24、It was a cold and snowy morning after the winter vacation. Actually, it was my first day at my new school. I was walking slowly and worrying about lots of things. It was early and there weren’t many people on the road. A girl on a bike passed me quickly. She was riding on ice when suddenly she fell off her bike a few steps in front of me. She was riding hard to get up but fell again. Without thinking, I went over and helped her stand up. She said “Thank you” with a smile and then rode away. The words “Thank you” warmed me and this small event made me feel less nervous about my new school.

Finally, I got to school. The teacher led me to the classroom and asked me to sit down beside a girl. I was so nervous. I knew some of the students were looking at me but I didn’t dare to look at them. Soon the first class started. It was English. They used a different textbook from my old school and I didn’t have a copy. As I was wondering what to do, a book appeared in front of me. “Let’s share,” the girl next to me said. “And hi, I’m Carrie.” I looked up. It was the girl I helped that morning. What a surprise!

From then on, we became good friends. She was my first and best friend at my new school. Helping her also helped me find a friend.

25、Fan Shenghua, 60, is one of the inheritors (传承人) of the Xihu Longjing tea roasting technique (炒制技艺). His palms tell you everything — they’re thick, rough, and full of calluses (老茧); they are a reminder of more than 40 years of hard work.

“You have to touch the leaves with your hands to see how much water should be left,” Fan said. “If there is not enough water, the leaves will break into pieces; if there is too much water, the tea will taste bitter (苦涩的).”

This traditional technique dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It not only makes sure the tea is good, but is also an important part of Chinese tea culture. “Longjing tea leaves are famous for their color, taste and shape. Only by hand can we make the best of them. It’s like making a work of art,” Fan said.

These days, however, more people are using machines to do the job. “It’s easier, but the quality is not as good,” Fan said. “Machine-made tea floats (漂浮) longer in water and tastes bitter.”

In March, 2020, when President Xi Jinping visited Hangzhou, he watched Fan roast tea leaves. Fan changed the strength and movement of his hands as he felt the tea leaves roasting. President Xi Jinping later said, “The things made by two palms cannot be replaced by modern technology.”

Fan is now training apprentices (学徒). His son, a 27-year-old college graduate, is one of them. “It’s a tradition. We need to pass it down,” said the father.

【1】What does “This traditional technique” refer to?

A．Picking tea leaves.

B．A traditional way of drinking tea.

C．Roasting tea leaves by hand.

D．Using machines to heat tea leaves.

【2】According to Fan, what will happen to tea leaves if they have too much water?

A．They will go bad quickly.

B．They will break into pieces.

C．They will lose their fresh taste.

D．They will have a bitter taste.

【3】What does Fan think of roasting tea leaves with machines?

A．It cannot ensure the quality of the tea.

B．It makes tea leaves heavier.

C．It doesn’t save any energy.

D．It costs more money.

【4】What do we know from the last paragraph?

A．Fan will open his own school.

B．Fan’s son studied tea culture in college.

C．Fan’s son is learning how to roast tea leaves by hand.

D．Fan is making this technique popular worldwide.

26、   Some new rules on traffic came into effect on November 1 in Shenzhen. Some drivers say Shenzhen has become a terrible place for them. Others say that they will soon use up 12 points and lose their driver’s license(驾照), no matter how carefully they drive.

A new rule punishes three hundred yuan(US $32)on anyone who doesn’t use the turning light for at least 3 seconds before changing lines, making a turn or stopping the cars. Drivers say the rule is too strict because it’s impossible for them to count the number of seconds while driving.

The new rules increase some punishments. For example, if the driver doesn’t slow down before passing crossings, he will be fined 500 yuan while 300 yuan was enough in the old rules.

However, the punishment is reasonable and necessary for the city to improve traffic safety and reduce deaths and hurts. Shenzhen has been taking the lead in China to carry out strict traffic rules. It’s worth doing so because traffic accidents have largely dropped over the years.

In 2017. the number of deaths from traffic accidents in Shenzhen reduced to 346 from 416 in 2016. In 2018, the number further dropped to 277, for the first time in 10 years that the yearly traffic death had dropped below 300.

Drivers have shown respect for the new traffic rules – you can see most drivers now give way to people who are crossing the road. The first thing a driver should do when sitting behind the wheel is to think about the human lives that may be lost if he or she doesn’t drive carefully enough, rather than the punishments and points.

【1】What are some drivers’ opinions on the new traffic rules according to the 1st paragraph?

A.They think the new rules are reasonable.

B.They think the new rules are necessary.

C.They think driving will be more exciting.

D.They think driving will be more difficult.

【2】How much more should a driver pay than before if he doesn’t slow down before passing crossings?

A.32 USD. B.300 yuan. C.200 yuan. D.500 yuan.

【3】What’s the writer’s advice to the drivers according to the last paragraph?

A.Drive carefully, or you will be punished.

B.Drive carefully, or you will lose points.

C.Drive carefully, or human lives might be lost.

D.Drive carefully, or driving license might be lost.

【4】On which page of Shenzhen Daily may we most probably read this passage?

A.International. B.Local. C.Sports. D.Music.

International Day for Protecting Consumers’ Rights

Began:1983

Date: March 15 each year

The International Day for Protecting Consumers’ Rights aims to pay special attention to the consumers and remind consumers of their rights（权利）.

The consumers’ rights are legal(合法的） and protected by laws. A consumer shall have the right to get information relating to consumption(消费) and the protection of the rights and interests of consumers. And the whole society shall bear responsibility for the protection of consumers’ legal rights and interests.

There is no doubt that fake(假冒的) and unqualified(不合格的）products are extremely harmful. They endanger people’s health and even threaten people’s lives. So as consumers, we need to protect our rights. When we find the products are fake, we have the right to ask for compensation(赔偿).

Protection for Consumers:

*Every year, the “3.15 ” evening party hosted by CCTV unveils(揭幕) some illegal companies and fake products, in order to raise the consumers’ awareness to protect their own rights.

*If consumers find the shops are cheating, they can call 12315 to protect their rights.

Several strong measures should be adopted to fight against fake and unqualified products. On the one hand ,those who make bad products must be seriously punished by the laws. On the other hand, consumers should learn to know differences between true and false.
