Five years after they disappeared, lost jewels belonging to the wife of a US ambassador to the Netherlands were found.
Dawn Arnall had already received an insurance payout for her loss. However, the misplaced jewels had been found and held for safe keeping by a hotel she stayed in. Staff were unaware that the jewels were worth $ 9m.
The world is full of forgetful people. A man in the English town of Reading even left a sausage casserole in a bus. The dish ended up in the Lost Property Office until it was recovered by his mother, eager for her dinner.
A walker in the Lake District had his food in his mouth but ... , what about his teeth? After climbing a hill in 2007, David Packer stopped for a chocolate bar. He took his false teeth out, wrapped them up in a tissue and just forgot about them. It took more than a year for the walker to be reunited with them.
But if you find something and can't find the rightful owner, is it finders keepers? It depends on what's found and how, says John Spencer, professor of law at the University of Cambridge.

One retired high school teacher in Canada has a great surprise for his former students that is 20 years in the making.
In 1994, Bruce Farrer's ninth grade English class at Bert Fox Community High School in Saskatchewan, got a special task, reported the National Post. Farrer asked his students to write a 10-page letter to their future selves, which he then promised to mail to them 20 years later. Farrer kept his promise to those students, as well as other students he taught during his more than 40-year career.
Although Farrer retired in 2002, he took several boxes of the letters from his former students with him, and began the long and difficult process of tracking them down and mailing the letters.
One former student, Scott Fulton, became a teacher himself and even taught for a while at the high school he went to as a teenager, according to CBC News. He got his letter last week. "I was just feeling honored and grateful," Fulton said after receiving the handwritten letter.

"I think our society now is a society of non-commitment," Farrer said. " We say we're going to do something, whether it's in a marriage, or with our kids or maybe even with our organizations we join... I think it's important to have a sense of commitment, and maybe in a minor way, the kids see I value that. "

Many people think that if you're a Latino (美籍拉丁美洲人) then you're not an American. Some people assume that Latinos have green cards and that their English is not good. What they don't realize is that people are all the same.
I'm a Puerto Rican (波多黎各人). I had lived in Florida for nine years before my family moved to Ohio, where we have been living since then. When my mother and I went to school to enroll (注册), the secretary asked my mother for a green card. My mother told the lady she didn't have a green card because she's an American. The woman didn't believe her and started to argue. My mother had to homeschool my sister and me for a year. That we look like Hispanics doesn't mean we are not Americans. We have the right to a good education.
Things like that happen almost every day. For example, when I was walking through the mall, a lady selling books came up to me and started talking. I stood there, listening, but suddenly she stopped and said, "Oh, I'm sorry! Do you speak English?" In a clear voice, I said, "Yeah, aren't I speaking it now?" And then I walked away. Now I feel that every person believes I don't speak English and only know Spanish. The lady should have approached me differently. She should have said, "Hello, sir. How are you today?" or "Would you like to see what I'm selling?" instead of coming up to me and talking nonstop.
I want people to know that we are all the same. No matter what ethnic（种族的）group we come from or no
matter what background we have, we all have the right to be treated the same —with respect.
28. Why did the secretary ask the writer's mother for a green card?
A. Because she wanted to get a green card very much.
B. Because she didn't believe the writer's mother is an American.
C. Because the writer's mother homeschooled her children.
D. Because all Americans had to show their green cards at school.
29. What did the writer think the lady selling books should do to him?
A. Treat him like other Americans.
B. Talk to him in Spanish directly.
C. Come up to him and talk nonstop.
D. Avoid approaching and talking to him.
30. How does the writer present Latinos' situation in America?
A. By giving examples.
B. By making comparison.
C. By analyzing the reasons.
D. By reporting the results of surveys.
31. It can be concluded from the passage that in America Latin-Americans are .
A. well known
B. less educated
C. well respected
D. often misunderstood
D
When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor in October, 2014, he promised to end a controversial, citywide cell phone ban in public schools, which is not equally enforced(实施) in all schools. Now, under his leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban. It will be replaced by a policy that allows cell phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class.
Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says,“If we don't see it, we don't know about it.”That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones, as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets.
But at the 88 city schools with metal detectors, the ban has been strictly enforced. The detectors were installed to keep weapon out of schools, but the scanners can also detect cell phones. So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them.
The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban.Workers in vans (厢式货车) that resemble food tracks store teens' cell phones and other devices(设备) for a dollar a day.
Critics(批评家) of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency. They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory. Where the ban is enforced, it puts a dis- advantage on students who can't afford to pay to store their phones.
32. What did Bill de Blasio promise to do when he ran for the Mayor of New York?
A. To build more public schools in New York.
B. To make sure the students are equally treated.
C. To create more job opportunities for the citizens.
D. To allow students in New York to carry cell phones.
33. What is the teacher's attitude toward students bringing cell phones to school?
A. Tolerant.
B. Doubtful.
C. Concerned.
D. Supportive.
34. Why are detectors installed in the 88 city schools?
A. To prevent students carrying food to the school.
B. To keep thieves from stealing from the school.
C. To stop students carrying weapons to the school.
D. To monitor how students are behaving in school.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. How to make sure of the safety of the students in school.
B. How to get rid of discrimination among students.
C. The disadvantages of banning cell phones in schools.
D. Different opinions on how to use cell phones in schools.

The giant panda loves bamboo. An adult panda requires 12.5 kilograms of bamboo, which it 61 (hungry) pulls out with its powerful paws, to satisfy its daily needs.
Wild pandas live only in the high bamboo forests of southwest China. These mountain forests are cool and wet —just as pandas like them. In the summer, they may climb as high as 4 000 meters to help 62 (they) to bamboo growing at higher altitudes.
Frequently, pandas 63 (see) eating in a relaxed sitting position, with their back legs stretching out before them. Though they may appear inactive, they are in fact skilled tree-climbers and 64 (swim).
Giant pandas are unsociable. They have a highly developed sense of smell males use 65 (avoid) each other and to find females in the spring. After 66 five-month pregnancy, a female panda gives birth 67
a young one. The blind baby pandas weigh only about 142 grams and cannot crawl(爬行) 68 they reach three months of age. They are born white and develop their much loved coloring later.
There are only about 1 000 giant pandas 69 (leave) in the wild, with perhaps another 100 in zoos. Because they are so rare, much of 70 we know about pandas comes from studying these zoo animals.

第二节：One Possible Version
Dear Editor,
I'm Li Hua, a Senior 2 student from Yuxin High School in Fuzhou. Recently, when visiting your school website, I happened to find y ou’re collecting topics for English World. So interested in this activity am I that I’m writing to recommend my favorite topic — being thankful.
As we know, being thankful is one of the most important Chinese traditional virtues. In our daily life, we get much help from others, such as our parents, teachers, etc. We should be grateful to them. Actually, most students haven’t come to realize the importance of being thankful. Therefore, I think it' s necessary to educate students to be thankful.
I have been looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
