Aunt Cathy is ninety-one years old with good manners. That is why she sent me the letter. She also has wonderful hand writing. Each letter and word is perfect. It is a pleasure to read her letter. Aunt Cathy received education many years ago. At that time, handwriting was considered an important skill. Now, it is the age of e-mail and social media. Few people have the time or need to practice their handwriting or write letters by hand.This is unfortunate. In my opinion, good hand writing is still important. This is especially true in school if you want to get good grades on your writing, neatness will be important, your writing maybe full of good ideas. However, bad handwriting can turn an A into a B or even a D !Good handwriting has other benefits, too. Since it is a skill, it trains your brain and develops your learning abilities.

Believe it or not, slow process of pushing a pen along paper improves your reading, spelling and even your pronunciation of English.In addition to all these educational benefits, good handwriting also has personal benefits. A well-written letter to a friend is something he or she will keep forever. A letter that looks like a chicken dances across the paper will be quickly thrown away.

That is about 30% of the yearly food supply （供应）.It is a sad fact especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all every day, she came up with an idea. She started a project to help her school dining hall to give away uneaten food to homeless shelters （庇护所）in her community. In the past three years, the same project has spread to other schools and some fast food restaurants throughout the city. The project is called Feed& find, and has already fed thousands of people in her city.How does it work? Through an app, Feed& Find matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the app to share the information about the food. A truck driver working for the project is then sent to pick it up and take it to a shelter.Pretty cool, right? It's not surprising that people in other cities have got in touch withLaura hoping that she could have developed similar projects for their communities.Some people, however, have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.16.

A Food Safety ProjectScientists have created a healthy clone （克隆体）of a black-footed ferret by using DNA from a ferret （雪貂）.They call the ferret Elizabeth Ann and she is the first-ever cloned US endangered-species. Every living thing has DNA-a special code that tells it how to grow. Usually an animal gets half of its DNA from its father, and the other half from its mother. Cloning uses the DNA of one living thing to create a new copy.A lot of ferrets once lived in the American West. Later many ferrets died from lack of food. By the 1970s, most experts believed that black-footed ferrets were extinct. Then, in 1981, a group of black-footed ferrets were found in Wyoming. So the US Fish and Wildlife Service caught 18 such ferrets in Wyoming and tried to raise and protect them. All but seven died. Nowadays there are between 400 and 500 such ferrets. But all of them are from the seven ferrets in Wyoming.But Elizabeth Ann is cloned from a ferret that lived over 30 years ago, so her DNA is very different. Scientists hope that when this DNA is mixed back, future black-footed ferrets will be healthier.Elizabeth Ann is healthy, and enjoys herself. Soon, she may have some cloned brothers and sisters. And later, she will have babies. Her children will have babies with wild black-footed ferrets, and her DNA will begin to spread.21.

All of the ferrets have 7 children.24. Why is Elizabeth Ann's DNA very different?A. Because she is very young.B Because her DNA is made by a scientist.C. Because her DNA is from a ferret many years ago.D. Because her DNA is from her brother and sister.25 . What do scientists hope?A. Ferrets can live longer.B. Humans can be cloned too.C. All ferrets have the same DNA.D. The cloned animal will help save ferrets.三、阅读还原6选5Do you know which social app Chinese young people use a lot now? 26 Some users use Tik Tok （J4音）and Kuaishou.
