To the Editor，
I am writing as a member of One﹣on﹣One，the sixth﹣grade mentoring （指导） group．Our group is two years old and made up of 14 students．Our task is to help students reach their goals through mentoring．We hope the readers of this school newspaper will join our group． This is my first year as a mentor，but I have already learned that everyone taking part in mentoring gets something out of it．
I was assigned （分配） to a mentor last year． Mentoring was one of the best things that happened to me． I was able to turn the corner at an important point in my studies， going from nearly failing math to passing it． It still amazes me that I completely changed from almost hating math to loving it! Would you believe I'm even thinking of studying math in college？ Even if I don't， I have skills that I will use for the rest of my life． My own experience made me feel certain of becoming a mentor this year and helping other students like myself． Now that I am a mentor， I realize what a good feeling you get from helping someone else and knowing that you' re making a difference in his or her life．In many situations，lasting friendships are made as well． My mentor and I hit it off right away．And we're still good friends today．
Becoming a mentor is a serious commitment（承诺）．Mentors spend one hour every week with the student they are mentoring．Considering your responsibilities，it may be difficult to add another commitment to your schedule．But I hope you will at least consider the possibility．
Thank you for considering our invitation． We look forward to hearing from you．
Sincerely，
Mark Lopez

Paper is among the four great inventions in ancient China． The famous xuan paper appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties． In Xuanzhou， Anhui Province where the xuan paper is produced，it's said that Cai Lun's pupil Kong Dan took the job of producing paper but failed to make perfect white paper． Later he happened to see the ebony （檀木） in the rivers． It was wet with the water and turned white． Then he used the bark （树皮） to produce the world﹣famous xuan paper．

On winter nights， the wind usually blows strongly． Most of us stay inside our warm homes． Few of us think about the homeless． These people have no choice but to sleep on the streets．Some of them are so poor that they have no money to buy food．

The man said，"I wear the Spider﹣Man suit in order to get attention．"Without the suit，few people took a second look at him when he was handing out food．When people see the "Spider﹣Stan"，however，they come over and ask what he is doing．
"The Birmingham Spider﹣Man" has already got lots of attention．Many people have offered to give away money to him． But the young man never accepts the money． Instead， he encourages people to go out and help people in need on their own． He said， "If more people offer a helping hand， the cold winter nights won't be so cold any longer．"

But one day， without any warning， Sam died of a heart attack （心脏病突发） at the animal hospital and I had to walk back to our house alone． This time，there was no Sam for Katty to greet and no way for me to explain why she would never see her friend again．
In the days that followed， Katty seemed heartbroken． She could not tell me in words how she felt， but I could see the pain and disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door and the hope whenever she heard a dog bark．
As the weeks went by，the cat seemed to feel much better．One day as I walked into our living room，I happened to have a look at the floor next to our sofa where we had a statue （塑像） of Sam that we had bought a few years before． Lying next to it， one arm around the statue's neck， was Katty， happily sleeping with her best friend．

For years， it has been said that newspapers are at death's door．Every year brings more news of closing．But why is the situation so terrible for newspapers？
Newspapers have a long history． The first newspaper was printed in the 1600s． Their most successful period is in the early 20th century．
With the appearance of radio and TV， however， newspaper circulation （发行量） began to fall．（3）By the mid﹣20th century，radio and TV had become so popular that people no longer had to depend on newspapers for news． That was especially true for breaking （突发的） news．
Afternoon newspapers were the first to suffer （受损害）． After work， more and more people turned on TV instead of opening a newspaper． That was because TV could provide news happening a short time ago． It's true that newspapers couldn't compete with TV on speed， but they could provide in﹣depth （深入详尽的） reports that TV news could not．
But newspapers suffered another， heavier blow （打击） in the 1990s． With the appearance of the Internet， tons of information became free． Many newspaper readers realized that they could read news on the Internet． There seemed to be little reason to pay for a newspaper subscription （订阅）．
So what does the future hold？ Will newspapers die？ Maybe not． Many newspapers are now making changes． Some are going digital （数字的）． Some are going farther and taking the industry to places it has never been to． After all， people still want the news． And many agree that newspapers are still an important source （来源） of in﹣depth news， analysis （分析） and opinions．
（4）If newspapers disappear completely．there will be nothing to take their place．
A．根据短文内容简要回答问题．
（1）What made the newspaper circulation fall？
（2）Will newspapers disappear？ Why or why not？（选择一种情况作答）

Paying for bus rides with plastic usually makes people think of plastic bus cards．But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in place of money for city buses．
Surabaya， Indonesia's second largest city， located on the eastern end of the country′s main island Java， made this decision in April 2018．Now，locals can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus．A two﹣hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．
Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter， producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report．Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day．The head of Surabaya's transportation department（交通部门） said，"With this decision， we hope to raise public awareness about environment， especially people's awareness about plastic waste．"
Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day．The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city．This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure．
The decision is part of the city's purpose to become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．In order to encourage local people to take buses，the city also added the new Suroboyo buses．The new buses are air﹣conditioned，comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off．
The program is well received．People in Surabaya said，"We can reduce waste so it doesn't pile up at home because we can just bring it in and make good use of it． It is a win﹣win situation．"
This type of program can be a model for other cities worldwide and encourage citizens to recycle their plastic waste．
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过六个词．
（1）Instead of money， how can locals in Surabaya pay for bus rides now？
（2）How much plastic waste does a two﹣hour bus ride cost？
（3）How much plastic waste is produced in Surabaya every day？
（4）What is the purpose of the new program？
（5）What do local people think of the new program？
Hi， Tom，
Thanks for your message and I am glad that you wrote to me for ideas．
I remember when I was learning English， I felt uncomfortable about speaking． I could remember lots of words and knew grammar rules， but speaking was difficult． I now feel a lot more confident about speaking， so here are some ideas that I have taken from my own experience．
Don' t worry about making mistakes．Other people will still know your meaning and they probably won't notice your mistakes．
Use every chance you get to speak． For example，it's a good idea to use only English in class and not to speak to your classmates in your own language． At home， you should also try practicing new words and grammar learnt in class．
Think about extra speaking practice outside the classroom． You can join a conversation group，such as the chat groups in the study centre． They are free to join．
Practice speaking online． There are lots of websites where you can communicate with someone from all around the world．
I hope this helps you and please come to me if you have other problems．
Best wishes，
Eliza
