¡¾´ð°¸¡¿Dear Tom,

How time flies! It has been a month since you came to Beijing. How is everything going on with your life and study now?

What excites me most is that I will go to Beijing to attend an English speech contest to be held in summer holiday in July for middle school students. But unfortunately, I'm encountering many difficulties in collecting materials needed and I also have problems in the application of the language. I wonder if you can help me with these difficulties. I really appreciate it if you could help me.

Here is good news for you. I've decided to go to see you after the English speech contest. I am looking forward to seeing you.

Best wishes to you and your parents!

Yours,

Li Hua

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿Amazing Facts About ELF Owls

The elf owl is mostly found in the southwestern parts of the United States and Mexico. During the spring and summer seasons, it moves to Arizona and New Mexico. It returns to Mexico for the winter. The elf owl doesn¡¯t build its own nest. It lives in tree holes.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿At the end of every year, Time picks the best 25 inventions that are ¡°making the world better and smarter¡±. Here we have picked three of this year¡¯s inventions that could be a part of your life in the near future.

The levitating(Ðü¸¡µÄ) lightbulb

This special lightbulb was invented by US artist and scientist Simon Morris. He got the idea of making a lightbulb float from hoverboards(Ðü¸¡»¬°å)£¬which he used to dream of having as a kid.

But the floating is not the most amazing part. The rejection force between the opposite ends of the magnets(´ÅÌú)£¬which were put in the bottom of the bulb and in the wooden base, does the job. What¡¯s new here is a technology called induction (µç´Å¸ÐÓ¦). It allows the lightbulb to get power from the base even they are not in contact.

Shoes that tie themselves

They¡¯re not what you think-shoelaces that tie themselves in the way we tie them. Instead, the new shoes have small motors that control their laces. When you step in them, your feet will hit a sensor£¨´«¸ÐÆ÷£©in the shoes and the motor will automatically tighten the laces.

But the shoes weren¡¯t just designed for lazy people¡¯s needs. They could actually give athletes an advantage during competition. They are also useful for people who cannot move their arms or fingers easily.

The no-touch thermometer

Taking your body temperature usually means putting a thermometer (ÌåμÆ) in your armpits (Ò¸ÎÑ) and staying still for minutes. It may be easy for you, but it¡¯s an impossible task for little kids.

Now, with the new thermometer, users can simply put it 2.5 centimeters from a patient¡¯s forechead and press the button, and it can get the reading in two seconds.

¡¾1¡¿The levitating lightbulb is special in that ________.

A. floating is the most amazing part of the levitating lightbulb

B. the inventor of the levitating lightbulb is more than a scientist

C. it makes use of the rejection force between opposite ends of magnets

D. induction allows the lightbulb to get power even when unconnected with the base

¡¾2¡¿How is the no-touch thermometer different from other ones?

A. It makes it easier to take kid¡¯s temperature.

B. You need wait two minutes for the reading.

C. You don¡¯t need to press the button.

D. It should be put in one¡¯s armpit.

¡¾3¡¿In which part of a newspaper can you possibly read this text?

A. Education. B. Sports. C. Science. D. Entertainment.
