There are many objects and symbols that have beautiful implication all over the world. Do you know any about them? Read on.

Koi fish in China

Koi fish is known as the king of good luck in the water, which represents good luck in Feng Shui, and it is also known as “rich and noble”, because its color is like a peony (牡丹) in the water. Koi fish is regarded as a symbol of peace and friendship. Not only does it give people the enjoyment of beauty, but also implies joy, prosperity (繁荣) and happiness.

Acorns (橡子) in England

The oak tree is the national tree of England and symbolizes strength and endurance. The tree’s admirable reputation (名声) may explain why the Brits carried acorns for good luck and health. During the Norman Conquest, the British kept dry acorns in hope of escaping the cruel reality. In modern times, artificial acorns are used as jewelry and key chains to bring luck and wealth.

Scarabs in Egypt

Most people would be grossed out to wear a beetle around their neck, but in ancient Egypt, it was a way of life and believed to bring good luck. Kheper was the ancient Egyptian word for beetle and the meaning of it was “to exist”, so people wore scarab amulets (护身符) to protect them in this world.

Maneki-nekos in Japan

Do you know that smiling white porcelain (瓷制的) cat that waves at you when you walk into a Japanese restaurant or shop? It is called a Maneki-neko and is often displayed in the hope of bringing the business success and good luck.

22、   The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing. Since 2009, a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world-Little Free Libraries. The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods where residents can take out and leave books. Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults, or tour guides.

In 2009, Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother, a devoted reader. When he saw the people of his community gathering around it, exchanging conversations as well as books, he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further. "I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other." Bol said.

Since then, his idea has become a movement, spreading from state to state and country to country. According to Little Free Library. org, there are now 18,000 of the little structures around the world, located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.

The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries. But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads. The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human. For many people, the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries' main appeal: "A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading; a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poetry that changes his: outlook on life," says the Atlantic article. "Every book is a potential source of inspiration."

23、My generation--people born after 1990 --are accustomed to “all-in-platform” life, where we use mobile apps of different platforms to do almost everything in life.

For instance, I ordered a cup of coffee on Monday using an online delivery app. Then, I called a taxi by tapping on the app of a ride-booking service. Next, I bought some necessities on shopping platform Taobao. That done, I moved on to various other online destinations to get my daily fix of music, reading, social networking and so forth.

Platforms now play an increasingly important role in almost all aspects of day-to-day life, not just in economic and political processes. Consumption and social interaction are closely linked to platforms now.

But, I began to get confused recently. I thought I was being treated differently. My friend and I called a taxi at the same time on a ride-hailing platform (打车平台) and found that for the same destination, the prices were different. The price indicated on my phone was higher. One of the potential reasons could have been that I regularly use the ride-hailing platform and have a higher ranking while my friend doesn’t use it that often. So, the ride-hailing platform offers discounts to newbies like her, to attract and have such customers.

China’s latest efforts in regulating monopolistic (垄断的) or improper market behavior are of great significance in protecting consumers’ lawful rights.

“The essence of platform-based monopoly (垄断) is that a large number of users are gathered on only a select few platform companies, leading to uneven data gathering different platforms. But in China some platforms use their own data and traffic (流量) to expand capital in a disorderly way,” said Wang Yong, deputy director of the Institute of Economics at Tinghua University.

Data monopoly also brought another inconvenience for consumers--platforms block links to each other. For instance, link to We Chat Pay of Tencent is not available on Alibuba’s Taobao while there is no Alipay link on JD app’s payment options.

“More efforts should also be made to strike a good balance between personal information protection and interconnection between platforms. Companies are being encouraged to further develop data safety technology so that the data are available but not visible.”

【1】What is the author’s purpose in writing Para. 2?

A．To offer some tips on using apps on mobile phone.

B．To share his experience with mobile apps.

C．To further explain what is “all-in-platform” life.

D．To help readers familiarize themselves with mobile apps.

【2】What could be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A．The author encountered so called “big data price discrimination”.

B．The author and his friend were treated differently by taxi drivers.

C．Due to the author’s higher ranking, the platform offered him a cheaper price.

D．The ride-hailing platform offers discounts to regular customers.

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards data monopoly?

A．Sympathetic.

B．Approving.

C．Critical.

D．Grateful.

【4】What does the passage focus on?

A．Data monopolies and the inconvenience they bring to mobile app life.

B．Mobile apps have greatly changed our lives.

C．How to protect personal information on mobile apps.

D．Platforms have impacted every aspect of our daily lives.
