Help us choose some “Living Legends of Sports”. They must be athletes who are masters in their sports and also set good examples for others. Here are our first two choices.
Lang Ping
As a player, Lang Ping brought honour and glory to her country. As a coach, she led the China women’s volleyball team to medals at world championships and the Olympics. As a person, Lang Ping is loved by fans at home and abroad. When the Chinese team was preparing for the 2015 World Cup, her determination was tested. The team that Lang Ping had built was falling apart. One of the best players had been injured, and the team captain had to leave because of heart problems. Losing two important players was a big challenge, but Lang Ping did not lose heart. She had faced difficulties before, and she knew that her young players could win if they worked together as a team. Two weeks later, they were world champions! Then in 2016, Lang Ping led her volleyball team to Olympic gold in Brazil.
Michael Jordan
When Michael Jordan’s feet left the ground, time seemed to stand still. The player who became known as “Air Jordan” changed basketball with his graceful moves and jumps. Jordan’s skills were impressive, but the mental strength that he showed made him unique. In the final seconds of a game, Jordan always seemed to find a way to win. Jordan says that the secret to his success is learning from his failures. “I can accept failure; everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” Losing games taught him to practise harder and never give up. In life, Jordan has learnt to share his success with others. The Boys and Girls Club that he started in Chicago has been helping young people since 1996. Send your suggestions for “Living Legends of Sports” to LLS@ sport.net.

The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.
Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to be have in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.
4. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?
A. The British often enlarge the fact.
B. British jokes are connected with many different cultures.
C. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
D. The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.
5. The author explains understatement by ______.
A. describing a process B. making comparisons
C. following time order D. using examples
6. According to the text, Mr. Bean’s humor mainly lies in ______.
A. his interesting dialogues
B. his unique body language and facial expressions
C. his silly and unpleasant behaviors
D. his ability to make fun of different classes of society
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A British Humor in Comedy B. Humor in Different Cultures
C. Understanding British Humor D. Developing Your Sense of Humor
C
China is widely known for its ancient civilisation which has continued all the way through into modern times, despite the many ups and downs in its history. There are many reasons why this has been possible, but one of the main factors has been the Chinese writing system.
At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based language. It dates back several thousand years to the use of longgu— animal bones and shells on which symbols were carved by ancient Chinese people. Some of the ancient symbols can still be seen in today’s hanzi.
By the Shang Dynasty (around 1600-1046 BCE), these symbols had become a well-developed writing system. Over the years, the system developed into different forms, as it was a time when people were divided geographically leading to many varieties of dialects and characters. This, however, changed under Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221-207BCE).
Emperor Qinshihuang united the seven major states into one unified country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction. That writing system was of great importance in uniting the Chinese people and culture. Even today, no matter where Chinese people live or what dialect they speak, they can all still communicate in writing.
Written Chinese has also become an important means by which China’s present is connected with its past. People in modern times can read the classic works which were written by Chinese in ancient times. The high regard for the Chinese writing system can be seen in the development of Chinese characters as an art form, known as Chinese calligraphy, which has become an important part of Chinese culture.
Today, the Chinese writing system is still an important part of Chinese culture. As China plays a greater role in global affairs, an increasing number of international students are beginning to appreciate China’s culture and history through this amazing language.
8. What is one of the main reasons for China’s ancient civilisation to continue into modern times?
A. The Chinese writing system. B. Its powerful political system.
C. The unity of its people. D. Its geographical location.
9. Written Chinese dates back to the use of longgu, which refers to.
A. ancient books B. special tools for writing
C. animal bones and shells D. a kind of painting
10. What happened to the Chinese writing system under Emperor Qinshihuang?
A. It became a picture-based language. B. It developed into different forms.
C. It began to develop in one direction. D. It was replaced by a new system.
11. Why has Chinese calligraphy become an important part of Chinese culture?
A. Because it is very easy to learn.
B Because it was invented by Emperor Qinshihuang.
C. Because it is the only art form in China.
D. Because it shows the high regard for the Chinese writing system.
D
Persuasion fatigue (疲劳) is a new term implying a situation where a person experiences a worn-out and frustrating feeling as a result of failing to persuade someone to do something or take a certain direction.
How do you react when your power of persuasion fails? You might regard the viewer as biased (有偏见的), stupid or otherwise out of touch with reality. You naturally feel your logic is right. You might decide to stop talking about that particular topic. You might even end relationships with your viewers. Indeed, these unresolved debates can contribute to social distancing and parent-child breakups.
In ongoing research, we are investigating the consequences of this experience. Our initial findings — still unpublished — suggest that persuasion fatigue is widespread. Of 600 people in the U. S. who participated in recent studies, 98 percent reported having experienced this fatigue, caused by discussions of topics such as politics, religion and health. Our work also suggests that most people believe debates hit dead ends because the other person in the conversation was at fault.
Yet we humbly suggest that sometimes it’s not them; it’s you. Fortunately, research suggests some sound approaches to saving these situations and protecting your relationships. As an initial step, label your emotional experiences, which helps you manage your feelings, including anger and sorrow. Simply acknowledging your persuasion fatigue as such may help you slow down, take a breath and ask yourself why a discussion has been stuck. Second, remember values and feelings are the basis of thinking. To reach your audience, it is essential to express your message in terms of their values, not yours. Wrapping your message in your audience’s values has been proven to increase its persuasiveness.
In our research thus far, 28 percent of participants have cited persuasion fatigue as the reason for cutting someone out of their life. Recognizing persuasion fatigue and how we contribute to it may help us pass through debatable situations without leaving those we love behind.
12 What is a probable consequence of persuasion fatigue?
A. Reducing prejudice against viewers. B. Breaking up with your viewer.
C. Continuing to explore the issue. D. Questioning your own speech logic.
13. What can we learn from the research?
A. It’s common to experience persuasion fatigue.
B. Persuasion fatigue always clouds our judgment.
C. It is easy for people to acknowledge their fault.
D. People are sensitive to topics concerning money.
14. What is a recommended way to overcome persuasion fatigue?
A. Give in to your own feelings.
B. Identify the audience’s emotions.
C. Shift your point of view immediately.
D. Take the audience’s values into account.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Persuasion Fatigue: Who to Blame?
B. Persuasion Fatigue: How to Assess It?
C. Persuasion Fatigue: A New Frustration
D Persuasion Fatigue: A Cause for Poor Relations

The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.
Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to be have in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.
4. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?
A. The British often enlarge the fact.
B. British jokes are connected with many different cultures.
C. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
D. The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.
5. The author explains understatement by ______.
A. describing a process B. making comparisons
C. following time order D. using examples
6. According to the text, Mr. Bean’s humor mainly lies in ______.
A. his interesting dialogues
B. his unique body language and facial expressions
C. his silly and unpleasant behaviors
D. his ability to make fun of different classes of society
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. British Humor in Comedy B. Humor in Different Cultures
C. Understanding British Humor D. Developing Your Sense of Humor
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍英国幽默的特点,以及Mr. Bean作为英国幽默的典型代表。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes.The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement. (然而,外国人往往很难理解他们的笑话。要记住的主要一点是,英国人经常使用低调的说法。)” 以及第二段“Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. (低调陈述意味着说的比你想象或感觉的少。)”可知,外国人很难理解英国笑话是因为英国人经常使用低调陈述,试图让某些事情看起来比实际情况更不重要。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly. (例如,如果有人在阵雨中淋湿了,他可能会说:“外面有点湿。”或者,如果有人非常不礼貌,对另一个人大喊大叫,其他人可能会说,“她不太友好”。)”可知,作者通过举例子的方式来解释低调陈述。故选D。

China is widely known for its ancient civilisation which has continued all the way through into modern times, despite the many ups and downs in its history. There are many reasons why this has been possible, but one of the main factors has been the Chinese writing system.
At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based language. It dates back several thousand years to the use of longgu— animal bones and shells on which symbols were carved by ancient Chinese people. Some of the ancient symbols can still be seen in today’s hanzi.
By the Shang Dynasty (around 1600-1046 BCE), these symbols had become a well-developed writing system. Over the years, the system developed into different forms, as it was a time when people were divided geographically leading to many varieties of dialects and characters. This, however, changed under Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221-207BCE).
Emperor Qinshihuang united the seven major states into one unified country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction. That writing system was of great importance in uniting the Chinese people and culture. Even today, no matter where Chinese people live or what dialect they speak, they can all still communicate in writing.
Written Chinese has also become an important means by which China’s present is connected with its past. People in modern times can read the classic works which were written by Chinese in ancient times. The high regard for the Chinese writing system can be seen in the development of Chinese characters as an art form, known as Chinese calligraphy, which has become an important part of Chinese culture.
Today, the Chinese writing system is still an important part of Chinese culture. As China plays a greater role in global affairs, an increasing number of international students are beginning to appreciate China’s culture and history through this amazing language.
8. What is one of the main reasons for China’s ancient civilisation to continue into modern times?
A. The Chinese writing system. B. Its powerful political system.
C. The unity of its people. D. Its geographical location.
9. Written Chinese dates back to the use of longgu, which refers to.
A. ancient books B. special tools for writing
C. animal bones and shells D. a kind of painting
10. What happened to the Chinese writing system under Emperor Qinshihuang?
A. It became a picture-based language. B. It developed into different forms.
C. It began to develop in one direction. D. It was replaced by a new system.
11. Why has Chinese calligraphy become an important part of Chinese culture?
A. Because it is very easy to learn.
B. Because it was invented by Emperor Qinshihuang.
C. Because it is the only art form in China.
D. Because it shows the high regard for the Chinese writing system.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】

Persuasion fatigue (疲劳) is a new term implying a situation where a person experiences a worn-out and frustrating feeling as a result of failing to persuade someone to do something or take a certain direction.
How do you react when your power of persuasion fails? You might regard the viewer as biased (有偏见的), stupid or otherwise out of touch with reality. You naturally feel your logic is right. You might decide to stop talking about that particular topic. You might even end relationships with your viewers. Indeed, these unresolved debates can contribute to social distancing and parent-child breakups.
In ongoing research, we are investigating the consequences of this experience. Our initial findings — still unpublished — suggest that persuasion fatigue is widespread. Of 600 people in the U. S. who participated in recent studies, 98 percent reported having experienced this fatigue, caused by discussions of topics such as politics, religion and health. Our work also suggests that most people believe debates hit dead ends because the other person in the conversation was at fault.
Yet we humbly suggest that sometimes it’s not them; it’s you. Fortunately, research suggests some sound approaches to saving these situations and protecting your relationships. As an initial step, label your emotional experiences, which helps you manage your feelings, including anger and sorrow. Simply acknowledging your persuasion fatigue as such may help you slow down, take a breath and ask yourself why a discussion has been stuck. Second, remember values and feelings are the basis of thinking. To reach your audience, it is essential to express your message in terms of their values, not yours. Wrapping your message in your audience’s values has been proven to increase its persuasiveness.
In our research thus far, 28 percent of participants have cited persuasion fatigue as the reason for cutting someone out of their life. Recognizing persuasion fatigue and how we contribute to it may help us pass through debatable situations without leaving those we love behind.
12. What is a probable consequence of persuasion fatigue?
A. Reducing prejudice against viewers. B. Breaking up with your viewer.
C. Continuing to explore the issue. D. Questioning your own speech logic.
13. What can we learn from the research?
A. It’s common to experience persuasion fatigue.
B. Persuasion fatigue always clouds our judgment.
C. It is easy for people to acknowledge their fault.
D. People are sensitive to topics concerning money.
14. What is a recommended way to overcome persuasion fatigue?
A. Give in to your own feelings.
B. Identify the audience’s emotions.
C. Shift your point of view immediately.
D. Take the audience’s values into account.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Persuasion Fatigue: Who to Blame?
B. Persuasion Fatigue: How to Assess It?
C. Persuasion Fatigue: A New Frustration
D. Persuasion Fatigue: A Cause for Poor Relations
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C

I'm sorry to know that you 're having such a bad time at the moment. The truth is that everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong, so you don t have to worry so much. The important thing is to learn to control your temper. Here are three useful tips:
First, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Second, go outdoors and play team games with your friends as physical exercise, which is an effective way to get rid of your anger. And third, remain optimistic about your future. Such a positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits.
I hope you'll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.
Yours,
Jamie
