21、   This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I flipped (掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.

Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”

Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?

Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip (跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.

【1】People in the class acted strangely because ________.

A.I was too proud of my homework

B.I mistook what the homework was about

C.the whole world suddenly became quiet

D.the teacher’s face turned to a stone

【2】We can infer from the passage that ________.

A.the headmaster didn’t like the writer at all

B.the writer’s classmates felt sad at his mistake

C.the writer knew little about American history

D.the writer’s grandpa was a very wise man

【3】Which of the following proverbs can best describe the main idea of this story?

A.Seeing is believing.

B.Where there is a will, there is a way.

C.One is never too old to learn.

D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.

22、Xing Eryang, who founded the Douban topic in 2021, is a 31-year-old female resident in Beijing and is amazed to find her “slash (斜杠) life” philosophy echoed by so many of her peers.

After graduating in 2014, Xing landed her job at a public institution. While staying diligent about her daytime work, she is developing her hobbies, including stand-up comedy, sharing video blogs and podcasting (播客), into secondary careers during her downtime.

“I prefer the word ‘slash’ because a diverse lifestyle is like using a knife to cut our life into different parts. One part works hard during the daytime, while the other part can still chase after truth, goodness and inner beauty during our personal time,” she explains.

A 26-vear-old woman nicknamed Weiheng, from Guangzhou, and Tang Yuhan, a 27-year-old man in Anhui province, are both participants in the online thread, with their stories obtaining thousands of likes so far.

The two are both musicians in their spare time, even though they are thousands of miles apart and have different jobs in media and finance. Weiheng is now a lead singer in a band after work, while Tang plays the guitar in a death metal group.

Their passion for music has grown since college and they didn’t abandon their enthusiasm, even after entering the workplace. Though they both faced doubts and worries from their family and colleagues at first, they stuck to their beliefs and won the respect and understanding of others.

The two music enthusiasts make use of their nighttime to rehearse and then perform on holidays and weekends. Weiheng’s band, Flouting Soul, has released eight songs and signed a contract with a music agency, ready to launch albums and get down to a concert tour.

The “slash life” craziness shows that along with China’s economic development, our society is becoming more and more diversified, and it welcomes everyone’s self-fulfillment. Young people no longer have to rely on work and money for their sense of self-worth. They lend to practice a carpe diem (及时行乐) philosophy and create their own identities.

【1】Why did Xing call her life a “slash” one?

A．Because her life is cut into different parts by an invisible slash.

B．Because she preferred the word “slash” when she was young.

C．Because she developed her hobbies into secondary careers.

D．Because Douban requires her to choose “slash” as a topic.

【2】What does Tang Yuhan think of his slash life?

A．Disgusting.

B．Favourable.

C．Funny.

D．Frustrating.

【3】What is the purpose of the last paragraph?

A．To provide career guidance.

B．To analyze a cultural difference.

C．To conclude from the phenomenon

D．To share a unique life experience.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Xing Eryang founded the Douban topic “slash life”.

B．Young people prefer “slash life” to their real lives.

C．China’s economy develops fast due to “slash life”.

D．“Slash life” trend allows workers to chase their dreams.

23、Facts about novel corona virus: Prevention and control

l Keep distance with people when talking

The novel corona virus can be transmitted via droplets and fly 1 to 2 meters in the air before falling to the ground. Droplets can be transmitted far longer when sneezing and coughing than speaking, so apart from keeping 1 to 2 meters of distance, also remember to wear a mask when you are close to someone else.

l Washing hands can reduce risk of getting infected

Please wash your hands promptly and properly after touching elevator buttons or using cash. Do not touch your nose or mouth or rub your eyes before washing your hands. Do not use smart phones while eating.

l Receiving delivered packages at home not dangerous

Though the virus might be attached to the packaging of delivered items, the possibility of transmission through express delivery is extremely low. Before going out to take your delivery, remember to wear a mask. After removing the packaging, please wash your hands.

l Sun exposure cannot kill the virus

The temperature of sun light cannot reach 56℃, and the ultraviolet rays in sunlight cannot reach the intensity of ultraviolet lamps, so the virus can’t be killed by the sunlight. If you want to go out to get some sun, please wear a mask and take other protective measures.

l Taking a hot bath or using air conditioning cannot kill the virus

Although the virus is vulnerable to heat. It can only be inactivated after exposure to a 56°C temperature for over 30 minutes.

l Woolen fabric doesn’t retain virus longer

It is believed that the virus prefers smooth, non-porous surfaces and stays on woolen fabrics for a shorter time. At home or before going out, it is not necessary to consider which kind of material has less chance to absorb the virus—choosing comfortable clothes is enough.

After returning home, please wash your hands, sterilize the clothes and dry the clothes.

24、Soft winds blew throughout the Windy City today. We welcomed the winds, as it was another hot day in Chicago. The wind blew, bringing us some coolness and making the weather not that hot. But it was a beautiful summer day with a blue sky.

Chicago is a great city for eating, and we have enjoyed tasting the different foods. Last night, we tried one of the city's most famous foods: deep-dish pizza. Chicago claims credit for the rich and cheesy thick-crust pizza, covered with a sweet tomato sauce. We topped it with olives and green peppers.

We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods. Today, we enjoyed a Polish specialty at lunch: Pierogis, an Eastern European dumpling-like dish, filled with foods like potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, cabbage and meat. Polish immigrants started settling in Chicago in the 1850s, and the city has one of the largest Polish communities in the U.S.

We took a break from exploring the city to talk with some of you! Ashley and Caty logged onto the Internet for an on-the-road version of TALK2US. We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan, and a graduate student in India.

Meanwhile, Adam searched for some locations around the city to shoot some video. He chose a spectacular spot: Navy Pier, Chicago's most-visited attraction. The winds from Lake Michigan keep visitors cool, and the view of the Chicago skyline never fails to impress. In fact, the view made all of us head over heels!

Our time in Chicago has come to an end. Tomorrow, the true journey begins, as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri via Route 66. Springfield, the home of Abe Lincoln, and St. Louis, the "gateway to the West," wait for us.
