24、Every culture has a special way of eating. In parts of Africa, people eat with their fingers. North Americans and Europeans use forks, knives, and spoons to carry out the same task. In Asia, chopsticks are the top choice.
You might think it’s easy to use chopsticks, but actually it’s not as simple as it first appears. I learned this lesson a couple of years ago. I had applied for a job with a Chinese-Canadian company in Vancouver. As you know, the Chinese are famous for their food and they get a simple pleasure from eating.
So I was not surprised when my new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the skill, I had failed miserably in every try. Would they laugh at me? Would I make a complete fool of myself?
I went home that evening and cooked some rice and chicken and I spent the next hour learning how to use chopsticks. Try as I might, I could not hold the food with my chopsticks.
I called a friend for help. She patiently explained the proper way of holding them between the thumb, first and middle fingers. “It’s not that hard,” she said. “That’s easy for you to say,” I replied. “You’ve been eating with chopsticks all your life. It’s natural for you!”
I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I tossed and turned in bed, worrying about lunch the next day. The following morning, I could hardly control my anxiety. It was difficult to get any work done. At noon, I left with my boss and two co-workers and headed to the restaurant.
We were seated at an excellent table. My heart was pounding, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks, and spoons.
I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks.
In a second, I made up my mind. I asked the server to bring some chopsticks for me. When they arrived, I took them in my hand and carefully manoeuvred my fingers around them.
I looked over at my boss. He smiled as I grasped the chopsticks and took hold of a bit of rice and meat, holding on tightly as I tried to get it to my mouth. My fingers slipped and the food fell back to the plate. However, I didn’t give up, and eventually managed to eat my entire meal using only chopsticks.
In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. I’m glad my new boss was so considerate. And I’m really glad I decided to ask for chopsticks.
We go out for lunch often in this new company. We always have a good laugh about that day. I have now mastered the chopstick skill. And you know, it really isn’t that difficult once you get used to it.

25、A recently study found people’s lives are made shorter in North China. It is showed the life expectancy(平均寿命) had been cut down by 5.5 years there. Researchers think that the heavy air pollution in China should be to blame(承担责任). It’s really the truth. Our government has already done something. However. it doesn’t seem to work so well.
“Air pollution in China is doing harm to people’s health. The harm is much more serious than we can imagine.” said Chen Yuyu of Beijing University. one of researchers of this study.
Dirty air brings serious problems in North China. In January this year. the air pollution was worse than that in other places. That was caused by rising temperature and waste gas(废气) from coal heating.
Chinese government should strongly fight against air pollution. They should think of more proper ways to deal with the problem. People should be encouraged to take buses. ride bicycles or walk. instead of driving cars. The factories that pollute heavily should be closed.

26、The world has lost one of its brightest stars. British physicist Stephen Hawking died on March 14, at the age of 76.
Hawking was known for his vast knowledge of black holes and the Big Bang theory, which attempts to explain how the universe began. His 1988 book A Brief History of Time, which contains his understanding of the universe, is one of the biggest-selling science books of all time.
His hard work led him to receive many awards and prizes. For example, in 2006, he was awarded the Copley Medal, an outstanding award for scientific achievement.
But his fame didn’t only come from his scientific achievements—his life experience was also inspiring. At the age of 21, he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (运动神经元病), before being confined to a wheelchair and needing the help of a voice synthesizer (合成器) to speak. He was predicted to die within a few years, yet he lived on to become one of the greatest scientists the world has ever known.
Although he’s no longer with us, his legacy will surely live on. As Sajid Javid, a UK government minister, put it, “A brief history on Earth; an eternity in the stars.”

B.The stars in the universe are eternal.
C.His book A Brief History of Time is too short.

27、“Made in China” is having its moment now--and it’s a fashionable one.
The story of Chinese fashion began in 2011 when Feiyue and Huili, both Chinese sports shoe brands(品牌), suddenly got international attention. Their products were seen all over the world. Chinese sportswear brand Li Ning was at the New York Fashion Week in September, 2018. They showed their new designs—sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters.
Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group, said that the latest Chinese brands no longer catch customers’ eye by low price. He told CNN, “They are sure that they can go head to head with foreign brands. ”
Maybe it is because China’s young people are now more confident about their own culture. They don’t show immediate interest in western culture any more.
“Today’s young people in China are crazy about Chinese cultural elements(元素), ”. Jin Qu, the manager of a clothing shopping website, said at a cultural festival in 2018. “They like these elements printed on their clothes, even the brand picture of Laoganma in China, which was once seen as outside of fashion. But now young people are proud of these Chinese symbols. ”
In fact, many stars in the West are now interested in Chinese cultural elements in fashion. Rihanna, a US singer, for example, wore a Chinese red dress to the 2015 Met Gala in New York. The dress was designed and made by Chinese designer Guo Pei.
“We have to move from making to creating, ” Chinese-American designer Aric Chen once told The New York Times. “We want to replace the words ‘Made in China’ with ‘Designed in China’. ”

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.
Dogs are very good pets. They are very friendly to people, because they are good companions. They are very patient and are good listeners and you can tell them your feelings and they’ll sit there and listen. You can tell them things you can’t tell anybody else.
Dogs are the perfect pet because they can keep you safe. They will bark when there is danger and they can s【1】 scare off strangers. If a stranger breaks into your house, your dog can protect you. They can also warn their owners of fire. Just in case of an earthquake, specially trained dogs can find people under buildings.
Dogs can be fantastic pets because they can help you get exercise. Dogs need to go out for a walk. Daily exercise can keep you at a healthy w【2】. It can also strengthen your bones and muscles. Exercise with a dog gives you a lot of energy.
Do dogs understand us? Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think. Some researchers in Germany have made experiments. A border collie (边境牧羊犬) named Rico r【3】 the names of about 200 objects. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee. In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 c【4】 right. As the dog couldn’t see anyone to get clues, the researchers believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.
In another experiment, the researchers took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before. The c【5】 object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination (排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the a【6】 dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (种) known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.
It’s hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can’t talk back. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!
We believe dogs are good pets because they can be fun to play with. They also make us r【7】 because we have to take care of it. Whenever you’re bored, a dog will always be there to play with you. Raising a dog is hard, but there are a lot of benefits.
