24、I’m learning English in the UK where I meet a lot of new friends and eat something delicious. Hot pot is many Chinese people’s favourite food, including me. After having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes in the UK, how excited I was to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell the hot pot in the air. To my surprise, when I stepped into the room, in front of me were still potatoes and bread. Where was the hot pot?

With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with a French girl, I got to know that hot pot is completely different from hotpot. Chinese hot pot is written in two words and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.

Hotpot is made of mutton(羊肉) and onion. On the top there are sliced potatoes. People put it in the stove all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it’s easy to prepare for a large number of people and not expensive.

26、Among various programs, TV talk shows have covered all space on daytime television. But no two shows are more opposite, while at the same time standing out above the rest, are the Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey shows.

Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "rubbish talk". The topics on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.

Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Topics are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.

Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech about the general idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.

Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main audience are middle-class Americans. Most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with life's tough problems.

Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are people around 20 years old whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex , money and drugs. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned throung the talk shows.

【1】Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are ________.

A. more interesting   B. unusually popular

C. more detailed   D. more formal

【2】Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows ________.

A. show disbelief in them   B. are ready to face the problems

C. remain cold to them   D. are willing to get away from them

【3】Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?

A. A new type of robot.   B. National hatred (憎恨).

C. Family income planning.   D. Street accident.

【4】We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows _________________.

A. have become the only one of its kind   B. shows the weakness in human nature

C. appear at different times of the day   D. attract different people

I rely a lot on my phone to help me when I study in America. Here are some of the most useful apps I have used but never paid for!

Calendar

All phones come with an inbuilt calendar app. I’ve found myself using the app quite a lot recently. It is important to know your date when p【1】 a weekend away. It is also comforting to check the app when I’m feeling homesick –it helps to remind me that I will be home soon, so I should make the most of my time  a【2】.

Google Translate

Trip Advisor

When exploring a new town, it’s good to know the best places to eat and the most interesting attractions to see. I always turn to Trip Advisor for information. Here, you can find hotels, restaurants and attractions which are l【7】 together with other visitors’ ratings (等级) and comments. It makes it a lot easier to choose a good hotel.
