Dear Peter,
I am pleasing to tell you that we have returned to China safely. I'm writing to express our appreciations for your reception.
We were impressed with our warm entertainment. With your careful preparation, the journey couldn't have been so successfully. We benefited a lot from the visit. We get a precious chance to learn British culture and history. It also offered us a platform where we could displayed traditional Chinese culture such as like paper-cutting and Chinese painting to more foreigners. We would like to invite you visit China this summer holiday, so you can experience the Chinese culture in person and have a deeper understand of it.
Yours,
Li Hua

For many freshmen (新生), this will really be your first time to handle money on your own. You will have difficulty handling budgets. Here are some amazing tips for you.
Keep track of personal finances
1.. This is how you become truly independent. Actually, in this case, there are now a lot of convenient APPs on your smart phone that can give you a real time image of your money and spending.
Use credit responsibly
Building credit is important, and so is opening your first credit card. 2.. Then, look for a card with no annual fee, good rewards and a reasonable interest rate.
3.
The easiest way to start is to save all your coins and changes every week into a savings account with no ATM card. This seemingly insignificant amount adds up over time and starts the habit of saving.
Get a flexible job
Getting a job in college is practical, because you can earn “spending money” and even save some to put toward books, supplies, and your student loans. 4., which have limited responsibilities. These types of work allow you to make money and finish your schooling.
Network for your future career
No money item could be more important than your network, because the quickest way to get a job is all about who you know, and not totally dependent on your grades. 5..
A.Learn to start saving a little each month
B.There are many on-campus jobs out there
C.The first step is to start keeping accounts for yourself
D.Ask the salespeople to explain detailed points to you
E.Open an account without delay when it’s convenient
F.But your job can have a negative effect on your study
G.This could benefit you more than opening up a credit card
Roughly 8. 5 billion plastic straws are used in the United Kingdom each year, but as a new ban takes effect next April, that number will decrease to zero. One startup (初创企业) is hoping to capture the chance to make a kind of straws as an alternative by using an unlikely material: pasta (意大利面食).
“It has all the function of a plastic straw that everyone has been using,” says Maxim Gelmann, founder of Stroodles, the startup. The straws, made by an Italian company that also produces regular pasta, are the same shape and size as a standard plastic straw.
Unlike a paper straw, they don’t taste like wet paper; they don’t change the flavor of the drink. They last at least an hour, and longer in colder drinks. If you’re nursing a drink for hours and the pasta eventually softens, you can choose to eat it. The raw straw is also eatable, and Gelmann says that some people snack on them.
A handful of other pasta-straw startups also exist, though Stroodles is hoping to feature itself with a smoother, more plastic-like material and its branding.
It’s more expensive to make than a plastic straw, but at large volumes, it can compete with the cost of paper straws. Because of the coming ban, “No one really compares us with plastic anymore,” Gelmann says. “They compare us with paper straw prices, which makes my argument much easier and my expectation brighter.”
Other alternatives, like bamboo or stainless steel, are more expensive and a less elegant solution; some bars say that customers don’t trust the idea that stainless steel straws can be fully sanitized (消毒). Another option—a plastic-like eatable straw made from seaweed—may be more of a competitor.
1.What’s the startup’s main purpose of producing the pasta straws?
A.To reduce the consumption of energy.
B.To take over the market.
C.To answer the call for the ban.
D.To compete with paper straws.
2.What advantage do the pasta straws have compared with other straws?
A.They are cheaper. B.They can be used longer.
C.They can be treated as snacks. D.They are suitable for mass production.
3.What attitude does Gelmann have towards the pasta straws’ future?
A.Controversial. B.Doubtful.
C.Cautious. D.Positive.
4.What can be inferred from the text?
A.The government disagrees with Gelmann.
B.The startup will become a very big company.
C.The pasta straws face fierce competition.
D.The pasta straws can improve drinks’ flavor.
