Pyshnyi began learning Chinese about five years ago. “My interest in the Chinese language began with the desire(渴 望) to learn more about a world of characters so different from my own,” Pyshnyi said in Chinese. Learning about the meanings of the strokes (笔画) of the Chinese characters is like solving puzzles for Pyshnyi. “Take the character ‘fu (福)’ for example. Each stroke holds a hidden story,” Pyshnyi said. The horizontal(横 的) stroke of this character means peace in Chinese culture, while the dot(点) is about fulfilment (满足). “As I studied the character ‘fu’, I began to learn the symbolism(象征意义) in it and ▲ ,” said Pyshnyi. Learning Chinese isn􀆳t just about learning words for Pyshnyi, but about a deep look into Chinese traditions and life. For example, with Chinese ancient poems, he takes a look at the romanticism (浪 漫 主 义), creativity, and imagination of the Chinese people. Pyshnyi said his favourite Chinese poem was “Fairy of the Magpie Bridge”. “It tels the story of the Cowherd(牛郎) and the Weaver Girl(织女) and I see the Chinese people􀆳s ability to put imaginative and touching stories into their poems.” Learning Chinese becomes a key for Pyshnyi to understanding China. It has also alowed him to connect with students from al around the world with different backgrounds and has let him see that language is a bridge that can cross boundaries and build under- standing. 1.

One study found that nearly three milion whales of al species(物 种) were kiled during the 20th century alone. But few species were as endangered as the Pacific gray whale. Finaly, humans took action to protect these huge animals. In 1973, the US passed the law, Endangered Species Act, giving strong protection to species facing death. The Pacific gray whale was one of the species listed as “endangered”—in danger of dying out. Thanks to the protection, the gray whale slowly began to come back. Specific actions, like keeping ships from moving too fast, are helpful to whales. Slowing the speed of ships in areas where there are endangered species like whales cuts down the risk of kiling whales. It􀆳s kind of like a slow area near schools to protect children coming or . Many years later, the Pacific gray whale made history. In 1994, the species was officialy removed from the endangered species list. The summer is short in the Arctic waters. October brings cold temperatures. It􀆳s time for the whales to return south, back to the warm waters of San Ignacio Lagoon and complete the long trip. The whales wil once again fight against orcas(逆戟鲸) and other dangers. A After two months of swimming, the gray whales reach their wintering grounds in December. B Some mother whales wil give birth to a group of babies and the cycle of life wil begin again. C They use cameras, feeling greatly excited because they are watching the wonderful trip of the Pacific gray whale. D (素材来源: Muse) 根据短文内容,完成下列各题。每题答案不 超过5个词。 1.
