Dear Mr. Zhang,
Known that our school is going to set up elective (选修的) English courses, I'd like to give some advices. English Visual-Audio-Oral Course is a good choice. Most of us are interested at English videos and songs, that provide us with great images and beautiful music to listen to. As result, we can enjoy some local customs and singing English songs with joy. In addition, we need to improve our oral English. When we are always learning English, we may not be able to make a fluent speech. We can't easy communicate with others like native speakers. That is why I suggested taking a Speech Course. I'll be glad that if you can consider my suggestions.
Yours
Li Hua

Mind Your Manners
Around the world, people have different ideas about what good table manners are. In India, for example, people only eat with their right hands. You take food from one dish on the table, usually a kind of bread or rice, mix it with food from another dish and then put it in your mouth. Your left hand stays still. Eating with your left hand is very rude!
In western countries, people do not usually share the same dishes,. Everyone has his or her own plate of food, You eat with a knife and fork and you should not wave them around when you are not eating. In addition, you should try not to be noisy when eating.1.
When you go to some restaurants in different parts of the world, it is important to know what people think is rude. For example, in China it is OK to be noisy in a restaurant. In fact, if a restaurant is not noisy, you may think it is not very good.2.If a table is too noisy, other customers might not be happy.
3.In China, one person usually pays for every one. In western countries, when friends eat together, they usually share the cost. This is called "going Dutch". In addition, when westerners pay the check, they usually leave some money for the waiter. This is called“leaving a tip." Not leaving a tip is very rude. In US, it's common to leave tips of 10%, 15% or 20% of the check. The amount depends on how good the waiter was. 4.
The way people eat food is different around the world, but you can find the same kinds of food in many countries.5.
A.Good waiters can get a lot of money!
B.People think that is bad table manners!
C.Guests usually leave the tips under the plates.
D.Paying for the meal is also different from country to country.
E.However, in many western countries, restaurants are quiet places.
F.Chinese and Italian foods, for example, are popular all over the world.
G.Although good manners always make you look good, you can always follow your hosts if you're not sure what to do.
What will our world be like in 2050?
There are two features in the growth of world population. First, the annual increase in population in 15 European countries, in the past few years, has been only 300,000. The United Nations estimates (估计)that by 2050, the population of European countries will decrease from the current 0.72 billion to 0.63 billion. Second, the population in developing countries is growing rapidly. By 2050，the population of Africa is expected to reach 1.8 billion, 0.9 billion more than its current population.
A recent research report published by the United Nations indicates that it is quite possible that the Earth's temperature is rising well above the previous estimate. The Antarctic ice sheet, which contains 90% of the world's ice, has lost significant mass in the past few years. The discovery comes as a surprise to scientists, who thought that the continent would gain ice this century because of increased snowfall in a warming climate. A research team from the University of Colorado used satellite data to estimate that the ice sheet will lose up to 48 cubic miles by 2050.
Africa's rivers face great change that will leave a quarter of the continent severely short of water by the middle of the century, according to a global warming study published today. Even modest decreases in rain in western Africa will see rivers lose as much as 80% of their water and a rise of what the scientists call "water refuges(难民)”. "In those areas where there is already a water shortage, it's going to have a destructive effect," the study says,.“If you're already walking 5 km to the nearest stream, by 2050,it's going to mean walking 30 km or moving your whole household closer to the water source."
1.Which of the following situations in 2050 is NOT mentioned in the text?
A.Population change.

D.Water shortage.
2.What surprises the scientists according to Paragraph 3?
A.The Antarctic ice sheet has decreased.
B.The Earth's temperature is going down.
C.Global warming is destroying the Earth.
D.Snowfall increases in the Antarctic area.
3.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph stress (强调) ?
A.The ill fate of Africa's rivers.
B.The importance of doing exercise.
C.The hard life of the African refugees.
D.The seriousness of the water problem.
4.What was the most possible feeling of the author when he wrote this text?
A.Happy.
B.Angry.
C.Worried.
D.Calm.
The secret of successful response
The novel coronavirus(新冠状病毒)is an uncommon threat. We don't know how bad it will be, nor do we know for how long it will spread. But we do know that it has already infected (感染) more than 18,000 people and killed many around the world. It also caused serious global economic damage. We need to adapt our responses to different countries and different parts of the same country in order to limit damage. Using data well is essential to such a successful response.
Data is key to all successful public health programs. In New York City, we raised tobacco taxes and made all indoor public places smoke free. Smoking rates declined at first but then the decline stopped. Because we had a tracking system in place, we realised that progress had stopped. So, we produced strong and direct no tobacco ads to the public. Our programs quickly reduced adult and teenager smoking, preventing more than 10,0000 deaths.
Every country facing the coronavirus disease needs to strengthen their data systems to track diseases, investigate skillfully and respond fast and successfully. Fast action will save lives and save money. But building the capacity to do this isn't free. It will cost about $1 to $2 per person per year for at least 10 years --- at least 30 billion. That's a lot of money for public health, but it's a tiny part of the amount lost when we don't know what we need to know about health threats.
Getting he data right is hardly quick and never easy, but it is always very important if we want to respond successfully, limit spread, and protect our communities and economy.

2.Why does the author talk about smoking in paragraph 2?
A.To warn us that smoking is harmful.
B.To suggest us how to reduce smoking.
C.To show the significant role of data.
D.To protect people's physical health.
3.What is the author's opinion on the building of the capacity of fast response?
A.It is too expensive and many countries cannot afford it.
B.It is worthwhile and necessary to develop such a capacity.
C.It supports communities and saves lives and saves money.
D.It requires a tiny part of the amount lost by heath threats.
4.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The widespread of novel coronavirus has killed many people.
B.Using Data well is of vital importance to public health programs.
C.The importance of fighting against novel coronavirus.
D.The importance of raising tobacco taxes.
