Dear Chen Jie,

    How is it going? Last Monday, we talked about our dreams in the class meeting. Some students didn't know what they wanted to be in the future. But I said that I wanted to be an English teacher. I hope to be a good teacher, like Mr. Wu. He makes his math class interesting. He often tells us to work hard and try our best to achieve our dreams.

    What are you going to be when you grow up?

Yours,

Li Ming

Dear Li Ming,

    Thanks for your letter. My dream is to be a voluntary(志愿的)doctor. But my parents don't agree with me. They think the job will sometimes be very difficult. This week I wrote to my Chinese teacher, Miss Liu. I asked her for some advice. She said that a good doctor could help more people and she told me not to give up my dream. Now, I'm sure of my dream job and maybe I will go to work in a poor place one day, but I will always be your friend!

Love,

Chen Jie

①The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is a modern art museum that is seen as one of the most famous art museums in the world. It was designed(设计) by Frank Gehry known for his special architectural designs. 

②The government of Bilbao, a large Spanish city, paid for Gehry to design this museum. The government of Bilbao thought that Gehry's building would bring many visitors to Bilbao and can help the economy(经济) improve. It turns out that the government of Bilbao made a very good decision. When the Guggenheim Museum first opened, a celebration was held. Even Spain's Queen and King attended____this celebration. Right after Gehry's building was open to the public, the economy improved. 

③Why has this museum been such a popular place for tourists? One reason is that Gehry's building design is different. Before Gehry had designed the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, most art museums looked same. For example, many of these art museums had columns(柱) and were built out of stone. 

④The other reason is that Gehry's museum did not look like traditional art museums. Instead of building his museum with stone, he used titanium(钛). Inside of the museum, there are different art exhibitions. The main source(来源) of light for these exhibitions comes from a large window on the top of the museum. This window is called a skylight. It looks like a flower. Would you like to visit the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao?

 仔细阅读以下短文, 从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Russ Miller,36, from Ohio, was first diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿性关节炎) when he was just 26, making it progressively difficult for him to do everyday tasks.

"My hands are deformed(畸形的). I can't bend them like others. Recently my thumb has stopped working," said Miller in a letter to a company. "I can no longer use normal computer keyboards and it's hard for me to even hold a pen anymore."

 Russ' condition resulted in him living on the streets in Florid for 4 years, but in 2018, he started trying to turn his life around. "I was trying to get help and get myself out of my situation. I had a phone, but I struggled to type on keyboards. So I started looking for alternative smartphone keyboards that might enable me to type again. I found the keyboard app Typewise by accident."

 Russ thinks that Typewise smartphone keyboard enables him to get his life back by allowing him to communicate with people, and therefore get help, get an apartment and even get a job. "I am able to communicate a lot better than talking, because my voice is kind of monotone(单调的) so people don't understand me very well. And because I was able to start typing on my phone again, I was able to use social media to reach out to an organisation that helps people with disabilities." It's the hexagonal (六边形的) layout of the keyboard that Russ finds a whole lot easier. "I can move my fingers around and not mess up as often."

"Now I have a part-time job where I take care of dogs and cats on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can't work full time, because of my physical issues but at least I have something to do and something to look forward to." Russ said.

The company making the smartphone app had been unaware that their unique keyboard design could help people with disabilities until they got Russ' letter.
