Passage 2

Download an app, open it, place your order, and wait for your food to be

delivered to your home — this is a picture of how many people eat in China these

days. According to the latest data from the China Internet Network Information

Center, 421 million Chinese people use online food delivery services. That ’ sequal to half of the total number of internet users in China.

Which group of people is ordering food online the most? Unsurprisingly, it ’s mainly young people. A recent report that was jointly （联合 ） published by theChina Hospitality Association and Meituan, a food delivery service, showed that

86.3 percent of the service ’ ussers are between 20 and 34 years old. These people,who are more likely to live in small families, are the major force driving the

development of the food

delivery industry.

Small families depend greatly on food delivery services. According to the

National Bureau of Statistics, Chinese families have changed in size over the pastdecade. In 2002, only 7.7 percent of families were singleperson households. But4

this number increased to 15.6 percent in 2017. The percentage of two-person familiesrose from 18.4 in 2002 to 27.2 in 2017. For small families, relatively, people

spend more time and resourcesin cooking, they think it ’ s a waste of time andresources, so ordering food online has become more popular, which is so convenient.The improvement of China ’ s food delivery services has also attracted more

customers. According to Meituan ’ s report, the average time it takes to make a

food delivery dropped from 38 minutes in 2016 to 29 minutes in 2019. Many deliveryplatforms are also offering more services, delivering products such as toys, fruits,

vegetables, medicine and flowers, even furniture and electrical equipment and so

on. As its services continue to improve, it ’ s more likely that the food deliveryindustry will keep growing.

Passage 1

Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because

their habitats are disappearing.

The scientists studied the migration, or flight, paths, of almost 1,500

species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous

areas. The major danger for migratory birds is development. Building and

paving have covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move

from one part of the world to another.

For example, a bird called the bar-tailed godwit migrates from its

breeding grounds in the Arctic. It flies all the way to Australia and New

Zealand. The problem, according to investigators, is that many of these

small birds die along their migration because they don't have a safe place

understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a

dream. My dream was athletics.

By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me

the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念).

One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant

a chance for money in my pocket — cash for dates with girls, certainly,

money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house

for my mother.

Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the

work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t

be playing. I was dreading (害怕) this, but my mother said: “If you make
