根据短文理解,选择正确答案。

Dear Linda,

    I have been in England three months now. I hope you don't think I've forgotten you. There have been so many places to see and so many things to do that I've not had much time for writing letters.

    I shall soon be starting my studies at King's College. So far I've been learning about England and British ways of living. I won't tell you about London. There are plenty of books you can read and plenty of pictures you can look at. I'm sure you'll be more interested to know what I think about the life here.

    I find some of the customs new and interesting. People here do not shake hands as much as we do in Europe. During the first few weeks I was often surprised because people did not put out their hands when I met them. Men raise their hats to women but not to each other.

                                                                     Yours

                                                                      Alice

    When you're closing your eyes and hitting your pillow, you're probably not giving much thought about the sleeping position throughout the night. Most people don't change their sleeping positions throughout their lives. The following is why you might want to pay more attention: Your sleeping position can actually say a bit about who you are and what your personality is like.

    There are many sleeping positions. The fetal (胎儿的) sleeping position is generally the most common sleeping position. Fetal sleepers sleep on their side, they move into a position in which their body makes a rounded shape. People who sleep in the fetal position are often quite sensitive and generally shy. They are often worried or nervous and don't focus their attention on the main problem, but get into trouble on very small pieces of information.

    The log (木头) sleeper rests on the side with a straight body when hands and legs are kept at the sides. These sleepers are often relaxed, but also can easily believe lie-tellers. If you're a log sleeper, you might want to keep in mind that it's good to be easy-going and have less stress, but don't be so quick to go with the flow (流) at all times.

    The third one is the soldier position. Soldier sleepers typically lie on their backs with both arms close to their sides. In general, they are the strong and silent type. However, they can also put the pressure on. "They can be quite strict with themselves as well as others," a scientist added.

I'm ready to do my first jump 10 months after a skydiving(特技跳伞) accident. I can't wait! That accident almost killed me and it made me stay in hospital for half a year. During the boring long days, I didn't feel happy to be alive (活着的). I was wondering how I could live without my favourite sport.

It all started on an evening after nine-to-five o'clock. I was sitting on the sofa when an ad (广告) came on the television— try skydiving. The next day, I went to the skydiving school in my town. At the end of the day's lessons, I knew I found the right sport for me.

I would never forget my first jump. Five of us walked to the runway and got into a plane. I. was afraid, but the others were talking and joking, and I started to feel a little relaxed. It was a beautiful, sunny day and the sun was just. going down. Soon it was time to jump. As I jumped from the plane, I shouted. But then everything became quiet. It was the most wonderful four minutes of my life.

From the first jump, I was hooked. I started spending all my free time skydiving. It became my reason for living. Things were going really well. Then an accident happened on my 104th jump. I broke my both legs, right arm and nose. I stayed in hospital for six months, but I. still couldn't forget skydiving.

My mother couldn't understand why the only reason I wanted to get better was to go skydiving again. But for me, skydiving is life, and life is skydiving.

Recently, a tourist said in a video that there was no hot water on the Huangshan Mountain. Some tourists also complained(抱怨) online that they failed to get hot water for cooking instant noodles since it was banned(禁止) by the scenic area. For a time, "Why doesn't the Huangshan Scenic Area provide hot water for instant noodles?" became a hot topic on the Internet. Many people thought this rule was unreasonable.

Later, the staff of the Huangshan Scenic Area(景区) replied to the question: In order to protect the animals, plants and environment of the Huangshan Mountain, tourists are advised not to eat instant noodles in the area.

Before the rule was made, leftovers(残羹) and packaging materials from instant noodles were often found throwing in the scenic area. These seriously harm the soil and plants. In addition, animals, such as squirrels and birds, may eat these leftovers by mistake, which poses a threat(威胁) to their health.

In fact, eating instant noodles is not banned on the mountain but it is not encouraged, according to a leader of the scenic area. Actually, the ban on sales of instant noodles on the mountain was put in place in 2006.

The staff at the scenic area said, "Tourists can get hot water at the rest area in the scenic area. They are also allowed to bring their own food products such as bread and self-heating meals. For those who do not bring food, the scenic area has supermarkets and restaurants."

This action quickly received understanding and support from the public. "This is necessary. We should follow the rule while enjoying the beauty of nature," one tourist shared his opinion online. "I support the rule, and we should all play a part in protecting the environment."

On Wednesday, August 7, China got its first-ever gold medal in artistic swimming at the Paris Olympic Games.

Among the impressive performers were twin sisters, Wang Liuyi and Wang Qianyi. Born in 1997 and grew up in Shenzhen, the sisters took an interest in artistic swimming when they came to Shenzhen sports team in 2005, asking to learn artistic swimming. The twins almost didn't make it to the team because of their parents* heights.

There is an unwritten rule in artistic swimming. If a sportswoman is less than 1,68 meters tall, she is unlikely to become a professional. The twins' father is less than 1.7 meters tall, while their mother is a little taller than 1,6 metres, which means the daughters are unlikely to be tall enough.

However, the twins' wrong will and strengths impressed Hu, coach (教练)of Shenzhen team. She recalled that twins, who studied at Nanshan Foreign Languages School, went for training after school every day. At 20 years old, the twins grew to be 1.72 meters tall. They were among the tallest when joining the national artistic swimming team in 2017,

With good physical quality and willingness to bear hardships, through years of hard training, they became key players and got a lot of medals. In 2010, the twins won the gold medal at the provincial games. They also won a gold and a bronze medal at the national games in 2013 and 2O17.Then, they won four gold medals at the 2022 World Championships in Hungary and a gold in the duet event at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, winning the right for the Paris Olympics.
