Before every class starts ，we wave our hands and smile behind our masks. It makes us feel better. We share our daily stories together. Our teachers are also trying to make their classes more interesting so that we won't get bored. My English teacher uses cat memes （表情包）in her lessons and introduces herself while playing her violin.
But there is a 12-hour time difference between Beijing and the US. My classes take place from 8 pm to 4 am. here. Because I'm the only student in my class who is studying online, my teachers like to put me on a big screen. Everyone can see me clearly. I have to make sure my face is washed before class starts!
After my class are over, I go to sleep right away. Sometimes, I try to enjoy the sunrise for a while. So far, so good! 44. According to the passage, Chen Huan ______________. A. is staying in Boston because of the COVID-19

It's the world's first and largest Ferris wheel （观景摩天轮）.It's a pity that you didn't come with us because of your exam for high school. I bought you some special gifts and I hope you'll like it.

Most people notice that there are a few differences between British English and American English. For example, there is no "r" in colour or neighbour in American English. Some also know a lot of words mean different things, like fall is autumn in British English. But there are some small differences in verbs.
British English speakers use the word "got" more than American English speakers. Where British w ill say “have got”，Americans will say "have”. For example，BE:I have(=I’ve) got two brothers./AE:I have two brothers.
The use of the verbs "have" and "take" are also a little different. In British English，they use “have” while in American English，they use "take”. BE: He is having a bath./AE: He is taking a bath.
Sometimes Americans cut out the whole words. When using perception verbs like see，hear and smell，British English often needs “can” and "could”，while American English ignores(忽略）them。

For example，BE: She can see a rainbow in the sky./AE: She sees a rainbow in the sky.
If you don't remember all these differences，don't worry，they can still understand you.
47.How many verb differences are talked about in this passage？
A. One
B. Two
C. Three

A. discuss the different cultures in the UK and the USA

六：任务型阅读
A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school.
In the USA，about 480，000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon（象征）.Yellow became the colour of school buses in the USA in1939.Dr.Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early mornings or late afternoons. That would make children safe.
There are not many school buses in Britain，and they are not yellow. They have trackers（追踪器）on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.
Kindergarten is a difficult time for some little kids. It's the first time for them to go away from their parents To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have buses in different colors. The buses can easily make children want o take then-and then, go to school.
Even some parents want to take them, too!
School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now. These school buses look just like the American school buses. In China, besides the bus driver, there should be an adult(people over 18) on the school to watch the
American over yellow safer instead where colourful easier like watch
