    As long as everyone contributes a little, the world will become a much better place. Most people are kind-hearted and want to lend a helping hand. Now let's share some memorable moments.

Linda: Once, when I was on my way back to my hometown, I lost my purse without even knowing it. I was told over the train's loudspeaker that my purse was at the railway station's lost and found office. But the train had already started. Seeing my helplessness, a kind hostess offered to lend me some money. I went back to the railway station and got my purse. I am still thankful to the railway staff and the person who found my purse.

Scott: When I was a little boy, there was a time when I went to fish with my elder sister. All of a sudden, I slipped into the river. The next thing I remember is my father holding me in the hospital. Today I still don't know who got me out of that river. I have been trying to help other people whenever I can all these years.

Tina: One of my neighbors is an old man who cannot speak. He makes money by recycling waste. Our other neighbors don't like his behavior. But in my opinion, it's his way to support his family. Once, after cleaning my house, I placed some cardboard boxes in his garden and left my rubbish beside my door. However, when I was about to go out, I found nothing outside my door but a note:" I have thrown away your rubbish. You are a nice girl. Thanks a lot!"

Dear August,

    Welcome to the world! Your mom and I are so excited to see who you will become.

When your sister was born, we wrote a letter about the world we hoped she and now you will grow up in—a world with better education,         , stronger communities, and greater equality (平等).We wrote that with all the progress in science and technology, your generation (一代人) should live much better lives than ours, and we have a responsibility (责任) to do our part to make that happen.

    But rather than write about growing up, we want to talk about childhood. The world can be a serious place. That's why it's important to make time to go outside and play.

    You will be busy when you're older, so I hope you take time to smell all the flowers and put all the leaves you want in your bucket now. I hope you read your favorite Dr. Seuss books so many times you started inventing your own stories about the Vipper of VIPP. I hope you ride the carousel (旋转木马) with Max until you have tamed (驯服) every color horse. I hope you run as many laps (圈) around our living room and yards as you want. And then I hope you take a lot of naps. I hope you're a great sleeper. And I hope even in your dreams you feel how much we love you. Childhood is magical. You only get to be a child once, so don't spend it worrying too much about future. You have got us for that, and we'll do everything we possibly can to make sure the world is a better place for you and all the children in your generation. August, we love you so much and we're so excited to go on this adventure with you. We wish you a life of joy, love and the same hope you give us.

Love,

Mom and Dad

阅读下列材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

    When you think of money, you probably think of "cash" (现金). These are the paper notes and metal coins you use to buy things with. The first paper money was invented in China, and has been used for thousands of years. But in the near future, we may not use this type of money any more. Does this mean the end of money?

    Actually, only small percentage (百分比) of money is cash. Over 90%of money today exists inside computers at banks. It is mostly digital, just numbers. We also use cash less and less. Since the credit card was invented in the 1950s, people have used their "plastic" to pay for things more and more. Using a card is quick and easy. You don't have to carry around heavy change and count it. We also do more and more shopping online, so we don't need cash for that.

    In the near future, we probably won't use plastic cards either. All payments will be digital. We can already use our smartphones to pay. Soon, there will be shops we can walk in, take what we want and walk out, without waiting or counting money. Technology in the shop will know what we take.

    Of course, money will always exist in some forms. People will always need a way to buy and sell things and store their wealth. But the days of cash are numbered. This will make things easier, but it is also a pity. Paper money and coins are nice to look at and they show us something about where we are. It is also true that using cash makes us spend less money, because we feel we are losing something when we spend it. However, when we make plastic or digital payments, we don't feel this, and so spend more.

    Debt is something necessary, but it can be a big problem. Whatever money looks like in the future, we shouldn't spend money we don't have!

    This summer, thousands of visitors are walking in through a garden in the sky. It is right in the middle of New York City. They are enjoying a beautiful, new park called the High Line, which was built on old railway tracks.

    After the railway was no longer used in 1980, wild plants, grass and trees began to grow between the tracks. A few people looked at this natural garden and saw something amazing. They worked to protect the area when others wanted to pull it down. Today, the High Line attracts up to 2 million visitors every year. This summer, the new part of the High Line started, almost doubling the park's size to one mile.

    The design of the park is special. The new part includes many activities for children. Young people can use building toys, including wood, wheels, ropes, gears and tools, to create one-of-a kind structures(构造). The toys don't come with instructions. Instead, children use their imaginations to fashion houses, animals and machines.

     "Everyone supporting the High Line project wanted the park to go around the city," says Danya Sherman, director of public programs for the Friends of the High Line. The Friends of the High Line is the group that saved the railway from pulling down. Sherman believes that public spaces such as the High Line have the power to bring communities closer.

    The park also gives visitors a chance to experience nature in the city. The designers have allowed the park to keep the overgrown feeling that it had when it was an unused track. If you visit, you can see birds, butterflies and many plants that grow in the northeastern United States.

    The Friends of the High Line hope to make the park even larger, over an area that is still used as a rail yard. The High Line has also inspired projects in other cities, including Philadelphia, Chicago, and Amsterdam, where people hope to build new parks on old railway tracks.

    The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia.

    People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel along the Silk Road about 3,000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road had covered almost 6,500 kilometers. It stretched from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.

    Merchants(商人) travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices, cloth, gold and so on.

    During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. It also allowed the sharing of precious goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from Armenian, Indian, Chinese and other areas. All these people travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.

    In modern times, the old Silk Road routes are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels. There is even a Silk Road Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35,000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.
