I arrived at my mother’s home for our Saturday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt after quilt from the boxes， proudly showing me their beauties. I knew they were all made herself. She was preparing for a quilt show on TV. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes， I noticed something at the bottom of one box.I pulled it out. “What’s this?” I asked.

“Oh?” Mom said， “That’s Mama’s quilt.”

I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had made the pieces together.

“Grandmother made this?” I asked in surprise. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn’t look like any of the quilts she had made.

“Yes， right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes，” Mom said， “I’m still working on it. See， this is what I’ve done so far.”

I looked at it more closely. She had made a line straight(直的). At the center of the quilt， she had stitched a piece of cloth with these words： “My mother made many quilts. She didn’t get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”

“Oh， this is so nice， Mom.” I said. I was sure now that by completing my grandmother’s quilt， my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman， and continued with the loving hands of another.

24、When you want to go somewhere, you can easily find your way by using a map app on your smartphone. Your smartphone “knows” where you are and can tell you where to go.

This is possible with the help of satellite navigation（satnav）systems. A satnav system uses groups of satellites to find out where people are. It sends information to a receiver, such as a smartphone. The more satellites a system has, the more accurate（精确的）it is.

On June 23, the last satellite of China’s Beidou Navigation Satellite System was launched into space. Beidou, China’s own satnav system, was finally completed. It is one of four global navigation systems, along with US’s GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo.

On July 31, Beidou started providing full-scale global services（全面的全球服务）. More than 120 countries and regions（地区）are now using Beidou services.

Since 2000, China has launched 59 Beidou satellites. Beidou can be used in areas that include farming, public services and business. It has a positioning（定位）accuracy of under 10 meters.

Beidou also has a special messaging ability. It allows people to send text messages up to 1,200 Chinese characters in length when mobile phone services are interrupted（中断）by natural disasters.

It takes a long time to build our own satnav system. The hard work behind Beidou is hard to imagine. Although some countries looked down on us, we prefer to face difficulties and work harder than any other country. We win respect from our achievements and diligence. Scientists are always confident and patient to overcome any difficulty.

【1】What does a satnav system do?

A．It helps people plan trips.

B．It only works in China.

C．It will have more satellites in the future.

D．Its newest satellites are more accurate.

A．first

B．second

C．third

D．fourth

【4】What’s the best title for this passage?

A．Beidou is used in smartphone!

B．The hard work behind Beidou!

C．China’s Beidou is finally here!

D．Beidou’s special messaging ability!

25、Buying second-hand items is becoming more p【1】 these days. One million people are selling over 2 million second-hand items ranging from c【2】 and books to electronic devices on Xianyu every day, Xinhua reported.

People have made more money in r【3】 years and bought more things than they really r【4】 according to a speech given by Wei Ying, founder of the second-hand book-trading site Deja Vu. As more people turn to a s【5】 lifestyle, they are selling their used items for cheap. Shoppers are a【6】 to the low prices, as well as the fact that buying second-hand is good for the environment.

When Chen Junjun, 22, a college student in Shanghai, wants to buy books, she uses Deja Vu. She searches for the books she wants and adds them to her shopping cart, just like on any other shopping site. The difference is that the books are much cheaper— as much as 70 percent cheaper than new books. “Since I have limited spending money, it’s a perfect c【7】 for me,” Chen said.

Lots of people like Chen are buying second-hand books. Deja Vu has over 3 million users and sells about 20,000 second-hand books every day, Beijing Daily reported. It has also opened two brick-and-mortar (实体的) bookstores—one in Beijing, the other in Shanghai.

Besides lower prices, people can also find out-of-print (绝版的) books. Yan Minjun, 21, is a picky reader. She has bought many classic versions of books on Daja Vu, such as a copy of Pride and Prejudice that was published by People’s Literature Publishing House in 1993, “I looked for it a long time. Now I have it!” she said.
