I'm an office worker and work in a downtown(闹市区) office. I live on a small island(岛), so take a boat from the island to the city center on weekdays. The boat leaves at 6:20 and① it takes about 35 minutes to get to the city. Then I have a short walk to my office. Sometimes when the weather is bad, I can't get to my office on time by boat.(Tina Brown)

    I'm a teacher. ②I take the train to work every day. The train is quick and cheap and there are hardly any delays(耽误). The trains run every half an hour. The train station is near my home. It takes only 35 minutes from my home to the school.(Ms Jackson)

    I'm a college ( 大学)  student. I live in a college. The college is very big, so I usually walk a lot. Sometimes ③it takes 15 minutes to get from one building to another. When I want to shop with my friends outside the college, we take a bus. The buses stop running after 10：00 pm. So if we get back after that time, we take the bus to our school. (Maria Black).

    Li Ping is going to England. He wants to know something about English people. One day he sees an English girl in the street. Then he comes up to her.

    “Excuse me, may I ask you some questions?”

    “Of course you may.” answers the girl politely.

    “I'll go to London. What should I notice when I'm talking with English people in London? ”asks Li Ping.

    “Well, don't ask a woman how old she is and…”

    “But how old are you? ”Li Ping stops the girl and asks suddenly.

    “I…”The girl gets angry.

    “Why do you get so angry?”asks Li Ping. “Now we are in China, not in England, you see”

This spring，the most eye—catching movie might be YOLO（《热辣滚烫》）. By March 18，it had made around 3. 5 billion yuan at the box office，reported Paper. 

Directed by 41-year-old Jia Ling，the movie tells the story of a woman tired of the world，finding herself and learning to love life through boxing（拳击）. The name of YOLO is short for the movie's main idea—you only live once. 

Jia Ling has tried many different roles in her life，including crosstalk（相声） and sketch（小品） performer，variety show（综艺节目） guest and actress. The movie Hi，Mom 2019（《你好，李焕英》） is the first one Jia directed in her life. 

Jia didn't study directing at university. It makes her feel freer in film making because she doesn't need to follow a fixed style. To everyone's surprise，Hi，Mom 2019 made her the world's highest—grossing（票房最高的） woman director before 2023. 

Before making YOLO，Jia was often seen as an overweight comedian（喜剧演员）. She often made jokes about herself to make people laugh. For this movie，Jia lost more than 50 kg which made it hard to imagine that this is the same Jia we once knew. Some people online said even her voice became softer，and they called this a"rebirth"for Jia. She has proved through her actions that if you want to be successful，you need to try your best. 

In Jia's eyes，her change in identity（身份） and look is her way of saying true to herself. "It's hard to predict one's life. I'm just following my heart but not looking for changes in purpose. Movies are now the best way to show myself，so I put all my energy into them. "Jia told Xinhua. 

"In fact，Jia didn't change. She's just being more herself. She shows us through her actions. "said talk show host Chen Luyu. 

It was a Saturday afternoon. Mr Green was reading a newspaper when he heard his wife 1 in the next room. He hurried to her and asked, "What happened to you, my dear?"

"Oh, dear!" his wife called out. "My head hurts! 2 a doctor. Hurry up!" Their two children were both out at that moment and something was wrong with the telephone. Mr. Green had to go to a hospital himself. Bad luck! That day all the hospitals in the town were 3 . Mr. Green didn't know where to go. Just then a friend of his saw him and asked, "What is the matter?"

Mr. Green told everything. The man said, "Why not go to Mr Black? He can help you. "

Mr. Green remembered his friend 4 was a good doctor. He hurried to Mr. Black's. When he got there, Mr and Mrs Black were having their 5 meal. The doctor asked Mr. Green to drink with him. He was happy and sat 6 . After that they began to chat(聊天). And when Mrs Black asked," How is your wife?" "She is fine, thanks..."Mr. Green stopped at once-he remembered his wife was waiting for a doctor at home.
