More than 95 percent of people in the world have phones today, according to the United Nations. Phone calls and messages help us easily communicate with others. It means that we seldom write letters now. But a TV show, Letters Alive, is bringing back this old habit.
Letters Alive got its idea from a UK program with a similar name. Both shows invite famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or different competitions. Instead, it’s just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.
The letters were written by people from different times in history. For example, in one episode (集) they read a letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941. The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.
“Every letter opens another world for us,” according to Guan Zhengwen, the director of the TV show.” It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers.”
Since its first episode on the fifth of December, Letters Alive has been widely praised. Many audience(观众) members said that it has provided a breath of fresh air to today’s TV shows.
Apart from (除了......之外)Letters Alive, some other cultural TV shows have also been well received by Chinese audiences. They include Chinese Poetry Conference (《中国诗词大会》),a classical Chinese poetry competition, and Readers, a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote.
“This means that our audiences are not only looking for entertainment(娱乐) like gossip (八卦) and eye-catching games,” reported China Youth Daily.“Cultural values and true feelings are the keys to winning praise.”
【1】How often do people write letters now?
A. Sometimes. B. Hardly ever. C. Always. D. Seldom.
【2】When was the first episode of Letters Alive appeared on TV?
A. On Dec. 5th. B. On Dec. 15th. C. On Sep. 5th. D. On Sep. 15th.
【3】What is Guan Zhengwen?
A. A director. B. An actress. C. A host. D. A movie star.
【4】How many cultural TV shows are mentioned in the passage?
A. Two. B. Four. C. Three. D. Five.
【5】Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Phone calls and messages don’t help us easily make contact with others.
B. Letters Alive got its idea from a US program with a similar name.
C. Readers is a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote.
D. Our audiences are only looking for entertainment like gossip (八卦) and eye-catching game

A little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert,“I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,”she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed.“Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,”she said sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice said,“If wind can cross the desert, so can a river.”It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered,“that’s because the wind can fly, but I can’t.”
“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the wind, and it can take you across me,”said the desert.“Give up what I am now? No! No!”The little stream could not accept this idea.“The wind can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,”said the desert.“And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature (本性) never changes.”After hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the wind. It carried her to the next stage (阶段) of her life.
The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream.If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success,you should also change the you are.
【1】Did the little stream want to reach the ocean or the desert at last?
