We all know that people are having much more stress than before. Luckily, a new study has found an easy way to do with the problem. According to the researchers from the University of Hyogo in Japan, small green plants on the desk can greatly reduce (减少) people's stress.
More than 60 people from different jobs took part in the study. Half of them worked as usual without any plants, and the other half worked with plants on their desks. Then researchers used a standard test (标准测试) to find out their stress levels. More than 90% of office workers showed lower stress level after taking a three-minute rest to look at their plant.
The study has also found that it does not matter whether people were directly looking at their plant or only putting the plant near their computer. When people could see a green plant in their working place, their stress level changed greatly. What is more, researchers found it worked for everyone no matter how old they were and what their job was.
“People used to go out of their houses and enjoy themselves in nature, but now they don't have much time to do it,” one of the researchers said. “Lucky for them, our study has found out that a small green plant is as useful as a large forest.”

A. The plants on a desk can help people of all ages to feel better.
B. The plants on a desk can only help office workers feel less stressed
C. Now people don't have much time to go out of their houses to enjoy the nature.
D. The Japanese study has found that a small green plant is as useful as a large forest.

If I could catch a rainbow (彩虹)
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity(宁静)
A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles
I would toss (扔) them in the sea
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best
A friend that's always there.

It’s not often that two problems add up to one solution (解决方案), but Mr. Than Tun Win has made it happen. His programme LessWalk takes the problem of wasted shared bikes and turns them into an easy way for students in Myanmar (缅甸) to travel a long way to school.
In the last few years, companies like oBike and Ofo began flooding (挤满) streets in places like China, Japan and Singapore with bikes. But it didn't take long before there were too many bikes. Some companies went out of business, leaving behind thousands of new shared bikes.
Mr. Than Tun Win realized that these bikes could do good for students in Myanmar: some of them travel an hour or more on foot every day to school, “If they spent less time on the way, they could have more time studying and have better chance of finding good jobs,” he said.
Soon Mr. Than Tun Win raised around $400,000 and bought shared bikes and shipped them to Myanmar. It wasn't easy—there was much paperwork in moving the bikes from one country to another.
Once in Myanmar, the bikes are changed to make them more useful for students. They added a second place in the back of the bikes, allowing two children to ride, and changed the bike's tyres (轮胎) with solid (实心的) ones.
Though LessWalk began in March 2019, the programme has brought 22,500 bikes into Myanmar and given out over 7,200 bikes that year. Mr. Than Tun Win hopes to bring in 100,000 bikes and expand (扩展) the programme to Laos and Cambodia (老挝和柬埔寨).
48. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. The programme LessWalk has solved two problems at the same time.
B. There are too many wasted shared bikes on the streets everywhere.
C. The students in Myanmar are so poor that they have to walk to school.
D. Mr. Than Tun Win can often find a solution to solve two problems.
49. Why did Mr. Than Tun Win buy and ship the shared bikes to Myanmar?
A. To make much money. B. To change the bikes better.
C. To help the students there. D. To help the bike companies.
50. From the passage, we can infer that _______.
A. there will be too many companies and too many bikes on the streets
B. free shared bikes will be given out to poor students in Laos and Cambodia
C. many children in Myanmar prefer to walk to school rather than go by bike
D. Mr. Than Tun Win has made much money through the programme LessWalk
51. If we put the passage into 4 parts, which of the following is the best?
A. ① /②③ /④⑤ /⑥ B. ① /② /③④⑤ /⑥
C. ①② /③④ /⑤ /⑥ D. ①② /③ /④ /⑤⑥

Bing Dwen Dwen, a panda in an ice shell (壳), was chosen as the mascot (吉祥物) for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics in 2019. Now it has been made into fluffy (毛绒绒的) toys and plastic models, as well as printed on notebooks, badges (徽章) and bags.
“The International Olympic Committee has found that successful mascots had to be cuddly (令人想拥抱的) and liked by 9-year-old children,” said Cao Xue, the chief designer (首席设计师) of Bing Dwen Dwen. "And I knew Bing Dwen Dwen would be." Cao's team once made three designs, and Cao asked his 9-year-old son to choose his favorite. "At his first glance (一瞥), he chose Bing Dwen Dwen, which was the final mascot," Cao noted.

They faced a problem, though: there were already too many cartoon pandas. Cao’s team looked at panda designs from around the world. They wanted to make sure their panda was different.
For this reason, Cao decided it should be a baby panda. This is how they got Bing Dwen Dwen's body shape. Its body has the same length as its head.
“When we finally got Bing Dwen Dwen, our whole team was over the moon,” said Cao. “Now I can't wait to see it greet the world at the Olympics opening ceremony (典礼).”

Mr Chen is a farmer who lives in western China with his wife and two sons. One year ago, he had cancer (癌症). The doctor told him that he needed an operation (手术) at once.

The environment on the earth is becoming worse and worse. The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and for our later generations.
Everyone can do something for our environment. In the past, I did some small things to protect the environment. For example, I ran to school instead of taking a bus every morning, and it made me feel healthier. In order to protect the forest, I tried to use both sides of paper whenever it was possible. I did not use things like paper cups or disposable chopsticks because they were made of wood. If I was the last to leave the classroom, I remembered to turn off the lights to save the electricity in my daily life.
I believe that doing all these small things will improve our environment and help make our earth more beautiful.
