• 2．For ten years，Hingorani and I have shared a wall.In all these years，we shared nothing more than that wall.
     Hingorani lost her husband around eight months ago.Now，the 82-year-old former headmaster of Mumbai's Jai Hind College lives alone in the apartment next door.
     Knowing it would be difficult for her to manage things without any help，I started dropping by.When I found out that she loves meat and chicken，I went with a plate of butter chicken and kulchas.And we started to talk of course.
     As we started to talk，I realized how different she was from what I had thought.And that's where our friendship really began.I found that she related to me in a lot of ways — both of us married of our own free will，and she，too，was a working mother，We spoke about her relationship with her two sisters who live abroad and how they connect with each other every day.
     Her liberal thinking，the way she raised her daughter，her love for her culture and stories of her teaching days — including how the boys at her college gave her a hard time — all made for great conversation.I never felt we were generations apart.She，too，loves my company and looks forward to my crazy stories without judgment.I tell her about the challenges I face when raising a child.A chat with her is like a warm hug at the end of a bad day.
     Hingorani has become part of my daily life.I look forward to either having a cup of tea with her on her balcony or enjoying a glass of wine on a Saturday night.Our connection is pure.Our friendship is not limited by age.Instead，it is strengthened by the circumstances.

• 3．Summer is a great time to go on holiday in Australia，especially after the long lockdown.Since overseas travel is still impossible，local spots have become hot destjye.aiations.In January，my friends and I went to the Great Ocean Road for three days' trip and it was an amazing trip!
     The Great Ocean Road is known for its beautiful coastline.During our trip，we enjoyed an amazing view of the ocean.On the first day，we went to the Split Point Lighthouse at the start of the road.The lighthouse has a "red hat" on the top.After climbing to the top，we could enjoy a breathtaking view.Looking from above，the waves lapping the shore divided the ocean and land into two halves.
     Although the road hugs the coastline for its full length，the landscape （地形） changes from area to area.At first，we saw many surfers，swimmers，and other beachgoers.There are lots of beaches where people can enjoy the water.Right next to the beaches are small towns equipped with holiday houses and seafood restaurants，so it's convenient for people who want to stay there for a few days with their family.
     However，as we explored the Great Ocean Road further and reached the area around Port Campbell，we saw its famous limestone structures.People gave them names based on their shapes，such as the Twelve Apostles and London Bridge.The stones might have been accidentally sculptured by nature into certain shapes，but it was the human imagination that gave them a soul!
  
  （1）What is the Great Ocean Road famous for？

  
  A．The limestone structures.
  B．The coastline.
  C．The Split Point Lighthouse.
  D．The beaches.
  （2）What does the name of Twelve Apostles relate to？
