Dear Jack：
I'm writing to share with you my experience at the weekend．（点明书信目的）I took part in a volunteer activity．My duty was to clean a busy street which is about four hundred meters long．After I got up at seven o'clock，sleepy，I went out without a second thought．Cleaning the street seems easy，but sometimes it is very dangerous as you have to be careful of passing cars and bikes．I threw myself onto the bed as soon as I got back home in the afternoon．（记叙活动过程）It was not until then that I realized how great street cleaners are．So I hope everyone should keep our surroudings clean so as to reduce cleaners abandon．All drivers must have an eye on cleaners cleaning the street especially at dawn．（（自己的收获）
What about your weekend？Please tell me in your next email．
Regards，Li Hua．

17．Over the years，I have met some interesting people．Two of（61）themost interesting people were two elderly sisters，Joan and Bernice，（62）whoseway of talking about people inspired me．
It was always a （63）pleasure （pleasant） to visit these two sisters．Just being greeted at the door was a joy．They couldn't be （64）happier（happy） when seeing me．I always heard about the people who were there before me．Every person （65）was talked（talk） about in a positive way．The conversation would go something like this，"Oh，Kay，so and so was here yesterday，she （66）Is （be） just the‘salt of the earth'，isn't she？"The other sister would reply，"Oh yes!You just can't believe （67）how wonderful she is．"I never heard they said a negative word about anyone．NEVER!
I understood why these two had so much company when other people complained that no one cared about （68）them（they）．It was their attitude （69）towardspeople．There was no doubt that when the next person came to visit，they were going to hear how I was the"salt of the earth"．
What a wonderful example these two elderly sisters were to me!I will always be（70）thankful（thank） that I had the opportunity to know them．

16．Having met someone interesting，you may want to learn more about that person．（36）E However，it will be easy to do with some careful plans．（37）A If you show the person who you are，he or she can easily expose himself or herself to you．You can also learn about the interests of the person by displaying yours．
Pay attention to the person's reactions to different incidents．（38）GEvery day you have many chances to see what the person does when different things happen．This will help you to see through the person．
Pay attention to the person's body language．Observe if the person is facing you or looking at you frequently．（39）F
Ask personal but not too deep questions．Be sure to make it natural； otherwise，it won't make the person willing to continue the conversation．
（40）DThere is a saying that"birds of a feather flock（聚集）together"，and it is often true．Spending time with these friends may help you to really learn more about the person．

A．Show the person who you are．
B．Don't ask any private questions．
C．Show your kindness to the person first．
D．Finally，hang out with the person's close friends．
E．Without any guidance，you may not know how to do it．
F．If the gestures seem nervous，they might mean something bad．
G．Getting to know someone better is more than just knowing what the person says．

15．Technology improves our lives but ruins those of everyone who hangs out with us．I spend nearly as much of my life waiting for people I'm with to answer a call，text back or finish a tweet（发帖）as they do waiting for me．
I've already known that owning Google Glass---the eyeglasses with a computer attached---will completely turn my life into a virtual reality（虚拟实境）exactly like moving my cell phone fives inches closer to my face．What I need to know is what it's like to communicate with someone who's wearing Google Glass．
I invited Heather Anne Campbell to have lunch with me and wear her Google Glass the whole time．Heather，a comedian who appears on the new Whose Line Is It Away？，is one of about 8000people Google chose to buy the $ 1500 device before it's made available to the public．
I did not think our lunch would go well since I'm one of the few people who believe putting your phone on the table suggests that you don't think I can tell a story as well as someone without a face or body．
When Heather arrived，I noticed that while she is very attractive，she looks even better wearing her Google Glass．Shortly after sitting down，Heather told me that she would never actually wear these glasses to a lunch．"It's a social threat．"She explained，since by moving her head or saying an order，she could make the glasses shoot video or，worse，look me up on Wikipedia，which would certainly end lunch early．Besides，you can't be nearly as secret with Glass as I thought：I could find when the tiny screen over her left eye was on，so I'd know immediately if she wasn't really paying attention．
It's not the technology that makes the Glassbole （a person who talks to their Google Glass often without noticing the outside world ）； it's the person using the technology．There's a chance that by making the first Glass wearers hand in plans on how they'd use them，they'll set a good example．Maybe，in fact，Google will be responsible enough to never sell me one．

32．Why did the author invite Heather to lunch？D
A．To borrow her Google Glass．
B．To talk about her new comedy．
C．To interview her about the user experience．

A．Google Glass is bad for interpersonal communication．
B．Google Glass causes great harm to her health．
C．Conversation can't go on with Google Glass．
D．One has no secrets with Google Glass．

14．NEW YORK-Picking a Christmas tree takes most people a few minutes，or a couple of hours if they head for the woods．Dave Murbach needs 11 months．
Almost every day of every year，Murbach's thoughts turn to vision of a perfectly shaped evergreen tree that will take everyone's breath away．
Murbach is the man responsible for finding the towering tree that makes more attractive Manhattan's Rockefeller Center each Christmas season．
"I'm always looking for a tree，"the center's chief gardener says．"I look for it even when I go to the beach in the summer．It's like a homework assignment hanging over your head．"
And if he gets it wrong，there's nothing hiding it．
"Every day it's up，400，000 people go by，and 2.5 million people watch the lighting celebration on television，"he says．
This year's tree，a 74-foot Nomy spruce （云杉） from Richfield，Ohio，flown to New York on the world's largest cargo plane，was lighted on December 2．
The arrival of the tree leads in the Christmas season in New York-a tradition dating back to 1931，when the workers building Rockefeller Center put up a small tree with ornaments．
The search for the next year's tree starts soon after the old tree is chopped up for wood chips and horse-jumping logs．
Murbach has three standards：The tree must be at least 65feet high，at least 35feet across and leaves dense enough not to see through．
That's not as simple as it sounds．Though forests are full of evergreens，few get enough sunlight or space to fill out．And branches in snow regions often break under the weight，making trees unbalanced．
Back at the office，he sorts through hundreds of letters from people offering their trees，many addressed simply to"Mr．Christmas Tree Man．"
Though there was occasional anxiety attack and sleepless night，Murbach knows the effect the tree has on people："It's for bringing people together，attempting to bring together people you love．That's what I hope it sets off．"But Murbach says he's always too worn out to celebrate Christmas．

C．c，d，e，b，a，f
D．a，f，c，d，b，e

A．Because he wants everyone to be happy with his choice．
B．Because he hopes to make everybody unable to breathe．

13．Last week I visited one of my old neighborhoods in Washington D．C．I had not been there for twenty years and as I walked along the street，my mind was flooded by memories of the past．I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played．As I viewed these once familiar surroundings，images of myself as a child there came to mind．However，what I saw and what I remembered were not the same．I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched．
My old apartment building，as I remember，was bright and alive．It was more than just a place to live．It was a movie house，a space station，or whatever my young mind could imagine．I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement．This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark，and there were so many things there to hide among．There was a small river in the back of the building．We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves．
However，what I saw was completely different．The apartment building was now in disrepair．What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in．The windows were all broken．The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks．The river was hardly recognizable．The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead．The once sweet-smelling river now smelled terrible．It was really heartbreaking to see all this．
I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood．However，I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same．I suppose it is true when they say，"You can never go home again．"
