About 3,000 years ago , the Chinese people began celebrating the beginning of their calendar year with a joyful festival , Lunar New Year . Every year starts with a big feast . Then in many homes , after the feast is cleared , the whole family gathers to make dumplings late into the night .

There are many special foods of the New Year . The most common one is dumplings— traditionally these were made in homes in northern China , but now they ' ve spread around the world . They usually look like crescent moons(新月)or round balls . They may be similar to ancient Chinese money as well . They are filled with simple ingredients like pork and cabbage , which are said to bring fortune to the household .

" The whole family gathers to chat and make the dumplings , which are eaten between midnight and 2 a.m.,” says Grace Young , author of Stir-Frying to the Sky’s Edge , a book of Chinese recipes and stories , and The Breath of a Wok , a book of the traditional knowledge of the Chinese food .

In The Breath of a Wok, Lijun Wang , Chinese-American author Amy Tan’s sister , recalls fondly ," As the jiao-zi boiled , it was important not to remove the lid too soon ," says Lijun ." If you did , it could mean that you’d lose your fortune in the coming year . Sometimes we would put a coin inside one dumpling for luck ."

" And historically , on New Year ' s morning , it was customary not to cook but we were always happy to eat leftover (剩下的) jiao-zi ," says Anderson , professor of the University of California ," In northern China , food was pretty scarce , especially in the winter. People were down to what little meat and flour they had left . It just made sense to make dumplings when you wanted a little celebration but didn’t have a lot of money or food ."

Last May ," eco-mermaid " Merle Liivand broke her own world record for swimming with a single fin(脚蹼). She swam the distance of a full marathon in the rough waters of Biscayne Bay, Florida. She even picked trash out of the water as she swam.

Liivand was born in Estonia. As a child, she had health problems, and engaged in swimming to help her lungs get stronger. She was soon taking part in open water swimming contests, sometimes even in icy water.

Eleven years ago, Liivand moved to Miami, Florida, where she continued swimming in the ocean. In one training session, she nearly wound up swallowing some plastic that was floating in the sea. That experience made her think of all the sea animals that faced similar pollution every day. She decided to make people more aware of plastic pollution, which she calls a " plastic pandemic ".

Thinking about sea creatures gave Liivand the idea of swimming with a special single swimming fin attached to both of her feet. This rubbery " monofin " allows her to swim by kicking both of her legs together." Swimming with the monofin without using my arms is similar to how dolphins and other marine animals swim," says Liivand. She believes that swimming with a monofin sends a bigger message.

Liivand first set the world record for swimming with a monofin in 2019, when she swam 6.2 miles off the coast of California. In 2020, she broke the record again by swimming 12.8 miles in Miami, Florida. On 7 May last year, Liivand broke the record once more, this time swimming the length of a full marathon. It took her 11 hours and 54 seconds to swim 26.2miles. The water was rough, and she ran into a few problems, but she didn ' t stop." I got stung(蜇) by jellyfish," she said," and kept telling myself that it was not the time to cry."

Liivand picked up all the trash she found and put it in a kayak(皮艇). By the end of her marathon , the kayak held three bags full of trash." This isn’t just about a record. It' s about helping the community and the world ," she says.

28. Why did Liivand start swimming ?

 A. To protect sea creatures.                    B. To get trash out of the sea.

 C. To improve her physical condition.           D. To participate in swimming contests.

29. What made Liivand realize the marine plastic pollution ?

 A. Her moving to Miami, Florida .             B. Her training accident in the sea .

 C. Her experience of saving sea animals .       D. Her swimming with a rubbery monofin .

30. Which of the following words can best describe Liivand ?

 A. Self-confident and optimistic               B. Hard-working and considerate

 C. Well-educated and independent             D. Strong-minded and determined

31. What would be the best title for the text ?

 A ." Eco-Mermaid " picks up trash while swimming

 B ." Eco-Mermaid " loves swimming with a monofin

 C ." Eco-Mermaid " develops a unique way of swimming

 D ." Eco-Mermaid " swims a marathon to fight plastic pollution

D

My roommate and I sat very still and held our breath to watch the showdown between ice skaters Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan and Nathan Chen of the United States at the Beijing Winter Olympics. But when Mr Chen launched himself into the air, it wasn’t his movement that caught my eye—it was the empty seats in the audience behind him. They looked familiar. Those seats were where my parents had stood, my dad holding a video camera to record my daily practice sessions.

Born and raised in Beijing , I began skating at age 8. I’d seen Chinese pair skaters Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo’s performance at the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, Italy. They inspired a wave of national pride and made figure skating(花样滑冰) a mainstream sport in China. I joined the rush.

I spent most of my time outside school at the rink (溜冰场). One day, two intense years later, I ' d had enough. The pressure was too much. I told my parents I couldn ' t do it anymore. Thankfully, they understood and let me stop. But even after I quit, guilt and pressure stayed with me. My parents had sacrificed so much for me, and I felt I ' d failed to meet their expectations. Then I started a new athletic attempt—cross-country running that I still pursue today. Even so, I still enjoyed watching figure skating on TV from time to time.

Right before COVID -19 lockdowns began, I returned home to Beijing over winter break from college in the US. In my cupboard, I was surprised to find a shiny new pair of figure skates（滑冰鞋） my dad had bought for me. Then I brought the skates back with me to Boston.

This winter, I put on the skates again. I carefully stepped onto the ice at a Boston rink. And this time skating felt the way it had when I fell in love with it for the first time. I danced on the ice realizing that one cannot learn without falling sometimes—or often .

32. What brought back the author ' s childhood memory ?

 A. His interest in skating.                      B. The unoccupied seats.

 C. The noise from the audience.                 D. An action of Nathan Chen.

33. What can we learn about the author ?

 A. He preferred running to skating .

 B. He got tired of his college life in the US .

 C. He competed at the Beijing Winter Olympics .

 D. He skated under the influence of two Chinese skaters .

34. What is the author’s parents’attitude to his giving up skating ?

 A. Indifferent.       B. Disappointed.         C. Supportive.         D. Annoyed.

35. What will the author probably do next ?

 A. Pursue a career in skating.              B. Work as a coach in Beijing.

 C. Take up his previous hobby.             D. Start cross-country running.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Ripple, a cat in my family, liked to follow us everywhere they went. Our house was just a mile from my school. So instead of driving every day to my school, we would walk down a wooded path which was almost straight except for one fork(岔路) in the road a little way down the path. At the fork, we would turn left, which would take us the rest of the way to my school. If we turn right, the path would lead us deeper into the forest, far away from the town.

Ripple would follow us down that path every day. On weekdays, my dad and I would get ready for our walk, with Ripple following closely behind. When we got to school, my dad would drop me off inside as Ripple waited patiently at the door. After I was safely inside, my dad and Ripple would then start their journey home.

One day, it was snowing, and more snow was falling at a steady rate. Still, we headed out with Ripple following closely behind. We walked with heads down to avoid the blowing snow, and we barely spoke, as our faces were hidden into our coats. Because of this, when a small sound broke through the snow and the wind, we looked at each other in puzzlement, wondering if the other one had said something. But as we listened more, we found it couldn’ t be heard clearly, but was still there, and it made us both turn around to see what was making that noise in this white land.

注意：

I’m glad to learn that a new column named Tutors For You has been set up on your website. This is really a brilliant move for us English learners.

I also have a question to ask. In Chinese, we usually say " wanshouji ", which means someone is doing whatever he or she likes on bis or her mobile phone. I’m wondering what the idiomatic ways to express this meaning are?

Thanks a lot. Looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely yours ,

Li Hua

第二节

A good distance away from where we now stood, Ripple sat in the snow and the cold. She was so far away that I could hardly see her little brown body in the fog of white. She was meowing continuously, so my dad knew something must be wrong. But what was it? When we got to where she sat, my father realized something. She was standing in the fork in the road, the one where we were supposed to turn left. We had missed our turn, but Ripple had remembered . She tried to remind us of the best way she knew.

We admitted that Ripple had a better sense of direction than we had. And we set off down the correct path. This one would lead us to my preschool, not deeper into the woods. Ripple stopped her meowing as soon as she saw us going the correct way and followed us as usual all the way to my preschool. Then she went back through the storm with my dad to the warm house, where I was sure she would be praised and rewarded with a treat. If it wasn ' t for her, we wouldn ' t know where we were right now.
