Yue-Sai Kan was born in 1946 in Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, and grew up in Hong Kong. In 1968, while majoring in piano at the Hawaii campus of Brigham Young University, Kan entered a beauty contest sponsored by the local Chinese Chamber of Commerce. She won second place, and as a result got to travel around the world. The life-changing experience marked the beginning of her career in fashion, beauty, communication and cultural exchange.
In 1972, she moved to New York and created the weekly television series Looking East, the first of its kind to introduce Asian cultures and customs to a growing US audience. In 1986, Kan returned to China, producing and hosting the television series One World, which was the first show ever hosted by a Chinese-American on the television network, and was a national hit. Other important projects of hers include the ABC documentary China：Walls and Bridges，which initially explored different forms of spirituality in the country over the ages.
"I worked in China for almost 40 years, and I was there to witness and contribute to the country’s extremely fast pace of change. This rare experience has given me a unique vision. As I say all the time, if I stay away from China for six months, I already miss so much of what is happening there！The Chinese saying ‘a year—small change, three years—big change’ has held true all this time,” Kan says.
Kan has never stopped doing what she loves. She is currently planning to do a 10-part
television series exploring and highlighting the most interesting aspects of 10 Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Chengdu. “I firmly believe that a TV series featuring these major Chinese cities is not only timely, but also necessary to educate, enlighten (开导，启发) and entertain by showcasing the Chinese people as they live today. This will help remove some of the misunderstandings about China in the world,” Kan says.
Throughout her life, Kan has also been deeply involved in charity. On Jan 26, she is planning to host a major charity event in San Francisco, in which she will honor 12 of the most outstanding Chinese-American women.
What contributes most to starting Kan's career？
A. Her university major. B. Her interest in travel.
C. Her competition experience. D. Her parents' encouragement.
Which feature do the contents of Kan's TV projects have in common？
A. They are entertaining. B. They are critical.
C. They are adventurous. D. They are pioneering.
What does Kan focus on about China in Paragraph 3？
A. Its steady change. B. Its huge challenges.
C. Its great achievements. D. Its fast development.
Which of the following best describe Kan？
A. Gentle and considerate. B. Ambitious and kindhearted.
C. Generous and humorous. D. Optimistic and strict. C
Chinese elements are seen everywhere at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, from stadium construction and brand marketing to mascot manufacturing ( 制造), providing strong support for the grand football event.
The golden-bowl shaped stadium is located 15 kilometers north of Doha, capital of Qatar. Serving as the largest sporting venue in Qatar, it hosts important matches. To make the football pitch ( 场 地 ) and the audience area cooler and more comfortable, independent cooling stations were built outside the stadium, sending cool breezes into the stadium. Hassan Al Thawadi said the complex structure proves the great skills and service ability of Chinese firms, adding that those who watch the games in the venue should be grateful to Chinese engineers and constructors.
In 2020, Chinese manufacturer Yutong was selected to provide service vehicles for the Qatar World Cup. The company equipped its buses with a device that protects the motors from sand and mud, employed liquid-cooling power batteries and adopted an intelligent temperature control in the buses. It is reported that Qatar has imported 1,500 buses from China, including 888 electric
ones to meet the transportation demand. It marked the first time for a major global sports event to use Chinese new energy buses in such large quantities.
In a desert 80 kilometers west of Doha, there is a vast photovoltaic (PV) power station with a total area equal to 1,400 standard football pitches. Built by the PowerChina Guizhou Engineering Co., Ltd., the 800 MW Al Kharsaah Solar Power Plant has over 2 million PV panels that are able to generate 1.8 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity for Qatar each year. It can supply around 300,000 local households and mainly reduce 900,000 tons of CO2 emissions on an annual basis.
More Chinese elements can be seen both on and off the field in Qatar. The appearance of referees Ma Ning, Shi Xiang and Cao Yi marks the first time in the recent 20 years for Chinese referees to judge World Cup games.
What can we learn about Hassan Al Thawadi from Paragraph 2
He thinks much of Qatar’s climate.
He knows the stadium’s function well.
He speaks highly of football watchers.
He greatly praises Chinese contributions.
What do we know about the Chinese Yutong buses
They are cheap and comfortable.
They are used in many fields.
They are provided with high technology.
They are easy to make and operate.
How is Paragraph 4 developed to introduce the PV power station
A. By giving advice. B. By listing numbers.
C. By making comparison. D. By explaining reasons.
What is the passage mainly about
Chinese elements shine at Qatar World Cup.
Chinese goods become quite popular in Qatar.
Chinese referees first judge World Cup games.
Chinese companies make great efforts for Qatar.
D
Today we know Antarctica as an extreme environment containing ice and snow. But new research provides evidence that the area was very different in the past.
The evidence was found inside a piece of earth sediment (沉积物) collected by researchers
from a depth of about 30 meters below the ocean floor off the coast of Antarctica. In the sediment, they found forest soil estimated (估计) to be about 90 million years old. This would have been in
the Cretaceous Period, when dinosaurs were the main land animals.
Johann Klages is a geologist ( 地质学家), working in the Institute's Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research in Germany. He said an examination showed that the material formed on land, not in the ocean.
The researchers estimate that the area – about 900 kilometers from the South Pole – had average yearly temperatures of about 12 to 13 degrees Celsius ( 摄氏度). During the warmest summer months, average temperatures likely reached between 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. The average yearly temperature in that area is about 40 degrees below zero Celsius.
The examination results showed "a dense (密集的) network of roots that spread through the entire soil layer," the Helmholtz Center said in a statement.
The dark brownish-gray soil included fine dirt particles ( 微 粒 ) and hard clay, as well as substances linked to at least 65 different kinds of plants, the study found. Klages put that the plants included trees, ferns and flowering plants and while no animal remains were found, there were likely dinosaurs, flying reptiles and many insects in the environment.
The researchers said that the rainforest environment in Antarctica was especially surprising because each year, the area experiences a four-month polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life.
According to the passage, we can learn that .
dinosaurs were from Antarctica.
Antarctica was always extremely cold.
the ocean floor is made up of sediment.
the area has been experiencing climate changes.
What surprised the researchers
No animals left.
No fertilizer (化肥) to fuel plants.
Roots spreading through the soil.
The rainforest experiencing polar night.
Which section is the passage probably from
A. Science. B. Entertainment. C. Society. D. Fiction.
What can be a suitable title for the text
Antarctica, Once a Warm Rainforest
Earth Sediment Found in Antarctica
Antarctica - an Extreme Environment
New Antarctica Found by Researchers

How to Solve Worry Problems
The Great Nobel Prize winner in medicine, Dr. Alexis Carrel once said, "Businessmen who do not know how to fight worry die young." 36 Then how can we find a quick, surefire recipe for handling worry situations？ Here are a few basic steps to deal with different kinds of worries.
Get the facts
Why is it so important to get the facts Because unless we have the facts, we can't possibly even attempt to solve our problems intelligently. 37 This is the chief cause of worry. Half the worry in the world is caused by people trying to make decisions before they have sufficient knowledge on which to base a decision. If a man will devote his time to securing facts in an objective way, his worries usually disappear in the light of knowledge.
Analyze the facts.
However, getting all the facts in the world won't do any good until we figure out what these facts mean and interpret them. 38 In fact, merely writing the facts on a piece of paper and stating our problem clearly go a long way toward helping us to reach a sensible decision. Therefore, when we are worried, sit down and write down two questions and the answers to these questions, "What am I worrying about " and "What can I do about it "
Arrive at a decision
Worry is killing. So we will probably save our life by sitting down and writing out all the various steps, we could take and then writing down the probable results of each step and calmly coming to a decision. 39 It is the failure to reach a definite decision that drives men mad.
Act on that decision
40 Don't stop to reconsider. Don't begin to hesitate and retrace our steps. Don't lose ourselves in self-doubting which causes other doubts. Don't look back our shoulders.
Write down our worries.
There comes a time when we must decide.
Once we have made a decision, go into action.
Without the facts, we will be left in confusion.
And so do housewives, horse doctors and bricklayers.
It is much easier to achieve this after writing them down.
Experience has proved the enormous value of arriving at a fixed decision.

Dear Bob,
I'm writing in the hope that you will be kind enough to do me a favor. When it comes to paper-cutting，there is no denying that it enjoys a great reputation in my hometown. For a long time I have been longing to write an appealing article to make it better known. However, only when I put the idea into practice did I find that my English is far from satisfaction.
As far as I'm concerned,you have a good command of written English,which impresses me a lot. Would you like to do me a favor to have my draft polished？I will pay you a visit at your earliest convenience.
I would appreciate it if you could take my request into consideration.
Yours,
Li Hua
