The Spotlight in Rio ‎ Phelps puts spotlight on cupping（拔火罐）‎ ‎ Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps fed American swimmers to 8 gold medals in the ‎ 4×100-meter relay, but what attracted media attention and led to stories and photos around the globe were the purple and red circles on his back.‎ ‎ Michael Phelps of the USA is seen with red cupping marks on his shoulder as he competes ‎ during the 2016 Rio Olympics men's 200m butterfly in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil , Aug 8,2016‎ Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui goes viral ‎ Chain's women's swimmer Fu Yuanhui has created a sensation (引起轰动，大出风头 ) online not just by winning the bronze medal in the 1OOm backstroke competition,‎ ‎ but also by her facial expressions during the post semi-final interview with China Central Television (CCTV) on Monday ‎ When asked whether she held back for the final, Fu replied, "No, I used my ‘prehistorical Power’." What she meant was that she had spared no efforts in the semi-final. Since then the so-called "prehistorical power" has gone viral and become a new Internet meme（表情包）.‎ Britain wins first Olympic diving gold in men's synchronized 3m springboard（男子双人3米 跳板）‎ ‎ Britain's Jack Laugher and Chris Mears ended China's gold medal monopoly（垄断）over diving events at the Rio Olympics by winning the men's synchronized 3m springboard final On Wednesday, the country's first-ever Olympic gold medal in diving.‎ ‎ Laugher and Mears finished with a six-round total of 454.32 points, just 4.11 points ahead of silver medallists Mike Hixon and Sam Dorman of the USA at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Center.‎ China's Cao Yuan and Qin Kai took the bronze with 443.70 points ‎21.

Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal（撤销） of the fuel subsidy(补贴) by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.‎ On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.‎ It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will deal with the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.‎ Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on (靠......赚钱）the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investors.‎ Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps.‎ Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Therefore, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it. ‎ ‎24. Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?‎ A. Because they wanted the authority to increase their driving allowances.‎ B. Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi-hiring apps.‎ C. Because they wanted to appeal to passengers not to hire the private cars.‎ D. Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the authority.‎ ‎25. The author’s attitude to banning internet car-hiring service is __________.‎ A. positive       B. negative    C. neutral         D. unclear ‎26. Which of the following statements is True?‎ ‎ A. All the taxi drivers in China benefit a lot from taxi-hiring apps.‎ ‎ B. Taxi drivers mainly complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government.‎ ‎ C. The Internet-based car-hiring services have become popular all over China.‎ ‎ D. The Internet-based car-hiring services are challenging the traditional taxi industry.‎ ‎27. We can learn from the passage that __________. ‎ A. Shenyang forbade apps-based car rental companies B. Shanghai is the second city banning Didi Zhuanche C. it is not difficult to picture the apps-based car rental companies illegal D. some international investment companies have strong faith in the future of apps-based car rental companies ‎ ‎ ‎ C Service Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complains. Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, and in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips.‎ According to a representative (代表）of Service Foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard（不达标的）, low quality meats. As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much. The natural flavor disappears, and it can be replaced with an undesirable strange flavor. According to Service Foods, complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats. Kids may not have the words to describe why they don't like the meats, but they're certainly willing to express their displeasure. By serving meats from Service Foods, complaints can be reduced. Service Foods meats are all natural and organic（有机的）, meaning the meats have no chemicals or water or colorings that could change the taste. And the meats are flash-frozen right after cutting, so they won't taste strange to your children.‎ If you're facing different types of complaints, Service Foods may still be able to help you. Some families have mealtime boredom. The same meals, served in the same way, week after week, can be incredibly（令人难以置信地） boring and hard to look forward to. When it comes to these complaints, Service Foods has the answer right on the web. Just go to long list of recipes to try. Some of these recipes are made in demonstration format（示范格式）, so you can watch the video and get step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the meals. By following these recipes from Service Foods, complaints relating to boredom can certainly be reduced.‎ While Service Foods knows complaints at mealtime can never be totally eradicated, ‎ as picky （挑剔的） kids will always be picky kids with concerns, the company is doing everything possible to deal with the problem and get cooks the help they need.‎ ‎28. Service Foods can solve mealtime boredom by ______.‎ A. serving flash-frozen meat B. expressing children's complaints C. instructing different ways of cooking D. supplying natural food without chemicals ‎29 .The underlined word "eradicated" in the last paragraph can be replaced with ______.‎ A. covered B. removed C. reduced D. accepted ‎30.

Now I would like to tell you something about the extra-curricular reading in our school. As a matter of fact, most of the students in our school haven’t realized the importance of reading, especially extra-curricular reading. Therefore, the time and energy devoted to reading are limited. Besides, some students prefer to read comic books, magazines and newspapers rather than classic reading materials.‎ I think the reasons for such phenomenon are various. First of all, quite a lot of students are burdened with too much homework. Still others haven’t formed a good habit of reading. They would rather spend time on TVs or computer games instead.‎ However, reading is obviously beneficial to both our life and study, which can not only broaden our horizon but enrich our life as well. So it is quite necessary for us students to take up reading and for teachers to lessen the amount of homework so that we can have more time to read. ‎ Best Wishes.‎ ‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua
