I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台),I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas. I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card. I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful. Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership —— a shop selling cars — was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom. “Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said. “Thank you”— two powerful words.

An oasis（绿洲）in Egypt, Siwa has been home to humans for thousands of years. Since ancient times, the oasis has hosted farms producing some of the most valuable dates in Egypt, and sugary dates have appeared on Egyptians' tables. The desert environment in Siwa is not quite fit for plants to grow. For example, the water there contains much salt. However, with local people's efforts, the Siwa oasis contains complex agricultural fields, where date trees, crops and other plants grow in harmony. That impressed me a lot during my visit to the oasis. To make a new piece of field, farmers first remove the top soil and replace it with a mixture of sand and waste matter from animals. The first plants are medicinal plants. Then, farmers plant date trees and olive trees. These farming skills are passed down from generation to generation. To grow date trees is demanding. And it takes 10years for a new date tree to mature, but once it does, the tree produces generous fruit: around 110 pounds of dates per year. Each farmer picks dates with the skilled hands. They climb the trees using nothing more than a belt. In total, Siwa grows more than 25,000 tons of dates from 280,000 trees per year. The dates can be eaten fresh, or made dry. Every part of the date tree is significant in Siwa, from leaves made into beds and boxes to wood used to build houses. And then, of course,there's the fruit itself. The dates can be cooked with goat meat or mixed with eggs for breakfast. They can also be mixed with flour, water, and olive oil, and boiled slowly to make a local dessert. Local farmers once developed many unique date varieties, which their camels carried to Cairo. But later many of those varieties perished. And today only several major varieties remain and some have become quite rare and been at risk. The 1985construction of a road in the oasis made the survival of local agricultural tradition even tougher. 61. What can we learn about sugary dates from Paragraph 1? A. They can adapt to tough environment. B They have existed for a long time. C. They' re introduced to Egypt from abroad D. They' re the most valuable fruit in Egypt. 62. What impressed the author a lot during his visit to Siwa? A. The great variety of plants grown there. B. The hard but happy life of local people. C. The great complexity of the local agriculture. D. The local farmers' wisdom and contribution to farming. 63. What do the figures mentioned in Paragraph 3 show? A. It's worthwhile to make an effort to grow date trees. B. It's easy for farmers to pick dates from the trees. C. It costs a lot to grow date trees in the basis. D. It's necessary to develop agriculture in Siwa. 64. What's Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. People's preference for dates. B. The introduction to local food. C. The usage of date trees' different parts. D. The locals' high expectations of date trees. 65. What does the underlined word" perished" in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Died out. B. Spread out. C. Got created. D. Became known. D TikTok is setting a 60-minute daily screen time limit for users who are aged under 18. The video app, which is owned by Chinese firm Byte Dance, said it is introducing the feature to encourage teens to manage their screen time. TikTok added that the new limit comes after it brought in a prompt(提示符) last year, which helped increase the use of their screen time tools by 234%. Hitting the limit, users affected will receive a new passcode on the screen in their app to unlock extra time. Anyone who rejects the new 60-minute restriction and goes on to use the app for 100 minutes a day will receive a warning from TikTok to set their own screen time controls. Parents of children using the Family Pairing option on the app will also be able to set screen time limits, as well as access a dashboard(控制面板) which would give a breakdown of app usage. Cormac Keenan, head of trust and safety at TikTok, said the company had worked with researchers in developing the new limits. " Since there's no agreement on the right amount of screen time, we consulted the current academic research and experts from the Digital Wellness Lah at Boston Children's Hospital in choosing this limit. " he said. Critics of the video app welcomed the screen time limit, but described it as the" tip of the iceberg" when it comes to TikTok's response to young users' exposure to the platform."TikTok has won the race for the hearts and minds of 14 to 24-year-olds in the United States and the United Kingdom, " said Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Center for Countering Digital Hate. " It is the one that needs to be dealt with most urgently. " Mr Ahmed said his centre's research at the end of last year found that within minutes of opening a TikTok account,a 13-year-old girl user was receiving eating disorder and self-harm content in her feed. He called on the platform to focus its efforts not just on limiting screen time, but also to" clean up" feeds of harmful content to make it a" safe environment for children". 66.

A. encourage in-person interactions B. increase the use of the platform C. help teens stay in control of their use D. avoid criticism from concerned parents. 67.
