Hassan’s face brightened. “Good,” he said. He lifted our kite, red with yellow. He licked his finger and held it up, tested the wind, then ran in its direction. The spool (线轴) rolled in my hands until Hassan stopped, about fifty feet away. He held the kite high over his head, like an Olympic athlete showing his gold medal. I jerked the string twice, our usual signal, and Hassan threw the kite highly into sky.

I took a deep breath, and pulled on the string. Within a minute, my kite was rocketing to the sky. It made a sound like a bird flapping its wings. Hassan clapped his hands, and ran back to me. I handed him the spool, holding on to the string, and he spun it quickly to roll the loose string back on.

At least two dozen kites already hung in the sky, like paper sharks swimming in the sea. Within an hour, the number doubled. A cold breeze went through my hair. The wind was perfect for kite flying, blowing just hard enough to give some lift, make the sweeps easier. Next to me, Hassan held the spool, his hands already bloodied by the string.

Soon, the cutting started and the first of the defeated kites whirled (回旋) out of control. They fell from the sky like shooting stars, showering the neighborhoods below with prizes for the kite runners. I could hear the runners now, shouting as they ran the streets. Someone shouted reports of a fight breaking out two streets down.

I kept stealing glances at Baba sitting with his friend, wondering what he was thinking. Was he cheering for me? Or did a part of him enjoy watching me fail? That was the thing about kite flying: Your mind flew with the kite.

They were coming down all over the place now. The kites and I was still flying. My eyes kept wandering over to Baba. Was he surprised I had lasted as long as I had? You don’t keep your eyes to the sky, you won’t last much longer. I snapped my gaze back to the sky. A red kite was closing in on me—I’d caught it just in time. I tangled (纠缠) a bit with it, ended up besting him when he tried to cut me from below.

31. Which of the following shows the right order of flying a kite?
① tested the wind              ② held the kite high over head        ③ ran in the direction of wind
④ held up the kite                ⑤ stopped far away                       ⑥ threw the kite into sky

A．④①③⑤②⑥

B．④①③②⑤⑥

C．④①②③⑤⑥

D．④②①③⑤⑥

32. According to the passage, which of the following is the disadvantage of flying kites?

A．A cold breeze may get hair untidy.	B．Fingers may hurt.
C．A fight may break out.	D．Mind may fly with the kite.

33. Why did “I” keep looking at Baba when I was flying a kite?

A．I wanted to know what he was talking to his friend.

B．I wanted to get his advice and get my kite last to the end.

C．I was not confident and I was looking forward to his attention.

D．I was surprised that he had lasted so long watching my kite flying.

Before we upload a photo of ourselves to social media, like WeChat, we’ll use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and give us longer eyelashes and fuller lips. With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, we’re able to get a quick fix and present the “best” pictures of ourselves to the world.

However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections away, we’re also changing the way we look at our ourselves. (1)

Last month, researchers from the US Boston University published an article Selfies-Living in the Era of Filtered (滤镜) Photographs. The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries. (2)

The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell the lines between reality and fantasy. “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article says. (3)

In the past, people may have compared their looks to those of celebrities who were famous that time. But for today’s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms, and their feelings are connected to how good they look,” a British doctor Escho told The Independent.

(4) “Now you’ve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the HuffPost website.

Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comparisons, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.

So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn’t think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam?” Instead, we should think, “I feel good, I have my health.”

34. What may people do before they present the best of themselves on social media?

A．Smoothing their skin in the morning.	B．Using apps to edit photos.
C．Wearing false eyelashes.	D．Redding their lips before going out.

35. Where should we put the sentence “This is why many young people suffer an appearance
       worries when it comes to how they really look.”?

A．(4)

B．(3)

C．(2)

D．(1)

36. The fifth paragraph implies (暗示) that ___________ .

A．people today focus (关注) more on how good they look than in the past

B．in the past, people thought highly of those who are good at celebrating

C．social platforms help people learn about self-worth

D．self-worth is related purely on followers people have

37. What did the writer write this passage for?

A．To call on people to care more about appearance

B．To call on people not to use apps on mobile phone

C．To call on people to learn something more important than appearance

D．To call on people not to spend too much time on comparison with others

China and Western countries may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, somehow we have the same idea – that pigs are ugly and lazy.

But the truth is that pigs do have some finer qualities. And maybe there’s no better time to clear their names than now, with the arrival of the Year of the Pig on Feb 5 this year.

For starters, science long ago proved that pigs aren’t stupid at all. According to a research, “pigs are mentally (精神) and socially like dogs and chimpanzees.” They like to play. They can remember things for a long time. And they can tell who treat them well and who don’t.

There are lovable pig characters in cartoons too. Peppa Pig, a UK animated television series that begin in 2004, has now become one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries and areas. The four members in the cartoon’s pig family teach children from all over the world to get on well with friends. Their daily stories show that family members are the most valuable persons to cherish (珍惜). And in China, the adventures of McDull, a piglet who works hard towards his dreams even though he keeps failing, have been made into films since 2001. McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of repeated failures. He has a heart of gold.

Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep in mind when we celebrate this Chinese New Year—their intelligence (智力), cuteness, patience and innocence.

Traditional ideas	China and Western cultural beliefs somehow     52     an agreement on pigs.
Truth about pigs	Pigs’ intelligence is     53     to that of dogs’ and chimpanzees’. Pigs have long-term memories. Pigs can tell who treat them well and who don’t.
Pig characters in cartoons	Peppa Pig	Her family teach kids friendship and the     54     of family.
	McDull	He works hard to     55     his dream.
New impressions	Pigs are clever, cute,     56     and innocent.
