Ever since Grumpy Cat first appeared online, the Internet can't get enough of her.But attention is not the only thing that this cat is getting. Her fortune is estimated at $100 million, more than many famous actors and musicians earn.

So how did it all start?

Grumpy Cat's owner Tabatha Bundesen was working as a waitress when her brother Bryan decided to take a photo of her funny­looking cat and post it on Reddit, a social news site. In a matter of hours, she became a sensation (轰动)．

It got 1 million views on Imgur in 48 hours.

Grumpy Cat's real name is Tardar Sauce and she actually has a condition called dwarfism, which makes her constantly frowning. But that unique frown turned out to be worth millions of dollars.

Tabatha, who lives in Arizona in the U．S., isn't complaining. She still remembers that September 22, 2012, when her life turned upside down.

Since her cat became a worldwide phenomenon, she was able to quit her job and devote her life to managing her cat's modeling career. Sounds unbelievable, but it's true. She says that her only job now is to book Tardar's photo shoots, commercials (商业广告), and other appearances.

What are the other benefits of owning a million­dollar cat?

Apart from not having to work, Tabatha can travel all the time. She has time and money to visit her family more often and enjoy her life. She never could have imagined just how huge her cat would become, but she always knew Tardar was very special. And she is glad to see her cat bringing joy to so many people around the world.

As for the millions of dollars Tardar has earned, they come from all the products, commercials and a best­selling book. She even has her own movie Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever.

Dear Mr. Smith，

I've read your advertisement for the assistant teacher for a children's winter camp. I am quite interesting in this position. Most importantly, I love working with children! As the monitor in your class, in the past two years I proved myself to be an excellent helper to my teachers. I speak fluent English, what enables me to help native English teachers communicate freely and effective with students in an English-only environment.

I will soon have a three-week winter vacations, so I have no problem working evenings and weekends. I would be pleased to assist for both the teachers and students in this challenging or rewarding environment.

Looking forward to receive your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

I came to the North America when I was 14 year old. Immediately upon my arrive I was put into an English class to learn to speak English. In Korea, we lived close to a US base. However, as a child, I grew up thinking there was only two types of people, black soldiers and white soldiers, and that they all spoke English. So you can imagine my determination to speak English. When I settled Los Angeles and went to school, I work really hard. I would talk with his friends outside of class, or study hard in class. I noticed my English improved so faster!

   For those of you who haven't heard of it, the Apple Watch is designed by Apple Inc. Its sales began in April, 2015. As the name suggests, it is designed to tell us the time.
However, an Apple Watch is never just a watch. In fact, this watch is multifunctional. It not only shows us the time, but also acts as a fitness monitor（监测仪）and a messaging tool that can be connected with an iPhone.
Do you think it's a great invention? Don't you think the technology has gone too far?
Though the Apple Watch is cool in appearance, is it a good thing to be able to receive messages through a watch, or is this another way of letting technology destroy our social life?
Just imagine:A group of friends sitting at a table in a restaurant will ignore each other as everyone will be too busy reading a new message on their watches. Students will carefully check their messages in school, despite the fact that mobile phones aren't allowed in class...Although smartwatches may make communication through technology easier, it seems that it could actually influence face-to-face communication.
I do have to agree, however, the watch has some interesting and helpful functions. For example, it can be used to create and record sporting activities. This could be of special interest to sports fans. While there are clearly both good and bad things when it comes to this invention,I personally like my single-purpose watch that simply tells me the time! What about you? Would you be interested in having a smartwatch?

B．The creator.

C．The functions.

D．The time when its sales began.

【小题2】What does the writer want to tell us by using the examples in the fourth paragraph?

B．Smartwatches have an effect on face-to-face communication.
