But what do you do when you’ve got to go, but there’s not a toilet in sight? Or, what if you’re fussy (挑剔的) about toilets? In the UK, toilets can be few and far between. And some make you pay to use them! So you have to plan your toilet stops, or cheekily (厚脸皮地) stop in a pub (酒吧) or restaurant to go. There are no squat toilets (蹲便) in the UK. You rest your behind on the ring-shaped seat. Of course, this can be an issue for hygiene (卫生) but it’s what I’m used to and am comfortable with.Luckily, in Beijing, toilets are all over the place. Even on the metro station platforms (地铁站台)! But the squat toilets in China were a thing I had to get used to. Sometimes, there were embarrassing moments, like accidentally looking over the door at a man doing his business because the door only comes up to your chest. “Oh! Sorry!” I’d say, as the poor man looked up frowning (皱眉). Or finding toilets, but not realizing I should have gotten the toilet paper from near the front door when I came in (they’re always by the toilet in the UK). Or finding toilet cubicles (小隔间) with no door. That was a level of sharing I just wasn’t ready for. And as a foreigner, there’s an awkward (尴尬的) moment when first using the squat toilet. “Which way do I face?‘’ I thought then. ”What’s the best position?”Now, I’m a pro (行家) at using the good old squat toilet. But every so often, when I’m out and I’ve got to go and discover that one Western-style toilet seat, I can’t help but let out a happy sigh (叹息).1. “When you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go” suggests that _____.A. someone needs to go to the toiletB. someone wants to leave at onceC. someone is picky about toiletsD. someone is not welcomed 2. What’s the problem with public toilets in the UK?A. People need to pay to use all of them. B. They are not comfortable to use.C. There aren’t many public toilets.D. People must be cheeky to go to the toilet.3. What was the author’s embarrassing moment while using a squat toilet in China?A. Asking someone else for toilet paper.B. Seeing someone else using the toilet.C. Using a toilet cubicle with no door.D. Not knowing how to flush the toilet. 4. The author probably agrees that _____.A. Western-style toilets should be improved B. he is still not good at using squat toiletsC. a Western-style toilet is still his first choiceD. Chinese squat toilets should be promoted                              BThe skill for making Jiangzhou Chengni inkstones can be dated back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220). However, it was lost at the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).In 1986, Lin Yongmao, a craftsman (工艺师) from Xinjiang county, Shanxi, and his son Lin Tao decided to revive (复活) this ancient skill. To find clues (线索), they visited libraries to read historical papers about the inkstone.Although they learned the basics, bringing it back to life was no easy task. They walked over the Fenhe riverbed (河床) and collected mud of all kinds to find the best one. To know the best temperature for firing clay (黏土), they spent sleepless nights keeping a close watch on the kiln (窑) through the smoke. After many failures (失败), they succeeded in making three Chengni inkstones in 1991. According to Lin Tao, it takes over a year and more than 10 steps to make a Chengni inkstone. One of the key steps is mud filtering (过滤). “The mud needs to be filtered over and over again till it feels like flour (面粉). This is to make sure the texture of clay is right,” he said. Lin Xiaolin, Lin Tao’s son, is a third-generation inheritor (传承人) of the Chengni inkstone craftsmanship. In 2019, after returning from his studies abroad, the 33-year-old created new ways to make the Chengni inkstone. By controlling the temperature of the kiln, he increased the colors of the Chengni inkstone from three to eight.In 2013, Lin Tao built the China Jiangzhou Chengni Inkstone Cultural Park. More than 10,000 people have visited the park to learn the old skill. “Passing on the skill holds the key to keeping it alive,” he said to Teens. 1. What is the Jiangzhou Chengni inkstone made from?A. Flour.                   B. Clay.C. Natural stones.    D. Normal soil.       2. How many years did Lin Yongmao and his son spend bringing the Chengni inkstones back to life?A. 3 years.                B. 5 years.  C. 27 years.               D. 33 years.3. Which of the following is correct about making a Chengni inkstone?A. The best time to make the inkstone is at night.B. It gives out lots of smoke while being made.C. It takes a short time to make a Chengni inkstone.D. Mud needs to be processed as fine and smooth as flour. 4. What do we know about Lin Xiaolin?A. He learned how to make Chengni inkstones abroad.B. He graded the quality of the Chengni inkstones.C. He can make Chengni inkstones in any color.D. He improved the art of making Chengni inkstones.                         CFish is a delicious and healthy type of food. But getting a fish bone stuck in your throat can be a nightmare (噩梦). What if the fish didn’t have those annoying little bones?Chinese researchers have created the world’s first crucian carp (鲫鱼) without intermuscular bones (肌间刺). They used gene editing (基因编辑) to do it. This breakthrough (突破) ends a global debate for more than 50 years on whether intermuscular bones can be removed, reported China Daily.The crucian carp is a bony fish mostly eaten in Eastern Europe and Asia. However, its tiny bones make it difficult to eat and process. Removing the bones could open up greater business opportunities.The team at the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences’ Heilongjiang Fishery Research Institute started the project in 2009. They found the key gene, from 1,600 genes, that controls the growth of the fish’s intermuscular bones. Then they removed the gene without affecting (影响) the fish’s growth and reproduction (繁殖).   They also paid great attention to the biological (生物的) safety of the new type of fish. They made sure that the fish can swim and make babies safely in the wild, and that they wouldn’t bring bad effects to the ecosystem. Although there is still a long way to go in terms of safety regulation (管理) and mass production (量产), the team members are excited. “People will no longer have to pick out tiny fish bones,” Li Shaowu, head of the team, told China Daily. “This can greatly change the fish diet culture and habits around the world.”Scans show the removed bonesScientists used micro-CT (微计算机断层扫描技术) to scan a wild crucian carp (left) and a gene-edited one (right). We can see a lot of small, needle-like (像针一样的) bones in the wild crucian carp. But there are no such bones in the gene-edited fish.    1. What is “a bony fish” like?A. The fish is delicious.B. The fish is easy to process.C. The fish has no bones.D. The fish has lots of bones.2. How did the scientists remove the fish’s intermuscular bones? A. They removed the gene that controls the bones’ growth.B. They edited 1,600 genes of the fish to change its structure.C. They fed special food to the fish to stop the bones’ growth.D. They combined the fish’s genes with the genes of a boneless fish.3. What was the main concern about creating the boneless crucian carp?A. It could change the fish’s taste and texture.B. It could increase the cost of raising the fish.C. It could threaten the safety of the ecosystem.D. It could influence the fishing industry badly.4. According to Li Shaowu, how will the boneless crucian carp affect us?A. It will create greater business opportunities.B. It will change the way we eat fish.C. It will be widely used in the fishing industry.D. It will lead people to have a more healthy diet. 1-5 BADCA 6-10 BDDCC1: ACBC  2: BBDD  3: DACB          （717）
