Meeting Anne

Matthew Cuthbert was on his way to Bright River on his horse and carriage. He was a quiet man who didn’t speak much, especially to strangers. So, he enjoyed the journey and the smell of the apple trees in silence. He reached Bright River but there was no sign of the 5:30 train which he’d come for. Matthew asked the station manager if it would come soon.

“It came half an hour ago,” answered the manager. “There was one passenger. She’s sitting over there.”

“I don’t understand. I’m not expecting a girl,” said Matthew. “It’s a boy that I’ve come for.”

“Guess there’s some mistake,” he said. “Talk to the girl.    ▲    That’s for sure.”

Matthew looked at her. She wore an old brown hat which covered two braids of very long, thick, red hair. Her face was small and thin with lots of freckles (雀斑). Her big green eyes looked back at him.

Matthew began walking over but as soon as she saw him walking her way, she started the conversation.

“I suppose you’re Mr. Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables?” she said in a clear, sweet voice. “I’m Anne. I’m so glad to see you. I was afraid you weren’t coming and I was imagining all the things that might have happened to you. If you didn’t come for me tonight, I made up my mind to go down the road to that cherry tree at the corner, climb up it and stay all night. I wouldn’t be afraid and it would be lovely to sleep in a wild cherry tree all white at night, don’t you think?”

This girl was different.

“I’m sorry I’m late,” he said shyly. “Come on. Give me your bag.”

As they rode home, Anne talked on and on. Normally, too much talking would make Matthew angry, but from Anne, he didn’t mind. She apologized but Matthew didn’t want her to stop.

“Oh, you can talk as much as you like. I don’t mind,” said Matthew.

Bicycles have long been used for transportation in China. But recently, cycling has become popular because of the result of restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pandemic has made cycling more popular as officials closed some gymnasiums or places for exercise.

Linda Mo could not exercise indoors in May because of the pandemic. So, she started cycling and soon loved the sport. “I realized a racing bicycle was quite different than a regular bike,” she said, adding, “It’s very fast and exciting ...”

For cyclist Yang Lan, the sport also provides an escape from the daily difficulties of life. “With the pandemic ... it seems to be the only way for us to run away from the terrible city life ...” she said.

Naturally the growth in cycling has increased the demand for bicycles. Beijing stores’ sales rose 20 to 30 percent from March to June, compared to the same period last year. Zhou Fuyuan, the founder of Magic Cycling, said China’s bicycle market was a $12 to $15 billion industry in 2021. Research and Markets predict that the sales could reach $16.5 billion by 2026.

Because of increasing demand and worldwide supply chain problems, people must wait weeks or months to get one. For every Specialized bicycle sold in Beijing at least 10 customers are waiting for their bicycles to arrive, Joanna Lei chose to pay more for bicycle available. She said the money was better spent than on a luxury bag. “What you are investing in is your own body and a very good habit,” she said. Lei added, “I think it is more valuable than clothes that you wear or handbags that you use.”

People will have more choices for sports and entertainment when the pandemic is over. But Feng says he expects cycling to remain popular because of China’s growing health concerns and awareness of environmental protection.

“Such a lifestyle is probably healthier and is more beneficial to society,” Yang said. She added, “I think people now have a good sense of environmental protection and hope to do good for society.”

33. Which of the following is NOT the reason why cycling has become popular in China?

A. Because cycling gives people an escape from the daily difficulties of life.

B. Because officials closed some places for exercise during the pandemic.

C. Because cycling is more valuable than a luxury bag.

D. Because people’s health concerns have increased.

34. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to?

A. The environment B. Cycling C. A good habit D. A bicycle

35. The writer lists lots of numbers in the passage ________.

A. to explain why the price of bicycle is rising

B. to state the growing demand of bicycles in China

C. to compare bicycles sales before and after the pandemic

D. to show people’s increasing awareness of environmental protection

36. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Cycling is fast and exciting. B. Cycling is good for our health.

C. Cycling is beneficial to the society. D. Cycling has become more popular in China.

When is a dollar worth much more than a dollar? When can a mistake make something worth much more? What gets more valuable with age? Numismatic experts love to discuss these questions!

When most people consider the value of paper money, they take a quick look at the face value. (The face value is the value printed on the money itself.) A numismatic expert takes a much closer look!

Becoming a numismatic expert requires attention to details. There are many words, pictures and numbers on each dollar bill. One thing a numismatic expert will consider when looking at paper money is the type of currency (货币). At the top of most U.S. dollars, you will see the words Federal Reserve Note. On a very small number of bills, you may see the words Silver Certificate. Before 1968, a Silver Certificate could be changed for silver. So don’t spend that bill because it is probably worth more than a dollar.

Next, a numismatic expert is likely to take a look at the serial numbers on the bill. The serial number is printed both on the bottom left and on the upper right of most U.S. dollars. If the serial numbers do not match, the dollar bill is worth much more than a dollar. Bills with certain serial numbers are also likely to be worth more than their face value. For example, a bill with a repeating serial number, such as 5555555 is in high demand. This makes it worth much more than a dollar. A bill with an asterisk (*) before the serial number notes that there was an error before production of the bill. This asterisk often makes the bill more valuable.

If any of the numbers or pictures on a dollar bill are shifted, not printed exactly where they should be, the value of the bill increases greatly, which makes it have a very high collection value. There is much more to learn about numismatics. If you would like to become a numismatic expert, the first step is to take a closer look at the money that passes through your hands. Good luck!

37. What does the underlined phrase “Numismatic experts” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Experts on studying money and currency.

B. Experts on teaching people to earn money.

C. Experts on studying numbers and maths.

D. Experts on designing bills and notes.

38. Which of the following dollar bill values most?

A. A bill with clear and beautiful pictures.

B. A bill with Federal Reserve Note at the top.

C. A bill with an asterisk before the serial number.

D. A bill with a certain serial number, like 8650983.

39. What does Paragraph 3 tell us?

A. What should be required to become a numismatic expert.

B. What words, pictures and numbers are on each dollar bill.

C. The type of currency influences the value of the paper money.

D. Silver Certificate note is worth more than Federal Reserve note.

40. In what kind of magazine can you probably read this article?

A. Geography. B. Travel. C. History. D. Collection.
