Even people I don’t know send me their old phones these days when they find out about my strange hobby. It all started when I was eight. I saw my parents using their mobiles all the time and I kept asking them if I could have one. My dad told the guy next door about this and one day he came round with a ten-year-old phone he no longer used. Everyone at school thought it was great when I took it there the next day, even though it didn’t actually work!E veryone has a reason for collecting things. For some, it’s because whatever they’re collecting may be worth lots of money in the future. Others love having something that could be shown in a museum somewhere. That’s certainly what attracts (吸引) me to it. I often wonder what’s inside them, as they’re so much heavier than modern phones.Some people find my hobby a bit strange. I used to tell everyone about it, but some people just didn’t know what to say, so they ended up feeling uncomfortable, which I’d rath er avoid. I can completely understand—not everybody keeps over 150 old mobile phones in their bedroom! Most people find the fact that it’s unusual really interesting, and I’m proud to have such an unusual hobby.My mum and dad put up some shelves to keep m y collection on. Although there’s probably space for a few more, and there are still some particular (特定的) phones I’d like to find, I may give up collecting them before long. My dad recently gave me the coins he collected when he was my age and they look amazing. It is a far more expensive hobby but I really love having a go at it. I’ve spent more or less nothing on my phone collection so I’ve managed to save up quite a bit. We’ll see!( )4. Who gave the writer the first phone in his collection?A. A stranger.B. A neighbor.C.

I always dropped in to see her and surprise her with her favorite desserts.In her late years, she lived in a life-care center due to Alzheimer’s disease. One day I was heartbroken to know that my mom no longer knew I was her son. She would often ask, “Now, what is your name?” and I would tell her my name and that I was her son. She would smile and reach for my hand.On one of my visits, I stopped by the local shop and bought my mother a strawberry milkshake. She drank it slowly one bit at a time. After she finished the milkshake, she lay down on the bed for a rest, remaining awake and satisfied.Without a word, I pulled a chair close to the bed and reached over to hold her hand. After about 10 minutes, I felt that she gave my hand a squeeze (挤压)... three squeezes. They were short but I knew what she was saying without having to hear any words.I gave her hand two soft squeezes. She turned her head and gave me a loving smile. She quietly said, “It’s important to have someone who loves you. ”I wept. They were tears of joy. I gave her a warm hug, told her how much I loved her, and left.My mother passed away shortly after that. Very few words were spoken that day, but those she spoke were words of gold.

He read a letter by Zhuge Liang to the emperor of Shuhan during the Three Kingdoms Period in the new season of Growling Tiger and Roaring Dragon (《虎啸龙吟》).The letter has been read by so many students. We would never have thought that the text written in old Chinese could be so beautifully read in another language. As a result, foreigners begin to show interest in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, translated by C. H. Brewitt-Taylor and Robert E. Hegel.Earlier in November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing the story for the first time. However, the story of the Monkey King isn’t new to Chinese children in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West.As soon as the TV program came out more than 30 years ago, Western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up.Chinese scholars (学者) should do a better job of introducing Chinese literature (文学) to the rest of the world. At the same time, we could encourage Western schools to try something different.5Reading international literature is an effective way of understanding other people in the world.
