After months of expectation and secrecy, the official mascot of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games－a giant panda-inspired cartoon character－made its first public debut with cheers at Beijing's Shougang Ice Hockey Arena.
The panda is named “Bing Dwen Dwen” in Chinese. Bing means “ice” in Chinese, while Dwen Dwen suggests “health and cleverness”－characteristics also shared by pandas. Pandas are perhaps the most recognized animal species in China, organizers said.
“Pandas combine China's traditional culture and its modern appearance together with winter sports elements in a fascinating image that shows our great expectations for the Games and shows that we welcome the world,” said Beijing Mayor Chen Jining, who also serves as an executive president on the organizing committee.
“I have already seen the mascot and from what I've seen, it’s a wonderful choice,” IOC President Thomas Bach said before introducing the character.” “The mascot really takes in the best elements and characteristics of China and the Chinese people. It will be a great ambassador for the country and the 24th Winter Olympics.”
The ring of light surrounding the mascot’s face is suggestive of ice and snow tracks, as well as the flowing “ribbons” of the National Speed Skating Oval. The oval is one of two new competition sites in downtown Beijing expected to become a landmark of the Games, according to its chief designer Cao Xue.
The introduction of the mascots marks the key point of a journey that began in August 2018, when Beijing organizers started a global design competition for the mascots. A total of 5,816 designs were received from 35 countries, and were reviewed by Chinese and international experts in a comprehensive evaluation and selection process.
The new mascot will serve as spirited symbol of the Games that will take place in the three zones of downtown Beijing, the suburban district of Yanqing and co-host city Zhangjiakou in surrounding Hebei province.
What does the underlined word “debut” in paragraph1 mean
A．Design. B．Appearance.
C．Understanding. D．Attention.
35. What’s paragraph 5 mainly about
A．The origin of the mascot image.
B．The introduction to the mascot designer.
C．The hard work behind the mascot design.
D．The hidden meaning of the mascot image.
36. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Mascot of the 24th Winter Olympic Games.
B．A Historical Moment of the Winter Olympic Games.
C．Bing Dwen Dwen: a Lovely Panda Welcomes the World.
D．Comments on the Mascot of the 24th Winter Olympics.

When Benjamin was in eighth grade, he quit the swim team. It was not because he lacked the passion; he just couldn’t accept failures in matches. "I'm not Michael Phelps, why am I even on the team ”he said.
A US therapist(治疗专家) who researches perfectionism at Northwestern University realized years later what had happened. Benjamin's perfectionism was creating unrealistic standards. Unable to meet them, he quit.
“My perfectionism prompted high expectations, and that caused real suffering," Benjamin said. He is not alone in feeling that perfectionism can lead to anxiety. So many millennials(千禧一代) suffer from the ills of perfectionism that psychologists are issuing warnings and schools are emphasizing the need to accept failure.
Northwestern had held seminars that offered tips on how students could deal with a perfectionism problem. Jessica, leading the events and researches, said every generation is a sponge(海绵) for the messages it receives. Millennials, more than any other generation in American society, are receiving clear messages around achieving," she said. "There's an absence of messaging that trying your hardest is still OK. "
The American Psychological Association also found that recent generations of college students have reported higher levels of perfectionism than earlier generations. This “desire to achieve along with being overly critical of oneself and others" affects young people's mental health, according to research data from over 40,000 college students.
Researchers noted that social media adds comparative pressure, along with the drive to earn money and achieve career goals. Perfectionists often create unrealistic goals, which can lead to a higher risk of failure.
In college, Benjamin found himself surrounded by so many intelligent people that he felt he should have been achieving a higher level than he was. “ It makes you feel kind of crazy,” he said.
This type of thinking can lead to people putting in less effort, which, as they fall behind, can create more anxiety. "It makes people feel kind of isolated. ”And that, Benjamin added, “can cause students to drift away from their school.”
Why did Benjamin give up on the swim team
A．Because he is not Michael Phelps.
B．Because he lacked the passion.
C．Because he couldn't live up to his expectations.
D．Because swimming was too difficult for him to learn.
38. According to Benjamin, perfectionism made him ______.
A．dream of becoming Michael Phelps. B．set up achievable standards.
C．surrounded by intelligent people. D．put less effort and feel anxious.
39. What new problems are millennials really faced with
A．Accepting failures. B．Learning swimming.
C．Chasing perfectionism. D．Befriending other people.
40. Which statement of the researchers is TRUE
A．Millennials are never told that trying hard also counts.
B．Millennials pursue perfection just as earlier generations do.
C．Social media adds pressure in comparison with peers.
D．Perfectionism leads to realistic goals and causes a higher risk of failure.

If you're like most pet owners, you probably talk to your pet all the time, even if you feel a little silly about it. But experts say your pet is actually "talking" back to you, even if you don't totally understand what they're trying to say. Cats and dogs are extremely cognitive（认知的）beings and communicate with us all the time. A pet's cognition starts developing as soon as they're born and changes with age just like humans.
What is cognition (41)_____ It involves memory, the ability to deal with a changing environment and interacting with other individuals. Just like people, pets go through age-related cognitive changes, but these changes can often be confused with physical issues because they look similar.
How do you notice cognitive changes (42)_____ The following could be clues that your pet's cognition is off:
*They appear confused or cannot remember their training. Forgetting tricks or house training can be clues.
*(43)_____ If your pet is showing less affection, it may be a sign that they're having trouble remembering people.
*Aggression. Sudden aggression toward strangers and even family members can be a sign that they've lost the ability to recognize people.
*Lack of appetite. (44)_____
*Change in sleep-wake cycle. Sleeping all day and staying up all night is not normal behavior and may be a sign of something more.
*Giving your pet good nutrition is extremely important. (45)_____ Certain nutrients like antioxidants（抗氧化物）from vegetables, along with vitamins and fats from coconuts, can all help boost an aging dog's brain. And, if your pet is over the age of 7, it's time to start looking for a senior brand of food. If your pet is exhibiting strange behavior, talk to your vet about what next steps you can take.
A. Lack of interaction or affection.
B. They aren't interested in anything.
C. It's not always easy to notice these.
D. Pets have the same cognition as human beings.
E. Nutrition helps bridge the gap for cognition as your pet ages.
F. Your pet may forget where their bowl is or when to expect food.
G. Cognition is the ability to learn something and do complex tasks.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The event that stands out in Tom's memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.
"Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop." someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor (走廊) through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane suddenly stopped. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed her.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik. Jane began banging on Makcik's door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
"She would have run for safety like everyone else!" Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up.
"I know Makcik's still inside." She well knew about Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded the door. "Go downstairs. Go now! Go!"

Dear Nick,
I am sorry to hear that you are addicted to King of Glory. Now I am giving you some tips that may work.
Spending too much time and energy on games is harmful to our health. If you lose yourself in it, you may become isolated from the real world and ignore the beauty and love in life. In my opinion, you can play basketball or other sports with your friends, which can not only help you keep healthy, but strengthen your friendship. Besides, you can also communicate with your parents and friends. Last but not least, you can read some interesting books to expand your knowledge in your spare time.
I will be happy if you could get rid of the game. Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua
作文二
Tom noticed the flame was growing higher and higher. Frozen with fear, he stood rooted to the spot. He comprehended the gravity of the situation and held Jane’s hand tightly. Both of them were coughing and their eyes were stinging. Time seemed to stand still , though they were probably there for only two or three minutes. Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible. Jane tried to shield her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head. She kept pounding against the door. Tom burst out crying.
Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane’s mind. She told them Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their might. Sure enough, Makcik was lying in bed unconscious. She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital where she finally came to herself. People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom’s joy was immense.

Josh and I have been best friends for over a year. We hang out together almost every day. However, about a month ago, we had a big fight. That day I went to Josh's house to watch a movie with him.But Josh said he wanted to go and watch his older sister's performance at school. When I asked if I could come too, Josh said no. I felt hurt. I asked why I couldn't come, and Josh said, “I want to do something without you!" I ran home feeling sad. When my mother saw me, she asked why I was blue I told her everything. She said, if you really get along with someone and have a good time when he's around, you will want to spend all your free time with him. But spending every single day with someone can be boring. Sometimes you both need some time of your own. Hearing what my mother said, I knew that there wasn't anything wrong with our friendship. I also learned that Josh and I shouldn't spend every single minute together.
