One of my favorite hobbies is exchanging old-fashioned，paper-with-a-stamp-on-it postcards with random strangers around the world.And for me, it's sending not just any postcard，but one in particular that seems to resonate(共鸣)with people everywhere.

The Postcrossing project was created by Paulo Magalh?es in 2005.He liked getting mail—especially postcards.He thought others did，too—but how could he connect with them? That's when he came up with the idea of an online platform (postcrossing.com)：There，postcard lovers like me can sign up to send a postcard to someone who has registered(注册)online，and receive a postcard in return.

Along with a randomly selected address，participants(参与者)get a unique code to put on the

postcard.When the postcard arrives，the recipient registers that code with the site，which then causes the sender's address to be given to another Postcrosser in turn.In practice，this means that for nearly every postcard I send(a few get lost in the mail)I get one back.And since I never know who will be sending me a card or where in the world they live, every trip to the mailbox holds the potential for a wonderful surprise.

At the last count，there were more than 690，000 Postcrossers in 211 countries，representing nearly every race, religion，and creed (教义) on the planet—and the cards they'd like to receive are nearly as diverse. I've seen requests for postcards featuring maps，animals，Benedict Cumberbatch(an actor)，and the color green.But no matter how lengthy or unusual a particular Postcrosser's list of requests may be，somewhere，in nearly every card，is a sentence like this：“Please send me a card that represents something unique or special about your country.”

I love to see that request.To me，the opportunity to share what I love most about my country and to learn what other people love most about theirs is the heart and soul of this activity.

24．Why did Paulo set up the online platform?

A．To get postcards from strangers. B．To connect with the author.

C．To earn extra money. D．To make friends around the world. 25．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．How people sign up for the platform. B．How the online platform works. C．What the online platform provides. D．Why the online platform succeeds. 26．How does the author feel on the way to get his card?

A．Curious and eager. B.Surprised and shocked. C．Nervous and expected. D．Upset and unusual. 27．What does the author think of the Postcrossing project?

A．It's a request to make people share their cultures. B．It's an opportunity to know more people. C．It's a way of learning about a new country.

D．It's an activity about sharing and communicating.

Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.

A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half(53 percent)have breakfast alone and nearly half(46 percent)have lunch by themselves. Only at

dinnertime are we eating together anymore，74 percent，according to statistics from the report. “I prefer to go out and be out. Alone，but together，you know?”Bechtel said，looking up from her book. Bechtel，who works in downtown West Palm Beach，has lunch with coworkers

sometimes，but like many of us，too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today，I just wanted some time to myself，”she said.

just two seats over，Andrew Mazoleny，a local videographer，is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流). “I reflect on how my day's gone and
