As an undergraduate, he met his mentr Qian Zhngshu, a renwned Chinese schlar and writer. That year als witnessed his ne-sided lve t the girl sitting next t him in class.
Als in this year Xu translated a pem fr the first time — “Dn’t Cast Away”, written by Chines architect Lin Huiyin. At university, Xu gave utstanding perfrmances in English, Russian, French, while even hsting Shakespeare classes, clearly shwing a gift fr translatin. In 1941, at a receptin welcming General Claire Lee Chennault, cmmander f the US Army Air Frce “Flying Tigers”, Xu, wh was a senir student at the time, brrwed Lincln’s well-knwn phrase “f the peple, by the peple, fr the peple” in rder t refer t Sun Yat-sen’s “Three Principles f the peple (三民主义)”, slving the cmmunicatin difficulty between the Chinese and American representatives. It sn became a stry n everyne’s lips. Because f this, Xu was regarded as ne f the “Five Geniuses” f the Natinal Suthwest Assciated University. In 1949, Xu Yuanchng was studying in France. After his graduatin, Xu returned t China and devted himself t educatin and translatin. In 1979, Xu first prpsed the “Three Beauties Thery” in a letter t schlar Zhu Guangqian. Accrding t his thery, a gd translatr shuld cnvey the beauty in image, the beauty in sund and the beauty in frm, t his readers in his translated wrks. Xu managed t be such a translatr himself.

Capentes is a waste picker. She cllects bags f separated garbage, placing fd waste in ne cntainer. This material will be turned int cmpst (堆肥) at the lcal recycling facility. The rest f the waste ges int separate cntainers. The recyclable materials are later sld.
The Mther Earth Fundatin in the Philippines is a member f the Glbal Alliance fr Incineratr Alternatives, called GAIA.The rganizatin wants t prevent fd waste frm ging t landfills (垃圾填埋场). Fd waste gives ff methane (甲烷) gas as it breaks dwn. Methane is a pwerful greenhuse gas. Methane traps mre heat than carbn dixide. But it des nt stay in the atmsphere nearly as lng—arund 12 years cmpared with hundreds f years.
GAIA says preventing rganic waste frm ging t landfills r being burned is a prven and cst-effective climate slutin. The envirnmental rganizatin supprts its members, including waste pickers, arund the wrld. GAIA is wrking with gvernments t set up systems t separate and cllect rganic waste and establish facilities t cmpst it.
At a materials recycling facility in Malabn, rganic waste cllected frm husehlds is turned int cmpst. This material then ges int a cmmunity garden t grw vegetables. Sme f the fd waste is brken dwn int bigas. This bigas is then used t ck vegetables fr waste wrkers t eat. It is a cmplete cycle, said Frilan Grate, chief f GAIA Asia Pacific, based in Manila.
Grate said there are challenges in establishing these systems in new places. It csts mney t set up a facility fr cmpsting. Peple, including lcal fficials, have t be educated n the imprtance f separating waste. Cntainers have t be prvided t husehlds that cannt buy mre than ne. And smetimes separating rganic waste is nt thught t be imprtant. Als, unlike recyclables and metals, there is nt a large market fr rganic materials. Therefre, waste wrkers must be paid fr the system t wrk.
But Grate believes these prblems can be slved. Mre peple are making the cnnectin between reducing methane and fighting climate change. The wrld needs better systems fr dealing with waste because the current methds are adding t warming. The treatment f rganic matter is an imprtant way t reduce methane gas.
8.What is GAIA currently cmmitted t?
A.Getting rid f fd waste by burying it.
B.Reducing the impact f rganic waste n the climate.
C.Ecnmizing n fd.
D.Reducing the harm f carbn dixide.
9.What is the main idea f Paragraph 4?
A.The methd t cllect waste.B.The prcess t treat rganic waste.
C.Hw t use a recycling facility.D.The wide use f rganic waste.
10.Which statement supprts the challenge Grate mentined?
A.Cllecting rganic waste des nt require significant investment.
B.Every husehld needs t cnstantly replace the latest trash cans.
C.Organic waste hlds a large share in the garbage market.
D.Families need t develp the habit f garbage srting.
11.What can be the best title fr the text?

Shrtly after its pening n the first day f Chinese New Year, The Wandering Earth began t gain mmentum (展现强劲势头). In a little ver a week, it made 2.8 billin yuan in the dmestic market alne. The film’s ppularity and success has cme as a surprise t many reviewers especially since there hasn’t been that much success fr Chinese-prduced science fictin in the past. Many agree that this film will change the embarrassing situatin and bring in a new age fr Chinese science fictin.
As a genre (类型), Chinese science fictin has lagged behind general fictin in bth the film and publishing industries. Even Liu Cixin’s (the authr wh wrte the shrt stry n which The Wandering Earth is based) The Three Bdy Prblem —which is currently quite ppular — didn’t have many readers until it was translated int English and wn the Hug Award (雨果奖) in 2015. Persnally, I haven’t read much f any genre written in Chinese, but I d ntice that there aren’t many separate sectins f the bkstre dedicated t science fictin. I cannt speak fr everyne, but sme peple seem t have misunderstandings regarding the genre.
My parents were the type wh tried t steer me in the directin f nn-fictin and the classics. They believed that science fictin and fantasy were “unrealistic nnsense” and wuld “rt my brain.” Actually, great science fictin writers d their research. Mre ften than nt, ne can learn a great deal abut science and its pssible develpment frm reading science fictin. Sure, sme f the cncepts may be cnfusing r technical in nature, but that is als part f the appeal. Things like the internet, electric cars and tablet cmputers were first therized (建立理论) in science fictin befre they were invented. The authr simply uses a cmbinatin f science and their imaginatin t create wrlds different frm the Earth f tday, frm which we can get bits and pieces that can be turned int a reality.
The wrld is changing. There may very well be a time when Earth is n lnger able t sustain the entire ppulatin. We culd be living n Mars r in giant spaceships; perhaps we will be frced t mve Earth t a new slar system just like The Wandering Earth. Each f these scenaris has appeared in science fictin multiple times. If we are t be prepared fr what is t cme, we can lk int mdern science fictin fr a windw int the future.
12.Accrding t the article, which f the fllwing statements abut The Wandering Earth is NOT true?
A.Critics did nt expect t much f the film befre its release.
B.It is the first time that Chinese science fictin has succeeded in the film industry.
C.The film was adapted frm a shrt stry in Liu Cixin’s The Three Bdy Prblem.
D.In the future we might be faced with similar crises t the ne described in the mvie.
13.We can learn frm the article that the authr ________.
A.has little interest in science fictin
B.has never read Chinese science fictin
C.was nt allwed t read science fictin by his parents
D.has nt been prepared fr the future develpment f science and technlgy.
14.Paragraph 3 mainly fcuses n ________.
A.the practical significance f science fictin
B.real technlgies inspired by science fictin
C.peple’s misunderstandings abut science fictin
D.imaginary wrlds created by science fictin writers
15.What des the underlined wrd “scenaris” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A.strategiesB.prpsalsC.ideasD.pictures

It was a great pity when ne day I heard that the Sunshine Bkstre was clsing after fifty years f business. I was als heartbrken. The bkstre was a place where anyne in the neighbrhd culd drp by (顺便拜访) and be cnnected thrugh their lve f bks.
When I hurried t the stre, I saw the bks were being packed int bxes. Sighing deeply, the stre’s elderly wner, Thmas, tld me hw it was becming difficult t run an independent bkstre. Mst yung peple preferred t read e-bks n tablets. Custmers were being attracted by chain stres and nline discunts. I tried t think f sme wrds f sympathy, but I had t admit that the Sunshine Bkstre culdn’t stay in business much lnger.
Childhd memries came flding back. A bunch f us kids wuld frequently drp int the stre after schl, lking at the new bks, r just chatting with ld Thmas. He knew every bk in the stre and wuld always pick the perfect ne fr us. We spent hurs reading, seated n the stre’s ld, but cmfrtable furniture. Thmas encuraged us t share ur ideas and cmments n the bks by writing them n a large bard in ne crner f the stre.
When I left the bkstre, it was becming cld and dark utside. I turned t wave gdbye t Thmas, but bth he and his bkstre were already hidden in a thick mist. It made me realize that the bkstre and all that ld Thmas had given t the cmmunity culd sn disappear fr gd.
A few mnths later, I was back in the neighbrhd frm my vacatin and was surprised t see that the Sunshine Bkstre was still there and pen fr business. Its ld brick utside hadn’t changed, but inside it was like a different wrld. Clearly, the Sunshine Bkstre was in gd and creative hands.
I was tld that the cmmunity had decided t wrk tgether n a campaign t save the Sunshine Bkstre. The campaign had been led by Martin, a salesman wh had grwn up in the neighbrhd and wh was helping Thmas run the bkstre.
