21、With his strong interest in national affairs, 37-year-old Song Zhigang was glued to the TV news during the 2014 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. He not only learned all the latest information about the event, he was also inspired to write a song for Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife, Peng Liyuan. Titled Xi Dada Loves Peng Mama, the song tells of the love between the couple, which goes "Xi Dada loves Peng Mama. Their love is like a myth. Peng Mama loves Xi Dada. A nation with love is the strongest".
When the song was released in an online video on Nov 18, it became an instant viral hit, which has been viewed over 40 million times and stirred hot discussion. Many netizens said it's sweet to listen to the song while seeing such photos, and some believe that the couple sets a good example for China's young couples.
Born in Zhengzhou, Henan province, Song works as an independent songwriter along with his team there, including singer-songwriters Yu Runze, Xu An and Wu Bai. Song says that he finished the lyrics within an hour and sent it to his team via cellphone. The team finished composing(作曲) that night. They also made the music video by themselves, which was the first time that they had ever produced a music video and uploaded it online. The video of the song contains 33 photos and 2 cartoon illustrations of the couple, displaying small interactive moments, including tacit eye contact between the couple and hand touching when the couple played a swing. Nine children between 4 and 12 years old were invited to rap and sing along with the team. "When I watched the couple appearing on TV, they seemed just like any other ordinary couple and I felt close to them. With some small sweet moments, I could feel the love between the couple," says Song.
"Xi Dada" and "Peng Mama" have both become Internet buzz words, referring to the Chinese president and his popular wife. Song notes that the couple has attracted worldwide attention and even what Peng wears becomes headlines.
Yu Runze, 32, is one of the singers and also comes from Zhengzhou. She says the team started to release songs online around four years ago, mostly pop love ballads(歌曲，歌谣). Though they could make ends meet by making music, they remained unknown before this song. "We didn't expect that the song would gain so much popularity online. People share the same feeling we have about the couple, which is warm and sincere," says Yu, who is a graduate of the Qilu Conservatory of Music, Shandong province, and has released five albums since 2006.
"We want to sing the song at 2015's CCTV Spring Festival Gala."

22、'There's no place like home. 'This English saying has much truth in it：the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head. And for many young adults, it's the only affordable place to stay; somewhere where they can receive first-class service from mum and dad. But this comes at a price!
In some countries, it's quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents, but in other places, flying the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable. But there's been a growing trend, in the UK at least, for young people to return home to live-or not to leave home at all.
A survey by a price comparison website found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt, compared with 8% last year. More young people had lost their jobs, and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year. So, it's easy to see why they're increasingly becoming home birds.
The BBC's Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts. But for the 'hoteliers', that's mum and dad, the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply, and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their 'big kids'. Emma Craig from Money supermarket says " they're trying to look after their children more. If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially, you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute. It tugs on your heartstrings more. "
With parents splashing out around ￡1, 886 on takeaway food, buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring, it's easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home. That's before they learn a home truth-that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad!
【1】Which proverb might present the young British's living conditions? ______
A．A lazy youth, an awful age.
B．East or west, home is best.
C．Two heads are better than one.
D．Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man.
【2】Which might be the reason for the increase of home birds? ______
A．The popularity of living independently.
B．Looking after their old parents.
C．The increase of unemployment rate.
D．Their parents' financial offer.
【3】What's Emma Craig's attitude towards home birds? ______
A．Doubtful.
B．Uncertain.
C．Objective.
D．Understandable.
【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about? ______
A．Returning to live with parents comes at a price.
B．Parents are willing to receive their returning children.
C．Flying the net is becoming popular at present.
D．Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents.
23、Last year, Liu Xiang, who lives alone in Shanghai, wrote an analysis of nearly 3,000 words on small home appliances that make living alone all the more pleasurable. Her take on these items, ranging from desk lamps and hair dryers to cooking machines, drew more than 100 replies, unusual for that specific section of the discussion group where 50 replies would normally put the topic in the hot category.
However, the interest shown to what to some may seem like a trifling matter should not really be that surprising given that in China 77 million people live alone. These solo dwellers, aged 20 to 39, are mostly engaged in high-paying jobs in fields like finance, so as a group they have tremendous spending power.
Home appliance makers and sellers are one of the main beneficiaries of the solo economy. Take Little Bears Electric Appliances. It has been expanding and updating its product line to target at the solo market, and half its 40 product categories are now singles-friendly.
A New York University sociology professor, Eric Klinenberg, said in his book Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone that the single society is becoming hugely powerful and an indicator of social change.
In 2018 and 2019 the Japanese video game Travel Frog became a hit in China. Actually, Travel Frog was a game that seemed to speak directly to those who keep the solo economy ticking. In it, a wayward (任性的) frog has become a baby people are keen on looking after. The frog never interacts with the player, eats alone, reads and does craft work at home and often sets out on journeys, sending postcards to the player letting him or her know its new location. The Travel Frog phenomenon was just one more sign of the increasing importance of the solo economy, with more and more people actively or passively accepting and enjoying their solitude.
Travelling alone is becoming a strong market opportunity. 75% of Ctrip’s self-operated tour groups have opened options for one-person travel, and it plans to develop more innovative products and services tailored to solo travelers.
In entertainment and recreation, too, the solo economy is changing how things work. Minikaraoke booths, self-service photo studios and self-service gyms have popped up on many comers in many cities.
【1】Liu Xiang’s article about small home appliances is well-received by _____.
A．those living all by themselves
B．a specific discussion group
C．home appliance producers
D．people with high-paying jobs
【2】By “singles-friendly” (in paragraph 3), the author most probably means that Little Bears’ products _____.
A．are innovative in design
B．are easy to use to any individual
C．address the needs of the individual
D．are environmentally conscious
【3】What do the travel frog and its player have in common?
A．They both seem to enjoy living alone.
B．They are both keen on travelling.
C．They both stimulate the solo economy.
D．They both interact with others reluctantly.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．The popularity of solo dwelling.
B．The prospect of the solo market.
C．The influence of living alone.
D．The rise of the solo economy.
24、Humpback Whale Swim and Watch Tour
Every year over 30000 humpback whales pass our Ningaloo reef at different stages of their migratory journey. Their size, beauty and funny behaviors have attracted tourists from all over the world.
We now have the opportunity to enter their world and swim quietly along with them to experience a small part of their journey. There will be only 7 swimmers in the water at any one time along with our guide and photographer to capture this truly amazing event.
At 8 am tourists will be picked up from their accommodation and delivered to our beautiful Heron. Once on board we head out to the reef for our morning snorkel. People wanting to swim with the humpbacks will need to be able to swim and be over the age of 18.
After our morning snorkel, our spotter plane will search for a resting group as these slow moving whales are more likely to be interested in interacting with our swimmers and providing that breath-taking experience you will never forget. When the humpback swimming is finished, we serve a delicious lunch with all drinks provided. If time permits, we'll move into one of our favorite snorkeling spots for another explore of the Ningaloo reef. We will return to Exmouth later in the afternoon.
