24、   It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion(激情) is to life.

That day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the library. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my attention. It was a man dressed in rags(破旧衣服).He was homeless. That didn't interest me, for I had seen many like him before.

But in some way he was different. This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing he had.

“Mum, why does that man have a radio even though he's homeless？” I asked.

“He bought it,” she answered. I was still confused.

“But if he's homeless, why doesn't he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn't need.”

“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren't the most important things. We need happiness, too.”

That man must care enough about music, so he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the key to life. Without it, there's nothing to expect. A passion gives a person the feeling of happiness they need to keep going.

Since then I've never spent a day without thinking of what's truly important. A home, a meal，clothes—these things are not the only things that make up our lives. What's often forgotten is that we all need a joy, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion.

【1】Where did Sarah see the homeless man?

A.At the library. B.At a red light.

C.At a music hall. D.At a radio station.

【2】What was the man doing when Sarah saw him?

A.He was eating some food. B.He was buying a radio.

C.He was sitting down sadly. D.He was dancing to the music.

【3】The underlined word “precious” in the passage means “________”．

A.loved and important B.old and cheap

C.loved but unimportant D.expensive but unnecessary

【4】What the homeless man did made Sarah ________ at first.

A.bored B.crazy C.confused D.interested

【5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.In general，homeless people like music very much.

B.Homeless people can also afford a radio.

C.We should care about music rather than food or clothes.

D.A passion for something can make a person live happily.

27、   Cultural relics (文物) carry rich history. But sometimes, they seem like something that only older people enjoy. Recently, a CCTV show about cultural relics has taken young people by storm. It’s called National Treasure. The show has been highly praised on Bilibili.com. This website is believed to be China’s biggest pop culture website for young people. So how can a show about relics from hundreds or even thousands of years ago attract so many young viewers?

The show’s 10 episodes show 27 treasures from nine museums across China. Instead of telling the stories and history behind them, the show invites famous actors to act out these stories on stage.

Actor Wang Kai plays Emperor Qianlong on the show. He meets ancient artists as well as his father, Emperor Yongzheng, in a dream. They criticize Qianlong’s taste in such fancy designs. But Qianlong argues by saying that this kind of design is the best way to show the prosperity (繁荣) of his time.

This soon became a hot topic online. Internet users also compared pictures of vases from the times of Qianlong (1736-1796) and Yongzheng (1678-1735).

The stars might be part of the reason that young viewers enjoy the show. But it is still the treasures themselves that are the main focus. “The treasures make me so proud of our country and culture”, an Internet user wrote on Sina Weibo. “After watching the show, I want to visit all the museums in China,” wrote another user.

【1】What makes the young more interested in cultural relics?

A.Rich History. B.CCTV.

C.National Treasure. D.The museums.

【2】Where do the young people enjoy seeing pop culture?

A.On TV. B.On Bilibili.com.

C.On Sina Weibo. D.In the museums.

【3】Who criticize Qianlong’s taste in such fancy designs?

A.Internet users. B.Wang Kai and the old people.

C.Emperor Yongzheng and young viewers. D.Ancient artists and Emperor Yongzheng.

【4】Which of the following can be the reason why people enjoy the show?

A.The show is highly praised on CCTV.

B.The show tells the stories and history behind 27 treasures.

C.The show persuades young people to visit all the museums in China.

D.The show invites famous actors to act out stories and history on stage.
