How time flies! It's been a year since a day I said goodbye to my British friend,Toby. Yesterday,I received a present from him,and memories of him came flooded back. I first saw him in front of our classroom in the first day of school two years ago. He was an exchange student who would study at his school for one year. I was deep impressed the moment I saw him,since he seemed so much humorous and outgoing. During his first few month,I helped him by offering my advice and explaining some difficult Chinese. We often hang out together at weekends,that was a good chance for us to share our cultures. I wish meet him again someday.

Few days ago the government closed the schools for the virus. You were effectively your children's teacher those days. That might seem a bit daunting(令人气馁的), but I'm here to tell you that it's possible. Here are my top tips.
Don't try and copy the school system.
1.So cast that aside. Stop worrying about it. Teach in the way that you would teach and in the way that suits you and your child.
Think about something to do with timetabling.
For many of us, a timetable is absolutely essential(必要的).2.Don't look on social media at the timetable that your neighbor has posted;that's all colour-coded and terrifying. Just think of one that suits you and stick to that.
Have a breath of fresh air in your garden.
If you have your own garden, remember that playing in the garden, playing in the mud is education.3.Fresh air will make them learn better. Sunshine will be better for them.
4.
As a home educator, if there's a math problem that they're struggling with, I can sit down with them, explain the concept, and make sure they've understood it. This is something that not all children get in the school system. And this is something that you can really make the most of, so cherish the opportunity.
Take advantage of the massive wealth of online resources.
There're absolutely loads of things on the Internet. There are sites dedicated to home education. There's Twinkl, which is a really good teacher resource site. There's Conquer Math, which is a brilliant daily math programme.5.Think of it as something that your children can use to gather useful information. So you can work with those online tutors together to educate your children.
Tutoring your children at home is a really good opportunity for you to get to know your children, and you might learn something about yourself in the process.
A.Value the one-to-one time that this experience will give you.
B.Don't worry about what has been happening at school particularly.
C.You need to know what is suitable for them, and what excites them.
D.The way that teachers teach your children is very different from yours.
E.Draw up a plan that matches your working hours and their studying hours.
F.Your children don't have to sit at their desks all day, staring at math books.
G.Don't think of Internet as something that your children are going to be glued to all day.
If you live in southwest Virginia, don’t be surprised at the sight of a drone(无人机) winging its way, doing airborne delivery over your neighborhood.
On October 20,2019,wing,an American multinational company, began the most advanced trials of commercial drone delivery in Virginia. Residents can now use a smartphone app to order items from Wing partners such as Sugar Magnolia. A Wing drone never sets down at destinations, instead gently lowering the package with a rope outside the customer's door.
Though Wing is the first American company to receive Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)approval to use commercial drones as a widespread service. it is not the only one. On October 22,2019,multinational delivery company UPS, which had also received FAA approval for its drone fleet, announced it would soon begin trial deliveries of goods from health care company CVS. Meanwhile, ridesharing company, Uber, which had partnered with McDonald's, hoped to use its drones to deliver food to hungry customers in San Diego, CA, before the end of 2019. Amazon also plans on testing its trial deliveries of goods in a yet-to-be-determined location in the upcoming months.
Every company's drones can carry packages weighing up to five pounds, and the series of trial are hortative, but widespread drone delivery still has many challenges. These include basic issues like finding places for drones to land, reducing noise pollution, and even ensuring the drones don't run into each other while airborne.
To help sped up the process, NASA announced the Urban Air Mobility Grand Challenge. The competition challenges airspace service providers to find creative solutions to the issues, so that drone deliveries can become a reality soon. “We are moving fast,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. “We want to see by 2028 at least one city--maybe more than one--have the ability to control hundreds of drone delivery systems. They could be carrying goods, doing thousands of missions every day.”
1.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.It's impossible to crash other drones during the delivery.
B.People can order items from Wing directly with an app.
C.More companies are expected to try out their drone delivery.
D.Drones deliver items by gently bringing them down to the ground.
2.What does the underlined part “hortative” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Encouraging. B.Relaxing.
C.Creative. D.Relative.
3.What's Jim Bridenstine's expectation of drone delivery?
A.To increase the speed of airborne delivery.
B.To see drone delivery systems widely used.
C.To be able to control the airline system.
D.To provide more solutions to goods delivery.
4.Which is the best title for the text?
A.The Future of Drone Delivery
B.How to Achieve Drone Delivery in 2028
C.The Advantages of Using Drone Delivery
D.Drone Delivery May Become a Reality in the US
I had been living with Dino and his family for ten days or so, who lived and worked in the rainforest. They were the “bad guys”, burning much of the western Amazon to tun it into cattle farms. They were also some of the nicest and warmest hosts. They are a family trying to survive in a very tough environment through hard work. Their view and understanding of the problems the Amazon faces are different from mine. I see the Amazon as an extraordinary valuable life that should be treasured and protected at all costs-the world needs it, and we all need it. However, the Dinos see the Amazon as a vast, lasting resource that feeds them. After talking extent win them, I realized their respect for it was as deep as my own: they just saw it very differently.
Cattle farming in the Amazon is perhaps mainly responsible for the fires we are seeing now. It is an industry of cutting forest, burning it and turning it to cattle farms. Fires spread throughout the Amazon every year as a result of that practice. Putting cattle on the land means replacing trees with animals that produce damaging levels of greenhouse gases. This is just about the most stupid thing humans can do.
One morning after a fire, I returned to the land. I felt as though I had seen the blue smoke from those blackened tree trunks that remained upright, which are memorials to human stupidity.
The problems the Amazon faces are perhaps more complex now than ever before, but they are curable. We need to decide where and how we appoint and apply values based on sensible economic models that favor both the farmer and the forest. One of the issues facing the Brazilian Amazon now is a loosening of rules by the current administration which has opened up more land for deforestation(毁林) and burning. This could be disastrous, both for the Amazon and the rest of the world.
1.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The consequences of cattle farming. B.The main cause of forest fires.
C.The causes of greenhouse gases. D.The importance of cattle farming.
2.How did the author feel when returning to the land after a fire?
A.It helped the author recall his memory about the land.
B.It reminded us of our foolishness of destroying the land.
C.It's not surprising to see the land destroyed by the fire.
D.It's amazing to see the trees keep straight after the fire.
3.Which of the following statements is true?
A.The writer and Dino respected the Amazon equally in different ways.
B.Cattle farming is not to blame for the fires happening in the Amazon.
C.The problems the Amazon faces are more complex and can't be solved.
D.The Dinos are considered to be bad for burning the forest to make a fortune.
4.What should the Brazilian government do to solve the Amazon problems?
A.Prevent the deeds of burning. B.Offer more land.
C.Take stricter measures. D.Appoint economic models.
