"Rosa would like these, " Sam thought, "but would it be tacky(蹩脚的)to give her second-hand books for her birthday "

The party was on Saturday. Rosa opened all her gifts and thanked everyone for the nice things they had given her. She paused(停顿)when she opened Sam's gift, which made him wonder if she liked the books, but nothing was said.

No one knows who invented the button (扣子). It might have appeared as early as 2,000 BC. When it first started, it was just something beautiful sewn (缝上) onto your clothes. What is more important than the button is the buttonhole (扣眼). About 3,000 years later, someone finally invented the buttonhole, and buttons were suddenly useful.
Before buttons, clothes were bigger—they had no fixed shapes. Because of the buttonhole, the fashion moved closers to the body when we discovered uses for the button. It was the very way to make clothes fit well for the body. People feel safer like it’s never going to open.
The size of the button depends on its use. Shirt buttons are generally small, and they are close to each other, while coat buttons are larger and farther apart. For example, the standard buttons of men’s shirts are 10.16 mm and of suit jackets are 20.32 mm.
In modern clothing and fashion design, buttons are mostly made of plastic but also may be made of metal or wood. Buttons can also be used on wallet bags. They can be shown as examples of works of art.
A button can be used for a long time. It’s one of the most lasting designs in history, because it really works to make people feel safer. Zippers easily break and are hard to fix. However, if a button breaks, you just need to sew another on. And you can sew more buttons if needed.
The pattern of a button hasn’t changed much since the Middle Ages. It’s not only one of the most useful inventions, but it plays an important role in the development of clothes. Up to now, we can still see its influence on the clothes design. If you’re wearing the clothes with buttons, take a look at the position of buttons on it. If you’re a man, the buttons would likely be on the right side, but for a woman, the buttons are usually found on the left.
26. Buttons were suddenly useful ________.
A. after about 3, 000 BC B. before buttonholes appeared
C. after buttonholes were invented D. when buttons appeared in 2,000 BC
27. According to Paragraphs 2&3, which of the following is true
A. Shirt buttons are bigger than coats’. B. Coat buttons are close to each other.
C. Coat buttons fit well for the body. D. Suit jacket buttons are bigger than shirts’.
28. In Paragraph 4, different materials of buttons are mentioned EXCEPT ________.
A. metal B. glass C. wood D. plastic
29. According to the text, which of the following is true
A. The influence of buttons never disappears. B. Buttons are not so easy to fix as zippers.
C. People see buttonholes as works of art. D. Buttons make clothes out of date.
30. In which part of a website would you most probably read the text
A. Life. B. Travel. C. Environment. D. Energy.

“Hello, everyone! Welcome to Tiangong Class.” A special lecture began on Tiangong space station about 400 kilometers above Earth on Dec. 9, 2021. Lasting for about an hour, the space lecture was given to millions of students. Three astronauts, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu showed how they live and work on the space station and did some interesting experiments. This space lecture was greatly different from the one 8 years before. The “classroom” was bigger. It was China’s first extraterrestrial (地球外的) lecture series.
Plants in space —The lab of the space station has many conditions that the Earth lab does not have, such as the weightless environment. The important jobs for astronauts included cell (细胞) observation and “feeding” plant life. In the lecture, Ye showed experiments about cell growth in a weightless environment. As early as 2016, Chinese scientists tried to grow rice on the Tiangong II space lab to study how plants grow without an Earth-like environment.
Use it or lose it —The human body grows with the pull of Earth’s gravity (重力). But in space, our bones and muscles (肌肉) don’t need to support our body’s weight. This will cause bone and muscle loss. Astronauts can lose up to 20 percent of their muscles after a couple of weeks. That is dangerous for astronauts because they will be too weak to work.
Astronauts have different ways to precent this. Zhai introduced a special uniform called “penguin suit”. Wearing it, astronauts use their muscles to stretch the bands in it. This keeps their muscles strong. Wang also showed students how she walked on a machine, and rode a bicycle. Astronauts exercise like that every day to prevent muscle loss.
Young voices -Students were really interested in the lecture. A 13-year-old boy from Tianjin said, “The most exciting thing I learned is that astronauts “fly” all the time because there is no gravity.”
Yin Peixin, an 11-year-old girl from Hubei said, “My favorite experiment is the one with the table tennis ball. Wang put the ball into a glass of water, but the ball didn’t float (漂浮). This was so magical!”
Look! It was an eye-opening experience that would light up students’ interest in science, wasn’t it
31. What do we know about the 2021 space lecture from Paragraph 1
A. It was similar to the one 8 years before. B. It took place half a year ago.
C. It showed astronauts’ life and work. D. It was given in a smaller classroom.
32. From Paragraph 2, what did Ye want to show the students
A. How cell grows on the space station. B. How rice is grown on the Tiangong lab.
C. How to better grow space plants. D. How to study the rules of plant growth.
33. What does the part “Use it or lose it” mainly talk about
A. The reasons for muscle loss. B. Muscle loss in space and ways to stop it.
C. The necessity of daily exercise. D. The advantages of “penguin suit”.
34. According to the article, which is NOT TRUE about the 2021 space lecture
A. The influence is far more than one hour. B. It showed the differences without gravity.
C. It interested the kids with the experiments. D. It first introduced plant growth in space.
35. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this article
A. To light up people’s interest in space experiments. B. To explain the importance of studying plants in space.
C. To introduce the space lecture by Chinese astronauts. D. To make scientific knowledge popular among readers.
