    Li Jianguo, a 49-year-old teacher at the Tianjin Vocational Institute, is set to be named as one of the "2022 most beautiful teachers" — an annual public award sponsored by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Ministry of Education.

    Li has stood out by taking the lead in the training of students in vocational skills, gaining a number of honors including being named a national role model teacher. He has mentored seven national-level technique experts and a team of 14 technique "masters". One of his students, Guo Jinpeng, who graduated from the institute in 2007, became a college teacher at the Chengdu Auto Vocational and Technical School and was named a national role model teacher in 2019.

    Li's nomination as one of the "most beautiful teachers" reflects that China is focusing on the importance of vocational education and aims to foster more leading personnel with the spirit of craftsmanship in the manufacturing industry.

    At an international vocational and technical education conference in Tianjin last month, Li noted that there is no difference between vocational education and ordinary education, and "vocational education is not "secondary" nor should it ever be treated as less than ordinary education". "Vocational education has the mission of fostering a quality workforce and technical experts for the country. The hardworking spirit is the key to building any ordinary people into leading personnel," he said.

    Li joined the institute in 1993 and later founded a machinery engineering practice center, providing free training to 7,500 people a week. In 2015, he led a team of teachers to work for 40 days to renovate 124 machine tools in the center. Li has devoted himself to building the country's first additive manufacturing technique and application center at the institute to satisfy the thirst for the country's human resources in 3D printing.

    At first glance she looked like any other old woman, plodding along in the snow , alone, neglected, head bowed. A young couple, smiling, taking, laughing, arms loaded with Christmas presents, took no notice of the old woman. A mother with two small children hurried by, on their way to grandmother's house. Like many others, they took no notice, either. If these people had noticed, they would have seen that the old woman wore no shoes. She walked bare foot in the ice and snow.

    With both hands the old woman gathered her worn button-less overcoat at the collar to keep out the wind. She stopped and stood bent and bowed at the bus stop. A red and blue scarf covering her head, she waited for the downtown bus.

    A gentleman carrying an Important looking briefcase waited near her, not too closely. After all, she could have something contagious (传染的). A teenage girl also waited for the bus, She glanced repeatedly at the old woman's feet, but said nothing.

    The bus arrived and the old woman slowly, painfully boarded. She sat on the sideways sent Just behind the driver. The gentleman and the teenage girl hurried to the back of the bus. A little boy pointed at the old woman," Look, Mother, that old lady is bare foot. "The embarrassed mother slapped his hand down. "Don't point at people, Andrew. I's not polite to point." She looked out of the window.

    "She must have sons or daughters," a lady in a fur coat suggested, "her children should be ashamed of themselves." She felt morally superior, because she took good care of her mother.

    A man seated near the middle of the bus steadied the bag of gifts on her lap. "Don't we pay enough taxes to handle situations like this?" he said to a friend seated beside him.

    "People have to learn to save their money," a well-dressed young college man added. "If that old woman had saved when she was young, she wouldn't be suffering now. It's her own fault."

    And all these vain(虚荣)people beamed with satisfaction that they had all given such deep analysis,totally ignoring the old woman who badly needed a pair of shoes immediately.

    When Costco opened its first store in China in 2019 it wasn't just the hot barbecue chickens and discounted Birkin bags attracted overexcited crowds. A fiery, throat-tingling liquor called Kweichow Moutai also flew off shelves.

    1,498 yuan, or $209 for a half-liter bottle, it might not sound like the kind of bargain Costco shoppers usually go for—but in this case, it absolutely was. That price(represent) a sharp discount over Moutai sold elsewhere—that is, if you could get your hands on it. The luxury spirit is so beloved in China, it sold out quickly.

    Even amid a global pandemic, Kweichow Moutai, the company that makes the liquor, had  outstanding year: its stock surged around 70% on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 

    2020. The company is China's most valuable firm outside of technology-worth more than the country's four biggest banks. (globe). its market cap has not only beaten all other alcohol distillers, but also Coca-Cola, which had long held the crown as the world's largest beverage maker by market cap. (value) at 

    2.7 trillion yuan, or S421 billion, Kweichow Moutai is worth more than Toyota, Nike and Disney, too.

    Apart from popularity in China, ,Moutai is still virtually unknown overseas. Almost all-about 97%-of its sales come from China alone, according to its (finance)reports.

    So how is a company sells its products primarily in just one country now worth more than some longstanding behemoths? And can Kweichow Moutai, which (describe) in the west as "drinking liquid razor blades," succeed in appealing to non-Chinese consumers?

    You may have grown up living with lots of siblings, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else.Follow these tips to make sure you and your roommate keep things pleasant and supportive throughout the year (or even years!).

    Address problems when they're little

    Is your roommate always forgetting her stuff for the shower, and taking yours? Are your clothes being borrowed faster than you can wash them? Addressing things that bug you while they're still little can help your roommate be aware of something she may not otherwise know. And addressing little things is much easier than addressing them after they've become big.

    Respect your roommate's stuff

    This may seem simple, but it's probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict. Don't think he'll mind if you borrow his cleats for a quick soccer game? For all you know, you just stepped over a line that is not crossable. 

    Be mindful of who you bring into your room-and how often

    You may love having your study group into your room. Be mindful of how often you bring people over. If your roommate studies best in the quiet, and you study best in a group, can you alternate who hits the library and who gets the room?

    Be friendly, without expecting to be best friends

    Don't go into your roommate relationship thinking that you are going to be best friends for the time you're at school. . You should be friendly with your roommate but also make sure you have your own social circles.

    Treat your roommate like you'd like to be treated. Deal with problems properly. No matter what your relationship is at the end of the year, you can take comfort knowing you acted like an adult and treated your roommate with respect.

    A. If nothing else, follow the golden rule

    B. Don't borrow, use, or take anything without getting permission first

    C. But your roommate may not

    D. While having a roommate inevitably has its challenges, it can also be a great part of your life experience

    E. However, your roommate may also think so

    F. Address problems when they're big, too

    G. It may happen, but expecting it sets both of you up for trouble

    I often find peacefulness in a soaring stone church, a cool open place to sit and contemplate. The giant trunk-like pillars (柱子) and the gentle play of the light cast through a church's stained glass windows create a shaded garden of stone and multicolored light.

    Glass itself is one of the fruits of the art of fire. It is a fusion (熔接) of the Earth's rocks melted at high temperatures. Glass's liquid-like structure is one of the main reasons it is transparent (透明). However, "transparent" does not necessarily mean that all light can pass through it. Some obsidian (黑曜石) glasses are so darkly colored that they are effectively black and opaque (不透光的). This is because electrons of some elements in the obsidian are arranged in such a way that their energy is the same as the energy of visible light.

    This ability of certain elements to absorb light and give color is used to great effect in stained glass windows. For example, adding cobalt oxide (氧化钴) to the glass during melting will make it blue because cobalt absorbs wavelengths at the red end of the spectrum (光谱)but does not absorb blue.These colors were discovered by the ancients through trial and error, adding different minerals to the melting pot and melting for different periods of time, even though they had no idea what caused them.

    The term "stained glass" telescopes (精简) three different processes: coloring, staining and painting, each one complex and requiring the application of many skills. In the mid-16th century, however, different colored enamels (珐琅) began to be used. It has been said that the appearance of enameling was the death of the great stained glass window artists. I am not sure if this is true, but I do know that standing in front of a great stained glass window is a magical experience. Next time you are in a soaring cathedral, take a moment to admire the windows.

    (1)、Why does the author write this passage?
    A、To show the actual way to make stained glass. B、To express his appreciation of stained glass. C、To talk about the function of stained glass. D、To review the history of stained glass.

    (4)、 What can we know from the last paragraph?
    A、Stained glass was invented in the mid-16th century. B、Making enamels was more complex than making stained glass. C、The number of stained glass artists may have declined since the 1550s. D、The author admiringly welcomes the change caused by colored enamels.

    Facial expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion and read the feelings of others. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes more difficult to recognize these cues.

    If you cannot read someone else' s emotional state, your ability to empathize with them may be compromised. Likewise, if your own mask is hiding your emotional state, others may not be able to empathize with you. Wearing a mask can also make you feel more distracted and self-conscious, further weakening your connection to others.

    Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left-the eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes, which may be easier said than done. Eye contact generates self- consciousness, consumes extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds. But bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.

    You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself. For instance, when someone is happy, they stand up straighter, when they are sad, they drop their head; and when they are angry, their whole body tenses up. Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask.

    Become aware of your own body language, too. When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking , straighten your posture, or nod more frequently. Finally, he «ware that imitating the posture of another person can increase how much they like you and even agree with you.

    By all means, continue the proper measures to keep yourself safe, but don't neglect your relationships as a consequence. Social distance doesn't have to mean socially distant.

    (1)、What will happen if you wear a mask?
    A、Your fear won't be known by others. B、Others will have difficulty understanding you. C、You will lose the ability to empathize with others. D、Others won't focus on your face.
    (2)、Why is eye contact difficult?
    A、It may lead to misunderstanding. B、It requires more brain power. C、It may cause people to believe you less. D、It will result in social distance.
    (3)、What does paragraph 4 and 5 mainly talk about?
    A、Body language is a double-edged sword. B、Body language can convey shocking information. C、We should make good use of body language. D、Be careful with your body language when talking.
    (4)、What is the best title of this passage?
    A、How do people use their bodies to convey emotion? B、Facial expressions, the primary way of human connection. C、Facial expressions, eye contact, body language, which is the best? D、How do we keep socially distant to keep ourselves safe?

    On the way to his home the child turned many times and beat the dog,declaring with childish gestures that he held him in contempt(茂视)as an unimportant dog.the dog apologized for being this quality of animal and expressed regret in fine form,but he continued stealthily to follow the child.

    When the child reached his door-step,the dog was a few yards behind,moving slowly toward him.He became so anxious with shame when ho again faced the child that he forgot the dragging rope . He tripped(绊倒) upon it and fell forward.

    He dragged his captive(俘虏) into a hall and up many long stairways in a dark building. The dog made willing efforts, but he could not walk very skillfully up the stairs because he was very small and soft,and at last the pace of the child grew so energetic that the dog became panic-stricken. In his mind he was being dragged toward somewhere unknown. His ayes grew wild with the terror of it. He began to wiggle his head wildly and to brace his legs.

    The child redoubled his efforts.They had a battle on the stairs.The child was victorious because he was completely absorbed in his purpose,and because the dog was very small.He dragged his acquirement to the door of his home,and finally with victory across the doorway.

    No family member was in.The child sat down on the floor and made overtures to(向....示好) the dog.These the dog instantly accepted.He smiled with affection upon his new friend.In a short time they were firm and abiding(矢志不渝的)comrades.

    The 78th United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution (决议) on Friday, officially  (announce) the Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, as a UN floating holiday. Experts said the move shows the  (significance) influence of Chinese culture and will contribute  the promotion of the Global Civilization Initiative.

    The Lunar New Year not only bears the ideas of peace and harmony  (value) by Chinese civilization but also carries the common values of humanity such as family harmony and harmonious coexistence between humans  nature.

    The reason why the Lunar New Year can pass national borders and is increasingly welcomed by many countries (lie) mainly in the rich cultural heritage of China and the driving force of globalization. As the world's second-largest economy, China's cultural elements have spread alongside its economic influence. In the trend of globalization, people's interest in diverse cultures is (gradual) increasing, and the Lunar New Year has become a major means for people (communicate) and connect.

    Therefore, the official (recognize) of the Chinese New Year as a UN holiday fully reflects an emphasis on the inheritance and innovation of civilization, will promote exchanges and mutual learning among diverse world cultures and actively embody the UN's values of diverse and inclusive cultural ideals.

    Packing up my luggage, I felt a wave of fear. Maybe tomorrow's flight would be 1 and I didn't have to go after all — I 2 hoped. It was May 2022, and I'd 3 my job in London to begin a year-long journey around the world.

    I loved to travel and had been 4 to visit many countries with friends and family. This time, I'd be travelling alone, which was pretty 5 for a woman with a disability, though I have learnt to 6 life in a wheelchair since I was 7.

    Accessibility isn't much of a(n) 7 in some countries, but my first 8 on my solo trip was Bali. Although I'd ensured my hotel wouldn't be a problem, I couldn't 9 any risks.

    "If it doesn't 10 , you can always come home." my parents 11 me. But I wasn't going to give up without a 12 .

    In Bali, the hotel where I stayed was 13 by a kind woman who made sure I had 14 to the shower and anything else I needed. With her help, I made it to a mountain 15 and saw most of the island's sights. As 16 , the view from the top was thrilling.

    After that, I made the trip up as I went, staying in a country until I got 17  and moved on to the next. Wherever I went, such as Africa and Asia, I was greatly impressed by the 18  of strangers helping me.

    19 , I'd visited a total of 66 countries on my own by February 2023. Now, I'm fully 20 that a disability doesn't have to stop a person from getting out there and seeing the world.

    While socializing comes naturally for some, it can be a struggle for others. Shyness is a normal, common personality trait (特征). . If you're often hesitant to engage in social situations, you may interact with those around you in a more comfortable way. We outline four strategies for overcoming shyness in life.

    Get Excited About A New Adventure

    You may have been shy most of your life. . Working through shyness and developing increased confidence may seem like a discouraging task for you, but viewing the journey as an exciting adventure to parts unknown can be exciting and, in turn, may boost your self-esteem.

    Pay Attention To Your Words

    . Talking to yourself in a negative way when describing yourself can damage your self-confidence. Consider replacing phrases like "I am shy" with "I am learning to be more comfortable" in social situations. This can go a long way toward moving from shyness to confidence.

    Practice Mindfulness (正念)

    Mindfulness involves drawing your attention to the present and being aware of your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings. . In one study, participants in a mindfulness program experienced an improved view of their self-worth.

    Take Small Steps

    Getting started can be the hardest part of learning how to be more social for those who are shy. . You can start out small. Try chatting with the teller at the bank or the person ahead of you in the checkout line. This can help you build confidence and work your way up to more difficult challenges.

    A. If so, that's a part of you that you're used to

    B. Sometimes the best path toward addressing a fear is exposure

    C. Mindfulness can help reduce symptoms of social anxiety disorder

    D. Taking time to tend to your appearance can make a big difference

    E. How we communicate and characterize ourselves can be powerful

    F. However, shyness can make it hard for people to connect with others and achieve their goals

    G. But engaging with people doesn't have to be practiced as an important work presentation

    Electrically powered vertical-take-off-and-landing (eVTOL) aircraft—flying cars are an idea whose time has not quite yet come, but is fast approaching. Many firms are offering various designs. None of these, however, will be Jetson-like family flying cars. Pivotal, based in Silicon Valley, by contrast has crafted something that people can purchase and pilot themselves. Helix is a single-seat vehicle, so "flying motorbike" might be more accurate. From next year, many people will be able to order one for personal use, though they will not be able to take delivery until June.

    Marcus Leng founded Pivotal in 2011, and some back-of-the-envelope calculations he made suggested that electric lift-off of a human-carrying craft, using motors powered by the lithium-ion batteries ought to work. He thus built a model and flew it in the garden of his house in Warkworth, Ontario.

    Now, after ameliorating it, the firm thinks it has something marketable. The aircraft has, nevertheless, changed little in its fundamentals over the years. It has two pairs of wings and eight propellers(螺旋桨), making it slightly resemble a squashed "H" when seen in the sky from below. And there is no undercarriage. Instead, its belly is curved in a way similar to a humpback whale's, so it rocks to stability after landing.

    Pilot's licence or not, buyers will still need some training to fly a Helix. Pivotal insists on this. For the same reason, the craft's software will stop the pilot doing anything that does not fit its safety rules. And if, despite this, something does go wrong, it is fitted with a parachute(降落伞).

    The Helix's top speed is a respectable 100 kph, but its range is only 30 km. And refueling it is a bit of a pain. Filling up from the mains takes four and a half hours, though a special high-power system similar to those employed for electric cars can bring that down to 75 minutes. While Helix still doesn't compare to the flying car from the Jetsons, it could be a step forward.

    (1)、 What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
    A、Helix has been used in Warkworth widely. B、Flying cars won't be allowed for personal use. C、Leng was the first person to design flying cars. D、Helix is only suitable for one person to drive.
    (2)、What does the underlined word "ameliorating" in paragraph 3'mean?
    A、Testing. B、Driving. C、Improving. D、Repairing.
    (3)、 What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
    A、Helix's relative devices. B、Helix's training process. C、Helix's safety measures. D、Helix's working principle.
    (4)、What is the author's attitude towards Helix?
    A、Doubtful. B、Objective. C、Indifferent. D、Cautious.

    Remember Malcolm Gladwell's famous "10,000-hour rule" from his bestselling book Outliers? It proposes that achieving mastery in any field requires roughly 10,000 hours of practice, emphasizing the importance of early professionalization and intensive practice for becoming an elite in a particular field.

    This approach, known as "deliberate practice", encourages setting goals from a young age, investing time and specializing in a specific field. On paper, it sounds like a good path to success, but when we look at the lives of elite athletes, musicians and scholars, we find a different story. In reality, many individuals who have risen to the top of their respective fields took a more diverse and winding route. They often explored a wide range of activities, gained a broad skill set, and only specialized at a later stage in life. In other words, the idea that one must know one's specialization from a young age is fundamentally wrong.

    Studies have shown that an approach called the "sampling period" is often more effective for achieving success. During this phase, individuals try various activities, gain diverse skills, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and only choose a field to specialize in once they have a clearer understanding of their passions and abilities.

    Elite athletes, for example, rarely specialize in a single sport at a very young age. Instead, they engage in a variety of sports during their formative years, which allows them to acquire broad physical skills and discover their interests and talents. These early diversification experiences provide valuable lessons that can be applied to their chosen sports.

    Consider the journey of Roger Federer, one of the greatest tennis players of all time. At the age of 6, he dabbled in rugby, skiing and wrestling, only returning to tennis later. The trial period benefited him not just because he found his true passion but also because his experiences in various sports enriched his tennis game with a unique set of skills.

    (1)、What does the author think of "10,000-hour rule"?
    A、It's effective. B、It's costly. C、It's unpractical. D、It's unproven.
    (2)、"Deliberate practice" stresses the importance of the following aspects except ____.
    A、early goal-setting B、diverse skills C、focused practice D、field specialization
    (3)、 Why is Roger Federer mentioned in the last paragraph?
    A、To show the difficulty to be an elite athlete. B、To prove the advantage of the "sampling period". C、To give an example of applying "deliberate practice". D、To tell us one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
    (4)、 Which statement would the author probably agree with?
    A、Kids should try many kinds of activities. B、Passion can be found at a young age. C、Many failures can lead to successes. D、Learn to be an athlete since young.

    On July 28, I retired from my position. After teaching for many years, I looked forward to kayaking (划独木舟) with my grandsons, seeing friends and traveling for leisure with my husband. But my body had other plans for me. A broken spine (脊椎) in my back took me down a path that upended my plans.

    I have long had back pain. However, I pushed through the pain to do my work, which worsened my condition. Doctors urged an operation when increased disability meant I could not sit, stand or walk for a long time. But I wanted to see whether physical therapy (治疗) could create an easier option.

    Indeed, hard work with a great physical therapist has let me improve my mobility, sitting and standing. But X-rays told a different story. My spine was unstable and bending. After careful consideration and a second opinion from another professional, I agreed to surgery yet in the near term. Needless to say, the past months have been tough and the way ahead will be even tougher. Kayaking with my grandsons in the peacefulness of the lake is all out of reach, for now.

    When I met my physical therapist for the first time, I was a mess. He listened to me outline my history with tears and then calmly said, "You have to make friends with your body." I have repeated that line to myself daily and worked to embrace my body. I have focused on gratitude. I'm grateful that I do not have a fatal disease. I'm grateful that the body I have remains alert to the world, loved by family and friends. I'm grateful that I am still myself.

    I don't know exactly how the future will play out. The surgeon assures me that I should be able to get in my kayak by summer. But I may have to make friends with a different body, one that is mine regardless of the shape.

    (1)、Why did the author's condition become worse?
    A、She disliked physical therapy. B、She hurt her back when kayaking. C、She still worked despite back pain. D、She was unwilling to have an operation.
    (2)、 What can we learn about the author from paragraph 3?
    A、She forgot to kayak with her grandsons. B、She decided to accept an operation right away. C、She completely recovered after physical therapy. D、She asked another doctor for advice on the operation.
    (3)、What changed the author's attitude towards her body?
    A、Her wish to enjoy retirement life. B、Her physical therapist's advice. C、Her worsening physical condition. D、Her love for her family and friends.
    (4)、 Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text?
    A、Learning to accept my body B、Enjoying my retirement life C、Fighting against my back pain D、Being grateful for what I have
