21、Wearing his bright red armband and speaking fluent Mandarin, from a distance 62-year-old Gao Tianrui could be taken for any regular Chinese man.
But on closer inspection, things are not quite what they seem:Gao’s real name is Terry Crossman and he is from the United States. Having lived in Beijing for more than20 years, Terry Crossman has finally fulfilled his Chinese dream: becoming a public security volunteer. Life as a “Xicheng Dama” has even made him an online celebrity.
Xicheng Dama are volunteers, usually women in late middle-age, who roam(闲逛) the streets of downtown Beijing’s Xicheng district. And now Crossman has joíned their club. He is seen giving tourists directions, getting water for a baby and even helping a neighbor sell yogurt.
“I like helping others,” he said. “I live in the hutong and my neighbors and I usually help each other… This is where I live, where my friends are and where I call home.”
Crossman became interested in Chinese culture as a teenager. At 18, he took a ship to Taiwan to learn Chinese. On the ship the captain suggested that he should have a Chinese name.“He named me Gao Tianrui,”he said.
Crossman and his family moved to Beijing in 1997. His parents separated when he was young, and he lived in many different places in the US, so he never felt like he had a regular home there. “I had no hometown in the United States,”he said. “Your home is where your things are. In this sense, Beijing is my home.”
He can often be found chatting with local people, especially taxi drivers. During his leisure time, Crossman teaches people English. Currently he is helping employees at a cafe near his home, telling them how to say useful words such as“set meal” and “discount”.
In March, Crossman met Liu Xiaoxia, who helped him get into volunteering. “He asked me to give him a red armband—the symbol of the volunteers.” Liu said, and Crossman is proud of his.
“In different periods I had different lives:married life, life with children and life alone,”he said. “Now I just enjoy living here.”

22、Freshers’ Week
In British universities, new students have a special name: they are called Freshers. After their A-level exams, young people in the UK often make a fresh start by going to university. Which can involve leaving their family and moving to a new city. 【1】.
Freshers’ Week is a chance to make lots of new friends and try out different hobbies. Most universities in the UK have a Union building: a place where students go to have fun. 【2】 It also hosts various societies, including sports teams, political groups, etc. Students buy a membership to be part of a society and go to social events to meet others with similar interests. Sometimes there are quite a lot of students in lectures so it is difficult to get to know people in class. Therefore, each subject has its own club, such as the English Society and the Philosophy Society.
【3】 Tours of the town, creative workshops and parties are great ways to socialize with others. Sometimes famous singers come and play concerts especially for the new students of the university. There are also opportunities to go on trips to theme parks or other big cities nearby.
Students often move into “halls of residence” in their first year. 【4】 This is an excellent way to make friends but sometimes it can be difficult if you don’t get along with your new flat-mates or if the shared area gets very messy.
Freshers’ Week can be quite an exhausting experience because so many activities happen at once. A lot of students feel homesick when they first arrive on campus and keep themselves very busy to avoid feeling sad about leaving their family. Some students use their new liberty to drink a lot of alcohol and eat unhealthy food during Freshers’ Week. 【5】 However, it is supposed to be the best week of your life, and it is also an opportunity to make friends. Remember that it is only the beginning of your time at university and that you have three years ahead of you.
A.Usually it has shops, bars and even underground nightclubs.
B.They live in apartments with their own bedrooms but share a kitchen.
C.The best part of it is that you can share your interests with people around.
D.In Freshers’ Week, lots of activities are organized for Freshers to meet each other.
E.Then comes the great opportunity to make friends, join clubs and settle into university life.
F.This can cause “Freshers’ flu”: people get ill after a week of late nights and non-stop parties.
G.The first week of university life is called Freshers’ Week and is both an exciting and scary experience.
23、 Japanese women rebel against painful dress codes. They think some employers care more about how they look than how they feel.
Ishikawa Yumi worked eight-hour shifts in a funeral parlour (殡仪馆),always in heels, toes bleeding. Her employer insisted. "Why do we have to hurt our feet at work, when men can wear flat shoes?” she complained on Twitter. The tweet exploded. Encouraged, she gathered 18,800 signatures on a petition (请愿书)calling for a ban on employers requiring women to wear high heels, which she submitted to the government last June. Ms. Ishikawa became the face of the KuToo campaign—a pun on Japanese words for shoes (kutsu) and pain (kutsuu), with a response to the MeToo movement.
More than 60% of Japanese women with jobs have been forced to squeeze their feet into heels at work or have witnessed colleagues having to, according to a survey. Female staff at Takashimaya, a department store, must parade around the shop in 5cm heels.
Dress codes at many Japanese firms are strict. Some ban glasses for women (but not men), for fear that they are unattractive. This is especially unreasonable for those who find contact lenses(隐形眼镜)uncomfortable. Japanese bosses, who tend to be older men, often expect their female employees to endure it.
The government has dug in its heels. A former labor minister, who received Ms. Ishikawa's petition last year, insists that wearing high heels at work is “necessary and appropriate". The petition itself has received no official response to date.
But Japanese companies are slowly responding to KuToo. In late March Japan Airlines announced that its female flight attendants can kick off their heels and swap skirts for trousers if they choose. All three big mobile-phone operators have relaxed their rules on heels. Ms. Ishikawa is cooperating with a shoe company to produce fashionable heelless shoes, "Society is changing," says Ms. Ishikawa. "We can't be ignored." Pointless rules about footwear may soon be given the boot.
【1】Ms. Ishikawa launched the KuToo campaign in order to.
A.submit a ban on the government
B.respond to the MeToo movement
C.fight against women's dress codes
D.complain of their working conditions
【2】The underlined phrase “dig in its heels" in Paragraph 5 means " ".
A.refuse to change B.ignore its work
C.oppose the rules D.postpone its duties
【3】Which of the following do Japanese bosses normally expect their female employees to do?
A.To wear glasses.
B.To wear trousers.
C.To wear heelless shoes.
D.To wear contact lenses.
【4】What is Ms. Ishikawa's attitude toward the future reform of the dress codes for Japanese women?
A.Hopeful. B.Cautious. C.Negative. D.Skeptical.
24、 I was recently surfing the Internet when I came across a collection of strange beach photos where everyone had a cloth wall surrounding their little patch of sand. I had never seen anything like it before, and I was intrigued. So I started Googling all sorts of phrases that might throw light on the mystery of Polish beach separators.
I found a site on Poland’s affairs that actually covered this “phenomenon(现象)” quite exactly. According to the site, beach separators have been a part of Polish beach-going culture for a long time, but have recently been getting a lot of attention online, after foreign tourists started posting photos on social networks.
Beach separators vary in size according to the size of the group. You’ll see tiny ones only surrounding the space around a single beach towel, and giant ones separating a large part of the beach. They weren’t designed to protect their users from prying(窥探)eyes. It’s no secret that strong winds are very common on the shores of the Baltic Sea, so they were originally meant to allow beach-goers to enjoy sunbathing without having their belongings blown away, or sand blown in their faces.
However, in recent years, people have begun criticizing them. During the summer, beach separators are placed so close to each other that a person can hardly pass between them, let alone(更不必说)find a place to put their own beach towels. This creates a problem for foreign tourists unfamiliar with them, who just want a place to lie down on the sand. And thus they can easily create all kinds of conflicts(冲突)due to the lack of space. For example, some people leave the beach for hours but leave their separators in place, to make sure that their space doesn’t get occupied by someone else.
Having visited a fair number of seaside resorts(胜地)across Europe, I admire that I have never seen anything like this before.
【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “intrigued” in Paragraph 1?
A.Amused. B.Satisfied.
C.Interested. D.Encouraged.
【2】What do we know about the beach separators?
A.They are a special tradition in Poland.
B.They are man-made scenery in Poland.
C.They are a temporary phenomenon in Poland.
D.They are becoming popular around the world.
【3】Why do the beach-goers set up separators?
A.To have a good sunbath. B.To attract others’ attention.
C.To keep themselves in private. D.To protect themselves from thieves.
【4】What are beach separators blamed for?
A.They cause plenty of garbage. B.They take up too much space.
C.They fail to function properly. D.They look strangely out of place.
【5】What is the text mainly about?
A.A new Polish attraction. B.Big challenges on the beach.
C.Beach space separators in Poland. D.An unforgettable journey to Poland.
