In 1921, long before the Walt Disney Company turned Pooh（维尼熊）into an international star of TV and films, Christopher Robin Milne was given a toy bear on his first birthday from his father, A. A. Milne, who bought the stuffed animal from a store. The stuffed animal was named Edward Bear. Years later, Edward was named Winnie. From the time Christopher Robin Milne was a baby until he was about 8 years old, he would receive different stuffed animals.

A. A. Milne was a famous English writer. As he watched his son interact（互动）with Winnie and friends, A. A. Milne thought his child's interaction with the collection of animals would make a great bedtime story. So Milne worked with artist Emest H. Shepard and wrote the first Winnie the Pooh poem,

where Edward Bear was known as "Teddy Bear". The writings appeared in Punch magazine and in the book they wrote together, When We Were Very Young, which was published in 1924. In a four-year period, three more books that focused on the bear and his team followed: 1926's Winntie-the-Pooh, 1927's Now We Are Six, and 1928's The House at Pooh Corner.

The books and poems about Pooh brought great success to the writer, and the characters became favorites with young children and their families around the world. Their popularity led Disney to get the rights（版权）to make films about the characters in 1961. Five years later, Pooh, Tiger, Piglet and the rest of the team appeared on screen for the first time in Winnie-the-Pooh and the Honey Tree.

As a deputy（代表）to the 14th National People＇s Congress（全国人民代表大会）, Jin Ruirui, 33, wore a traditional Yi costume and brought Yi embroidery（彝绣） to this year＇s two sessions（两会）. Jin is an inheritor（传承人）of the Yi embroidery of Chuxiong Yi autonomous prefecture（楚雄彝族自治州）, Southwest China＇s Yunnan province. She has brought proposals（建议）for developing the local embroidery industry and promoting women's employment.

Jin was among the first group of college students in her village, but instead of working in big cities, she chose to come back to her hometown to set up her own Yi embroidery company. “My mother raised me with the money she made as an embroiderer. I want to carry on her skills and help more embroiderers who are just like my mother-they might not get much education, but they know well about our local culture, " said Jin. Jin went on field trips to many local villages and found that there were many left-behind children with their parents working far away in big cities. “Think about how good it will be if embroidery can bring them enough money so that they can work at home and stay together with their children, " Jin said, remembering how she started her career.

With the support from the local government and the hard work of people like Jin, Yi embroidery has become a growing industry. They train embroiderers and hire designers to make the embroidery pieces more trendy（时髦的）. They hold fashion shows promoting Yi costumes in big cities like Beijingand Shanghai and do business with other provinces and even foreign countries. Jin just got an export （出口） order of 6, 500 Yi embroidered costumes to the UK last month.

During the past 10 years, more than 60, 000 Yi women in Chuxiong have taken part in the local Yi embroidery industry. Their average （平均） monthly income grew from about 500 yuan to around 3, 000 yuan. “Now, even some men have started to work as embroiderers, taking up about 4 percent of the workforce staff, " Jin added. “We have made our lives better with our traditional culture and skills. ”

30. What do we know about Jin Ruirui according to the passage?

A. She is one of the left-behind children in the far-away villages.

B. She has worked in big cities after graduating from university.

C. She does business with people from the UK.

D. She has brought proposals to help children get better education in the countryside.

31. Which might NOT be the reason for developing the Yi embroidery industry?

A. To keep this traditional skill alive.

B. To work as a deputy to the National People's Congress.

C. To help local women get employed.

D. To improve the local people's income.

32. According to the passage, Jin Ruirui probably agrees that

A. men had better take part in the workforce of embroiderers

B. deputies should wear traditional clothes to attend important meetings

C. it's necessary for us to carry on our traditional culture and skills

D. we might not know our local culture well unless we get much education

（C）

When we hear the word “virus”. we naturally think of something dangerous. However, some viruses coexist（共存）with us and we can even make good use of some of them, according to recent studies.

Biologists suggest that 380 trillion viruses are living on and within your body right now. These viruses are together known as the human virome（病毒组）. Some can cause illness, but many simply coexist with you.

It appears that our viromes begin to accumulate when we are born. Studies have shown different viruses in the babies' bodies shortly after birth, suggesting that they probably come from the babies' mothers.

The viromes grow in number as the kids grow up. They are not likely to change during adulthood. “The virome looks like a partner that can affect our daily lives positively as well as negatively（负面地）. We could even use the virome to improve our own health, " said David Pride, an expert from the US.

One way is to use parts of viruses to cure diseases. Researchers in the US have purified1（提纯）an enzyme（酶）from a virus that kills bacteria（细菌）found in patients.

The other way is to develop viruses' value. Many viruses in our viromes infect bacteria. When the viruses move around the body, some arrive at the surfaces of our bodies such as the nose, throat and stomach. Viruses cannot divide or produce exact copies of themselves there, but they can wait for bacteria to arrive. This process makes it possible to prevent us from getting certain diseases.

33. What does the underlined word “accumulate” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. produce matters

B. create problems

C. increase the quantity

D. examine the body

34. How can viruses benefit people?

A. They make enzyme that can cure cancer.

B. They help people keep away from some diseases.

C. They can turn harmful bacteria into a harmless one.

D. They can copy themselves to kill harmful bacteria.

35. What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?

A. To explain how viruses can be very useful.

B. To describe how viruses come into being.

C. To show the importance of human viromes.

D. To introduce our relationship with viruses.

36. Where is this text most likely from?

A. A technology newspaper.

B. A science fiction.

C. A health guidebook.

D. A biology magazine.
