Twice a month, Jenny Green sits down, picks up her pen and writes a letter to her best friend. The British woman has been doing it for 80 years. She has sent more than 1,500 letters to her pen pal in America.
The hobby started in 1942. Jenny, then 12 years old, was reading a magazine. Some ads in the magazine were asking for pen pals. One of them caught Jenny’s eye. It was from Alice Miller. She lived in America and was also 12. “It was exciting for me,” Jenny said. “I sat down at once, wrote a letter, put it in an envelope—together with a picture of myself —and posted it.”
Jenny spent every day waiting for the postman. Two weeks later—which felt like a lifetime—a reply dropped through the letter box. “I was overjoyed,” Jenny said. “There was a letter and a picture of my new friend. She was all the way on the other side of the world!”
Jenny and Alice wanted to learn more about each other. They kept writing. The two found that they had a lot in common. They liked the same books and the same films.
However, both Jenny and Alice were too poor to afford a plane ticket. It was not until 1987 that they met. “I was glad to see the person I had been writing to for 40 years,” Jenny said. “We had a big hug and then sat down, chatting for hours.”
Now in their nineties, Jenny and Alice are still writing to each other. And they still write by hand. “Writing is warmer and friendlier. So why shall we change the habit of a lifetime?” Jenny said. “I’m so glad that I wrote that first letter 80 years ago.”
4. Where did Jenny Green first see Alice’s information?
A. In a magazine. B. On a website. C. On social media. D. In a newspaper.
5. The underlined word “overjoyed”（in Paragraph 3）probably means “________.”
A. very sad B. very tired C. very worried D. very happy
6. According to the article, what did Jenny and Alice have in common?
①They liked the same films. ②They were of the same age.
③They liked the same books. ④They liked the same movie stars.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
7. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Jenny has many pen pals.
B. Jenny and Alice will keep writing by hand.
C. Jenny doesn’t know how to use a computer.
D. Jenny and Alice will write to each other by email.

For years, it has been said that newspapers are at death’s door. Each of the past few years has seen many newspapers say goodbye to their readers. But why is the situation so terrible for newspapers?
Newspapers have a long history. The first newspaper was printed in the 1600s. The industry experienced its most successful time in the early 20th century.
With the appearance of radio and TV, however, newspaper circulation（发行量）began to fall. By the mid-20 century, radio and TV had become so popular that people no longer had to depend on newspapers for news. This was especially true for the latest news.
Afternoon newspapers were the first to suffer. More and more people coming home from work turned on the TV, instead of opening a newspaper. But generally, newspapers still managed to survive（生存）. Although they couldn’t compete with TV in spreading the latest news, they could provide in-depth reports that TV news could not.
But newspapers suffered another heavier blow in the 1990s. With the appearance of the Internet, lots of information became free. Many newspaper readers realized that they could conveniently read news online for free. There seemed to be little reason any longer for them to pay for a newspaper.
So what will the future of newspapers be like? Will newspapers die? Maybe not. Many newspapers are now changing. Some are going digital（数字化的）. Some are going even farther by taking the industry to places it has never been to. After all, people still want the news. And many agree that newspapers are important for in-depth news and opinions. If newspapers were to completely disappear, there would be nothing to take their place.
8. When was the first newspaper printed?
A. In the 1600s. B. In the 1900s.
C. In the early 20th century. D. In the mid-20th century.
9. How did newspapers manage to survive against competition from TV?
A. By going digital. B. By working with TV.
C. By including more pictures. D. By focusing on in-depth reports.
10. Newspapers suffered again in the 1990s because ________.
A. people lost interest in reading news B. newspapers became more expensive
C. TV started to focus on in-depth news D. people could read news online for free
11. Which of the following would the writer most likely agree with?
A. The future of newspapers is hopeless. B. The future of newspapers is still uncertain.
C. Many newspapers will die in the near future. D. Afternoon newspapers will become popular again.
D
Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft music.
Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality and quantity（量）. This works for sleepers of all ages, and even for those with sleeping problems. Soft music can help us fall asleep better, wake up less during the night and feel more relaxed in the morning. You may not notice the effects（功效）overnight, though. It could take as many as 3 weeks to see any improvements.
Why can soft music help us sleep better? The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may connect with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate（心率）and slow down our breathing. This prepares us for sleep.
Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats（节拍）per minute（bpm）works best. Classical, jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles. Familiar songs work well, too. You may need to test to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into . And remember to get volume（音量）right. Make sure that the final piece is gradually slowing down. Or you may be woken up by the sudden silence.
It’s very important to get enough high-quality sleep. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music. Then, just prepare to be rocked off to dreamland.
12. It is found that soft music can ________ sleep.
A. help people of all ages B. only help people under the age of 15
C. only help people with sleeping problems D. only help people who are experiencing lots of stress
13. According to the article, it may take as long as ________ before you notice the effects of soft music.
A. 3 hours B. 3 nights C. 3 weeks D. 3 months
14. How can we work out how many beats a song has in a minute?
A. By comparing it with a 70-bpm song.
B. By entering the song’s title into .
C. By finding out whether it can help us fall asleep.
D. By counting our heart rates while listening to the song.
15. What is the article mainly about?
