I ordered some snacks on my phone before leaving my office. When I got home, I saw they were already at my door. So fast!
Have you ever thought about how people in the past communicated and did things without mobile phones?
Take the post for example. Before phones, if you wanted to stay in touch with someone far away, you needed to send them a letter in the mail. When my mom was in primary school, she used to do this with her “pen pal”. A pen pal is a name for a person you keep in touch with mainly through postal mail. My mom would write to her pen pal every few months, and then, after a little while, her pen pal would write back.
Later, once email became a common thing, sending letters in the post felt so slow to people. It became known as “snail mail”.
What if you were at an airport in the time before mobile phones? My dad said that in the 1970s there used to be message boards at some airports. If you needed to exit (离开) the airport and wanted to leave a message for a friend who would be arriving later, you could write them a message and stick it on the message board. Then, your friend could go to check the board later and see what you wrote to them!
39．How did the writer’s mom keep in touch with her pen pal?
A．By writing diaries. B．By mailing letters.
C．By talking on phones. D．By visiting every few months.
40．Why does the writer use “snail mail” in Paragraph 4?
A．To say that postal mail was famous.
B．To say that email was a common thing.
C．To make fun of people still sending letters.
D．To say that postal mail was very slow.
41．Where could people leave messages at some airports in the 1970s?
A．At the information desk. B．On the door of the exit.
C．On the message boards. D．On the boarding gate of the plane.
42．What is the story mainly about?
A．How people stayed in touch before. B．The importance of communication.
C．Ways of making friends in the past. D．How fast it is to buy things nowadays.

Dear Mr. Black,
I’m willing to let you know that I ran over your dog on Friday afternoon.

I knocked on your door but I could see that no one was home. I could not see where the dog had gone, and with my student so ill I had no choice but to leave the scene (现场) and drive on.
You must allow me to pay for his medical care. I would be thankful if you could make a list of all costs resulting from the accident. I plan to visit and offer my apologies in person.

Water is life’s most basic need, but the water crisis(危机) is happening all over the world.
Let’s look at a family caught in the water crisis. It’s possible that they live on less than a dollar a day. When they’re thirsty, they can’t get a glass of cold water at once. Instead, the women and children go off to collect water. Many walk up to three hours a day to the nearest river to collect water.
Time spent collecting water is time they can’t spend learning to read, write, make money or take care of their family. Some women in Africa spend more time collecting water than on any other activity they do in the day. And the journey to get water is dangerous. Many even get hurt. When they make it home, the little water they’ve collected isn’t clean. Some families know their water is polluted, but what choice do they have?
The water crisis is horrible, but we can help solve it. Just 20 dollars can provide one person with a chance to be in a clean water project. And this will mean more than clean water because water changes everything.
47．A family caught in the water crisis ________.
A．spend less than a dollar on clean water B．sit in the open and wait to get water
C．have to walk a long way to get water D．can only get a glass of cold water a day

The British are known to be great sports lovers. When they are neither playing nor watching games, they like to talk about them. Many of the games we play now come from Britain.
The British like all kinds of races, including dog races, boat races. The famous boat race between the teams of Oxford and Cambridge interests large crowds of people.
One of the most typical (典型的) British games is cricket (板球运动). It is often played in schools, colleges, universities, and by club teams all over the country. Summer isn’t summer without cricket. To many British people, cricket is both a game and a standard of behavior. When they consider something unfair, they may say, “It’s not cricket.”

Every Saturday from late August until the beginning of May, large crowds of people support their favorite sides on football fields. True fans will travel one end of the country to the other to see their favorite team play. There are a lot of professional football clubs all over Britain.
The British also like to play baseball, golf, hockey, and grass-hockey. Many other sports, such as running, jumping, swimming, boxing, are also popular.

How to be Successful
When asked whether they want to be successful, many people will say yes. But what is success?
For me, it is setting goals and finally achieving them. For example, I want to be a teacher when I grow up, because I think it is great to share knowledge with others. In order to realize my dream, I will start off by making a clear plan and listing what I should do, and then complete it step by step.
I believe I will be successful because I will never give up even if there are a lot of difficulties.
