2. school clubs or extra-curricular activities in NFLS;
3. your favourite club or activity and the reason why you like it.
Hi Alison,
How are things going? Hope you’re well. ______________________________________________________
A boy named Reggie was well-known in his hometown because he couldn’t hear anything. He was b1. deaf (聋的). Although people liked him a lot, they treated him much differently than other people. The other children w2. that they might hurt him while playing together. Adults (成年人) acted like he could not understand them, as if he was a baby.
However, this year, people got to understand Reggie a l3. better. On Reggie’s birthday, everyone in town would wear earplugs (耳塞) so that they couldn’t hear a4. either. This day came to be known as the Day of Silence. People got to know how difficult l5. could be when you can’t hear anything. They a6. learned that Reggie had some amazing skills.
On that day, no one thought of Reggie as just a deaf person. People saw a whole new side of him. They paid more attention to the things he said. They were s7. by his intelligence and his ability to find a solution to nearly any problem that he had. They r8. that he had always been like that and that he simply needed to c9. with others in a different way. In the end, he was really just like any other little boy.
On the Day of Silence, people came to know Reggie’s true nature. They learned that although most of us are different, we are still mostly the same in our h10. and minds. So we need to care for each other.
There are purple clothes, purple handbags, purple bicycles, purple furniture, even purple computers! Purple is very popular today. But a long time ago, purple was a very expensive and unusual color. Let’s take a look at the rich history of the color purple.
Some scientists believe that the first plants to appear on Earth over 500 million years ago probably looked purple, not green. Plants today are green because they use green chlorophyll (叶绿素) to produce energy. But these early plants probably used something called retinal, which is a dark purple color.
During the time of the Roman Empire (37 BC-476 AD), it was very difficult to make purple dye (染料). The dye came from sea snail (海螺). But 10,000 dead sea snails got you just one gram of purple dye... as well as a very bad smell! This special purple dye… was called Tyrian purple, and it was the preferred colour of emperors (皇帝).
In 16th-century England, purple was only for the king’s family members. Queen Elizabeth I’s clothes were purple, but common people were not allowed (允许) to wear the color.
In 1856, William Perkin, an 18-year-old science student, noticed something strange while doing an experiment (实验). The chemicals he used to clean his instruments mixed with the chemicals he used in his experiment and produced a bright purple color. This discovery led Perkin to start a company using this chemical mixture to make purple dye. The dye was not expensive. Thanks to Perkin, now anyone can afford to wear purple.
