阅读理解

This week, we answer aquestion from a listener who writes: I work with some native speakers of English.I want to practice speaking with them so I'll improve my English. But sometimes,I get nervous, so our conversation ends quickly. How can I talk with these friendsfor a long time?

You are right. It is not always easy to keep a conversation going in English. You might not be sure about what to say. Or maybe you are afraid that your pronunciation is not good.

First, remember the importanceof listening. Listen to the other person carefully. So that you can ask a follow-upquestion. For example, let's say the other person tells you, "I just got backfrom a trip to Canada". You can follow up with a question using Who, What,Where, When, Why, or How: Where did you go in Canada? What was your favorite placethere? How was the food there? If you want to keep a conversation going, it's agood idea to ask questions that cannot be answered with a simple 'yes' or 'no'.If the other person asks you a 'yes' or 'no' question, try to give a longer answerto help keep the conversation going. For example, a friend might ask, "Hey,have you seen the newStar Wars movie? You could just answer, "No, Ihaven't". Or, you could say more. You could answer, "No, but I plan tosee it soon. How about you?"

Do not worry about your pronunciation. If your pronunciation is a little different, the other person will still understand your message if you try speaking slowly and clearly. When you're travelling in an English-speaking country and have some free time, be brave and speak in English with someone who does not look too busy. You may make a new friend.

Genevieve Moss has serious hearing loss. Her world has always been silent. Alone in a town in England, she often felt lonely.

Then one day in April in 2021, something stopped Moss as she read the local newspaper. It was a photo of a tiny black-and-white cat. A family was looking for a home for their last newborn cat. Moss fell in love with it at first sight and contacted the family. Soon, the cat came to Moss's house. Moss called the cat Zebby because his colors looked like those of a zebra.

Moss once heard of studies showing that pets can help people deal with loneliness. However, she had no idea that Zebby would become her helper and her ears. From their first night together, Zebby has slept next to her. When he hears noises in the dark, he jumps up. "He became my night watch cat," Moss said. "Sometimes he would run around the room until I woke up."

After several weeks, Moss noticed that whenever her phone rang or someone knocked at the door, Zebby would touch her lightly. It wasn't long before the cat took on another task: collecting Moss's mail. Now whenever he hears the mailbox being opened, he runs towards it, carries the mail in his mouth and drops it at Moss's feet.

This past May Zebby was named Britain's National Cat of the Year by Cats Protection. According to the largest cat charity, Zebby beat out about 3,000 other cats because of the many ways he makes Moss's life easier. He has had no training at all, but his natural abilities seem to have told him that his owner needs his help.

"Zebby has made my house a home," Moss said. "I can hardly imagine not having Zebby in my life now."

 A. Choose the best answer

Alfred and Mary Walker and their son, Robert, live in England. They are visiting Hong Kong on Holiday. They will send postcards home. Now read what they are writing. 

Dear Richard, 

We arrived in Hong Kong three days ago. We are having a wonderful time, but every day is very busy. We get up early and go the bed late. It's rather tiring. 

Yesterday we took a bus to the Park. It was a very clear day. From the top, we saw the whole of Hong Kong. We took lots of photos. Some of them will be really good. I will buy a video camera for you because I know you want one. I'll get it tomorrow because we are going shopping. 

Your brother, 

Alfred

Dear Mum and Dad. 

We are having a lovely time in Hong Kong. Two days ago, we went to a place called Ocean Park. We saw lots of sharks and dolphins there. Robert enjoyed it very much. Today we are going to Lantau Island. We will see the huge statue of Buddha there. Tomorrow we are going shopping on Hong Kong Island. 

Hong Kong is very different to our hometown in England. The streets are more crowded and there is more traffic on the roads. It is noisier than at home as well, and everything is more expensive here!

See you soon. 

Lots of love, 

Mary

Hi Dan!

Hong Kong is a great city! There is so much to see and do here. We went to a great place called Ocean Park. I saw lots of tropical fish and some sharks. I also went on a roller—coaster and a cable car. 

I loved the roller—coaster and I went on it four times! Mum and Dad thought I was lost, but then they saw me at the top of the roller—coaster. 

Tomorrow will be a shopping day, the worst part of the holiday!

See you soon!

Your friend, 

Robert
