Before the pandemic, it was common to greet others with a hug or a shake of the hand. That’s now being      1     by some people with an elbow or fist bump (碰手肘或者拳头). In the past, men bowed-bending forward at the body and lowering the head as if to say, “I’m not all that important”. Bowing is elegant (优雅的) and unlike elbow bumps, can totally avoid     2    . So, what do you think? Should bowing make a comeback?

Yes, it’s a humble, graceful greeting.

Bowing provides a practical and graceful solution to the problem of how to greet one another in the midst of a pandemic. Bumping elbows might not spread coronavirus but it doesn’t have the elegance of a bow. It can be awkward not knowing how to greet someone, so a bow can sort this out. It means that people know     3     what to do without colliding(碰撞) somewhere between a hug and a handshake. A bow is a gesture of humility(谦逊), which is a sign of strength.

The Victorian writer, Charles Spurgeon, wrote that the humility of a bow leads to feeling invincible(无敌的).     4    , in these serious times, it could be fun pretending to be in a novel by a Victorian writer.

No, it’s     5     to greet people in this way.

Physical touch reduces anxiety, stress and even pain. The pandemic has highlighted(突出) how much people want to hug their friends and family. Can you imagine bowing to a grandmother? In the past, bowing was common in the UK when people at the     6    —such as royalty(皇室) and the rich—were considered more important than those lower down—such as children and the working classes. Society should not go back to a way of doing things that highlights inequality between groups. There are better ways to greet, such as the Southeast Asian way of saying “Namaste(合十礼)”, with palms together, pointing upwards in gratitude.

I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, credit cards, success...I wanted it and worked     7     it like everyone else, all of us are separately(独自) looking for the same thing. However, one year it all fell apart through a series of unhappy events. I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I     8     some places which I could rent for the cheapest possible amount. I came upon a poor house four miles up a winding mountain road over the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was abandoned(被遗弃的), full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and cleared a country to camp in. The locals knew nothing about me, but     9    , they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began     10     around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a different American Dream—not the one person but the neighbor’s friendship. What I have believed in, all those things I thought were not     11     in this place. Up on the mountain, my most valuable things were my relationship with my neighbors. Four years later, I moved back into town. I saw many people having a really hard time, losing their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to take in a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We would all be in     12     if we didn’t stay together. Now the American Dream I believe in is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself: it’s about how we can all get by together.

Is living on the planet Mars possible for humans? The answer is yes. Some scientists believe people will live on the planet Mars by 2200. Our own planet, Earth, will become more and more crowded and     13    . We won’t have enough space to live and there won’t be any fresh air or water. Good news is that we can start again

and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like.

First of all,     14     should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars — it takes months. However, by 2200, spaceships can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!

Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live on. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need.     15    , will there be enough fresh water for all of us? There is no answer now.

There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves     16    .

Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways. People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. People will have more     17    . With the development of science and technology, robots will do most of our work, so we can take up our hobbies.

In some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on Earth today. Food will not be the same — meals will probably be in the form (形式) of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel     18    . The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.

13．A．modern B．changeable C．surprising D．polluted

14．A．weather B．environment C．transport D．resources

15．A．Besides B．However C．Therefore D．Instead

16．A．quicker B．taller C．heavier D．cooler

17．A．money B．work C．exercise D．time

18．A．bored B．excited C．sick D．impatient
