Dressed in a flowing long robe with beaded floral embroidery(珠串刺绣) from the past era, stylist Xiao Hang looks like coming from a time machine, attracting a lot of curious glances and questions.
China has made Western fashion and technology fall together with its high-speed development in recent years. At the same time, the government has also increased the publicity and learning of traditional Chinese culture from the aspects of education, culture, entertainment and so on, which seems to make period dramas and traditional "hanfu" or "Han clothing" become hot overnight. The Story of Minglan, a TV series set in the Song Dynasty,got more than 400 million viewers in three days when it was released(发行). A growing number of young people like Xiao are looking to the past for their clothing choices and wearing hanfu. These historic costumes of the Han ethnic majority are enjoying a renaissance(复兴).
There is no clear uniform standard of hanfu because each Han-dominated dynasty had its own style, but the outfits are characterized by loose, flowing robes with sleeves that hang down to the knees. In modem China, the hanfu community spread to the different walks of life, from elderly history lovers to young professionals, and even to students.
Jiang Xue, who is from Beijing-based hanfu club Mowutianxia, said, “ If we as a people and as country do not even understand our traditional clothing or don't wear them, how can we talk about other basic parts of our culture ”
Yang Jiaming, a high school student in Beijing, wears his outfit under his school uniform. "Two-thirds of my wardrobe is hanfu, " he said, dressed in a Tang-style gown and black boots, adding that his classmates and teachers have been backing up him. They are in agreement with his idea that clothes are the foundation of culture.
There is some way before hanfu can be accepted by most of the people in China. Some say sometimes they will lose heart by the strange looks when wearing hanfu in public.
24. Why did the author describe Xiao Hang's long robe at the beginning
A. To attract the readers' attention to the ancient clothes
B. To introduce the special design of hanfu
C. To show the dressing style of Xiao Hang.
D. To give the features of a time machine
25. What mainly makes hanfu popular
A. Western fashion and technology
B. People's interest in period dramas
C. Old people's preference for fine clothes

B. Many people know the clear standard of hanfu.
C. People from hanfu community wear hanfu every day.

Ask yourself,“Why do you work so hard?What motivates you to do so?” Most of you may say a single word to answer both the questions:Family.
All of us inherit our physical features from our parents. However, when you start interacting with the outside world, you realize that they are not enough to ensure your success, not even your survival. It is the values passed on to you by your family such as patience, care, understanding and commitment that make your survival and growth possible.
You may or may not be aware,but your family was the first school you entered. “Survival of the fittest” is the golden rule in this world. In other words,“Let the unfit perish” is the motto. When you stepped into this world,you were unfit to survive on your own. From the first day you came into the world,you started learning about love,care and family relationships at home. For example, by observing your family members,you learned how family relationships work. As time went on, you matured and started taking note of other people outside your family and how your family members interacted with them. You also noticed how your family dealt with the ups and downs of life.
What you learned from your family becomes your value system and forms your perceptions and basis of actions. A person is known by his actions. It is your family that gave you an identity. Whenever you move from one place to another,you carry your family history with you. Have you ever noticed that your opinions always confirmed to the values you acquired from your family
Every person’s relation to his family is similar to the earth’s relation to its environment,which acts as a protective layer. For a person,the importance of family is beyond calculation. The saying goes that you can choose your friends but you can’t choose your family. Spend your life showing those you love that they will always be family no matter what happens.
28. Your family can help you survive by________.
A. providing more love for you
B. shaping your personality
C. introducing you to the outside world
D. improving your school education
29. According to the passage, a person represents________.
A. the unity of his family
B. his family benefits
C. the behavior pattern of his family
D. his family relationships with others
30. Like the environment to the earth, a family________.
A. is an interactive system
B. encourages its members to work hard
C. is full of challenges
D. provides security for its members
31. What is the passage mainly about
A. The development of a person.
B. The importance of family.
C. How to survive the hardship
D. What’s a family
D
It has long been believed that the smart phones in our pockets are actually making us duller; but now there is evidence for it.
Researchers at the University of Texas discovered that people are worse at conducting tasks and remembering information if they have a smart phone within eye shot. In two experiments they found phones sitting on a desk or even in a pocket or handbag wouid distract users and lead to worse test scores even when it was set up not to disturb test subjects. The effect was measurable even when the phones were switched off, and was worse for those who were more dependent on their mobiles.
The researchers tested 520 university students on their memory and intelligence when in the presence of a smart phone to see how it affected them. Participants were told to complete tests in mathematics, memory and reasoning with their smart phones either on their desk, in their bag or pockets,or in another room. Those who had their phones on the desk recorded a 10 per cent lower score than those who left them in a different room on operational tasks, which measures working memory and focus. Those who kept their phones further out of sight in their pockets or their bags scored only slightly better than when phones were placed on desks.
The researchers found that the negative effect of having a phone within eye shot was much greater among those who said they were dependent on their smart phones. Participants who had expressed sympathy with phrases such as “I would have trouble getting through a normal day without my cellphone” and “using my cellphone makes me feel happy” performed as well as others when their phone was in a different room,but worse when it was placed on their desk.
The researchers said the effect arises because part of a smart phone users’ mind is devoted to trying not to think about distractions such as whether they have any messages when the smart phone is in their sight.
For the people who scored the lowest, where did they put their cellphone
A. On the desk
B. In their bags.
C. In their pockets.
D. In a different room.
Which of the following will the researchers most probably agree with
A. People shouldn’t have a smart phone.
B. Phones wouldn’t distract users when switched off.
C.Those depending on mobiles are more likely to be distracted
D.Their research has completely changed people’s view on smart phones.
According to the study, why did cellphones affect the participants
A. Using cellphones made them feel happy.
B. They focused on trying to ignore distractions.
C. They spent much time on the received messages.
D. They couldn’t get through a day without cellphones.
Where does the text probably come from
A. Book review.
B. A Science fiction.
C. Cellphone advertisement.
D. A news report.
