26、The Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific are the four oceans we learned about in the geography class. But now we have a new ocean. On World Oceans Day, which falls on June 8, 2021, the US National Geographic Society, a non-profit scientific and educational organization, announced it would recognize the Southern Ocean in Antarctica, bringing the global total to five.
Unlike the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans which are defined (划分) by the continents that bound them, the Southern Ocean is instead characterized by the Antarctic ocean currents and temperatures. According to the National Geographic, the Southern Ocean includes most of the waters surrounding Antarctica out to 60 degrees south latitude.
Those familiar with the Southern Ocean know it's unlike any other. “Anyone who has been there will struggle to explain what's so fascinating about it, but they'll all agree that the glaciers are bluer, the air colder, the mountains more mysterious and the landscapes more beautiful than anywhere else you can go,” Seth Sykora-Bodie, a marine (海洋) scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told National Geographic.
Due to the ecologically distinct environment of the Southern Ocean, it's home to thousands of unique species. The ocean also has wider ecological effects. National Geographic hopes their revised maps will bring public awareness to the region, thereby encouraging Southern Ocean conservation—but its significance is beyond that. “We think it's really important from an educational standpoint, as well as from a map-labeling standpoint, to bring attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean,” Alex Tait, National Geographic Society geographer, told The Post. “So when students learn about parts of the ocean world, they learn it's an interconnected ocean, and they learn there are these regions called oceans that are really important, and there's a distinct one in the icy waters around Antarctica.”
【1】What was special about World Oceans Day in 2021?
A.US National Geographic Society announced a study.
B.Another ocean besides the four oceans was recognized.
C.Students could know about the interconnected ocean.
D.It strengthened the marine environmental protection.
【2】What does Seth Sykora-Bodie think of the Southern Ocean?
A.Unique.
B.Rich.
C.Crowded.
D.Vast.
【3】What is the significance of rewriting maps?
A.Making the world maps more believable.
B.Acquiring geographical knowledge correctly.
C.Knowing the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean.
D.Having a better understanding of the five oceans.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.The Southern Ocean and Other Four Oceans
B.The Southern Ocean's Amazing Environment
C.The Southern Ocean: Well Worth Visiting Once More
D.The Southern Ocean: Probably to be the Fifth Ocean

29、Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mum, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”
Mum never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
That night I told Mum about it. She hugged me, and___________________The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, mum looked carefully at the bars.

I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs; I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.
One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mum came into my room. “Mum,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”
For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking.

CULTURE AND CUISINE
The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once wrote, “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are. ” Put more simply, this means “You are what you eat. ” Most people today relate this s 【1】 to healthy eating. However, Brillat- Savarin was a 【2】 referring to our personality, character, and c【3】.
Certainly, in many ways this seems to be t【4】. Chinese cuisine is a case in point. P 【5】 to coming to China, my only experience with Chinese cooking was in America, with Chinese food that had been changed to suit American t 【6】. For example, America’s most popular Chinese dish is General Tso’s chicken, which consists of fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce, flavoured with hot red p【7】. This is probably not an authentic Chinese r 【8】, however, so it cannot tell us much about the Chinese. On the other hand, it does tell us a lot about Americans. It tells us, for example, that Americans love bold, simple flavours. And, since the dish was also i 【9】 recently, it tells us that Americans are not a 【10】 to try new foods.
