25、Dear Audrey,

You are much older now, and hopefully wiser, although sometimes that’s not the case. You have probably forgotten about me.

I’m 12-year-old you feeling terribly nervous and stressed, hating online learning, in this horrible pandemic... I could go on and on. Does this bring any memory back to you?

Anyway, maybe there are time machines in the time where you are, but there aren’t any here, so I’m doing the next best thing: I’m writing you a letter that I hope you read every year on New Year’s Day, or New Year’s Eve.

I’ve come from 2020 to remind you not to forget. I’m sitting on my bed right now, tears still on my face from a fight with my mom ( I love her more than anything or anyone, but we’ve spent too much time together), and aware of the light blue masks hanging on the hooks next to the door in my kitchen. In a way, it still feels like March, when this whole crazy thing started. I’m sick of it.

I am begging you to remember. I didn’t get to spend Thanksgiving with my beloved grandparents, when I’d been waiting so long to act normally(正常地) with them and pod up. Now, it looks like I won’t be spending Christmas with them normally either. In America (where I live), the Coronavirus numbers are higher than they’ve ever been. I am hoping and am going to pray (祈祷) for a Christmas miracle (奇迹), but I have my doubts because I hoped for an Easter miracle and that didn’t happen.

I am having a hard time and would do anything to get out of 2020 and this pandemic, to see my friends and family normally. You are able to do that. You have what I want so badly. So please, I strongly advise you to enjoy your life, your friends, your family, your experiences.

Remember — everything is replaceable and unimportant, but people are the only true thing that matter in this modern-day world.

Love your life, and be filled with joy this year.

Sincerely,

You, age 12, Audrey in 2020, the Pandemic Year.

27、In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second-largest maker of smartphones behind Korea’s Samsung. It has also become the world’s largest supplier (供应商) of 5G.

But in 2019, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U.S. government ordered a ban (禁令) on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U. S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt.

“We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information,” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s founder and president said. “The ban from the U.S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.” Ren added.

Facing the ban of the U.S., Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunication equipment (电信设备) supplier, selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

【1】Which company is the largest supplier of 5G in the world?

A．Apple.

B．Huawei.

C．Samsung.

D．Nokia.

【2】Why did the U. S. order a ban on Huawei?

A．Huawei’s sales in America were growing faster than Apple.

B．Huawei refused to supply services to the U.S. government.

C．They didn’t want Apple to sell parts and services to Huawei.

D．They thought Huawei collected information for the Chinese government.

【3】What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A．Huawei will grow slowly.

B．Huawei is full of hope.

C．Huawei’s sales will be doubled.

D．Huawei is the largest smartphone maker.

29、Larry seemed always silent and didn’t have any friend. His teacher Mr. Brown noticed this. One day, he asked Larry to meet him after class. Mr. Brown said, “I see that you don’t talk to anyone or show any ________ in anything. What’s wrong?” Larry replied, “Sir, I have a very difficult life. I have to face some very sad things and I keep ________ them. Because of this, I can’t pay my attention to anything and don’t even want to talk to ________.”

Mr. Brown listened carefully, thought for a while and said, “Would you like some lemonade (柠檬汽⽔)?” Larry felt a little ________ and nervously replied, “Yes, thank you!”

While ________ lemonade, Mr. Brown added more salt on purpose and kept the amount (数量) of sugar low. Larry made a strange face as soon as he drank a very small amount of that lemonade. Seeing this, Mr. Brown asked “You don’t like it?” “Um...it’s just there is a bit too much ________ in it,” Larry answered. Mr. Brown stopped him, “Oh, it doesn’t matter. I will throw it away.” As the teacher was lifting the glass to take it away, Larry stopped him and said, “Sir, please don’t throw it away. ________ we put a little more sugar in the lemonade, it will be fine to drink.”

Hearing this, Mr. Brown said ________, “This is what I want to hear from you. To improve the ________ of lemonade, we don’t need to take away the salt from it, we can just add some sugar to it. Similarly, we cannot take away sad things that have already happened to us, but we can add sweetness of good experiences in our life.
