21、In April 2014，the world's oldest known message in a bottle was discovered floating in theBaltic Sea. It had spent 101 years lost in the ocean！The message was finally sent to the author's granddaughter.
A German fisherman named Konrad Fischer found the brown bottle near Kiel，Germany. He said he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. Then he noticed something inside.
The bottle in good condition contained a Danish postcard with two German stamps，dated May 17，1913. Although dampness had made most of the writing illegible（字迹模糊的），thereadable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in Berlin. It even contained two stamps to pay for postage.
From the address，researchers found that the postcard was written by a man named Richard Platz，who was 20 years old when he wrote the message. While he was hiking on the Baltic coast with a nature appreciation group，he threw the bottle into the sea. Then the researchers began a search for any living relatives of his. Sure enough，they were able to find his 62-year-old granddaughter，Angela Erdmann，who still lives in Berlin.
“It was almost unbelievable，”Erdmann said upon being presented with her grandfather's bottle and message.“That was a pretty moving moment. Tears rolled down my face."
Erdmann never knew her grandfather，who died in 1946，but says that the discovery of the bottle has made her want to learn more about him.
The bottle remained on display at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg until May 1 ．After that，the researchers examined the postcard and tried to figure out the meaning of the rest of the message.
Previously，the oldest message found in a bottle spent nearly 98 years at sea and was discovered in April 2012，according to Guinness World Records.

The world’s richest man might seem to have it all，but Bill Gates has one regret．The self-made billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages．
Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session for online forum Reddit(红迪网)，the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French，Arabic or Chinese．
He said：“I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A's and I guess it helps my vocabulary．I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest．I did Duolingo for a while but didn’t keep it up．”
Gates，who is worth $79．3 billion，praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese．“Mark Zuckerberg amazingly leamed Chinese and did a Q&A with Chinese students—unbelievable，isn’t it?”he said．

As he took the top spot on Forbes(福布斯)28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time，he said he is pretty basic when it comes to so ending on clothes and food，but that he enjoys investing in shoes and racquets(球拍)when he plays tennis．
When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way，the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break．‘‘Don’t stay up too late even if the book is really exciting．You will regret it in the morning．Pam still working on this problem，”he said．

23、“We need to shampoo the patient s hair,” said Kristen, a physician assistant. Operating room nurse Jess seconded the idea. With the two of them advocating, it needed to happen.
Somehow for the last 23 years, as a man with short hair, I’d always considered a wash with water to be enough to clean a patient’s hair after surgery. We would wash it the day after. That’s just how we’d done things. But why not wash it in the operating room before the patient wakes up? The literature suggests no danger, so I went along with Kristen and Jess, and bought good shampoo.
The first time we did it, it seemed a little time-wasting. If it was about surgical cleanliness, it wasn’t required. As we continued to wash the patient’s hair, I began to notice the effect it had on everyone else in the room. The shampoo transformed the room to a spa for just a few minutes. The patient was the subject of the cleansing, but we benefited too. It was a quiet, collective feeling, knowing that we were finishing our work well. The sweet smell of washing fixed that in our minds.
Patients say they don’t care about hair, but they do. It can be a symbol of power or beauty, as with Samson or Rapunzel. A contemporary example, hair in Namwali Serpell’s novel The Old Drifts serves as a symbol of individual and personality. People definitely care about their hair.
Washing the hair with nice shampoo symbolizes the beginning of some kind of recovery, a return to a new normal for the patient, cleansing away the misfortune that caused them to need me.
We sent the patient out of the room with clean hair, knowing and showing that we’d cared for them well. The patient is more than a case—they’re a fellow human, after all. A postsurgical shampoo seems like a good talisman (护身符), and it’s not time-wasting.
【1】What can we learn about the first hair-washing experience in the operating room?
A．The patient was a man with short hair.
B．The idea was first put forward by Jess
C．The experience was a total waste of time.
D．The author realized various benefits afterwards.
【2】What’s the author’ s purpose in writing paragraph 4?
A．To explain the power of beauty.
B．To show what hair means to people.
C．To introduce a classic book about hair.
D．To discuss the effect of hair on personality.
【3】What will the author probably do in the future?
A．Wash patients’ hair before surgery.
B．Stop wasting time on hair-washing.
C．Continue to shampoo patients’ hair.
D．Give patients talismans for good luck.
【4】Which of the following best describes the author as a doctor?
A．Honest.
B．Ambitious.
C．Caring.
D．Generous.
24、If you’re looking to get on top of your personal finances, but don’t know where to start, there are plenty of simple lifestyle swaps (替换) that could help you make your money last longer.
Go for own-brand foods
Branded products are well known for being more expensive than own-brand items, even though there’s generally not much difference in flavour. 【1】. Save the extra pennies for fresh goods instead of put them in your savings account.
Try creating your own takeaway
【2】. A great way to reduce the cost is to make your own, also known as a ‘fakeaway’. It can be just as delicious at a small amount of the cost. Cooking tools have boomed in the last two years and for good reason. While ordering costs much, a set of household tools will set you back less than dining out.
【3】
People often stay with their bank or credit card provider because it seems annoying and inconvenient to change, but in reality it’s not and doing so could see you harvest the rewards. For example, you can look at six key aspects: interest rates, overdraft (透支) limits, monthly fees, cash back, benefits and payments with contact. 【4】
Swap the gym for home workouts
Gym memberships can cost a small fortune, but if there’s anything we’ve learned to embrace (欣然接受) in the past two years, it’s home workouts. Buy a bicycle or basic weights that will save you money in the long term, or try an online class. 【5】. This will not only let you reconnect with nature, but it’s all free, too.
A．Have your own bank account
B．Make your bank work for you
C．Ordering takeout may account for a large part of daily expenses
D．When the weather improves, plan hikes or other outdoor activities
E．If you still want the gym atmosphere sometimes, try getting a free day
F．In fact, usually what you’re paying for is fancier packaging, rather than its contents
G．These will change regularly, so ensure you have the latest information before making the switch
