While you are walking on the street, you will notice more and more new energy vehicles(NEVs)( 新能源车) running on the roads. Many famous Chinese car makers have developed NEVs, such as BYD, Geely, Wuling and so on. In 2022, a total of 688.7 million new energy vehicles were sold in Chinese market. Why has NEV market had such a rapid growth in last few years The main reason is that the buying of NEVs has been greatly supported by the local government, which has continued to reduce taxes(税) for NEVs these years. Besides, Chinese banks have offered a lot of policies to attract people to buy NEVs. For example, many banks have announced new loan(借贷) policies(政策) to allow NEVs buyers to borrow a larger part of the buying price.
When compared with patrol cars(燃油车), NEVs’ structure(结构) is much simpler. It can save a lot of cost in the daily maintenance(维修) of NEVs. Another advantage is the environment friendly, NEVs make fewer noises and less vibration(振动), which can make drivers have more comfortable driving experience. However, we have to admit there are still some problems with NEVs. For example, there are not enough charging piles(充电桩) and they need much time to charge(充电). The good news is that these problems are actually being improved, most of car owners in China said their next car will be an NEV, having a better driving experience and lower cost as the top reasons.
141．Thanks to Chinese government, the buying of NEVs has greatly reduced.
142．The structure of NEVs is simpler than patrol cars.
143．Buyers need spend a lot of money on the maintenance of NEVs.
144．There isn’t any disadvantage of NEVs.

But there are more serious problems in big cities, too. The cost of living is high and there are too many people in big cities.

Introduction
The Xinghua School Reading Club was five years old last month so we decided to make a survey to find out what students think about it. We are sorry to report that membership of our club has fallen in recent years. As Picture 1 shows, only 85 students are members this year.
More findings
We talked to students from Grade 1 to Grade 3 to try to find out why they did not want to join the Reading Club. They gave many different answers, but as Picture 2 shows, the most common reason was that they were not interested in books.
16% of students said they were not interested in the activities of our Reading Club, so we asked students which activities they enjoyed during last year’s Reading Week. These results are shown in Picture 3.
It was clear from these results that the booklover competition was very popular. One student said that we should have a book test with teams from each class. The winning team could compete against teams from other schools. Some students said that they prefer reading books that have been made into movies, such as Harry Potter.
Suggestions
We should try to increase the membership of Xinghua School Reading Club. We can do this by organizing more fun activities, such as competitions. We also raise students’ interest in reading by sharing books that are also movies. We should also make sure that our activities do not influence those of other school clubs and teams.

There are house masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.
What to wear
Nearly all the students in boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.
In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or bread.

I asked my dad if I’d ever made him cry before because I couldn’t remember ever seeing him cry. “There was once,” he said.
He told me that when I was 1 year old, he put a pen, a piece of paper money, and a toy in front of me. He wanted to see which one I would pick.

My father was just doing it out of curiosity (好奇). It was interesting for him to see which one I’d pick anyway. He said that I just sat there and stared at the three things. He sat across from me and waited to see the result.
According to him, I moved toward him and he held his breath. Then I pushed everything aside and went right into his arms. He didn’t realize that he was one of the choices.

Mr. and Mrs. Gordon were sitting on the sand, reading their magazines. Mr. Gordon was too stingy (吝啬的) to rent a chair. Their twelve-year-old daughter, Sandra, was playing at the water’s edge. Suddenly a huge wave lifted Sandra up and carried her out to sea. Luckily, a lifeguard was on duty and he saw the wave carry Sandra away. He ran along the beach and dived into the sea. He swam quickly to where the girl was. With her head only just above the water, she was shouting for help. The girl was very frightened. When the lifeguard reached her, she struggled with him, as drowning (即将淹死的) people often do. However, he was a skillful lifeguard and quickly took hold of her and swam with her back to the beach.

Kelly’s favorite subject is P. E. But she had a hard time in P. E. class. She was not good at jumping very far, she had trouble throwing a ball, and she couldn’t run really fast. Sometimes, some kids made fun of (取笑) her. So why does Kelly love P. E. class
The reason is that her teacher Mr. Burns always tells her to insist and keep running. Though she only ran for a few minutes, Mr. Burns said, “Good job! Keep going! Next time you will be able to go a little longer.” Mr. Burns even put a small box on the floor, so Kelly would be able to practice jumping over it.

I hired a man to repair my old farmhouse. He met many difficulties on his first day on the job. A flat tire (漏气的车胎) made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw (电锯) didn’t work, and now his old truck refused to start.
While I drove him home, he sat in silence. When we arrived, he invited me to meet the family. As we walked towards the front door, he stopped at a small tree, touching the branches with both hands.

Plunk! I dropped another pecan (山核桃) into my basket. Then a gentle autumn wind blew some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up. Whew! Pecan picking was hard. My basket was only half full.
I was visiting my grandpa’s farm in Kansas, and Grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later. I wasn’t about to let him down.
Then something caught my eye: a squirrel picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbed down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he took the pecan back to his secret hiding place inside the hollow (洞) of the tree.
Not so secret anymore, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hollow was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full!
