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

Put on new set of gasses for a new view
Today I visited San Francisco’s modern-art museum. I was there to see a new exhibit about spaceflight.1.I like to “visit” this particular painting every time I go to the museum not only because it evokes（唤起）strong feelings, but because I always find something new.
There's real pleasure to be found in revisiting a museum replaying a game or rewatching a movie. Some of that enjoyment comes from the feeling of familiarity of course.2..There’s always plenty more to see, hear, taste, smell, feel, of understand the second or third time around. But how do you discover the exciting new thing in the familiar?
One way is approaching whatever task is at hand by searching for the things that you didn't see in the first time around. First, recognize that everything is always changing.3.Second, remove judgment from the experience, if possible, and just observe what's new. For example, look for the ways in which a change in your neighborhood is interesting or exciting.
4.That could mean removing sugar, coffee, a certain kind of media from your life for a specified time. Once the break is over, that same thing will have more of its former interest or excitement.5.So is true that novelty is fun, but given enough of a break in between, repeated experiences regain that initial excitement.
A. Repeated experiences like this are valuable.
B. Visiting a new country brings fresh experience.
C. Coffee will never taste better if you quit it for a month.
D. But the piece of art that made me cry was a familiar one.
E. But it also comes from noticing new things in what is so familiar.
F. So the second experience is never exactly the same as the first one.
G. Another way is changing your routine and taking a break of some kind.
Like most people, you have probably lost count of the number of perfect-looking shoes you have thrown away simply because the rubber soles (橡胶鞋底) are broken. In addition to the expense, it is also harmful to our environment. Now, thanks to a revolutionary self-healing 3-D printed rubber material, broken shoe soles may be a thing of the past.
The magical polymer (聚合物) is developed by the researchers at the University of Southern California’s (USC) and the University of Connecticut (UConn) . The team, led by USC Assistant Professor Qiming Wang, created it through a process called photopolymerization, which uses light to solidify the liquid used to create 3-D printed plastic. The researchers found that adding the right amount of oxidant (氧化剂) to the liquid allowed the 3-D polymer to heal (愈合) without slowing down the hardening process.
“When we gradually increase the oxidant, the self - healing behavior becomes stronger, but the photopolymerization behavior becomes weaker,” explained Wang. “There is competition between these two behaviors.”
The team, who published the findings in the journal NPG Asia Materials on February 1st,2019, state that the repair time can be reduced by increasing the room temperature. “If you just put a broken shoe on a bench at room temperature, the rubber will heal itself in six to eight hours,” Wang said. “If you apply heat at maybe 60℃, that expedites the healing process to about two hours.”
Given the material s huge potential, it is not surprising to hear that Wang and his team have been approached by several shoe-making companies eager to be the first to use the technology, which is still in the early stages. Once perfected, the scientists also hope to apply the technique to hard plastics that can be used to create self-healing toys, electronics, vehicle parts, and, if Wang has his way, even tires.
1.How do the researchers make 3-D printed plastic self- heal?
A.By changing the amount of light used.
B.By raising the temperature at which it is used.
C.By increasing the hardening speed of the liquid.
D.By adding the proper amount of oxidant to the liquid.
2.What can be inferred from the text?
A.The creation of 3-D printed plastic doesn’t need light.
B.The surrounding temperature determines the speed of healing.
C.Many shoe making companies got the right to use the technology.
D.Throwing away broken shoe soles has been a thing of the past.
3.What does the underlined word “expedites” mean?
A.Strengthens. B.Delays. C.Accelerates. D.Worsens.
4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A.Self - healing shoes may be in our future.
B.3-D printing technology makes a difference.
C.Self - healing technology will serve many fields.
D.A revolution of rubber soles has changed our life.
