26、Armenian musician Astrid Poghosyan, a 28 year-old violinist, takes great pride in the Chinese name she picked for herself, Ma Xingxing. This summer, she has been busy making preparations for a series of in-person and online music events and cultural exchange programs. Poghosyan said she always puts all her energy into the projects which she takes part in, whether they are online or online events, as she believes that every little effort will help her realize her music related dreams.
“I believe music knows no borders (边界), and cultural exchanges through music are especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病),” she said. Having studied and worked in China for 12 years, Poghosyan has now become a real China hand, skilled at the country’s language and culture. Such a multicultural background has certainly helped her stand out at her present job. For Poghosyan, the life she now leads is a far cry from when she first came to China in 2009 to study violin at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. At that time, Poghosyan could not speak a word of Chinese. “And my high-school-level English wasn’t of much help at that time,” she said. “So I decided to learn Chinese to solve the communication problem.”
She has a strong desire for Chinese movies, traditional festivals and history stories, all of which helped her through the difficult language-learning process. As she gradually buried herself in the Chinese language and culture, she also started to make Chinese friends and explore the energetic city life of Shanghai.
“Since I first came to Shanghai, I have always been impressed by the kindness of the people here,” she said. “Even when I couldn’t speak Chinese, in the first days, everyone I met gave me a big smile. Their smiles have made me feel the warmth of the city.”

27、 At a large forest park in eastern Beijing, 11 birds on the state-level protection list were recently released.
These birds had recovered after the Beijing Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center rescued and took care of them. “We will speed up our efforts to push the establishment of district-level wildlife rescue centers to jointly guard the health of wildlife,” said Du Lianhai, director of the center.
The center was set up in 2001 and built a wildlife rescue base in the capital’s Shunyi District in 2005. Staff at the base have rescued and rehabilitated over 30,000 wild animals in total.
Wildlife protection has been strengthened in Beijing in recent years. On June 1, the city’s newly adopted regulation on wildlife protection took effect, introducing stricter and more concrete measures to protect the environment and wildlife.
For example, the regulation states clearly that Beijing bans hunting throughout the year, compared with the previous regulation which bans hunting during the periods of March to May and September to November each year. The new regulation also gives severer punishment for poachers.
After years of monitoring, data with the Beijing Gardening and Greening Bureau recently showed ecological reconstruction progress. The species and quantity of wild animals in Beijing are continuously increasing, with the number of terrestrial spinal wild animals (陆地脊椎野生动物) growing from 461 species in 1994 to more than 500. The habitat of the endangered bird has expanded from Fangshan District to the whole city, according to the bureau.
“The enforcement of the new regulation marked a new phase in Beijing’s wildlife protection work,” said Dai Mingchao, deputy director of the Beijing Gardening and Greening Bureau.
“We will step up the publicity of the regulation and raise citizens’ awareness of wildlife protection,” Dai said. “In our integrated protection of mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes and grasslands, we take into full consideration the requirements of food-chain construction, ecological corridor construction, and wildlife and their habitat protection.”
【1】In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.
A.introduce the topic.
B.present an argument.
C.reach a conclusion.
D.describe a place.
【2】What do we know about the new regulation?
A.It is mainly targeted at poachers.
B.It is the first such regulation in Beijing.
C.It takes many years to come into being.
D.It prohibits people from hunting in Beijing all the year.
【3】What could be the best title for the passage?
A.How to protect wild animals in Beijing.
B.Beijing steps up wildlife protection with new regulation.
C.More district-level wildlife rescue centers established in Beijing.
D.Wildlife protection has been strengthened in Beijing.
28、Ways Your Cell Phone Affects Your Body and Mind
First, some good news. Your phone can keep you safer. A study found that 137 more lives were saved per 100,000 patients when people called 911 from a mobile phone rather than from a fixed one. 【1】
Scanning your phone right before bed can cause sleep disorder. To avoid that, make a habit of not using your phone for at least 30 minutes before you close your eyes.
【2】 People now spend more than five hours a day typing and tapping, and feel eyes achy. About 60 percent of Americans experience discomfort, such as dryness, eye tiredness, and even headaches. Try taking a break from screens every 20 minutes.
When you are awake, a single sound on your phone can signal the coming news. However, this can weaken your ability to focus on a task. 【3】 It can even encourage creative ideas when you are alone. When you’re bored, four different areas of your brain become active and work together to pull in thoughts and combine them in unique ways.
Memory suffers too. 【4】 Instead of relying on the instructions from your phone’s GPS, older adults choose the old way, which increases activity in a part of the brain important for memory. Taking pictures with your phone may also harm your memory.
It would be easy to avoid all these problems by simply putting down your phone. The problem: It isn’t so easy. 【5】 And researches have proved this real. Of course, there are many phone apps to help you control your phone addiction. Or you can just let the battery rundown and forget about it!
A.But there are plenty of worries too.
B.Your phone can do damage to your eyes.
C.Silence your phone or simply put it away can help.
D.Walking with your face in your phone can be dangerous.
E.People may feel painful when separated from their phones.
F.Your hand may feel painful when you hold your phone too long.
G.Using a map and trying to remember it may be better for your brain.
29、 In the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there's a famous saying, "Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get." The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.
A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) but invisible from the outside. You don't know what will be inside,although the toys typically come from pop culture,ranging from movies to comics and cartoons, Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014.According to a 2019Tmall report,the mini-series of Labubu blind box, designed by Hong Kong-born Kasing Lung,was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.
According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines(小塑像) come in very small sizes,making them suitable for display almost anywhere.
Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations, the mystery(神秘) and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It's the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.
“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,”said Miss Cao,24,who lives and works in Shenyang,“Until you open all the boxes,you cannot know what it is inside.”
Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives,something small but fun to wait for each day,week or month. When people open this simple little box,they may be disappointed,but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.
When someone re-makes Forrest Gump,don't be surprised if he says,“Life is like a blind box.”

We can remember events in our c 【1】 because when we experience things for the first time when we were kids, we often have strong feelings of fear or 【2】 (兴奋).
