And she believes the caring puppy will be by Ella’sside through the highs and lows of her life. Ms. Hodgson said, “Ever morningSnowy looks for Ella first before she runs to anyone else. It’s quite a uniquelink. I’m just thankful that I was able to give her this dog. I just can’t waitfor them to get even closer. Not many people are able to do this for theirchildren so we’re very lucky to have Snowy. I can’t even explain how I feelright now.” The young mother said Snowy, who was welcomed into the family justa week ago, has been playing a very special part to Ella’s life as well as herthree-year-old brother Blake and her father, Stewart Peggie.

Hello and welcome to Reading! We’rethe Rock family, and we’re looking forward to sharing our home with you for thefollowing three months.
Front doors
There are three keys on the keyingwe’re given you. Two of them open the front door, and the third one opens theinside door. You may find it difficult to lock and unlock the doors in thefirst week, and you’ll probably need some practice before you get it right!Please make sure to keep the inside door closed between the months of Octoberand April, because this will mike it cheaper for us to heat the house duringthe colder weather!
Shopping for groceries
Marks &Spencer—at the petrolstation near the 17 bus stop at the Three Tuns crossroads (a ten-minute walkfrom our house). This is also quite expensive, but is open very early and verylate. Lidl—this is where our family does most of our shopping. Our local Lidlsupermarket is in Woodley, and we usually go there twice or three times a week.Lidl is one of the cheapest supermarkets in Reading, but it doesn’t sell a widerange of products. There is also a Korean shop on the University campus whichsells Chinese food products. You can find it in Students’ Union building in thecenter of campus.
Boiling water
We know that most Chinese people liketo drink hot water. You are welcome to boil water in our kettle, but water inBritain houses is always safe to drink without boiling. (If you visit a placein Britain where the water isn’t safe to drink, there will be a sign to tellyou so.)
Trains in Reading
Trains: Our nearest railway station isnot Reading station, but Earley. It is possible to catch a train from Readingrailway station to Earley station, but maybe this won’t be very useful for you,because Earley station is very difficult to find if you are walking, and ittakes about 20 minutes to walk between our house and Earley station. Mostpeople prefer to catch a bus into town instead.

Point a high-powered telescope at theconstellation Cetus(鲸鱼座）and it is just possible to make out a dim red dwarf(矮星）star shining in the tail. Although it might seem not be seen,circling around that star is a rocky planet that could hold the answer towhether we are alone in the universe.
Scientists say the planet is a “Super-Earth”which is the best place to look for signs of life outside of the Solar System.Early indications suggest it has an atmosphere, and sits within the “GoldilocksZone” where it is neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water to exist. Andit is only 40 light years from Earth meaning that it could be possible to senda signal.
“This is the most exciting exoplanet(外星球）I’ve seen in thepast decade,” said lead author Jason Dittmann of the Harvard-Smithsonian Centerfor Astrophysics. “We could hardly hope for a better target to perform one ofthe biggest quests in science—searching for evidence of life beyondEarth.”
The planet was found by aninternational team of scientists. The new world named LHS 1140b, is ten timescloser to its parent star than the Earth. But because its parent star is farcooler than the Earth, the planet still sits in the habitable zone.
For life as we know it to exist, aplanet must have liquid surface water and keep an atmosphere. In this case, theplanet’s large size and closeness to its sun means that a magma(岩浆）ocean could haveexisted on its surface for millions of years, which fed steam into theatmosphere, filling the planet with water.
Astronomers estimate the age of theplanet to be at least five billion years, just a little older than Earth. Theyalso evaluated that it has a diameter(直径）1.4 times larger than the Earth. But theexoplanet is probably made of rock.
Why is the planet suitable for life in spite of being very near to its parent star?

正确答案

A cab company in one of Japan’s majorcities is introducing silent taxi drivers. Miyako Taxi, which is based inKyoto, shows the new idea in March. The business is currently operating five“Silence Taxis” across the city.
The cars look like an ordinary taxi,but a notice written on the back of the passenger seat will inform passengersthat they have entered one of the new silent taxis. Drivers will offer agreeting when their passenger enters the car, and aside from confirming theroute they will not engage in small talk. The drivers can talk only if they arespoken to first, and they are also allowed to communicate in emergency situations.
Announcing the idea, Miyako Taxi said,“This service is currently in a trial stage, with the goal of creating anin-car atmosphere that provides the most comfortable ride for passengersthrough limiting the driver’s speaking.” According to Japan Today, theymade the move after hearing reports from passengers that they were fed up beingforced to chat with their drivers.
The company will assess the popularityof the trial before deciding whether to expand it and roll it out across moreof their drivers.
Language and speaking is at the heartof another issue facing Uber drivers, after they lost a High Court Battle toblock written tests in London. Drivers applying for a minicab license in thecapital will now have to pass the written exam following Uber’s failedchallenger against Transport for London (TFL). The company argued it could seeup to 33,000 existing drivers lost their licences under the new rules.
The company’s London head, TomElvidge, determined to challenge the ruling, said, “We’ve always supportedspoken English skills, but writing an essay has nothing to do withcommunicating with passengers or getting them safely from A to B.”

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How do you write a short story? How iswriting a short story different from writing a novel? These are tough questionsto answer. 36 Still, if you want to write a short story,here are some steps to help you get started:
1. Read Short Stories.
Real writers read, and as Stephen Kingsaid, “If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have time to write.” 37 Even if you’ve read hundreds of stories,studying one or two closely will help improve your understanding of the shortstory form.
2. Write Your Short Story.
Some guides suggest focusing onwriting an attractive first paragraph first, but while that’s important, itputs a lot of pressure on you when you’re first getting started writing yourshort story. Just write. Just put pen to paper. 38 It’s not important. You just need to get yourshort story started.
3. Rewrite and Edit.
All good writing is rewriting. Afteryou write your first draft, you need to start cutting, rewrlting, and editingyour short story. 39 And it can feel like walking through a swamp(湿地）or climbingthrough a very tight cave. However, don’t give up now. You’re almost there.
4. Submit!
Before you submit your short story,make sure you’ve read it aloud several times to find any grammatical errors.Then, skim several literary magazines of the same type and read theirsubmission guidelines to know if your short story will be a good fit.
40 Don’t overthink it. Just do it. It will behard to let go of your short story, but you can’t get it published if you don’tsubmit.
A. Don’t worry aboutwhat comes out.
B. Get some suggestionsfrom other writers.
C. This is the hardestpart of writing a short story.
D. There are as manytypes of short stories as novels.
E. Finally, it’s time tosend your baby out into the world.
F. If you want to be awriter, you should consider writing short stories.
G. If you’ve never read a short story, you’regoing to have a difficult time writing one.

正确答案
Dear Joan,
I’m writing to tell you something about private cars in China. As is reported, more and more cars are coming to Chinese families. They’re certainly making people’s life easy. But they’re causing many problems, too. There are more traffic jams and traffic accidents on the streets, killing many more people. Those accidents are mostly caused by careless or even drunk drivers.
Personally, to enjoy the convenience of the cars and prevent the problems, all drivers should be aware of the importance of careful driving. Laws should be made and carried out strictly to punish those road killers. Besides, public transportation should be greatly improved so that people can go to and from work by bus instead of driving their cars.
Yours,
Li Hua
