In this challenge, young petitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the petition, the petitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the shows popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy (书法) to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without puterized help. Software on smart phones and puters allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list The result? Its possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.But theres still hope for the paint brush. Chinas Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teachers examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin, “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they dont forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.21. What can we learn about the Character Hero?_A. Its the most-viewed TV programs in China.B. Its open to people of all ages and all walks.C. It draws great public attention across the country.D. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.22. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?A. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C. Chinese people neednt write by hand as often with the help of technology.D. Chinese people dont refer to dictionaries very often.23. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is _.A. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture aliveB. a requirement made by the Education MinistryC. necessary for adults to survive in ChinaD. an ability to be developed only when you are students24. Where does this text probably e from? _A. A science report.B. A news report. C. Childrens literature. D. An advertisement.BPlan on traveling around the USA this summer? If you need help in arranging the trip, or want ideas about where to go and what to do, there are a number of outstanding websites that can make your American dream e true.byways.orgThe National Scenic Byways Program covers 150 memorable roads. Some are natural routes, such as Route 1 along the California coast. Others focus on history (such as Route 6) or man-made attractions (the Las Vegas Strip).

When with close friends, she bees a leader who laughs loudly and chants, “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that fort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she pleted her first kids triathlon (三项全能).On Saturday, with a thunderstorm ing soon and my sons birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment shed need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasnt because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadnt seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.Shine on, sweet baby.29. Kelly is nervous when _.A. boys are around herB. she changes into a leaderC. she is away from her momD. situations are new to her30. We can know from Paragraph 3 _.A. the race began in the early morning B. the whole family gave Kelly supportC. Kelly was eager for her turn in the raceD. Kelly prepared for her brothers birthday party31. In the ending paragraphs the author “felt like I won that day” because Kelly _.A. overcame the fearB. expressed love to herC. won the gold medalD. took part in the sportDThe world seems gloomy (阴沉的) and gray when youre feeling blue. In fact, being down might even affect how you perceive (感知) the colour blue. A recent study about colour was published in the journal Psychological Science. It shows a direct connection between a persons ability to perceive colour and their emotions.Psychologists have long known that emotions can affect the way people perceive things. Thats in part because chemicals from your brain might affect how you process what you see. “Color is such an important part of our experience,” says lead author Christopher Thorstenson, a psychologist at the university of Rochester, in New York. Theres reason, he says, that sad people monly describe the world as “colourless” and “gray”, and happy people use words like “bright” and “colorful”.In the experiment, the researchers randomly assigned people to one of two groups. People in the sadness group watched a sad scene from The Lion King. Those in the “amusement” group watched a edy.Everyone was then asked to look at red, yellow, green, and blue patches (斑点) that had been changed to a grayish colour. “Some of the patches are pretty difficulty to make out,” Thorstenson admits he says it takes some time to figure out their shade. People were scored on how accurate their colour perception was. Then they pleted an emotional evaluation.The result? Sad people had a hard time seeing the difference between shades along the blue-yellow colour axis (色轴). But they did not have problems seeing colours in the red-green spectrum (光谱). Thorstenson says this could be the result of an evolutionary need to see red as a response to anger. Thorstenson says these results highlight the possible important of dopamine in sight. Dopamine is a chemical that sends signals to the brain. Researchers are hoping to focus more on dopamine in the future. “We know dopamine affects how we see colours, too,” Thorstenson says “How we feel can really influence how we see the world around us” he says.32. According to paragraph 2, how people describe the world reflects_.A. how they feelB. how they thinkC. their world viewD. their language skills33. In the experiment, the participants were asked to watch different programs so as to _.A. check their feelingsB. influence their moodsC. develop their interestsD. test their personalities34. Why were the patches made grayish in the experiment?_A. To make them look prettierB. To make them hard to recognizeC. Because it changed the participants attitudes D. Because it was good for the participants eyes35. Which colour is easier to recognize for sad people? _A. BlueB. YellowC. RedD.
