Mr. Ellis is very old. He has seen many changes in his hometown. He knows that things are different now. But he never forgets the old days. He often talks about them. He also talks about his favorite birds, the robins. “When I was a boy, these houses were not here.”
There were wide fields and tall trees. Every spring robins would come. Thousands of them would fly up to the north from the south. They spent the winter in the south. Some would build their nests (巢) in the trees near our houses. Then people started to cut down trees, and they built more houses. The robins stopped coming. They couldn’t build their nests near our houses because there were no trees.
“Now, there are too many houses and too many roads. There are no places for the robins. They do not come anymore.” Mr. Ellis said.

When I left, there were only a few small shops in my hometown. Now, there is a big supermarket in the south of the town. And there are different kinds of things in it. There is also a new hotel. There was a great park there before, but people cut down all the trees. It is a pity (遗憾).
In the north of the town, there was a town library. It was old and small ten years ago but it is big and beautiful now. And there are more books and magazines in it. People in my town like to go there to read. There is also a new post office just across from my old school.
In the center of the town, there is a big change: people can’t drive there, but can only walk or ride bikes. There are also more flowers and trees in the town center, and they are so beautiful.
Another change is the number of new restaurants. There are more restaurants in my hometown. There is a new Chinese restaurant in the town center and a new Thai restaurant near my home. I like the two restaurants very much!

Grandma Li is over seventy years old. She has lived in Beijing all her life. She is being interviewed about life today and in the past.
What was your life like in the past
My family lived in a small house. There were no electric lights, only candles (蜡烛). My father was a postman, and he often worked for long hours. My mum was a farm girl before she met my father. Then she didn’t go out to work. There were five children in my family.
I still remember the family meals. The food was simple. We could only eat meat once or twice a year. I didn’t go to school because my parents couldn’t afford (承担得起) it.
How has your life changed
Transport and travel are easier today. When I was young, I went here and there on foot or sometimes by bike. Now I can take the bus everywhere, and there’s also the underground for people to take. And quite a few people can take a plane to anywhere in the world. The only thing I don’t like, though, is that there’s so much more traffic.
Of course, we didn’t have televisions when I was a child. I really enjoy watching TV today in my free time. There are so many good programmes. But some of the shows are too noisy for me, so I don’t like them.
Generally speaking, I think life is much better today. We eat better and we live longer.

My hometown Nanjing is in the eastern part of China. As the capital of Jiangsu, it is a modern and busy city. And it is one of the cities with the longest history in China. With the development of the economy (经济), it has changed a lot in the past few years.
For one thing, people took tramcars (有轨电车) to go out in the past. But now many people choose to take a subway because of its convenience (便捷). What’s more, taking a taxi becomes very popular. It has an app on the phone, and some young people use it to call a taxi. It may be much cheaper.
Besides, the building is different from the past. In the past, the tallest building in Nanjing was Jinling Hotel. It had 37 floors. But now, the tallest building is Zifeng Tower. It has 89 floors. Different from the past, you can see tall buildings everywhere in Nanjing.
As for the environment (环境), in the 1980s and before, Nanjing was full of trees, people paid little attention to the importance of plants and fresh air. Plants were cut down and the air got worse.

I’m Kangkang. For this report I have interviewed (采访) my grandmother about the life in Beijing.
She has lived here for over 60 years and has seen a lot of changes. Back in the 1960s, things were difficult. The roads were narrow (狭窄的) and there weren’t many ring roads. Families lived in small houses, and people were very close to each other. Almost all children could go to school but they did not have a lot of books to read. People could go to see a doctor, and the medicines were very cheap but there were not many good medicines back then. People kept in touch with their friends and family members far away mainly by letter or telegram (电报).
China has developed rapidly since the reform and opening-up (改革开放). More and more ring roads and subways have appeared and buildings in Beijing are becoming taller and brighter. People’s living conditions have improved a lot. And there are more kinds of food and clothes to satisfy people’s needs. Children can study not only in modern schools but also on the internet. People can enjoy good medical care. What’s more, communications are becoming easier and quicker — people can use telephones, cellphones, fax machines (传真机) and the internet.
Beijing has made rapid progress and it has already succeeded in hosting the 2008 Olympic Games. I think it is important to remember the past, live in the present and dream about the future.

Before 1800, women’s only place was in the home. The idea of women in the business world was unthinkable. No “nice” woman would dream of entering what was a “man’s world”. Even if she could, what would she do Men were sure that no woman could do a job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea. When the famous Bront sisters began writing books in 1846, they disguised (隐瞒) themselves by signing their books with men’s names.
Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College was the first college in America to accept women.
Hospital nursing became great work for women only after Florence Nightingale became famous. Because she was a rich and cultured woman, as well as a nurse, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurses in 1860.
The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. Because women had quick fingers, they learned to operate typewriters quickly and well.
By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals, and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that “nice” women could work in the business world had been accepted.

It was a warm spring day, Chen Beier, a TV host from Hong Kong, was on her way to a small Atule’er in Sichuan.
The small village sits on a cliff (悬崖) of eight hundred meters high. People could only get up to it by climbing a 2,556-step metal ladder. Chen Beier was making a program about it.
In October, 2021, China reached an important goal. It had done away with extreme poverty (贫穷). Many people outside couldn’t believe it. After all, China has a large number of poor villages. In order to show the truth to people, Chen set out to make the program No Poverty Land.
It was difficult to finish the trip. When she was halfway up the ladder to Atule’er, for example, Chen felt so tired that she could hardly go any further. She was also afraid of heights. Some people advised her to give up on the climb. But the woman set her teeth and continued her climb. This metal ladder, in fact, is only six years old. Before it was built, it wasn’t convenient to climb the mountain and villagers used a ladder made of plants. The government also built houses for the villagers at the foot of the mountain. Through the program No Poverty Land, people can easily see how life in poor places of China has been improved.
China has changed a lot, but some people just find it hard to believe. Now, Chen has shown us what we can do about that: Don’t just tell people about the great changes, show them whenever you can.

Recently, on the roadside of Yuhuang Village in Tongliang, some people were choosing agricultural (农业的) products. This is a new village project called the Weekend Market.
There are more than 10 kinds of agricultural products in the market, including meat, chicken, live fish, eggs, vegetables and fruits. “All the produce is produced by local companies and farmers themselves. Together, they set up a weekend market to help develop local agriculture. Now it’s convenient for the farmers to sell their produce nearby.” Bai Xiaolin, the head of Yuhuang Village, said happily.
Yuhuang Village is an agricultural village that is 5 kilometers away from Tongliang City. There are 1024 farmers here. It’s a large fruit and vegetable growing village and also an aquaculture (水产养殖) village. Usually, many tourists come to the village to play and eat. This creates a lot of space for the sale of agricultural products.
After some preparation, the Weekend Market started to run on February 3. The fresh and ecological (生态的) agricultural products interested all the tourists, and more than 7,000 yuan of products were sold that day.
“The market is so well set up that we can sell things on our doorstep,” said one farmer. “In the past, it was difficult to sell home-produced vegetables, sweet potatoes and eggs. Now, they can be sold at the door, saving time and trouble. The village has done a great thing for the farmers.”
“I bought dozens of local eggs and 20 kilograms of oranges. We all think the products are fresh and ecological. It’s safe to eat and the price is reasonable,” a tourist said.
“During the Spring Festival, the Weekend Market will remain open, and tourists are welcome to buy our produce,” a head of an agriculture company said.
“With the opening of the Weekend Market, on the one hand, we organize farmers to sell fresh produce at the market, on the other hand, we strengthens (加强) the management of the environment health and the fair trade to further promote (促进) the sales of agricultural products and farmers’ income (收入). It’s really a great idea for the village’s development,” an official said.
1．Can the farmers make money more easily now
2．What do the tourists think of the agricultural products
3．What is the success of the Weekend Market
4．To make the Weekend Market better, please list another three suggestions.
It was hard not to notice the 8-year-old boy across the street who stormed in and out of his own house. He did it often enough that a neighbor, William Dunn, wondered what was going on in his life. So Dunn asked him.
“He told me that he didn’t have a father, says Dunn, now 58,” and I realized there might be something I could do for him.
That something was fishing, a passion (热爱) Dunn’s father had shared with him. “Fishing always brought me peace and it taught me how to be patient. When you’re on the water, you can forget about your problems and just appreciate the moment.” Dunn, who has three children of his own, offered to take him fishing.
One Saturday afternoon on the water led to another, and soon he was teaching other kids in their neighborhood how to fish. That was 16 years ago.
Since then, Dunn has taken groups of kids out almost every weekend to fish. Most didn’t have father figures in their lives and had never fished before. Some were foster (寄养的) kids who had lived from one home to the next.
“They’d been through a lot, and they’d seen a lot, and their lives were difficult,” Dunn says. “But when they were fishing, all of that disappeared. Out on the boat, they’d be laughing and smiling and making new friends. I knew I was on to something.”
In the beginning, Dunn— “Big Will” to the kids—spent a large part of his money from his job selling tires to rent (租) boats for the kids. Then, in 2018, he started the non-profit Take a Kid Fishing Inc. He and a small group of volunteers have introduced more than 2, 500 kids—most without fathers around—to the calming peace found on the water and the excitement of catching a fish.
Just as important as the fishing are the relationships Dunn forms with the kids.
One of those kids was Jayden Pryor, now 13, who had a hard time when his father died in a car accident in January 2020. After joining Take a Kid Fishing program, he told his mom that Big Will had given him a sense of purpose (目标感). And, Jayden’s grades have improved too. He has become very interested in fishing and thanks Dunn for helping him mature (成熟). He also mentions that he once caught a shark with Dunn’s help. “I hope he knows I mean it when I say thank you,” he says.
Another regular angler (钓鱼爱好者), Bella Smith, says that Dunn emphasizes self-respect and mental toughness. “I’m able to forget about the past when I’m fishing and focus on something fun and positive,” says Smith, 21, who is in a foster program for young adults while she takes automotive classes at a technical college. “Fishing is learning for life. I’ve learned that I deserve a better life than what I had. Whenever I feel down about something, I know it’s time to go fishing.”
Dunn’s own father passed away this past December. As a result, the fishing trips have taken on new meaning for him. “I have even more passion for it because now I’m fatherless too.” That’s why he’s always eager to watch the kids on the boat.
“There’s nothing like feeling that first pulling on the line and seeing a kid light up with a smile,” Dunn says. “I feel lucky to see that every weekend.”
1．What do you think of Dunn Why
2．What have the kids learned from Dunn and fishing
3．The kids in the story have learned a lot from fishing with Dunn. What is the “fishing” in your life How does it help you Please give more details (细节).
In early days of history, being a good neighbor was very important. Neighbors helped one another build houses, and clear fields. Families depended on one another for friendship and entertainment.
But today in our cities and suburbs, friendly relationship between neighbors is not common. A family may not even know the other families that live next door to them. We live in an age of machines, and each family may have its own car, TV set, and washing machine. People no longer depend on neighbors as much as they once did. Machines keep people apart in other ways. In our grandparents’ time, women met while they hung out the washing, and men stopped and talked while they mowed the lawns. Today, they cannot hear anything above the noise of their power lawn mowers. And women stay inside with their electrical dryers, which help dry their clothes. Children are inside watching their favorite TV shows. Is the idea of being a good neighbor old-fashioned
In 1965, a power cut hit New York City, and many thousands of people were left helpless. Suddenly, everyone shared the same problem, and the largest city became a group of eight million neighbors. People with cars offered rides to those walking. Other people helped direct traffic. In elevators, people played word games and helped cheer each other up.
In times of trouble, people still depend on one another. As time goes on, people may once again feel that being a good neighbor is important.

The Sport of Concentration
Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me increase the distance and pace I run, or the number of hours I sleep, or the rate of my heartbeats. It will make me a “better me,” or so the story goes.
Maybe some of them actually help to do these things, but nonetheless, I still decided to sell all of my sports gadgets a few months ago and simply record my running times with a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I began to train for a marathon the old-fashioned way, without something on my wrist telling me my pace and current heart rate. As it turned out, running without knowing all that information was a great pleasure.
In the past, whenever I was running slower than my smartwatch said I should be, I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to.
On more than a few occasions, when I’d look at my notepad following key workouts (锻炼), I was shocked to see that I’d had some real breakthroughs (突破), running much faster than I thought I could. I was so shocked about these numbers and thought that if I’d seen them during the workout itself, I would have probably slowed down. Yet, because I was blind to them, I just kept on running.
Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether everything has enough battery power.
So, what’s the lesson here Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.
Should you stop using technology to “improve” your performance Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were to be asked that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it.
1．When did the writer decide to sell all of the sports gadgets
2．Why was the writer shocked
3．What’s another positive thing without any running gadgets
4．What does the writer learn from the example of running
5．What do you think of sports gadgets Why do you think so
As mobile phones grow in popularity, telephone booths have become fewer in German cities. But a new project in Berlin is hoping to turn them into shelters for another endangered technology — books.
Konrad Kutt of the Institute for Sustainability in Education, Employment and Culture decided to start the BücherboXX project to improve reading in Berlin. They filled telephone booths that are about to be thrown away with books and put benches outside for people to sit down and take a reading break. “It teaches people about reusing in details. about sustainability (持续性) and also about improving learning.” said Kutt. These public bookshelves are in the streets of many volunteer groups. Each shelf holds around 200 books, it takes about six weeks to replace the old books with new ones.
Each of Berlin’s three current reading booths has been colourfully painted by students who are also responsible for building the benches and bookshelves inside the booths. The telephone booths themselves were bought from telephone companies that set to just throw them away.
Some community members keep an eye on the booths to prevent destroying and make sure they are often cleaned. In these libraries, people can read whatever they want to read. Local people who visit the booths are encouraged to leave one of their own books when they take a book with them. There are no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow, like at a library because the BücherboXX system relies on trust and the community’s good will.
One woman named Petra Rucker. a 45-year-old social worker, stopped by to take a look at the books. “I come by here on the way to work but never have stopped by until now,” Rucker said. “It looks interesting.” This time she left without a book. “But I will certainly be back here,” she said.
1．Are telephone booths very popular in Germany
2．How long does it take to replace the old books
3．Why are there no sign-out sheet or rules for visitors to follow
4．Did Petra Rucker leave the booth with a book or without a book
5．What are the main points about the passage

Grandma Li is over seventy years old. She has lived in Beijing all her life. She is being interviewed about life today and in the past.
What was your life like in the past
My family lived in a small house. There were no electric lights, only candles (蜡烛). My father was a postman, and he often worked for long hours. My mum was a farm girl before she met my father. Then she didn’t go out to work. There were five children in my family.
I still remember the family meals. The food was simple. We could only eat meat once or twice a year. I didn’t go to school because my parents couldn’t afford (承担得起) it.
How has your life changed
Transport and travel are easier today. When I was young, I went here and there on foot or sometimes by bike. Now I can take the bus everywhere, and there’s also the underground for people to take. And quite a few people can take a plane to anywhere in the world. The only thing I don’t like, though, is that there’s so much more traffic.
Of course, we didn’t have televisions when I was a child. I really enjoy watching TV today in my free time. There are so many good programmes. But some of the shows are too noisy for me, so I don’t like them.
Generally speaking, I think life is much better today. We eat better and we live longer.

I’m Kangkang. For this report I have interviewed (采访) my grandmother about the life in Beijing.
She has lived here for over 60 years and has seen a lot of changes. Back in the 1960s, things were difficult. The roads were narrow (狭窄的) and there weren’t many ring roads. Families lived in small houses, and people were very close to each other. Almost all children could go to school but they did not have a lot of books to read. People could go to see a doctor, and the medicines were very cheap but there were not many good medicines back then. People kept in touch with their friends and family members far away mainly by letter or telegram (电报).
China has developed rapidly since the reform and opening-up (改革开放). More and more ring roads and subways have appeared and buildings in Beijing are becoming taller and brighter. People’s living conditions have improved a lot. And there are more kinds of food and clothes to satisfy people’s needs. Children can study not only in modern schools but also on the internet. People can enjoy good medical care. What’s more, communications are becoming easier and quicker — people can use telephones, cellphones, fax machines (传真机) and the internet.

Even if she could, what would she do Men were sure that no woman could do a job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea.

Recently, on the roadside of Yuhuang Village in Tongliang, some people were choosing agricultural (农业的) products. This is a new village project called the Weekend Market.
There are more than 10 kinds of agricultural products in the market, including meat, chicken, live fish, eggs, vegetables and fruits. “All the produce is produced by local companies and farmers themselves. Together, they set up a weekend market to help develop local agriculture. Now it’s convenient for the farmers to sell their produce nearby.” Bai Xiaolin, the head of Yuhuang Village, said happily.
Yuhuang Village is an agricultural village that is 5 kilometers away from Tongliang City. There are 1024 farmers here. It’s a large fruit and vegetable growing village and also an aquaculture (水产养殖) village. Usually, many tourists come to the village to play and eat. This creates a lot of space for the sale of agricultural products.
After some preparation, the Weekend Market started to run on February 3. The fresh and ecological (生态的) agricultural products interested all the tourists, and more than 7,000 yuan of products were sold that day.
“The market is so well set up that we can sell things on our doorstep,” said one farmer. “In the past, it was difficult to sell home-produced vegetables, sweet potatoes and eggs. Now, they can be sold at the door, saving time and trouble. The village has done a great thing for the farmers.”
“I bought dozens of local eggs and 20 kilograms of oranges. We all think the products are fresh and ecological. It’s safe to eat and the price is reasonable,” a tourist said.
“During the Spring Festival, the Weekend Market will remain open, and tourists are welcome to buy our produce,” a head of an agriculture company said.
“With the opening of the Weekend Market, on the one hand, we organize farmers to sell fresh produce at the market, on the other hand, we strengthens (加强) the management of the environment health and the fair trade to further promote (促进) the sales of agricultural products and farmers’ income (收入). It’s really a great idea for the village’s development,” an official said.
1．Can the farmers make money more easily now
2．What do the tourists think of the agricultural products
3．What is the success of the Weekend Market
4．To make the Weekend Market better, please list another three suggestions.
【答案】1．Yes(, they can). 2．They think the products are fresh and ecological. It’s safe to eat and the price is reasonable. 3．The tourists can buy what they want there and it can further promote the sales of agricultural products and farmers’ income. 4．To make the market better, I think first, it should try to control price rises because of good sales. Second, it should try not to let bad agricultural products enter the market. And third, it can find ways to attract more ecological agricultural products to the market, so as to attract more tourists.
