However, it adds a few extra functions that might interest you. You can view the information about users to find a match that interests you. Additionally, you can also send text and audio messages, and even do video calls with other people.‎ If you are a beginner, start from Duolingo and then use Hello English to take full command of the language.

It was 1991 and my mother had left behind everything she knew- family, friends and career.‎ Yet within two years, my parents3 marriage had broken down. After one particularly unpleasant fight, my mother left my father, taking me with her. With no family or friends, and in a country where she couldn't even communicate with people, she took me to Chinatown, the only area of Sydney she was familiar with. That night she laid me on a bench in Dixon Street, packing suitcases around us for security (安全) I will never forget the despair in her face at that time.‎ At around 4 am, a group of four young Chinese men noisily exited a club nearby. I remember them falling silent as they saw us. They approached and asked my mother why she was sleeping on the street with such a young child. My mother burst into tears as she told them our story-Without hesitating, they warmed me up, took our suitcases, and drove us to their students＇housing.‎ In the weeks that followed, the men looked after us with a youthful enthusiasm. Being poor students living on their own for the first time, they simply knew how to cook in a stupid way.‎ However, they insisted that a child should have homemade meals. They quickly adjusted their lives around us, buying fresh food, cooking, teasing me to make me laugh, and advising my mother on how to sort out her life.‎ Eventually, my mother reconciled (和解) with my father and we moved back in with him,‎ although they continued to split and make up several times.‎ Gradually we lost touch with the men as we all moved on. But at every milestone of my Life-graduations, entering university, getting a good job- I never forget that all of this was made possible because 22 years ago, a group of complete strangers took us in and shared everything they had to save us from life on the street.‎ ‎4. Why did my mother and I stay in Dixon Street that night?‎ A. We had no other place to go.‎ B. It was safe to stay there for night.‎ C. We were waiting for the Chinese men.‎ D. Mom was unfamiliar with Australia at all.‎ ‎5. How did the students feel the moment they saw us in the street?‎ A. Ashamed. B. Shocked. C. Amused. D. Nervous.‎ ‎6.

What message is conveyed in the passage?‎ A. There is no perfect husband or wife in marriage.‎ B. It's the timely help to someone in need that matters.‎ C. It's a great challenge for the Chinese to study abroad.‎ D. Childhood memory contributes to guiding present behavior.‎ C For years the Italian city of Venice has been struggling with a few concerns. Saint Mark's Square is often flooded. Venice' s waterways require repairs. But, by far, the biggest problem is the rapidly growing number of visitors to the city.‎ So city officials have decided to require all visitors to pay a fee to enter Venice. The money will help to pay for cleaning and other services that help to keep the city beautiful.‎ Venice's Mayor Luigi Brugnaro explained the decision to international media during a visit to Rome last week. “Venice is a wonder of the world and only in this way can it be saved," the mayor said. “The fee process will be experimental at first," he added.‎ A one-day visit will cost about $7. City officials have yet to decide when the fee collection will begin. The money will be collected by transport companies that bring the tourists to Venice.‎ The city will set up cameras for those arriving in private cars. And there will be fines for those who do not pay the fee. Students, some workers and children under the age of six will not have to pay. Naturally, anyone born or living in Venice is exempt.‎ City officials hope this will prevent the overcrowding that often comes with large numbers of tourists. Some people living in Venice say they do not believe the fee plan will work. Lawyer Roberta Pierabon says it will be impossible to collect the money from everyone who visits the city. Visitors arrive from all sides. She does not believe tourists can be controlled and added that she disapproved of the plan. Other Venetians like the idea. They say it will make tourism less aggressive. Venetians love their city and know it will never stop appealing to visitors. Venice is so special, they say, that it belongs to the whole of humanity.‎ ‎8. What is the biggest problem that arises in Venice?‎ A. The visitor boom.‎ B. The frequent flood.‎ C. The poor city service.‎ D. The waterway repair.‎ ‎9. How will city officials deal with the big problem?‎ A. By educating citizens.‎ B. By doing experiments.‎ C. By charging fees.‎ D. By turning to media.‎ ‎10. What does the underlined word “exempt" probably mean in Paragraph 4?‎ A. Asked to stay.‎ B. Permitted to settle.‎ C. Required not to enter.‎ D. Allowed not to pay.‎ D Australian adults want to see＂life skills" introduced into school curriculums, including money management, job preparation and domestic tasks. New research from Monash University showed Aussie adults also widely supported the inclusion of technology, coding and artificial intelligence subjects to student curriculums to prepare them for future jobs.‎ ‎　　Co-author Professor Neil Selwyn, from Monash's new Education Futures, said the survey results of more than 2,000 Australians had taken himself and Dr Deana Leahy by surprise. “The life skills- -I wasn't expecting that at all," he said. Those quizzed were asked to rate the value of a list of subjects already in the curriculum, but were also given an open space to write what they think should be included. Professor Selwyn said people called for schools to teach financial skills,‎ budgeting, cooking and doing taxes. “You could argue that these are things people should be learning themselves, or learning from their families," Professor Selwyn said　“But we've got to be thinking forward in terms of the skills people will need for jobs and their ways of living"‎ ‎　　One respondent said schools should introduce a　“contemporary life skills" subject: “A compulsory l-hour a week class on skills needed that parents seem continually unable to teach their kids." Suggestions for the class included resume writing, filing tax returns and health claims.‎ Another respondent called for students to be taught general life skills as unfortunately not enough kids will have parents to actually be bothered to educate them or simply parents don't know themselves.‎ ‎　　Of the subjects, maths was the highest ranked (75.5 percent), followed closely by English ‎(74.8 percent). And while science was the third highest ranked subject (46.2 percent), it was more strongly supported by those who earned higher wages and were university educated compared to lower income earners.‎ ‎　　Aspects of school life considered least important were students having fun, learning about things that interested them and being given the opportunity to be creative.‎ ‎12. Why did the adults suggest adding　“life skills" to school curriculums?‎ A. To vary school curriculums.‎ B. To enrich students' school life.‎ C. To prepare students for future work and life.‎ D. To save parents the trouble of educating kids.‎ ‎13. What did Professor Selwyn think of the adults' suggestions?‎ A. Reasonable.‎ B. Ridiculous.‎ C. Interesting.‎ D. Impractical.‎ ‎14. What does Paragraph 3 focus on?‎ A. Opinions from the surveyed.‎ B. Differences of school subjects.‎ C. Reasons for the school survey.‎ D. Investigations of the respondents.‎ ‎15. What can we know from the passage?‎ A. The present curriculums are to adults' taste.‎ B. Students' interests have been greatly promoted.‎ C. The parents quizzed think highly of school life.‎ D. Contemporary life skills involve resume writing.‎ 第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5 分，满分12.5分)‎ ‎　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Four ways to save money at airports ‎　　Going on holiday can be an expensive business, so the last thing you want to do is spend a fortune at the airport.
