Whether you’re looking for a steamy cup of coffee or a wide range of sweet treats, there are endless selections of cafes that have something for you.
The Salfee Bar
Check out the newly opened branch at Quarry Bay, featuring a wide selection of salads and coffee.

The Salfee Bar, G/F, 34 Hoi Kwong Street, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong
Knockbox
Found in the jam-packed neighbourhood of Wan Chai, Knockbox puts emphasis on the colors in coffee, encouraging customers to visualize their coffee-drinking experiences with the shop front.

Cosha
This warm-coloured cafe situated in Central is the perfect place for a brunch. The beautifully colored juices that pair up with the savoury dishes are also worth a try. Let an icy Super Strawberry Juice or Mango Hill Juice help you beat the sweltering heat.

Located in the busy neighbourhood of Yau Ma Tei, Yama Coffee takes you on a short vacation to Japan, as its design is based on a Japanese theme.

I had just delivered a memorable speech, and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance. The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.
The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.
Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip, get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.
I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. After not placing in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.
I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully.
24. How did the author feel after finishing his speech?
A. Annoyed. B. Nervous. C. Confused. D. Hopeful.
25. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. He was regretful about his not being fully prepared.
B. He felt upset for getting up early on a chilly morning.
C. He once kicked and hurt his toe when he was 12 years old.
D. He turned out to be the last one of his group in the contest.
26. Which of the following can best describe the author?
A. Tough and strong-willed. B. Determined and talented.
C. Enthusiastic and generous. D. Hardworking and attractive.
27. What is the main idea the author wants to convey to us?
A. Never mind others’ judgments. B. Don’t rely too much on others.
C. Stand up from where we tripped over. D. Learn to appreciate the highlight in life.
C
Normally giving food to wild animals is not allowed, but the situation in Florida with over 1,000 manatees (海牛) dying from hunger leads officials to consider a plan to feed them. “We’ve never done such a thing with any wildlife, but the situation has become such an emergency that it has to be considered,” said Patrick Rose, the Executive Director of Save the Manatee Club. “This is a necessary but temporary measure. But I believe the impact is lasting.”
The plan will be carried out in one specific Florida location to test how it works. It will be an experiment involving lettuce, cabbage, and other greens delivered in a controlled manner. “Under no circumstances do we want people feeding manatees. It’s illegal, and remains so,” Rose said.
Manatees have long struggled to survive with humans, whose activities bring many harmful effects. Hundreds of the slow-moving animals are struck by boats every year. However, they just account for a small part of the loss of manatees. The hunger threat has led to a record of 1, 017 manatee deaths as of Nov. 19, 2021, according to state figures. That has been caused mainly by man-made pollution, which promotes growth of blue-green algae and other harmful organisms. They block light needed by seagrass, destroying the main food source for manatees.
“Actually, saving manatees is part of saving the ecosystem. If we take care, manatees will grow well. If we don’t, they won’t,” Rose said. “We’re in the most critical position.” Manatees were listed as endangered when the government started to protect them in 1967. Increased protections helped manatee numbers increase from around 1,000 to 8,000 by 2017 enough to have their position to be downgraded from “endangered” to “threatened”.
28. What can be learned about the plan to feed manatees?
A. It is the first of its kind. B. It is a long-term strategy.
C. It is carried out across Florida. D. It is aimed at saving the ecosystem.
29. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 3?
A. The boat accident. B. The hunger threat.
C. The growth of blue-green algae. D. The destruction of ecosystem.
30. Why does the author mention the figures in the last paragraph?
A. To explain challenges faced by manatees.
B. To prove manatees’ value in the ecosystem.
C. To show the necessity of humans’ protections.
D. To encourage people to feed manatees actively.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Severe Consequences Caused by Human Activities
B. Increasing Ecological Crises Threatening Manatees
C. Manatees Suffering from Serious Starvation in Florida
D. A Special Feeding Plan for Starving Florida Manatees
D
With nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas coming from all types of transportation, can we keep ourselves off gas-powered vehicles to avoid the worst effects? As more governments push for urgent action on climate change, quite a few companies are betting their future—that millions of consumers are finally ready for electricity-powered vehicles. Modern battery-powered cars are selling fast and zero-emission planes are coming. These changes, both leading to a more sustainable future, are reinventing how we get from here to there.
Cars and trucks are undergoing their greatest improvement since the automobile’s existence more than a century ago. Almost overnight, the era of the electric car has arrived. Electricity has the advantage that it works without smell and with less noise. Global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to increase from just over 3 million today to 14 million by 2025. Just a month after Ford launched an electric version of the popular F-150, customers had reserved more than 100,000 of them. The price is about $10,000 above the gas-powered one, but Ford says the electric model will cost much less to maintain. Everything creating a green revolution on the ground is of limited help in the sky for the time being.
High-storage batteries are useless at present when it comes to the technological challenge of launching a few hundred people into the sky and carrying them thousands of miles. No battery yet invented can power, say, a Boeing 747 from New York to London. Promising improvements, however, do add up. Developments with zero-emission, battery-powered electric engines are already happening in commercial flight, involving trips of limited duration and distance. Airlines specializing in short journeys with small planes will lead the way to electric flight.
Our planet’s health depends on zeroing out carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, and yet, by the timetable needed to address the climate challenge, the shift away from gas-powered vehicles remains far too slow. Nevertheless, the train has left the station. Someday, electric-powered transportation will be as common as air.
32. Why are many companies switching to electricity-powered vehicles?
A. To reinvent the way we travel. B. To cut the costs of car production.
C. To improve the quality of products. D. To pursue sustainable development.
33. What do we know about the electric car?
A. It came into use a century ago. B. It enjoys increasing popularity.
C. It sells better than the traditional one. D. It costs less than the gas-powered one.
34. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?
A. To show the disadvantages of battery power.
B. To emphasize the significance of short flights.
C. To stress the future prospects of electric planes.
D. To state the developments of commercial flight.
35. What does the author mean by saying “the train has left the station”?
A. Green transportation is on its way. B. Train transportation has improved.
C. The electric train is running regularly. D. The gas-powered train has become the past.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Your alarm goes off on the first day of January. You force yourself out of bed and steadily walk toward the bathroom, where you catch sight of a pale-faced, sleepy-eyed “monster” in the mirror. ___36___ However, after a moment, you think. “Wait, it’s okay because today is New Year’s Day, time to get back in shape!”
For many people, the start of a new year signals the end of a period of overindulgence (放纵). During December, it is often justified by the planning of New Year’s resolutions to turn oneself into a fit and healthy human being. However, the fact is that around 80% of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned before February. Regarding why this happens, the answer is likely related to self-discipline. ___37___ But actually we are not making ourselves any more disciplined.
___38___ One idea is to think small rather than big. Many people’s plans involve extreme measures, while in reality, change is likely easier in smaller steps, which allows for greater success. ___39___ 30 minutes of TV time for two hours at the gym can be rewarding in motivating someone to work out every day.
Finally, set concrete goals. ___40___ For example, “I’m going to go running every day to train for a half-marathon in April” would be far more powerful than “I’m going to get in better shape this year”. Most importantly, remember that despite their names, New Year’s resolutions should be for life. Change takes time and effort, but with suitable strategies, there is no reason why you cannot stick to your resolutions permanently... or at least until June.
A. Suddenly you seem to be on cloud nine.
B. Almost instantly, you step back in horror.
C. So, how can you make yourself more disciplined?
D. We typically tend to make some unrealistic resolutions.
E. We may have good intentions when making resolutions.
F. Instead of making a vague resolution, make a specific one.
G. Another helpful strategy is to design a personal reward system.

It is ___48___ how these bills always seem to end up in the right hands. They help pay for living expenses, and even provide the homeless with ___49___ for a couple of nights. But the real ___50___ of Benny is that more than half of the ___51___ report paying it forward with their own cash or check. Some of the most ___52___ stories involve children. ___53___ shopping for toys, they decide to buy school supplies for those in need.
The bills are so ___54___ by people that they post them on their refrigerators or carry them in their purses. It’s a ___55___, they say, to give and be like Benny.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Dario and his mother loved their new apartment. In fact, the moment they stepped into that apartment, they had fallen in love with it—the light was so cosy, and the windows were so clear. More importantly, compared with the previous one back in New York, the living room here was large enough for their piano! That night, the two of them sat side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home. The loud music filled the room. No matter how painful the past experience was, they had left it behind and opened a new chapter for their life here. The mother and son were so absorbed in playing one piece after another that they totally forgot how late it was.
The next morning, however, their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a note under their door during the night. One of their neighbors had written to complain about the sound of the piano. Dario’s mother asked the building manager if he knew anything about it. But he said that they were all nice people and he couldn’t imagine any of them had done that. They did not intend to make neighborhood relations rigid. Neither did they want the piano to become a decoration.
Later that morning, Dario suggested that they write a letter to their neighbors and apologize for their playing.
“Maybe we could go and visit everyone in person,” his mother said.
But the time-consuming and troublesome idea was quickly denied. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration went across Dario’s mind. Nothing could serve as a bridge to remove the distance between them and their new neighbors better than a party. They both loved the fantastic idea. Over the next few days, they sent out invitations and prepared desserts for their guests. They decorated the apartment with streamers and party lights. A smile of expectation could be seen on their faces as they held a strong belief that it would be a perfect beginning of their new life in the new neighborhood.
Finally, the day of the party arrived. Some guests brought presents. Others brought flowers. Some even brought desserts to share.

续写：
One neighbour, Mrs. Gilbert, presented Dario’s mother with an old but well-preserved book of piano music by Chopin. At the sight of this special gift, Dario and his mother seemed to figure out who the writer of the note was. “I heard you playing the other night,” she said. “The sounds woke me out of bed. I worried that you might play like this every night. So I wrote a short note. I hope you don’t think I disliked the playing.” Dario’s mother smiled at Mrs. Gilbert. She thought maybe they truly owe her a sincere apology. And she explained that they hadn’t realized how late it was when playing. “Maybe we should play some quieter music at night,” Dario’s mother said in an apologetic tone.
“You play, you play!” Mrs. Gilbert said. “I like what you play! Just not so loud at night.” “Welcome to our beautiful neighborhood.” Mrs. Gilbert considered the book as a welcome gift, “wish you a better life!” “These songs are beautiful music. And we won’t play so loud or late!” Dario said excitedly. Everyone smiled happily this time. He was already looking forward to practicing the new music. More than that, he was happy to see the big smile on his mother’s face. It gave him a feeling of warmth and made him feel that they were home at last. Soon a soothing and soft piano music flowed and lingered the house. Everyone present was immersed in it.

W: Why don’t you buy it for her?
M: I’m still a student. I can’t afford it. The watch seems a bit expensive and that’s why Mom didn’t buy it. But you can afford it. I’m sure Mom will be happy if you buy it for her. (15)
W: That sounds good. (15) Let’s go shopping tomorrow and you can show me where the store is.
Text 10
Yang Kexin, 31, runs a special store in Guizhou. (20) Its shelves are full of stones from the sky—meteorites with different shapes and sizes, all collected by her.
Yang’s love for the subject began in 2012, while she was working in Xinjiang. (17) For fun, she joined her workmates to look for meteorites and other rocks in the desert. (18) Her interest grew stronger when one of her friends picked up a meteorite in 2013. Over the years, Yang walked more than 100,000 kilometers across Xinjiang and has found more than 600 meteorites with a total weight of 400 kilograms. (18) (19)
In 2017, Yang went back to her hometown and opened the meteorite store. (20) There she shows more than 300 of the meteorites she has found, along with things made from them. Yang has met visitors from different parts of the country, and shared her stories of each of the meteorites and main scientific information behind them. They showed much interest.

The Salfee Bar

Knockbox
Found in the jam-packed neighbourhood of Wan Chai, Knockbox puts emphasis on the colors in coffee, encouraging customers to visualize their coffee-drinking experiences with the shop front.

I had just delivered a memorable speech, and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance. The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.
The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.
Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip, get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.
I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. After not placing in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.
I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully.
24. How did the author feel after finishing his speech?
A. Annoyed. B. Nervous. C. Confused. D. Hopeful.
25. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. He was regretful about his not being fully prepared.
B. He felt upset for getting up early on a chilly morning.
C. He once kicked and hurt his toe when he was 12 years old.
D. He turned out to be the last one of his group in the contest.
26. Which of the following can best describe the author?
A. Tough and strong-willed. B. Determined and talented.
C. Enthusiastic and generous. D. Hardworking and attractive.
27. What is the main idea the author wants to convey to us?
A. Never mind others’ judgments. B. Don’t rely too much on others.
C. Stand up from where we tripped over. D. Learn to appreciate the highlight in life.
C
Normally giving food to wild animals is not allowed, but the situation in Florida with over 1,000 manatees (海牛) dying from hunger leads officials to consider a plan to feed them. “We’ve never done such a thing with any wildlife, but the situation has become such an emergency that it has to be considered,” said Patrick Rose, the Executive Director of Save the Manatee Club. “This is a necessary but temporary measure. But I believe the impact is lasting.”
The plan will be carried out in one specific Florida location to test how it works. It will be an experiment involving lettuce, cabbage, and other greens delivered in a controlled manner. “Under no circumstances do we want people feeding manatees. It’s illegal, and remains so,” Rose said.
Manatees have long struggled to survive with humans, whose activities bring many harmful effects. Hundreds of the slow-moving animals are struck by boats every year. However, they just account for a small part of the loss of manatees. The hunger threat has led to a record of 1, 017 manatee deaths as of Nov. 19, 2021, according to state figures. That has been caused mainly by man-made pollution, which promotes growth of blue-green algae and other harmful organisms. They block light needed by seagrass, destroying the main food source for manatees.
“Actually, saving manatees is part of saving the ecosystem. If we take care, manatees will grow well. If we don’t, they won’t,” Rose said. “We’re in the most critical position.” Manatees were listed as endangered when the government started to protect them in 1967. Increased protections helped manatee numbers increase from around 1,000 to 8,000 by 2017 enough to have their position to be downgraded from “endangered” to “threatened”.
28. What can be learned about the plan to feed manatees?
A. It is the first of its kind. B. It is a long-term strategy.
C. It is carried out across Florida. D. It is aimed at saving the ecosystem.
29. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 3?
A. The boat accident. B. The hunger threat.
C. The growth of blue-green algae. D. The destruction of ecosystem.
30. Why does the author mention the figures in the last paragraph?
A. To explain challenges faced by manatees.
B. To prove manatees’ value in the ecosystem.
C. To show the necessity of humans’ protections.
D. To encourage people to feed manatees actively.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Severe Consequences Caused by Human Activities
B. Increasing Ecological Crises Threatening Manatees
C. Manatees Suffering from Serious Starvation in Florida
D. A Special Feeding Plan for Starving Florida Manatees
D
With nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas coming from all types of transportation, can we keep ourselves off gas-powered vehicles to avoid the worst effects? As more governments push for urgent action on climate change, quite a few companies are betting their future—that millions of consumers are finally ready for electricity-powered vehicles. Modern battery-powered cars are selling fast and zero-emission planes are coming. These changes, both leading to a more sustainable future, are reinventing how we get from here to there.
Cars and trucks are undergoing their greatest improvement since the automobile’s existence more than a century ago. Almost overnight, the era of the electric car has arrived. Electricity has the advantage that it works without smell and with less noise. Global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to increase from just over 3 million today to 14 million by 2025. Just a month after Ford launched an electric version of the popular F-150, customers had reserved more than 100,000 of them. The price is about $10,000 above the gas-powered one, but Ford says the electric model will cost much less to maintain. Everything creating a green revolution on the ground is of limited help in the sky for the time being.
High-storage batteries are useless at present when it comes to the technological challenge of launching a few hundred people into the sky and carrying them thousands of miles. No battery yet invented can power, say, a Boeing 747 from New York to London. Promising improvements, however, do add up. Developments with zero-emission, battery-powered electric engines are already happening in commercial flight, involving trips of limited duration and distance. Airlines specializing in short journeys with small planes will lead the way to electric flight.
Our planet’s health depends on zeroing out carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, and yet, by the timetable needed to address the climate challenge, the shift away from gas-powered vehicles remains far too slow. Nevertheless, the train has left the station. Someday, electric-powered transportation will be as common as air.
32. Why are many companies switching to electricity-powered vehicles?
A. To reinvent the way we travel. B. To cut the costs of car production.
C. To improve the quality of products. D. To pursue sustainable development.
33. What do we know about the electric car?
A. It came into use a century ago. B. It enjoys increasing popularity.
C. It sells better than the traditional one. D. It costs less than the gas-powered one.
34. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?
A. To show the disadvantages of battery power.
B. To emphasize the significance of short flights.
C. To stress the future prospects of electric planes.
D. To state the developments of commercial flight.
35. What does the author mean by saying “the train has left the station”?
A. Green transportation is on its way. B. Train transportation has improved.
C. The electric train is running regularly. D. The gas-powered train has become the past.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Your alarm goes off on the first day of January. You force yourself out of bed and steadily walk toward the bathroom, where you catch sight of a pale-faced, sleepy-eyed “monster” in the mirror. ___36___ However, after a moment, you think. “Wait, it’s okay because today is New Year’s Day, time to get back in shape!”
For many people, the start of a new year signals the end of a period of overindulgence (放纵). During December, it is often justified by the planning of New Year’s resolutions to turn oneself into a fit and healthy human being. However, the fact is that around 80% of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned before February. Regarding why this happens, the answer is likely related to self-discipline. ___37___ But actually we are not making ourselves any more disciplined.
___38___ One idea is to think small rather than big. Many people’s plans involve extreme measures, while in reality, change is likely easier in smaller steps, which allows for greater success. ___39___ 30 minutes of TV time for two hours at the gym can be rewarding in motivating someone to work out every day.
Finally, set concrete goals. ___40___ For example, “I’m going to go running every day to train for a half-marathon in April” would be far more powerful than “I’m going to get in better shape this year”. Most importantly, remember that despite their names, New Year’s resolutions should be for life. Change takes time and effort, but with suitable strategies, there is no reason why you cannot stick to your resolutions permanently... or at least until June.
A. Suddenly you seem to be on cloud nine.
B. Almost instantly, you step back in horror.
C. So, how can you make yourself more disciplined?
D. We typically tend to make some unrealistic resolutions.
E. We may have good intentions when making resolutions.
F. Instead of making a vague resolution, make a specific one.
G. Another helpful strategy is to design a personal reward system.

It is ___48___ how these bills always seem to end up in the right hands. They help pay for living expenses, and even provide the homeless with ___49___ for a couple of nights. But the real ___50___ of Benny is that more than half of the ___51___ report paying it forward with their own cash or check. Some of the most ___52___ stories involve children. ___53___ shopping for toys, they decide to buy school supplies for those in need.
The bills are so ___54___ by people that they post them on their refrigerators or carry them in their purses. It’s a ___55___, they say, to give and be like Benny.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Dario and his mother loved their new apartment. In fact, the moment they stepped into that apartment, they had fallen in love with it—the light was so cosy, and the windows were so clear. More importantly, compared with the previous one back in New York, the living room here was large enough for their piano! That night, the two of them sat side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home. The loud music filled the room. No matter how painful the past experience was, they had left it behind and opened a new chapter for their life here. The mother and son were so absorbed in playing one piece after another that they totally forgot how late it was.
The next morning, however, their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a note under their door during the night. One of their neighbors had written to complain about the sound of the piano. Dario’s mother asked the building manager if he knew anything about it. But he said that they were all nice people and he couldn’t imagine any of them had done that. They did not intend to make neighborhood relations rigid. Neither did they want the piano to become a decoration.
Later that morning, Dario suggested that they write a letter to their neighbors and apologize for their playing.
“Maybe we could go and visit everyone in person,” his mother said.
But the time-consuming and troublesome idea was quickly denied. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration went across Dario’s mind. Nothing could serve as a bridge to remove the distance between them and their new neighbors better than a party. They both loved the fantastic idea. Over the next few days, they sent out invitations and prepared desserts for their guests. They decorated the apartment with streamers and party lights. A smile of expectation could be seen on their faces as they held a strong belief that it would be a perfect beginning of their new life in the new neighborhood.
Finally, the day of the party arrived. Some guests brought presents. Others brought flowers. Some even brought desserts to share.

续写：
One neighbour, Mrs. Gilbert, presented Dario’s mother with an old but well-preserved book of piano music by Chopin. At the sight of this special gift, Dario and his mother seemed to figure out who the writer of the note was. “I heard you playing the other night,” she said. “The sounds woke me out of bed. I worried that you might play like this every night. So I wrote a short note. I hope you don’t think I disliked the playing.” Dario’s mother smiled at Mrs. Gilbert. She thought maybe they truly owe her a sincere apology. And she explained that they hadn’t realized how late it was when playing. “Maybe we should play some quieter music at night,” Dario’s mother said in an apologetic tone.
“You play, you play!” Mrs. Gilbert said. “I like what you play! Just not so loud at night.” “Welcome to our beautiful neighborhood.” Mrs. Gilbert considered the book as a welcome gift, “wish you a better life!” “These songs are beautiful music. And we won’t play so loud or late!” Dario said excitedly. Everyone smiled happily this time. He was already looking forward to practicing the new music. More than that, he was happy to see the big smile on his mother’s face. It gave him a feeling of warmth and made him feel that they were home at last. Soon a soothing and soft piano music flowed and lingered the house. Everyone present was immersed in it.

W: Well, no. Put it at 220 for now, and we can change it to 200 later.
M: OK. The vegetables are ready.
W: Good. We can cook them together with the fish.
M: How long does it take?
W: Um, we’ll cook it hot for 15 minutes, and then 25 minutes at a lower temperature, so in 40 minutes it’ll be ready. (12)
M: Great. I’m going to watch TV for a few minutes.
W: Actually, can you do this little bit of washing-up? I’m going to make a dessert. (13)

W: Mother’s birthday is coming. Have you bought a present for her?
M: No. When is it, this Thursday?
W: No. It’s this Friday. There’re three days left. (14) We still have time to prepare presents. I haven’t decided what to buy yet. I bought her a pair of gloves last year. This year I want to buy something else.
M: What about an overcoat?
W: She needs to try on the overcoat first. But I want to give her a surprise. Any other ideas?
M: What about a watch? (15) I went shopping with Mom last month and she seemed to be very interested in a watch in a store.
W: Why don’t you buy it for her?
M: I’m still a student. I can’t afford it. The watch seems a bit expensive and that’s why Mom didn’t buy it. But you can afford it. I’m sure Mom will be happy if you buy it for her. (15)
W: That sounds good. (15) Let’s go shopping tomorrow and you can show me where the store is.

Yang Kexin, 31, runs a special store in Guizhou. (20) Its shelves are full of stones from the sky—meteorites with different shapes and sizes, all collected by her.
Yang’s love for the subject began in 2012, while she was working in Xinjiang. (17) For fun, she joined her workmates to look for meteorites and other rocks in the desert. (18) Her interest grew stronger when one of her friends picked up a meteorite in 2013. Over the years, Yang walked more than 100,000 kilometers across Xinjiang and has found more than 600 meteorites with a total weight of 400 kilograms. (18) (19)
In 2017, Yang went back to her hometown and opened the meteorite store. (20) There she shows more than 300 of the meteorites she has found, along with things made from them. Yang has met visitors from different parts of the country, and shared her stories of each of the meteorites and main scientific information behind them. They showed much interest.
