After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained. He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him. Why not write to other people who need encouragement? He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered. Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of Gods love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith. It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail. The letter said, Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces!No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents.

A. in a music book B. in a history textbook C. in a travel magazine D. in a science reportCChina is using travel as an important tool to help strengthen its economy. At the recent First World Conference on Tourism a Chinese official spoke about the governments plan for using tourists and the money they spend. The head of Chinas National Tourism Administration, Li Jinzao, said that China plans to send 150 million travelers along what he called the “One Belt, One Road”. In the next five years, these tourists are expected to spend $200 billion, he said. This spending estimate is likely to raise expectations among countries along the ancient Silk Road, which links China to its neighbors.China has reasons to feel it can use tourism to influence the foreign policy. Governments across the world are changing their immigration(移民) rules to welcome the growing numbers of Chinese tourists. Chinese citizens are now going to places where in the past Chinese rarely went. Marketing expert Michel Gutsatz said that among Chinese travelers, South Korea and Thailand are popular destinations. Outside of Asia, he said, Chinese are more likely to visit Europe than North America. These changes, he said, are the results of young Chinese travelers, who spend more and travel independently.Spending by Chinese tourists has lifted the economies of several Asian countries, including Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. It is expected that the number of Chinese traveling overseas to reach 242 million by 2024. In a single year, that number would be equal to the total number of tourists received by Germany, Iran, Indonesia and Egypt combined.China is now the biggest business travel market in the world. The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) recently announced that China has overtaken the United States in business travel. Chinese spent just over $290 billion. This year, GBTA predicts that the Chinese business travel market will grow over 10 percent, while the US business travel market will grow less than 2 percent. 28. We can infer from the passage that foreign countries _. A. welcome Chinese immigration to their countries.B. make policies to ban Chinese tourists.C. take Chinese tourists as their supporting power.D. rely entirely on Chinese tourists to increase their economy.29. What makes young Chinese travelers prefer spending holidays in Europe? A. They want to visit the places they rarely visited in the past. B. They spend more money and travel by their own.C. They want to travel to farther places than just nearby countries. D. They think Europe is a more fashionable and popular destination.30. What is the importance of receiving tourists from China for some Asian countries?A. Chinese tourists make great contribution to their economy. B. Chinese tourists can widen their business travel market. C. The number of Chinese tourists is larger than that of European tourists. D. They have greater expectations from Chinese. 31. What can be the best title of the passage? A. Chinas “One Belt, One Road” Plan B. Foreign Countries Change Their Policies to Attract Chinese Tourists C. China Has the Biggest Business Travel Market in the World D. Tourism Helps China Strengthen Its EconomyDIt has been found that plastic that finds itself into UKs waters can find its way to the Arctic within just two years. UK researchers have used a current-tracking tool to follow the waste as it was carried by the waters of the northern hemisphere.The team at Imperial College London used PlasticA to track ocean currents(洋流) and follow the trail of plastic north to the freezing Arctic waters. Their study revealed that the majority of plastic waste which didnt end up on the UKs coastline, or sink to the ocean floor, was carried through the Barents Sea, north of Norway, before being carried into the Arctic Ocean.Large pockets of the worlds oceans are now choked with a soup of discarded plastics, made up of everything from shopping bags to old childrens toys, brought to these trash “islands” by the currents. Over time larger chunks (厚块，大块) are broken down by the suns ultraviolet rays (紫外线) and the saltwater, leaving plenty of micro plastics which can kill fish and other wildlife.Dr. Erik Van Sebille, a lecturer in oceanography (海洋学) and climate change at Imperial, said, “Were only just beginning to understand the effect that plastic waste has on the weak Arctic ecosystem(生态系统), but we know enough about the damage done by oceanic plastic pollution to act and reduce its impact on our oceans and coastlines. From seabirds caught in loops of plastic packaging to polystyrene particles(聚苯乙烯粒子) blocking the digestive(消化的) systems of fish, plastic causes a continuous path of destruction from surface to seafloor. This analysis shows how in the UK were part of the problem.”Dr. Erik continued, “It would be impossible to ban plastic, and undesirable as it is, its a useful material that offers many benefits. We should instead have a holistic (整体的) approach to improving the situation, including social and behavioral, chemical and engineering solutions. Our aim is to have the least amount of plastic that ends up in the oceans and make sure it degrades (降解) quickly and safely if it does. ”32. What do we know from the passage? A. Plastic waste takes two years to reach the Arctic Ocean. B. Plastic waste brings pollution to the Arctic Ocean. C. A small number of plastic waste was carried to the Arctic Ocean. D.
