The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.‎ ‎ In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo.

Now there is another type of mail as a new business: “future mail.”‎ ‎ “The letter should be delivered(邮递) next ‘Mother’s Day’ and not a day earlier!” Lin Xiaofan tells one of the companies offering the service. She wrote the letter to her mother in advance to express her love to her mother for next Mother’s Day. ‎ ‎ “Offering this service makes people slow down and let them understand the meaning of ‘time’ in another way,” said Zheng Zhimin, manager at a “future mail” company in Hefei. Zheng thinks “future mail” letters are “reminders of affection, friendship and love.”‎ ‎ While “future mail” is becoming popular, some are concerned about what happens if the postal address of the person who receives letters changes before letters are delivered.‎ ‎ Zheng said customers needn’t worry too much about their future mail. They will be compensated (赔偿) if their letters or goods get lost by accident any way.‎ ‎ Most of the customers are college students and young white-collar workers. Psychologists(心理学家) said young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service. They can experience the connection between the past and the present while they receive the letter. It can help people reunderstand the meaning of ‘time’.‎ ‎66. You may receive a “future mail” that was posted much ______ than you expected.‎ ‎ A. faster B. nearer C. earlier ‎67. A lot of ______ are interested in future mail service now.‎ ‎ A. little children B. college students C. old workers ‎68. Through future mail service, people can ______.‎ ‎ A. forget friendship B. show feelings C. misunderstand “time” ‎ ‎69. According to the article, future mail is ______.‎ ‎ A. special and safe B. boring and dangerous C. funny and crazy ‎70. If you want to ______ , you’d better use future mail.‎ ‎ A. remind yourself of your father’s birthday ‎ B. send the birthday gift to your friend quickly ‎ C. talk with your e-pals about your life freely E ‎ Put an ice cube(冰块) from your fridge into a glass of water. You have a piece of string(线) 10 centimeters long. The task is to take out that piece of ice with the help of the string. But you must not touch the ice with your fingers.‎ ‎ You may ask your friends to try to do that when you are having dinner together. There is a saltcellar on the table. Tell them that they must use salt when they carry out the experiment.‎ ‎ First you put the string across the piece of ice. Then put some salt on the ice. Salt makes ice melt(融化). The ice round the string will begin to melt. But when it melts, it will lose heat. The cold ice cube will make the salt water freeze(结冰) again.‎ ‎ After a minute or two you may pick up the piece of string and with it you will raise the piece of ice!‎ ‎ This experiment can be very useful to you. If, for example, there is ice near the door of your house, you must use very much salt to melt all the ice. If you don’t put enough salt, the water will freeze again.‎ ‎71. We must use ______ when we carry out this experiment.‎ ‎ A. some salt B. some food C. a table ‎72.The task of this experiment is to ______.‎ ‎ A. put the ice cube into the glass of water with the help of the string.‎ ‎ B. take out the ice cube in the glass of water with the help of the string.‎ ‎ C. take out the ice cube in the glass of water with your fingers.‎ ‎73.

I do feel a little busier than before. As the big final exam is coming near, I work harder and spend more time on my study. My parents don’t allow me to watch TV or play computer games any more on weekdays, so sometimes I feel boring or not relaxed enough in my life. I used to do sports or play QQ games with my classmates, and I’ve got a lot of fun. I like playing qq games best, however, I know that it’s too much time consuming.

I found a seat and sat down. The bus trip usually takes about 40 minutes, so I tried to recite the English words with my eyes closed. There was an English test in the morning and I wanted to get good grades. But soon I fell asleep! When I woke up, the bus had already passed my school! So I had to get off and took a taxi back to our school. As a result, I was 10 minutes late for the first class and our head teacher Miss Green was mad at me. But luckily, I got good grades in my English test though it was difficult, so I should say I had a bad morning but a lucky day!‎ IV.

If you are patient and good with kids, you can help the kids who have no brothers or sisters. You can look after them when their parents are busy, or just play games with them. You’ll have great time with the kids.‎ Be a helpful teacher. If you do well in your subjects, and you like to be with children, Help the kids with their schoolwork! We believe it will be a good experience for you. ‎ Be a friendly grandchild. Many old people feel lonely because they don’t have kids living with them. So if you are good at communicating with old people, come with us, we will read for the old people, and chat with them!‎ Let’s work together to make the world better!
