According to Matthew Greenhawt from the University of Colorado, our immune system deals with infections and allergies. It tries to keep a balance between the two.

The moment we mention bingtanghulu, we cannot help smiling as our memory of the childhood comes out at once. Without doubt, this kind of snack carries many people’s sweet memories. Bingtanghulu is also a symbol of Chinese culture. It represents sweetness and reunion and often appears in important festivals and celebrations. Making bingtanghulu requires certain skills and patience. It’s usually made by stringing fruits such as hawthorns or strawberries and nuts on bamboo skewers, dipping them in syrup (糖浆) and then making the syrup hard in the cold air. Because of different materials and production methods, the taste of the bingtanghulu is also different. The rich and different taste leaves a lasting aftertaste. As a traditional Chinese snack, the earliest record of bingtanghulu appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is recorded that Emperor Guangzong’s wife fell ill. She had a yellow face and didn’t feel like eating anything. The emperor saw his beloved wife weaker and weaker gradually, and in the end, he had no choice but to make a public announcement and looked for a better doctor. A quack doctor was called in to the palace. After diagnosing the pulse (诊脉), he said, “As long as you boil rock sugar (冰糖) and hawthorns, and eat five to ten before each meal, your wife will surely recover in half a month.” At first, everyone was still doubtful, but after taking the medicine, the queen recovered slowly. The emperor was overjoyed. Later, this practice spread to the general public, and people connected them to sell, which was how bingtanghulu became popular. 51. 回答问题。 Why is bingtanghulu a symbol of Chinese culture? _________________________________ 52. 完成表格。 List three steps to make bingtanghulu. ①First, ________ ②Next, ________ ③Then, ________ ④Finally, enjoy delicious bingtanghulu! 53.

Ages ago, during the early periods of society, bartering was the main way. People directly exchanged one thing for another. For example, one person might trade a chicken for a duck to get what he needed. But this way had many problems. There was no fixed standard to measure (衡量) the value of things. This made trading difficult. Around 2, 700 years ago, in ancient Turkey, somebody came up with the idea of using metal coins as money. These coins were made of metals like gold or silver. They had the same size, weight, and material, which gave them the same value. This made trading much easier. The smart Romans copied this new way and even put pictures of their emperors on the coins. This not only helped with trading but also showed the power and popularity of the emperors. In ancient China, the metal coins were made with holes in the middle so that they could be strung together with a string or rope, which was called “a string of cash.” These coins were not just for buying and selling. They were also decorated with pictures of magical animals like dragons. People believed that these decorated coins could bring good luck and wealth. This was deeply connected to the Chinese culture and people’s beliefs at that time. As time went by, the invention of paper in China led to the birth of paper money. It was much lighter and easier to carry than metal coins. The traders could do business more conveniently. This idea of using paper money gradually spread to other countries and had a great influence on the world trading system. Nowadays, with the rapid development of technology, we have entered the period of mobile payments. Almost everyone has a smartphone, and there are many advanced digital payment apps like WeChat or Alipay. People can pay for things just by tapping or swiping their phones. This has completely changed the way we do business. It’s not only more convenient but also makes business faster. It has even created a new economic environment that depends on speed, convenience, and connection. The development of money shows how creative humans are. Each period reflects the values, beliefs, and technological level of the time. Looking ahead, we can expect more changes. Money will surely continue to develop along with the progress of human society. 56. What’s the Chinese meaning of the word “bartering”? ________________________________ 57. What can we infer (推断) according to the last paragraph? _________________________________ 58. 根据文本内容完成下列句子 （每空不超过两个词）。 The passage is about the ________ of money.

Others may find it hard to breathe after eating a certain food. Why does this happen? That’s because they have allergies (过敏反应). When a person is allergic to something, his or her immune (免疫) system mistakenly believes that this thing is harming the body. Some allergies may cause uncomfortable eyes or sneezing. Others may even make people stop breathing. But why do people have allergies? It can be because of their genes (基因) which control what they look like, how they grow and how they develop. You may be at the risk of developing allergies yourself in some situations in your life if one of your parents has eczema (湿疹) or food allergies, and they may develop in a certain order studies show. A person may first have eczema in his or her childhood, and later it develops into a food allergy. But not all allergies are caused by genes. Some experts say that if we experience fewer infections (感染) when we are young, we are more likely to have allergies when we grow up. According to Matthew Greenhawt from the University of Colorado, our immune system deals with infections and allergies. It tries to keep a balance between the two. But modern medicine protects us from developing many infections. This breaks the balance. Our immune system becomes more easily affected by allergies. It may think that normal things, such as certain foods, are dangerous and will try to protect us with an immune response (反应). 26. People who have allergies may ________ according to the text. A. have uncomfortable eyes B. find it hard to fall asleep C. be likely to have cancer D. be easy to have a cold 27. What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A. Allergies. B. Parents. C. Situations. D. Studies. 28. Which can make us more likely to have allergies when we grow up? A. Not taking exercise. B Experiencing fewer infections. C. Not having allergies before. D. Eating unhealthy food. 29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. People are not allergic to animals. B. Parents can’t pass allergies on to their children. C. People may stop breathing when they have allergies. D. Modern medicine is completely bad for our immune system. 30. What does the text mainly talk about? A. How people treat allergies. B. What people have done with allergies. C. When people may have allergies easily. D. Why people have allergies?

The moment we mention bingtanghulu, we cannot help smiling as our memory of the childhood comes out at once. Without doubt, this kind of snack carries many people’s sweet memories. Bingtanghulu is also a symbol of Chinese culture. It represents sweetness and reunion and often appears in important festivals and celebrations. Making bingtanghulu requires certain skills and patience. It’s usually made by stringing fruits such as hawthorns or strawberries and nuts on bamboo skewers, dipping them in syrup (糖浆) and then making the syrup hard in the cold air. Because of different materials and production methods, the taste of the bingtanghulu is also different. The rich and different taste leaves a lasting aftertaste. As a traditional Chinese snack, the earliest record of bingtanghulu appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is recorded that Emperor Guangzong’s wife fell ill. She had a yellow face and didn’t feel like eating anything. The emperor saw his beloved wife weaker and weaker gradually, and in the end, he had no choice but to make a public announcement and looked for a better doctor. A quack doctor was called in to the palace. After diagnosing the pulse (诊脉), he said, “As long as you boil rock sugar (冰糖) and hawthorns, and eat five to ten before each meal, your wife will surely recover in half a month.” At first, everyone was still doubtful, but after taking the medicine, the queen recovered slowly. The emperor was overjoyed. Later, this practice spread to the general public, and people connected them to sell, which was how bingtanghulu became popular. 51. 回答问题。 Why is bingtanghulu a symbol of Chinese culture? _________________________________ 52. 完成表格。 List three steps to make bingtanghulu. ①First, ________ ②Next, ________ ③Then, ________ ④Finally, enjoy delicious bingtanghulu! 53.
