• 2．Some people have a very poor sense of direction.Unluckily，I am one of them.I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
     When I was a little girl，I never dared to ask strangers the way.And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.
     Now，I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions，but I often receive helpless or even wrong information.So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions.If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere，I would say，"Sorry，I am a stranger here."
     Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man.He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building.I gave him my usual reply.But just as I walked on only a few steps，I realized that he had asked the way to my office building.However，I had no time to turn back and look for him.I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.
     When I just got to my office，the secretary（秘書） showed in the man who had asked me for directions.Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight!

• 3．Chinese President Xi Jinping announced on July 31 that China's BeiDou Navigation Satellite System（BDS）has been completed and has started providing full-scale global services that day.
     In the 1990s，Chinese government approved and began research and development of a space-based navigation and positioning system aimed at easing the country's heavy dependence on foreign networks.The system is called "BeiDou".It has planned a three-step strategy for developing the BDS.
     The construction of BDS-1，the first step of the strategy，started in 1994 and was completed in 2000.The BDS-2 system started construction in 2004.By 2012，a total of 14 satellites had been launched to complete the deployment（部署）.In November 2017，China launched the first two satellites for the BDS-3 system，which started construction in 2009，and officially expanded its regional navigation system into a global network.
     In late June，the final satellite to complete BeiDou's third-generation network was lifted by a Long March 3 B carrier rocket.After in-orbit tests over the past month，the satellite recently started its formal operations.
     Since 2000，59 BeiDou satellites，including the first four experimental ones，have been launched from Xichang on 44 Long March 3-series rockets，with some of them having retired.
     BeiDou began providing services for civilian users in China and other parts of the Asia-Pacific region in December 2012.At the end of 2018，it started providing basic global services.BeiDou offers accurate positioning，navigation and timing，as well as short messaging communication.The services are used in various fields.
     It offers an alternative to Russia's GLONASS and the European Union's Galileo system，as well as the United States' GPS.
     The operating of BeiDou's full-scale global services is a significant milestone in China's efforts to boost science and technology and strengthen its space industry.The move is a major contribution to the global public-service infrastructure（基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施） as well as a remarkable strategic achievement of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

  A．2.
  B．3
  C．4
  D．5
  （2）Which is NOT the function of the BDS？

  （3）What do we know about the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System（BDS）？

  
  A．In the BDS，there are 59 satellites in service.
  B．The BDS will replace GPS in the near future.
  C．The BDS is a great contribution to the whole world.

      Steve was the most amazing person in all of Minneapolis，and he was my cousin.By the age of 19，Steve was a star baseball player at the University of Minnesota.I wanted to be exactly like him.So when Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota，I was excited!
      After planning the trip，we gathered clothes and supplies，and began our great adventure.We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening.On our way to the campsite，Steve pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains，saying that it was the ranger station where the forester worked.
      Finally，after a long walk，we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting.Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper.After we gathered enough wood from the forest，he started the campfire using only stone and steel-no matches.For supper we feasted on freeze-dried beef，wild rice and pea soup.I ate greedily after all that work.
      Tired enough，we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day.We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up；the temperature dropped and it began to snow.Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent.He dragged a log from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire.Then he wrapped aluminum foil around the log.The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent.Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams.
      The snow had stopped，but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire.I was abruptly awakened by Steve.Our tent was on fire.Frightened，I ran out of the tent immediately.The tent collapsed with Steve inside.
  注意：
  1.所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  2.至少使用5個(gè)短文中標(biāo)有下劃線的關(guān)鍵詞語；
