(an extract from a detective story)
…
"Sit down," Henderson said,sitting down in an armchair himself and looking at Logan."What are you here for?"
"I understand you had a party last night" said Logan, a police officer.
"Yes," said Henderson, "Oh! I hope the neighbours haven't been complaining about the noise again. "
"Not that I know of." said Logan. "But a young girl, Fran. who came to the party hasn't been home yet"
"Fran" said Henderson. "Yes, she was here. She left early, as I remember﹣about one o'clock. I happened to notice what the time was when she came to say goodbye. But nobody else left until about four in the morning."
Henderson looked quite relaxed.
"Did you know Clare?" asked Logan suddenly.
"Oh, God!" Henderson sat forward. "You don't think …the same thing has happened to Fran?"
"We're keeping an open mind," said Logan, watching him carefully, "but we're giving it our full attention."
Well, yes. I can understand that. " replied Henderson, getting comfortable in the armchair again.
"So," repeated Logan, "did you know Clare?"
"Well, sure.I knew who she was.But we never had anything do with each other." Said Henderson,
giving Logan a big smile.
"Who else was at your party?" asked Logan.
"People from the university," said Henderson. "Students, teachers."
"David?" asked Grant, Logan's partner.
"Yes, David was here for a time." Henderson smiled again. "But he's not really a party animal. He probably left early."
"What do you mean, probably?" asked Grant. Henderson looked at Grant. Grant was sixty with thick black hair and a large moustache. His clothes, as always, looked rather old: a blue jacket and grey trousers. He did not look much of a party animal either.
"Well, I don't check when my guests arrive and leave," said Henderson. "And some people just leave when they want to go home. They don't come and say goodbye. Anyway, sometimes I can be difficult to find." Again he looked at Logan,raised his eyebrows and gave her a big smile."I sometimes end up in the bedroom"
…

(2)Why did Logan and Grant go to Henderson's house?
A. Because the girl Fran who attended the party disappeared.
B. Because they went to the party held in, Henderson's house.
C. Because Henderson's neighbours called them for the noise.
D. Because they wanted to know why Henderson held the party.
(3)What can be inferred (推断) from Grant's question "What do you mean, probably?"?

D. Grant wanted to know the exact time of David's leaving.
Technology is everywhere. We see it any place we go and, in fact, almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget, though, is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others.
There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices (设备)lying around in it. Whenever I am at home, I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into my living room on any given day, you would find that, first, I have the television on. At the same time, I usually have my laptop resting on my knee, or I will be using my mobile phone. Even when I'm not at home I am always using my phone, and at work or in cafes, I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop.
I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering.
The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From using your language skills to do translations, to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work, there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The United Nations, in fact, has a huge page with "Volunteers Recruited" on its website.
This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff members. Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week﹣some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need.

17﹣year﹣old Brennan Agranoff, a colorblind boy, started his custom sock business in middle school,with a small loan (贷款) he got from his parents. Up till now, he has sold over ¥1 million worth of socks online in the last four years.
Brennan thought of the idea for his custom sock company at just 13years old. He was attending a high-school basketball game in his hometown of Sherwood. Oregon. and noticed that many kids his age were wearing the same white Nike sport socks. The boy told himself that if these white plain socks were so popular with kids, then some cool custom designs would surely be an even greater hit.

Only when he had everything planned out did he ask his parents for a loan. "They thought the idea was a little out there." Brennan recently told CNN Money, but he kept pushing, and finally received a ¥3,000 loan to start his company. Then he began to work on his own designs. The fact that he was colorblind didn't stop him and he has created over 200 designs now.
Business was slow the first year, but then Brennan started pushing his HoopSwagg products heavily on the Internet. Orders soon started coming in large numbers, and HoopSwagg became a popular brand among custom sock lovers. Right now, his designs can be found on HoopSwagg website, Amazon and eBay.

My father was a cemetery(公墓)keeper.When I was a child,he often took me there.Before we left each time,he would lay some stones on some graves(坟墓).I never asked why.I just thought that was his work.
Yesterday, I visited my sick father. He asked me to go to the cemetery and lay some stones. For some reason, it had to be done that day. I agreed. I hadn't been there for a long time.
When I got there, I found a woman in front of one of the graves I would lay a stone on.As I went to lay it, I heard her whisper" Thank you". It was then that I noticed the date of death on the grave was that same day. The grave was that of a child, only five when he died fifteen years ago.

I told her that my father was ill but he asked me to do this. It seemed important to him."Your father's kindness means more to me than anything else. When my child died, I came often to see him. It is our custom to leave a stone. It tells the one who is here that he is thought of. But, then we moved away from here.. so many painful memories.. I was so afraid that he would be alone. But your father marked the grave every time he came. Each time I returned here, I saw that stone and it always comforted me. Your father is the kind of man who would ease the pain of a mother's heart though we are strangers. Just tell him you saw me today, won't you?" She said.
It took me a minute to find my voice. That small stone marked the grave of a child and the heart of his mother.

Do you use a calendar to help you organize your life? By listing what you need to do on any special day,you can make sure to keep all for your appointments and not worry whether you've forgotten something.Calendars are also useful for reminding(提醒) people what day a certain holiday is on and what days you might have off from work. Besides, they are used for planning fun things like vacations and outings.
A calendar is usually divided into twelve parts, and each one stands for a month with all the days laid out
in a grid﹣like(网格状的) form. A block of space usually is for one day, and there is enough space for you to write down what you need to do on that certain day.

When our son Bradley was ten, the new bicycle he had received earlier that year was stolen. Owning a bicycle was a big deal to our children when they were little. They spent hours and hours, day after day, on their bicycles, riding up and down the footpath, and at the front of the house. We also rode together as a family a lot. Bicycling was a great way to get the kids out of the house and into the fresh air without spending any money.
Bradley had discovered that his bicycle had been stolen from our backyard in Campbelltown, South Australia, when he and his sister went outside for a morning ride. He couldn't believe that someone would do this.
He got a large piece of cardboard, painted a sign begging for the bicycle to be returned, and tied the sign to the letterbox. The following morning, when I went out to collect the mail, I found a white envelope with the magical words, " Buy yourself a new bicycle". There was a $100 banknote inside.
We were very touched that someone had the heart to do this. We've never been able to thank the person but we suspect(猜想)that it may have been one of our wonderful neighbours. Bradley painted a big" !" on the sign and we left it outside for a couple of weeks afterwards, hoping the kind stranger would drive down our street.
A delighted Bradley was able to buy a new bicycle. As the years went on, the bicycles became bigger and more expensive but remained just as important for those family bicycle rides. Now Bradley is 25. Sometimes I miss the days when receiving a bicycle was the best thing in the world to them.
All these years later we are still thankful for the stranger's kindness. We were a young family with three little children and it meant a lot to us. We still talk about it and, even now, wonder who the kind stranger was.

Every night in Jinan University in Guangzhou,a group of students plays diabolo (空竹) as a crowd watches on in amazement.
Chen Zhelun,25, a Malaysian﹣Chinese started the diabolo club, which helps to increase the popularity of this traditional Chinese game. He is one of many students expressing their interest in the country's cultural heritage(遗产)by starting clubs.
The diabolo, which came from China, is popular among Chinese living in Malaysia.
"We played diabolo from primary school onward. I thought I could find someone to play with in China, but only a few students knew about it. So I started a club to develop it,"says Chen.
To Chen's surprise, the old game has interested a huge crowd﹣ more than 1,000 students have joined the club.
"It keeps your body strong and it's fun," says Chen.
But some prefer quieter activities. Every weekend, one classroom in Shenzhen University is always crowded, but it's unusually silent. The members of Lanting Calligraphy Club are writing Chinese characters with traditional brushes.
Fan Dongling, 21, a student in Shenzhen University, says it's a shame that young people no longer enjoy the beauty of Chinese characters.
Although her club is quiet, Fan says it keeps members healthy, mentally and physically.
"Some students think traditional things are outdated. They like celebrating Western festivals like Christmas or Valentine's Day, but they seldom pay attention to traditional ones, "says Kong Yanquan, 21,a student in Guangxi University.
As head of the traditional Chinese local operas club, Kong plans to put modern elements (元素)into traditional culture to get students to join his club.
"I think it's everyone's duty to save and develop China's traditional culture among young people," he says.

Thanks to the ancient Silk Road, the lands of Italy and China have been connected for more than 2,000 years. Tourists from China and every corner of the world come to visit Italy every year. Here are four famous cities of Italy.
Rome Coliseum |
Rome is the birth place of science, culture and of course, art in Europe. It is the perfect combination(结合)of the modern and the classical. When one walks around the city, one can see many museums. Of course, Rome is also considered as the fashion(时尚)centre of the world now. The Rome Coliseum is today considered one wonder(奇迹)of the modern world. |
Pisa is a small city. It is famous for the leaning tower of Pisa. If you think that Pisa has only one leaning tower, you may just be wrong. This city has three leaning towers. Home of the famous scientist Galileo, Pisa is also known for its universities because the city is home of some of the most important universities in Europe. |
Leaning Tower |
