With Halloween just around the corner, today we will explore the world of ghosts in this program!

The Merriam-Webster online dictionary says th e word “ghost” goes back a thousand years to the “earliest recorded evidence of the language.” The first meaning of “ghost” was “the seat of life or intelligence.” And it still has that meaning in some expressions.

However, today, the word “ghost” usually means the soul of a dead person. This meaning is based on the idea that a person’s spirit and body are separate. The spirit can continue existing long after the body has died.

During Halloween, kids dressed as ghosts are common sights. The costume is very simple: just throw on a white cloth that covers you from head to foot. But do not expect to

win any costume competitions! You would not have a ghost of a chance. People use this expression to mean that something is very unlikely to happen.

The sight might even make you turn pale as a ghost. This is used when people lose color in their face. Sometimes this happens when a person is scared. But a bad cold or flu can also turn you as pale as a ghost.

“Ghost” can also be a verb. In the 1880s the term ghost meant a person who works in secret for another person. Ghostwriters produce speeches for politicians. They also produce books for authors who want to tell their life stories but are not professional writers.

And sometimes ghostwriters are involved in a series o f books, like the children’s stories based on the teenage detective Nancy Drew. The series began in 1930. The author given credit was Carolyn Keene. But she was not even real! Ghostwriters did all the work.

Another expression using “ghost” as a verb is sim ply to ghost. This does not mean to die. It means to leave a place or event without saying “goodbye” to anyone. You can ghost from your job. You can ghost from a party. You can even ghost from a relationship. This is when you stop communicating with someone because you are simply no longer interested in them.

But I will not ghost from Words and Their Stories.

24. The basic meaning of the word “ghost” nowadays is ___________.

A. the secret of another person

B. the spirit of a dead person

C. the color of one’s face

D. the origin of intelligence

25. If someone says “you don’t have a ghost of chance to win the match”, he means

__________.

A. without doubt you won’t lose the match

B. the match is unlikely to happen

C. it’s impossible for you to win th e match

D. you are too scared to win the match

26. What can be inferred about the word “ghost” according to the passage?

A. Kids dressed in a white cloth like ghosts can win a costume competition.

B. A bad cold can turn people as pale as a ghost because they fear illness.

C. It was Carolyn Keene who ghostwrote the children’s stories.

D. A person devoted to his job is unlikely to ghost from his job.

27. This passage is likely to appear in __________.

A. a radio program

B. a Halloween poster

C. a fashion magazine

D. a newspaper advertisement

For many people who live in cities, parks are an important part of the landscape. They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.

One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen, which

humans need to breathe. According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler. Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal and concrete(混凝土）absorb much more of the sun’s heat and release(释放) it much more quickly than organic surfaces like trees and grass. Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas. Parks and other green spaces help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect.

Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks because most land is already being used for buildings, roads, parking lots, and other essential parts of the urban environment. However, cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens. While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years. Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment(投资）of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.

Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces, but without taking up the much-needed land. In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills. Rooftop vegetable and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city settlers, making their diets healthier. Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy, they are also a smart environmental investment.

28. The underlined word “emits” in the second paragraph probably means “__________”.

A. carries away

B. takes up

C. gives out

D. breathes in

29. Which of the following contributes to the Urban Heat Island Effect?

A. More building materials.

B. More trees and grass.

C. More parking lots.

D. More rooftop gardens.

30. When it comes to rooftop gardens, what can be inferred from the passage?

A. They make people much happier.

B. They provide more benefits than urban parks.

C. They help to save money and keep a healthy diet.

D. They have become very popular in recent years.

31. What’s the author’s attitude towards rooftop gardens?

A. Sceptical.

B. Supportive.

C. Critical.

D. Objective.

Are you a social media addict? Are you always checking your smartphone to see

how many 'likes' you've received for your latest post? Maybe you feel comforted by the sound that someone has sent you a message?

Don't worry, you're not alone. We check our phones an average of 150 times a day, and around 30% of the total time spent online is devoted to social media. Some experts now fear this habit could be damaging our mental health.

This is something particularly bothering young adults, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh. It found the more they used social media, the more likely they were to be depressed(沮丧的). In tests, those people who checked social media frequently were 2.7 times more likely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing the internet, who had just 1.7 times the risk.

Some of us certainly feel sad when we're ignored on social media sites, or when we see someone else having a better time than us. But depression is a more serious condition and clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told the BBC that, "It’s a real issue, and it’s been getting significantly worse over the last 5-6 years. You can get so hooked that it takes you away from your real relationships." However, Abigael does admit that social media is more likely to worsen pre-existing issues than directly cause them.

Other research by Glasgow University found that teenagers are affected by the 24-hour demands of their social media accounts. It found that those with higher levels of emotional investment in social media, and who use it at night, were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.

Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking? Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we don't want to miss out on a conversation that's taking place online. But we need to know when to switch off our virtual（虚拟的）online world and connect with the real world instead.

32. Who is more likely to be depressed according to the study?

A. People checking social media frequently.

B. People surfing the Internet regularly.

C. People receiving a few “likes” for their posts.

D. People longing for more messages.

33. Why does the author give a quote from Abigael San in Para.4?

A. To introduce the coming topic.

B. To give a more supporting example.

C. To stress the importance of social media.

D. To explain the cause of a social media addict.

34. Why do people get addicted to social media according to the author?

A. Because they have more time and money.

B. Because the virtual world is much more attractive.

C. Because they want to attract more attention.

D. Because emotional investment in social media benefits them.

35. What’s the passage mainly about?

A. It’s common for teenagers to be a soci al addict.

B. Using smartphones does harm to people’s health.

C. It’s better to stay away from virtual online world.

D. Social media addiction contributes to depression.

Curling（冰壶运动）is a w inter sport, played on ice. Therefore, it’s most popular in northern countries like Canada. Curling is played in the USA by about 15,000 people.

36 Scottish winters were long and there were few forms of entertainment. So people began making a sport out of sliding heavy stones on the frozen lakes. The game spread, and in the 1700s curling clubs formed. Then Scottish soldiers brought it to North America.

37 Men, women, and children often compete on the same team, if they can slide

a forty-pound stone down the ice! Both teams slide their stones toward the same goal. After all 16 stones have been cast, the team whose stone has slid closest to the goal gets one point.

38 The ice is so smooth and the stone is so heavy that even the smallest misjudgment in a throw can make the stone slide much too far or stop too suddenly. 39 Water helps the stone slide, but it can also change the stone’s path.

In curling, a broom is part of each player’s equipment. A good curler must know how much force to use. The player must know the exact conditions of the ice on the court.

40 That may explain why the international Olympic Committee decided to make curling an Olympic sport in 1998.

A. Players compete on the court.

B. Then the play begins in the other direction.

C. Curling is played by teams of four people.

D. In other words, a good curler must be a fine athlete.

E. The rules are easy to learn, but playing the game is hard.

F. The melting of the ice makes things tough for the curlers.

G. Curling probably began in Scotland in the 1500s or earlier.

One Possible Version

Dear Mrs Jenkins,

I’m Li Hua, a student of Mick’s class. I’m extremely sorry to tell you Mick is in hospital. On August 10, some classmates and I invited Mick to take a bike trip. On the way back, he fell off his bike carelessly and had his leg broken. Immediately we took him to our local best hospital. After a CT scan, the doctor said his leg injury was a bit serious and that he had to be treated for over a month.

Fortunately, he has the insurance to cover the medical costs. Please don’t worry about him since we are taking good care of him every day.

Regards,

Li Hua

During my first year in China, I spent the summer holidays with my family at the seaside in Beidaihe. The hotel that we were staying in was very near the sea, so we used to spend most of our time swimming. Now, my wife is from Switzerland and when she was at home, she bought me a watch as a present. The watch she bought was waterproof and I never took it off, even when I was having a bath. When I went swimming at Beidaihe, I didn’t take my watch off either. On the last day of our holidays I went swimming an d came out of the sea without my watch. As I was leaving, the manager of the hotel said, “Leave your address and phone number so that we can send your watch to you if we can find it.” I did so but I wasn’t very hopeful. One week later, I got a phone call f rom the hotel. The man who found my watch was a PLA man. He picked it up when he was out walking on the beach one day and handed it in at police station. Threes days later, I got my watch back and it was still working.
