21、The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics saw the rise of new Chinese sports stars. Many post-00s athletes challenged(挑战) themselves and showed their love for their sports.

Gu Ailing did a great job at the Beijing Winter Olympics. She won two medals from her first two events—one gold, one silver. The 18-year-old won the women’s freeski(自由式滑雪) big air event with an amazing jump she had never tried before. She made four and a half rotations(旋转) in the air before landing backward. The teenager was so excited that she cried after the jump. “The tears were mostly of joy, that I had pushed myself to the absolute limit (极限),” she said after that.

22、Why is 2020 a special year? Because it is a Leap Year (闰年).

What's so special about that? Well, we have a Leap Year every four years. And it has 366 days, not the usual (通常的) 365. In a Leap Year, we have 29 days in February, while in a usual year we have only 28 days.

Why do we have a Leap Year? We have a Leap Year so we can keep the calendar (日历) in step (一致) with the seasons. The calendar is a kind of clock for the year. But how long is a year? A calendar year is 365 days. But a true year is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds long.

That's the time it takes the earth to go around the sun. So every four years we have one more day, and we put it at the end of February, the shortest month of a year. Then we have a Leap Year.

23、Different countries have different customs. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. When two people meet for the first time, there are a lot of ways of greeting. The ways of greeting are not always the same in different countries.

In America, two people usually greet each other with a handshake. It is a way to show respect to the other person. Sports players from opposite teams shake hands before a game for the same reason.

However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they have already known well. When American friends meet each other, they might only wave or maybe just nod their heads.

In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi（碰鼻礼）”. In the greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads together and close their eyes. This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori, who were the first people to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet.

Kissing is sometimes used as a way to greet someone. In some countries, important people used to wear special rings. It was the custom for visitors to kiss these rings when they came for a meeting. In France, when people meet, they sometimes kiss each other on the face.

In Japan, people bow to each other every time they meet. Even family members bow to each other. People decide how low to bow depending on how respected the other person is.

Today, new ways of greeting are created all the time. People can do this with a quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile. The important thing is that the people they are greeting understand each other.

【1】The passage mainly talks about ________.

A．different ways of greeting

B．how to be a polite person

C．how to show respect to others

D．ways of saying hello in different cultures

【2】The underlined part “the same reason” refers to ________.

A．showing love

B．showing respect

C．thanking each other

D．introducing each other

【3】How low does one Japanese person bow to each other?

B．It depends on how old the other person is.

C．It depends on how respected the other person is.

D．It depends on how tall the other person is.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．It is OK to just nod heads when American friends meet.

B．Family members in Japan don’t bow to each other.
