26、 It’s not possible to stay together with loved ones all the time. Sometimes family members have to be far away from each other. During that time, they might face something terrible. Although we know what they are suffering, being far away makes it harder to help and comfort loved ones. There is no use worrying a lot about them. Instead, keeping a positive attitude of support is more helpful than getting into worrying about the person. I think it is what I can do to help my loved ones.
My daughter has been working full-time during summer about 10 hours a day. She has to study hard for a big entrance exam. At first, like most people, I wanted to try to solve the problems and try to explain the situation. Was there a better way of time management? Was there a better way of studying for this test? However, that was not always helpful. Sometimes, it even gave more pressure to her. Sometimes it might sound like there was something wrong to improve However, it was just tiring at the end of the day. What would be the kind thing to do in this situation? It was hard to read someone’s mind. I decided to just chat with her online and to send a hug emoji (表情符号) this time. It seemed more suitable than talking about solutions. Giving space can also be an act of help, comfort and kindness
It is fun and meaningful experiment to actively think about kind things to do rather than let it happen naturally. I’ve realized it and I’m grateful for this chance to share online. Give it a try too and you’ll enjoy sweetness.

27、 Despite the corona-virus pandemic, NASA and Space X are fueling up a historic flight. In a press conference (新闻发布会),NASA and Space X shared details about the upcoming flight.
Nearly everything about this mission is new, including the touchscreen-equipped Crew Dragon spacecraft, the shiny white spacesuits and the life support systems in the spacecraft. Its control rooms have been reorganized so that the control desks are 2 meters apart from one another to allow the support staff to obey the social distancing rules after the corona-virus pandemic broke out.
NASA astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken make up the crew. They have finished thousands of hours of training for the mission to the International Space Station (ISS), but they said . this crewed flight carries more risk than flying on a previous craft. "The big difference for us is that the vehicle that we' re going on has never flown before with crew," said Behnken. "It's all been walked through, but never with any real danger. ”
As this is a test flight, much of the mission involves running through steps for various emergency situations. The astronauts will test the spacecraft as a lifeboat for ISS astronauts. '"Everything needs to be checked so that future astronauts won' t have to do any emergency steps for the first time during a crisis. " Hurley said. It hasn't yet been decided exactly how long Hurley and Behnken will remain on the ISS before heading home. Their stay will depend on how long it takes to prepare a Space X' s craft for next crewed mission.

28、 What is a challenging book? By calling a book “challenging”, I do not mean books whose language is hard for us to understand, but the ones that challenge and provoke(激起).
Kafka once said that “the only books worth reading are those that bite and kick, not happy books we could write ourselves”. That is what I mean by a “challenging” book. Oliver Twist is not a hard book because everything ends happily. Great Expectations is a “hard” book because Pip forces us to confront our own selfishness. Through Pip’s choices, Dickens forces us to realize that we too often abandon those who have cared for us simply because they do not have money.
The challenging books are books which force us to think deeply about ourselves and our world. Karl Marx’s works are challenging, and so are Adam Smith’s, both bringing great influence on economic and political history. Both thinkers critically analyze our world and lay its faults bare before us. Richard Wright and Dante are both challenging writers because their works force us to see that all is not well in our world. Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room is challenging because it shows us the hurt we suffer when we choose to follow social customs instead of our hearts.
Is there a test that tells us which books are challenging and which are not? No. Most people may read Austen’s Mansfield Park with a smile on their faces, but a reader sensitive to the pains of imperialism (帝国主义) knows that the wonderful society shown in the novel depends upon slavery for its livelihood. I want to end this by stressing that difficulty in terms of books depends on the reader, but that there are some books, by the nature of the author’s genius and the books’ expansive vision, covering so broad a range that they are challenging for almost everyone to read.
【1】What does the underlined words “bite and kick” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Make readers uncomfortable and reflect.
B.Focus on men’s personal life and growth.
C.Remind people of their own struggles.
D.Use complex language and structures.
【2】What can we infer about challenging books from paragraph 3?
A.They don’t have happy endings.
B.They don’t have to be literary works.
C.They combine literature and social sciences.
D.They focus on the negative side of social rules.
【3】What is the writer’s conclusion in the last paragraph?
A.Austen’s Mansfield Park is critical of imperialism.
B.Writers are more important than readers in literature.
C.Challenges in reading come from personal experiences.
D.A book’s broad vision helps contribute to its difficulties.
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A.To show the importance of hard books.
B.To discuss a common theme in literature.
C.To share an understanding of challenging books.
D.To recommend some classic works.

【1】The freedom to use different materials (材料) allows for exploration and experimentation (试验). It allows youth to practice a wide range of skills that are useful not only for life, but also for learning.

He smiled and told me that for 10 years, he had only one thing on his mind to join the army school like his grandfather. “My grandpa was a general of the army. He left me this,” he said __________. He showed me a golden knife and said this was the best __________ of his childhood. “The only thing I know is that I will follow my dream and every day I will be happy.” Soon, the bus reached his stop, he stood up, took all his suitcases, and said goodbye with a big smile.
