26、If you have a chance to talk with a historical figure, who would you like it to be? What would you like to know about the past or share from today? China in the Classics, a new TV show based on Chinese classics started by China Central Television (CCTV) in February, is exploring such possibilities.

In the first episode, the host of the show, Sa Beining, meets ancient Confucian scholar Fu Sheng, who interpreted Shangshu — The Book of Documents. Regarded as one of the five classics of ancient Chinese Confucianism masterpieces, the book records many firsts in the country. Even the expression zhongguo (China) is used there first.

The episode ends with the host bringing Fu to today’s modern society, where the scholar is happy to find children learning the same things he had learned in his childhood. It increased the rating of the series with viewers giving it 9 out of 10 on Douban, a film and TV show reviewing website popular among young people.

The success of China in the Classics doesn’t surprise Shen Haixiong, head of the China Media Group. Shen said in an article in the journal Qiushi, “We are happy to see the program is popular among the public, but we are prouder to find that innovative interpretation of Chinese classics is arousing young people’s interest in Chinese culture.”

Therefore, TV channels have been making bold attempts in recent years to attract today’s younger generations. The Nation’s Greatest Treasures, CCTV’s cultural show in 2017, showcased China’s history and culture through antiques in the top-class museums, and fired up the audience. The treasures include the 3,300-year-old Yinxu Ruins in Henan Province and the 1,300-year-old Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region.

CCTV should make a variety of programs showcasing classics and cultural traditions to appeal to the young generation’s aesthetics, said Zhou, a professor at the School of Arts and Communication, Beijing Normal University.

27、Organic food (有机食品) is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non­organic food. Some parents and pet owners pay up to 200 percent more for organic food while some people think organic food is a waste of money.

There is one main difference between organic and nonorganic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). This makes sure that the products are natural.

Some people think “organic” means “locally grown”. At the beginning, this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren’t enough organic materials. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.

Is organic food more nutritious (有营养的)? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers (消费者) believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems, such as cancer. Many health experts disagree. Few studies prove that organic food prevents health problems. Health experts worry more about bacteria (细菌). These can come into contact with organic and non­organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.

Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.

【1】What is probably the major concern(关注) of organic food consumers?

A．Price.

B．Safety.

C．Freshness.

D．Variety.

【2】What is the doctors’ suggestion?

A．Grow your own food.

B．Reduce the use of pesticides.

C．Make sure the food is clean.

D．Buy large companies’ products.

A．It tastes better.

B．It is easier to grow.

C．It contains more fat.

D．It is more nutritious.

A．A health magazine.

D．A menu of a restaurant.

28、A teenager has realized her dream of becoming a model—just three years after a terrible car crash left her with a broken back. Marita Davies was in a wheelchair for a year and had to learn to walk, after she suffered terrible injuries as a passenger in a car driven by a drunk driver.

Marita feared her dream of a modeling career was over but just three years on, she is now in the running to be crowned Miss Great Britain. She said, "I was horrified when I learned the full extent of my injuries. I thought my dream of becoming a model was over. My leg was seriously injured and my back was broken. The crash had broken my confidence and I withdrew into myself. I was 16, and at that age all I wanted to do was go out with my friends."

But when she finally came out of the wheelchair, she turned a corner. Marita decided she would still try to follow her dreams, and sent some photos off to some modeling agencies. She did a few unpaid jobs while studying at college and soon, paid commercial modeling jobs started coming in. Marita was a bit doubtful at first, because the crash has left her with huge scars on her leg and back. She was worried people wouldn't want her to model for them, but it's not true.

Marita has done amazingly well to overcome everything, which has been thrown at her in the last three years. Within months of learning to walk again, Marita was signed up for advertising campaigns. She has also appeared in a TV ad. Marita was crowned Miss Nottingham City earlier this year, and is now competing against 59 other girls to be crowned Miss Great Britain.

I am Andrew. My best friend Matthew has stopped talking to me. We have been best friends since childhood and play together in the school football team.

Afterwards, I got really angry with him, and I told him I thought he was not trying hard enough. He got annoyed, saying it wasn’t his fault even if he couldn’t play as well as me, and that I shouldn’t talk to him in this manner. Then we both started shouting at each other and it turned into a horrible argument.

Since we argued, he hasn’t spoken to me even though we sit next to each other in class. It’s really awkward. He is usually cheerful and outgoing, but he has been really quiet and looks sad. The things he said hurt me too, but he has not apologized to me.

One day, we met at the school door.
