Only a few people in Toronto have the luck to live within walking distance from their workplace. For the rest of us, commuting(乘车上下班) is a rather unpleasant daily necessity.

So how do you avoid a traffic jam in Toronto?You can do it in the old way and listen to one of the radio stations that give regular updates about the traffic situation in Toronto’s streets. Seeing the big picture of Toronto’s traffic and knowing when and where heavy traffic occurs is a must. We prepared three short videos showing the overall traffic situation in Toronto from dawn to night. You can click them and watch.

Friday traffic in Toronto is quite fast in the early morning, with only a few hot spots showing up at the major junctions (交叉点) at 7：00 am. The morning traffic jam starts light at 7：30 and the traffic gradually slows down to reach a breaking point at 8：30. The roads are quite free afterwards, only Allen Road is likely to be jammed around lunchtime from 11：30 am to 12：00 noon. It comes as no surprise that Friday afternoon brings heavy traffic as early as 1：00 pm, mainly on the Don Valley Parkway. You won’t have a good time getting away from the city from 4：00 pm to 6：30 pm, as there is a good chance to get caught in a traffic jam. The traffic in Toronto is quite heavy on a Friday night. I hope you will have a nice Friday night in the city and a safe journey home this Friday!

Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani student and education activist who began speaking out for girls’ education at the age of 11. After surviving an assassination (暗杀) at the age of 15, she co-founded the Malala Fund with her father to create a world where girls everywhere could be educated without fear. Her fund supports every girl’s right to 12 years of free, safe, quality education and works mainly in countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Nigeria.

Malala believes girls are the best investment (投资) in the future peace and further development of our world. It will never be a wrong choice to spend money on girls.

In 2014 the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded Kailash Satyarthi and Malala Yousafzai the Nobel Peace Prize for their fight against the suppression (镇压) of children and young people and for the right of all children to education. Malala became the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Accepting the award, Malala said, “This award is not just for me. It is for those forgotten children who want education. It is for those frightened children who want peace. It is for those voiceless children who want change.”

In her new picture book, Malala’s Magic Pencil, Malala returns to her childhood to teach young readers about the importance of hope, believing in magic, and making the world a better place.

Malala’s first book, her personal life story co-written with Christina Lamb, I Am Malala: How One Girl Stood Up for Education and Changed the World, was published in 2013. She is also the subject of the 2015 film He Named Me Malala.

Over the centuries the French have lost a number of famous battles with the British. However, they’ve always felt superior in the kitchen. France has for centuries had a reputation for cooking excellence, and Britain for some of the worst cooking in the world. But according to a recent survey, that reputation may no longer reflect reality.

In the survey, 71% of the Britons said they cook at home every day, while only 59% of the French said they cook daily. British home cooks spend more time cooking each week and also produce a greater variety of dishes than French home cooks.

The reaction in London was predictably enthusiastic. British food has greatly improved since the 1990s. Once upon a time, the menu for many family meals would have been roast beef, potatoes and over-cooked vegetables, but not now. Home cooks are experimenting with the huge range of ingredients now available in British supermarkets and are preparing all kinds of new dishes, using the cookbooks that sell millions of copies every year. As a result, there’s much more diversity in British food now, compared to French food, which tends to be very traditional.

Some French people say that the survey did not show the whole picture. They agree that during the week French women don’t cook as much as they used to because most of them work and don’t have much time. They tend to buy ready-made or frozen dishes, but many of them make up for it on the weekend. There’s also a difference between Paris and the countryside. It’s true that people in Paris don’t cook much, but elsewhere, cooking is still at the heart of daily life.

For many French people, opinions about British food have not changed. When Bernard Blier, the food editor at a magazine, was asked about British food, he replied: “I don’t go out of my way to try it. It is not very refined. You can say that I’m not a fan at all.”

12. According to the passage, nowadays British people ______.

A. cook less at home than the French every day.

B. no longer eat roast beef and over-cooked vegetables.

C. are more willing to try cooking all kinds of new foods.

D. buy more cookbooks than French people do.

13. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?

A. French women cook less often now.

B. The French prefer ready-made dishes.

C. French women seldom cook on the weekend.

D. Cooking is at the heart of people’s life in Paris.

14. What is Bernard’s attitude towards British food?

A. He would love to try it. B. He shows no interest in it.

C. He considers it worse than before. D. He considers it better than before.

15. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. The history of British food. B. The history of French food.

C. The change in British food. D. The change in French food.

Nine-year-old Dyami loved to visit his grandfather’s house. The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees(棕榈树) with green coconuts (椰子)hanging from them. Dyami liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa’s place.

Grandpa had planted a few palm trees near the front door and today they had become large, massive trees with thick trunks. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard.

One night, Dyami was awakened by a strange sound. Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung(附着) to his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, “ It’s an earthquake!” They ran outside the house. They thought that would be safe.

However, there was a louder sound, the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, “The sea is rising! The sea is rising!” The villagers started running away from the beach. Dyami watched stupidly .

The waves were rising higher and higher. Dyami thought, “ How big the waves are!” He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared. Dyami remembered his mother telling him long ago, “You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near.” He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water came surging(汹涌) in.
