August 2 is Cai's birthday, and the song was a gift to himself. The singer hopes that he can always have the courage to follow his love of music, ignoring what anyone says. “My works are like my children and I have put my best effort into them. I want every piece of my works to have my own spirit in it. I feel more enjoyable when I am performing my own work.” He told the GlobalTimes.
To find new inspiration, KUN attends different kinds of musical performances from festivals to operas. “I just like to do everything, all for my music, all for my art,” he told i D.

On March 10, 2019, eight year old Tani defeated 73 young competitors to win the New York State Scholastic Chess Championship in his age group — kindergarten to third grade — with five wins and one draw. While the achievement is remarkable in itself, what is even more so is that the youngster, who was homeless at the time, began learning the game less than a year ago.
Tani and his family arrived in New York City from Nigeria in 2017, seeking religious protection. A church pastor (牧师) helped find the family of four space in a homeless shelter in Manhattan and, soon after, Tani entered the local elementary school. It was here that the young talent was first introduced to the basics of chess by a part time teacher. Attracted by the game, then the seven year old begged his mother, Oluwatoyin, to allow him to join the school's chess club. The family were concerned that they would be unable to afford the fees and expenses, which add up to thousands of dollars due to travel and chess competition admissions. Oluwatoyin emailed chess instructor Russell, who ran the club. To her surprise and delight, Russell agreed to__waive__all__costs__for__young__Tani. The rest, as they say, is history. The young boy, who has got seven prizes in less than a year, currently ranks 27 in America in his age group.
Though the chess club certainly helps, Tani's success can be largely owed to the efforts he has put into the game. The chess talent practices the game for several hours a day either on the floor with his board, or online, using his dad's laptop. Every Saturday, Tani and his mother head to Harlem for a free 3 hour class to help further sharpen his game skills.
Not surprisingly, Tani's incredible story, first reported by TheNewYorkTimes, has resulted in an outpouring of support from the American public. Shortly after the young boy won the New York State Championship, Russell began a GoFundMe campaign for Tani and his family to “secure a home where he can continue with his journey”.
And the heartwarming story gets even better! Since they now have a home, the family have decided to “pay it forward” and donate the over $200,000 collected on GoFundMe to African immigrants in America who are struggling the way the family was.
24.What made Tani's achievement especially remarkable
A.His young age. B.His quick learning.
C.Support from his family. D.Help from his teacher.
25.What does the underlined part “to waive all costs or young Tani” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.To pay for Tani's schooling.
B.To raise money for Tani's family.
C.To teach Tani free of charge.
D.To spend more on Tani's training.
26.What's Paragraph 3 mainly about
A.Success of Tani.
B.Activities of the chess club.
C.Tani's devotion to the game.
D.Public reaction to Tani's story.
27.What does the last paragraph tell us about the family
A.They are caring. B.They live in poverty.
C.They are honest. D.They are pitiful.
C
Kind hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were not very valued because “everyone's a winner”. And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation”.
Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mindsets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here's how they work.
A fixed mindset is supported by the belief that talent (才能) is genetic - you're a born artist or mathematician. The fixed mindset believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame (羞耻). When things get difficult, it's quick to blame others, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.
On the other hand, a growth mindset believes that no talent is entirely born and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn't the most important thing, the growth mindset sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, they are quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, they enjoy this experience.
We are all born with growth mindsets. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to live in the world. But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mindsets by encouraging certain actions and misdirected praise. Dweck's book, Mindset: TheNewPsychologyofSuccess, and the online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.
28.What does the author think about the generation born between 1980 and 2001
A.They don't do well at school.
B.They are often misunderstood.
C.They are eager to win in sports.
D.They are given too much praise.
29.A fixed mindset person is probably the one who ______.
A.doesn't want to work hard
B.cares a lot about personal safety
C.cannot share his ideas with others
D.can succeed with the help of teachers
30.What does the growth mindset believe
A.Admitting failure is shameful.
B.Talent comes with one's birth.
C.Scores should be highly valued.
D.Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.
31.What should parents do for their children based on Dweck's study
A.Encourage them to learn from failure.
B.Prevent them from making mistakes.
C.Guide them through the difficulty.
D.Help them grow with praise.
D
Chinese A level has overtaken (超过) German for the first time, as it becomes the UK's third most popular language.
This year 3,334 students take Chinese A level, compared to 3,058 taking German. While entries (参加总人数) for Chinese have increased by 8. 6 percent since last year, German entries have reduced by 16.5 percent. French remains the most popular modern language followed by Spanish, but both have seen a fall in entries compared to last year by eight and four percent respectively.
Barnaby Lenon, chair of the Independent Schools Council (ISC), said that although pupils used to be told “It will really help your career if you learn German”, this is no longer the case.
“In the 1960s, 70s and even the 80s, pupils were strongly encouraged to study German because of the importance of the German economy. Although it is still strong, that argument has faded, and China has appeared in the last 25 years as the fastest growing economy in the world.”
Mr Lenon, former headmaster of Harrow School, said the rise in Chinese A level entries is partly driven by private schools, many of which have invested in the subject in recent years. “It is not the case that a large number of state schools are now teaching Chinese A level. They are not,” he said. Many of the entries will be Chinese native speakers and he added that independent schools have attracted “large numbers” of Chinese pupils in recent years.
Mark Herbert, director of schools and skills at the British Council, welcomed the rise in Chinese A level entries. He said, “Our research shows that Mandarin will be one of the most important languages for the UK's future and global standing — but we mustn't neglect Spanish, French and German which will still be vital for post Brexit (脱欧).”
Nick Gibb, the schools minister, said, “An outward looking global nation needs a new generation of young people comfortable with the language and culture of our overseas trading partners.”
32.Which language has the largest number of A level entries in the UK this year
A.Chinese. B.German. C.French. D.Spanish.
33.According to the passage, why were the students in the UK encouraged to learn German from the 1960s to 1980s
A.Because UK and Germany are both European countries.
B.Because UK and Germany had a long history of exchange.
C.Because Germany's economy was in good condition.
D.Because students could study in Germany.
34.In Mr Lenon's view, what has contributed to the increase in Chinese A level entries in the UK
A.Independent schools and private schools.
B.The Chinese culture.
C.State schools.
D.The fastest growing economy in China.
35.What can we learn from Mark Herbert's words in Paragraph 6
A.He is against learning Chinese.
B.Spanish, French and German are the most important to learn.
C.It's difficult to learn Chinese well.
D.Britain should attach importance to different foreign languages.

Jenny was a pretty five year old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at a grocery store, Jenny saw a pretty plastic pearl necklace (珍珠项链). “Oh please, Mommy. Can I have it Please!” Quickly the mother checked its price. “It costs a dollar and ninety five cents. That's almost $2. If you really want it, I'll think about some extra housework for you to earn more money. Besides, your birthday is only a week later and you might get another dollar bill from your grandma.”
Jenny worked very hard, and sure enough, her grandma gave her a brand new dollar bill on her birthday. Soon Jenny had enough money to buy the necklace. Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up. She wore them everywhere — Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed.
Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to tell her a story. One night when he finished the story, he asked Jenny, “Do you love me?”
“Oh yes, Daddy. You know I love you.”
“Then give me your pearls.”
“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess — the white horse from my collection. She's my favorite.”
“That's okay, Honey. Daddy loves you. Good night.” And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.
About a week later, after the story time, Jenny's daddy asked again, “Do you love me?”
“Of course, Daddy.”
“Then give me your pearls.”
“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my new doll. She is so beautiful.”
“That's okay. Sleep well, little one. Daddy loves you.” And as usual, he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss.
A few nights later, when the daddy came in, he noticed her hands were closed and trembling (颤抖) and one silent tear was rolling down her cheek. “What is it, Jenny What's the matter?”

参考范文:
“Here, Daddy. It'sforyou.” Jenny lifted her little hands up to her daddy. Although feeling a bit confused, the loving daddy waited patiently to see what his little girl intended to do. Slowly, Jenny opened her hands. There was her pearl necklace. With a tremble in her voice, Jenny said, “Well, the necklace is really my favorite, but I guess I love you more.”
Jenny'skinddaddyreachedouthishandandtookthepearlnecklace. He held it with extreme caution as if it had been the most valuable treasure in the world rather than something cheap bought in the grocery store. After admiring it for a while, Jenny's daddy carefully laid the necklace back into Jenny's hands and gave her a gentle kiss. Seeing the surprised look on Jenny's face, he explained gently, “Honey, I ask for your necklace just to see if you are willing to give it up for me. And I'm really touched by your sweet offer. I'm really proud of you. Daddy loves you!”
