Though very cold temperatures continue to trouble the US, an act of kindness has warmed everyone. In Chicago a young man provided a homeless old man with the proper footwear-from his own feet. Jessica Bell, a passenger, saw everything and posted the story on Facebook.

According to her Facebook post, Bell was taking the train home on Friday when she noticed a homeless old man sitting across from her. Bell wrote that the man was wearing tattered (破烂的) shoes, and many pairs of socks to keep his feet warm, but there was blood seeping (渗) through.

On the same train was another man. According to Bell's description, he was young, was carrying a bag and a suitcase. He was wearing big black snow boots (靴子), which looked new and expensive. They were built for a Chicago winter. Then he did a good thing.

Bell described that the young man took off his own boots and passed them to the old man. He opened his suitcase and gave him a pair of socks as well. Then the young man put on a different pair of shoes-not as nice as the ones he had given away. He told the old man to try them on and helped him clean his feet and change into the new boots as quickly as he could, and then left the train.

At the end of her post, Bell wrote, "I love my city. I love that in a time and place where a quiet act of kindness appears without warning."

The story has received thousands of comments (评论), with many people describing how moving they found the act of kindness. One wrote, "We can all learn from that young man." Others are thanking Bell for sharing the story-there are still good people in the world.

A. on a train B. on a weekend C. in summer

Surely you have used emoji (表情符号) while talking with friends on your phone or computer.    24    For example, the emoji was introduced in 2019, and the emoji in 2020. The year 2022 is no different, and you may have used new emoji such as and .

All the emoji come from a company called Unicode Consortium in California, USA.    25    However, it's not the company that comes up with these new characters. "It's important for people to understand that we're not inventing languages, and that it's really the public who create it," Jennifer Daniel from the company says.

The first emoji was created in Japan in the 1990s by designer Shigetaka Kurita.    26    An emoji takes only one character, but it can express many things. Emoji have since become popular around the world.

Anyone can make emoji, and if they are creative enough, Unicode will accept them. You might need the help of a parent, a teacher or your classmates to come up with a successful idea.    27    They include whether they are new and different, whether they will be used often and whether they can have multiple usages (多种用法). You can send your ideas to unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html.

   28    You can often see it be used to show how people are feeling. What's more, it carries many meanings. For example, when someone uses it, it doesn't only mean he's sad but could also mean he finds something really funny!

What kind of pets do people have in your country? Dogs? Cats? How about a duck, a hippo (河马) or a lion? Here are a few cases of animal owners with unusual pets.

Barrie Hayman has a pet duck called Star. He takes Star with him everywhere he goes. "I put him in my pocket (口袋)," said Barrie. Now, at five months, Star is too big for Barrie's pocket, but the two are still inseparable (形影不离的). They even share a drink.

Then there's the case of Tonie and Shirley Joubert of South Africa. They live with their pet hippo, Jessica. Tonie, a game warden (野生动物保护区的管理员), saved Jessica when she was only a day old. Jessica lives outside their riverside house, but she knows how to open the kitchen door, and often goes there for a snack. Jessica is free to leave, but she always returns home at night.

But people with unusual pets are nothing new. In London in 1969, Anthony and John bought a baby lion. The lion was called Christian. He lived with Anthony and John in their apartment above the furniture (家具) shop they owned. By day, Christian would play in the furniture shop, and at night he'd sit on their knees while they read or watched TV. But Christian quickly grew too large for the shop, and he was starting to frighten (吓唬) the customers. So, Christian was flown to Kenya where a game warden reintroduced him to the wild. A year later, Anthony and John missed Christian very much, so they decided to visit him. The game warden took Anthony and John to where Christian had last been seen. Very soon the lion appeared. He stopped for a while, then broke into a run and jumped into Anthony and John's arms. The three spent two happy days together.

In ancient times, there was the legend of “Chang'e flying to the moon". In the Ming Dynasty, the first solid (固体的) rocket was tested. Chinese people have always dreamed of flying into the sky for thousands of years. Here's how things have developed.

Flying into the space

On April 24, 1970, China's first man-made satellite (卫星) was sent up into space. In memory of this success, that day was made Space Day of China. Since then, the country has been on a challenging but hopeful space journey.

The manned spacecraft (载人航天器) took more than 30 years. The Shenzhou-5 spacecraft was launched (发射) in2003. Yang Liwei became China's first astronaut to go into space.

Exploring (探索) the moon

In 2007, Chang'e-1, which travelled around the moon, was launched. It took photos of the moon. Information collected by Chang'e-I was used to create a 3D map of the moon's surface. In January 2019, Chang'e-4 lander (着陆器) successfully put its Yutu 2 rover (月球车) on the far side of the moon, which is very different from the near side that we can see from the earth. In November 2020, China launched the Chang'e-5 spacecraft. It carried a special rover onto the moon to collect samples (样本) from the surface of the moon.

Setting up the space lab

In 2011, the first space lab Tiangong-I was sent into orbit (轨道). And Liu Yang became the first Chinese woman in space in 2012. In 2016, China launched its second space lab, Tiangong-2 into orbit. In June 2021, the Shenzhou-12 spaceship lifted off at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, which was the first time that Chinese people had entered our own space station.

The history of Chinese space exploration

No pains, no gains. These achievements were hard-won. Over the years, Chinese scientists have created a tradition of non-stopping hard work under very difficult conditions to solve very important problems and achieve success. That is also called the China Space Spirit. So many people agree that if dreams have color, it must be space blue.

34. Why does the writer mention "Chang'e flying to the moon" and the first solid rocket?
