A
In the film Forrest Gump（《阿甘正传》）, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get.” It’s the same with blind boxes（盲盒）.
Each of these small, sealed boxes contains one of many toy figures（图形） in a series. The buyers don’t know which figure they’ve gotten until they cut the packaging with scissors. The origin（起源） of blind boxes can be traced back（追溯） to lucky bags sold in Japan from the late 1860s. In recent years it has become big business in China.
During the double 11 shopping day, POP MART, a leading blind box company in China, sold 55,000 Labubu dolls on Tmall（天猫商城） in just 9 seconds according to a Tmall report.
One reason for their popularity is the lovely appearance of the figures inside the boxes. They’re like tiny cartoon characters. They can be placed anywhere in your home as a decoration（装饰）. But another, perhaps more important reason people like them is to take pleasure in surprise.
“The most interesting thing about blind boxes is the gap（差距） between what you expect and what you get, ”said Wen Xi, a blind box collector from Beijing. The excitement of getting the exact figure you want is like winning a lottery （彩票）.
While the boxes are certainly entertaining（娱乐）to some, others worry that children might spend too much money on these toys.
“The blind box economy takes advantage of gambling psychology（赌博心理）,” said Liu Chunsheng, an associate professor at Central University of Finance and Economics. “ Young people tend to look for the excitement brought by uncertainty and higher risks, which leads to impulse buying（冲动消费）.”
Last year, over 200, 000 Chinese customers spent more than 20, 000 yuan collecting blind boxes. Most of them were Generation Z, or those born after 1995, according to a report by Tmall.
1．Blind boxes came out ________.

2．What does the underlined word “sealed “mean ________.

A．people may win a lottery when buying the boxes
B．there are surprises in the boxes when people open them
C．people can get the figures inside the boxes they expect
D．the figures inside the boxes have special appearances

A．The boxes attract buyers with peoples gambling psychology.
B．Young people after 00s are especially interested in the boxes.

Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code（二维码）. “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate（使产生）the codes, and in the end everything gets easier. ”Said Guo. “When students finish the homework, they keep in on WeChat（微信）. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone.”
The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans（扫描）his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative（创新的）, with many pictures, music and even videos.

Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fill behind the times.”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it is unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time.

There you are, looking through your Qzone or Weibo, and you come across sayings like “nbcs”,“zqsg” or “paw”. But what do they mean?
These are examples of internet slang(俚语) terms that have become popular among China’s post-00 generation(时代). According to People’s Daily, these internet slang terms mainly come from two ways: the acronyms(首字母缩写) of pinyin or English and a set of emojis(表情).

Li Junzhang, a 16-year-old student, loves using internet slang terms. She chooses to express herself using these symbols rather than words when communicating online. She believes, “We like to talk in a convenient way. And parents have no idea what we are talking about. Using the new terms creates a feeling of being ourselves and gives us a sense of belonging to a certain generation.”

The “three ox spirit”（三牛精神）first appeared in President Xi Jinping’s speech at a New Year’s gathering last December. The ox is a symbol of diligence (勤劳), progress and strength. On Feb 18, the first working day of the new year, Hua Chunying, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, explained it on the social media to encourage people with the “three ox spirit”—the serving-the-people ox, the pioneering ox, the persisting ox.
Centuries ago, most people earned their living through farming. The ox was used to help in the field and carry heavy goods.
The ox has played an important place in Chinese culture. Ancient Chinese poets and writers often described the ox in literature. In the Classic of Poetry, the oldest collection of Chinese poetry, the animal was mentioned in nine out of the 305 pieces.
Oxen seldom bully (欺负) the weak or fear the strong. They work hard and make sacrifices (牺牲). A poem by Lu Xun (1881－1936) — “Fierce-browed, I coolly defy a thousand pointing fingers; Head bowed, like a willing ox I serve the children (横眉冷对千夫指，俯首甘为孺子牛)” fully expresses the poet’s love to our country and the people.
So naturally, those who were born in the Year of the Ox are often expected to be hardworking and dependable. “They never want to be the center of attention or look for praise,” the website China Highlights noted.
11．When was the “three ox spirit” first appeared?

Over the past year, COVID-19 has forced people to give up most of their travel plans. Now in a world with social distancing and limited flights, what will travel be like? Airbnb, a US-based home-sharing company, has used surveys to predict trends（预测趋势）.

Getting back to nature
In China, 76 percent of those surveyed want to “travel to suburban（近郊的）areas” or even “move to the countryside” in the coming year.
In the US, 62 percent expressed interest in taking a vacation that is closer to home in a more natural environment, such as a tree house or cottage（乡间小屋）.

Remote（远程的）working and traveling
Because of COVID-19, remote working and schooling became a lifestyle for many people in 2020. Airbnb says this will blur（模糊）the line between working and traveling.
On Airbnb, people who have the chance to work from anywhere are actively booking longer stays（two week-plus trips）. They prefer small-to-mid-size cities with natural environments and more open spaces. In China, 64 percent of people are considering “going to a new place to live and work remotely”, or “traveling while on a business trip”.

Staying more connected
Pod travel, in which people choose to travel together as a family or a group of friends, will become a trend. This way, people can stay safe and reduce the risk of socializing with others.
On Airbnb, more than half of the trips that are being planned for 2021 include three or more travelers.

A．A traveling company. B．An airline company.
C．A car-sharing company. D．A home-sharing company.
