Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to form three-hour travel circle. The 55-kilometer bridge in the Lingdingyang waters of the Pearl River Estuary, which was opened in late October 2018, is the world's longest sea bridge. The project follows the logic that China has been using for years to guide economic development - if you want to get rich, first build a road.
At 20 times the length of California's Golden Gate Bridge, the six-lane crossing will link a regional economic zone of 70 million people, with a combined annual GDP of $1.51 trillion--almost twice that of the San Francisco Bay Area, and larger than the national economies of Australia, Spain or Mexico.
The links are part of a plan to create an integrated(综合的) region that officials have dubbed（被称为） the “Greater Bay Area”. The bridge will put Hong Kong, Macao and Zhuhai within an hour of each other. The main bridge, together with crossing facilities and link roads, is designed to meet growing demands for passenger and freight transport between the three cities. A “three-hour tour and golden circle” will be formed thanks to the massive(巨大的) bridge, road networks and rail links to other cities, making more travel itineraries（旅游活动日程）available.
1.Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was opened _____________.
A. In early October 2018. B. In late October 2018.
C. In early November 2018. D. In late November 2018.

| Question A: My friend will go to a concert by my favorite singer. But she does not even like that singer! It is not fair. | Answer 1: When your friend comes over, spend time with her alone instead of including your sister. No fight, no problem. But if your friend and your sister get into a fight, you will need to stand out, “I know you don’t love my sister, but I do. Please don’t say anythingbad like that, OK?” A true friend wouldn’t make you choose between friendship and family. |

Envy(嫉妒) makes you feel uncomfortable, and there is no need to feel sorry for yourself or jealous(嫉妒的) of someone else. So try to let this go. Think about what you have and be thankful for them. |
| Question C: My best friend doesn’t like my sister. I love my sister! But I don’t want to lose my friend. | Answer 3: Sports can be about competition.

Being a youth is one thing, and being a good one is another. A good youth should have these qualities: First of all, health. A healthy body is the best riches. Without it, nothing can be done well. If you are poor in health, you will have to take medicine day after day. You can even work, do sports and so on. Secondly, one must be of good quality. Always do something good for others. Help those in trouble and care about the people around you. If everyone did the same, what a wonderful world this would be! Thirdly, one must have the ability to work with others. Cooperation and communication are two important keys to better human relations. Everyone needs friends because no one can live through life alone or do everything he wants to.
Besides the examples above, patriotism is the one we should never forget. Patriotism(爱国主义) means a love for one's country. It is one of the highest qualities of human's. Everyone should love his own country. But people sometimes think that patriots (爱国者) must be fighters or that they live in a time of fighting for their country. That is wrong. A good youth's work is not only fighting. A good youth will do the things his country asks him to do.
I think a good youth of today should also have some training in art. If everyone can enjoy art and be able to make more of it for others, then people will live better and enjoy more.

In today’s world of modern science and medicine, a more traditional treatment is once again becoming popular---animal friendship.
It is now well-known that people with problems such as heart disease or cancer live longer and get better more quickly if they have pets. Keeping pets reduces blood pressure and makes people less worried. Animals are increasingly important in treating older people who have memory loss and other brain problems. These people often feel nervous and upset. Activities with animals help them improve their physical condition and also give them joy, amusement and caring friendship.
Here is a case that shows the benefits of animals. John was a six-year-old mute. He had no physical problems. He just refused to talk. His older cousin, Ned, had a parrot（鹦鹉）called Sally, and John used to visit it. When he arrived, Ned used to say, ”Hi, John!”We all know parrots copy what they heat. After a few visits, Sally began saying “Hi, John!” when John came into the room. Then, one day, John turned to the parrot and replied “Hi, Sally!”Staying with the parrot encouraged John to begin talking.
Another use of animal helpers is in schools. In some cases, animals are use to help children with physical or personal problems. In other cases, they are used to teach children to get on well and share with others, and even to teach them about animals.
If you want to know more about animal helper programs ,you can get in touch with organizations like Riding for the Disabled or do a search under “animal therapy” on the Internet. You don’t have to be an animal trainer or a doctor to join in.

The meaning of silence is different among different cultures.
Many people in some Asian cultures think silence is a basic part of communication. When a traditional Chinese or Thai is speaking and suddenly stops, he probably wants the listener to consider what he has said before he continues. Many people may think silence is a sign of respect (尊重), especially to an elder or a person with power.
Western cultures may use silence in other ways. In America, if you keep silent in a conversation, the speaker may think you’re impolite or not listening to them carefully. Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show they agree with the discussion of the topic. However, Mexicans may keep silent when instructions（指示，命令） are given by a person with a lot of power, even though they don’t agree with the instructions.
In our daily life, if we know the exact meaning of one’s silence, it’s quite helpful, too. A man was ill in hospital. One morning, when the nurse said “Hello!” to him, he said “Hello!” back. “How are you feeling now?” the nurse continued. But the man lay in bed and looked at the nurse, saying nothing. “Not well, right? Then I will check it for you, OK? ” the patient was still silent. Then the nurse passed him a cup of warm water. He drank it quickly. After that, the nurse checked up his health. “Mr. Smith, your blood pressure is a little high. But don’t worry, you’ll soon be well again after taking some medicine.” The man smiled and said, “You’re the best nurse I’ve ever met.” You see, this is how silence works.
