Dear Carl,

I¡¯m delighted to hear from you and I will tell you what you¡¯re curious about. Square dance becomes more popular than anytime before. However, it¡¯s a little different from the dance you are familiar with. In the morning or after dinner, people, especially elderly women, will gather in squares to dance to popular music. More and more young people are also joining in now.

There are many reasons behind its popularity. First of all, China has made great progress in its social and economical development in the past decades, and people have more time and energy to enjoy themselves. Besides, doing the square dance is a good way for people to get fit.

However, because dancers play loud music and occupy lots of public places, they annoy many people. Maybe square dancers need to make some changes.

Yours,

Li Jin

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿I climbed Kilimanjaro with Lava Expeditions (̽ÏÕ¶Ó) during the rainy season.

I flew to Nairobi in Kenya and spent several days there. At my hotel in Nairobi I met the rest of the group with whom I would spend the next week. We all travelled on the bus together for a 6-hour journey into Tanzania and then Arusha, a quiet town.

The next day the Lava Expeditions members checked if we had the correct and enough clothing for our expedition on Kilimanjaro. Only one person needed to bring more clothes.

After that we set off, walking in the rain through the beauty of the rainforest, all the way to the first camp. I was happy the next few days as the view was so wonderful and changed every day. I suffered a little during the trip and I felt so tired. But the members of Lava Expeditions provided me with lots of encouragement, which was one of the best memories.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five fays off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I¡¯d hitch a ride (´î±ã³µ).

I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn¡¯t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured £¨Ê¹¡­·ÅÐÄ£©me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.

Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the kindness I¡¯d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.

After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, ¡°You haven¡¯t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.¡± I couldn¡¯t remember where I¡¯d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿All hotels redecorate regularly. However, very few do it as frequently as Sweden¡¯s Icehotel. As the name indicates£¬the hotel that is located in the remote village of Jukkasjarvi, is built entirely from ice and£¬therefore£¬has to be rebuilt annually! The 26th version of Icehotel, which welcomed its first visitors on December 11th£¬features 69 rooms. To make them affordable for everyone, they range from expensive luxury suites to basic accommodations.

Among this year¡¯s unique suite offerings is the¡°Elephant in the Room¡±£¬which features a massive 3-m tall sculpted African elephant overlooking an ice¡ªframed bed. The¡°Counting Sheep¡±suite features frozen sheep that may help those who don¡¯t sleep well get a good night¡¯s rest. Though the atmosphere between the luxury suites and the budget rooms may differ£¬they are all subject to the bone-chilling-5¡æ temperatures. To get a good night¡¯s rest guests have to lie inside sleeping bags and keep their gloves and hats on. Though that seems a little uncomfortable£¬visitors say it is an experience like none other.

The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in ice glasses. Though dining options are limited to the hotel¡¯s only restaurant£¬guests will have little to complain about with Michelin¡ªtrained chef Alexander Meier. To keep customers entertained£¬the hotel offers a variety of fun activities like snowshoeing£¬moose or snowmobile safaris£¬dog sledding£¬and even overnight wilderness camping.

The 26-year-¡¤old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to draw winter visitors to the remote village that lies 200 km north of the Arctic Circle. Among the many tourists was an adventurous group and they announced their intention of spending the night in the place where the exhibition was being held. That¡¯s when the idea of building the icy accommodations dawned on the locals.

¡¾1¡¿Why is Sweden¡¯s Icehotel rebuilt every year?

A. It needs more rooms.

B. It is entirely built from ice.

C. It follows old traditions

D. It can be easily decorated.

¡¾2¡¿What is unique about the hotel this year?

A. It opens earlier than ever before.

B. More expensive rooms are available.

C. Room prices are more affordable.

D. Some rooms have theme sculptures.

¡¾3¡¿What can be inferred about the hotel in Paragraph 3?

D. Its food is not delicious at a11.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿Rosie Dutton, a teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, UK, used two apples to show her students the often unseen but harmful effects of school bullying(У԰ÆÛÁè). She postedthe lesson on Facebook, where it'sbeen shared more than 160,000 times.

Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes shepresented the children with two red apples. What the kidsdidn¡¯t know was that before the lesson, she had repeatedlydroppedone of the appleson the floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect.

¡°I picked up the apple I¡¯d dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple,¡± Dutton wrote. ¡°I told them that because I didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either, so they should call it names too.¡±Some of the children looked at her as if she were ¡°crazy¡±, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names.

Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showered with words like: ¡°Your skin is beautiful,¡± and ¡° what a beautiful colour you have.¡±

Dutton then showed thestudents both apples once again, stressing that ¡°there was no change, and both apples still looked the same.¡±

Finally, Dutton cut both apples open. The apple that the class treated kindly looked fresh inside. But the other apple¡ªthe one they¡¯d treated poorly ¡ªwas bruised£¨ðöÉ˵Ä) beneath its skin.

¡°I think there was a light bulb moment for the children immediately,¡± Dutton said. ¡°When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don¡¯t show or tell others how they are feeling. If we hadn¡¯t have cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it.¡±

Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying.

¡°Let¡¯s create a generation of kind caring children,¡± the teacher wrote. ¡°The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.¡±

¡¾1¡¿What had the teacher done to the first apple before the lesson?

A. She had introduced it to the kids.

B. She had coloured it brightly.

C. She had made it look perfect.

D. She had damaged it purposely.

¡¾2¡¿What does the underlined part ¡°calling it names¡± (Para. 3) mean?

A. Shouting at it. B. Making fun of it.

C. Cheering for it. D. Saying rude things.

¡¾3¡¿What did the teacher tell the kids to do with the second apple?

A. Drop it. B. Praise it.

C. Ignore it. D. Respect it.

¡¾4¡¿What¡¯s the purpose of the teacher¡¯s using two apples in class?

A. To draw the kids¡¯ attention.

B. To explain her personal preferences.

C. To help the kids understand the results of bullying.

D. To make a comparison between them.
