W: Mr Smith, tell us something about new york, such as the weather. You have lived in new york for many years. Do you like the weather here?

M: new york is a great city, undoubtedly the most interesting city in the world today, but I'm afraid the weather there is not very good.

Mr Smith, is it very cold in new york?

M: Sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's warm. On some days in winter, it seems that there is no colder place in the world, because the air is always wet.

W: it's very hot in summer?

Very hot. This is a big city, and there is almost no wind. The air in summer is usually wet and heavy.

W: But why do so many people live there?

M: Most people are used to the weather here, but many people have been complaining.

W: Is the weather always unpleasant?

Oh, no. On the contrary, there are many beautiful days in new york, especially in spring and autumn. The sun shines; The sky is clear and blue; People walk along the street or sit in the park in the sun. I think what's really unpleasant is that the weather in new york often changes, and it changes so suddenly. One day it was warm, and the next day it was cold. One day it rained, and the next day it was sunny. There is a story that when a visitor to new york complains about the weather, people in new york always reply, "Don't you like our weather? Then wait a minute! It will change. "

W: Welcome to this program. This afternoon, Lena Sanger and I stood in the middle of the northern black forest.

Good afternoon, Sarah.

W: Rainer, you are very concerned about this forest, aren't you? Can you tell us why?

M: Well, as you can see, that terrible storm last winter destroyed most of the forests. Many trees died, and more trees died because of destruction. We believe that the government has not taken enough measures to restore this beautiful forest to its original state.

W: I see. But have you talked to the government about this?

M: We tried. Every time they said they didn't have enough money, we ran away. They always use money as an excuse. It's getting disappointing!

W: But it's not just an excuse, is it? Obviously, they don't have enough money to do everything, and this storm is an accident.

M: Of course, we appreciate it. The key point is that we didn't actually ask for too much money. We just need their guidance-we can provide volunteers to work in the forest.

Yes, it is quite far. And not in Asia, all African countries.

W: Oh, yes. I have not only heard of the pyramids, but also the Aswan Dam. do you want to see it ?

M: Of course. I will go there by boat on the Nile.

W: That will be very exciting and interesting. How will you get there?

M: By plane-by flight CA808! My sister is studying it! Then I will be treated like a king!

W: Don't be too proud. I'm going to go now. I hope you have a good trip.

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean that. I don't want to hurt you. ...

Lifelong reading, lifelong reading. No invention can provide so much food for our spirit and provide such infinite rewards for the time we spend like a good book. Read as much as you like. Let one book lead to another. They almost always do.

Find a great writer and read everything he or she writes. Read about places you've never been: sailing along the Mississippi River with Huckleberry Finn, or strolling the streets of St. Petersburg with anna karenine. Read books that changed history: Common Sense by Tom Paine, Uncle Tom's Cabin by harriet stowe and Silent Spring by rachel carson.

Read books that you know you should have read and imagined as boring. A classic can be defined as a book: it endures, and a book endures only because of its Excellence. Why do you want to exclude the excellent from your experience? When you read a book you like-a book that you feel has expanded your life experience, a book that "lights a flame"-then spread the world.

No matter where you go, you should take a book with you. This is old advice and good advice. John adams urged his son John Quincy to take a book of poems with him. "You will never be lonely," he said, "with a poet in your pocket".

Dear Roy:

I am very glad to receive your letter, and I feel very honored to give you a brief introduction of the direct flights between Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province. Sixty years ago, Taiwan Province banned regular contacts between the two sides. But last July, we started the weekend charter flight. Now, the two sides even begin to enjoy direct flights every day, sometimes reaching 60 times a month. At the beginning of the first week of direct flights, 12 airlines on both sides of the strait applied for the flight 10 1 to provide services between four cities in Taiwan Province and 12 mainland cities.

Initially, passenger planes had to fly southward via Hong Kong, while cargo ships had to bypass the Japanese island of Okinawa, north of Taiwan Province. Now, flights and cargo ships from Taipei and other major cities can directly reach more than 10 cities in mainland China such as Shanghai, with shorter time and greatly reduced transportation costs.

I believe that direct flights have opened up a new era of direct services and brought new vitality to cross-strait economic and trade relations.

This is what I can tell you at present. Maybe I will give you more information soon.

Yours,

Li Ming
