However, things are different in Malawi(马拉维). Bikes are the most popular in this African country.Bike riding is a way of life in Malawi. People use them to carry heavy things. They also use bikes to carry people, especially tourists. These years, taking a “ bicycle taxi” to travel around Malawi has become quite popular among tourists from all over the world.If you go to Malawi, you will find a lot of bike taxis waiting on the sides of the roads. The riders make the bikes comfortable for passengers to sit on. You can jump on a bike taxi and get around at a very low cost.Alice is a 21-year-old student from Canada. She enjoys the special bike riding a lot. “I really like the bike taxi,” she says. “Its easy and cheap.” Alice usually pays just $1 for going shopping in town.28-year-old Panjira Khombe began to ride a bike taxi two years ago.

It turns out to be the biggest mystery in modern aviation (航空) history.In the early hours of March 8, a Boeing 777 took off from Malaysias capital Kuala Lumpur (吉隆坡). It was heading to Beijing. But about two hours into the flight, the plane lost contact. There were 239 people on board the Malaysia Airlines flight, including 154 Chinese. About 12 countries, including China, the US and Australia, have joined the search for the missing plane and passengers. The planes disappearance was a “mystery”, said officials. The plane was flying at a height of more than 10,000 meters when it suddenly lost contact. The weather was clear. The pilots didnt make any distress calls (求救信号). When a plane crashes, broken parts are usually recovered. But up to April 2, officials have not found anything. People are also talking about a possible hijacking. Interpol (国际刑警组织) said that two people on the flight used stolen passports. But that information alone isnt evidence(证据) of a hijack. The investigation (调查) is still going on. It could take months or even years to find out what happened to the flight.“We are looking at all possibilities,” said Malaysian Transport Minister Hishamuddin Hussein. “The most important thing now is to find the plane.”On March 24 came a piece of sad news. Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said that the plane “ended in the southern Indian Ocean”. Everyone on the plane died. But the mystery is still not solved. Nobody is giving up. China has said it will work hard to find out the truth at all costs.66. Which country was the Flight MH370 flying to ? A. Malaysia. B. China. C. Australia. D. the US.67. How many Chinese were on the plane according to the article? A. 239. B. 393. C. 154. D. 12.68. What does the underlined word “hijacking” mean in this article? A. 你好，杰克。 B. 偷渡。 C. 劫机。 D. 偷盗。69.

D. broken parts has been found by April 2. 70. Where can you probably read the article? A. In a travel guide. B. In a history book. C. In a novel book. D. In a newspaper.CWhat is the hottest English word of 2020? Its “selfie”, according to Oxford dictionaries. Selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself, according to the Oxford online dictionary. People usually take selfies with a smart phone(智能手机) and send them to a social media website. The word was first used in 2020. In the past 12 months, its frequency (出现频率) in the English language has increased by 17,000 percent, said Oxford dictionaries. Now, almost everybody knows it. “Almost every day, I take a photo of myself at school, and save it in my Qzone (QQ空间),” said Huang Xu, 13, from Hunan. These photos record her happy and sad moments. Pop stars also take a lot of selfies. Li Chunping, 14, from Harbin, is a big fan of Yang Mi. “She has used many selfies to tell us whats going on in her personal life,” said Li. What makes people love selfies? Some people say its narcissism (自恋). “The rise of the selfie is a perfect symbol for our narcissistic culture. Were crying out: Look at me!” said US psychiatrist(精神科医生) Carole Lieberman. Young people are using selfies to make friends online, Jonathan Freedland wrote in The Guardian. “The usual purpose of taking a selfie is to share online. They express a human need to connect with others,” wrote Freedland. Huang Xu agrees with that. “During summer vacation, my classmates and I shared many selfies online. Hair or clothes were not our interests. Through these photos, we got to know each others holidays and feelings,” said Huang Xu.71. According to the story, a “selfie” is _.
