which of the following emojis came out the earliest A
30. What's the best title for the passage
A. The Start of Emojis
B. The Development of Emojis
C. The date of World Emoji Day
D. The History of Emojipedia

Dear Claudia,
I have a best friend. His name is John. He’s 14 years old. He is of medium height with two big round eyes. He has short curly brown hair. He has a lot in common with me. Both of us like playing sports. We often play basketball or soccer together on weekends. Sometimes we go mountain climbing together. We really enjoy ourselves. And he is as outgoing and active as me. However, there are some differences between us. I’m much taller than him. And he studies even harder than me. So he always get good grades in tests. In my free time, I often watch news on TV. I think it’s kind of boring for you, but it’s quite educational and meaningful for me. I can learn a lot from the news.
Yours,
Jiang Yue
