She is in her late 70s, and will probably need me to care for her in the future. I am willing to take on this responsibility but I find seeing her and talking to her stressful because I am so angry ab out what she and my father did to my elder sister. My sister was born “out of wedlock” in the 1950s. My sisters father disappeared and never turned up again. My mother loved my sister a lot even if she was an unwanted baby. But then my mother met and married my father. A few years later I was born. But my father didnt love my sister and my mother failed to protect her. We moved frequently, and my sister was not allowed to come along. She never came on holiday with us; instead she was sent to holiday camps. As she grew up, she started to use drugs and became an alcoholic. My sister is now in her mid-50s, jobless, living on benefits and mixing with a crowd of drunks. She has no partner, no children, no possessions and no company except for her dog. Her health is ruined, though she no longer drinks. I support her financially, but our relationsh ip is rocky as she hates the fact that my father loved me. She has no contact with my mother and is to this day excluded (排除）from any family event, including my fathers funeral. My mother refuses even to mention my sister.

BDoes your local town have a nickname? If so, what does it say about the area and the people who live there? Many cities are recognized across the world by their unofficial names. New York is the Big Apple, London is the Big Smoke, and Los Angeles is famously called La La Land.Now, as part of English Language Day on Wednesd ay, two British organizations, the English Project and Ordnance Survey, are launching （发起） an interactive project which aims to identify the nicknames which people use in their daily lives for the places which they like or dislike. “The name that people create for a place forms a connection with feelings,” explains Winchester Universitys Professor Bill Lucas, a patron (赞助者) of the English Project. “So Basingstoke becomes Amazingstoke; Swindon is known as Swindump and Padstow, hometown of chef Rick Stein, is nicknamed Padstein.” Basingstoke is a town in central England. The local nickname, Amazingstoke, shows the love that As well as creating what promises to be a fascinating resource of nicknames, there is a practical side to the project. “With the huge variety of place nicknames that exist, we could never hope to collect them all ourselves,” says Glen Hart, Ordnance Surveys head of research. “But the information from the project could prove vital. Organizations like the emergency services rely on our information when responding to 999 calls, so by having the most complete set of nicknames we could help the emergency services quickly locate the right place, and maybe even save lives.” A. It proves that most nicknames are interesting. B. It may help increase the number of nicknames. C. It is very helpful to emergency services. D. It has helped prevent deaths from happening. C A new study finds that combining music therapy（疗法） with a standard treatment for depression medication, plus psychotherapy and counseling （辅导） improves patient outcomes. Researchers invited 79 people between the ages of 18 and 50 years old who had been diagnosed with depression. 33 of the participants were offered 20 music therapy sessions, in addition to their usual treatment for depression. The other 46 participants received stan dard treatment, and acted as the control group. The groups was no longer statistically significant. Co-researcher Christian Gold, Ph.D., explained the study findings: “Our trial has shown that music therapy, when added to standard care including medication, psychotherapy and counseling（商讨）, helps people to improve their levels of depression and anxiety. Music therapy has specific qualities that allow people to express themselves and interact in a non-verbal way even when they cannot find the words to describe their inner experiences.” 65.

Dyou can call the police if there is a car accident, call for help when somebodys car breaks down, and call when somebody needs something before arriving home or at the office. The disadvantages is that people get distracted() when they are driving at the same time they are talking on a cellular phone. It can cause car accidents. Carl Khalid from Saudi Arabia: No. I would recommend if you want to use a cellphone while youre driving, pull over and take your time. You will avoid a lot of trouble. There are many advantages of using cellphones in cars. In emergencies such as accidents, a flat tire or engine problem, the cellphone is useful for calling 911 for help. Using the cellphone while driving can save time, but using it while driving can alsocause a lot of problems such as missing a red light or signs, not observing cars, or not paying attention to the speed limit. It causes a lot of problems. All these problems could cause loss of concentration. Mirna Hazim: Yes. A cellphone is helpful; it is one of the most important communication devices. For example, if you want to talk with somebody for an important reason, you can. One time when I was coming back from work at 10 oclock at night, I had a problem with my car. It wouldnt move. I was scared to go into a store to call my brother because I didnt know the places there. I thought it could be dangerous. That night, I found out that owning a cellphone is important.

News E Li Mingyang only joined Alibabas investment platform one month ago but he has already transferred（转移） almost all the cash in his bank account nearly Rmb200,000 ($32,000) to the online fund. He is far from alone . More than 30 million people in China have signed up to YuE Bao, or “Leftover Treasure”, only six months since its launch. Initially as the Chinese e-co mmerce group as a platform for its users to manage extra funds in their online payment accounts, YuE Bao is becoming something far more powerful: a straight-up substitute for traditional bank deposits （存款）.“Theres no point in keeping money in the bank any more. This is just as reliable, more flexible and you can earn a lot more from it,” Mr Li says. A quick hit of the YuE Bao application on his phone shows the Shanghai-based editor has earned more interest on his account over the past day than 94 per cent of other local users .“This is fun, almost like a computer game,” he says with a laugh. For every Rmb12 that companies and individuals have deposited in Chinese banks since June, they placed roughly Rmb1 in their YuE Bao accounts, according to Financial Times calculations based on official data. While it remains tiny compared with total deposits in the Chinese banking system, this transfer of cash from banks to the Alibaba platform is only speeding up. In the process, it threatens to upend( 颠倒) the rules of Chinas state-protected financial department, break banks profit model and shifting power to savers in a way that was scarcely imaginable at the start of this year. Other Chinese tech companies are getting in on the act. Tencent, developer of the hugely popular messaging app WeChat, is said to be designing a fund platform similar to YuE Bao. Baidu, the search engine company, began marketing investment products in October. “Internet companies, with their ability to instantly reach millions of consumers, have already started to change the competitive dynamic in finance,” says Ernan Cui, an analyst with GK Dragonomics, a Beijing-based research firm.72. In the first paragraph, what does the underlined part He is far from alone mean? A. li Mingyang lives far away from banks. B. Few people have transferred their money to the online fund. C. Not so many people have so much money. D. Many people have done the same as Mr. Li. 73. If Rmb12,000 is deposited in Chinese banks, then how much money will flow into Yu E Bao accounts according to the passage? A. Rmb 10 B. Rmb 100 C. Rmb 1,000 D. Rmb 10,000 74. As Yu E Bao has become so powerful as a platform for its users, what other Chinese e-comm
