Dear Lan Lan ，

I’m now writing to you at Hartsop，a village in the Lake District，a place to have most beautiful scenery(景色) in England，I come here to spend Christmas with an English couple. This was planned for overseas students to know the British ways of life by living with British families.

We came two days before Christmas and during our stay，we have had everything we expected：Christmas turkey，Christmas cake，Christmas puddings，Christmas parties and gifts under the Christmas tree. All are exciting and amusing(有趣的)，but above all these，we are deeply touched by the hospitality(好客) of the family，Roger and Anne Marie.

Anne Marie is a nurse and all these days，she had been busy cooking meals，washing dishes and showing us around. Roger，who is a doctor，knows a lot about China and still wants to know more. He plays us Chinese music and it seems to me he does better in that than we do. In the evenings，we all sit around the fireplace with Tim，a lovely dog，by our side. Like long? time ?no ?see friends，we talk about all the things that have happened or we hope to happen in our lives. There is always so much to tell and to know.

After three months away from home，we are again feeling how sweet a home can be. Roger and Anne Marie are not like most of the other people we have met who always make us feel we are foreigners in a foreign country. They show such kindness to us that they bring us a person?to?person feeling，instead of a British?to?Chinese feeling. They make us believe that though there are differences of languages and cultures，one may always expect to find in every corner of the world the feeling of love and being loved.

How I wish Mum and Dad could meet them! How I wish you were here with me! How strange it is that the more I feel at home here，the more I miss my real home and all of you. We always talk about“when we go back home next year...”and soon we will turn this into“when we go back home THIS year...”for the New Year’s Day is coming. Miss you.

Love，

Gao Wen

At long last, Stefano Boeri Architects’ brilliant Bosco Verticale towers are finally completed.

The towers, measuring 260 feet and 367 feet, house 800 trees between 9 and 30 feet tall, over 4,000 shrubs (灌木) and 15,000 ground cover plants. Bosco Verticale is created with LEED Gold Certification (绿色建筑黄金认证) in mind. 2.

D. However, Bosco Verticale will be more than just a beautiful sight to enjoy.

E. “The real key to this project is biodiversity,” says Boeri.

While dog keepers realize their dogs can read their moods accurately, scientists have always been a little doubtful. Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria, we finally have some convincing evidence.

For their study, biologist Corson Miller and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy. Half the dogs were rewarded for touching the screen when shown a happy face, while the other half got their treat for selecting those that appeared angry.

Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face. Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves. That’s because the scientists believe humans show their emotions on their entire face.

After some training like how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions ,the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face. The researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.

They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn. They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to withdraw quickly. However, once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded, the trepidation seemed to disappear. In fact, the dogs had such a good time playing the computer “game” that scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.

The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a hard time understanding the expressions correctly. Since the touchscreen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies—dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.

1.How did the scientist conduct the experiment?

A. By mixing the selected dogs together.

B. By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry.

C. By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen.

D. By showing digital pictures of women’s happy or angry faces.

2.Which of the following statements is True about the dogs in the study?

A. The dogs were not all provided with the entire face.

B. The dogs couldn’t read strangers’ facial expressions.

C. According to their size, the dogs were given either upper or lower faces.

D. The dogs could make out small changes accompanying facial expressions.

3.The underlined word “trepidation” in paragraph 5 probably means ______

A. curiosity. B. horror.
