"Wow, you are so cool!" What kind of person would you say this to?
In the past century, "cool" has become richer in meaning. It is now not only a word, but a style and even a life philosophy.
In the 1930s, being "cool" became a top word of praise in US slang (习语). Back in the day, it was cool to stay calm and be wise.
According to Joel Dinerstein, a professor at Tulane University in the US, today's "cool" is all about being caring. To be cool is to know and care about what is happening in the world, according to his students. Now, a person is cool if they have a say on social or political issues (政治问题), such as climate change.
A study by researchers at the University of Arizona in the US found the key to being "cool" lies in the will to follow one's own path in life. Cool people choose their own path no matter what others think. This trend was also seen in a 2017 survey done by Google. The results showed that teenagers thought of stars who do charity work and keep real as the "coolest".
So, what caused this change? The answer lies with the younger generation and the world they are growing up in. In the US, for example, Gen Zers often come from different races and care less about gender norms (性别规范), according to the news website Quartz. Also, with the growing use of social media, their ideas travel faster and farther.
(1)、According to the passage, what was considered "cool" in the 1930s?A、Being smart and fashionable. B、Being calm and wise. C、Being popular and outgoing. D、Being caring about social issues.(2)、What is the key to be a "cool" person today, according to the University of Arizona?A、Following the latest trends in fashion. B、Being caring about others' feelings. C、Following one's own decisions. D、Not caring about others' actions.(3)、What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A、To stress(强调) how social media influences people's opinions about "cool". B、To provide a summary of the historical meanings of "cool". C、To explain the reasons behind the changes in the concept of "cool". D、To show a different idea about the meaning of "cool".(4)、How does the author organize the information in the passage?A、By listing reasons why being "cool" is important. B、By comparing different meanings of "cool" over time. C、By describing the life of a famous person who is "cool". D、By explaining how social media affects today's young people.(5)、Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A、B、

Saihanba is China's largest forest. It lies on the south of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (内蒙古自治区). Saihanba means "beautiful and high mountains".
Around the 10th century, the rulers of the Liao Dynasty (916—1125) made it a royal (皇家的) hunting place because it was home to beautiful forests, green grasslands, clear lakes and different kinds of wild animals. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1644—1911) liked Saihanba so much that he made hunting there a royal festival. The royal festival finally stopped in 1860 because of no money and it had to be open to the public. After that, the cutting down of trees and wild fires changed green Saihanba into gray deserts. By the 1950s, the beauty of Saihanba had completely disappeared with only one tree left. The tree is now famous as "the Tree of Honor".
