In a shocking upset,70-year-old Republican candidate Donald Trump rode a wave to victory as voters elected him the 45th President of the United States.
Actually,a lot of experts had predicted that Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton would come out on top.Throughout the campaign,one of Trump’s main challenges was to persuade voters that he has the attitude,knowledge and judgment to be president.In the end,he was able to attract more than enough voters to his side.
Hillary Clinton admitted the election to Trump in a phone call at around 2:30 am.“Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time,”Trump told his supporters during his victory speech.“We owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country.”
Hillary Clinton delivered her speech later in the day.“We must accept this result and then look to the future,” she told her di sappointed supporters.“Donald Trump is going to be our president.We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead.”
Trump’s rise to the presidency comes after a long career as a real estate developer.He built skyscrapers, resorts and golf courses.He also risked other businesses,introducing Trump Steaks,Trump Natural Spring Water,and an airline called Trump Shuttle.In 2004,he became a TV star with the reality show The Apprentice.
Now Trump and his team will have to face many difficult things.They’ll have to wo rk to bring the country together after a divisive campaign that upset millions of Americans.Throughout
the country,millions of Americans are out of work and struggling to make ends meet.The new president must also address international issues.They include the war on terrorism and the refugee crisis.Still,Trump says he sees a bright future ahead.“Every single American will have the opportunity to realize his or her fullest potential,” he told his supporters.

A trip across the Pacific will guarantee you a different experience with a tipping(给小费) culture you’ve never come across in China.
In the US,giving a little extra money to service workers on
top of your bill is a common practice.
Though US national law requires that businesses pay workers at least $7.25 (45 yuan) per hour,employees receiving tips—often waiters and waitresses—are the exceptions.They usually only receive at least $2.13 an hour,and tips make up the difference.As The Wall Street Journal put it:“The American system of tipping holds the promise of great rewards for waiting staff.”
So how should you tip if you are in the US?
Normally you pay tips as a percentage of the bill.Offering an extra 15 percent of the bill to the waiter or waitress in a restaurant and to the delivery man or woman is customary and expected.You can offer more for great service and less for poor service.
Yet there is an exception.For take-out food,you don’t have to provide tips,though some people say that filling an order still requires work and time that deserve a little extra—but maybe a little less.
Tips are not expected at fast food restaurants,pizza parlors,cafés or ice cream s hops either,though a tip jar might be right by the cash register (收银机).Don’t feel obligated to throw some money in,but also remember that it doesn’t hurt.Those workers do not rely on tips.
Other service workers also receive tips.For taxi drivers,15 percent is the norm (标准),more if they help with your bags.Hairdressers often receive about 15 percent of the bill.The same goes for spa therapists(理疗师) and tour guides.
Today,you can even pay tips on a credit card.When receiving a copy of the bill to sign,you are free to fill in how much you’d like to tip.
Though thinking about when to tip and how much you
should tip causes a big headache for many Chinese people,it’s important to bear in mind that as long as you show respect and use your reasoning,things will be just fine.
29.What is the article mainly about?
A.How tipping culture started in the US.
B.How to give tips properly in the US.
C.New ways to give tips in the US.
D.The different attitudes that Chinese people and Americans have toward tipping.
30.Which of the following is said to be against the norm of tipping in the US?
A.Paying waiters and waitresses less than $7.25 per hour.
B.Ignoring the tip jar at fast food restaurants,cafés,or ice cream shops.
C.Tipping taxi drivers less than 15% because of poor service.
D.Refusing to give tips to your tour guide.
31.The underlined word “obligated” in Paragraph 7 probably means .
A.being forced to do something
B.being grateful for something
C.being surprised at something
D.being embarrassed about something
32.According to the author,Chinese consumers .
A.don’t necessarily have to follow the tipping rules in the US
B.should use their credit cards to give tips
C.must argue about the amount of tip they have to pay
D.should take it easy and give the correct tips for different occasions
D
They may be teenagers,but 17-year-old Brittany Bull and 16-year-old Sesam Mngqengqiswa have grand ambitions—to launch Africa’s first private satellite into space.They are part of a team of high school girls from Cape Town,South Africa,who have designed and built equipment for a satellite that will orbit over the earth’s poles scanning Africa’s surface.
Once in space,the satellite will collect information on agriculture,and food security within the ing the data,“we can try to determine and predict the problems Africa will be facing in the future”,explains Bull,a student at Pelican Park High School.“Where our food is growing,where we can plant more trees and vegetation and also how we can monitor remote areas,”she says.“We have a lot of forest fires and floods but we don’t always get out there in time.”Information received twice a day will go towards disaster prevention.
It’s part of a project by South Africa’s Meta Economic Development Organization(MEDO) working with Morehead State University in the US.
The girls (14 in total) are being trained by satellite engineers from Cape Peninsula University of Technology,in an effort to encourage more African women into STEM(science,technology,engineering,mathematics).
Scheduled to launch in May 2017,if successful,it will make MEDO the first private company in Africa to build a satellite and send it into orbit.
Mngqengqiswa comes from a single parent household.Her mother is a domestic worker.By becoming a space engineer or astronaut,the teenager hopes to make her mother
proud.“Discovering space and seeing the Earth’s atmosphere,it’s not something many black Africans have been able to do,or get the opportunity to look at.I want to see and experience these things for myself,”says Mngqe ngqiswa.
Her team mate Bull agrees,“I want to show to fellow girls that we don’t need to sit around or limit ourselves.Any career is possible—even aerospace.”
33.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
rmation provided by the satellite.
B.The benefits brought by the satellite.
C.Problems African agriculture faces.
D.The way the satellite collects information.
34.Why are the experts teaching the girls satellite technology?
A.To turn them into good farmers.
B.To help African women to live better.
C.To train employees for a private company.
D.To attract more African women to sci-tech fields.
35.What do you think of the girls in the text?
A.Ambitious and pioneering.
B.Generous and considerate.
C.Independent and modest.
D.Brave and tolerant.

I am writing to suggest lift the ban on using smart phones,tablet computers and other mobile devices in class.
Mobile devices came into existence as result of the development of science and technology.They would benefit us a lot as long as they are used proper.First,mobile devices are efficiency and can help teachers know that students understand what is taught when they finish their exercises.Second,mobile devices can make classes more interested so students will be more willing to learn.Finally,using mobile devices will reduce the use of paper,and which will be good for the environment.Please take my suggestion into consider.
Looking forward to you reply.
