21、 With bold colors, sharp lines and surreal (超现实主义的) scenes, street art from Brazil brings a different cultural feast to the audience in Shanghai this winter.
Two famous Brazilian street artists, twin brothers Gustavo Pandolfo and Otavio Pandolfo, opened their exhibition at the Shanghai Fosun Foundation on the last day of 2020. Titled “You Are My Guest,” the show will last till Feb. 26.
“It was difficult to put this show together when the whole world had to stop because of the pandemic,” Otavio Pandolfo told Xinhua during an online interview. Due to COVID-19, the two artists could not personally present their work in Shanghai, nor could they participate in the exhibition’s offline planning and preparations. However, they created a network with staff members from the Fosun Foundation in Shanghai via e-mails and video links.
After months of online communication and arrangements, they managed to send over 200 art pieces to Shanghai. “We try to find the best way to share our works with all the guests that visit the show,” he said.
Popular around the world, they have held and participated in exhibitions in countries including the United States, Portugal and Finland. “ ‘You Are My Guest’ is an invitation for everyone to jump inside our imagination, and we like to share this with everybody,” he said, adding that the exhibits were presented in a multi-media way, including large-scale paintings and sound pieces.
Born and living in Sao Paulo, they infuse(注入) their works with Brazilian cultural elements, such as local folk stories, hip hop music and breakdancing, and hope the exhibition would give Chinese audiences a glimpse of Brazilian culture. “It was a difficult year for everyone in many different ways,” said Gustavo Pandolfo. “We hope that with this exhibition we can bring some hope, energy and light, and people can think of something colorful, fun, happy and with love.”
【1】What can we learn about the exhibition?

22、 If you were like most children, you probably got upset when your mother called you by a sibling’s (兄弟姐妹的) name. How could she not know you? Did it mean she loved you less?
Probably not. According to the first research to tackle this topic head-on, misnaming the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive (认知的) error that has to do with how our memories classify and store familiar names.
The study, published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition, found that the “wrong” name is not random but is invariably fished out from the same relationship pond: children, siblings, friends. The study did not examine the possibility of deep psychological significance to the mistake, says psychologist David Rubin, “ but it does tell us who’s in and who’s out of the group.”
The study also found that within that group, misnaming occurred where the names shared initial or internal sounds, like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob. Physical resemblance between people was not a factor. Nor was gender.
The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1, 700 people. Some of the surveys included only college students; others were done with a mixed-age population. Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them — family or friend — had called them by another person’s name. The other surveys asked about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name. All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren, friends and siblings but hardly ever crossed these boundaries.
In general, the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to make this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often, but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents have children. Also, mothers may call on their children more often than fathers, given traditional gender norms. There was no evidence that errors occurred more when the misname was frustrated, tired or angry.
【1】What did David Rubin’s research find about misnaming?
A.It is related to the way our memories work.
B.It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory.
C.It occurs mostly between kids and their friends.
D.It often causes misunderstandings among people.
【2】What is most likely the cause of misnaming?
A.Similar personality traits. B.Similar spellings of names.
C.Similar physical appearance. D.Similar pronunciation of names.
【3】What did the surveys of more than 1,700 subjects find about misnaming?
A.It more often than not hurts relationships.
B.It hardly occurs across gender boundaries.
C.It is most frequently found in extended families.
D.It most often occurs within a relationship groups.
【4】The passage is mainly about ______.
A.scientific research on misnaming and their findings.
B.why mother misname their kids more often than fathers.
C.a brain test to explain why misnaming functions in its way.
D.the advantages and disadvantages of misnaming children.
23、How to deal with silent treatment?
Is someone you know giving you the silent treatment? Maybe you did something wrong: you embarrassed or humiliated the other person; You let them down or failed to give them your support when they needed it.【1】.
Be clear about what happened
You probably already know what it was that you said or did.【2】. You could say, “ I feel like there’s a problem between us and that you might be upset with me.” If you do know what happened between you to cause this gap, ask if you can talk.
【3】
Explain that you know what happened between you wasn’t good and that you’d like to be friends again. Ask them what their thoughts and feelings are now about what happened. Acknowledge what they say about how they feel, and then say how you feel. For example, “ I understand why you are upset and that you are angry. I feel sad/upset/bad about what happened, and I’d like to put things right. ”
Take responsibility and apologize
This doesn’t mean taking all the blame.【4】. For example, “ I know you wanted our situation to be kept private and I’ve really upset you by telling other people about it. I’m sorry I did that. I thought that talking about it to others would help me make sense of what was going on.”

24、Africa’s fight against poaching(偷猎) is often described as a war. Illegal killing is on the rise, fueled by the growing demand for ivory and rhino horn. Experts say that more than 35,000 African elephants are killed every year. And rhino poaching is thought to have reached its highest levels.
Some African rangers(巡逻队员) no longer just walk around to prevent poaching. South Africa is using drones(无线电遥控的无人飞机) to watch over its wildlife in national parks. Kenya plans to do the same. The fight against poaching is a modern war, and it is becoming increasingly high-tech.
Mike Chambers runs Bathawk Recon, the company that made the drones. Drones are a technological tool that can cover large areas, greatly reduce poaching and give rangers help.
Mike Chambers says that Tanzania’s rangers do not have the resources even to keep up with poachers. “With a quarter of a million square kilometers of protected area, it’s impossible with the budget that Tanzania has to cover that area, especially at the moment, where the resources for poachers are rising because of the international demands.”
In neighboring Kenya, the wildlife service is focusing on genetics to against poachers. Last month the service opened a lab where bush meat can be identified.
Philip Muruthi, Chief Scientist for the African Wildlife Foundation, says that along with ivory poaching, illegal bush meat hunting is also reducing Kenya’s wildlife population. Until now charging those who hunt illegally has been difficult. Poachers often say giraffe or zebra meat is beef, and so proving can be difficult.
Muruthi says the new lab can be able to tell the kind of animal the meat comes from. The lab also will be able to provide a genetic database of Kenya’s endangered animals. The information can help charge poachers.
【1】Drones are useful mostly because _______.
A．they don’t need pilots
B．they can cover large areas
C．they are small and cannot be found easily
D．they can kill poaches once they find them
【2】What can we learn from Para.4?
A．Tanzania pays little attention to fighting poaching.
B．Poachers in Tanzania find it harder to poach than before.
C．The international demands for ivory and rhino horn are rising.
D．Tanzania’s rangers couldn’t afford the drones to prevent poaching.
【3】What does the newly-opened lab do?
A．Charge poachers.
B．Turn beef into bush meat.
C．Tell the kinds of bush meat.
D．Provide the number of endangered animals.
【4】What can be used as the best title of the passage?
A．No Sale, No Killing-Let Us Protect Wildlife
B．Drones Make Poaching Impossible in Africa
C．Illegal Killing Is Becoming More Serious in African
D．High-tech Tools Help Fight against Poaching in Africa
