Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I’d been at the school for a hundred years!
The day started very early at 7:00 am.I had my breakfast downstairs with my mum. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mum kept asking me what was wrong. She told me l had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn't love me,Mum said she would send them her way for a good talking to, I couldn't stop laughing.
My mum dropped me off at the school gate about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.
I couldn't wait until tomorrow and thought that I was really going to enjoy my time at my new school. I only hoped that my new friends would feel the same way too.

22、 China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope(FAST)has detected a repeating fast radio burst(FRB)-mysterious radio signals from outer space-for the first time, Science and Technology Daily reported.
Scientists on the FAST project with the National Astronomical Observatories of China(NAOC)revealed the news last Wednesday. The FRB originated some three billion lightyears away from Earth. Other factors including aircraft and satellites have been dismissed and cross examination is being carried out, the scientists said.
FRB has since become one of the hottest topics in astronomy. It was not until 2007 when the first FRB was discovered by humans. Fewer than 100 FRBs have been detected internationally. There is still no reasonable explanation for the origin of FRB in the international scientific community at present. FRBs mostly only appear once, which makes them very hard to track.
The FRB detected by FAST's real-time detection terminal(终端), however, is one that has been observed before, said Zhang Xinxin, an assistant engineer with the NAOC. Known as FRB121102,it was first discovered in 2012 and found to repeat in 2015.Analysis of data later located the source of the signal coming from a dwarf galaxy(矮星系) three billion light years away. The first pulse from FRB121102 was spotted by FAST on Aug 30 2019.After this, the telescope recorded dozens of pulses from the FRB over the course of days. On Sept 3 2019 alone, more than 20 pulses were detected.
The number of mysterious bursts detected so far is too small to draw any conclusions, Zhang said. FAST, the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, has a certain edge in detecting repeated FRBs. This is because the 19-beam receiver installed on FAST, covering frequency ranges of 1.05-1.45 GHz, is very sensitive to radio signals, Zhang said.
【1】The whole text mainly gives us an introduction to________.
A.a brief introduction of FAST. B.a discovery of FAST
C.the validation of FAST D.the usage of FAST
【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.FRB121102 is the first fast radio burst that was discovered by humans.
B.The FRB detected by China's FAST this time has not been observed before.
C.FRBs mostly only appear once, which makes them very hard to track.
D.We can infer that billion-light year is a term of time in astronomy.
【3】Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope(FAST)/_______
A.is the world's largest radio telescope
B.has detected more than 100 FRBs
C.found reasonable explanation for the origin of FRB
D.has been installed with the 19-beam receiver
23、 A loving father lost much weight after being shamed into dieting when he became so fat that he couldn’t play with his young daughter. Chris Willis, 47, weighed 172 kg following a lifetime of fatty foods.
The dad cut out all the fatty foods that he had enjoyed, and began exercising. He now weighs 105 kg after losing 10 kg every month since July. Chris had to take long rests just to climb the stairs or walk more than a few yards, saying, “The hardest thing was seeing my little girl in the garden and not being able to join in because I was so unhealthy. But now I am making up for the lost time — we do so much together and it is just great.”
Before switching (转变) to a healthy lifestyle, Chris would have five slices of bread for breakfast as a midmorning meal before a full English breakfast. He would then have a sandwich, a large pack of crisps and a pasty for lunch before chewing a whole packet of biscuits in the afternoon. For dinner, Chris would demolish a chicken curry, and ice cream, and also four pints of beer before feeding on fatty snacks all evening.
Chris said, “At 13, I was 118 kg and I remember a teacher pointing this out to the whole school. From then on I was picked on and bullied (欺负). My weight went up and up. But I now have a newfound freedom. My family and friends have been so supportive and my wife and daughter are so pleased for me. In fact, it’s them that I did it for more than anyone else. The whole journey has been amazing and I am still shocked myself that I have managed to lose so much weight.” Chris is now aiming for a new target weight of 96 kg.
