Parents helped us in all sides when we were very young. As we grow older, we may help them. Families can succeed in reaching goals when all family members help one another.

What makes real family members? Whoever we are, our family members are the most important in our lives. Family members support each other in many ways besides money or helping around the house. On the one hand, we can share our hopes, dreams or problems when we communicate with them. On the other hand, we can get a strong feeling of satisfaction and confidence with their help.

How to build good family relationships needs a lot of efforts. Firstly, everyone in the family needs to get along well with each other and shouldn’t have conflicts . Secondly, family members should share thoughts and feelings while eating meals, traveling or working together. Thirdly, we should talk with each other about our worries and then solve them together because family members can encourage one another to set goals and achieve dreams. Finally, we are supposed to spend time listening to family members. Listening shows we care about them as much as they care about us.

In a word, family members can make us full of energy and powerful all the time.

    Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province, China, was chosen to be the host city of the 19th Asian Games. However, some people say that the 19th Asian Games will be held in 2022, while some say 2023. Which is true?

To make it clear, we need to have a better understanding of Asian Games first.

The Asian Games is a multi-sport event. It is held every four years among athletes from all over Asia. It is the second largest multi-sport event after the Olympic Games.

The Asian Games are always held at the same year as the World Cup, which is also held every four years. Many people around the world pay more attention to the World Cup. This really makes the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) worried. So, the OCA decides to postpone the 18th Asian Games for a year. That is in 2019. In this way, the Asian Games won’t be held in the same year as the World Cup. So Hangzhou will hold the event in 2023.

Hanoi(河内), capital of Vietnam(越南), is the host city of the 18th Asian Games. However, Vietnamese government announced in 2014 that Hanoi gave up the right to host the Asian Games because they don’t have enough money.

Luckily, Djakarta(雅加达), capital of Indonesia(印度尼西亚), was willing to be the host city instead of Hanoi. But then came another problem. Djakarta will hold presidential election(总统选举) in 2019, so the government wanted to change the holding time of the Asian Games back to 2018. The OCA agreed.

(   )2. What does the underlined word “postpone” mean in the passage?

   C. do something later              D. do something right now

(   )3. Why did the government of Indonesia wanted to change the holding time of the Asian Games back to 2018?

That’s exactly what happened to Nkosikho Mbele, a worker at a gas station in South Africa. His sudden luck was brought about by an act of kindness he did for a young woman—Monet, a company manager.

One day, Monet stopped at the gas station to refuel （加油） . But when Nkosikho was about to serve her, she realized she didn’t have any money or cards on her. She immediately tried to stop him. Knowing about her trouble, Nkosikho decided to pay her gas bill of about R100 （＄ 7 ） to make sure that she could travel across the highway with enough gas.

“Madam, I’ll pay for you so that you won’t run out of gas on the road.Whenever you are near here again, you can just give me back the money,” Nkosikho said. As for him, the R100 was almost all he made in a day. He had to support a big family. He needed the money very much. He wasn’t even sure if Monet would come back to return his money, but he still volunteered to help her.

Several days later, Monet came back with his money and a box of chocolate. She was so thankful that she also posted their story on the Internet. Great changes took place. Nkosikho became famous in his town. Many people were moved by his act and offered to raise money for him.
