China's Most Mysterious Internet Celebrity(网红）
Her life looks like one straight out of a fairy tale (童话). Li Ziqi impresses millions of people with her videos, where she makes seemingly everything with her own two hands, from dyeing a dress with fresh grape skin to fashioning traditional lipstick from roses in her garden.
She has millions of fans at home and overseas, but she remains a mystery to many of them. She barely speaks in her videos, and she rarely gives interviews. But now, she's ready to open up to us.
To find Li, we had to travel to rural Sichuan Province in southwestern China, where she grew up. Li grew up with her grandparents there. But they were poor, so when she turned 14, Li went to work in the city. In 2012, she decided to return to the countryside to take care of her grandmother.
Four years later, she started filming her life there. Whatever she makes, she leaves no stone unturned, going as far as raising baby ducklings just to make a sauce out of salted duck eggs.
Apart from food, she s also known for her videos presenting traditional crafts, like building a bamboo furniture set, which she says was inspired by one of her grandfather's old benches. Li’s stylized presentation of rural life stands out in China’s extremely competitive field of online videos.
Today, four years after she first picked up the camera, Li is one of China's most successful online video makers.

Rolling electric power blackouts afflicted(困扰) roughly 2 million California residents in
August, 2020 as a heat wave gripped(影响) the Golden State. At the center of the problem is a state policy requiring that33 percent of California's electricity come from renewable sources such as solar and wind power, rising to a goal of 60 percent by 2030. Yet data showed that power demand peaks just before the sun begins to go down, when overheated people turn up their air conditioning in the late afternoon. Meanwhile, the power output from California's wind farms in August was erratic.
California electricity grid operators warned that power shortages might become increasingly common when heat waves hit in the coming years. California still has some natural gas power plants that can be ramped up to(提高) supply energy when renewable supplies fail. “But some folks in the environmental community want to shut down all the gas plants,” Jan Smutny-Jones, CEO of the Independent Energy Producers Association, a trade association representing solar, wind, geothermal, and gas power plants, said in August, 2020. “That would be a disaster. 60 percent of the power in the California Independent System Operator electricity network was being produced by those gas plants in this summer. They are your insurance policy to get through heat waves.”
Union of Concerned Scientists analyst Mark Specht, by contrast, said that “The solution is definitely not more natural gas plants. Really, if anything, this is an indication that California should speed up its investments in clean energy and energy storage.”
28. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. The population in California is growing rapidly.
B. California is short of wind and solar power.
C. People turn up their air conditioning all the day.
D. The government required people to use more renewable energy
29. What is the meaning of the underlined word “erratic”
A. Unstable. B. Abundant. C. Changed. D. Increased.
30. What's Jan Smutny-Jones' attitude to shutting all the gas plants
A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
31. What might Mark Specht agree according to the passage
A. More natural gas plants ought to be built in the future.
B. Money should be invested in clean energy early.
C. More energy should be produced in the summer.
D. California government should carry out insurance policy.
D
In Shark Bay, Australia, bottlenose dolphins that aren’t related have been observed teaching each other a new way to use a tool, a behavior that until now scientists have found only in humans and other great apes. It's also the first known example of dolphins passing on such knowledge within the same generation, rather than between generations. That's significant, the authors say, because such social learning between peers is rare in nature.
In a practice called shelling, dolphins will chase fish into abandoned giant snail shells on the seafloor, then bring the shells to the surface and shake them with their noses, draining the water and catching the fish that fall out. In 2007, Krutzen launched a study of Shark Bay's dolphins, identifying more than a thousand individual dolphins over 11 years. During this time, scientists observed shelling 42 times among 19 dolphins. Half of these events occurred after a marine heatwave in 2011, which may have caused a die-off among giant sea snails, leading to more abandoned shells on the seafloor.
Because of the length of their study, scientists had thorough knowledge of the individual dolphins, family histories, ages sexes, and behavior, making it easier for them to study the 19 dolphins that practiced shelling. For instance, they observed that the dolphins that practice shelling hang out with other shelling hunters, so it's likely that they copy the action from those they spend time with, says study lead author Sonja Wild, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Konstanz in Germany. Although 42 observations are a small data set, the scientists add it's likely the behavior is actually common; it only lasts a few seconds, making it harder for people to spot it from a boat.
The team had assumed that environmental factors---specifically, whether shelling dolphins did so simply because they lived in a shell-rich area---could explain this peer-to-peer transmission(传递). A genetic trait(遗传特性) among a family group was another possible reason.
So the researchers combined their data on the dolphin sightings, as well as genetic and
environmental data, into a computer model that proposed various ways shelling could be passed on between dolphins. The model that supported this kind of transmission was the strongest outcome, according to the study.
32. What do we know about dolphins
A. They are becoming rare in nature.
B. They are as intelligent as humans.
C. They cause more sea snails to die.
D. They can carry out social learning.
33. What do the scientists think of the dolphins' behavior
A. It could probably happen often.
B. It may be hard to understand.
C. It is actually meaningless.
D. It differs between dolphins.
34. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4
A. Analyze the causes of the dolphins' behavior.
B. Explain the genetic traits of shelling dolphins.
C. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
D. Get the readers to reflect on the topic.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Shelling Dolphins Face More Dangers.
B. Dolphins Learn Tricks from Each Other.
C. Dolphins Communicate with Sea Snails.
D. Dolphins Abandon Their Natural Habitats.

Are you an angry bird When you're angry, your body becomes tense. 36 Here are some other simple tricks to chill out and think when you get angry.
37 Think like a detective and track down clues about the kinds of situations, people, and events that set off your anger. Once you're aware of them, try to avoid them if possible. Even if you can't get away from them, at least you'll have more time to prepare for them so they don’t affect you so negatively. You can also think of the situation as an opportunity to practice not getting mad.
Go for a walk. When you get really angry, walk away from the source. A 5-minute walk outside or another calming activity like yoga can be both great strategies for dealing with anger. If your anger arises from the traffic jam you're stuck in, turn up the radio and sing at the top of your voice. 38
Write letters. 39 So if you're trying to calm down fast, grab your Journal and write it all out. You can simply write your own feelings or try writing a letter to the person who upsets you. You never have to send it and just writing it will help you feel better.
Talk about your anger. It's not Just writing that helps relieve anger. 40 The trick is not to unload your anger on the person making you upset but to release your pressure by talking with a neutral(中立的) friend, family member, or specialist A neutral observer can bring reasonable judgment to the situation. You can even try talking out loud to yourself about it.
Now that you've learned how to keep your anger in check, try some of these little changes that will make you a happier person.
A. Control your temper.
B. Understand your anger.
C. Expressing it orally can also calm you down greatly.
D. Writing out your feelings really does help you feel better.
E. The idea is to create a mental or physical escape from the situation.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I looked out at the smiling faces packed into the school hall. Flashes from cameras lit up in all directions. The applause (掌声) filled my ears. I had done it. I had really done it.
Just a few months earlier, I would never have pictured myself acting in a play in front of two hundred people. "Not for a million dollars," I would have said. But when the time came, I got up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears—and discovered I could do more than I ever gave myself credit (认可) for. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring, outgoing person who had been hidden all along, just waiting for the opportunity to appear.
If not for my teacher, Mrs. Sather, I might never have found that opportunity.
In the first and second grade, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn't in my personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone well. I was afraid I would do or say something wrong, so usually I just smiled and listened to other people's conversations. I did well in school and I loved to write. However, I would escape into my writing, where I could be myself and never had to worry about what other people thought of me. In my stories, I was never shy.
My teacher, Mrs. Sather, always encouraged me to write more. She told our class to go after our dreams and dig in with both hands. I think she was one of the first people to see my inner strength. One day, she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had written. “I’ll begin to cast (挑选演员) everyone tomorrow,” she said. "I need someone who is not afraid to be on stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part of Dorothy. Anybody want to try " A few excited hands shot up—mine, of course, was not one of them—and Mrs. Sather smiled. "We'll talk more about it tomorrow," she said. Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly left the classroom.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在以下位置作答。
When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs. Sather asked me to go to her.
Hearing Mrs. Sather's words, I realized it was time to make a change.

Paragraph l:
When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs. Sather asked me to go to her .Smiling gently, she asked if I’d like to have a try. “But I'm not good at writing and I'm afraid to screw/mess things up”. in a low voice I said. Mrs. Sather patted me on the shoulder, saying, “Don't worry, dear.” From your writing I know you are a brave girl inside. All you need to do is overcome your fear and take the first step. You can do it. I have faith in you." (75 words)
Paragraph 2:
Hearing Mrs. Sather's words, I realized it was time to make a change. The next day, when Mrs. Sather asked again, I held my hand up high, which surprised everyone. Looking at me encouragingly/approvingly, Mrs. Sather announced, "Let's give the chance to Lily." Excited and determined, I devoted myself to the play. Studying the character, memorizing lines and practicing before the mirror, I became more and more confident. Now, standing on the stage, I knew I had made it! Through misty eyes, I spotted Mrs. Sather, who was smiling at me, thumbing up. ( 80 words)
