If you are good at writing, you can just find a job as .A．a secretary B．a waiter or waitressC．an accountant D．a salesclerk3. Where can we read the above information most probably A．In an English bookstore. B．In a newspaper.C．In a hotel magazine. D．In a English TV channel.BWhen you set a foot outside of your door to drop litter, go to a social event or go for a walk, thoughts like “I hope I don’t see anyone I know” or “please don’t talk to me may run through your mind”. I’ve also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is to talk with someone, especially someone new. Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time Or are we just lazy, thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble Communication is the key to life. We have been told that many times. Take the past generations, like our parents, for example. They seem to take full advantage of that whole “communication” idea because they grew up talking face to face while Generation Y grew up staring at screens.We spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we wantto say to certain people.Nowadays, we are so caught up in our little circle of friends—our comfort zone. We love it that they laugh at our jokes, understand our feelings and can read our minds. Most importantly, they know when we want to be alone. They just get us.Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, Every “hello” leads to a smile — and a smile is worth a lot.；4. What do we learn about the authorA．He likes to be alone.B．He feels stressed out lately.C．He’s active in attending social events.D．He’s afraid of talking to others at times.；5. What’s the problem of Generation Y in the author’s eyes A．They rely on the Internet to socialize.B．They are less confident about themselves.C．They have difficulty in communicating.D．They are unwilling to make new friends.；6. Why do many young people avoid meeting new people A．They think it is troublesome.B．They are busy with their study.C．They fear to disappoint their old friends.D．They want to take time to do meaningful work .；7. Why does the author write the textA．To tell about the importance of friends.B．To give tips on how to meet new people.C．To encourage people to meet new people.D．To introduce the disadvantages of Generation Y.CYou should always support your kids and their natural talents. And if you nurture them, great things will happen. That's what 9-year-old Joe Whale's parents thought when they encouraged their son to keep drawing, even though he got into trouble for doodling （涂鸦）during class.They sent Joe to an after-school art class and his artistic abilities were quickly noticed by those around him.

Now, Joe is known as The Doodle Boy and has his own website, as well as social media pages showing off hisawesome art.According to Greg, Joe's dad, his son has always loved drawing and "was added to the Gifted register in primary school aged 4”. Greg also revealed how long it took Joe to finish his drawings on the dining room walls in the restaurant. "Joe spent about 12 hours illustrating the wall.”What's more, Greg had some proposals for parents who want to encourage their kids to develop their talent: "I would advise parents to encourage their children to always follow their passion and dreams - research local workshops or groups within your local community ”Joe's teacher recognized his talent and posted his work on Instagram. His drawings caught the eye of the “Number 4" restaurant which asked him to come over and decorate their walls with his doodles. Now, his dad drives him there so he can draw his heart out.

D．Restaurant owners.DMany years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station(加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. Wechatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池)was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom."Just how friendly is Friendly Ford " I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said."Thank you" - two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.12. The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City .A．to visit a friendB．to see his parentsC．to pay at the cash registerD．to have more gas for his car13.

My name is Linda. I am from Isla de Maipo, Chile. I live with my dad, my mom and a rabbit happily. But I was born with a cleft lip(唇裂).I don’t remember anything about my first years with my cleft lip. All I know is that when I was young, my parents found Fundación Gantz in Santiago, where I had been for free treatment.Every time when I went to Fundación Gantz, my heart was full of thanks to my parents. It was not easy to arrive on time for medical examination. We had to get up at six in the morning to drive for more than an hour and be careful not to get hit by other cars, but my parents never complained about such busy and tiring days.Doctors at Fundación Gantz helped me a lot. First, they healed my cleft lip. Then, with orthodontic treatment(正畸治疗), they managed to correct my bite, and later they performed an operation on my jawbone.I thank the doctors there who treated me, and Dr. Angus is my favorite—he has known me since I was born. When I was in the waiting room waiting for my operation on my jawbone, I was sweating all over in fear. Dr. Angus came to my side and talked to me endlessly about the things I was interested in, such as Kayros’ music and Bolano’s books, making me feel relaxed.In the past, before the treatment, I had no confidence, and children made jokes on my cleft lip at school. I started training in Taekwondo(跆拳道)at the age of four in a gym next to my kindergarten and it was just whatI needed at that time. It changed me and the children around me —before, children played tricks on me, but later they respected me. Today, when people talk about something on my lip, I will tell them the little mark never bothers me because it is so small that it can hardly be seen.I want to tell the medical experts at Gantz to keep it up because their work is admirable, and they help a lot of people in need.1. Which of the following can best describe the author’s parents?A．Selfless. B．Impatient. C．Fair. D．Outgoing.2. How did Dr. Angus help the author reduce her fear of the operation?A．He read to her. B．He talked about interesting things withher.C．He played music for her. D．He changed her operation plan.3. How did Taekwondo change the 4-year-old author?A．It made her school time colorful. B．It built her confidence.C．It improved her school performances. D．It prepared her for her future career.4. What does the underlined word “something” refer to in paragraph 6?A．The color. B．The cost. C．The operation. D．The mark.3. The return of sports during the pandemic(大流行病)has been one of the fewest saviors for many people over the last year. It offers a sense of hope that, one day, things will return to some sort of normality.The same is true in the world of esports(电子竞技), an industry that has played some of its biggest and most great games behind closed doors over the past 12 months,René Romann is a huge fan of Team Liquid* a leading worldwide professional esports organization. Following my favorite organization has provided relief during such difficult times. It’s interesting to see this online family, this Liquid family, and how we can help each other in certain situations, especially in this pandemic,” Romann told CNN Sport.Studies show the number of esports fans rose rapidly and, with everyone stuck indoors due to the lockdown(封控), TV viewers increased again. “Keeping fans attrac ted is important for an organization like Team Liquid, which says its supporters are at the heart of everything it does,”Team Liquid’s CEO, Steve Arhancet, said. His team regularly sent handwritten letters and called fans over the phone in order to encourage that community feeling. It was something that he said had been extra important during such tough times.“When you’re able to provide that kind of care and consideration for a family member or a friend or someone that you just care about, why is it different for a relationship between the sports team and its fans? It should be the same,” Arhancet told CNN Sport, “I think a lot of other teams take it for granted. They just assume that fans could just watch the content and that’s enough. It isn’t. Sportst eams have to care, to listen and to remember. ”1. What does René Romann think of Team Liquid?A．It is rich. B．It is large. C．It is helpful. D．It is small.2. What is the most important for an esports organization according to Arhancet?D．Its size.A．Its supporters. B．Its equipment. C．Its members’skills.3. How did Team Liquid give its fans a sense of community?A．By changing its game rules. B．By providing difficult contents.C．By keeping in close contact with them. D．By helping look after their familymembers.4. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．How Team Liquid Became ProfessionalB．What Role Team Liquid Played in EsportsC．Why Sports Returned to Daily Life During LockdownD．How Team Liquid Made a Difference During the Pandemic4. We always hear that text ing, which refers to the communicative practice of sending brief messages on cell phones or other personal digital devices, is a disaster. The idea is that text ing leads to the fall of writing ability among young people because it is full of informal language. As a matter of fact, it isn’t true. In order to see that text ing is actually a whole new way of writing that young people are developing, we have to look at what language really is.Basically, if we think about language, it has existed(存在)for centuries, and it appears as speech. W. talked. That’s what we’re probably genetically determined. That’s how we use language most. Writing is something that came along much later. But writing has its advantage, When you write, you can make the content smooth, colorful and elegant with language, which is much less likely if you’re just talking. . It is because writing is a conscious(有意识的)process and you can look backwards.Informal speech is something quite different. Linguists have actua lly shown that when we’re speaking informally in an unmonitored way, we tend to speak in words 7 to 10 as a group. You’ll notice this if you ever have an occasion for recording yourself or a group of people talking. That’s what speech is like. Speech is much looser and less reflective(反思的)-very different from writing. Texting is a new way of writing, because texters use writing skills before texting. People will process information in more creative uses of language during texting. When they use informal language in their texts, many understand there are different communicative situations. They try shortening language for correct spelling of a word or a phrase. Texting also allows texters much time to form their thoughts and provides many opportunities for them to revise their ideas Moreover, texting positively exercises texters’ rhetorical(修醇的)skills. Since texts are written in various styles, people must know how to match the style of a text with its message.Now we have an overall understanding of text ing.1. How does writing differ from speech?A．It came before talking. B．It is an unconscious process.C．Its style is less strict. D．It can be improved again and again.2. What does the underlined word “looser” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Stricter. B．Richer. C．Freer. D．Harder.3. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．What is speech exactly.B．How text ers learn to write.C．How text ers send message successfully.D．The relationship between writing and text ing.4. Which statement about text ing does the author agree with?A．It is another form of writing. B．It is less reflective.C．It is the same as speaking. D．It is a disaster.5. Important Travel Safety TipsNothing ruins an adventure more quickly than getting sick, cheated or robbed when you travel abroad! 1 .Register at your embassy(大使馆)The Smart Traveller Enrollment Program, from the US Department of State, is designed to make a destination’s local embassy aware of your arrival and keep you constantly updated with the latest safety information. I t’s also a great way to get reliable and up-to-date safety information as you travel along with an extra level of security in case of emergencies. Don’t worry about the cost. 2 .3Once you’ve worked out when and where you’re going, make sure someone el se knows it as well. The best way is to email the full route to a few family members and double check with them that they received it. Then, if you can, check in from time to time.Get travel insurance(保险)Everyone should carry some kind of health and property insurance when travelling. 4 . It is because some accidents happen, whether you think they will or not. It doesn’t matter how careful you think you are.Ask locals for adviceLocals actually can be excellent sources for good information. If you want to know which neighborhoods are safe and which might be not, you can ask a local resident of the area. Most locals are friendly and will warn you not to go into dangerous areas. 5 , it’s wise to get a second opinion—just in case they don’t really know what they’re talking about but simply want to help.6. Let me talk about the traffic jam(堵塞)I met last time. A couple of weeks ago, I was planning to go on a busine ss trip by ________ to another city. But I got a bit ________ and didn’t sleep well that night. So the next morning I ________ late at about 9:00, but my airplane took off at 11:00.It was really in a ________ because there was about one-hour driving to the airport, I took a taxi and told the driver to drive as ________ as possible.

That was the average life then. At the turn of this century, as medical knowledge advanced, the average life span(长度) increased to 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is looking forward to many more active years.So, how old is old? The answer is one you’ve heard many times, from all sorts of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel!” The calendar(日历) simply tells you how many years you have lived. Yourbody tells you how well you’ve lived.“Youth,” wrote an anonymous author, “is not a time of life --- it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals.”Old is a point of view. Alice Brophy, when she was with the New York City commission for the Aging, said, “It annoys me when people say, Gee, you look young for your age!” What does that mean? Is there some model that you’re supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85? You know you c an die old at 30 and live young at 80.There are neither biological nor physiological reasons to connect poor health with growing older. Older people are more likely to be affected with illness and physical disabilities than you are, but old age itself is not a disease. It is possible to remain physically fit throughout your life.Older minds can be as bright as young minds. Senility (衰老) is part of the normal aging process, but it is not a sign of disease. In a 1985 study of men aged 20, 40, 60 and 80 years, no evidence was found to indicate that aging was associated with an inevitable (不可避免的) fall in intellectual performance, in generally healthy people. Older people give up smoking and break other bad habits just as successfully as younger people.61. This article is mainly about ____.A. the average life spanB. agingC. sanityD. youth62. According to the article, which statement is true?A. Aging does not mean you become unhealthy.B. Older people are not as smart as young people.C. Most older people are physically fit.D. Most older people are in poor health63. Which question is not mentioned in the article?A. The average life span today.B. Senility is a normal part of aging.C. Older people don’t have more trouble breaking bad habits.D. You’re old only when you feel old.64. The writer thinks that if a person is senile（衰老的）, ____.A. he is more than 70 years oldB. he has a diseaseC. he has physical disabilitiesD. he feels he is old65. In the writer’s opinion, today a healthy 70-year-old man is most probably considered to be ____.A. really oldB. in poor healthC. a sign of senilityD. more activeB“If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It’s quite possible that in the ne xt century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically fromFleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体). They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.66. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Best Way to Get NewsB. The Changes of MediaC. Make Your Own NewspaperD. The Future of Newspaper67. In the writer’s opinion, in the future, _______.A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make newsB. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC. newspapers will cover more scientific researchD. more and more people will watch TV68. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?A. Sports and international news.B. A menu of important news.C. The most important news.D. What you are interested in.69. From the passage, we can infer _______.A. newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB. newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC. television will take the place of newspaperD. the writer believe some media will die out70. The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means _______.A. depend onB. compete withC. fight withD. kill offC阅读下面短文，从下面A-F中为每段选择一个合适的小标题。

Due to the combination of officers and technology, all kinds of animals and plants have returned to the reserve. “The environment is improving year by year, and people's lives get better and they have stronger awareness of protection, making our jobs very fulfilling.” Zhang said.4、What does the underlined word mean?A.

Typical dishes include bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and above all, turkey. How did turkey become the centerpiece (最重要的菜) of this meal?It is often assumed that today's Thanksgiving menu originated in an event commonly considered as the "first Thanksgiving". There is indeed evidence of a meal shared between Pilgrim settlers and Wampanoag people in late 1621, but historians think it's not sure that turkey was served. They believe that the Pilgrims provided wild fowl (飞禽) . while the Wampanoag brought deer for meat. Passenger pigeons, ducks, and other birds may have been the main course. Turkey, if present, was likely a side dish.In 1789, George Washington issued a Thanksgiving Proclamation (正式公告) , marking the first official celebration of Thanksgiving in the US. However, turkeys were not yet related to Thanksgiving. About 38 years later, the writer Sarah Josepha described a New England Thanksgiving, with a roasted turkey placed at the head of the table in her novel Northwood. In 1863, after President Abraham Lincoln announced Thanksgiving a national holiday, and turkey has since become a cherished tradition in Thanksgiving celebrations.At that time, Americans didn't have access to supermarkets. But large numbers of wild turkeys lived on many people's land, making them easy to get for the big meal. Compared to more expensive meats, turkey also provided a much lower price and could feed larger groups of people because it weighed more. These made turkey a practical and appealing choice, contributing to its long-lasting popularity as a centerpiece for Thanksgiving feasts.Today, turkey continues to stand as the star of the Thanksgiving feast, symbolizing tradition, warmth, and the cherished moments shared with loved ones around the table.8、What is the historians' opinion about the original Thanksgiving meal?A. Turkey was unlikely to be served as a main course.B. It was shared by two groups of Wampanoag people.C. It was possibly started with deer meat as a side dish.D. The food only included meat from some wild animals.9、When was Thanksgiving first celebrated officially?A. In 1621.B. In 1789.C. In 1827.D. In 1863.10、Why did turkey become popular as a centerpiece for Thanksgiving meals?A. It had unique cultural value.B. It tasted much more delicious.C. It had more benefits for health.D. It was cheaper and easier to get.11、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How Did Turkey Became the Centerpiece of Thanksgiving?B. What Was the Centerpiece of the “First Thanksgiving”?C. Why Did We Start to Celebrate Thanksgiving Day?D. What Does the Thanksgiving Meal Symbolize?As Earth's climate continues to change, a plant's ability to adapt to its changing environment is important to its survival. Often, to stay alive, a plant must move locations by releasing its seeds, but plants are rooted in the ground and cannot move themselves. Instead, they are dependent on animals or the wind to carry their seeds to a new location.Playing an essential part in an ecosystem (生态系统) , plants create resources like food and medicine for us human beings. A team of researchers developed the model to better understand how plants can stay resiliency (韧性) when facing challenges like climate change.“Once seeds are released from a plant, we wanted to know how far they can go because as wind conditions shake, the seeds will be moved around differently because of various weights, sizes, and shapes,” says Binbin Wang, an assistant professor at the University of Missouri.Changes in one part of the ecosystem can create a “snowball effect” on other parts.That's why understanding seed spread is important. Plants can only make this move once during their life—as a seed, says Lauren Sullivan, an assistant professor at Michigan State University.“Understanding how plants move as seeds year-round is important for us to analyze how they'll be able to handle climate change,” Sullivan says. “This movement is also important for how we can increase diversity (多样性) in the ecosystem.”“We're now able to partner with researchers. This innovative approach can help us develop accurate models that are simple enough to make good predictions in a short time.”The model, which makes predictions based on seed and plant type, plant height, andwind speed, can develop an entire year's worth of predictive data in just one or two days. As part of their future work, the team will develop educational programming for K-12 and college students. For example, they will provide opportunities for college students to explore how different disciplines, such as agriculture, biological sciences, and engineering, can work together to solve different real-world problems.12、Why did the researchers develop the model?A. To learn how plants handle challenges like climate change.B. To find out what helps seeds travel to different places.C. To study the effects climate change has on plants.D. To create more food and medicine resources.13、Which of the following may not influence how far a seed can travel according to Binbin Wang?A. Its weight.B. Its location.C. Its size.D. Its shape.14、What can we learn about the “movement” of plants from paragraph 4 and 5?A. It is caused by the change of the climateB. It can happen during the whole life of a plant.C. It has an effect on other parts of the ecosystemD. It's hard to be predicted for the diversity of ecosystem.15、What do the researchers plan to do next?A. Explore different disciplines for college students.B. Work together to solve different real-world problems.C. Develop educational programming for students to explore.D. Make valuable predictions about the type and height of the plants“Hey! The thermometer (温度计) reading shows 39℃ !” shouted Lily.“What? This is critical right?” questioned Bella as she touched Emily's forehead. “You are burning now. How do you feel?” she continued. “Terrible”, replied Emily with a weak voice.Lily said, “I'll get her some medicine from the doctor and a sound sleep will help her get better I guess.”Emily, Bella, Lily and Anna were roommates and friends. These four were always together. But Emily and Anna were much closer to each other. As Emily's father passed away when she was12 and lived only with her mother, she just considered Anna her family. So although Emily was surrounded by Lily and Bella, she needed Anna by her side. However, toher great disappointment, Anna wasn't there.“Where is Anna? Where has she gone?” asked Emily.“She rushed out just now. But she didn't tell us where she went,” replied Bella.Hearing Bella's words, Emily started to feel angry towards her friend. She had fever and was in pain. How could she just went out without any explanation? She started thinking Anna was selfish and decided not to talk to her any more.In the evening, Anna finally returned. But Emily just refused to talk to her until her mother called to ask about her health.“How are you feeling, my dear?” asked Emily's mother.“I'm much better now mom. But how do you know I'm having a fever?” Emily didn't know why her mother had known her illness.“I called you this morning. I fell off the ladder when I was trying to repair the roof, but you didn't answer. Then I called Anna and told her what had happened. She said you were asleep because of the fever. And she just rushed to our house and took me to the hospital. But don't worry, the doctor had checked me. There is nothing serious and I just need some rest.”16、根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项。

AMy senior year in high school was one of the best years of my life. I had a lot of encouragement and the teachers really cared about their students. I was an office assistant, which helped me to be part of all the popular groups. When you work in the office, everyone comes to you for help, including the teachers whom I had a good relationship with. When trouble came my way, they would stand up for me.I met Mr. Helms, the bus driver at Forest High School. My parents sent me there forone year before the new high school was built. I would sit on the front seat of the bus just to talk with him. He was an old guy, but he was cool. I was the first student to enter Edward H. White High School. My bus driver friend made sure of it.He told all of us to meet him at the bus stop an hour early and he would take us to our new high school. He told me I would be the first student to enter it. He was good for his word. He made everyone else wait until I went through the front door. I felt really great to be treated that way.Mr. Helms had a big effect on my life. He gave me wise advice and if I had always listened to him, I would have stayed out of trouble. He could see trouble coming and tried to warn me, but being a stubborn (固执的) teenager, I did not always listen.Sometimes I dream about those days. It feels just like I am back in high school. Senior high is the year for decisions. I wish I had made better ones. The choices I made that final year have affected and will affect me for the rest of my life. I would go right back to high school if I could and if I was asked what year I wanted to go to, I would choose the year of 1996, the year I graduated.21.

However, in Washington, D.C., some vending machines are providing a new snack -- free children' s books.The Book Vending Machine program started by JetBlue Airlines is the first of its kind in the U.S. Dozens of books that attract children are within reach, at the push of a button...stories about elephants, robots and lots of other things. The vending machines are placed in a church and a supermarket. Each machine is fully stocked (储备) with books and children are allowed to take as many as they want. Icema Gibbs is director of JetBlue Airlines. He thinks that making sure that kids develop a life-long love for reading is really important.Studies have shown that having books at home has a positive effect on children's test scores in school. It makes kids more likely to read for pleasure. Icema Gibbs explains, "Our program is based on trying to get books in the hands of children who don't have age-appropriate(适当年龄的) books at home. They can touch and pick a book that was important to them even if nobody, no adult was telling them what book they had to take." This year, JetBlue Airlines carried out a study. It found that in many families, there was only one age-appropriate book available (可用的) for every 830 kids. One book vending machine inside a church is one of three in a poor neighborhood in the city. In the neighborhood, many parents cannot afford to buy books for their children."Books tell you many things. The program is wonderful," one boy said excitedly. "It helps me read better," another boy added. Many kids agree.This is a pilot program (试点工程) and it' s not clear whether it will be continued after the summer. The program hopes to make book vending machines common in other communities, so they can help increase literacy and a love for reading.32.
