1．If you are currently learning English，I highly recommend you check out the apps below.
Quizlet
When learning English，you probably have to memorize a lot of words.If you want to grow your vocabulary as fast as possible，a flashcard app like Quizlet is a great shortcut.With Quizlet，you can create a set of flashcards with new English words you are trying to learn，and practice typing them out until you know them by heart.It's a simple concept，but it's highly effective.
Spotify
Spotify is not a language learning app.But chances are that you already use it or a similar app for listening to music or podcasts（播客），and one of the effective ways to study is combining something you already use into your existing habits.If Spotify is already on your phone，you can subscribe to some podcasts for English learners or download playlists of songs for learning English，or make your own.
Beelinguapp
Beelinguapp makes reading in English as convenient as possible.It shows you a text in your own language with the English translation side-by-side.Texts are short enough so that you can really dig into every word.They cover topics from fairytales，to science，to current news articles.There's even a "karaoke" feature where you can read along to audio，which helps you match up the English pronunciation with the English spellings.
Tandem
Tandem is a language exchange app which connects learners from all over the world.It can help you find a native English speaker who is trying to learn your native language，so you can swap language skills.If you only have five minutes to spare，you can simply exchange messages with a native English speaker.If you have more time，you can have a longer，digital language exchange by sharing voice notes，or using video chat.It's a great way to test your English skills out with real people.

2．Shi developed an interest in handicraft （手工藝） when she was a child who often found herself alone at home.Out of boredom，she would play with paper，folding and cutting them into different shapes.This interest later developed into a passion，one that she decided to pursue by majoring in arts and design during her time in university.After graduation，however，she found herself working at a ship design company as she was unsure about what she wanted to do with her future.About a year later，the Shanghai Arts and Crafts Research Institute offered her a position in their paper-cutting department.Realizing that she still had a love for the handicraft，she made the career switch.
In 2010，Shi started learning paper-cutting from Xi Xiaoqin，an expert of paper cutting.Three years later，one of her works，The Fighting Fish，won the third place in a national competition.Six years later，Shi was named a Shanghai paper-cutting inheritor（繼承人）and became the city's "youngest inheritor" of the paper-cutting heritage.Over the past decade，Shi's works have been exhibited in 23 exhibitions.Although Shi is already so skilled that she can create an animal pattern in 10 minutes，she continues to practice her skills every day.The reason is that she views paper-cutting as not just an art form，but also a form of learning about traditional Chinese culture.She thinks she has the responsibility to inherit this cultural treasure，and will make more efforts to attract people from different age groups and different fields to try paper-cutting.

3．In times of epidemic，with visitors restricted，many residents in nursing homes have felt lonely and separated from the world，so animals have become an especially important way to lift their spirits.At Senior Living Society in Scotland，seniors recently got their very own puppy（幼犬）!
Gracie is a tiny golden retriever（金毛尋回犬） who lives with Pam Little，the social service manager for Senior Living Society.Every day，Gracie goes to work with Pam，and her official job is to be sweet and adorable to everyone she meets.Needless to say，she is skilled at her day job!She has quickly become a beloved member of the family for the seniors who live there.
"We've seen a lot of changes since she came，" Pam said. "We've seen a lot of smiles and hugs.It's giving them a lot to talk about apart from what they've seen in their daily life."
Gracie now visits with about 30 old people each day.Pam stays with Gracie the whole time to make sure everything goes smoothly.The precious pup has been bridging the gap for many of these residents who have been missing their friends and family during the epidemic.
Experts say pets like Gracie provide many health benefits for seniors，including increased mental and physical activity.Having a dedicated in-house dog enables nursing home residents to get all the goodness that comes with having a pet - with none of the stress or responsibilities.

9．Price of a Miracle Tess was an eight-year-old girl when she heard her mom and dad talking about her little brother，Andrew.All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money.
Only a very costly operation could save him now and it was looking like there was no one to lend them the money.She heard Dad say to her tearful mom with desperation， "Only a miracle can save him now."
Tess went to her bedroom and poured all the change she had saved out on the floor and counted it carefully：47 cents.She slipped out of home and made her way to Rexall's Drug Store.She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment.Finally，she took a quarter from her pocket and banged it on the glass counter.That did it ! "And what do you want？" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. "I'm talking to my brother from Chicago Medical University whom I haven't seen in ages，" he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
"Well，I want to talk to you about my brother，" Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. "He's really，really sick and I want to buy a miracle."
"We don't sell miracles here，little girl.I'm sorry but I can't help you，" the pharmacist said，softening a little."Listen，I have the money to pay for it.If it isn't enough，I will get the rest.Just tell me how much it costs."Tess answered with a blind faith.
The pharmacist's brother was a well-dressed man.He stooped down and asked the little girl， "What kind of a miracle does your brother need？" "I don't know，" Tess replied with her eyes welling up.
"I just know he's really sick and Mom says he needs an operation.But my dad can't pay for it，so I want to use my money."
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右；
2.請按如下格式作答。
"How much do you have？" asked the man from Chicago.
