One afternoon she called a friend to talk about them. After hearing her words, the friend invited her to her home for tea and said, “All trouble will disappear after tasting tea.” Gina couldn’t believe her, but she still decided to go for relaxation. At the friend’s home, her friend took out a square box and said, “I asked someone to buy the tea from China. It’s said that there are five tastes.” Then, her friend opened the box slowly, took out a spoon of tea carefully, put it into a teapot gingerly, and then poured in boiled water softly. Only one minute later, the friend poured out a cup of tea and asked Gina to taste it. Gina drank it but nearly puked(吐) it out. She shouted, “Is this tea? It tastes like medicine!” The friend just smiled. She repoured boiled water into the teapot. After a minute, the friend poured out another cup and asked Gina to try the second one. Gina took a drink and found it was not as terrible as the first one but still bitter(苦的). This time she didn’t shout. When Gina drank the fifth cup, a sunny smile shone on her face. She said, “It tastes good! I’ve never tasted such a wonderful flavor(味道).” The friend said, “Life is just like this! Only when we taste it patiently can we feel happy.” ( )15.Where did Gina’s friend invite her to drink tea? A. At Gina’s home. B. In a coffee shop. C. At the friend’s home. D. In a teahouse. ( )16.

Nowadays, there are many young people who are just like strawberries. They easily break down when they face difficulties. They don’t know what to do when they are in trouble. They have a common name—strawberry kids. Why are many students so easy to break down? Parents and schools are a main reason. Parents do almost everything for them in their daily life, while schools care more about their grades instead of developing their personality . Liu Yue, 13, is from Fujian. His mum hardly criticizes (批评) him and he always feels good about himself. When a teacher criticized him strictly, he felt surprised and sad. He began to doubt his ability. Students should do something to make themselves mentally (精神上) strong. An expert said, “When you are in trouble, don’t ask for help too quickly. You should try to deal with problems first by yourself. I also advise you to take an active part in sports and social activities. That can make you mentally strong.” Growing up is not just a happy process. Pains also go along with it. The most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them. ( )19.

What will you do if you fail at it? For Lewis Pugh, swimming has been a way to share his passion(酷爱)for the environment with the world. In 2010, he heard about the climate(气候)change and the disappearing snow from the Himalayas. He wanted to tell the world about it, so he made the decision to swim two kilometers across Lake Imja, a very cold lake near Mount Qomolangma to raise public awareness(意识). On his first try, Lewis failed. He was unable to breathe normally at this very high altitude(海拔).The experience was scary. However, Lewis learned something from this experience. He usually swims as fast as possible. But he found that this was bad for swimming at a high altitude. Members of his team said,“You must forget everything that you know about swimming and swim slowly. You must stay relaxed and then you can move easily through it.”Later, Lewis went back to the lake for another try. He kept calm and slowly swam across it successfully. From this failure, he learned an important lesson: If you fail at first,try something different and don’t think you have already known everything. ( )23.

They see more than 50 animals created by hologram technology. The zoo not only provides a new zoo experience, but can also free real animals from their cages. To bring down the cost, Bruce, CEO of Hologram Zoo, built his factory where he worked on hologram technology. A special sleeping pill Sleeping problems are common in our stressful world. Many people use sleeping pills to get enough sleep. But they can be bad for our health. Here’s a “pill” that helps you fall asleep quickly without any side effects. It’s called “The Chill Pill”. It is not a pill but a small tool that you can hold in your hand. It sends out little electric pulses (电子脉冲) that can relax your brain and lower your stress levels. When you hold it, you will feel relaxed and fall asleep quickly. The easiest to repair Last year, around 5.3 billion mobile phones became waste. This created a need for phones that can be fixed easily instead of being thrown away. The newest phone called the G22, is the most advanced phone that can be easily repaired. If the screen breaks or the battery dies, anyone who has a small screwdriver (螺丝刀) and five minutes can put in a new one. This saves users a lot of time waiting for repair and keeps the phone from becoming a waste. Protecting the warming planet with AI’s help Methane Emissions (甲烷排放) are bad for Earth. They are a big reason for climate（气候）change. However, neither human eyes nor most satellites in space can see the emissions, so they are difficult to locate. A team of scientists developed a new AI-powered tool. They gave the AI 167, 825 satellite images (图像). It has now “learned” to find methane emission. With AI, scientists can get to know some of the strongest emission areas more quickly. ( )27.The Chill Pill, a special sleeping pill,________.

Take famous poet Li Bai as an example. His family name was Li, his given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai. People used their given names when they were among family members. But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect. This was mostly done among people of similar age. If you were talking about yourself, or if your elders were talking about you, the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name. Men would get their courtesy name when they turned 20. It was a symbol of adulthood (成人). Women would get their courtesy name after getting married. One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name. For example, Mencius’ name was Meng Ke (孟轲), His courtesy name was Ziyu (子奥). Both Ke and Ziyu mean “carriage (马车)”. Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means “bright”.
