Wu Xiaobo is a doctor from Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China. In September 2017, he went to see his son staying
in America by plane. After saving the lives of two passengers during the trip, he became a hero.
Wu’s plane took off on September 29. He and his wife planned to fly to Los Angeles. On the plane, a man
passenger fell unconscious suddenly. The workers on the plane called for a doctor’s help. Wu Xiaobo heard the
news and hurried to the passenger. He found the passenger had a stroke. He suggested the plane should land as soon
as possible because the passenger was in great danger and he needed to be sent to the hospital quickly. So the plane
had to land in San Francisco. Thanks to Wu Xiaobo, the passenger was saved at last.
And this wasn’t the last time the doctor was called on to help out an air traveller. Heading back to China on the
same trip, Wu Xiaobo helped a woman passenger on October 10th 2017. The woman fell down on the plane
suddenly just like the man passenger, but luckily the woman came to herself with the help of Wu.
Many people spoke highly of Wu, and some of them even called him a hero. But he thought that was just what
a doctor should do.

Boys and girls, do you like listening to music? Can you play music by yourself? But have you found thatmusic is an international language? Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small
radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large
speakers and listen to music loudly as they drive on the street. Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they
drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of American people.
Most of the radio broadcast is music. So people can listen to it at any time if they like.
Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make CDs or tapes which radio stations use in every
state. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money
from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now
the singer has become a national star. And some young students even behave like him or her and they say it’s a
fashion.
There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It has stories about
the common life of Americans. Another is called Western or country music. This was started by cowboys who
would sing to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country
boy and his girl is called Western or country music. Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music.
Music for instruments is called orchestral (管弦乐的) music, such as the symphonies (交响乐) of Beethoven.
Music is around people’s life, and music can even change people’s life. Let’s listen to music at once.

Thousands of years ago, Britain was covered by thick forests, home to many animals which no longer live in
the United Kingdom. There were wolves, bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less
than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.
All this has changed, of course. Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to over sixty-five
million. Three quarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside,
new methods (方法) of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before.
The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that does not have a large wild animal that eats meat.In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats, but these are much smaller than wolves.
Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations (组织) and writers say that Britain
needs to become more natural again. They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities
were built should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK
should be helped to return and live wild. They call this “rewilding”.
,
Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years over one million trees which at first grew in Scotland have
been planted and there are plans for more—but wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even
humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy.
So far there are no wolves or bears in Britain’s forests—but soon there might be!
30. What was the population of the UK thousands of years ago?
A. About 25 million. B. Over 65 million.
C. More than 61 million. D. Not more than four million.
31. Why are there fewer birds and small animals in fields in the UK?
A. Because more trees have been planted.
B. Because there are more large wild animals.
C. Because pollution is much worse than before.
D. Because people use new methods of farming.
32. Which paragraph gives opinions from “rewilding” supporters?
A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4.
33. What are some people against?
A. Living closer to nature. B. Planting more and more trees.
C. Helping large wild animals return. D. Building more villages and towns.

American and British people both speak English, but sometimes it doesn’t seem like the same language.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say all the letters in each word, especially
consonants like ‘t’ and ‘d’. For example, Americans may say ‘I dun no’ instead of ‘I don’t know’. However, the
British usually pronounce their consonants more carefully.
Also, some letters have different sounds. For example, Americans say the ‘a’ in ‘half’ like the ‘a’ in ‘cat’, but
the British say the ‘a’ in ‘half’ like the ‘a’ in ‘aah’.
Sound is not the only difference between British English and American English. The two languages have
words for some things. For example, the words for clothing are different. Americans use the word ‘sweater’, but the
British say ‘jumper’.Many other words and expressions are different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone
a friend, you ‘ring her up’. In America, you ‘give her a call’. The British use the word ‘lovely’ to describe
something they like. Americans use the word ‘cool’ or ‘great’.
There are also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans almost always use the helping verb ‘do’
with the verb ‘have’. They might say ‘Do you have an extra pen?’ The British often ask the question in a different
way. They might say ‘Have you got an extra pen?’
These differences can be confusing if you are learning English. But there is a reason for the differences.
Languages change over time. When the same language is used in different places, it changes differently in each
place. This is what happened to English. It also happened to other languages, such as French. Many people in
Canada speak French, but their French is different from the French spoken in France.
34. Do Americans say all the letters in each word?
_______________________________________
35. Who use the word ‘sweater’ instead of ‘jumper’, Americans or the British?
_______________________________________
36. Why are there some differences in the same language?
