26、 Social distancing can impact mental health. How shall we handle it?
More than three billion people globally are living under lockdown measures. Many people in recent weeks have begun working at home, if they haven’t been laid off. Schools have canceled classes. 【1】. Restaurants, retail stores, gyms, bars, theaters and other gathering places have all been shuttered (关门) in many countries.
Though these closures are all attempts to enforce social distancing, mental health experts still suggest scientific and handy measures to reduce people’s mental problems during isolation. Following are some of their tips:
【2】. Engaging in activities that distract you from current events can also be helpful. You can watch your favorite movies and TV shows, pick up a new hobby like baking or DIY crafts, join an online fitness class or enroll in a free online university course. In addition, you can take virtual tours together of museums, national parks and other sites.
Make time for self-care. When stress heightens, please carve out some time for yourself every day, even when you’re hunkered down, to do something that makes you feel good. 【3】. Also,don’t forget the critical self-care activities like eating healthy, getting adequate sleep and regular physical activity.
Stay connected with family and friends. Maintaining social networks can foster a sense of normality and provide valuable outlets for sharing feelings and relieving stress. 【4】
Be there for others. 【5】. In China, some people find self-value by organizing donation activities and volunteering to deliver food and other necessities for the quarantined. In Spain, group exercise classes are being conducted for quarantined residents on their balconies.
A.You won’t get infected with COVID-19 by talking on the phone, texting or chatting with your family members and friends on social media platforms.
B.Move around.
C.And some people will stay connected through phone calls, text message or joining an online community.
D.Helping others is also a good way to improve happiness.
E.Keep yourself busy.
F.Whether it’s journaling, reading a book, playing with your pet or listening to music.

28、Fans, with different materials and shapes, are not only a means to cool down in the hot days but also a part of the culture for the Chinese. Here are some of the interesting cultural meanings for the fans in China.
Feather fans
It is the earliest form of fans. Its most famous user is Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms period, who was the best adviser to a king. He always carried a white feather fan around. Since then the feather fans have become a symbol of wisdom in the Chinese classic literature, traditional paintings. They even appear in today's TV series and films now and then.
Round fans
If feather fans were loved mostly by men, round fans were Chinese women's best friends. The round fans, originated in the West Han Dynasty, were usually made of bamboo frames of round or oval shapes, and white fine silk. Therefore, they could only be afforded by wealthy families back in those days. In Chinese culture, the round fans are closely linked with elegance (优雅) and beauty of women, as well as their happiness and sorrow.
Folding(折叠) fans
The folding fans are quite familiar to us. In fact, the folding fans originated in Japan, and were introduced to China in the Northern Song Dynasty. The popularity of the folding fans owed greatly to the Chinese scholars(文人), who loved to paint and write on the folding fans and turned them into art pieces.
Big leaf fans
The big leaf fans are a link to the traditional lifestyle. Many elderly Chinese can still remember those summer days, when neighbors sat together, waving their big leaf fans, drinking tea while telling the stories of their daily lives.

29、 It warmed my heart today to walk into the Thirsty Camel downtown in the Thanksgiving Day, for a quick lunch before a haircut and library trip. Ilan, a food shop owner, said that he was refusing to take money today because it was Buy Nothing Day. To increase awareness(意识) of the stranger’s over-spending nature of our society, Ilan suggested a trade(交易)for food today. He simply asked that you offer something of equal personal value for the meal you received.
At first I was really uncomfortable, wondering if it would be fair(公平的) to exchange a yet to be determined “I Owe You” (IOU) for food? What could I give him of equal value? After all, his food is the best in the town!
We ended up writing our IOU’s with promises in a lot of ways if he needs it, such as a book, some paintings and the offer of work. I think the idea isn’t that the trade is “equal” so much as the importance of the kind of transaction. We put thought into our offer and we had an even greater understanding for the meals we ate.
We don’t buy a lot, especially at this upcoming time of year. We don’t give gifts at all in fact. The holiday time is spent enjoying each other’s company and doing things together with family and friends. This is what seems most sensible(明智的).
Ilan is a good person. We are all lucky to have someone like this in our community.
【1】Ilan did not take any money that day in order to______.
A.to increase awareness of people’s over spending

【4】What is the author’s attitude to Buy Nothing Day?
A.Disagreeable B.Meaningless. C.Doubtful. D.Supportive.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
NASA is on a journey to Mars, with a goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. That journey is already well under way.
For decades, the agency and its partners have sent orbiters, landers and rovers(探测器), 【1】 increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Curiosity rover has gathered radiation data to help us protect future astronauts, and the upcoming Mars 2020 rover will study the 【2】 of Martian resources, including oxygen.
Building on the robotic legacy(遗产), the human exploration of Mars crosses three thresholds(门槛), each with 【3】 challenges as humans move farther from Earth: Earth Reliant, the Proving Ground, and Earth Independent.
Earth Reliant explorations is 【4】 on research aboard the International Space Station. The orbiting microgravity laboratory serves as a world - class test bed for the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space. Astronauts are learning about what it takes to live and work in space for long periods of time, improving our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronauts' health.
Next, we move into the Proving Ground, 【5】 a series of missions near the moon called “cislunar space” to test the capabilities we will need to live and work at Mars. Astronauts on the space station are only hours away from Earth, but the proving ground is days away, a(n) 【6】 stepping stone to a Mars mission, which will be months away from home.
Also in the 2020s, we’ll send astronauts on a year-long mission into this deep space proving ground, confirming habitation and testing our 【7】 for Mars.
Finally, we become Earth Independent, building on the knowledge 【8】 on the space station and in deep space to send humans to low-Mars orbit in the early 2030s.
This phase will also test the entry, descent(降落)and landing techniques needed to get to the Martin surface and study what's needed for in-situ resource utilization or "living off the land". NASA is already studying the 【9】 "Exploration Zones" on Mars that would offer compelling science research and provide resources our astronauts can use.
There are challenges to 【10】 Mars, but we know they are solvable. We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.
