It was the day after Christmas 33 years ago. My wife gave birth to our first child. We were full of appreciation to have Joseph John Mazzella I, also called JJ，sleeping peacefully in the cradle (摇篮) next to our bed.

We had been on the road showing off our little baby to all of the grandparents and great - grandparents. It had been a busy Christmas and hard on my wife who was still recovering from her operation. Now we were back in our tiny flat trying to get a few extra hours of sleep before  starting the day.

Just then I heard JJ stirring in his cradle. I leaned over and picked him up before he started to cry and then carefully stole out into the living room so that my wife could keep sleeping. I picked up a bottle and sat in our rocking chair with JJ in my arms. I rocked quietly and fed him in the living room while he looked up at me with his loving eyes. I spoke softly to him but also felt a little nervous and scared as I watched him. How was I going to take care of him? I was a new father and had no idea what the future had in store for us. I rocked and rocked. But luckily, I had so many elders to help me.

After a few minutes I saw the sun slowly rising in the sky outside my window. The bright light was shining down from the heavens making the freshly fallen snow shine with beauty that touched my soul. As I watched it, my fear escaped and I felt such sense of peace, harmony, love and joy. The Christmas spirit had entered my heart and I smiled. I knew then that whatever the future would hold, it would be smooth as long as I kept love in my heart. New life is precious and I believed my child would be grateful, too and bring us new sunshine in the future.

24. How did the couple feel about the birth of JJ?

A. Appreciative  B. Calm   C. Helpless  D. Disappointed

25. Why did the author carry JJ to another room?

A. To look for a bottle    B. To appreciate the sun

C. To make him sleep again    D. To avoid disturbing his wife

26. What's the author's attitude towards his family's future when he saw the sunrise?

A. Doubtful  B. Positive  C. Uncertain  D. Unconcerned

27. What does the text mainly show?

A. The family's difficulty    B. The mother's pain and fear

C. The baby's life experiences   D. The father's love and responsibility

Visitors to Rome can now see one of the most important private collections of ancient Greek and Roman statues (雕像). The 90 works from the Torlonia Collection opened this week in the newly rebuilt Palazzo Caffarelli, overlooking the Roman Forum.

Among the works is a fountain (喷泉) that was made in ancient Greece. Experts on ancient Rome believe the fountain once stood in the garden of the general and statesman Julius Caesar. It was already hundreds of years old.

The 620 - piece Torlonia Collection is believed to be the greatest private collection of classical art in the world. It was begun more than a century ago by Prince Alessandro Torlonia. He found many of the pieces on the grounds of his family's Roman garden. Rich from a business relationship with the Vatican (梵蒂冈), the family bought other well known statue collections.

In 1884, the prince built his own museum to show off his collection. When the museum closed in 1976, the pieces went into storage.

“The reappearance of such a collection is a very important event,” said art historian Salvatore Settis. “When I saw them for the first time, they were very emotional because I knew most of those pieces from books, but I had never seen them.”

The Torlonia family chose Settis to help with the difficult job of deciding which works should be shown to the public. Anna Maria Carruba helped prepare the statues for the show. “Many of these pieces were already restored from ( the year) 1600 onwards. We didn't need to work on the structure of the statues but only on the surfaces, cleaning them,” she said.

The show will stay open until June 29, 2021. It is the result of public and private cooperation among the culture ministry, the city of Rome, the Torlonia Foundation and the Roman jeweler Bvlgari.

28. Which of the following can describe the Torlonia family?

A. Unlucky  B. Wealthy  C. Humorous  D. Ungenerous

29. What did the prince think of his private statue collection?

A. It is a matter of pride    B. It is not worth storing

C. It should not be made public   D. It should be recorded in books

30. What was Settis requested to do by the Torlonia family?

A. Repair statues     B. Introduce statues

C. Select statues for show    D. Put off the statue show

31. What can be the best title for the text?

A. An Art Show of Statues Was Held in 1976  B. People Look Forward to Seeing Famous Statues

C. Ancient Statues Reappear after Years in Storage D. A Famous Fountain Dates Back to Ancient Greece

D

You may have noticed particular bright night skies recently as we experienced a full moon. NASA reported the event, called the Wolf Moon, began Thursday afternoon and ended Saturday morning. But did you notice any changes in your personal sleep patterns in the days leading up to the full moon?

As the latest full moon was beginning, a new study was released suggesting that a full moon can affect human sleep cycles. Researchers confirmed that the nights leading up to a full moon have more natural light available after the sun goes down.

The new research found that in the days before a full moon, people go to sleep later in the evening and sleep for shorter periods of time.

The moon takes 27. 3 days to go around the Earth, but it takes 29. 5 days to complete a full cycle from New Moon to New Moon. The new study measured the sleep patterns of test subjects as the moon progressed through at least one whole 29. 5 - day cycle. Some subjects were tested through two moon cycles.

On average, people involved in the study slept about 52 minutes less on nights before a full moon. They also went to bed about 30 minutes later. The research showed that people had the latest bedtime and the shortest amount of sleep during the nights that were three to five days before a full moon.

The study involved 98 individuals living in three different indigenous communities in Argentina. Each local community had different access to electricity. One countryside community had no electricity access, while a second had only limited access. A third community was in a more populated area and had full access to electricity.

The scientists say further research is needed to help explain other possible causes for the changes in sleep patterns in the test subjects. Such causes could involve biological differences in individuals or social patterns within communities.

32. How does the author lead in the topic of the text?

A. By comparison  B. By listing data  C. By imagination  D. By asking a question

33. What conclusion did the researchers draw from their study?

A. Full moon can impact sleep   B. Bright skies are good for sleep

C. Eyesight is influenced by moonlight   D. Power supplies change sleep patterns

34. When did people get the least amount of sleep in the study?

A. Five days after a full moon   B. On the night of the full moon

C. Four days before a full moon   D. During the nights without electricity

35. What does the underlined word “indigenous” in paragraph 6 probably mean?

A. Illegal   B. Native   C. Virtual   D. Foreign

How to Be Productive During Difficult Times

When we are struggling, or when we have a hard time focusing, we may turn to others for help. We may even wish we had a hero to help us. Well, today here is some advice for you.

Turn ourselves into our own heroes.

When we make ourselves heroes， we not only gain focus but also a sense of purpose.    36    For example, it can give us hope as stories in the books often do. In stories, writers often give their hero, the main person in the story, a purpose.    37    

Write out our tasks and ideas.

In stories, heroes also have tasks，which they want to finish and ideas, which they see for themselves. So we can write out our tasks and ideas, not just for a project but for our life as well. With clear tasks and ideas, events in our life no longer seem to be separate events.    38    There's just a lot of value in having tasks and ideas.

    39    

When we know our strengths, we can use them fully. In difficult times, we can make our life easier by focusing on our strengths. It is even more important to identify weaknesses. All heroes have them. On their journey they face their weaknesses and learn from them.

Have small goals within a larger goal.

As we know, the hero's journey is not a one- time thing. It is a journey we are on in our entire life.    40    Our life's journey is ongoing and ever-changing. We should be realistic with our goals and to be kind to ourselves, especially during difficult times.

A. Learn from heroes in stories.

B. We often live a life without purpose.

C. Know our strengths and weaknesses.

D. They become part of our larger stories.

E. So have small goals that we can measure in some way.

F. We can do the same for ourselves and identify our purposes.

G. Making ourselves the heroes in our own stories helps us in many ways.

Dear Bryan,

I'm glad to tell you something about the theme park which has been built recently in our city. Its theme is Chinese Tea Culture. Walking along the alley, you can see lots of different “tea”characters written by famous scholars. The history of tea growing in China and the special ways of cooking different tea, such as Longjing tea, and Pu'er tea are also shown on the cultural wall in the park. Besides, the park is full of unique tea houses, allowing visitors to taste various tea.

So I sincerely invite you to come here and experience our tea culture.

Yours,

Li Hua
