Well done, Javier, on all your hard work this term, You are always active in speaking activities, and
this is great. I always enjoy rending your welting, too. You have very good ideas. You can see from
your marks that rending is not a problem for you,
Sometimes you still make small grammar mistakes, and I think you can improve your vocabulary. I
recommend you review many of the language points we have studied this term. There is extra
language practice in your online workbook.
The area you need to work on most is listening. I know this is difficult for you. I recommend more
practice at home, Listen to English TV shows, podcasts (
播客
) and radio as much as possible. I can
give you a list of things to listen to.
I’ve enjoyed working with you. Have a nice holiday, and good luck for next term!
Teacher’s name: Erin Gibbs

Colin and Donna Craig-Brown were working in their New Zealand garden in late August. They were
removing unwanted plants when they found something strange. After a little digging, Colin
discovered there was a very large potato growing in his garden. And they never planted potatoes!
“We couldn’t believe it, ” Donna said. “It was just huge. ” The couple worked the potato out of the
soil and brought it to a scale . It weighed almost 8 kilograms.
The potato may be the largest ever recorded. In 2011, a large potato from Great Britain weighed just
under 5 kilograms. The New Zealand potato, now named Doug, could break the record. The Craig-
Browns asked Guinness(
吉尼斯
) to recognize their potato as the largest ever. They are waiting to
hear from the organization.
The potato has become famous in the town of Hamilton, Colin took Doug on walks round the
neighborhood, “We put a hat on him. We put him on Facobook, taking him for a walk, giving him
some sunshine, ” Colin said. “It’s all a bit of fun. ”
Colin said he does not have any special gardening methods to pass on. Normally, he and his wife
fertilize(
施肥
) their garden with waste from cows and dried grasses. The Craig-Browns were
growing cucumbers(
黄瓜
)in that part of the garden, so they didn’t expect there was a potato. It may
have been growing for two years or more.
The potato is getting a little old now, two months after it was taken from the ground.
Right now, it is in the freezer.

At the beginning of the 21st century China had no high-speed railways. Traveling on trains in China
was slow and uncomfortable. With low average speeds, it would take a long time to travel between
major cities like Shanghai and Beijing.
Today, China already has the world’s largest network of high-speed railways. No fewer than 37, 900
kilometers(about 23, 500 miles) of lines cross the country, linking all of its major mega-city
clusters(
特大城市群
), and all have been completed since 2008, with a further 3, 700 kilometers due
to open in the coming months of 2021. The network is expected to double in length again, to 70, 000
kilometers, by 2035.
With trains reaching speeds of up to 350 kph on many lines, intercity travel has been changed and
the control of airlines has been broken on the busiest routes. By 2020, 75% of Chinese cities with a
population of 500, 000 or more had a high-speed rail link.
In comparison, Spain has about 3, 218 kilometers of high-speed rail lines built for operation at over
250 kph. At the same time, the UK currently has just 107 kilometers while the United States has a
735. 5 kilometers railway line connecting highly developed areas.
As China seeks to grow its influence across Asia and into Europe and Africa through the significant
“Belt and Road Initiative(
一带一路倡议
)”, rail is playing a key part in creating the new “Silk Road”
it desires.
Although its trains are now among the fastest in the world, China is also spending significant funds
on the development of maglev(
磁悬浮
) technology, which will allow it to operate passenger services
at up to 620 kph - well beyond the current limits of steel wheel on steel mails.

A
．

As online schooling took effect during the influenza pandemic(
大流感
), parents across the United
States noted that many children did not have their own learning areas at home.
One father, named Mitch Couch, lives in central California. His 16-year-old daughter and 9-year-old
son are both studying from home. And they kept taking over the kitchen table for their online school
lessons, which gave the father an idea — he would make them their own desks.
After seeing how it helped his family, he had a thought: Why not provide other children with their
own desks — ones that they could decorate with stickers and fun paint?
His idea was to show others how to build desks for their children. He made a quick YouTube video
to guide parents in desk-making.
The desks he made were child-size, simple and not costly. Couch said that he built children’s desks
for about $20. He made them from plywood(
胶合板
). A single piece of plywood, 1. 2 meters by 2. 4
meters, made four desks. He also added a built-in area for books and papers. It was a simple
structure(
结构
), but it worked.
Leaders of a wood store saw his video online. They offered to provide materials if he would build
more. They also contacted local school officials to help students in need.
The first order was for around 20 desks. But it quickly increased at least 50 more.
On a recent day, Couch was building more than 10 desks in an area outside of his house. He has
made many of these desks. So, he can build one in just about 15 minutes.
He has received many thank-you messages and pictures from parents. Some parents said that their
children were “doing better and focusing more” because they have their own space.
12. What was Couch’s purpose of making desks for children?
A
．
to receive many thanks.
C
．
to cheer them up at home.
13. How did Mitch Couch help other parents at first?
A
．
By collecting money.
C
．
By sharing a guiding video.
B
．
By providing materials.
D
．
By answering questions.
B
．
to give them learning areas.
D
．
to show desk-making skills.
