At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly:“Now Iwill teach you how to write your name and to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious.

Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with Chinese name. My

parents are ethnically Chinese , so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name,aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassingChen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley(薏米)” and“warm”.

When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States,I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage?I thought.

In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-tne-nose assessments of my personality. “You need to be braver, he once observed. Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画). ” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me.

I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully.

During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me:“This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”

24. What did the author initially think of her name“Chen Yiwen”?
25. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it.
26. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning.
27. She understood its meaning but still disliked it.
28. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed.

25. Why did the author decide to learn calligraphy?
26. To pick up a new hobby. B. To reconnect with her origin.
27. To gain insights into a new culture. D. To fit in with the local community.
28. What did the author learn about calligraphy from the teacher’s words?
29. It reflects the creator’s spirits. B. It comes from creative energy.
30. It highlights the design of strokes. D. It depends on continuous practice.
31. What does the author intend to tell us?
32. Appreciate what our culture offers. B. Find beauty from your inner self.
33. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. We are what we create.

C

When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl(水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.

In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act(Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory(迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry aFederal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J. N. “Ding”Darling,a political cartoonist from Des Moines, Iowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey.Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.

About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory BirdConservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into theNational Wildlife Refuge System——a fact that ensures this land will be protected and

available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder theFederal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.

28. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America?
29. Loss of wetlands. B. Popularity of water sports.
30. Pollution of rivers. D. Arrival of other wild animals.
31. What does the underlined word” decimate” in the first paragraph mean?
32. Acquire. B. Export. C. Destroy. D. Rescue.
33. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934?
34. The stamp price has gone down. B. The migratory birds have flown away.
35. The hunters have stopped hunting. D. The government has collected money.
36. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
37. The Federal Duck Stamp Story B. The National Wildlife Refuge System
38. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting

D

Europeans should try to stay indoors if ash from Iceland’s volcano starts settling,the World Health Organization (WHO) warned Friday as small amounts fell inIceland, Scotland and Norway.

WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein said the microscopic ash is potentially dangerous for people when it starts to reach the Earth because inhaled particles(微粒) can enter the lungs and cause respiratory(呼吸的) problems. And he also saidEuropeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.

Other experts, however, weren’t convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on people’s health and said WHO’s warnings were“hysterical”. They said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. Volcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock. It is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder. During a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breathed deep into the lungs and cause irritation even in healthy people. But once it falls from a greater distance—— like from the cloud currently hovering above Europe—— its health

effects are often minimal, experts say.

“Not all particles are created equal,” said Ken Donaldson, a professor of respiratory toxicology at the University of Edinburgh, “In the great scheme of things,volcanic ash is not all that harmful.” And he said most Europeans’ exposure to volcanic ash would be negligible and that only those in the near districts of theIcelandic volcano would likely be at risk.

Dr. Stephen Spiro, a professor of respiratory medicine and deputy chair of theBritish Lung Foundation, said the further the particles travel, the less dangerous they will be. “The cloud has already passed over northern Scotland and we haven’t heard of any ill effects there, ” he said. Spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was“over the top” and“a bit hysterical”.

32. What can you learn in paragraph 3?
33. The volcanic ash had no impact on Europeans.
34. Other experts highly approved of WHO’s warnings.
35. The volcanic ash posed more risks than cigarette smoke.
36. Even healthy people could experience discomfort due to the ash.
37. According to Ken Donaldson, who are most likely to be at risk due to the volcanic ash?
38. Europeans living in big cities.
39. People who often smoke cigarettes.
40. Those staying outdoors for a long time.
41. People in the near districts of the Icelandic volcano.
42. What does the underlined word” hysterical” in paragraph 5 most probably mean?
43. Amazing. B. Practical. C. Valuable. D. Overstated.
44. What is the text mainly about?
45. Panic caused by volcanic ash. B. WHO’s warnings on volcanic ash.
46. Views on volcanic ash’s health risks. D. Volcanic ash’s environmental effects.

Why Do We Get Angry

Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering(触发) events, personality traits(特征), and our assessment of situations.      36       

Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain and much more.       37          The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.

Each person, no matter who they arc, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry.      38        Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.

     39         Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative outlooks on situations can create anger.

     40          However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.

1. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.
2. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
3. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.
4. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.

1. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.
2. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.
3. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.

Known as a unique type of porcelain(瓷器), Linglong porcelain is one of the four distinguished traditional porcelains from Jingdezhen, often     56    (refer) to as the“City of Porcelain” in East China’s Jiangxi Province.

Unlike ordinary porcelain, Linglong porcelain is particularly crafted by first carving tiny holes into the porcelain body, which are then filled with unique glaze(釉). Through continuous adjustments to the glaze materials,      57       shining quality has been achieved,      58       improves both the artistic and practical charm of the porcelain.

At first, Surrell didn’t see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors’ home. He and his wife were just having a dinner in their own house in Allentown, Pennsylvania, when they heard someone screaming:“The house is on fire!” He went to investigate. That was when he saw two women and a girl crazily at a loss on their porch(门廊). It was his neighbour’s house.

“The baby’s inside there!” one of the women cried. Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, instinctively ran inside.

“The baby” was 8-year-old Tara Roberts, who always called him Uncle Surrell.She was the woman’s granddaughter and a playmate of Surrell’s three youngest kids,8,10, and 12. The other two on the porch were Tara’s aunt and cousin.

Entering the burning house was like running into“a bucket of black paint”. The thick smoke caused Surrell to walk blindly around burned his eyes, and made it impossible for him to breathe. He felt his throat and lungs burned,     and every blink stung his eyes. The conditions would have been very dangerous for anyone, but forSurrell, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(阻塞性肺病) and was in hospital just half a year ago, they were life-risking.

After a few minutes in the smoke-filled house searching but in vain, he ran outside to catch his breath. “Where is Tara?” he asked desperately.

“The second floor,” her aunt shouted back.

Surrell knew he couldn’t hold his breath for long. So he uttered a little prayer:“Well, God, this is it. You got to help me, because I’m not coming out without that little girl.”
