26、Michelle was a student at University of California, Los Angeles. She is here to tell us how she feels about the city.
What were the best things about Los Angeles?
One of my favorite things about Los Angeles is the weather. I hate the cold and it never really gets that cold there. Plus, most of the time it’s usually sunny, which is good because I love going to the beach during the summer. There’s so much to do at the beach, but my favorite thing in L.A. was having a picnic on the sand with my friends.
What were the worst things about being there?
I disliked having to drive everywhere to get around because the city is so spread out. Los Angeles has a lot of traffic and sometimes it takes a long time to get somewhere close by just because the streets are so crowded. Also, a lot of people complain about the pollution.
Did you have any problems there?
Just the normal problems of living in any city, like watching out for pickpockets (扒手). Some people think Los Angeles has a lot of crime, but I think it’s as safe as any other city. Also, many people think driving is difficult because there is a lot of traffic and road rage (路怒症), but it just takes a little practice and a lot of patience.
What are the people like in Los Angeles?
There are all types of people in Los Angeles since the city is pretty diverse. For the most part, though, most of the people are friendly, calm and relaxed. Some people say that everyone in Los Angeles is beautiful, but I think that’s just a stereotype (模式化的印象).
Would you go back to Los Angeles?
Certainly. Los Angeles is one of my favorite cities in the world. I love the fact that it has all the nightlife and shopping of a big city, but also has access to beaches, parks, mountains and other places you can’t usually find in large cities. Between the weather and the beaches and all the fun things to do, it’s a great place to be.

27、When girls play with cars, they're serious. It was at primary school that Gu Huijing first became interested in cars after watching some car-themed movies. Born in 2004 in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, Gu decided to major in automobiles (汽车) when she was in junior high.
She's driven by interest, but she is also a realist. “I think the future of the automobile industry is bright because we cannot live without food, clothes, houses and cars,” she said.
In April, she won first prize at a competition for vehicle maintenance (车辆维修) in Dongguan city, which drew 33 teams from different cities across the province.
“I thought it couldn't be that hard to repair cars when I started to take courses, but I was totally wrong,” Gu said. When she started learning in 2019, she was frequently confused by various problems. “And competition within our school is intense, so I had to work extra hard,” she said.
Her teacher once tried to persuade her to give up as she was a sophomore (大二学生), and wasn't as knowledgeable as the seniors, and no women had ever been selected for the competition before. “But I insisted that I would carry on,” she said. Finally, her training and hard work won her the only place to stand for her school at the competition.
A woman winning first prize in a vehicle maintenance competition became a hot topic on-line, causing heated discussions over gender (性别) and career choices. “Women should not be influenced by old-fashioned thinking, and should do whatever it takes to discover their interests and strengths. There are more possibilities out there,” one netizen wrote.
Gu said, “Many people think vehicle maintenance is a job for men. That's wrong. I don't think gender has anything to do with choice of jobs.” “I have a goal and I will work harder to make it happen,” she added. “I will be responsible for my choices.”
【1】What was a cause of Gu's choosing automobiles as her major?
A.The love for automobiles.
B.The guidance from her parents.
C.The high popularity of automobiles.
D.The determination to contribute to society.
【2】Why did Gu's teacher advise her to quit the competition?
A.She lacked the knowledge related to it.
B.She had never taken part in a competition before.
C.She was unlikely to win the competition.
D.Women were not allowed to enter the competition.
【3】Which of the following best describes Gu Huijing?
A.Creative and caring.
B.Determined and hard-working.
C.Independent and humorous.
D.Honest and courageous.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.There Is No End To Learning
B.Teenage Girl Wins Car Repair Contest
C.Vehicle Maintenance Catches On
D.Taking Challenge Leads To Success
28、China is witnessing fewer people tie the knot over the past few years, especially since the Outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. 【1】
A decline in the number of people of marriageable age is one of the reasons behind falling marriage registrations and marriage rate in China. 【2】 Delayed marriage is another driver of the decline in the marriage rate. From 2010 to 2020, the average age for Chinese women’s first marriage rose from 24 to 27.95, up almost four years in 10 years.
【3】 From 2000 to 2020, the number of Chinese women who received higher education rose from 16.87 million to 154.6 million. Women who receive higher education tend to delay plans to marry and raise a family. 【4】They are less financially dependent on their partners and have higher expectation of the quality of marriage and their partners. This makes them marry later in life, consequently raising the proportion of unmarried Chinese women. Moreover, fierce competition in the job market has made the younger generation put off marriage until they are older, if not give up the idea.
The Chinese government is paying growing attention to the phenomenon of delayed marriages and the declining marriage rate. 【5】
A.There are some reasons for this phenomenon.
B.It has taken some measures to address these issues.
C.The COVID-19 pandemic has changed some people’s attitude to marriage.
D.Looking ahead, the Chinese society will embrace all sorts of arrangements concerning marriage.
E.Also, as their incomes rise and awareness grows, Chinese women change their perspective about marriage and family life.
F.Better opportunities for women to receive higher education and work have made them delay plans to marry and raise a family.
G.From 1980 to 1989, the average annual birth stood at 22.09 million persons while from 1990 to 1999, the figure declined to 20.85 million.
29、 Constantin Levaditi was born in Galati, Romania in 1874. His family was poor and his father was a Greek immigrant who worked in the Galati port and his mother was Romanian. When he was only six years old he had to start working in a shop as both of his parents fell ill. His job was to deliver orders from his uncle’s shop.
After two years his parents died and he was taken into care by one of his relatives who worked as a nurse in a hospital. His relative noticed that he was very smart and sent him to school.
