Due to social events in recent years, the relationship between social media and teenagers mental health has been under heated discussion.
On Sept 30, a British court decided that content on social media platforms contributed to the depression of 14-year-old Molly Russell. Russell interacted with 2,100 posts related to pessimistic, self-harm in the six months, leading up to her depression, reported the Observer website.
The correlation has also been proved by science. A study in 2019 showed that the frequent use of social media by teenagers can lead to a decrease in their mental health.
So, how can we make sure that teenagers won’t get hurt while using social media? Chan, 18, from the University of Macao shared her experience. Chan said that she once came across short videos romanticizing mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. She immediately reported them to the platform.
But she said that the users’ power to regulate videos is still limited. “It is ultimately the responsibility of the social media platforms to filter out content that is potentially harmful.” She also noticed that the age of social media users has become increasingly younger. Society should pay attention to this, she said. “Since it’s not possible to cut off access to social media for younger users, why not introduce a ‘supervision mode’ with which parents can regulate the content to be viewed by teenagers beforehand?” she said.
Wu Chengyu, 18, studies at Tianjin Experimental High School. He said that several years ago he came across a game that lures teenagers to self-abuse and depression. He quickly chose to ignore it so he wouldn’t be influenced. This is the same way he reacts when exposed to negative content on social media.
In Wu’s opinion, teenagers today should improve their social media literacy(素养), telling real from fake and good from bad. “Also, everyone can be a content creator on social media.” he said, “We should all strengthen our awareness of ethics”.
4．What led to Russell’s depression according to a British court?
A．Her interaction with others online.
B．Negative information on social media platforms.
C．Short videos she watched on the Internet.
D．Her addiction to online posts.
5．Which of the following statements does Chan probably agree with?
A．The number of younger social media users should be limited.
B．Parents should monitor the content to be viewed by teenagers in advance.
C．A supervision mode ought to be introduced by parents.
D．It is the responsibility of the society to romanticize mental illnesses.
6．Who should be ultimately responsible for removing negative content according to Chan?
A．Parents. B．Internet users.
C．Content creators. D．Social media platforms.
7．What does Wu suggest teenagers should do?
A．Use social media wisely. B．Reduce social media usage.
C．Stay away from online games. D．Learn more about social media.
China’s birthrate has dropped to its lowest level since 1978. Data released by the country’s national bureau of statistics shows there were 8.5 births per 1,000 people in 2020, the first time in decades that the figure has fallen below 10. The statistical yearbook, released at the weekend, said the natural rate of population growth-taking in births and deaths—was at a new low of 1.45.
The government is under pressure to prevent a potential population decline after decades of policies on childbirth and more recent pressures including high living costs. It did not give reasons for the dramatic drop, but demographers (人口统计学家) have previously pointed to the relatively low number of women of child-bearing age and the rising cost of raising a family.
Governments and local authorities have introduced a series of policies seeking to turn around the trend, from relaxing limits on having children, to easing costs associated with education and child raising, and introducing mandatory (强制的)“cooling off” periods for divorces. China’s yearbook revealed a fall in divorces for the first time since at least 1985, to about 4.3m, though there were also fewer marriages, 8.14m, compared with 9. 27m the year before.
But it appears the government’s policies have so far failed to adequately address young people’s concerns about the costs associated with having children. What the Chinese government is doing has already been done by the Japanese government, and the former is not as rich as the latter. Japan can provide free healthcare and education, but China can’t.
Yao Meixiong, a demographics expert and adjunct professor at Huaqiao University’s school of economics and finance, told the local outlet Jiemian that the low levels of desire to have children was a wake-up call for China’s development.
“The response to the population crisis is in a race against time, and measures to encourage childbirth must speed up,” Yao said.
8．According to the text, what might be a cause of the potential population decline in China?
A．High costs of child raising. B．The decreasing family income.
C．Relaxed limits on having children. D．The low number of women wanting children.
9．Why is the Japanese government mentioned in paragraph 4?
A．To stress the importance of a country’s wealth.
B．To praise the success of the Japanese government.
C．To show the weakness of the Chinese government’s policies.
D．To compare the Chinese and Japanese government’s welfare systems.
10．What is Yao Meixiong’s attitude towards the low birthrate in China?
A．Tolerant. B．Concerned. C．Hopeful. D．Favorable.
11．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Chinese Government Seeks to Increase Population
B．China’s Yearbook Shows Low Population Growth
C．Experts Analyze the Reasons for the Low Birthrate
D．Chinese Birthrate Falls to Lowest Level in Decades
Memories are such an important part of us. Some people are more forgetful by nature. Others may start having difficulties remembering things as they get older, especially when there are memory-related diseases like Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默症) in their family. That’s why classes like Breaking Grounds in Drumming, a program by Tony Bennett and Chris Lavidas that uses instruments and music techniques to help senior students drum up memories are so important.
The process of creating a memory, preserving it and being able to recover it as needed is a complex one. Our brains need to get the information, translate it into a usable piece of data and then store it in a way that allows us to access it when necessary. Sound frequency, explains Making Music Mag, published by a community that connects music makers, is the internal communication system of the brain. Different frequencies activate particular parts of the brain. By tapping areas of the brain linked to memory and emotions with the correct technique, in this case through music-and drumming, a person can then gain access to past events that would otherwise be lost.
Bennett and Lavidas created their program specifically for seniors in assisted living residences and memory care communities. Through this program, some of the seniors with Alzheimer’s can start to recover and preserve some of their lost memories. No experience is necessary to join these classes, and the benefits include intellectual and cognitive stimulation as well as enhanced hand-eye coordination. Besides, it is also an enjoyable hobby and allows the seniors to get some much needed social interaction too. The drumming sessions are engaging and require constant participation, from the students, which helps to stimulate their minds in many ways.
The organization estimates it has educated thousands of seniors over the past ten years. And although Alzheimer’s and dementia are conditions whose causes are still currently unknown, they have been able to find a helpful and enjoyable way for patients to make the most of living with their conditions.
12．What is the purpose of the program?
A．To inspire the elders’ love for music.
B．To spread knowledge about Alzheimer’s.
C．To assist seniors in recovering their memories.
D．To design instruments to help with students’ studies.
13．What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A．Music can help prevent memory loss for most people.
B．Music has a close link with the memory parts of our brains.
C．Highly emotional stimulation may lead to memory disorders.
D．Sound frequency decides how long a memory can be preserved.
14．According to the text, what does the underlined word “stimulate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．change B．wake C．control D．weaken
15．What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A．The popularity of the music program. B．The difficulties of seniors living alone.
C．Benefits of the program for participants. D．Ways to improve memories for the elderly.

Thanksgiving Foods That Are Poisonous to Cats and Dogs
Thanksgiving is a time to feast and spend time with family-which includes your cats, dogs, and other pets. 16
Can cats and dogs eat turkey? According to the American Kennel Club, it depends. As it turns out, turkey isn’t actually “poisonous” for your companion, rather, its additional flavorings like butter, oil, stuffing, herbs, and spices are what may result in an upset stomach. 17
18 “No matter what form they’re in (dry, raw, cooked, powder, or within other foods), onions are some of the absolute worst foods you could possibly give your pup (it’s poisonous for dogs, and it’s even worse for cats),” says Sadie Cornelius, Marketing Director for Canine Journal. Your safest bet? Skip the onion altogether.
One of the best parts of Thanksgiving? Dessert! 19 . An ingredient in chocolate called theobromine, which is similar to caffeine, is extremely poisonous for cats and dogs. This may result in vomiting, diarrhea, and seizures (痉挛)—it can even be fatal.
Mushrooms? Well, at least wild mushrooms. Store-bought mushrooms are OK to feed to your pet, but stay away from wild mushrooms. “Just as the wrong mushroom can be fatal to humans, the same applies to dogs and cats,” says Cornelius. “Don’t mess with them.” 20 .
Make sure you properly dispose of food wrappings like aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and wax paper. While licking up food left on these wrappings pets can ingest some of the wrapper, leading to intestinal obstructions.
A．Stick to dog biscuits and kitty treats instead of this sugary food.
B．Unfortunately, you can’t share your chocolate bar with your pets.
C．But before you let them eat something off your plate, you may want to think twice.
D．Just take a good care of your pets during the festival.
E．Of course, all meat should be well cooked and always boneless.
F．Instead, check out the food before feeding your pets.
G．Onions are a huge no-no when it comes to cats and dogs.

Dear Tom,
Delighted to know that you expect to experience Chinese culture during this summer holiday trip in China, I’d like to recommend the following activities to you.
Visiting a Chinese school is a great way to catch a glimpse of what’s like to study under the Chinese system which is quite different from yours. Never miss the chance of cooking Chinese dishes in a local home to experience the differences in meal preparation, cooking techniques, and even the way food is eaten. Some traditional Chinese games like Chinese chess, Chinese jump rope, Jacks passed down from ancient pastimes are worth trying in a park.
I do hope you can immerse yourself in the culture tour based on my recommendation. Welcome to China!
Yours,
Li Hua

47．One possible version:
Before class began, Mello handed his friend the orange Nike box in private. When told it was a gift for him, Melvin was totally shocked and immensely touched at such a nice gesture from his friend. Mello beamed with a warm smile on his face, as if he had anticipated Melvin’s reaction, and whispered in his friend’s ear that there would be no more teasing from other kids about his worn-out shoes. After weeks of getting constant smirks about his sneakers, Melvin couldn’t wait to put on his new shoes. Looking at the shiny Nike shoes on Melvin’s feet, Mello was overjoyed.
Bryant Brown, the school’s social studies teacher, spotted the shoe box on Melvin’s desk. He asked Melvin for the backstory. It brought the teacher to tears. After asking for the two boys’ consent, he decided to share the story on Facebook, hoping it might inspire others. The post got thousands of likes, shares and comments. Brown was stunned by the response. He is now planning to launch an anti-bullying campaign in the coming weeks. Hundreds of students, parents and teachers have signed up for the activity with the hope that there’s no place in the world for bullies and Mello’s helping hand always lives on.

Due to social events in recent years, the relationship between social media and teenagers mental health has been under heated discussion.
On Sept 30, a British court decided that content on social media platforms contributed to the depression of 14-year-old Molly Russell. Russell interacted with 2,100 posts related to pessimistic, self-harm in the six months, leading up to her depression, reported the Observer website.
The correlation has also been proved by science. A study in 2019 showed that the frequent use of social media by teenagers can lead to a decrease in their mental health.
So, how can we make sure that teenagers won’t get hurt while using social media? Chan, 18, from the University of Macao shared her experience. Chan said that she once came across short videos romanticizing mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. She immediately reported them to the platform.
But she said that the users’ power to regulate videos is still limited. “It is ultimately the responsibility of the social media platforms to filter out content that is potentially harmful.” She also noticed that the age of social media users has become increasingly younger. Society should pay attention to this, she said. “Since it’s not possible to cut off access to social media for younger users, why not introduce a ‘supervision mode’ with which parents can regulate the content to be viewed by teenagers beforehand?” she said.
Wu Chengyu, 18, studies at Tianjin Experimental High School. He said that several years ago he came across a game that lures teenagers to self-abuse and depression. He quickly chose to ignore it so he wouldn’t be influenced. This is the same way he reacts when exposed to negative content on social media.
In Wu’s opinion, teenagers today should improve their social media literacy(素养), telling real from fake and good from bad. “Also, everyone can be a content creator on social media.” he said, “We should all strengthen our awareness of ethics”.
4．What led to Russell’s depression according to a British court?
A．Her interaction with others online.
B．Negative information on social media platforms.
C．Short videos she watched on the Internet.
D．Her addiction to online posts.
5．Which of the following statements does Chan probably agree with?
A．The number of younger social media users should be limited.
B．Parents should monitor the content to be viewed by teenagers in advance.
C．A supervision mode ought to be introduced by parents.
D．It is the responsibility of the society to romanticize mental illnesses.
6．Who should be ultimately responsible for removing negative content according to Chan?
A．Parents. B．Internet users.
C．Content creators. D．Social media platforms.
7．What does Wu suggest teenagers should do?
A．Use social media wisely. B．Reduce social media usage.
C．Stay away from online games. D．Learn more about social media.
China’s birthrate has dropped to its lowest level since 1978. Data released by the country’s national bureau of statistics shows there were 8.5 births per 1,000 people in 2020, the first time in decades that the figure has fallen below 10. The statistical yearbook, released at the weekend, said the natural rate of population growth-taking in births and deaths—was at a new low of 1.45.
The government is under pressure to prevent a potential population decline after decades of policies on childbirth and more recent pressures including high living costs. It did not give reasons for the dramatic drop, but demographers (人口统计学家) have previously pointed to the relatively low number of women of child-bearing age and the rising cost of raising a family.
Governments and local authorities have introduced a series of policies seeking to turn around the trend, from relaxing limits on having children, to easing costs associated with education and child raising, and introducing mandatory (强制的)“cooling off” periods for divorces. China’s yearbook revealed a fall in divorces for the first time since at least 1985, to about 4.3m, though there were also fewer marriages, 8.14m, compared with 9. 27m the year before.
But it appears the government’s policies have so far failed to adequately address young people’s concerns about the costs associated with having children. What the Chinese government is doing has already been done by the Japanese government, and the former is not as rich as the latter. Japan can provide free healthcare and education, but China can’t.
Yao Meixiong, a demographics expert and adjunct professor at Huaqiao University’s school of economics and finance, told the local outlet Jiemian that the low levels of desire to have children was a wake-up call for China’s development.
“The response to the population crisis is in a race against time, and measures to encourage childbirth must speed up,” Yao said.
8．According to the text, what might be a cause of the potential population decline in China?
A．High costs of child raising. B．The decreasing family income.
C．Relaxed limits on having children. D．The low number of women wanting children.
9．Why is the Japanese government mentioned in paragraph 4?
A．To stress the importance of a country’s wealth.
B．To praise the success of the Japanese government.
C．To show the weakness of the Chinese government’s policies.
D．To compare the Chinese and Japanese government’s welfare systems.
10．What is Yao Meixiong’s attitude towards the low birthrate in China?
A．Tolerant. B．Concerned. C．Hopeful. D．Favorable.
11．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Chinese Government Seeks to Increase Population
B．China’s Yearbook Shows Low Population Growth
C．Experts Analyze the Reasons for the Low Birthrate
D．Chinese Birthrate Falls to Lowest Level in Decades
Memories are such an important part of us. Some people are more forgetful by nature. Others may start having difficulties remembering things as they get older, especially when there are memory-related diseases like Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默症) in their family. That’s why classes like Breaking Grounds in Drumming, a program by Tony Bennett and Chris Lavidas that uses instruments and music techniques to help senior students drum up memories are so important.
The process of creating a memory, preserving it and being able to recover it as needed is a complex one. Our brains need to get the information, translate it into a usable piece of data and then store it in a way that allows us to access it when necessary. Sound frequency, explains Making Music Mag, published by a community that connects music makers, is the internal communication system of the brain. Different frequencies activate particular parts of the brain. By tapping areas of the brain linked to memory and emotions with the correct technique, in this case through music-and drumming, a person can then gain access to past events that would otherwise be lost.
Bennett and Lavidas created their program specifically for seniors in assisted living residences and memory care communities. Through this program, some of the seniors with Alzheimer’s can start to recover and preserve some of their lost memories. No experience is necessary to join these classes, and the benefits include intellectual and cognitive stimulation as well as enhanced hand-eye coordination. Besides, it is also an enjoyable hobby and allows the seniors to get some much needed social interaction too. The drumming sessions are engaging and require constant participation, from the students, which helps to stimulate their minds in many ways.
The organization estimates it has educated thousands of seniors over the past ten years. And although Alzheimer’s and dementia are conditions whose causes are still currently unknown, they have been able to find a helpful and enjoyable way for patients to make the most of living with their conditions.
12．What is the purpose of the program?
A．To inspire the elders’ love for music.
B．To spread knowledge about Alzheimer’s.
C．To assist seniors in recovering their memories.
D．To design instruments to help with students’ studies.
13．What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A．Music can help prevent memory loss for most people.
B．Music has a close link with the memory parts of our brains.
C．Highly emotional stimulation may lead to memory disorders.
D．Sound frequency decides how long a memory can be preserved.
14．According to the text, what does the underlined word “stimulate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．change B．wake C．control D．weaken
15．What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A．The popularity of the music program. B．The difficulties of seniors living alone.
C．Benefits of the program for participants. D．Ways to improve memories for the elderly.

Thanksgiving Foods That Are Poisonous to Cats and Dogs
Thanksgiving is a time to feast and spend time with family-which includes your cats, dogs, and other pets. 16
Can cats and dogs eat turkey? According to the American Kennel Club, it depends. As it turns out, turkey isn’t actually “poisonous” for your companion, rather, its additional flavorings like butter, oil, stuffing, herbs, and spices are what may result in an upset stomach. 17
18 “No matter what form they’re in (dry, raw, cooked, powder, or within other foods), onions are some of the absolute worst foods you could possibly give your pup (it’s poisonous for dogs, and it’s even worse for cats),” says Sadie Cornelius, Marketing Director for Canine Journal. Your safest bet? Skip the onion altogether.
One of the best parts of Thanksgiving? Dessert! 19 . An ingredient in chocolate called theobromine, which is similar to caffeine, is extremely poisonous for cats and dogs. This may result in vomiting, diarrhea, and seizures (痉挛)—it can even be fatal.
Mushrooms? Well, at least wild mushrooms. Store-bought mushrooms are OK to feed to your pet, but stay away from wild mushrooms. “Just as the wrong mushroom can be fatal to humans, the same applies to dogs and cats,” says Cornelius. “Don’t mess with them.” 20 .
Make sure you properly dispose of food wrappings like aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and wax paper. While licking up food left on these wrappings pets can ingest some of the wrapper, leading to intestinal obstructions.
A．Stick to dog biscuits and kitty treats instead of this sugary food.
B．Unfortunately, you can’t share your chocolate bar with your pets.
C．But before you let them eat something off your plate, you may want to think twice.
D．Just take a good care of your pets during the festival.
E．Of course, all meat should be well cooked and always boneless.
F．Instead, check out the food before feeding your pets.
G．Onions are a huge no-no when it comes to cats and dogs.

James listened to Mello’s narration with a thoughtful expression. Then, Mello earnestly asked, “Can we go buy him some shoes?”
James told her son they would talk about it when she got home from work. During their in-person conversation a few hours later, James found her son still upset. At last, Mello decided to buy his friend a fresh pair of sneakers to get rid of bullies and remind him that he has people who care about him.
“Can I use my pocket money, or you can take something away that I would get for Christmas?” Mello asked his mother.
The sincere request from her son hit James for many reasons, including that when she was growing up, her older brother used to buy her sneakers when her parents couldn’t afford them. Now, in their adult lives, James buys her brother a pair of sneakers for his birthday every year to show her gratitude. James was so touched by her little boy’s. genuine care for his friend and she knew how it would matter to the poor kid, Melvin.

8．细节理解题。从第二段的“It did not give reasons for the dramatic drop, but demographers (人口统计学家) have previously pointed to the relatively low number of women of child-bearing age and the rising cost of raising a family.(报告没有给出人口急剧下降的原因，但人口统计学家此前曾指出，育龄妇女数量相对较少，以及抚养家庭的成本不断上升。)”以及第四段的“But it appears the government’s policies have so far failed to adequately address young people’s concerns about the costs associated with having children.(但到目前为止，政府的政策似乎未能充分解决年轻人对生育成本的担忧。)”可知，导致中国潜在人口下降的原因可能是抚养孩子的成本高。故选A。
9．推理判断题。根据第四段“But it appears the government’s policies have so far failed to adequately address young people’s concerns about the costs associated with having children. What the Chinese government is doing has already been done by the Japanese government, and the former is not as rich as the latter. Japan can provide free healthcare and education, but China can’t.(但到目前为止，政府的政策似乎未能充分解决年轻人对生育成本的担忧。中国政府正在做的事情，日本政府已经做过了，而且中国政府没有日本政府有钱。日本可以提供免费医疗和教育，但中国不行。)”可知，第4段提到了日本政府是为了显示中国政府政策的弱点。故选C。
10．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Yao Meixiong, a demographics expert and adjunct professor at Huaqiao University’s school of economics and finance, told the local outlet Jiemian that the low levels of desire to have children was a wake-up call for China’s development.(人口统计专家、华侨大学经济与金融学院兼职教授Yao Meixiong在接受当地媒体界面采访时表示，低水平的生育意愿为中国的发展敲响了警钟。)”和最后一段的““The response to the population crisis is in a race against time, and measures to encourage childbirth must speed up,” Yao said.(“应对人口危机是在与时间赛跑，鼓励生育的措施必须加快，”Yao说。)”可知，Yao Meixiong对中国低出生率的态度是担忧的，故选B。

Data released by the country’s national bureau of statistics shows there were 8.5 births per 1,000 people in 2020, the first time in decades that the figure has fallen below 10. The statistical yearbook, released at the weekend, said the natural rate of population growth-taking in births and deaths—was at a new low of 1.45.(中国的出生率已降至1978年以来的最低水平。国家统计局发布的数据显示，2020年每1000人中有8.5人出生，这是几十年来该数字首次降至10人以下。上周末发布的统计年鉴称，人口自然增长率（包括出生和死亡）为1.45，创历史新低。)”可知，本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国人口出生率下降到自1978年的最低点这一社会现象，文章分析了该现象的原因，政府的应对措施等，因此最好的题目是D选项“Chinese Birthrate Falls to Lowest Level in Decades(中国出生率降至几十年来的最低水平)”，故选D。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个由Tony Bennett和Chris Lavidas设计的课程，它使用乐器和音乐技巧来帮助老年学员激发记忆。
12．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Others may start having difficulties remembering things as they get older, especially when there are memory-related diseases like Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默症) in their family. That’s why classes like Breaking Grounds in Drumming, a program by Tony Bennett and Chris Lavidas that uses instruments and music techniques to help senior students drum up memories are so important. (其他人可能会随着年龄的增长而开始记忆困难，尤其是当他们的家人患有阿尔茨海默氏症等与记忆有关的疾病时。这就是为什么像‘击鼓破土’这样的课程如此重要的原因，这是一个由Tony Bennett和Chris Lavidas设计的项目，它使用乐器和音乐技巧来帮助老年学员唤起记忆。)”可知，这个项目的目的帮助老年人恢复记忆。故选C项。
13．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Sound frequency, explains Making Music Mag, published by a community that connects music makers, is the internal communication system of the brain. Different frequencies activate particular parts of the brain. By tapping areas of the brain linked to memory and emotions with the correct technique, in this case through music-and drumming, a person can then gain access to past events that would otherwise be lost. (由一个联系音乐创作者的社区出版的《制作音乐杂志》解释说，声音频率是大脑的内部交流系统。不同的频率会激活大脑的特定部位。通过用正确的技巧敲击大脑中与记忆和情感相关的区域，在这个例子中是通过音乐和击鼓，一个人可以获得过去的事件，否则就会丢失。)”可知，音乐与我们大脑的记忆部分有密切的联系。故选B项。
14．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“That’s why classes like Breaking Grounds in Drumming, a program by Tony Bennett and Chris Lavidas that uses instruments and music techniques to help senior students drum up memories are so important. (这就是为什么像‘击鼓破土动工’这样的课程如此重要的原因，这是一个由Tony Bennett和Chris Lavidas设计的课程，它使用乐器和音乐技巧来帮助老年学员唤起记忆。)”可知，这种击鼓课程有助于唤起（激发）记忆，从而推知第三段中划线词句“The drumming sessions are engaging and require constant participation, from the students, which helps to stimulate their minds in many ways. (击鼓课很吸引人，需要学生不断参与，这有助于在很多方面stimulate他们的智力。)”其中划线单词是应为“唤起（记忆）”的意思。故选B项。
15．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Through this program, some of the seniors with Alzheimer’s can start to recover and preserve some of their lost memories. No experience is necessary to join these classes, and the benefits include intellectual and cognitive stimulation as well as enhanced hand-eye coordination. Besides, it is also an enjoyable hobby and allows the seniors to get some much needed social interaction too. (通过这个项目，一些老年痴呆症患者可以开始恢复并保留一些失去的记忆。参加这些课程不需要经验，其好处包括智力和认知刺激以及增强手眼协调能力。此外，它也是一个令人愉快的爱好，并允许老年人得到一些急需的社会互动。)”可知，本段讲述了该项目对参与者的好处。故选C项。

Dear Tom,
Delighted to know that you expect to experience Chinese culture during this summer holiday trip in China, I’d like to recommend the following activities to you.
Visiting a Chinese school is a great way to catch a glimpse of what’s like to study under the Chinese system which is quite different from yours. Never miss the chance of cooking Chinese dishes in a local home to experience the differences in meal preparation, cooking techniques, and even the way food is eaten. Some traditional Chinese games like Chinese chess, Chinese jump rope, Jacks passed down from ancient pastimes are worth trying in a park.
I do hope you can immerse yourself in the culture tour based on my recommendation. Welcome to China!
Yours,
Li Hua

47．One possible version:
Before class began, Mello handed his friend the orange Nike box in private. When told it was a gift for him, Melvin was totally shocked and immensely touched at such a nice gesture from his friend. Mello beamed with a warm smile on his face, as if he had anticipated Melvin’s reaction, and whispered in his friend’s ear that there would be no more teasing from other kids about his worn-out shoes. After weeks of getting constant smirks about his sneakers, Melvin couldn’t wait to put on his new shoes. Looking at the shiny Nike shoes on Melvin’s feet, Mello was overjoyed.
Bryant Brown, the school’s social studies teacher, spotted the shoe box on Melvin’s desk. He asked Melvin for the backstory. It brought the teacher to tears. After asking for the two boys’ consent, he decided to share the story on Facebook, hoping it might inspire others. The post got thousands of likes, shares and comments. Brown was stunned by the response. He is now planning to launch an anti-bullying campaign in the coming weeks. Hundreds of students, parents and teachers have signed up for the activity with the hope that there’s no place in the world for bullies and Mello’s helping hand always lives on.

①由第一段首句内容“上课前，Mello私下把橙色的耐克盒子递给了他的朋友。”可知，第一段可描写Mello把鞋送给Melvin以及Melvin收到礼物后的反应。
②由第二段首句内容“学校的社会研究老师Bryant Brown发现了Melvin桌子上的鞋盒。”可知，第二段可描写老师了解了故事后决定在Facebook上分享这个故事以及这个故事引起的反响。
