Dear Dillon,

Someone told me that you like watching me play golf. Thank you for that and I want to share my story with you.

Believe it or not, I also stuttered when I was young. So I knew what it’s like to be different from others. I was disappointed at that time, but I didn’t give up. I used to talk to my dog and he would sit there and listen to me until he fell asleep. I also took a class for two years to help myself, and I finally stopped stuttering. Maybe you can have a try.

You have a great family, and big fans like me on your side. Be well and keep fighting. I'm sure you'll be great at anything you do.

Sincerely yours,

Tiger Woods

Nowadays there are more and more western restaurants in our country. We Chinese seem to have little trouble using forks. But have you seen an American who can use chopsticks easily? One thing is clear: most of Westerners find it hard to use chopsticks, although they are curious (好奇的) about Chinese food. Now, thanks to a new invention, it may no longer be a problem.

A company in America wanted to help people who hoped to pick up Chinese food in an easier way. They found that when a pair of chopsticks and a fork work in pairs, they work better. For this reason, they invented the “chork”，a combination (结合) of chopsticks and a fork.

“It's a perfect solution for Americans who start their meal with chopsticks,” says the manager of the company. Many Americans agree. “This could possibly be the greatest invention of the 21st century.”

There’s no place like home

Some people dream of having a home ‘just like the ones in decorating magazines’. That sort of beautifully stylish home may be n【1】, but for a truly special place to live, why not choose a home unlike any other in the neighbourhood? The unique(独一无二的) houses on these pages challenge people to reconsider what a home is s【2】 to look like.

Environmentally friendly homes are getting a lot of a【3】 these days. Earthships, for example, are unusual homes made from materials like mud, straw and reused wood. The designers of earthships combine these natural materials with recycled i【4】, such as bottles, cans and old tyres. These homes show their belief that, when it comes to saving the environment, ‘if you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.’

Additionally many of these homes use wind or solar power. They are designed to collect and recycle water, and the people who live in them often add a greenhouse in which to grow food. As a result, if you live in an earthship, your monthly living costs will d【5】 to almost zero. For people who want to try one out, the Phoenix Earthship in the US is available as holiday accommodation(住宿).

Shipping containers are now being reused to make a【6】 type of environmentally friendly home. A number of architects have started changing individual containers into holiday homes. Alternatively they can be combined to make office blocks and blocks of flats, such as those Container City in London, England.

With all of the examples of imaginative homes, it is clear that people no longer need to settle for ordinary living spaces. One thing is sure: people living in homes that look as s【7】 as these never have to give anyone their address. They can just say, ‘Look for the weird house. You will know it when you see it.’

29、   Several days ago, some students from the US visited our school. When we talked, I discovered _______ differences in school life between the US and China.

Besides, although most schools in both countries finish their _______ classes at 12 o’clock, the students in the US only have an hour-long break, so they _______ eat lunch quickly.
