If you come across two drivers who stop in the middle of the road in this richly forested island community, they’re probably arguing — about how to improve the local fairgrounds (游乐场), or property taxes, or the teen drop-in center. They argue about everything in South Whidbey, Washington, and that’s a good thing.

“Don’t bother to honk your horn (按喇叭),” resident Susan Knickerbocker says. “When they’re done, they’ll be done. They won’t move before that, so you just wait it out.”

This frequent scene is one sign that people care deeply about their town. “We argue passionately about where we want our community to go,” says Josh Burnett, who writes for the South Whidbey Record. “But at the end of the day, we’ll all say hi and shake hands at the farmers’ market on the weekend.”

That love for debate — passionate and constructive — has made South Whidbey residents intensely proud. Because, as stubborn as they are, everyone gets to work. That’s how they have created a first-class food bank and a no-kill animal shelter; developed new methods for residents to make — and accept — donations of veterinary (兽医的) services, oil changes, and advice on paying medical bills; and more. One group of volunteers is well-known for rescuing abused horses.

Another resident, Linda Briere, wrote on the Reader’s Digest Facebook page, “The love of country, joy of living, and the let-the-other guy-live-but-with-a-helping-hand make me proud.”

Of course, working for the greater good is what many communities do. What’s unusual about South Whidbey is that residents pull together despite the kinds of cultural differences that make progress difficult in so many other parts of the country. South Whidbey is home to sizable populations of farmers, artists, Christians, retired vets, Republicans, Democrats, and independents, and the clash (碰撞) of ideas inspires them.

The one thing they never disagree on is that their island is profoundly special.

24. How does the writer lead in Para.1?

A. By making comparisons.       B. By giving examples.

C. By providing statistics.        D. By offering possibilities.

25. What can you do if you run into two drivers in South Whidbey arguing in the middle of the

road?

A. Give suggestions.         B. Wait until they finish.

C. Ask them to shake hands.       D. Prevent them from fighting.

26. Which of the following can best describe people in South Whidbey?

A. Passionate for their hometown.      B. Proud of farmer’s market.

C. Satisfied with their property taxes.     D. Ridiculous in their behavior.

27. What is mainly discussed about South Whidbey in this passage?

A. Its beautifully forested surrounding.     
B. Some people with different cultures.

C. The special feature of the community.     
D. Its brief history and different customs.

C

When thinking about shadow puppetry (皮影戏), most Chinese people are reminded of their experience of watching shadow play in some temple fairs during big festivals when they were little. But now, one can enjoy a whole shadow show just by putting on a Virtual Reality (VR) headset, which makes shadow puppetry easily accessible to us.

This VR game is designed by China Institute of Art Science & Technology affiliated (附属的) to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. “We’ve been looking for a connection between traditional art and modern technology, hoping that the people can appreciate the beauty of shadow puppetry and get to know more about this traditional art via the VR game,” said the VR game designer Zhang Qing, associate professor with the institute.

Shadow puppetry is a Chinese folk art known for its unique storytelling techniques via figures made from cowhide (牛皮) and a lit-up backdrop (幕布) that creates the illusion (幻觉) of moving images, which can date back more than 2,000 years to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). However, as films and TV series gradually became major entertainment options since the late 1980s, shadow plays declined, with many performers shifting jobs.

In order to bring the ancient art back to life via VR, Zhang, together with her team, has been to many shadow puppetry museums across the country and visited puppeteers at Houma city in north China’s Shanxi Province where Shadow puppetry once became successful.

As the VR industry is heating up in China, the cutting-edge technology was recently adopted in many aspects in culture and tourism. For example, in Shanghai, with a simple scan to the QR codes on the wall of the historical architecture, visitors can know culture and history behind old bricks with text, audio video and 360 VR Panoramas in the smartphone.

Another VR plus intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage (遗产) project of Zhang has been put on the agenda. “Peking Opera and Kunqu opera are next attempt. With a VR headset, people would feel like one of the performers on the stage in the virtual environment. It would be a brand-new approach to access traditional Chinese opera. ” Zhang said.

28. In the majority’s impression, where was Chinese shadow puppetry usually played?

A. On an audio video.        B. In a historical architecture.   
C. At a museum.         D. At a temple fair.

29. What is the author’s attitude towards the VR headset?

A. Favorable.            B. Doubtful.      
C. Reserved.        D. Contradictory.

30. What does Zhang Qing plan to do in the near future?

A. Ask puppeteers to learn more about the art.

B.Visit Shanghai to know its culture and history.

C. Design 360 VR Panoramas in the smartphone.

D. Combine VR with Peking Opera and Kunqu opera.

31. What’s the best title for the whole text?

A.VR Helps Chinese Shadow Puppetry out of Shadow  
B.VR Becomes a Brand-new Way to Access Tourism

C. Shadow Puppetry Wins Affection   
D.Traditional Art Goes out of Focus

Back to books, the joy of slow reading

Ten years ago, I typed the phrase “slow reading” into the Web search engine. I found reports about dyslexia(阅读障碍) and eye disorders. In these cases, slow reading is a problem.   36   You will learn how slow reading cuts stress and improves comprehension.

When I first questioned the Web about slow reading, it was a small act of resistance against information overload. I was an early adopter of Kindle (电子阅读器). It is convenient to carry a library on a small device. Books are shorter.   37   Our brains are “plastic” and they are adaptable. They have adapted to the new technologies.

We benefit from centuries of evolution of the written language and reading technologies. It is good for the kind of reading in which I scroll (划屏) from beginning to end without interruption. Not all text deserves slow reading. We look through most information online. We read continuously in fragments (碎片) on digital devices.   38   Especially when we attempt a book of art or a complex text on e-readers, we will feel pain. The print book gives instant access to any point in a work. We brush the pages, estimating (估计) how much reading remains.    39  

Reading is a reflective act, shared with others.    40    And we can read more deeply. This choice removes the unnecessary pressure from reading, and restores it as a pleasure.

A. My attention span is shorter, too.

B. There is nothing better than reading in the wild.

C. But reading online is not the best for pleasure reading.

D. We can choose to select fewer books for reading.

E. In this way, we can feel the pleasure of slow reading with the print book.

F. Therefore, taking an e-reader with you should never fail you.

G. However, slowness in the pace of reading and thinking are often desirable.

Habits, whether good and bad, are gradually formed. When a person do a certain thing again and again, he’ll be forced to do it in same way. Thus a habit is formed.

Although a habit is formed, it is difficult and sometimes almost impossible to get rid of it. Therefore, we should take care of in the formation of habits.

Good habits have many advantage. Going to bed early and getting up early can make us health. Reading newspapers every day can keep us informing of the news happening around the world.
