For 16-year-old Ma Yifei, the violin performance of the Beijing 2022 Olympic theme song, Snowflake (雪花), was her best present for Paralympians (残奥运动员)all over the world. Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance.
Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young.
She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion
Ma's mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱)before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.
Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles(肌肉)herself.
“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises, ”said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, "As I've been practising so long, it's hard to give up I believe I will play better if I persist in practising. "
In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow
her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.

The list for the sixth-grade basketball team was announced online. I was a little worried because I knew how much my 12-year-old son wanted to make the team
I read the list of 13 names for a few minutes. Finally, I had to tell myself that my son wasn't among the players who were allowed to continue playing I felt sad. I wished it would be about victory. Like every parent, I love to say, "You did it! "
Instead, I had to give my son a speech to comfort my son, which was a lot less exciting, but probably more important. It was not really a speech, but a further discussion about spirit, courage and not giving up. Although it was painful for me to see myself so disappointed(失望), I needed to keep my own feelings in check Sure, I wanted to call he coach to say he made a big mistake, but I would not. Nor would I let my son know that I thought it unfair(不公平的). Instead, I put my own feelings aside and let my son have a safe place to calm down his own moods. And when he was done, I needed to encourage him to continue to improve skills. That day was a loss, but the
only way to get another was to put on his trainers and get on the basketball court again.
My son is 15 years old now. And, after being cut from the team for three years in a row(连续地), he got to see his name on the list for the high school team. Last week, my husband and I watched him play in his first game. The smile on his face when he made his first shot in is something I will never forget After so many failures, it was a win that didn't come easy for him. And it wouldn't have happened if he had given up trying

You stand in a garden. A low noise reaches your ears. You see a small insect flying near your head. You turn to look, and it flies out of sight. There it is again! You move slowly. You can see yellow and black stripes on it.
Is it a bee It lands on a flower, and you take a closer look.
Bees fold( 折 叠 )their wings onto their backs when they stop flying. But this insect's wings reach out like a fly's. That's because it is a fly—a flower fly.
Many flower flies look like bees. This helps keep them safe from animals that may want to eat them. Insects with yellow and black stripes usually have stingers(刺). Insect eaters, such as
some birds and frogs, need to get stung only once to know that stripes mean trouble. Flower flies can't sting(叮), but insect eaters see the stripes and leave the flies alone.
Flower flies spend most of their time looking for food. Like bees, flower flies eat pollen(花粉)and nectar(花 密). This makes them easy to find in a garden full of flowers. They are helpful garden insects just like bees. Adult lower flies move pollen from one flower to another, which helps some flowers grow into fruit.
Flower flies can stay in one place while flying. Most insects move forward when they fly. But flower flies can twist their wings, much like hummingbirds do. Twisting keeps them in one place, so they can remain over flowers, leaves, or even you!
62. In which part of a magazine can we probably see this passage
A. Culture. B. Nature. C. Fashion. D. Health.
63. In which way are bees and flower flies different
A. The food that they eat B. The colour of their stripes
C. The way they help garden flowers grow. D. The form of wings when they stop flying
64. What does the underlined phrase "leave the flies alone" in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Make friends with the flies. B. Eat the flies up
C. Keep away from the flies. D. Invite the flies in.
65. What might the writer of the passage agree with
A. People usually like bees better than flower flies.
B. People sometimes mistake flower flies for bees.
C. People should stop birds eating bees and flower flies.
D. People should have beautiful gardens in their neighbourhood.

The next day we climbed to the top of a big hill in the middle of the island and found a cave in the rock.
