21、 Barcelona’s opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public since the coronavirus pandemic put the world into a huge horror, but their opening night had an unusual audience. For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that's correct. All 2, 292 seats at the GranTeatre Liceu were occupied by green plants.
The idea was conceived by an artist Eugenio Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater’s website. These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants — which were brought in by local nurseries (苗圃) — got the pleasure of hearing Puccini’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.
Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the idea of sustainability. “We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns,” he shares. “We don’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do.”
As plants can respond to different vibrations caused by music, they certainly weren’t a passive audience — even if they weren’t able to give applause. Now that the concert is over, each plant will be given to a different frontline healthcare worker who helped guide the country through its battle with the coronavirus.
The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixacon temporary art collection.
【1】What was the special part of the concert?
A.It had only 2, 292 seats. B.It made the world fall in horror.
C.It welcomed audience with plants to come. D.It gave plants opportunities to enjoy music.
【2】What does the underlined word “conceived” mean in the second paragraph?
A.Hated. B.Enjoyed. C.Put forward. D.Turned down.
【3】Which statement may Eugenio Ampudia agree with?
A.We didn’t do very well in dealing with nature. B.The healthcare workers were more important.
C.The plants should have the equal rights. D.We did everything in a wrong way.
【4】In which column of a magazine can this text be read?
A.Daily Hero. B.Teens’ Life.
C.New Technology. D.Art Around the World.

23、Kindness is seen as a true strength, and the success of civilizations relies on kindness. As parents and teachers, we also teach children from a young age to “be kind to one another” and “treat others the way you want to be treated.”
In addition to being helpful to our interpersonal relationships, research has shown that kindness can even contribute to our well-being. According to the Mayo Clinic, when we perform acts of kindness, the pleasure center in our brain is activated, releasing the stress-reducing hormone (激素) Individuals who volunteer on a regular basis report greater life satisfaction. And what is even greater is that kindness rarely stops with just one person. There can be a positive contagion (扩散) effect, where other people are motivated to be nice if they receive a random act of kindness. The question then arises: Could kindness be harmful to us when it has such clear benefits? Let’s think about this in the workplace or in an organization.
You are the new person on the team and you want to be well-liked and respected by your colleagues. You are a kind person and tell your team, “Let me know how I can help you; I’m always available to help. ”Though you may truly mean this, there are unfortunately people in this world who can see your kindness as a weakness. This can lead to you being taken advantage of by others.
Let’s fast forward a year. You have been in your position now for one year, and you are working with the same team. You are noticing that your colleagues continue asking for your help over and over again. In fact, the only time they communicate with you is when they need something. You have been so helpful to your colleagues and there has rarely been any return from them.
In a very broad sense, it is advantageous to be kind to others, and your kind acts will be appreciated and, perhaps, paid forward. However, you need to be willing to say “no”. Recognize when your plate is already too full. When people ask you a favor, assess if you have the time, energy, and attention to give to them. To truly be kind, sometimes you need to be more comfortable saying “no” to others and saying “yes” to yourself.
【1】What has the Mayo Clinic found concerning kindness?
A．It does good to our mind.
B．It reduces hormone levels.
C．It adds years to people’s life.
D．It leads to the success of civilizations.
【2】What might the new person feel one year later?
A．Grateful.
B．Bored.
C．Disappointed.
D．Energetic.
【3】What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A．When you’re too full to eat anything.
B．When your kind acts get appreciated.
C．When you should ask others a favor.
D．When you’re physically and mentally tired.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Your kindness counts for your well-being!
B．Are we tiring ourselves with kindness?
C．Why are random acts of kindness important?
D．Never underestimate the power of kindness at work!
