Atkinson was born in the north of England in 1955. He went to very good schools and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in Electrical Engineering. While studying for a Master’s degree (硕士学位) at Oxford University, he fell in love with acting and comedies and joined a theater company. He took his comedy shows to the Edinburgh Festival in 1976 and performed on the street.

After university, Atkinson got a lucky break and made comedy shows for a British TV company. He quickly went on to appear in the comedy show Not the Nine o'clock News. This made him one of Britain’s most popular comedians. From 1993, he performed in the successful Black Adder series(系列) in which he was one of the writers.

Mr. Bean performed on New Year’s Day, 1990. It was just a one-off (一次性的) show at first. The character was a success and Atkinson made more shows in the 1990s.

My car is parked on the street. As I get in, someone opens my door. It's a man holding a gun.

"Get out of the car!" he barks.

I step out. Another man pushes me into the backseat. We begin driving.

"Where's your money?" one shouts.

"I only have $400 in my account. You can check it through my phone and here's my password," I say. "You can have anything you want. Just let me get back to my family."

"If you're lying," he says, "I'll kill you."

When they see I'm not lying, they ask if my friend has money at the house where they picked me up.

"Maybe, " I say. "If he does, he'll give you whatever he has."

We drive back to my friend's house. I am led to the door, feeling a gun against my back. Before my friend opens the door, one man suddenly rushes me back into the car. I hear them arguing, wondering if my friend has called the police.

Now we're driving, and I have no idea where we are. I try to think of my mum, who is all I have left.

Then the car stops. I'm pulled out and pushed onto the road. I tell myself I can't die this way. Just then, I hear the sound of a police car, so do the men. They jump into my car and speed away. I'm left alone. I am alive.

I stand up and run to a car park, where the lights are on. I knock on a door.

A man opens the door, with a handgun.

"I've just been robbed and kidnapped," I say. "Can you please call the police?"

"Go away," he shouts. I turn back to run.

I run to a gas station. The light is on, but nobody is there. The pay phone has a broken line hanging from it. I fall to the ground, crying hopelessly, when a couple pulls in.

"Are you OK?" the woman asks.

"I was robbed and kidnapped," I say. "Please, I just need some help."

"That's all you need me to do?" she says in a motherly way. "We're going to wait for the police to get here."

【4】Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?

A: Three years has gone by. How time flies!

B: Yes.【1】

A: Sure. It was a pity that it was raining hard as we met on the first day.

B: But you looked beautiful with an umbrella.

A: Really?【2】

B: 【3】

A: Yes, I’m going back home in a week.

B: 【4】

A: By air, of course.

B: I hope you will have a good journey【5】

A: OK. I will phone you as soon as I arrive home.

Thank you.

Are you going back home?

How will you go back home?

Remember to give me a call when you arrive home.

Do you still remember the first day we met?

Why do we always say things we later wish we could take back, and why do we only say the things we wish to say when it's too l【1】 ?

I often think of things I wish I had told my mother. I spent the l【2】 few days of her life at her bedside telling her the things I'd wanted to tell her for years, that she was a good mother and I was proud to be her d【3】 .

My dad was also a man of few words, but he m【4】 what he said. He always ended our calls with "Love you, girl."

Those were the words I would cling to when I learned he had died. I had all sorts of questions I never asked him, b【5】 I never doubted his love.

Now, I have children and grandchildren of my own, and it seems like my husband and I are forever telling them how m【6】 they mean to us. They might get sick of it, but we'll n【7】 stop-we need to say it and they need to hear it. From late December to mid-February, we celebrate 11 b【8】 in our big family. Last week, for example, we phoned my youngest son to wish him happy birthday.

I listened as my husband told our son how proud he is of the man and h【9】 and father that he's become, and what a pleasure it has been watching him grow up.

He ended the call, as always, with "I love you, buddy."

And I shouted, "Me, too! " I hope he h【10】 me.

When we tell someone what they mean to us, we just need to mean it and make sure they hear it.

The best time to say "I love you" is always right now.

China and Western countries may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have reached a(n)【1】that pigs are ugly, lazy, stupid and shameless.

But the【2】 is that pigs do have some finer qualities. And it’s a proper time to clear their names now, with the arrival of the Year of the Pig on【3】 Spring Festival, which falls on Feb. 5 this year.

For starters, science long ago showed that pigs aren’t stupid at all. According to a paper published in 2017 in the International Journal of Comparative Psychology, pigs are similar to dogs and chimpanzees (黑猩猩) . They like to play. They have good long-term 【4】. And they know the difference between those who treat them 【5】 and those who don’t.

There are lovely pig characters in cartoons,too. Peppa Pig (小猪佩奇), for example, a UK animated television series that began in 2004, has now 【6】 one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries and regions. The four members in the cartoon’s pig family teach 【7】 from all around the world about love, friendship, and the value of family. And in China, the adventures of McDull (麦兜), a piglet who works hard to achieve his dreams even though he keeps【8】, have been told in films since 2001.

“People are hoping to be 【9】as soon as possible, but McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of failures, said McDull’s creator Brian Tse “He has a heart of gold.”

Perhaps these are qualities of pigs to keep in mind when we celebrated this Chinese New Year—【10】intelligence, cuteness, patience and honesty.
