Su Yiming believes the two Olympic medals he earned at the Beijing Winter Games were the best gifts on his 18th birthday on Friday
“The gold medal is for sure the best gift for my birthday. The gold and silver medals mean a lot to me. People can see how hard I’ve been working to achieve them,” Su said in an interview in Beijing on Thursday.
Su won China’s first Olympic gold in the men’s snowboard Big Air(单板滑雪大跳台) competition on Feb 15, after winning a slopestyle(单板滑雪自由式) competition on Feb 7. His excellent performance, including the gold-winning 1,800 tricks, has made him a well-known name in China. He said that before he was 14 years old, snowboarding was just a sport for fun during vacations. But after he knew about the Beijing Winter Games, he realized this could be a life-changing opportunity. He was still part of the TV audience during the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, but he told his parents that one day he wanted to compete at the Olympic Games.
“I told myself that I was going to try to reach the Olympic Games, and I would never give up trying to win medals. The reason why I’m doing all this training, and taking part in competitions and the Olympic Games is because of love. I started to practice snowboarding when I was 4 because my parents both love snowboarding,” said Su.
The first time when Su competed at a World Cup, the Shougang Big Air venue(体育场) hosted its first international event. Su, who was just 15 years old, failed for the finals. “I still remember three-and-a-half years ago at Shougang, the same place and the same jump, it was my first Big Air World Cup. That was a great contest for me as I had never taken part in a World Cup before,” Su said
“I missed the final by just one spot at that time at 11th place. So from that time, I saw the difference between me and those top riders. That pushed me harder in the past three years. Now finally I got my best birthday gift.”
1．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to

C．Competing in Beijing Winter Games. D．Having fun.
2．Why does Su do all the training and take part in competitions
A．Because he started to practice snowboarding when he was 4.
B．Because his parents both love snowboarding, and he wants to make them happy.
C．Because he loves winning medals.
D．Because he is crazy about the sport.

①When China was still poor and far behind the West, two Chinese scientists insisted on leading the world through homegrown innovation. They are jet fighter (战斗机) designer Gu Songfen and nuclear energy scientist Wang Dazhong, who won China’s top science award—the State Preeminent Science and Technology Award on Nov 3.
②In the 1950s, China had no aviation (航空) experience, equipment or wind tunnels. As the head of the aerodynamics (空气动力学的) team in Shenyang, Gu’s first task was to develop the country’s first homegrown jet aircraft. Despite difficulties, he managed to complete JJ-1, the first jet aircraft designed in China.
③Gu, 91, started the aerodynamic design of aircraft, which advanced the development of a number of major jet fighters, including the Nanchang CJ-6, a basic training plane, and the Shenyang J-8, a high-speed, high-altitude single-seat interceptor.
④Those aircraft not only greatly improved China’s air defense capabilities but also laid the foundation of its aviation industry.
⑤Wang Dazhong, 86, has spent 60 years working to develop nuclear energy. After nuclear accidents in Three Mile Island in the US in 1979, and Chernobyl in the Soviet Union in 1986, scientists all over the world have worked hard to ensure that reactors (反应堆) are made “inherently safe”. It means they do not depend on measures powered by outside resources to remain stable.
⑥An academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wang led the research, design and operation of China’s first 5-megawatt low temperature nuclear heating reactor and later of its 10-megawatt high temperature gas-cooled reactor. He used key technologies related to helium coolant (氦冷却剂). Both reactors improved the inherent safety of nuclear energy, as well as the application of clean energy. Wang’s scientific achievements have paved the way for clean energy as China works to achieve carbon neutrality (碳中和), said He Jiankun, an expert in Tsinghua University. Nuclear power releases zero carbon and can ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid (电网), he said.
⑦Both Gu Songfen and Wang Dazhong made great contribution to the homegrown innovation for China, which is worth being respected by people around the world especially by our Chinese.

Long long ago, there was a boy called Meng Tsung. He lived with his mother in a small village. Though they were poor, they lived a happy life. Meng Tsung was a good boy, and he always put his mother’s needs and wishes first. What he did was often praised by his neighbors.
One cold winter day, Mother got really sick. Meng Tsung sat by her bed and took care of her day and night. However, nothing helped, and she got worse. Meng Tsung was so worried and asked, “What can I cook for you to make you well ” Mother answered, “I would love a bowl of bamboo shoot soup.”
Winter wasn’t the season for bamboo shoots. Meng Tsung knew that, but he didn’t lose hope. Then, he left Mother with a neighbor and went to the bamboo forest. He found no new shoots there. He knew that Mother would lose her life if he could not offer her the soup. That troubled Meng Tsung, so he sat down on the cold, hard ground and cried.
Meng Tsung did that day after day because Mother kept getting worse. He didn’t know it, but the bamboo god was watching. The bamboo god felt Meng Tsung’s love for his mother and felt bad for Meng Tsung.
The next day, when Meng Tsung finished crying, he saw some things in the ground. They were little green bamboo shoots! His warm tears made the ground wet and helped them grow. Meng Tsung was full of joy. He dug them up, hurried home, and cooked Mother’s soup. After eating the soup, Mother felt much better. Soon, she was healthy again.

A trip to the library was like a great journey to a different country. To get there, we had to walk a mile. But our weekly journeys to the library were a piece of perfection. I had around me at one time all the people I loved best — my father and mother and brothers and sister — and all the things I loved best — quiet, space and books.
I read a lot of books about science: not the spaceships my brothers preferred, but the birds and the bees — literally. I brought home a book of birds and searched the trees for anything other than robins. I went through a phrase of loving books with practical science experiments and used up a whole bottle of white vinegar(白醋) by pouring it on the sides of our apartment building to prove that it was constructed of limestone (石灰石).
One Saturday, as I wandered through the young adult section, I saw a title: Little Women, by Lousia May Alcott. I had learned from experience that titles weren’t everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home. So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs.
I read and read and read Little Women until it was time to walk home, and, except for sleeping and eating, I did not put it down until the end. Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in the wake of Alcott’s story. It was about girls, for one thing, girls who could almost be like me, especially Jo. I had found someone who thought and felt the way I did.

There can be magic in the touch of a hand that loves you. It brings comfort and a silent promise that says, “I am here and you are not alone.”
I remembered every detail about my children. As babies, they reached for me whenever they were hungry or tired or just needed to be held. Sometimes, if they woke in the night, just the touch of my hand would ease them back to sleep. They stuck to me when they took their first steps and we held hands when crossing streets and walking from the car to their classroom on their first day of school.
As they grew older and more independent, I noticed that they didn’t hold my hand much anymore. I told myself it was part of growing up, and I should just be glad they could do things on their own now.
But when you’ve been needed so much for such a long time, it’s hard to step back and feel unnecessary.
Then one day, I was visiting my oldest son in New York, where he was working as an actor on a TV show. As we were about to cross a busy street that was filled with traffic, he grabbed my hand and shouted, “Hang on to me, Mom,” then led me safely across.
At that moment, I realized two things. First, my boy had become a man. Second, it was clear that our roles had changed. We still needed each other, but in different ways than before.
That scene has replayed in various ways with each of my three children. They have all taught me to lean on them just as they once leaned on me, and that we can always lean on each other. We live miles apart, but stay in touch every day. There is magic and comfort and healing in the touch of a hand that loves you, even if it “touches” you from afar.

Once upon a time, there was a happy paper doll that had no face. His whole body was perfectly cut out and painted, except for his face. However, he had a pencil so he could choose whatever face he wanted to have. How lucky! He then spent all day asking everyone he met, “What’s a perfect face like ”
“One with a big beak (鸟嘴),” answered the birds.
“No. Not one with a beak,” said the trees. “The perfect face is full of leaves.”
“Forget the beak and the leaves,” said the flowers. “If you want a perfect face, you fill it with colors.”
The doll followed their advice. Then he had a face. However, it turned out that nobody liked it. And now he couldn’t erase it! “I only wanted a face that everyone would like,” he cried. “And now look, what a disaster (灾难)!”
A small cloud heard his cries and came to him, “I think I can help you. As I’m a cloud, I can make any face you like. What do you think about me changing faces until there’s one that you like I’m sure we can fix you a little bit.”
The doll again felt hopeful. The cloud made all kinds of faces for him. But none of them was perfect enough.
“Never mind,” said the doll. “You’ve been a great friend.” He gave her a big hug and the cloud smiled from ear to ear, happy at having helped. Just then the doll cried excitedly, “That’s it! That’s the face I want! It’s a perfect face!”
“Which one ” asked the cloud. “But I haven’t done anything.”
“Yes, yes you have! It’s that face you make when I hug you!”
The cloud finally realized that he was talking about her big smile. And together they took the pencil and drew the paper doll a big smile, ten times better than beaks, colors and leaves.
