25、Niangao, also known as year cake or Chinese New Year’s cake, is a popular dessert eaten during Chinese New Year. Because the pronunciation of niangao sounds like “higher year”, it is considered good luck during the Chinese New Year.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the whole country was divided into different small kingdoms and people suffered from the wars. At that time, Suzhou was the capital of the Wu Kingdom. Strong walls were built to protect Wu people. All of the people stopped worrying about the war, except for the Prime Minister Wu Zixu. He told his entourage(随从), “The strong wall is a good protection, but if the enemy fights with us, they can’t go inside, but we can’t go outside, either. If we eat up all the food, we will die from hunger. So remember to dig a hole under the wall.” Many years later, after Wu died, his words came true.

During the war, the army did what Wu Zixu had told them before and found that the wall under the earth was built with special bricks(砖) made from glutinous rice flour(糯米粉). This food saved many people from hunger. These bricks were the earliest niangao.

After that, people made niangao every year in memory of Wu Zixu. As time passed, niangao became the known Chinese New Year’s cake.

26、Gabriella has spent the past year doing everything she could to help other kids. The 11-year-old girl raised thousands of dollars for a group — which makes sick kids’ wishes come true. She’s given money to cancer research, and worked hard to help people understand cancer better. She’s also donated her hair to a group — which makes wigs (假发) for kids who lost their hair.

All of that is pretty amazing. It’s even more amazing that Gabriella has done all this while fighting her own cancer.

Around Thanksgiving a year ago, doctors found Gabriella had cancer.

Because of her illness, Gabriella could ask for a wish from the wishes group. She asked for her own wish, but soon worked on helping make other sick kids’ wishes come true, too. A store promised to donate $1 for each letter to Santa Claus during the holiday season. Gabriella asked people to send Santa Claus letters by starting a social-media page, and the letters poured in. In the end, Gabriella’s effort raised $275,000 for the wishes group enough to pay for wishes for about 36 other kids.

Since then, Gabriella has given speeches about cancer to thousands of people. She’s busy but never too busy to figure out new ways to help others. Her family has even started a charity to raise money to cure cancer like hers. Gabriella says, “My saying is: ‘You might have a bad day today, but there’s always a shining star to look forward to tomorrow.’”

【1】Gabriella kept helping other kids though she was_________.

A. poor B. sick C. shy D. disabled

27、   English playwright Arthur Wing Pinero said, “Where there’s tea, there’s hope.” Similarly, a Chinese saying goes that “Firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.”

Tea is, without doubt, welcomed all over the world. According to Statista, a German website for statistics(数据）, global tea production reached about 5.8 million tons in 2018. It has become the most consumed beverage(饮品） in the world – after water, of course.

According to the UN, tea is much more than just a hot drink. It’s a big part of many cultures around the world. You probably know that people in China use top-grade tea to show respect when receiving important guests. Meanwhile, the British tradition of afternoon tea is an important part of that country’s identity. Making Malaysia’s pulled tea has become a sort of art form, where drinkers take pride in its entertainment aspects.

Apart from its cultural significance（意义）, tea is also a medicine, used from ancient times to modern day. “Tea is cold and lowers the fire,” Chinese Ming Dynasty herbalist Li Shizhen once said. The health benefits of tea are still being discovered today: preventing heart disease, obesity and cancer have all been linked to drinking green tea, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information in the US.

Hot or cold, bagged or loose-leaf, tea is more than a drink – it’s a social custom and also a magic medicine, a link to the past and a way of life. (改编自 21 世纪英语网站）
