     Well done，Javier，on all your hard work this term.You are always active in speaking activities，and this is great.I always enjoy rending your writing，too.You have very good ideas.You can see from your marks that rending is not a problem for you.

• 2．    Colin and Donna Craig-Brown were working in their New Zealand garden in late August.They were removing unwanted plants when they found something strange.After a little digging，Colin discovered there was a very large potato growing in his garden.And they never planted potatoes!
     "We couldn't believe it， " Donna said. "It was just huge." The couple worked the potato out of the soil and brought it to a scale.It weighed almost 8 kilograms.
     The potato may be the largest ever recorded.In 2011，a large potato from Great Britain weighed just under 5 kilograms.The New Zealand potato，now named Doug，could break the record.The Craig-Browns asked Guinness （吉尼斯） to recognize their potato as the largest ever.They are waiting to hear from the organization.
     The potato has become famous in the town of Hamilton，Colin took Doug on walks round the neighborhood， "We put a hat on him.We put him on Facebook，taking him for a walk，giving him some sunshine，" Colin said. "It's all a bit of fun."
     Colin said he does not have any special gardening methods to pass on.Normally，he and his wife fertilize （施肥） their garden with waste from cows and dried grasses.The Craig-Browns were growing cucumbers （黃瓜） in that part of the garden，so they didn't expect there was a potato.It may have been growing for two years or more.
     The potato is getting a little old now，two months after it was taken from the ground.
     Right now，it is in the freezer.

• 3．    At the beginning of the 21st century China had no high-speed railways.Traveling on trains in China was slow and uncomfortable.With low average speeds，it would take a long time to travel between major cities like Shanghai and Beijing.
     Today，China already has the world's largest network of high-speed railways.No fewer than 37，900 kilometers（about 23，500 miles） of lines cross the country，linking all of its major mega-city clusters（特大城市群），and all have been completed since 2008，with a further 3，700 kilometers due to open in the coming months of 2021.The network is expected to double in length again，to 70，000 kilometers，by 2035.
     With trains reaching speeds of up to 350 kph on many lines，intercity travel has been changed and the control of airlines has been broken on the busiest routes.By 2020，75% of Chinese cities with a population of 500，000 or more had a high-speed rail link.
     In comparison，Spain has about 3，218 kilometers of high-speed rail lines built for operation at over 250 kph.At the same time，the UK currently has just 107 kilometers while the United States has a 735.5 kilometers railway line connecting highly developed areas.
     As China seeks to grow its influence across Asia and into Europe and Africa through the significant "Belt and Road Initiative（一帶一路倡議）"，rail is playing a key part in creating the new "Silk Road" it desires.
     Although its trains are now among the fastest in the world，China is also spending significant funds on the development of maglev（磁懸?。?technology，which will allow it to operate passenger services at up to 620 kph -well beyond the current limits of steel wheel on steel rails.
  
  （1）How was China's railway system at the beginning of the 21st century？

  
  A．It was the world's largest.
  B．It covered its major cities.
  C．It was fast and comfortable.
  D．It was slow and uncomfortable.
  （2）What was the length of China's high-speed railway network in 2021？

  
  A．About 3，700 kilometers.
  B．About 37，900 kilometers.
  C．About 41，600 kilometers.
  D．About 70，000 kilometers.
  （3）Which country has the second largest high-speed railway network？

  
  A．China.
  B．Spain.
  C．The United Kingdom.
  D．The United States.
  （4）Why is China spending significant funds on maglev technology？

  
  A．Because it is much cheaper.
  B．Because it is more environmentally friendly.
  C．Because it is already widely used in other countries.
  D．Because it can break through the current speed limit.

      This time，in my defense（辯解），I must add that we had just moved to Italy and were still unready.While Susan was away on business，I continued working on the house and cared for Molly，Susan's beloved cat.I kept Molly indoors most of the time and planned to introduce her to the outdoors slowly.But Molly obviously had other ideas.One day she rushed out and was gone.She wasn't familiar with the new place，which worried me.
      Northern Italy is reasonably warm，so she wouldn't feel very cold，But she might have to handle other feral（野生的） cats.Our holidays would be affected if Molly wasn't back before Christmas.Therefore，I made a poster with some words of Molly，a hurried drawing and a promised payback.Soon people visited me with many kinds of feral cats because of my unclear drawing or the reward（報(bào)酬）I offered.I could never turn away a hungry animal.So many cats moved into our yard soon.
