Saber Miresmailli was on vacation in London when, caught in a bit of traffic on London Bridge, he decided to take a photo of Tower Bridge.
"I noticed the couple," he said. "At that moment, I did not see anyone from the wedding party or a photographer with the couple, so I took several pictures. Usually, my pictures are not very good given the fact that I don’t use flash and I don’t stop to compose (构图)—so when we get back after two weeks, I was very surprised to find this one turned out so well."
Miresmailli said, "I thought to myself, if it was me getting married, I would have wanted the picture."
So he posted the photo on Facebook and attached a few friends with the hope of finding the couple and passing them the picture. What happened next, he said, "was crazy."
"I received more than 2,000 requests from perfect strangers and lots of positive and negative emails." Until this afternoon, almost 230,000 people had shared his Facebook post on the photo.
There's also been an uncertain identification of the couple. It's likely that their names are Laura and James. “If it's the right couple,” Miresmailli said, “they are on their honeymoon in Bali and have no idea about the photo. I believe they will be shocked to find out a bout their fame”.
Miresmailli said he's been drowned by the interest in the photo.
"I just want to give them their picture and go back to work and tend my tomatoes," he said. 27．Saber Miresmailli is seeking for a couple who ________.
A. held the wedding party in Bali
B. were looking for their wedding pictures
C. were taken a photo by him without knowing it
D. became famous for their honeymoon experience
28．Why are Miresmailli’s photos usually not satisfactory?
A. They are not developed in time.
B. He is not good at finding views.
C. He doesn’t take enough pictures.
D. He doesn’t care much about photograph skills.
29．What is the right order of the whole story?

b. posted the photo on Facebook
c. noticed a couple
d. took a photo

f. attached some friends
A. e, d, c, b, a, f

As we drove across town, I prepared my two children for what they were about to see. A lady from our new church was dying of cancer, and I had volunteered to help her with the house-work. “Annie has a tumor(肿瘤) in her head, which has disfigured(损毁…的外形) her face,” I warned.
I struggled for the words to describe Annie’s appearance to my son and daughter. Then I remembered a movie I’d seen with my son. I wanted him to understand that disabled p eople are like anyone else—their feelings can be hurt, too.
“David, remember the movie Mask about the boy with the facial deformity(畸形)?”“Yes, Mom. I think I know what to expect.” His tone(语气) told me it was time to stop mothering him so much.
“What does a tumor look like?” Diane asked me.
I didn’t want to frighten the child, so I prepared her just enough but not too much.“Her tumor looks like the skin on the inside of your mouth. It sticks out from under her tongue and makes it hard for her to talk. You’ll see it as soon as you meet her, but there’s nothing to be afraid of. Remember, don’t stare.” Diane nodded. I knew she was trying to picture a tumor in her mind.
We entered the living room, where Annie was sitting in her chair. At the sight of my children, Annie’s face brightened. “Oh, I’m so glad you came to visit,” she said toughly. David walked across the room to Annie’s chair, put his arms around her shoulders and pressed his cheek to her face. Smiling, he looked into her eyes and said, “I’m happy to meet you.” Just when I didn’t think I could be more proud, Diane copied her big brother and gave Annie the precious, accepting hug of a child. My throat tightened with emotion as I saw Annie’s eyes well up with grateful tears.
31．From the mother’s descript ion, we know that________ .
A. Annie was optimistic
B. Annie liked children
C. Annie suffered a lot
D. Annie wore a mask
32．What does the underlined word “picture” in paragraph 7 mean?

C. create
D. make
33．The mother prepared her children for what they would see because ________ .
A. she wanted to comfort Annie
B. Annie didn’t want to be offended
C. she didn’t want the children to be frightened
D. the children were much too excited
34．What’s the best title of this passage?

How Technology Can Help Language Learning
Intelligence, according to Howard Gardner, is of eight types—verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical-rhythmic, visual-spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. This is the first in a series of posts that explore and understand how each of the above forms of intelligence is affected by technology-mediated education.
Verbal-linguistic Intelligence involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish goals. Such intelligence is developed by three specific activities: reading, writing and interpersonal communication—both written and oral. The traditional tools that have been used to efficiently develop verbal/linguistic intelligence—textbook, pencil, and paper—are giving way to technology in many schools. E-books, Internet lesson plans, online assignments and word processing software, or a subset of the above, are now common in schools. Technology allows addition of multisensory (多种感觉的) elements that provide meaningful contexts to
help comprehension, thus expanding the learning ground of language and linguistics. Research into the effect of technology on the development of the language and literacy skills vis-à-vis reading activities of children has offered evidence for favorable effects of digital-form books. A study shows that digita l reading materials have become common in developing countries in early childhood classrooms to support engagement in storybooks while enhancing the emergent literacy (早期读写能力) among children. E-books are also being increasingly used to teach reading among beginners and children with reading difficulties. Technology can be used to improve reading ability in many ways. It can enhance (加强) and sustain the interest levels for children by allowing immediate feedback on performance and providing added practice when necessary. Recent research shows that students are able to improve their sight word vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension through computer-based reading.
Technology can also help in improvement of writing skills. Word processing software promotes not only composition but also editing and revising in ways that streamline the task of writing. Desktop publishing and web-based publishing allow the work to be taken beyond the classroom into a virtual world that allows more constructive interactions.
Technology enhanced oral communication is indeed useful in that it allows students from remote locations, or from all over the world to communicate orally through video and audio conferencing tools. For example, students of languages in Australian universities overcome the problem of insufficient contact with native language speakers by using online audio and video tools that allow the development of aural, vocal and visual-cognition skills that are important in verbal and linguistic education. Oral group discussions in the form of video conferencing can help non-native speakers of a language with natural language negotiation and cultural intonations in ways that have not been possible due to geographic isolation.
Computer definitely aided language learning and computer mediated communication enhance teaching and learning experiences in the areas of linguistics and language intelligence. Although there have not been comprehensive studies on the use of technologies to aid K-12 English-language learners, there have been many individual computer programs and other technologies that accelerate the acquisition of phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and
reading-comprehension skills and other language building blocks. Title: How Technology Can Help Language Learning

For a lot of parents, sending their kids off to college is a bittersweet experience. I think a lot of teenagers head to college without any idea about how money works. Don't let that happen to your college kid. Help them understand these issues before they step into that first class.

Green life is becoming increasingly popular nowadays as it can help to reduce pollution and save energy. It is easy to adopt in our daily life and here I’d like to share my practice at home.
To save water, I often try to reuse it for watering flowers after washing hands or vegetables and seldom do I leave the tap water running when showering or washing. Also, when it is necessary to use the air conditioner, I usually set it to a proper temperature so that I can use less electricity and save money as well. Besides, I always keep in mind that I have all the lights switched off before leaving a room. What makes me most proud is that I have a cloth shopping bag made by myself for my regular shopping.
I’m fully convinced that as long as every one sticks to the three R principles----Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, we will be moving a step closer to a green life day by day。
