Modern architecture has brought many amazing buildings to the world. Here are some of the strangest buildings in the world.
Habitat 67. Montreal. Canada
Habitat 67 is a very interesting arrangement of cubes, which looks like the building blocks that children play with. It is pretty interesting how it was designed. In its material sense, the cube is a symbol of stability. It looks so original and at the same time comfortable for living. It was created as a main attraction for Expo 67, one of the world's largest universal expositions(博览会), where housing was one of the main themes.
The Basket Building, Ohio, United States
The Longaberger Basket Company building in Newark, Ohio might just be a strangest office building in the world. The 180,000-square-foot building, a copy of the company's famous market basket, cost $ 30 million and took two years to complete. Many experts tried to persuade Dave Longaberger to change his plans, but he wanted an exact copy of the real thing.
The Crooked House, Sopot, Poland
Finished in 2003, the Crooked House has an extraordinary and amazing structure. Its design was based on the pictures of polish artist Jan Marcin Szancer and Swedish painter Per Dahlberg. It looks as if it had been taken from a cartoon: The building lines are not straight, but they are balanced, so the house is not ugly at all, just strange! The interesting part is how builders managed to create this genius idea, but the house is a fact and everyone admires their creativity.
La pedrera, Spain
It is situated in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The story of the house is pretty interesting. The house was designed by Antoni Gaudi and built for a married couple. It is an extraordinary but stylish building considered to be highly unconventional- there is not even one straight line!

A. Habitat 67. B. The Basket Building. C. The Crooked House. D. La Pedrera.

23. What do the Crooked House and La Pedrera have in common?
A. They both look very ugly. B. They are built by Antoni Gaudi

I grew up in a family that was middle class in terms of finances. Dad worked hard to support the family and mom tried to save a little bit of money while making sure we had enough food to eat and clothes to wear. One of their greatest desires was to raise decent and loving children who had an opportunity to finish college.
Of their four children, my brother, Gener, seemed to be the most sociable. He experienced life by doing simple things that none of us risked doing.
Gener never hesitated to learn new things. He tried his hands at a number of things. He did a lot of things for friends, often not being paid for them.
Gener did not have a history of any health problems from his very young age to adulthood. However, one day he came home, ate his dinner and informed mom and dad that he was retiring to bed. That evening, my "healthy" brother died suddenly of cardiac arrest. All my family were so sorrowful. At the funeral, along with the sadness, my parents and brother felt so much pride. There were so many people that came. Strangers to my parents, each were relating a story of how they were touched by Gener.
A janitor(看门人)came to say that practically every day Gener brought him a sandwich. Finally mom found out why Gener took so many sandwiches to school! Gener never told her what he did with the sandwiches.
Then there was a man who came in bringing money saying that Gener lent him some when he was down and out. Gener never asked him back for the money.
From the school president to the janitor…people came because of his goodness of heart and deeds.
In the end, my parents realized that even at a young age of 26, my brother lived a full life and was very instrumental in helping others live theirs a little better.

A serious and widespread desert locust outbreak in some parts of Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan and Eritrea has caused panic in the agriculture and aviation sectors.
The invasion, which has lasted for over a month despite efforts by respective governments to control it, has led to the destruction of crops and pastures(牧场), threatening food security in the region despite a promising harvest following successful rainfall.
The outbreak has also caused panic in the aviation sector, following a recent incident where an Ethiopian Airline passenger plane was forced by a swarm(群)of locusts to divert from landing in Dire Dawn Airport in east-central Ethiopia to Bole International Airport in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization or FAO, a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger and improve nutrition and food security, the present outbreak is the worst in 25 years.
The UN agency attributed the invasion to unusual weather and climate conditions, including heavy and widespread rains since October 2019. It warned a further increase in locust swarms is likely to continue until June due to the continuation of favorable ecol哈cal conditions for locust breeding.
The locusts have already destroyed 175,000 acres of farmland in Somalia and Ethiopia, according to the FAO.
The desert locust is the most dangerous of the nearly one dozen species of locusts. A typical desert locust swarm can contain up to 150 million locusts per square kilometer, according to the IGAD. An average swarm can destroy as many food crops in a day as is sufficient to feed 2,500 people.
28. What is the result of the desert locust outbreak on East Africa?
A. It has led to a disease outbreak.
B. It has caused the weather to change.
C. It has created fear in agriculture and aviation.
D. It has threatened the safety of the people there.
29. What does the underlined word "divert" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Take a different route. B. Take off from an airport.
C. Split off from a new place. D. Slide away from somewhere.
30. What can we learn about the desert locust outbreak according to the UN agency?
A. Locust breeding is slower and slower.
B. There will possibly be a decrease in locust swarms.
C. It is related to unusual weather and climate conditions.
D. The ecological conditions are bad for locust breeding.
31. How does the author prove the desert locust is the most dangerous of the locust species?
A. By describing a process. B. By comparison.
C. By statistics. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
D

How To Channel Your Anger When You're IN IT
We all experience momentary bursts of anger every now and then. 36 . Below, therapists offer their best advice for getting control of your temper before it gets control of you.
Acknowledge that you're angry.
When you're angry, you notice it in your body. 37 . You二literally hot and bothered.
38 .
The standard advice here is to take deep breaths, in and out. When you're really in anger though, and the breathing, counting or similar techniques aren't working, it pays to take cues from your physiological sensations. Ask yourself what your anger wants to do.
Give yourself a time out.
How do you do the exercise above when you're in the middle of a face-to-face conversation? Call a personal timeout. 39 . This also aids in decreasing anger and or de-escalating the situation. A timeout allows time for you to reflect on the actual trigger that manifested the anger, which helps with identifying the trigger to prevent it from reoccurring.
Change the subject of the conversation.
Let's say you've taken the advice above, but you're still feeling heated. If you or your partner/co-worker/friend still feel hotheaded, changing the topic of conversation can also be a good way to cope with anger in the moment. 40 . If things are heated, changing the subject will alter the trajectory of the conversation as a whole.
By cooler heads prevail, we don't mean this. Take what you've learned here and cool it, hothead!
A. Follow your body's cues, safely and slowly
B. Ask yourself what emotion is behind the anger
C. You experience it physically far more than you do cognitively
D. There are things you can do in the moment to calm yourself, though
E. Focusing on something else helps change your mood and how you will respond
F. I would like you to be supportive of me and only give me your input when I ask for it
C. Walking away gives you time to calm down and collect your thoughts before responding

Nowadays, nine in ten children are now at school. However, the figure is not as 61 (impress) as it sounds. Even if most of the world's children go to school, 62 awful lot of them learn pretty much nothing there.
According 63 the recent World Bank study of seven African countries, half of nine-year-old cannot read a simple word and three-quarters cannot read a simple sentence. The reason is terrible 64 (teach). Several recent studies suggest educational technology can help. It seems 65 (bring) about bigger improvement in poor countries than in rich ones. Some of the rare 66 (resource) being spent on teachers could therefore be better spent on educational technology. That doesn't mean dumping computers on schools, hoping that children 67 (understand)how to use them. Instead, it means providing schools with software that children can use with minimal help from an adult, that gets things right 68 (much) often than the teachers do, that adjusts itself to the child's ability that sends teachers clues about 69 they are supposed to be teaching and that allows the authorities to check on whether the teacher is in the classroom.
Of course, good 70 (tradition) teachers are not replaced, and are never likely to be.

第二节书面表达(One possible version)
Dear David，
I’m writing to invite you to join me for the Guqin concert to be held next week as I know you are quite interested in Chinese culture.
Guqin, an ancient seven-stringed zither, has traditionally been favoured by Chinese scholars and literati as an instrument of great subtlety and refinement. Founded in 2001, Jiangnan Guqin Society has long been devoted to promoting Guqin music. It will hold a Guqin concert in Renming Theater at 3 pm next Sunday. And the famous young Guqin performer Deng Lizhu will be playing a classic music work, Flowing Water.
Write to me soon if you’re available for this concert.
Yours,
Li Hua
