Last year I was the exchange student in the UK, and attended one of the Chinese culture course there. When I walked into the classroom, I was welcomed by curiously faces. They gave me presents, which moved and excited me. The lesson was about an ancient Chinese calligraphy naming xiao zhuan. The teacher explained it origin, how it worked in society, why it was promoted nationwide. After class, I felt proud of our Chinese culture but ashamed of that I knew almost nothing about them. As a senior high school student, I am going to read so many books as I can to open my mind. I hope every Chinese would understand the importance of learning about our own culture.

The search for beauty spans centuries and continents. Paintings of Egyptians dating back over

4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.

There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive: beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier.

But what exactly is beauty? It’s difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.

The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits—the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders—equal health and genetic well-being.

Not everyone thinks the same way. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin, but is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide? Scientists’ answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.

For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder (观看者).

1.People’s ideas about beauty__________.

A.can be easily described

B.are based upon strict criteria

C.have existed since ancient times

D.have little influence on a person’s success

2.In Paragraph 3,the babies in the study__________.

A.were rated for their appearance

B.showed a preference for women with larger eyes

C.were shown photos of a group of college students

D.were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones

3.We can learn from the passage that__________.

A.the ideas of beauty vary as people grow up

B.the standards for beauty are based on scientific researches

C.the search for beauty is the power to motivate the beholder

D.the understanding of beauty is rooted in cultural backgrounds

4.What can probably be the best title for this passage?

A.The History of Beauty

B.The Mystery of Beauty

C.The Standards for Beauty

D.The Attitudes toward Beauty

    We already know that exercise is good for our bodies. Daily exercise fights the loss of muscle tone and flexibility that tends to increase slowly with age. And it turns out that it has the same fountain-of-youth effects on our brains.

Studies show that over time our minds also become less nimble. We lose the ability to process new information or switch between mental tasks quickly — and now we know why.

A recent study examined nearly 100 individual studies on exercise and brain function and discovered exercising an average of 52 hours over six months is “associated with improved cognitive (认知的) performance in older adults with and without cognitive damage.” The type of exercises that are beneficial include aerobic, strength-training and mind-body exercises like yoga or tai chi.

In previous studies, researchers from Japan’s University of Tsukuba wanted to explore this idea by looking at the effect of exercise on the weakening of the brain. They tested the oxygen ability of 60 Japanese men between the ages of 64 and 75 who did not show any signs of dementia (痴呆) or other mental symptoms. Next, they looked at the brain activity of each man as he completed a mental task. They found that the fitter a participant was, the less brain power he used to complete the tasks when compared with his out-of-shape peers, which made him more efficient.

Although much research is focused on how exercise may benefit an aging brain, exercise offers brain health benefits at almost any age, and this includes children. A review of 14 studies showed that more physically active schoolchildren do better academically. Exercise actually causes your brain to grow in size. So get moving and keep moving for best results.

1.The underlined word “nimble” in Paragraph 2 most probably means__________.

A.dull-witted B.single-minded

C.absent-minded D.quick-witted

2.What can we infer about the participants’ less-active peers?

A.They had significant brain advantages.

B.Their brains were younger than their age.

C.Their cognitive performance would decline.

D.They had a quick mind when doing the task.

3.How does the author support his idea?

A.By making comparisons.

B.By analyzing study results.

C.By describing the processes.

D.By telling peers’experiences.

4.What’s the main idea of the text?

A.Exercise is beneficial for your bodies.

B.Exercise can benefit your brain health.

C.Exercise is especially good for dementia.

D.Exercise may lower your risk of mental problems.

    Filmmaker Jennifer Nelson was sued (起诉) for $1,500 for having a song “Happy Birthday to You” sung in the movie she’s making. The money went to Warner Music Group, a company that claims to own the copyright on the song. A copyright is the legal right to use or sell a creative product such as a song, a TV show, a book, or a work of art. Warner has claimed the copyright for “Happy Birthday to You” since 1988.

“I never thought the song was owned by anyone,” Nelson said in an e-mail to The New York Times. “I thought it belonged to everyone.”

Nelson’s movie is a documentary—a film that uses pictures and/or interviews with people to create a factual report of real-life events—and is actually about the history of the “Happy Birthday” song itself.

Two sisters named Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a song called “Good Morning to All” in 1893. Over a short period of time, people began to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in place of the original lyrics to the tune of the Hill sisters’ song.

A number of history experts say that there is no record of who actually wrote the “Happy Birthday to You” lyrics. Historians also say there is no way to know when the general public began singing the “Happy Birthday” song, but they believe it had been sung by the public long before it was printed and owned by a company.

Nelson’s lawyers say this piece of music’s history proves that “Happy Birthday to You” belongs to everyone in the general public. That would mean Warner Music Group has no right to charge anyone a fee to sing the song in any setting.

Experts estimate that Warner/Chappell, the publishing division of the Warner Music Group, has made about $2 million a year from licensing fees for “Happy Birthday to You.” Nelson’s lawyers are asking a court in New York City to order Warner/Chappell to return fees they have collected over the past four years for use of the “Happy Birthday” song.

1.Why did Warner Music Group sue Jennifer Nelson?

A.Because she sold “Happy Birthday to You” for money.

B.Because she secretly used “Happy Birthday to You” song in her film.

C.Because she didn’t own the copyright on “Happy Birthday to You” song.

D.Because she used the “Happy Birthday to You” song without permission.

2.How was the “Happy Birthday” song produced?

A.Someone replaced “happy birthday to you” in the song.

B.It was written by Mildred as a gift for her sister’s birthday in 1893.

C.It was created by someone who used the tune of “Good Morning to All”.

D.People were asked to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in the movie.

3.The history experts’ statement can prove that the “Happy Birthday” song__________.

A.has always been very popular B.was definitely released by the public

C.does not belong to Warner Music Group D.has more than 32 years’ history since 1988

4.If the court supports the claim from Nelson’s lawyers,__________.

A.Warner will return about $8 million B.she can obtain the copyright on the song

C.Warner will have to pay her for her damage D.she can sell the song for about$2 million a year

    Elephants are truly incredible animals. August 12 is World Elephant Day which means to help save elephants. What do you know about elephants? Here are some facts you may not know.

We know that elephants are large. But did you know that elephants often avoid eating a type of acacia tree(金合欢树), because it is home to ants and an elephant doesn’t want to get the ants inside its trunk. Its trunk is full of sensitive nerve endings(敏感神经末梢).

Female elephants live in groups of about 15 animals. The oldest in the group is the leader. She decides not only when and where they move but also when they rest all the year. Male elephants leave the female groups between age 12 and 15. But they aren’t loners. They live in all-male groups.

Asian elephants don’t run. Running requires lifting all four feet at once. But elephants filmed in Thailand always kept at least two on the ground at all times.

Elephants have passed the mirror test. They recognize themselves in a mirror. According to tests, great apes(巨猿), and dolphins(海豚) also have this ability.

Elephants can get sunburned so they take care to protect themselves. “Elephants will throw sand on their backs and on their head to keep them from getting sunburned and to keep bugs off,” said Tony Barthel, working at Smithsonian’s National Zoo. How do elephants protect their young? Adult elephants will put them in sand and then they will stand over the little ones as they sleep.

Some farmers in Kenya protect their fields from elephants by lining the borders with beehives(蜂巢). Not only are their crops saved, but the farmers also get more money from honey.

1.World Elephant Day is designed to________.

A.show some facts about elephants B.call on people to protect elephants

C.tell people some animals are in danger D.introduce Asian elephants features

2.Why are elephants not willing to eat acacia trees?

A.Elephants are sensitive to acacia trees.

B.Acacia trees are too tall to reach.

C.Fruits on the acacia trees are hard to eat.

D.Elephants’trunks are easily hurt by ants in the trees.

3.What do we infer about male elephants?

A.They live with female elephants at an early age.

B.They decide when and where their groups move.

C.Their oldest male elephant is chosen as their leader.

D.They can run faster than female elephants.

4.How do elephants protect their young kids?

A.Put some sand on kids’heads. B.Guard kids when kids sleep.

C.Pat kids’backs from time to time. D.Use their trunks to keep bugs off.

    In a country known for high-tech ambitions and giant state-owned firms, the plight of street hawkers may seem insignificant. But in China these days, people like Shui Jin, an old lady riding a wooden cart filled with fruit, are in the spotlight.

Faced with rising unemployment, officials have concluded that pavement stands can help solve the economy’s problems. Shui Jin, who used to face the danger of heavy fines, may sell her fruit with more confidence as she slowly makes her way through the narrow lanes of Suzhou. Her family needs the money. Both her daughters-in-law recently lost their jobs, among the tens of millions in China hurt by the coronavirus outbreak.

The government’s support for street hawkers is something of an about-turn. For years Municipal authorities pushed out hawkers, trying to tidy up the colourful chaos that once characterized China’s cities. In the name of “civilizing” urban life, they wanted to see dumplings, plastic toys and T-shirts bought inside shopping malls, not sold from the back of carts. But on June 1st Li Keqiang, the prime minister, signalled a change. Stopping by a snack stand in the city of Yantai, he declared that street hawkers and small shops were vital to the economy. “Only when the people are in good shape can the nation be in good shape,” he said.

Mr. Li’s compliment has produced a feeling of excitement about the revival of China’s “street- stand economy”. At least 27 provinces and cities have announced that they will create markets for hawkers or, in some cases, let them move their things being sold onto the pavement in front of their shops. The shining example is Chengdu, a busy and noisy city in Sichuan province in the south-west, where businesses started setting up street stands in March. The local government there claims that more than 10000 jobs have been created in the process.

1.According to the passage, street hawkers in China used to_________.

A.clean the street B.be in the spotlight

C.run a shop D.be given heavy fines

2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase “an about-turn” in Paragraph 3?

A.a local government B.a complete change

3.Why did the prime minister say street hawkers and small shops were vital to the economy?

A.They can make few jobs created for the unemployed people.

B.They can make the people and the nation in good shape.

C.They can make people like Shui Jin selling their fruit.

D.They can make the city tidy and noisy.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A.China turns to once-banned hawkers to revive its economy.

B.China’s street-stand economy has a long history.

C.China has high-tech ambitions and giant state-owned firms.

D.China is now faced with rising unemployment.

    Shawn Dromgoole is a 29-year-old black man who has lived in the same neighborhood his entire life. His family has been in the neighborhood for 54 years. But Dromgoole said that since he was a child, he felt an unease in his hometown, strongly aware that few people looked like him.

“Growing up in my neighborhood, I could always feel the eyes, the looks and the cars slowing down as they passed by me, ” said Dromgoole, who was recently told to stay away from his job temporarily because of the epidemic (疫情) .

As a young man, Dromgoole watched from his window as the neighborhood gradually changed before his eyes: Black families moved out and white families moved in. With each passing year, he felt more and more unwelcome, he said.

Those feelings grew in recent weeks when he heard about Ahmaud Arbery, a black man who was out jogging in Georgia when he was shot to death, and then George Floyd, a black man killed while in police custody (羁押) in Minneapolis. “What happened to these men could easily happen to me,” said Dromgoole. “I became scared to walk past my porch.”

There were also frequent postings on Nextdoor, an app that connects neighbors, warning residents to look out for “suspicious black men,” he said. Filled with fear, Dromgoole took to Facebook and Nextdoor, deciding to finally share his own post. “Yesterday, I wanted to walk around my neighborhood but the fear of not returning home to my family alive kept me on my front porch,” he wrote.

Unexpectedly, responses from his community started pouring in. Neighbors, none of whom Dromgoole had ever spoken with, asked if they could join him on a walk. “Neighbor, after neighbor, after neighbor started reaching out, telling me they wanted to walk with me,” he said.

Last Thursday afternoon, Dromgoole notified his neighbors that he was going for a walk at 6 p. m, and anyone who wanted to join him was welcome.

Dromgoole tied his shoes, ventured (冒险) off his porch and walked to the meeting spot in a nearby parking lot.

There he found 75 people waiting for him.
