24、 According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, an international nonprofit (非盈利的) environmental organization, Shenzhen tops all Chinese cities in walking environment. It’s reported that Shenzhen has built a number of parks and greenways in recent years. Now there are about 2,500 kilometres of greenways available for people to enjoy healthy activities.
In order to make greenways that satisfy people, the Shenzhen Greenway Office has set up rest areas, environmental-friendly toilets, signs and so on. At a rest area on the Shatou greenway in Futian District, things like medical kits and drinking water are available for people. “We can stay here to keep out of the rain and have water to drink, which is good,” said a cleaner who often goes there and drinks some of the water. At another rest area on the round-city greenway in Longhua District, people can see many volunteers providing help for others. More places such as nursery rooms (育婴室) and book bars have also been set up there.
A map, called the Shenzhen greenway coverage map, shows the general layout (布局) of the city’s greenways. And each district has one greenway map with information introducing the history and tourist places along the greenway. A woman living in Futian District says that she takes a walk on a greenway every weekend and the greenway map helps her a lot. “It offers a lot of information, such as how long the greenway is and where the toilets are,” she said.

25、As prices and building costs keep rising, the DIY in big cities of China becomes more popular.
“We needed furniture for our living room,” says Li Ling, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” Li Ling got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they tried their best to make a home by themselves because the cost of living is very high. Li Ling and his wife took a two-week course for 1280 yuan at a training school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.

26、 As the global pandemic (传染病) speeds up, many are wondering about whether the face masks (口罩) really work and when it's proper to wear them. Most people from the East believe that wearing a mask is necessary to control the spread of NCP (新冠肺炎). But people in the West generally would argue that unless one is already ill, wearing a mask is simple unnecessary.
In Eastern countries, mask-wearing is mostly due to their cultures. In fact, people in the East wear masks not just to protect themselves from illness but also for all kinds of other reasons. In China, masks are worn in any situations in daily life, such as doing homework or visiting parents in the hospital. They can give people the comfort of being protected.
In recent years, some of Asian people wear masks just to make themselves look good. Young people in Japan, for example, like to wear masks as a fashion, expressing their personal style through special drawings and patterns.
Some sociologists (社会学家) even make some deeper study about the different ideas about wearing masks between eastern countries and western countries.
In Asia, wearing a face mask is also a direct expression of group values. With one's face half covered, one becomes part of the group. "People communicated their responsibilities to the social group of which they were members." wrote Peter Bachr, a researcher in sociology (社会学) at Lingnan University, Hong Kong.
In Western countries, however, ▲ . As a member in the city, it's one's duty to prevent the spread of illness by following proper hygienic (卫生) steps, such as washing one's hands and not getting touch with others. But a face mask is showing some signs of illness. They will never do what they don't want to do for the public.
Whether from the East or the West, social culture and peer pressure (同伴压力) have played an important role in one's decision about whether or not to wear a mask. That's because human beings belong to society, who will properly consider what other members of society think of us. The most important thing is to respect others' opinions, no matter how different they are.
【1】According to the passage, ________ people like to wear masks to make themselves look fashionable.
A.French B.American C.Japanese D.Chinese
【2】Which of the following sentences can be put in the ________?
A.Group values are more important. B.Personal values are more important.
C.People are not afraid of the spread of illness. D.People try their best to prevent the spread of illness.
【3】Form the passage, we can infer that ________.
A.Eastern people wear masks, but western people think it unnecessary.
B.Western people regard wearing masks as a sign to show illness.
C.If an easterner wears a mask, his friends around him will keep away from him.
D.If a westerner finds his friends around him wearing masks, he may also wear a mask.
【4】If we put the passage into parts, which of the following is the best?
A.①; ② ③; ④ ⑤ ⑥; ⑦ B.①; ② ③ ④; ⑤ ⑥; ⑦

I smiled. “Of course.”
“One of my dad’s neighbours uses sign,” she said. “Maybe I can surprise her with a greeting next time I visit my dad.”
“Your dad doesn’t live with you?” I said.
She shook her head. “My parents are separated.”
“Oh, I…” I’d been so worried about my family that I hadn’t thought about Evelyn’s family. “Hey, if you come over tomorrow, we can practice some sign language then.”
