Dear Charlie,
I’m delighted to know you are coming to China with your family during the Chinese Spring Festival, which is a great chance for you to experience Chinese culture personally. Here I am writing to offer you some advice.
It would be a good idea if you could make some preparations before your travel. First of all, learn some simple Chinese, especially the daily expressions, which makes it easier for you to communicate with the locals wherever you go. Besides, to get yourself familiar with some Chinese local customs and traditions may help you behave properly during your stay. What’s more, you can learn how to use chopsticks beforehand so that you can taste different varieties of Chinese food more conveniently.
I hope you will find my advice helpful. Wish you a pleasant journey in China.
Yours,
Li Hua

第 1 页2019届高三英语总复习测试卷四 一、阅读理解。 A【河南省开封市2019届高三第三次模拟】 Eighteen years ago, Terry Grahl, was pregnant with her fourth child. “Money was very tight.”Terry recalls. So when her mom called to ask if she'd like to go shopping at the local fabric( 布料)store for the coming Christmas, she couldn't say no because she knew she badly needed some fabrics to make new clothes for her children. “1 remember walking around, gazing at all this beautiful fabric, wondering whether there is anything cheap that I could afford. And I could still get some money left to buy Christmas gifts for my family.” Well, Terry's mom must have known what Terry was thinking. Smiling kindly, she whispered to Terry, “You pick any fabrics you like. It's your Christmas gift from me.”Terry's eyes were filled with tears as the cart began to overflow with many fabrics, but not because Terry was planning on making herself a pretty dress or a pair of curtains for the kitchen. Rather, Terry's mom's kindness had inspired some holiday gift ideas in Terry, and it didn't take long for Terry to figure out what she was going to do with all that fabric. “I was going to make my first quilt.”She explains. “Every night I would work on this queen-size quilt. With every stitch(一针), I thought about all that my mom had done for me over the course of my childhood, during which we were always battling homelessness, but Mom somehow managed to fill our lives with love and make everything okay.” On Christmas day, five days after her baby girl was born, Terry handed her mom a gift box. Inside was the quilt she had sewn, from the fabric her mother had given her as a gift. 1. What do we know about Terry eighteen years ago? A. Terry made a living by making clothes. B. Terry had a bad relationship with her mom. C. Terry and her family lived a hard life at that time. D. Terry often went shopping at the local fabric store. 2. Which of the following words best describes her mom? A. Strict. B. Critical C. Faithful. D. Generous. 3. What made Terry change her idea about Christmas gift? A. The value of the fabric. B. The responsibility for her family. C. The memory of her childhood. D. The endless love from her mother. 4. What is the best title for the text? A. A Christmas Day B. The First Quilt C. Colorful Fabrics D. Hard Childhood B Forget losing weight or saving money—we suggest one simple task to add to your list of inspiring New Year's decisions: read a book. Trust us, and your brain will thank you. Not only does reading increase the amount of daily pleasure in your life, but it could also delay dementia (痴呆) and even help you live longer. But still, picking the perfect novel isn't easy. Thankfully, Business Insider asked a Harvard professor to recommend the one book he thinks every student should read in 2019—
