More than 95 percent of people in the world have phones today, according to the United Nations. Phone calls and messages help us easily communicate with others. It means that we seldom write letters now. But a TV show, Letters Alive, is bringing back this old habit.
Letters Alive got its idea from a UK program with a similar name. Both shows invite famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or different competitions. Instead, it’s just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.

“Every letter opens another world for us,” according to Guan Zhengwen, the director of the TV show.” It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers.”
Since its first episode on the fifth of December, Letters Alive has been widely praised. Many audience（观众） members said that it has provided a breath of fresh air to today’s TV shows.
Apart from （除了......之外）Letters Alive, some other cultural TV shows have also been well received by Chinese audiences. They include Chinese Poetry Conference (《中国诗词大会》)，a classical Chinese poetry competition, and Readers, a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote.
“This means that our audiences are not only looking for entertainment（娱乐） like gossip (八卦) and eye-catching games,” reported China Youth Daily.“Cultural values and true feelings are the keys to winning praise.”

It is not easy for people to sail (航海) around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents can happen easily and quickly.
One family once had an accident. A big fish swam under their boat and bit(咬) holes in it. Sea water came in and the boat soon went down. Luckily these people had another small boat——a lifeboat, so they all got into the lifeboat. They lived in the boat for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped. At last people in a ship saved them.
How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time? They must be strong in every way. They must have a hope, and they must have a strong desire（愿望）to live. People cannot drink seawater. If they drink a lot of sea water, they will quickly die. They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. So people cannot cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw (生的) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food. They must eat raw food, or they will die.
1.How can accidents at sea happen?
________________________________________________________________.
2.What bit holes in the boat?
________________________________________________________________.
3.What can people catch for food and drink at sea in a lifeboat?
________________________________________________________________.
4.If people in a lifeboat don’t eat raw food, what will happen to them?
________________________________________________________________.
5.What do you think makes people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time?

More than anything else in the world, Lion liked being King of the jungle. He walked around, showing off his power and pride.
Each day Lion took a long lazy sleep under the shade of his favorite tree. He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing(鞠躬) before him.
One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over Lion’s huge paws. Lion woke up with a start. “How dare you wake me up!” he shouted angrily. Lion grabbed(抓住) Mouse with one paw. “On the second thought, I’m in the mood for the snack, and you’ll make a delicious meal.” he said.

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures ----those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.
I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall building and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff.（悬崖）
Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.(生存).
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
1.A best title for the text is ____.
A. Dangerous sports: what and why
B. The boredom of modern life
C. Bungee jumping: Is it really dangerous?
D. The need for excitement
2.More and more people today ____.
A. are trying activities such as bungee jumping
B. are climbing the highest mountains
C. are coming close to death in sports
D. are looking for adventures such as traveling into unknown places
3.In bungee jumping, you ____.
A. jump as high as you can
B. slide down a rope to the ground
C. attach(系) yourself to a rope and fall to the ground
D. fall towards the ground without a rope
4.People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because _____.
A. they have a lot of free time
B. they can go to hospital if they are injured
C. their life is short of excitement
D. they no longer need to hunt for food
5.The writer of the text has a ____ attitude towards dangerous sports.
A. Positive(肯定的) B. negative(否定的) C. neutral(中立的) D. nervous(紧张的)

Do you know that more than half of the people living in Copenhagen(哥本哈根), the Danish capital, ride a bike to school or work every day? The city has set a goal(目标)to become the world's first carbon neutral(碳中立) capital by2025.
Cycling(骑行)is actually a faster and more time-saving way to travel in Copenhagen.That's why you'll find more bikes than people and more than 5 times as many bikes than cars in this city!
Copenhagen is a cycling paradise(天堂). The city has done its best to encourage people to ride bikes-it has built more than 1,000 km of cycling roads. The city planners have made plans to help park bikes and repair bikes for free--wow!
Copenhagen's cyclists hardly break traffic rules. Several of the city's main streets are only used for bike lanes(车道). Bike lanes along major roads are wide. Copenhagen is building 38 highways along the main city roads. The city's subways also allow cyclists to bring their bikes in the train, free of cost
The city planners are working hard to make cyclists feel safe So when cyclists get closer to a main crossing, sensors(传感器)down the streets ‘tell’ the traffic lights to give them a ‘green’ light,which means cyclists don' t have to worry about the heavy traffic. Isn't that cool? One smooth journey from home to school! Even in the cold winters, the workers clean snow on the cycling lanes before car lanes.
Lately, however, the city is facing a new problem-there are not enough parking lots for cyclists. Some people now start leaving their bikes just about anywhere. Perhaps the best way is to make more space for bikes or build underground parking lots.
At the same time, other big cities are following Copenhagen's example, such as London, Paris,New York, Beijing and San Francisco They are all taking actions to encourage cyclists.
1.What goal does Copenhagen hope to reach by 2025?
A.To build more and wider roads for cyclists.
B.To set a good example for other cities to follow.
C.To encourage more people to go to work by bike..
D.To become the world’s first carbon neutral capital.
2.Much more people in Copenhagen ride bikes than driving because_______.
A.the traffic is too heavy B.it's faster and saves more time
C.there are more bike lanes D.the city doesn't allow driving
3.What problem is the city facing now?
A.Other cities are following its example. B.Some cyclists often break traffic rules.
C.There isn't enough space for bike parking. D.Car drivers are not pleased with cyclists.
