Below are some of the letters we've received recently：‎ In Defense of SpongeBob.‎ My class read the story in the September23 issue about fastpaced cartoons versus slowerpaced ones(“All Cartoons Aren't Equal”，9/23 ). My younger brother Gavin has learning problems and can't understand some things. He doesn't understand Caillou because the characters don't talk very much, and Gavin doesn't know what they are doing. He does understand SpongeBob because the characters talk and explain what is going on. So, even though these cartoons are fastpaced, they are good for Gavin.‎ ‎—Noah, 5th Grade, NC Behind the Band.‎ I saw in one of your magazines a story about a band from the small town that I lived in before I moved to North Carolina. The band's name is New Hollow (“Ready to Rock”, 9/30). They're based out of New Albany, Ohio.I saw them in concert before they became popular. Thank you for publishing information on this band. It was really ‎ cool.‎ ‎—Jack P. , 11, NC Saving Landmarks.‎ I am very glad that we are preserving (保护) more historical landmarks (遗址) (“Sites Worth Saving”, 10/17). I think it is very important for our cities to preserve the historical landmarks because they play a very important role in our society by educating people about how things were built before.‎ ‎—‎Harrison Helping Somalia.‎ In an October issue, I read about Somalia (“Somalia: A Cry for Aid”, 10/21 ). It was so sad. I really want to help, but I don't know how. I do have one idea. I am on Girls on the Run, and every season we do a community service project. I thought I could get my team, and eventually, my school involved. I just don't know what to send to the poor people in Somalia. Food doesn't do well in shipping. Money? Supplies like soap and toothpaste?‎ ‎—Amelia,10, MI ‎21．The letters may be provided by ________.‎ A. reporters B. teachers C. readers D. editors ‎22．What can we learn from the letter In Defense of SpongeBob?‎ A.

But the cure to smart phone addiction may lie in an app that rewards users for leaving their phone alone.‎ The new app, called Hold, can detect(检测)when users have used their smart phones and gives them points according to how long they avoid the temptation(引诱)of looking at Facebook, for example. Upon downloading it for free, users receive 10 points for every 20 minutes spent without touching their phone between 7: 00 and 23: 00 every day of the week, with a user email address needed to receive the rewards. To get half price Vue cinema tickets, users need 60 points. For two free coffees from Cafe Nero, users need 300 points, and a glass of juice for 90 points, For £5 Amazon vouchers(代金劵 )users need to have collected 1, 000 points.‎ Hold was created by Maths Mathisen, Florian Winder and Vinoth Vinaya-three Norwegians. They noticed that young people s dependence on their smart phones was getting out of hand while studying at Copenhagen‎ Business ‎School. Rather than punish their users, the three found that the best way to get them to put their phones down was to use tricks that got them interested in the first place.‎ Lots of studies in recent years point to the worrying rise of smart phone addiction and the effects of smart phones on education. Researchers from the London School of Economics found that students who did not use their phones at school found their grades improved by 6.5 percent.‎ Cafe Nero, Amazon and Planet Organic will also offer discounts on the Hold marketplace. Students will also be offered the choice to use points to buy school books which are then donated to some schools.‎ ‎25.

To get one half price Vue cinema ticket and two free coffees from Cafe Nero, a user needs to have _____minutes worth of points.‎ A.120 B‎.180 C.360 D.720‎ ‎28. The purpose of this text is to _______.‎ A. explain why the Hold app is popular among users B. introduce a useful app that can cure phone addiction C. draw public attention to phone addiction among students D. compare some interesting apps that are popular with students C The first newspapers were written by hand and put up on walls in public places. The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700s the world's first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn't have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.‎ The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant . It came out in March, 1702.‎ In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter , the first newspaper published in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1800 daily papers in the United States.‎ Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation (发行量) in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun. It sells more than 10 million copies every day.‎ ‎29.The first regularly published newspaper in Europe was printed in ________.‎ A. England　　　B. Germany C. France D. ‎Sweden ‎30.

The first daily English newspaper came out in March, 1702.‎ ‎ D ‎ For the growing number of Chinese heading west to work and study, there's plenty they find surprising. Upon arrival in the West, many Chinese find they have to firstly put on the brakes. Li Yifeng, raised in northern China and now based in England, agrees. “The only thing Chinese people would be shocked by in Britain is how long it takes to do things，” he says. “For instance, in China if you want to open a bank account, you don't wait, you just do it at the counter.”Outofhours and weekend work is standard in China, but in Britain, the weekend is for family and friends.‎ Jack Chen, who left his homeland 12 years ago and is now a lawyer in Belgium says office politics are simpler in Europe, partly because the hierarchy (等级制度) is less rigid than in China, where the boss really is the boss and social class in the office is very obvious and important. As a result, staff in a Chinese company think very carefully about how to present their views and ideas. Employees in the West can share their opinions more freely. In China you should have the wisdom to say something in an appropriate way. But in Europe you can just say what you want.‎ The newest Chinese arrivals have a very different view to previous generations, according to Sharon Jin, who moved to the US 20 years ago and is now an American citizen. “Almost 100% of people of my generation who came to the States want to get a green card，” she says. “But today younger Chinese plan to work for 10 years here and then return to China to buy a house or look after their parents.” While a record ‎ number of 523,700 students left China to study elsewhere in 2015, roughly 70%—80% of students abroad have been returning in recent years because of the attractive job market at home, according to the Chinese Ministry of Education.‎ ‎32．What do many Chinese find surprising while in Britain?‎ A. That they drive faster than the drivers in Britain.‎ B. That they can open a bank account at any time.‎ C. That working extra hours in Britain is very common.‎ D. That working pace in Britain is less fast than at home.‎ ‎33．It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that ________.‎ A. Jack Chen has been a lawyer in Belgium for 12 years B. employees in the West show less respect for their boss C. Chinese employees are cautious when presenting ideas D. people in Europe express themselves in a modest way ‎34．According to the Chinese Ministry of Education, most students return to China because ______.‎ A. it's hard for them to get a green card B. it's easy for them to buy a house at home C. they will have to look after their parents D. there are more job opportunities in ‎China ‎35．How does the writer organize the text?‎ A. By interviewing students abroad. B. By comparing the differences.‎ C. By discussing some facts. D. By listing some figures.‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ What does it mean to be green?

You can start by visiting the beautiful spots in your city. But before you travel the globe, take a look at your own backyard.
