Dear Mike，
I'm very glad to receive the letter you sent me． I have been thinking the question you asked me． From my point of view， you can come to China after finished your studies．
For the one reason， China's development offers a number of job opportunity for the young． What's more， what you are studying is bad needed in China nowadays． In fact， many big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like me．
For another reason， China is a country with such a different culture as many foreigners enjoy living and working here． Why not come but join them？ If you came here， I will do how I can to help you．

Two years after announcing strict volunteer requirements for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and1.（realize） they could not get enough help for free， the Japanese ministry has instead turned to university and their vast human2.（resource）．
In the past few weeks， to encourage students to volunteer for the Olympics， a large number of universities3.（begin） to offer academic credits． According to a survey， 49 percent of universities in Tokyo-both 4.（nation） and private-are now considering that option．
While rewarding student volunteers 5.credits to advance their undergraduate programs6.（be） a nice gesture， the move also makes clear that the Olympic Committee does not want to pay for highly-skilled individuals7.must speak a foreign language， and work over ten full days--- Not to mention that they must pass 8.interview．
The move also raises the question of what it means to volunteer． It's quite obvious by now that there isn't enough people9.（fill） the 110，000 vacant positions．
Offering academic credits to Japanese students seems like the wrong way to encourage volunteerism， but precious time is going by for the Olympic Committee． If they cannot get the10.（require） 110，000 volunteers soon， an army of emotionless robots might just work．
It was a cold and rainy day. I had no ______ to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house. But she ______ I come to see something at the top of the mountain.

If you stayed up or had a bad night of sleep last night， you know it's difficult to stay awake in class today． Your teacher's voice might begin to sound like a lullaby（催眠曲）．1.To keep yourself awake， some tips are worth trying in class．
Sit in the front of the room． Why？2.Besides， it'll be easier to pay attention and participate when you're in the front． You'll also be near the people who are more likely to participate， and the sound of their voices might keep you awake．
3.Ask and answer questions and pay attention to the lecture． This will help if you're tired or discouraged by the content of the lecture， because you can ask your teacher questions to get to the bottom of the problems． Talking will also keep you engaged and alert． It might be helpful to make a goal for yourself to answer or ask at least 3questions per class．4.For example， you might say "I didn't understand the last part of the proof． Could you explain it again in more detail？"
Listen actively to the lesson． Active listening is a great way to force yourself to stay awake because it requires engagement of your mind as well as your body．5.To effectively listen to your teacher， you should try to maintain eye contact， face the speaker， pay close attention to what the speaker is saying and ask questions during a pause in the lecture．
A． Participate in class activities．
B． Develop interest in the subject．
C． If so， classrooms can be boring because you're tired．
D． Keep silent all the time and try to catch as much information as possible．
E． To avoid annoying your teacher you should try to keep your questions on topic．
F． You'll be more motivated to stay awake if you know that the teacher can see you easily．
G． Practicing active listening can help you keep your eyes open for the length of the lesson．
Maths and Music An excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician． Tell others you are also a musician， however， and they will be hooked． Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity， there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in．
I'm partly referring here to the "Mozart effect"， where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent， including at maths， than other children． It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular： we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort． But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest． If you want your brain to work better， you clearly have to put in hard work． As for learning to play the piano， it also takes effort．
Surely a connection is quite reasonable． Both maths and music deal with abstract structures， so if you become good at one， then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other． If this is correct， it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability． It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis． To become better at one， you need to improve your fitness and coordination （协调）． That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other．
Abstract structures don't exist only in maths and music． If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar． Yet we don't hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic （语言的） ability． Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical， so it wouldn't be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar． Music， however， is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it． As such， it seems different from maths， so there wouldn't be any connection between the two．
Let's see how we solve problems of the "A is to B as C is to D" kind． These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths． Consider the opening of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik （小夜曲）． The second phrase （小节） is a clear answer to the first． The listener thinks： "The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord （和弦）； what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7？" Music is full of puzzles like this． If you are good at them， expectations will constantly be set up in your mind． The best moments surprise you by being unexpected， but we need the expectations in the first place．

There is an ancient Chinese story about a giant man named Kua Fu who chases the sun. He drains (喝干) the Yellow and Wei rivers during his race and finally dies of dehydration(脱水). His failure has reminded people of the unstoppable power of the sun for centuries. And yet, scientists throughout history have tried to better understand the most important star in our sky. On Aug 12, 2018, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe(探测器), marking the start of its trip to the sun.
The probe itself is almost as big as a car and needed the help of a powerful rocket to escape Earth's orbit, change direction and reach the sun. In order to reach the sun, the probe must complete seven flight of Venus, using the power of the planet's gravity to change its path, sending it toward the sun. But that's not the only difficult part of the journey. As the probe approaches the sun's corona(日冕), it will have to bear temperatures reaching 1,400 C, as well as deal with serious radiation. So how will the probe survive?
According to NASA, a special shield (保护罩) has been used, which is a special 11.5 cm-thick carbon-composite shield that will be positioned between the probe and the sun's corona. Its advanced technology like this will make the probe's trip to the sun much smoother. If everything goes as planned, the probe will reach a speed of 692,018 kilometers per hour as it orbits the sun, setting a new record for the fastest man-made object in history, NBC noted. It will fly close to the sun 24 times between 2018 and 2025, NBC added.
The "mission to touch the sun" will "not only make history by answering questions that have puzzled scientists for decades, but it may also lead to the discovery of new phenomena that are completely unknown to us now," Raouafi told Discovery Magazine. "This mission has the potential to push solar research into a new direction," he added.
1.What does "it" underlined in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A powerful rocket. B. The probe.
C. Venus. D. The planet's gravity.
2.What do we know about the Parker Solar Probe?
A. It’s the fastest probe ever designed.
B. It has an 11.5-inch-thick shield.
C. It was designed to carry a powerful rocket.
D. It’s twice the size of a car.
3.The probe will meet the challenges except ________.
A. the route to the sun B. the heat near the sun
C. the distance to the sun D. the radiation from the sun
4.What’s the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To stress the importance of advanced technology.
B. To prove the mission is the greatest move in human history.
C. To suggest there is a long way to go in solar exploration.
D. To show the mission will fill a gap in solar research.
