12. Have yu ever used any language learning apps? If yu want t learn a language and speak it right away, mdernize yur learning style and adpt an app. It desn't cst much, but it's wrth a lt. 1
● Learn anywhere and anytime
Persnally, I lve t review my vcabulary quietly in my bed befre sleep using a language learning app. 2 Of curse, it's als pssible t learn a language with a bk, but it's s much mre entertaining when yu are using a language learning app!
● Never waste time again
3 Mre ften than nt, we will get really annyed r even stressed when time is wasted. Hwever, when using a language learning app, time seems t g by quickly. We can take the pprtunity t review and play a little while we have t wait arund.
● 4
Have yu ever taken up a curse at night? I have, but I fund it hard t cmplete it because there were many restrictins. I was required t attend classes twice a week n a fixed schedule. But when we study n ur wn with a language learning app, we can study at ur wn pace.
● Save yur mney
Mst language schls haven't evlved t meet the needs f mdem sciety. And that's befre we've even begun t talk abut the price, which is ften quite unaffrdable. 5 But the benefits are huge, ffering yu the freedm and independence t learn at very little expense.
13. The wrld is designed fr right-handed peple, but why des a tenth f the ppulatin prefer the left? 1
The answer t it remains a bit f a mystery. Since scientists have nticed that left-handedness tends t run in families, it’s assumed that left-handedness has a genetic(基因的) cmpnent t it.
2 In fact, identical twins, wh share the same genes, can smetimes prefer t use different hands. There are als plenty f theries n what else might determine which hand yu write with, but many experts believe that it’s kind f randm.
Histrically, the left side and left-handedness have been cnsidered a negative thing by many cultures. 3 In sme areas, the left hand became knwn as the “unclean” hand. In many religins, the right hand f Gd is the favred hand. Fr example, Jesus sits at Gd’s right side. Gd’s left hand, hwever, is the hand f judgment. Varius activities and experiences becme rude r even signs f bad luck when the left hand becmes invlved. In sme parts f Sctland, it is cnsidered bad luck t meet a left-handed persn at the start f a jurney. 4 A persn giving directins will put their left hand behind them and even physically try t pint with their right hand if necessary. In sme Asian cuntries, eating with the left hand is cnsidered implite.
5 Peple cme t realize that left-handedness is natural. Sme researchers find ut that lefties are mre creative and can deal with abstract thinking better. The left-handedness is mre easily adaptable t the right-handed wrld as well. Being left-handed is n lnger a sad stry nw; instead, it is a wnderful gift r maybe it is smething yu shuld take pride in.
文章大意：这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了加拿大的一位女性消防员Andrea Speranza，由于自己所在的领域女性很少，她创办了“勇气营”，帮助很多女性成为消防和急救人员。

Camp Curage nw runs ne sessin every year in Halifax and is free t attend. Hundreds f girls have nw passed thrugh Camp Curage, and 36 percent are ding exactly what Speranza hped they wuld: wrking as first respnders acrss the cuntry.
“I used t think that it’s awesme that I can be a firefighter and save all these peple,”
Speranza says with a smile. But the pprtunity t recruit ther girls t save lives alngside her is what really keeps her ging. “It’s nt even measurable.”

15. It all started with a simple questin: “Can I paint yur prtrait?”
One day in the summer f 2015, Petersn was relaxing in his living rm, reading the bk Lve Des, abut the pwer f lve in actin, when his quiet was disturbed by a hmeless man utside his apartment. Inspired by the bk’s cmpassinate message, Petersn made a decisin; He was ging t g utside and intrduce himself.
In that first cnversatin, Petersn learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d mved t Suthern Califrnia frm Kentucky t pursue a career in music, but he sn fell n hard times and ended up living n the street fr mre than a decade. “I saw beauty n the face f a man wh hadn’t shaved in prbably a year, because his stry, the life inside f him, inspired me,” Petersn recalled. Therefre, Petersn asked if he culd paint Faris’s prtrait. Faris agreed.
Petersn’s cnnectin with Faris led him t frm Faces f Santa Ana, a nnprfit rganizatin fcused n befriending and painting prtraits f members f the cmmunity wh are unhused. Petersn sells the paintings fr mney, splitting the prceeds and putting half int a “lve accunt” fr his mdel. He then helps peple use the mney t get back n their feet.
Many f Petersn’s new friends use the dnatins t secure immediate necessities — medical care, htel rms, fd. Faris used the funds frm his prtrait t recrd an album, fulfilling his musical dreams. Anther subject, Kimberly Sndval, had never been able t financially supprt her daughter. She asked, “Can I use the mney t pay my daughter’s rent?” When the check was delivered, “They bth wept in my arms,” Petersn recalls.
Petersn has painted 41 f these prtraits himself. But there’s mre t the finished prducts than the mney they bring t smene wh’s dwn and ut. He’s discvered that the buyers tend t cnnect t the stry f the persn in the painting, finding similarities and ften friendship with smene they might have therwise verlked r steretyped.
“Peple ften tell me, ‘I was the ne that wuld crss the street, but I see hmeless peple differently nw,’” Petersn says. “I didn’t knw that wuld happen.”

After cllege in Califrnia, I returned t live the single life in Las Vega. Then I met Lisa. In n time at all, we fell in lve, married and mved int a new huse. Despite my avidance f animals, Lisa had a dg called Bailey. Bailey didn’t like me, but he tlerated my existence nce he realized I wasn’t ging anywhere.
Things changed as spring came. We welcmed a new member f ur family: ur sn Evan. One evening Evan grabbed hld f the dg’s tail. The irritated dg paused and turned t lk at his stuck tail but waited patiently until being released. Still the stries I’d heard f animals attacking babies wrries me.
Then my wrst fear ccurred. I sat n the cuch (沙发) reading after a lng day while my wife wrked at the dining-rm table paying the bills. I saw Evan crawl acrss the family-rm carpet as he made his way behind the cuch. One minute, all was quiet and then Bailey entered the rm and headed t where Evan had crawled. I nearly jumped ut f my skin when I heard the dg start a fearful barking behind me.
