I've been back in the UK for three days, but it feels like a century! It's amazing to see my family. Also, I really love Christmas and the delicious food. However, I've had some digital problems here.☹ Today, I wanted to get some vegetables and meat from a shop. I decided to ride a shared bike to get there. But it took forever to find a bike! I finally found an old one. But that 20-minute ride cost me an arm and a leg—4.8 pounds! In the shop, I quickly got everything I needed. I wanted to pay with my smartphone. I asked the shopkeeper to show the QR code, but she didn't understand! Next, I tried to use my digital wallet, but the shop's payment system didn't work. The shopkeeper told me to use cash. As I always make digital payments in China, I never carry my wallet. I had to go home to get some cash. When I got home, I was so tired that I gave up on cooking. I ordered my favourite dishes through an app instead, but the delivery was really slow. When my dishes finally arrived 90 minutes later, they were stone-cold! I had to heat them one by one in the oven. I felt tired and hungry. Except for today, I've had a great holiday. However, I'm looking forward to going back to China. The technology there lets me live a more convenient life! While-reading Fast-reading Read the passage.

I felt tired and hungry. 我感觉又累又饿。 a.“feel” 作为系动词使用，构成主系表结构，用来表达主语的某种感觉、情感、身体状态等。 b.“feel” 的过去式 “felt”表明这种 “又累又饿” 的感觉是过去某个时间发生或存在的。 c.“feel” 作为系动词，常与各种形容词搭配，来具体描述不同的感受。 Eg：I feel happy.我感到高兴。 She feels cold.她感觉冷。 5.However, I'm looking forward to going back to China. 然而，我正盼望回到中国。 a.“look forward to” 基本意思为 “期待；盼望”，表达对未来某个事件、活动或情况的热切期待。 Eg：We are looking forward to the holiday.我们盼望着假期。 b.“look forward to” 中的 “to” 是介词，不是动词不定式符号，所以其后若接动词，要用动词的 -ing 形式（即动名词）。 Eg：She looks forward to meeting her old friends. 她期待着见到她的老朋友。 一、英汉互译 1.圣诞节假期_________________ 2.共享单车____________ 3.digital payment____________ 4.二维码___________ 5.cost an arm and a leg______________________ 6.see my family__________________ 7.feel like________________ 8.期待________________ 代价高昂，价格非常高 Christmas holiday shared bike 数字支付 QR code 看望我的家人 look forward to 想要；感觉像 二、词形变化 1.amaze(形容词1)_________(形容词2)________ 2.want(单三形式)______(过去式)_______ 3.take(单三形式)_______(现在分词)________(过去式)_______ 4.quickly(对应词)_______ 5.shopkeep(名词)___________ 6.find(过去式)_______ wanted wants amazed amazing takes took taking slowly shopkeeper found 三、用所给单词的适当形式填空 1.It's amazing __________(go) to the zoo. 2.
