Dear Peter,
I am writing to ask for whether you are able to do me a favor. I want to have a pen friend, hopefully a girl in the early twenties, and with interests similarly to mine. In my mind, he is someone interested in traveling, swimming, and playing table teenis. However, it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have been kept one at home for some time. With such a pen friend, I hope I can share with her our experiences in traveling, taking care pets, or whichever we have in common. I believed I will improve my English by doing so and learning more about her country. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Li Hua

三、阅读理解
18. Some people state they never forget a face. But what does that saying mean? Is there really no limit to the number of faces a person can remember?
A new study has found that, on average, people can remember as many as 5,000 faces. That number comes from a group of researchers at the University of York in England, There have been many studies recently on facial recognition. But the authors of this study say theirs is the first time that scientists have been able to put a number to the abilities of humans to recognize faces.
During the study, people spent one hour writing down as many faces from their personal lives as possible, Then, they wrote down famous faces they know, such as actors, politicians and other public people. The results showed that the participants knew between 1,000 and 10,000 faces, which is very shocking to the researchers. Rob Jenkins, coauthor of the study, said one explanation about it may be that some people have a natural ability for remembering faces. He also said it could be because of different social environments. Some people may have grown up in more populated places. So they may have had more social contact throughout their lives.
The ability to tell individual people apart is “clearly important.” In today’s modern world of big cities, televisions and social media, we meet thousands of people. Our facial recognition abilities help us to deal with the many different faces we see on the screens, as well as those we know.
The people in the study included 25 men and women. They are between 18 and 61 years old. “It would be interesting to see whether there is a peak age for the number of faces we know”, Jenkins said it is possible that we gather more faces throughout our lifetime. But, he added, there also may be an age at which we start to find it harder to remember all of those faces.
12. How is the study different from the previous ones?
A. It is the first study on facial recognition.
B. The study includes participants of all ages.
C. It lists the number of faces people can recognize.
D. Participants could only recognize faces from personal lives.
13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The difference of social environments.
B. People’s natural ability to learn.
C. The wide range of the numbers.
D. The necessity of facial recognition.
14. What will the researchers probably focus on after this study?
A. Why older people remember more faces.
B. When people can remember the most faces.
C. Whether people’s ability to remember faces is necessary.
D. How our ability to remember faces vary at different ages.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Human Beings Never Forget a Face
B. Face Recognition Benefits Humans
C. The Key to Remembering More Faces
D. The Brain Remembers Thousands of Faces
参考答案：
12. C 13. C 14. D 15. D

19. As anyone who freelances（做自由职业）knows，there are lots of advantages of working at home
alone．But there are drawbacks too，like the potential loneliness．No wonder co﹣working spaces are becoming so popular：they permit self﹣employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment，while making them get some work done too．But renting a co﹣working space does cost money．
Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people's under﹣used homes into temporary co﹣working spaces，available to freelancers for free．Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together．It was a great success，and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe，North and South America，Australia，India and Japan．Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co﹣working space，or go find a Hoffice near them．
On a Hoffice day，everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour．After 45 minutes，everyone gets up to take a break，stretch，do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes．Afterwards，people can gather around again，and re﹣state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day，as a way to motivate I each other．Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour，potluck﹣style（家常饭）or by bringing your own lunch．
This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment．As some freelancers describe，"By working at Hoffice，we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment，where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs．We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm，happy，inspired and creative during the working day．"
So Hoffice is not just about sharing space；it's also about a free exchange of ideas．And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use．
4．Hoffice was started to
A．change people's attitude to work
B．provide a co﹣working space for free
C．improve people's working conditions
D．encourage people to be more social
5．What's the main idea of Paragraph 3？
A．How people respond to Hoffice
B．What Hoffice means to people
C．What people share at Hoffice
D．How a Hoffice day works．
6．Some freelancers'descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they A．work longer than before
B．can't be separated from each other
C．benefit a lot from the working style
D．expect more people to join them
7．What do we know about Hoffice according to the text？
A．It has been popular in many countries for many years
B．It has created many new job opportunities
C．It focus on ont only environment but also human needs
D．It is suitable for people from all walks of life．
参考答案：
4．B
5．D
6．C
7．A
本文主要介绍了Hoffice，一种新的工作模式．
4．B 细节理解题．由第二段Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people's under﹣used homes into temporary co﹣working spaces可知，Hoffice的出现是为了提供集体工作的场所．故选B．
5．D 段落大意题．由第三段On a Hoffice day及之后，可知，本段主要介绍了一天之中Hoffice是如何工作的．故选D．
6．C 推理判断题．根据有些自由职业者的描述，他们在Hoffice这种环境下工作，效率很高，精神高涨，应该很有收获．故选C．
7．A 细节理解题．根据第二段信息可知，Hoffice这种工作模式自创建之初就受到欢迎，已经传播到世界许多城市．故选A．。
