Chinese volleyball superstar Zhu Ting has inspired (启发) a new English word- ZHUperb!
The word uses \This year, Zhu was named as one of the Top Global Outstanding Athletes by a famous award. As captain of the Chinese women's national volleyball team, Zhu has \golden age of women's volleyball in China\
Although she's a superstar now, it hasn't been easy for Zhu to get where she is.
Born to a farming family in Henan province, Zhu went to a local sports school at age 13. Zhu got homesick during the first few months of training. But her father encouraged her, which helped her make progress.
She became well - known by helping China's U20 team win the 2013 FIVB U20(世青赛) World Championship. Zhu joined the national team shortly afterward.
At first, the 1.98-meter-tall Zhu found it difficult to move quickly and stay balanced. But head coach Lang Ping took advantage of her height and trained her to jump high and spike (扣球) the ball. Her work paid off. Zhu is now an outstanding spiker.
Today, Zhu sees her height as an advantage. And she still works hard during training. \Daily.

I'm an English teacher working in Russia, and for some reason I really don't like that classroom topic - Talk About Your Family. Perhaps it's because everyone studied English from the same book at school. So all the students say, \mother, my father, my brother and my dog…\
Let's get rid of the phrase \ways to talk about families. English is rich in idioms (习语) to talk about family life. We've mentioned the black sheep of the family - that's someone who didn't fit in, or caused a family scandal(丑闻). If you're loyal(忠诚) to your family, you can say blood is thicker than water or keep it in the family. If you share a talent with another family member, you can say it runs in the family. You might have your father's eyes or your mother's nose. If you're like one of your parents, you can say like father, like son or you can be a chip off the old block.
Then there are idioms that have left the family and gone on to have a life of their own. For example, a Londoner is telling someone how to get a new passport. \pick up a form in the post office, hand it in with your old passport and …Bob's your uncle.\means \such a useful uncle to have.
4．Why does the writer dislike the classroom topic Talk About Your Family? ______ A．Because he works in Russia. C．Because all answers are the same.
B．Because all families are the same. D．Because he has no family there. B．her head coaches training and help. D．her calmness and coolness.
5．When we mention the black sheep of the family, we can refer to someone ______ . A．who caused a family scandal C．who has the father's eyes
B．who is loyal to the family D．who has a useful uncle
6．What can you say if you want to express you have the same talent with your brother? ______
A．Blood is thicker than water. C．You are the chip of the old block.
B．It runs in the family. D．Bob is your uncle.
7．According to the passage, how do you probably feel when you hear \
______ A．sad.
I live a SOHO life. I work at home and my company has closed several offices. Some companies that introduced home working didn't have much success. I don't think they should go back to making all their workers working in offices. Instead, it would be better to retrain their managers. Managers who deal with home workers have to be able to develop team spirit among home working people. They must be in regular communication with people in their teams, but not always be checking-up on them.
Simon
Talking with my coworkers at the office is enjoyable. However, most of the office talks are time-wasting and nothing to do with work. Sometimes it is very troublesome. I have worked at home for over 20 years. Every three months I have to return to my office for a meeting. I quite enjoy the time spent there. It's all good fun, but I am really surprised to see how much time people waste there. I haven't had great success in my job, but I've been at home to see my children grown up.
James
I used to hate working at an office. People stood behind me and talked loudly. I am a soft- ware developer and I have to focus on my work. I found I work much better at home where no one breaks my thinking. However, it's really important that you control yourself and carry on with your work no matter where you are.
Paul
Two years ago, I started working from home. At first I enjoyed being at home. I could eat when I wanted to and wear whatever I liked. However, after a bit I missed meeting with my coworkers. Now I have moved into an office and just do one or two days at home. I feel I work better because I am not in the same place all day. I think a bit of both is the best choice.
John
8．Who work both at home and in an office now? ______ A．John.
B．James.
C．Simon.
D．Paul.
B．bored.
C．stressed.
D．satisfied.
9．According to Simon, what should be done if companies introduced home working but failed? ______
A．go back to office working.
