All over the world, barbershops not only fuel their local economies, but also bring people together. So when the COVID-19 broke out three years ago and the community fell on hard times, Chris Bossio knew just what to do. Chris opened a barbershop called Headlines, where people could come together for a hair cut, having some conversations meanwhile.
Later, Chris volunteered his free time to teach other barbers new techniques.
Impressed by his down-to-earth, easy-to-understand lessons, one of his business partners convinced him to upload them on Tiktok (抖音).
That was when things really took off. The videos earned him a large number of subscribers and as Chris kept creating more, he saw his subscribers turn into clients. The freshmen in the line flooded in to exchange professional opinions and sharpen the skills, while residents from the community came for a moment of peace, hence building a deeper bond.
Business was booming but Chris didn’t stop here.
When he started Headlines, his initial goal was just to open five barbershops within five years. But as time went by, he was determined to share his success, focusing most of his time on empowering barbers. He held workshops where he trained barbers on not only the business of barbering, but also how to establish their brands. Once, his workshop attracted over 300 attendees. Many of his students have become successful barbers themselves, including about 40 who have opened their own shops in the area. “These shops serve as places where community cultures really come together and come to life, ” he said. It was a dream come true for Chris.
He also saw opportunities popping up as his channel grew. He started making a shaving gel (凝胶). It was another huge hit. He immediately launched a production line, creating a

certain number of jobs in the community. Though the economy was in decline, he could sell10, 000 products per month in 15 countries.

New words emerge in English all the time. In fact, in recent years more new words and phrases are entering the language than ever before, partly due to the increased willingness of lexicographers (词典编纂者) to include them in the dictionaries.
John Algeo who studies the history of language says, “As our culture changes, the language changes. American culture is going through a time of rapid change.”
Technology is moving fast, which has a big effect on language. The computer world produces hundreds of new words. New terms also come from business, medicine, and other

fields.
Many new English words come from other languages. David Jost helps create the American Heritage Dictionary. “We constantly borrow words from other cultures,” he says. “This will go on forever in cultures.”
“People in many parts of the world speak English now. That is another reason why so many new words are entering the language,” says Algeo.
The American Dialect Society has a contest each year. The society selects a “new word of the year”, which gains high level of popularity on media for some days. Last year the winner was “information superhighway”, referring to a whole set of electronic network of information and people getting access to this network by computer.
New words often come in several forms, such as the back-formation (like enthuse from enthusiasm), the clipping (like zoo from zoological garden), and the compounding, etc. Over time, one form tends to win out. Take the compounding for instance. “Domestic partners” has been growing popular lately, even though many terms have been used to describe couples who live together but are not married.
“A new word rarely can be traced to one source,” says Algeo. “Several people fend to create a new word when a need for one exists.”
“Most new words have a limited life ‘span’,” say language experts. Only a few will survive through the next 100 years.
8．What might have least effect on English language? A．Culture. B．Technology. C．Other languages. D．Language contests.
9．What does the writer want to demonstrate by mentioning “domestic partners”? A．It is a compounding word.
B．New words often come in several forms. C．Over time, one form tends to win out. D．A new word rarely can be traced to one source. 10．What can we learn from the passage? A．New words occur all of a sudden. B．New words will become old or extinct.

A．New Words Developing Naturally B．English Language Changing Rapidly C．English Vocabulary in a State of Development D．New Words Influencing English Language
A city in Denmark is about to become the first in the world to provide most of its citizens with fresh water using only the energy created from household wastewater.
The Marselisborg Wastewater Treatment Plant (MWTP) in Aarhus has undergone improvements that mean it can now produce more than 150 percent of the electricity needed to run the plant. The extra power can be used to pump drinking water around the city. As well as regularly powering the entire water system of 200, 000 people living in the inner city area, any unwanted electricity could be sold into the local power network.
The plant produces energy from the biogas which creates out of household wastewater. Carbon is removed from the wastewater and pumped into digesters (沼气池) kept at 38℃ filled with bacteria. These produce biogas — mostly methane — that is then burned to make heat and electricity.
Upgrading the facilities in Marselisborg required nearly €3 million, but Aarhus Water expects that to be recovered in just five years. Other cities in Denmark, including Copenhagen, have been trying to copy the example of Aarhus.
When talking about copying Denmark’s experience, Molly Walton, energy analyst at International Energy Agency, says, scientists and engineers would firstly have to improve energy efficiency; and it requires an enormous amount of money that could considerably increase the price of the water. Moreover, to work, the wastewater plant needs to be big enough to produce enough biogas, and even the wastewater has to be the right-mix. If it’s watered down by much storm or groundwater, it will be almost impossible to recover energy, Walton says.
With rising global temperatures, more energy will be needed to provide fresh water from other sources such as seawater. The city’s action may not solve the problems, but it is a big step in the right direction.

12．What can we learn about the city Aarhus? A．Aarhus can sell green energy to Denmark. B．The plant in Aarhus can produce extra power. C．The plant in Aarhus makes good use of carbon.
D．Aarhus is the first city to benefit from household wastewater. 13．Why is it difficult to practise the way of MWTP? A．The global temperature is rising. B．Energy efficiency needs improving. C．The plant is too big to produce biogas. D．MWTP requires demanding conditions.
14．What is Molly Walton’s attitude towards copying Denmark’s example? A．Doubtful. B．Negative. C．Uninterested. D．Positive.
15．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Copying the example of Aarhus cost a lot. B．MWTP has improved the processing of biogas. C．A plant in Aarhus turns wastewater into energy. D．The water service in Aarhus needs more energy.

His doctor suggester that he stay at home until he got his new ones. However, Mark insisted on attending his first day of school So if you want to communicate with him, you have to write your words on a piece of paper. ”

Ms. Green calmed everyone down. “I’d like someone to personally help him out throughout the day. Do I have any volunteers?”
“How can a disabled person be intelligent?” I thought to myself. I refused to raise my hand, expecting someone else. would. But nobody did or said anything. Dead silence spread across the classroom.
