1、阅读短文，将文中划线部分译成汉语或英语。

Baby panda says hello to the world

1.The helmet (头盔) made of ice makes the mascot in fashion. It looks like a spaceman in a space.

Bing Dwen Dwen waves its left hand to say hello. There are two red hearts in the hand, showing its kindness and love. A group of lines with different colors around its head look like the tracks (赛道) on an ice rink. 2.它们组成了五个圆圈。 They also stand for fast 5 G signals (信号)。

Three years ago, Bing Dwen Dwen became the mascot (吉祥物) for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. The design comes from 5, 816 works from 38 countries and areas. Cao Xue, the chief designer (设计师) of Bing Dwen Dwen, said the idea first came from the traditional Chinese snack bingtanghulu. 3.But a simple snack couldn’t stand for a country by itself. Cao’s team tried many animals and plants and finally decided on a panda.

However, there were already too many cartoon images of pandas. Cao first decided that it should be a baby panda instead of an adult one, 4.因此它的身体和它的头是一样的长。

Cao’s team looked all over the world to collect all the panda designs they could find. They wanted to make sure their panda looked special. They visited the panda nature reserve in Wolong, Sichuan, to get ideas. They found that baby pandas are pigeon-toed (内八字) and often lean in while standing. Now the panda in an ice shell is made into toys and models, as well as printed on notebooks, badges (徽章) and bags. People of all ages like them very much. “5.Design is like dancing with chains. I’m glad we performed a good dance.” Cao said.

25、   There are ups and downs in life. Whatever the situation is, you shouldn't lose your joy of life. Life is for a limited(有限的) period only and no one knows how long he/she will live, so why do you waste your precious(宝贵的）time in worrying about the things that are beyond(超出) your control? Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally(无条件地）.

You enjoy good days but you also need to learn how to enjoy bad days, even enjoy your pain. In 2018 when I was in Geneva, Switzerland, I suffered(遭受) a sudden heart attack. My friends called an ambulance(救护车）and I was taken to hospital with much pain in my chest. Before reaching hospital, I was exhausted(筋疲力尽的）with pain and was going to lose control of my emotions. Then the doctor in the ambulance said, "Don't worry, you are in safe hands." His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it's time to be happy that my life was safe. At that time, I knew that in pain there is a hidden joy and whoever sees the bright side can enjoy pain. My pain turned into a joy which greatly helped me recover（恢复） more quickly than expected.

You not only enjoy success but you also need to learn to enjoy failure(失败). Failure provides you with a chance to benefit (受益) from so many choices you've made. Celebrating failure will raise your morale and make you more powerful and determined (决定，决心）to achieve success. We all make mistakes in life but only the brave people not only laugh at their own mistakes but also let other people laugh at them and then they reach success without any spiritual burden (精神负担). A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor is the most wisest person and really enjoys his/her life.

27、Love, joy, and the warm feeling of pulling together to get through tough times don’t cost a thing. But gifts do cost money. So, what’s a poor family to do?

When Christmas season rolled around, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a pogo stick. However, my mother told me they were too expensive and that we simply couldn’t afford one.

On a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before Christmas, my mom and dad told me we needed to go to Sears to pay our credit card bill. While my mother and I were paying the bill, my dad said, “I’ll be right back — I need to see something in the tool department.” A little later, my dad came back with a long box. I remember wondering at that moment if there was a pogo stick in that box.

When we got home, my dad put the box in the garage. While my parents were busy with their chores, I quietly walked out to the garage and found the box. I hoped a pogo stick would be inside — but when I opened it, there was just an old broom. And so it looked like Christmas morning would be disappointing.

But after all the wrapping paper was cleaned up, my dad said he needed to tend to something in the garage. When he came back in, he was carrying a beautiful pogo stick. I couldn’t believe it!

My parents probably got quite a laugh from the trick they played on me.

Although we didn’t have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all: lots of love. My dad worked hard to support our family and my mother knew how to stretch a dollar. That was over 60 years ago and I still think about those wonderful Christmas memories every year during the holiday season. My parents were the best and I will never forget all the joy they brought into my life.

28、   It was August in Paris. Most people were out of the city, enjoying their summer holiday. The streets were e【1】 and restaurants were closed.

But on a Saturday morning at 9 a.m., I was standing in a queue. I was waiting to see Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, the world's most famous artwork. I bought the ticket in advance. However, by the time I arrived at the Louvre（卢浮宫）, there had been a very long l【2】.

It took me around 30 minutes to pass the security check. As I entered the museum, I found the second airport-style queue of the day. The queue moved forward s【3】 and silently. It's just like a trip to lKEA. You have to be patient because it takes much time to move forward. However, you have to walk, eyes-down, past lots of sofas and tables before you reach what you need.

The only sign the Mona Lisa was c【4】 was a forest of security officers. Only ten people were allowed to view the painting at a time. A poster outside the pen（围栏）warned. "The Mona Lisa has many admirers. Please keep you visit short and sweet to give e【5】 a chance to meet her."

"How short is short and sweet?" I wondered. Very short, it turned out.

My watch clocked only 22 seconds from entering the pen before two staff members told me it was time to g【6】. "One photo and leave," they said. I tried to take a selfie, but an arm quickly came to guide me onwards. Behind me, the queue moved forward, ten by ten, to take a photo and leave.

I was almost a【7】 as I admired the other artworks in the Louvre. I couldn't help wondering: Why are there so many people to see the Mona Lisa and so few to see the other artworks? Are we really going to appreciate the famous artworks or are we just "checking in" at the "popular" attractions?
