Dear Mike,

How are things going with you? In your last email, you asked me how to get permission (许可) from your parents more (easy). Here is some advice.

(one) of all, be clear about what you're asking for. The more specific (具体的) you are, the easier it will be your parents to understand and decide what they can do for you.

Secondly, could you please be polite understanding? Of course. Remember, you're asking for (they) help, and they may have their own work and worries. So try (make) your needs as easy as possible.

Thirdly, always be (thank) and keep your promises. If they agree to help you, thank them and offer to do (anything) in return. This will help build good relationship.

If you follow my advice, (ask) for permission won't be so difficult.

Yours,

Tyler

How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a5 telephone to give my friend Danny a ring. So I asked an old man, "I want to give my friend a ring. Could you help me?" "Well, that's6 ," he answered in surprise. "You look very7 . Are you getting married?" "Oh, No," I replied . "I just want to give a ring to tell him I've arrived. Could you tell me8 there's a phone box near here?" "Oh! Sorry," he said, "there's a phone downstairs."

When we met up, Danny9 the misunderstanding to me. "Don't worry! I met such problems at first. There are lots of words which the Americans10 differently in meaning from English people. But most of the time the English and American people understand each other well! You'll   soon got used to all the funny things they say."

They are responsible for checking and fixing a 220kV transmission line (输电线) crossing this desert, also known as the "Sea of Death". "We need to cross the desert once a month to check the 729 transmission towers in order to ensure the power supply (供电) for counties and villages along the Taklimakan. The work is challenging, yet meaningful," Ehemat Tohti said.

In the fall, at noon, the desert's surface is still hot, while the temperature between morning and evening has changed greatly. "Now the temperature difference between morning and evening is about 20℃. It was cold when we set off. As we went further, the temperature grew, only to fall down again in the evening. So it's necessary to take both heavy and light clothing," he said.

Since most of the route was impossible to reach by car, they needed to travel by motorcycle and on foot for their work. Walking through the desert was difficult. "The harsh environment is not only unbearable for people, but also can easily cause breakdowns of their motorcycles. Moreover, the hidden roots of red willow and Populus euphratica trees, buried under the sand, often puncture the tires, making an unseen danger," he said.

"The desert is beautiful, but it's also unpredictable. So you don't know what you're going to meet," he added. They face lots of challenges during their patrols, including floods, swamps, and meeting wild animals such as boars and foxes.

Luckily, in 2022, drones (无人机) came to help their patrol work. "Human workers can patrol up to about 20 power towers a day, but with the help of drones, we can cover nearly 100 towers." Ehemat Tohti also said that he didn't plan to retire. "I want to share my experience and skills with more people and keep learning more knowledge."

In the 2018 research, the top 5 cities are New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. Beijing gets the 9th place. All these cities do better in some indexes. For example, Beijing's strength is business while Tokyo's strength is people. New York, London, and Paris are strong in all four fields, so they are at the top.

Which city will become more powerful (有影响力的) in the future? In Asia, Beijing and Shanghai are both business centers and will keep growing. India cities such as Mumbai and New Delhi have a lot of chance because of business, too. In South America, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Buenos Aires in Argentina are growing and will play a big part in improving (改善) people's lives. In the Middle East, Cairo in Egypt and Dubai will have more power in international politics (政治) and business—especially in helping East and West work together.

In 10 years,      ★     , but one thing is the same: With over 50 percent of the world's people now living in cities, tomorrow's big cities will be more powerful than ever.

Frank is a very talkative little boy. He never sees a1 thing without asking a great many questions about it. "What is it, Mum?", he always asks and his mother is very patient (耐心的).

Sometimes she says, "You are not2 enough (足够) to understand that, my son." When his mother says this, he will wait. He knows she always likes to3 him when he asks the questions at the right time.

The first time Frank sees an hourglass, he asks the same question as usual. His mom says, "An hourglass4 like the number 8. Sand (沙) goes in one end and falls through a small hole (洞) in the5. It has just enough sand to fall through in one6."

Frank looks at it. He is impatient because it doesn't fall7. "Let me help it, mother," he says, "It's lazy (懒惰的) , and will never get through."

"Oh yes, it will, my son," says his mother, "The sand moves little by little, but it moves all the time. When you look at the hands of the clock, you8 they go very slowly, and so they do; but they never9. The hour hand of the clock can move all around its great10 twice in a day. This is because they keep working every minute. So does the sand. While you' re playing, the sand is11 ."

Now, Frank's mom wants him to learn an easy song, but he says, "Mom, I can't ever learn it." His mom says, "Study all the time. Never stop to ask12 it will take to learn. You'll be able to13 it very soon."

Frank chooses to14 his mom's words. In the next two hours, he is15 studying line by line. And soon he knows the song perfectly.
