A brother and a sister have been reunited (重逢) after more than 60 years, thanks to a letter in the
Welwynand Hatfield Times. For years John Hannant kept a photo of his long-lost sister, hoping they would meet
again.
Margery, the eldest of three children, had signed up with the Royal Air Force as part of the war effort, when
John was still a baby.
The family lost touch and as many years passed only a single letter gave a clue to her whereabouts (下落).
The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize Margery and put the family back in touch.
John, 67, said he had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested writing to the paper.
“That’s the one that made it, the letter to the paper,” he said. “It’s like a dream that comes true. The last time
we ever heard from Margery was in 1953 after the terrible floods. She wrote home to know if we were all right.My
sister Dorothy wrote back, but Margery had moved again and never got the letter.”
Having retired from his job as a gardener at Park House, Mr Hannant decided to take action.
He and his wife Doreen traveled to Margery’s home in Chelwood Avenue, Hatfield, which she shares with her
husband Jack Cooke.
Now 88, Margery was recovering from her heart operation, but immediately recognized her brother. John
said, “It’s something I never thought that was going to happen but I always hoped it would.” AS well as finding his
sister, John has also discovered he now has a nephew, a niece and six grandnieces and grandnephews.

Shanghairesidents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu district in Octobermight have astonished at an
unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground in its entirety and
relocated using new technology named the “walking” machine.
In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers used nearly 200 mobile supports under the
five-story building. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re split into two groups which in turns rise up and down,
imitating the human step. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward.
TheLagenaPrimary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, faced a new challenge — it’s T-shaped, while previously
relocated structures were square or rectangular. Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a
number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”.
Over the course of 18 days, the building was rotated 21degrees and moved 62 meters away to its new
location. The old school building is set to become a center for heritage protection and cultural protection. The
project marks the first time this “walking machine” method has been used inShanghaito relocate a historical
building.
In recent years,China’s rapid modernization has seen many historic buildingsrazedto clear land for skyscrapers
and office buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage loss as a result of
destruction across the country.
Shanghaihas beenChina’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a
number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “Shikumen” houses in the repaired
Xintiandi neighborhood has offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a track record
of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou district, which was then
considered to beShanghai’s most complex relocation project to date.
4. How did the primary school get moved?
A. By reducing the weight of it.
B. By using movable supports. C. By dividing it into several parts.
D. By using robotic legs.
5. What does the underlined word “razed” probably mean in Paragraph 5?
A. Replaced.
B. Burnt.
C. Protected.
D. Destroyed.
6. What can we infer about the heritage preservation inChina?
A. The use of advanced technology leads to growing concern.
B. Shanghai is the pioneer in preserving architectural heritage.

Speaking with people on the phone is pretty rare these days. Most people use e-mail or messaging apps
when they need to communicate with someone. Sometimes, though, making a call is unavoidable. This simple act
can actually be a nightmare for some people. Their hearts race and their hands sweat at the very thought. If this
sounds familiar to you, you might be one of the millions of people who suffer from telephobia—the fear of
speaking over the phone.
Telephobia is a form of social anxiety, although people who feel perfectly comfortable in social situations may
also experience telephobia. When speaking face-to-face, we give off lots of facial or bodily cues that help each
other follow the conversation. This is not the case over the phone. And the idea of speaking into this void（真空）makes people terrified that they will freeze up, stumble over their words（失言）, or lose control of the

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least
one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.
In the library,I found my way into the "Children's Room." I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off
the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a
beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he
was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
Without opening the book—Amos, the Beagle with a Plan ,1 borrowed it from the library for the summer.

Experts say that if food were a country, it would rank second behind theUSas one of the biggest greenhouse
gas polluters. The reason is the rising demand for meat. Animal farming is responsible for 14.5 percent of global
methane emissions. While cowsare the worst contributors, pigs, sheep, donkeys and other animals play a part as
well.
Animal agriculture also causes land to become damaged, water to be polluted and forests to get destroyed.
With the world population forecast to rise to 9.8 billion by 2050, things are only looking worse for our already
decreasing natural resources. While going vegetarian would help, meat consumption is too deep-rooted in most
Western diets to allow for such a sharp, permanent change. That is why experts are advocating substituting some
