If you’re worried about getting a seat, park your picnic at the El Dorado Beaches before 9:45 p.m. Or you can take the road less traveled and hike to the top of Mount Tallac for an unforgettable and best view of the display. Just remember you’ll have to hike down, so bring a headlight.DELAWARE: REHOBOTH BEACHLaunched from the beach south of Rehoboth Avenue, these fireworks are visible up and down the boardwalk and beach. So jump on the Jolly Trolley(观光车) early and spend your whole day at the beach. There’s even live music after the fireworks. Note: This year’s fireworks display is scheduled for July 1, 2018.FLORIDA: SERTOMA’S 4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS (PENSACOLA BAY)The Gulf Coast knows how to celebrate the Fourth of July. With vendors, arts and crafts, kid-friendly activities and live entertainment, this fun-filled day in Old Seville culminates(达到高潮) with the largest fireworks display in the area. Unfortunately the pony rides and face painting are only for the kids, though.GEORGIA: DAHLONEGA’S 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATIONPack up your lawn chairs, blankets and coolers and head about an hour outside of Atlanta to the University of North Georgia. It’s even pet friendly — just make sure your dog can take the noise. And if you get to town early enough (11 a.m.), there’s a Fourth of July parade that aims to put all other Fourth of July parades to shame.21. Where is the best spot to watch the fireworks in Lake Tahoe?  A. At the El Dorado Beaches.               B. On the top of Mount Tallac.C. Anywhere all over the town.             D. On the shore of Lake Tahoe.22. Which display is most suitable for children?  A. REHOBOTH BEACH.                     B. LIGHTS ON THE LAKE.C. SERTOMA’S 4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS.   D. DAHLONEGA’S 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION.23. What do Georgians think of their parade?  A. The best.       B. Just so so.         C. Not so bad.        D. Very terrible.B    Plants are living things. So can they feel pain? Plants don't feel pain the same way animals and people do, says Anke Steppuhn. She is a scientist at the Free University of Berlin in Germany. "What we define as pain usually has to do with a nervous system," Steppuhn explains. When you put your hand too close to a hot stove, nerve cells send a signal to your brain. Your brain decodes (解码) that signal as pain. This causes you to pull your hand away before any serious damage is done.
    Plants don't have nerves or brains, so they can't feel pain like we do. "But plants do recognize when something is hurting them," Steppuhn says. Because they are rooted to the ground, they can't escape a dangerous situation. So they need other ways of fighting back.
    The biggest threat to a plant's life is getting eaten. Some plants grow sharp little hairs. Other plants produce bad-tasting or even harmful chemicals. These force an attacker to abandon its meal. A plant called bittersweet nightshade does something even smarter, Steppuhn found. When a slug (蛞蝓) chews holes in a nightshade's leaf, liquid begins dropping around the wound. It is almost as if the plant were bleeding. The liquid is sugary nectar (花蜜), and it happens to be a favorite food of ants. In their effort to collect the nectar, the ants gather all over the injured plants. They will attack anything that stands in their way. That includes the slug that damaged the plant in the first place. It's a very clever trick. Whenever a slug attacks a plant, the plant calls an army of ants to kill the slug.
    Nectar isn't the only way plants attract bodyguards. They also release certain chemicals into the air when they are being eaten. People usually can't find these smells. But wasps (黄蜂) can. When a wasp notices this cry for help, it races to the scene of the crime. If it finds the right kind of insect chewing down on the plant, the wasp will interrupt the attacker's meal. It will do this by laying eggs inside the insect's body.24. Why do plants feel pain differently from us?A. They don't know whether they're hurt．      B. They face different kinds of danger．
C. They don't have nervous systems．         D. They have slow response to pain．25. What does the underlined word "They" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Ants． B. Slugs． C. Plants．     D. Wasps．26. What is the text mainly about?A. How plants feel pain．                  B. How plants attract insects．
C. How plants defend themselves．          D. How plants attack small animals．COther people may have their own ideas about our lives． We can value their advice， but we don't have to take it to heart．
  Our parents have dreams for us． They want us to do well in school and to do whatever is necessary to reach our highest potential （潜力）． Later in life， friends may try to set us up with their ideas of the perfect partner or the perfect job． People close to us may have ideas about how we should live our lives， ideas that usually come from love and the desire for us to be happy． Other times， they come from a place of need within them whether it is a parent who wants us to live out his or her dreams or a friend who wants us to play a good role． Whatever the case， we can appreciate and consider those people's advice， but ultimately we must follow our own guidance．
  There may come a time when all the suggestions can become overbearing （专横的）． We may feel that the people we love don't agree on our judgment， which can hurt our feelings． It can affect the choices we make for our lives by making us doubt ourselves before we've had a chance to decide what we want． We can tell our loved ones how much we appreciate their thoughts and ideas， but that we need to live our own lives and make our own decisions． We can explain that they need to let us learn from our own experiences． When they see that we are happy with our lives and the path we are taking to reach our goals， they can make sure that all we need them to do is to share in our joy．27. People close to us often tell us ideas to show their ______ ．A. power       B. concern C. Potential      D. happiness28. When a friend's advice is overbearing， we may feel ______ ．A. determined     B. frightened          C. doubtful       D. grateful29.

    So glad to hear from you! I'm delighted that you are concerned about the most popular downloaded app Tik Tok (Douyin) among Chinese students nowadays.
    Tik Tok is an app of short video platform where people can show and share their life in a relaxing and lively way. On the one hand, it can enrich people's life and relieve people of pressure to some degree. On the other hand, it may make people addicted to it so deeply that it can waste too much time and make their life circle smaller, affecting their real life and devotion to work.
    Therefore, only when we use Tik Tok in an appropriate way can it benefit us most. Would you please introduce some interesting apps to me?
    Best wishes!
                                              Yours sincerely,
