In fact, 10 billion of them are sent every day! The first emojis were created in 1999 by a Japanese designer named Shigetaka Kurita. His first set had 176 simple symbols, but these days we have more than 3500 different emojis to choose from! Even though there are so many emojis, some emojis are used more often than others. To find out which emojis are the most popular, technology company Baidu Japan looked at emoji use in 16 countries, including Japan, the US, the UK, and France, during the first half of 2025. Baidu Japan found that the crying face was the most-used emoji overall. People use it to show many strong feelings, not just sadness, but also pride, happiness, and even laughter. And according to Baidu Japan’s data (数据), the crying face was the most popular emoji in 12 out of the 16 countries it looked at. In fact, the top emojis tend to be quite similar in most countries, with crying faces and laughing faces appearing again and again. In many countries, people use hearts to show love for family or friends. However, cultural differences affect emoji use. In Japan, hearts are mostly used for romantic love, so people choose other emojis to show how they feel. So while we might all use emojis, the way we use them can be quite different! Top emoji by country 26. Why did Baidu Japan study emojis? A. To create new emojis. B. To count daily emoji usage. C. To teach emoji history. D. To find the most popular ones. 27. What can we learn from the passage about emoji use in Japan? A. Japanese people rarely use heart emojis. B. Japan has the most emoji users in the world. C. Hearts are mainly used for romantic love in Japan. D. Japanese people prefer laughing faces to crying faces. 28. Which does the passage mainly talk about? A.

Emojis: Global Use, Popular Types and Cultural Differences. 【答案】26. D 27. C 28.

Have you ever tried a “take-out PE class”? This new kind of service was popular during this summer vacation. ②To have a “take-out PE class”, you order it on social media. The coach will then come with all the things needed for the exercise. The classes include simple fitness training and sports like basketball and tennis. One-on-one lessons usually cost 200 to 400 yuan, Guangming Daily reported. ③“It’s so convenient,” said a woman surnamed Wang whose child is in 3rd grade. She used to spend an hour taking her child to the gym. “Now, the coach comes to the open area of our neighborhood, and I can watch from the balcony,” she said. ④“Take-out PE classes” are not only convenient, but also helpful. “Before, my child often fell down when jumping rope. After three weeks of classes, he improved from 120 jumps a minute to 160,” Wang said. The coach makes a special plan for each child. This is more helpful than big classes. ⑤But this new service also has problems. The Paper reported that most classes take place in neighborhood squares or parks. The ground is often too hard for running and jumping. In addition, many people walk by, and sometimes cars pass through. This can be dangerous. ⑥Many parents who order the classes have children preparing for high school entrance exams. This is an “exam-first” way of thinking, which has changed the true meaning of exercise, noted Xinhua. 29. “Take-out PE class” is different from normal PE classes mainly in ________. A. the class places B. the cost of each class C. the types of sports D. the teaching methods 30. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A The coach making a special plan for each child. B. The “take-out PE class” being popular in summer. C. Parents ordering classes for high school entrance exams. D. The unsafe environment of neighborhood squares or parks. 31. What does Xinhua suggest in the last paragraph? A. “Take-out PE classes” have many problems. B. Exercise is important no matter the purpose. C. Students should exercise for their own fitness. D. “Take-out PE classes” change the way students exercise. 32. What is the structure of the passage?(①=Paragraph 1,②=Paragraph 2...) A. ①/②/③④/⑤⑥ B. ①/②③/④⑤/⑥ C. ①②/③/④⑤/⑥ D. ①/②③④/⑤/⑥ 【答案】29. A 30. D 31. C 32. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一种暑期流行的“外卖体育课”服务模式及其优缺点。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“To have a ‘take-out PE class’, you order it on social media. The coach will then come with all the things needed for the exercise.”可知“外卖体育课”主要通过社交媒体预约，教练会携带所需器材上门教学，与常规体育课的主要区别在于上课地点，故选A。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“The ground is often too hard for running and jumping. In addition, many people walk by, and sometimes cars pass through. This can be dangerous.”可知该句讲的是这项新服务的缺点，有地太硬及车辆经过等危险。故“This”指代社区广场或公园的不安全环境，故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据“This is an ‘exam-first’ way of thinking, which has changed the true meaning of exercise”可知新华社建议学生应该为自身健康而锻炼，而非仅为考试，故选C。 【32题详解】 篇章结构题。文章结构为：①引入话题；②介绍购买课程的方式及价格等；③④介绍优势；⑤⑥指出问题总结评价，故选A。 C “Let’s go! Wahoo!” Sept 13 marked the 40th anniversary of the game Super Mario Bros. With his red hat and famous mustache, the Italian plumber (水管工人) Mario first appeared in the game Donkey Kong (1981). Later in 1985, he became famous with Super Mario Bros. In this game, the Mushroom Kingdom is taken over by King Koopa. With his helpers, he takes Princess Peach away. Mario and his brother Luigi, both plumbers, hear about what has happened and set off to help. Though Mario is a hero in the famous game, he still finds time for many hobbies in the game series and spin-offs. He plays tennis, soccer, baseball and basketball. He is also a race car driver, an Olympic athlete and a doctor. On top of all this, he throws a lot of house parties. In real life, no one could do all of these things. That’s why Mario has won the hearts of millions of fans around the world. Mario’s actions in the game can be easily understood by everyone. As Mario’s creator, Japanese game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, explained in an NPR interview in 2015, “Everyone is afraid of falling from a great height. If there is a gap that you have to cross, everyone is going to try to run to jump across...that’s what really resonated with people.” Thanks to these features (特征), Mario has become an international symbol of gaming. Since the start of Super Mario Bros, he has appeared in more than 200 games. His adventures now reach far beyond the screen: from toys and trading cards to movies and even theme parks—showing once again that he truly is “number one”. Fun facts about Mario Mario’s love of jumping and climbing comes from Shigeru Miyamoto’s own childhood fun with building blocks. — Back in the 1980s, it was much harder to animate (把……制成动画) movements of a character’s mouth or hair. So, Mario was given a mustache and a hat because it was easier. — Mario isn’t always the good guy. In the 1982 game Donkey Kong Junior, Mario is bad. He puts Donkey Kong in a cage, and the ape’s son must save him. Rewards (奖励) keep you playing Have you ever wondered why you can’t stop playing games such as Super Mario? It’s not magic, but psychology. Since our brains love rewards, the people who create games put gifts at different stages to keep people interested. These gifts come in two types: some you get right away, and others you must work hard for. The easy ones might be offered when you level up or find things, while the harder ones could be earned by completing difficult tasks. Mixing these gifts makes the game fun and exciting, giving players quick wins and big goals to reach for. 33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Mario first became famous in the game Donkey Kong in 1981. B. Mario only works as a plumber and never has other roles in games. C. Shigeru Miyamoto got the idea of Mario’s jumping from his childhood building block fun. D. Mario has always been the good guy in all Mario-related games. 34. In the underlined sentence “It’s not magic, but psychology”, what does the underlined word “psychology” most probably mean? A. The knowledge of how to level up in different games. B. The rule of collecting all gifts to finish a game quickly. C. The skill of creating interesting games like Super Mario. D. The study of how the mind works and influences behavior. 35. Why was Mario given a mustache and a hat in the 1980s? A. Because they made Mario look more like a real plumber. B. Because these features were popular among game players at that time. C. Because Shigeru Miyamoto thought they could show Mario’s bravery. D. Because it was harder to animate the movements of a character’s mouth or hair then. 36. What can we learn from Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5? A. Mario has appeared in more than 300 games since 1985. B. Mario’s easy-to-understand actions help him win many fans. C. Mario’s creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, once worked as a plumber. D. Mario’s hobbies in games are the same as those of real people. 【答案】33. C 34. D 35. D 36. B 【解析】 【导语】本文以超级马里奥为话题，介绍了他的形象来源、发展经历以及他在游戏史上的巨大影响，说明马里奥已成为游戏界的象征人物。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Mario’s love of jumping and climbing comes from Shigeru Miyamoto’s own childhood fun with building blocks.”可知，马里奥跳跃和攀爬的灵感来自宫本茂童年玩积木的乐趣。故选C。 【34题详解】 句意猜测题。根据后文“Since our brains love rewards... keep people interested”可知，游戏设计能够吸引玩家，是因为大脑喜欢奖励，这与研究大脑及行为心理有关，与选项D所述“研究思维如何运行及影响行为”一致。故选D。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Back in the 1980s, it was much harder to animate (把……制成动画) movements of a character’s mouth or hair. So, Mario was given a mustache and a hat because it was easier.”可知，给马里奥加胡子和帽子是因为当时制作角色嘴或头发的动画更难，故选D。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In real life, no one could do all of these things. That’s why Mario has won the hearts of millions of fans around the world.”和第五段“Mario’s actions in the game can be easily understood by everyone...that’s what really resonated with people.” 可知，马里奥易懂的动作帮助他赢得众多粉丝，故选B。 D Uncle Tom sang a song about angels and Heaven with Eva in the garden. “Uncle Tom, sometimes I see those spirits,” said Eva. “They come to me in my sleep. I’m going there.” Eva pointed her finger to the sky and said, “To the bright spirits.” Uncle Tom’s heart almost stopped. He looked at Eva. She didn’t look well she was often tired, her breath was short, she had a cough, and she was getting very thin. Miss Ophelia noticed this too, and she tried to tell Eva’s father, St Clare. “Stop that!” St Clare said. “Don’t you see that the child is only growing up? It’s what happens to children of her age.” “But she has that cough!” “That’s nothing. Maybe she has a little cold,” St Clare said. Eva’s health got even worse. She became very weak and she could hardly leave the house, so St Clare sent her to the hospital. In a week or two, it seemed that Eva’s health improved greatly. St Clare was happy and he was sure Eva would get better. But Miss Ophelia was not so sure, and neither was Eva herself. One afternoon, when St Clare called Eva to give her a present, “Papa, I am going to leave you soon.” said Eva, and she started crying. “Oh, my dear!” said St Clare, “you’re just tired and a little weak because of the illness. You will be perfectly fine soon.” “No, Papa” said Eva, “I won’t get better. I am not sad. I’m sorry for you, Papa, and my friends, but I want to go!” “Why do you want to go? Are you unhappy, Eva?” “Oh, I feel sad for our slaves (奴隶): they are all good and kind to me. I wish, Papa, they were all free.” “Don’t you think we treat them well?” said St Clare. “But what will happen to them if anything happens to you? There are very few men like you, Papa. Some people buy the husbands but not the wives, some people buy the mothers and sell the children. What terrible things people do! Papa, isn’t there any way to make all slaves free?” “Slavery is a very bad thing, but I don’t know what to do about it,” said St Clare. “Promise me that Uncle Tom will be free as soon as I’m asleep,” said Eva. —Taken from Uncle Tom’s Cabin 37. What does the underlined sentence “Uncle Tom’s heart almost stopped.” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Uncle Tom was so tired that he almost couldn’t breathe. B. Uncle Tom was surprised that Eva could see spirits in her sleep. C. Uncle Tom felt very scared because Eva’s words made him worried about her. D. Uncle Tom was too excited to control his heart beat when he heard Eva’s song. 38. Why did Eva ask her father to set Uncle Tom free? A. Because Uncle Tom was too old to work as a slave. B.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Eva病重期间，因同情奴隶的处境，在临终前请求父亲St Clare释放Uncle Tom的故事。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Uncle Tom, sometimes I see those spirits”和“She didn’t look well, she was often tired, her breath was short, she had a cough, and she was getting very thin.”可知，Eva身体虚弱、咳嗽且日渐消瘦，却称能看到精灵，Uncle Tom由此担心她的状况，所以“Uncle Tom’s heart almost stopped”表达的是他因 Eva 的话而担忧她。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I feel sad for our slaves (奴隶)... What terrible things people do! Papa, isn’t there any way to make all slaves free?” 可知，Eva因同情奴隶并担忧他们的未来，所以请求父亲释放Uncle Tom，故选D。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文内容和题干可知，本题排序如下：②Eva sometimes saw the spirits come to her in her sleep对应原文第二段内容“Uncle Tom, sometimes I see those spirits”；③Miss Ophelia noticed that Eva didn’t look well and had a cough对应原文第三、四段内容“He looked at Eva. She didn’t look well, she was often tired, her breath was short, she had a cough, and she was getting very thin. Miss Ophelia noticed this too”；①St Clare thought that there was nothing serious with Eva对应原文第四、五段内容“she tried to tell Eva’s father, St Clare. ‘Stop that!’ St Clare said. ‘Don’t you see that the child is only growing up? It’s what happens to children of her age.’”；⑤Miss Ophelia was not sure whether Eva would get better对应原文第八段内容“St Clare was happy and he was sure Eva would get better. But Miss Ophelia was not so sure, and neither was Eva herself.”；④Eva asked St Clare to set Uncle Tom free when she fell asleep对应原文最后一段内容“Promise me that Uncle Tom will be free as soon as I’m asleep”。因此，正确顺序为②③①⑤④，故选B。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。文章围绕Eva病重的状况展开，描述了她从生病到病情恶化的过程，以及她对奴隶的同情和请求释放Uncle Tom的愿望。因此，最合适的标题应该是与Eva的健康状况相关，故选A。 第二节 信息还原（六选五）（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有一项为多余选项。 The movie “731” was released (发行，上映) in China on September 18, 2025. ____41____ This date is the 94th anniversary of the September 18th Incident, an important day in Chinese history.

Birkenstocks are special because their footbeds slowly change to fit people’s feet, ____49____ (make) them perfect for everyone. Another reason is self-expression. People decorate their Crocs ____50____ (show) what they like and who they are. Wearing “ugly” shoes also ____51____ (give) people a break in today’s world, where many feel they must look perfect. Carolyn Mair, a professor of psychology of fashion, told Vogue magazine that our ____52____ (interested) in ugly shoes also comes from how our brain works. “Our brains are often attracted to the unusual over the simplistic.” Mair explained. That’s because brains think that what’s “normal” or usual presents no danger. That’s why people are ____53____ (easy) drawn to something novel. In fashion, this way of dressing ____54____ (call) “peacocking”. Young ____55____ (people) love for “ugly” shoes is not about saying no to beauty, it’s about going against old fashion rules.

This summer, Labubu, a “monster”-looking doll from China with a soft face with large eyes, nine sharp teeth, a furry body, and rabbit-like ears, has won the hearts of many people around the world. People line up very early, even before sunrise, in front of Pop Mart stores, which are the only places to buy Labubu. On resale markets, the prices of Labubu dolls have gone up a lot. They are in such high demand (需求) that they made about $1.8 billion last year. Pop Mart was founded in 2010 by Wang Ning from Henan. Now it has over 400 stores and 2,000 toy machines called roboshops. Because of the popularity of toys like Labubu, Wang Ning became the 10th richest person in China, with $20 billion. Labubu was created by Kasing Lung, a designer from Hong Kong. It first appeared in a picture book in 2015. Labubu’s look is different from that of traditional cute toys. It has a “bad-boy” look, which many people, especially young people, really like. It’s like Labubu is not trying to be perfect, and that makes it cool. Another reason for Labubu’s success is the “blind-box” way of selling. When you buy a blind box, you don’t know which Labubu doll you will get inside. This makes it exciting, just like a little game. People want to open more boxes to find their favorite or a rare one. Some rare Labubu dolls are so hard to get that they can be sold for much more money. Last but not least, Labubu also works with famous brands and stars. Many stars like Lisa and Rihanna enjoy sharing their photos with Labubu online. These bring more attention to Labubu and make it even more popular. Amanda Lee, a 26-year-old from Singapore, likes to open Pop Mart’s blind boxes with her coworkers (同事). “It’s just a fun little thing that we get to do together during our lunch breaks to relax,” Lee told Time magazine. 66.

Kasing Lung, a designer from Hong Kong. 69. Three. 70. Yes, because it can make me excited. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了Labubu这一玩具在中国青少年中的流行情况，包括其外观特点、销售方式、设计师背景以及与其他品牌和明星的合作等方面，同时阐述了其受欢迎的原因。 66题详解】 根据文章第二段“On resale markets, the prices of Labubu dolls have gone up a lot.”可知，在二手市场上，Labubu娃娃的价格大幅上涨。故填The prices of Labubu dolls have gone up a lot. 【67题详解】 根据文章第三段“Because of the popularity of toys like Labubu, Wang Ning became the 10th richest person in China, with $20 billion.”可知，由于像Labubu这样的玩具很受欢迎，王宁成为了中国第十大富豪，身家200亿美元。故填Because of the popularity of toys like Labubu. 【68题详解】 根据文章第四段“Labubu was created by Kasing Lung, a designer from Hong Kong.”可知，Labubu是由来自香港的设计师Kasing Lung设计的。故填Kasing Lung, a designer from Hong Kong. 【69题详解】 根据文章第四段“Labubu’s look is different from that of traditional cute toys.

His first set had 176 simple symbols, but these days we have more than 3500 different emojis to choose from! Even though there are so many emojis, some emojis are used more often than others. To find out which emojis are the most popular, technology company Baidu Japan looked at emoji use in 16 countries, including Japan, the US, the UK, and France, during the first half of 2025. Baidu Japan found that the crying face was the most-used emoji overall. People use it to show many strong feelings, not just sadness, but also pride, happiness, and even laughter. And according to Baidu Japan’s data (数据), the crying face was the most popular emoji in 12 out of the 16 countries it looked at. In fact, the top emojis tend to be quite similar in most countries, with crying faces and laughing faces appearing again and again. In many countries, people use hearts to show love for family or friends. However, cultural differences affect emoji use. In Japan, hearts are mostly used for romantic love, so people choose other emojis to show how they feel. So while we might all use emojis, the way we use them can be quite different! Top emoji by country 26 Why did Baidu Japan study emojis? A. To create new emojis. B. To count daily emoji usage. C. To teach emoji history. D. To find the most popular ones. 27. What can we learn from the passage about emoji use in Japan? A. Japanese people rarely use heart emojis. B. Japan has the most emoji users in the world. C. Hearts are mainly used for romantic love in Japan. D. Japanese people prefer laughing faces to crying faces. 28. Which does the passage mainly talk about? A. How People Use Emojis to Show Romantic Love. B. The History of Emojis Created by Shigetaka Kurita. C. Baidu Japan’s New Study on Emojis in 16 Countries. D. Emojis: Global Use, Popular Types and Cultural Differences. B ①Do you often order take-out food? Have you ever tried a “take-out PE class”? This new kind of service was popular during this summer vacation. ②To have a “take-out PE class”, you order it on social media. The coach will then come with all the things needed for the exercise. The classes include simple fitness training and sports like basketball and tennis. One-on-one lessons usually cost 200 to 400 yuan, Guangming Daily reported. ③“It’s so convenient,” said a woman surnamed Wang whose child is in 3rd grade. She used to spend an hour taking her child to the gym. “Now, the coach comes to the open area of our neighborhood, and I can watch from the balcony,” she said. ④“Take-out PE classes” are not only convenient, but also helpful. “Before, my child often fell down when jumping rope. After three weeks of classes, he improved from 120 jumps a minute to 160,” Wang said. The coach makes a special plan for each child. This is more helpful than big classes. ⑤But this new service also has problems. The Paper reported that most classes take place in neighborhood squares or parks. The ground is often too hard for running and jumping. In addition, many people walk by, and sometimes cars pass through. This can be dangerous. ⑥Many parents who order the classes have children preparing for high school entrance exams. This is an “exam-first” way of thinking, which has changed the true meaning of exercise, noted Xinhua. 29. “Take-out PE class” is different from normal PE classes mainly in ________. A. the class places B. the cost of each class C. the types of sports D. the teaching methods 30. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The coach making a special plan for each child. B. The “take-out PE class” being popular in summer. C. Parents ordering classes for high school entrance exams. D. The unsafe environment of neighborhood squares or parks. 31. What does Xinhua suggest in the last paragraph? A. “Take-out PE classes” have many problems. B. Exercise is important no matter the purpose. C. Students should exercise for their own fitness. D. “Take-out PE classes” change the way students exercise. 32. What is the structure of the passage?(①=Paragraph 1,②=Paragraph 2...) A. ①/②/③④/⑤⑥ B. ①/②③/④⑤/⑥ C. ①②/③/④⑤/⑥ D. ①/②③④/⑤/⑥ C “Let’s go! Wahoo!” Sept 13 marked the 40th anniversary of the game Super Mario Bros. With his red hat and famous mustache, the Italian plumber (水管工人) Mario first appeared in the game Donkey Kong (1981). Later in 1985, he became famous with Super Mario Bros. In this game, the Mushroom Kingdom is taken over by King Koopa. With his helpers, he takes Princess Peach away. Mario and his brother Luigi, both plumbers, hear about what has happened and set off to help. Though Mario is a hero in the famous game, he still finds time for many hobbies in the game series and spin-offs. He plays tennis, soccer, baseball and basketball. He is also a race car driver, an Olympic athlete and a doctor. On top of all this, he throws a lot of house parties. In real life, no one could do all of these things. That’s why Mario has won the hearts of millions of fans around the world. Mario’s actions in the game can be easily understood by everyone. As Mario’s creator, Japanese game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, explained in an NPR interview in 2015, “Everyone is afraid of falling from a great height. If there is a gap that you have to cross, everyone is going to try to run to jump across...that’s what really resonated with people.” Thanks to these features (特征), Mario has become an international symbol of gaming. Since the start of Super Mario Bros, he has appeared in more than 200 games. His adventures now reach far beyond the screen: from toys and trading cards to movies and even theme parks—showing once again that he truly is “number one”. Fun facts about Mario Mario’s love of jumping and climbing comes from Shigeru Miyamoto’s own childhood fun with building blocks. — Back in the 1980s, it was much harder to animate (把……制成动画) movements of a character’s mouth or hair. So, Mario was given a mustache and a hat because it was easier. — Mario isn’t always the good guy. In the 1982 game Donkey Kong Junior, Mario is bad. He puts Donkey Kong in a cage, and the ape’s son must save him. Rewards (奖励) keep you playing Have you ever wondered why you can’t stop playing games such as Super Mario? It’s not magic, but psychology. Since our brains love rewards, the people who create games put gifts at different stages to keep people interested. These gifts come in two types: some you get right away, and others you must work hard for. The easy ones might be offered when you level up or find things, while the harder ones could be earned by completing difficult tasks. Mixing these gifts makes the game fun and exciting, giving players quick wins and big goals to reach for. 33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Mario first became famous in the game Donkey Kong in 1981. B. Mario only works as a plumber and never has other roles in games. C. Shigeru Miyamoto got the idea of Mario’s jumping from his childhood building block fun. D. Mario has always been the good guy in all Mario-related games. 34. In the underlined sentence “It’s not magic, but psychology”, what does the underlined word “psychology” most probably mean? A. The knowledge of how to level up in different games. B. The rule of collecting all gifts to finish a game quickly. C. The skill of creating interesting games like Super Mario. D. The study of how the mind works and influences behavior. 35. Why was Mario given a mustache and a hat in the 1980s? A. Because they made Mario look more like a real plumber. B. Because these features were popular among game players at that time. C. Because Shigeru Miyamoto thought they could show Mario’s bravery. D. Because it was harder to animate the movements of a character’s mouth or hair then. 36. What can we learn from Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5? A. Mario has appeared in more than 300 games since 1985. B. Mario’s easy-to-understand actions help him win many fans. C. Mario’s creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, once worked as a plumber. D. Mario’s hobbies in games are the same as those of real people.

I’m going there.” Eva pointed her finger to the sky and said, “To the bright spirits.” Uncle Tom’s heart almost stopped. He looked at Eva. She didn’t look well she was often tired, her breath was short, she had a cough, and she was getting very thin. Miss Ophelia noticed this too, and she tried to tell Eva’s father, St Clare. “Stop that!” St Clare said. “Don’t you see that the child is only growing up? It’s what happens to children of her age.” “But she has that cough!” “That’s nothing. Maybe she has a little cold,” St Clare said. Eva’s health got even worse. She became very weak and she could hardly leave the house, so St Clare sent her to the hospital. In a week or two, it seemed that Eva’s health improved greatly. St Clare was happy and he was sure Eva would get better. But Miss Ophelia was not so sure, and neither was Eva herself. One afternoon, when St Clare called Eva to give her a present, “Papa, I am going to leave you soon.” said Eva, and she started crying. “Oh, my dear!” said St Clare, “you’re just tired and a little weak because of the illness. You will be perfectly fine soon.” “No, Papa” said Eva, “I won’t get better. I am not sad. I’m sorry for you, Papa, and my friends, but I want to go!” “Why do you want to go? Are you unhappy, Eva?” “Oh, I feel sad for our slaves (奴隶): they are all good and kind to me. I wish, Papa, they were all free.” “Don’t you think we treat them well?” said St Clare. “But what will happen to them if anything happens to you? There are very few men like you, Papa. Some people buy the husbands but not the wives, some people buy the mothers and sell the children. What terrible things people do! Papa, isn’t there any way to make all slaves free?” “Slavery is a very bad thing, but I don’t know what to do about it,” said St Clare. “Promise me that Uncle Tom will be free as soon as I’m asleep,” said Eva. —Taken from Uncle Tom’s Cabin 37.

This summer, Labubu, a “monster”-looking doll from China with a soft face with large eyes, nine sharp teeth, a furry body, and rabbit-like ears, has won the hearts of many people around the world. People line up very early, even before sunrise, in front of Pop Mart stores, which are the only places to buy Labubu. On resale markets, the prices of Labubu dolls have gone up a lot. They are in such high demand (需求) that they made about $1.8 billion last year. Pop Mart was founded in 2010 by Wang Ning from Henan. Now it has over 400 stores and 2,000 toy machines called roboshops. Because of the popularity of toys like Labubu, Wang Ning became the 10th richest person in China, with $20 billion. Labubu was created by Kasing Lung, a designer from Hong Kong. It first appeared in a picture book in 2015. Labubu’s look is different from that of traditional cute toys. It has a “bad-boy” look, which many people, especially young people, really like. It’s like Labubu is not trying to be perfect, and that makes it cool. Another reason for Labubu’s success is the “blind-box” way of selling. When you buy a blind box, you don’t know which Labubu doll you will get inside. This makes it exciting, just like a little game. People want to open more boxes to find their favorite or a rare one. Some rare Labubu dolls are so hard to get that they can be sold for much more money. Last but not least, Labubu also works with famous brands and stars. Many stars like Lisa and Rihanna enjoy sharing their photos with Labubu online. These bring more attention to Labubu and make it even more popular. Amanda Lee, a 26-year-old from Singapore, likes to open Pop Mart’s blind boxes with her coworkers (同事). “It’s just a fun little thing that we get to do together during our lunch breaks to relax,” Lee told Time magazine. 66.

Why did Wang Ning become the 10th richest person in China? _________________________________________________________________ 68.
