My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom.
I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during“club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.
A tough woman with salt-and pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, during my next twenty-five years, I became a, journalist by profession.
Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years.

Pinocchio may be just a children’s fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated this so-called “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses don’t grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.
Dr. Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography（体温计）to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tip of their nose dropped up to 1.2℃, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃. Scientist also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye.
“One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead,” Dr. Gómez Milán explained the findings. “At the same time we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose.”
For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while their temperature is scanned by technology. One of these tasks required making a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to make up the lie themselves during the call. Interestingly, this lie detector picked up the “Pinocchio effect” temperature difference in 80 percent of the test subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector.
“With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy”, said Dr. Gómez Milán, who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.
28.Why does the writer talk about Pinocchio in the first paragraph?
A.To tell a fairy tale. B.To give an example.
C.To talk about a scientist. D.To introduce the topic.
29.What is “Pinocchio effect”?
A.Our noses will grow when we tell a lie.
B.Our noses will shrink when we tell a lie.
C.The temperature of the forehead falls if we lie.
D.The temperature of the student rises for anxiety.
30.How did Dr. Gómez Milán feel about the lie detector?
A.Doubtful. B.Surprised.
C.Confident. D.Puzzled.
31.What lesson can we learn from the text?
A.A lie will travel very hard. B.Many ways to bring a liar to light.
C.A lie never lives to be old. D.Once a liar always a liar.

The type of soap with the name African black soap or simply black soap is the one that has its origin in Africa or West Africa to be precise.
The soap is often made by women and is fair-traded, though not always, Black soap is traditionally made in West Africa, typically Ghana, from secret recipes. Different tribes have adopted their own secret making techniques, which can be seen in different colors among black soap. Varieties of black soaps actually made in Africa tend to be pure.
The first step of making traditional African black soap is selecting the plant—usually cocoa pods or palm tree leaves, sometimes shea tree bark (酪脂树皮), which then are sun-dried and burned to ashes which are often used to heal cuts. To guarantee the natural color and light smell, it's important to keep a constant temperature of burning. Then the water is added into the ashes along with the shea butter, palm oil, and coconut oil. That mixture is cooked until it becomes stable. It needs to be hand stirred for at least 24 hours. After that, they scooped it out and let it ''cure'' for two weeks. Those soaps that are made in Africa contain no artificial ingredients (材料).
African black soap is being used for many generations and many causes. African black soap has many benefits over commercially produced soaps. One of the most common usage is to cure skin conditions and problems. After using this soap, the skin looks healthy. Another usage of the black soap is for removing the makeup and dead skin. It also gives an excellent UV (紫外线) protection because of the high level of shea butter in it.
However, the black soap also has some unpleasant side effects. For example, your skin may become over-dried. If so, you should stop using it and wash your skin with water.
32.What leads to color differences of African black soap?
A.Different market demands. B.The makers' personal preferences.
C.Some artificial ingredients. D.Various secret making techniques.
33. What should people do first when making African black soap?
A.Choose the proper plant. B.Change the temperature of burning.
C.Mix coconut oil up for a whole day. D.Dry palm tree leaves for two weeks.
34.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The benefits of African black soap.
B.The problems caused by black soap.
C.The harm of using African black soap.
D.The process of making African black soap.
35.What do we know about African black soap?
A.It has a strong smell.
B.It's effects are two-edged.
C.It's quite difficult to purchase.
D.It's specially made for women.

Dear Jack,
Delighted that you are interested in the pictures concerning Chinese students doing house-work, I’m writing to share with you my present life in this aspect.
Personally, apart from online learning during the epidemic days, I take an active part in fulfilling my duty of doing housework. By making beds, sweeping the floor and watering flowers instead of my mother, I have not only gained some labour skills, but also felt a strong sense of achievement and self-satisfaction. I even came to find my talent of being a chef, which greatly pleases my parents, saying that they have never been so relaxed. Actually, doing housework helps me realize how much my parents have done for my comfortable life. That’s why I have decided to keep my family role as a life-long habit.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
