26、Learning Chinese as a second language is good for me in many ways.

【1】 Before learning Chinese it felt as if I were on a boat, sailing on the water and looking around but not truly being able to see the wonders that lay below me. But after being more familiar (熟悉的) with this language, I can read a large number of the words and write most of them, too. 【2】

Learning Chinese has also given me new pieces of knowledge. Now, I see the word "lion" written in Chinese and I can almost see the word that ancient Chinese people wrote to represent the king of the forest. 【3】 I came to learn that a few thousand years ago, ancient Chinese people already started grasping complicated concepts (掌握复杂概念) and putting them to use, most of which they fortunately wrote down. As a result, today we can read all about that knowledge and put it to use.

Books and characters aside, learning Chinese can raise musical skills and salaries (薪水). 【4】 Chinese just so happens to be one of these tonal (声调的) languages! Also, learning Chinese can give you job chances in mainland China, perhaps even as a translator. The more job choices you have, the more likely you are to earn a higher salary.

To learn Chinese, you can go to a Chinese school. 【5】 Anyway, I believe that learning Chinese can help you just as it has helped me!

A．I almost see a real lion, dancing before my eyes!

B．It has allowed me to understand my family better.

C．Or you can ask for help from a friend or family member.

D．Knowing a second language has helped me read interesting books.

E．Every time I visit China, I feel like a sailor entering a beautiful sea.

F．A study showed that learning tonal languages can help people learn music.

G．Without question, this has allowed me to enjoy more of the beauty of China.

27、Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.

Recite and repeat in conversation.

When you hear a person’s name，repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

Ask the other person to recite and repeat.

You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.

Admit you don’t know.

Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”

Use associations.

Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you could make a mental note:“Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair.” To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

Go early.

Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others—an automatic review for you.

【1】How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?

A. They will be moved.   B. They will be annoyed.

C. They will be delighted.   D. They will be discouraged.

【2】When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __

A. all their names   B. a couple of names first

C. just their last names   D. as many names as possible

【3】What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Tips on an important social skill.

B. Importance of attending parties.

C. How to make use of associations.

D. How to recite and repeat names.

28、Holly Cooke wasn’t a fan of weekends. Whenever Friday rolled around, it was a reminder that she had no one to spend her spare time with.

“I was lonely,” said Cooke, who relocated from Stoke-on-Trent — a city in central England — to London when she was 22. “I moved here knowing no one.” She had high hopes of going to restaurants, bars and the theater as she had done before, but she didn’t want to do those activities alone. “I was desiring community: people who wanted to hang out and have fun,” said Cooke, now 26.

She grew so eager for company, she said that she eventually found herself Googling: “How to make friends in London.” The search proved futile, though she found a few other women who were also lonely in London on some social media apps.

Cooke decided to create a Facebook group called “The London Lonely Girls Club,” and invited the people she connected with on the apps to join. She then asked everyone to meet for brunch (早午餐). “It was so difficult,” she said, adding that she asked a friend from out of town to come in for the brunch, in case no one else showed up. “Saying that you’re lonely and you don’t have people around, admitting to that was really scary.”

Cooke was pleasantly surprised when five women showed up and they all got along well. This proved she was not alone in her loneliness, and that she could help others in the same situation. She decided to start planning meetups every few weeks, and word slowly spread about the Facebook group. Now, five years later, the London Lonely Girls Club has more than 35,000 members.

Cooke said she lost count of how many women have made lasting friendships through her group. “It’s beautiful and rewarding, and it’s the reason I’ve carried on,” she said. “As long as there is a need, we will be here.”

【1】What can we learn about Holly Cooke?

B．She got used to the lifestyle of being alone on weekends.

C．She had little time to make friends after moving to London.

D．She used to meet friends on weekends when in Stoke-on-Trent.

【2】What does the underlined word “futile” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Unsuccessful.

B．Unstoppable.

C．Unusual.

D．Unclear.

【3】Why did Holly Cooke ask a friend from out of town to come to the brunch?

A．She wanted to have an optional plan in case it didn’t work.

B．She wanted to introduce her friend to the other women.

C．She needed someone to help her to organize the meetup.

D．She was afraid that no one else would come as planned.

【4】What do we know about the London Lonely Girls Club?

A．It is well received.

B．It is not rewarding.

C．It is less creative.

D．It is not fruitful.

29、Two days after eight e-sports (电子竞技) games were officially announced to be included in the 19th Asian Games, China’s Edward Gaming (EDG) team earned its first League of Legends World Championship title with a 3-2 win over South Korea in a tough battle on November 7th, immediately drawing cheers from people around the country. The topic “EDG wins” has been viewed more than 2.63 billion times till now on Sina Weibo, ranking the top trending topic for a long time.

With the popularity of digital technology, new forms of cultural exchanges have been appearing, of which e-sports are the most popular.

In 2020 alone, the sales income of the domestic (国内的) e-sports industry was over 278.69 billion yuan, and involved 280,000 companies, which in turn created over 10 million jobs. According to a media report, nearly 95 percent of graduates from e-sports majors at the Communication University of China in Nanjing, succeeded in finding a job after graduation this year, with 62 percent of them devoted to the e-sports industry, including video game clubs, game design companies and game competition operation companies.

The inclusion of e-sports in major sporting events has been a much-discussed topic in recent years. With more Chinese gaming clubs and teams developing, the industry is expected to become better and better and continue spreading Chinese culture to the world.
