AWe traveled to Moscow, Russia for river sight-seeing. I had never been to Russia and my impression of that country was formed by what I heard and saw on television and in the newspaper. We were to be picked up at the airport by a driver who would then take us to the hotel and then go sightseeing. We arrived on time, got our baggage and went to the gate, but no one was waiting holding a sign with our names.We had the phone number of the driver and the travel agency but no phone worked in Russia. I noticed a young woman sitting next to me with a cell phone so I asked her if she spoke English and she replied “Yes”. Should she please call our driver, I would pay for the call, I asked. “No problem,” she replied and called both numbers but no one answered.A Russian woman holding a sign with someone’s name on it, not ours, must have overheard this conversation and took the paper and called both numbers. Again, no one answered. She shrugged and sat down and then her phone was ringing (the phone was from my driver) and in Russian she had a conversation.Then she started to tell me about the call from my driver, but in Russian. I said, “No Russian, English?” She said, “No English, Russian or Spanish.” The young woman who had made the first call said she spoke Spanish. So the Russian woman relayed (传达) the information from our driver to the young woman in Spanish. Then the young woman told the information to me in English.The three of us looked at each other and realized what had just happened and laughed and hugged each other. That was international kindness.21. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. The author came to Russia on business.B. The author knew Russia very well.C.

Things to Prepare During the TripBPlenty of exercise improves the academic performance (学习成绩) of teenagers, according to new research.The study, of about 5,000 children, found links between exercise and exam success in English, maths and science. It found an increase in performance for every extra 17 minutes exercise for boys, and 12 minutes for girls.The study by the University of Strathclyde and the University of Dundee found physical activity particularly benefited girls’ performance in science. The authors said this could be a chance to find or reflect gender differences in the impact (影响) of physical activity on the brain.Most of the teenagers’ exercise levels were found to be well below the recommended 60 minutes a day. The authors wondered what might happen to academic performance if children got the recommended amount.They claimed that since every 15 minutes of exercise improved performance by an average of about a quarter of a grade, it was possible for children who carried out 60 minutes of exercise every day to improve their academic performance by a full letter grade — for example, from a Cto a B, or a B to an A.However, the authors admitted this was speculation given that very few children did this amount of exercise.Dr. Josie Booth, one of the leaders of the study, from the University of Dundee said, “Physical activity is mor e than just important for your physical health. There are other benefits and those are something that should be especially important to parents, policymakers and people involved in education.”The authors of the study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, said further research backing the findings could have implications for public health and education policy.25.

When the father goes to the hotel he finds 800 young men named Paco waiting for their fathers.What draws them to the hotel?

She rolls her eyes and says, “What’s this for?”“Read the card,” Mom instructs.Her daughter takes out the card and reads it. Tears start to run down her cheeks. She gets up and lovingly hugs her Mom as the card falls to the floor. On the card are these words: “This rock is more than 200,000,000 years old. That is how long it will take before I give up on you.”This mother doesn’t say, “I will love you IF...” Instead, she says that she will love her daughter forever and nothing can change that.
