Ed used to be a professional football player, full of energy and dreams. But he had an accident in a swimming pool several years ago. After that, he couldn’t move his body from the shoulders down.
Doctors told him that he would probably never walk again, but Ed didn’t want to believe this. He had just got engaged (订婚) to the woman who is now his wife and he said that she was the main reason he wanted to get better. He spent six days staring at his toes (脚趾) and trying to make them move—finally, he succeeded! That tiny movement made him full of hope. He knew his long journey of getting better started.
During his time in hospital, Ed met Paul, a man in his late 30s. Doctors had told Paul he would never walk again, but Ed encouraged him not to give up and six months later, Paul told Ed he was walking with a stick.
Step by step, Ed made much progress. One year after his accident, full of courage, he climbed the highest mountain in Wales. Two years later, he reached the height of the world’s highest mountain by going up and down the stairs (楼梯) many times. Though it was painful and boring, he finished it and raised money for charity.
Ed hopes his story can help people. His story shows that with a strong belief, people can beat the hardest challenges. That’s why he started his own charity, M2M, which aims to support people facing challenges in life.
21. Where did Ed have his accident?
A. In a park. B. In a swimming pool. C. On a mountain. D. At his home.

You may feel that math is difficult and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way?
Numbers are beautiful.
There is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure (测量) the length from your head to your belly button (肚脐) and from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings.
In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote,
“My boat has left ten thousand mountains far away”
“A thousand miles in one day”
—all these numbers show how fast Li Bai travelled and how happy he felt.
Curves (曲线) are beautiful.
“Sine curves” are beautiful. They go in the two different directions on and on without ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly moving. When listening to music, the sound waves from guitars or pianos are made up of sine curves. “Tangent curve” is like a waterfall. Just as Li Bai wrote, “dashing down three thousand feet from on high”.
Rules can be amazing.
There are some amazing rules. In a right-angled triangle (直角三角形), the square of the longest side adds up to the sum (总合) of the squares of the other two sides. How amazing! Just as Chinese people say, “Math is fun!”
26. What can we know if the ratio of a thing is around 0.618?
A. It must be a golden object. B. It only happens in the human bodies.
C. It should be something used for math study. D. It might bring people a sense of beauty.
27. Why does the writer mention Li Bai and his poems in the passage?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To support his opinion.
C. To share the beauty of Li Bai’s poems. D. To offer advice on learning math.
28. What does a sine curve look like?
A. B. C. D.
29. What amazing rule is mentioned in the passage about right-angled triangles?
A. B. C. D.
30. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Why math is beautiful and fun. B. Why math is difficult and confusing.
C. How we can learn math in a right way. D. How math helps us live a better life.

The Changes in Payment Methods
With the development of technology, our life is becoming easier and smarter. Many great changes have taken place in our daily life, especially in the way we pay for things.
In the past, people paid for everything with cash or checks. When shopping, they had to carry wallets full of money. If they wanted to buy something expensive, they might need to count the money carefully. It was not only slow but also sometimes unsafe.
Later, thanks to the development of technology, bank cards became popular. People could swipe their cards in stores and pay without carrying much cash. ATMs made it easy to get money at any time. This was a big improvement.
Now, mobile payment has changed everything. With just a smartphone, people can pay for almost anything—from a cup of tea to a new car. Apps like WeChat Pay and Alipay are used everywhere, even by street sellers. All you need to do is to scan a QR code, and the payment is done in seconds.
Mobile payment is not only convenient but also safe. You don’t need to worry about losing your wallet or getting fake money. However, it’s hard for some old people to use it because they are not familiar with smartphones. The government and communities are helping them learn how to use these new tools. Besides, we also need to be careful to protect our personal information when paying online.
In short, technology is changing our life little by little. Although mobile payment has some disadvantages, it truly brings us great convenience and makes our modern life much better.
