Zong Qinghou, a soft drinks giant from Hangzhou Zhejiang province, died of an illness at the age of 79. There has been much mourning at his passing on Feb.25, 2024 as he was well-known as the founder of a company, headquartered in his hometown in the late 1980s, which later developed into the Wahaha Group, a major soft drinks company.
He is known to the public for three things —his rags-to-riches rise, his long-term frugal （节俭的）lifestyle, and his devotion to promoting China's national industries. Forbes ranked him, with a wealth of about $5.9 billion, No.53 among Chinese billionaires last year.
Yet besides, it is also worthwhile to think over the question about whether his success in business can be imitated today and what lessons policymakers can learn from his self-made business success as they try to enrich the soil for setting up business.
Before winning a contract（合同） to work as a salesperson of a small school-run factory selling writing materials, iced treats and soft drinks in Hangzhou in 1987, Zong worked as a traveling salesman for nearly a decade after working for 15 years on various posts in local farming communities with Grade-9 education.
His sharp business sense, which he owed to poverty instead of the genes（基因） of the Zhejiang business community, enabled him to recognize business opportunities at a time when the country had just carried out the change from a planned economy to a socialist market one.
The broad space he enjoyed as a sales representative of the factory enabled him to continuously sharpe n his sales strategies and enlarge his network of business partners. That not only helped him gather the start-up funds he later used to contract the whole factory, but also influenced his later management style, which he summed up as always trying to make things simpler.
As he told the media, it is the spirit of adventure of his generation and their down-to-earth work style that deserve attention, not his lifestyle, which was a personal choice.
24. Which aspect of Zong Qinghou does Paragraph 2 focus on
A. His habits. B. His interest. C. His lifestyle. D. His achievements.
25. Why is Zong Qinghou's early experience mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To tell how he won contracts. B. To tell how different his life was.
C. To show the ways to run a business. D. To show its influence on his business.
26. What made Zong Qinghou find the chance to start his business
A. His sharp sense in business. B. His broad space and freedom.
C. His long-term simple lifestyle. D. His business community's genes.
27. Which of the following best describes Zong Qinghou
A. Modest. B. Determined. C. Knowledgeable. D. Humorous.
C
Two and a half months before the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season officially begins, and almost six months before it enters its peak（高峰）, weathermen are already predicting( 预测） that it could be particularly active.
Officially, hurricane season begins from June 1 and runs through November. One reason is that sea surface temperatures in the tropical（热带的） Atlantic are already at record highs.
Meanwhile, another significant potential factor in this year's hurricane season is taking shape thousands of miles away in the Pacific. Over periods ranging from three to seven years, the waters of the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean warm and cool in turn as a result of a repeating climate pattern called the El Ni o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). El Ni o makes Atlantic hurricanes less likely to form but La Nina does.
During the 2023 season, ENSO was in an El Nino period. However, by the time the 2024 season starts, it will have changed into a "neutral（中立）" period, but that by the peak months, it is likely to have changed fully into a La Ni a.
"How quickly that change occurs can affect everything as well," says DaSilva, a lead hurricane weatherman. "There's a lag time . So, while we expect the change to occur in mid-summer, it may not be until late summer or fall where we really see those effects across the Atlantic basin." As a result, he says, this year's hurricane season could remain particularly active deep into November.
Of course, no report can predict when individual storms will come or the paths they will take, but DaSilva warns that those who live in areas likely to suffer hurricanes, especially around the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, should prepare. "If a tropical storm system comes into this area, it could rapidly strengthen, potentially close to land," he also warns. "And that's why people need to be careful and have their hurricane plans ready. Because any system with these kinds of conditions can explode very quickly. That's what we're concerned about."
28. What is the function of Paragraph 1
A. To give advice. B. To explain the season.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To inform a weather report.
29. What is a reason for this year's hurricane season
A. The hurricane season has entered its peak.
B. A repeating climate has changed weather in summer.
C. The sea surface temperatures are the highest of all time.
D. El Ni o makes Atlantic hurricanes more likely to form.
30. What do the underlined words "a lag time" in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. A time delay. B. A time in a zone.
C. A time waste. D. A time in advance.
31. What does DaSilva agree with about this year's hurricane season
A. It can be exactly predicted ahead of time.
B. People needn't worry about hurricane season.
C. It may be eventually controlled by weathermen.
D. People can't be too careful about hurricane season.
D
Inspired by the medical bay of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek（星际迷航）, a research team from the University of Waterloo uses radar technology to monitor people's health while at the wheel, turning an ordinary car or truck into a mobile medical center.
Dr. George Shaker, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, is working with a team of graduate students to combine radar with evolving vehicle technology to make health checks easier. The idea is to use the time people spend in their cars to gather data on their health for accurate analysis and preventative treatment —without the need for any type of wearable.
The radar, smaller than a USB thumb drive, is placed into the vehicle cabin and sends out signals that detect human vibrations（颤动）, which are then sent back to the radar. The built-in Al system collects and analyzes the data to build a medical picture and identify any potential conditions. At the end of the driver's journey, the system sends the report directly to their cell phone for review.
For Shaker and his team, the challenge was evolving the tech to identify changes in breathing patterns or heart rhythms that signify potential health issues related to cardiovascular conditions（心血管系统） as well as respiratory system（呼吸系统） conditions.
"We focus on enhancing data collection for exact information related to people's respiratory and cardiovascular systems and teaching the AI how to make medical interpretations from this data. Another important consideration is personal privacy and security---no data is stored on the cloud; it is sent to the monitored person's cellphone only." said Ali Ghara, the lead Ph. D. student on the project.
The research team is building on this work to expand the radar technology's capabilities to monitor all vehicle occupants' overall health and well-being, run diagnostics and generate quality medical reports that flag any issues that need attention, as well as assist with emergency communication in the event of an accident.
32. What can we learn about the radar technology
A. It provides more precise health data than wearables.
B. It creates medical pictures to reveal healthy secrets.
C. It sends the health report to the driver's phone for review.
D. It combines with vehicle technology to assess the driver's health.
33. What can be inferred from Ali Ghara's words in paragraph 5
A. The AI needs training to collect health data.
B. Al's interpretation of medical data is accurate.
C. Cellphones monitor personal privacy and security.
D. The team is improving data collection and analysis.
34. What does the follow-up study aim to do
A. Ensure the privacy of medical reports. B. Warn the drivers of potential accidents.
C. Enhance health monitoring for all passengers. D. Apply the radar technology across vehicles.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Ph. D. Students Build USS Enterprise on Wheels
B. Drivers Beware: Radar Spying on Your Heartbeats
C. Healthy Driving: Radar Monitors Health in Vehicles
D. Radars May Know Your Conditions Before You Do

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Gaining real-world work experience through volunteering is a great way for students to build skills, increase employability and enjoy a range of other benefits.
Become a leader
Regular volunteers, regardless of their age, are often trusted with important roles, giving students a chance to develop their confidence and communication skills, while being treated like a valued member of a team. 36 However, a trusting and supportive manager will encourage students to speak up when they think something could be improved.
Students volunteering stand out from the crowd
Students volunteering gain valuable experience that they can add to their CV（简历）. Employers will look very favorably on students' volunteer work experience. Volunteering gives students the opportunity to put what they learn in the classroom into practice. 37 They'll be one step ahead when it comes to entering the workplace, already equipped with some of the key skills needed for the role.
Improve mental and physical health
Perhaps the biggest benefit that students can gain from volunteering is the positive boost to mental and physical health. A recent study found that 77% of volunteers benefited from improved mental health after volunteering. 38 And it makes sense, with many volunteer roles involving physical activities such as walking, manning drink stations at sporting events, playing with children at camps and more.
Work in a team
39 It's a great way to gain experience working in a team. Many workplaces are shifting toward cross-function al collaborative teams, so being able to give concrete examples of working in a team to future employers will be a big plus.
Students volunteering can test out a career
Often students choose to study a degree without really knowing what the career involves. Perhaps it's what their parents do, or they think it sounds interesting, or it was simply a subject they were good at during school. But without gaining real-world experience in the career, it might end up being a big waste of time and money. 40
A. Volunteering is cooperative in nature.
B. Taking the initiative（采取主动） is a hard skill to train.
C. This is especially useful in highly practical fields.
D. Volunteering is a course to show your compassion.
E. And over half improved their physical health too.
F. Volunteering can help determine whether it is suitable.
G. This is vital for everyone to take advantage of in reality.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One particularly cold Saturday in January, I was supposed to take our dog out for a walk, but it was so cold that I didn't want to go outside. Instead, I just opened the door and let the dog out by himself. I kept an eye on him to make sure he would come back inside.
However, another neighborhood dog quickly ran past our house, and our dog sped after to catch him. I hurriedly went to grab my coat so I could follow my dog, and then I rushed outside. Unfortunately, I was already too late, and my dog was nowhere in sight. I walked a few blocks, but I was unable to find him.
Depressed, I returned home. My mother was standing at the door waiting, and she asked me what had happened. "I know I was supposed to walk our dog," I admitted, "but I thought he would be able to go outside and come back by himself. Now he's gone and I can't find him anywhere."
My mother was very angry with me; she said I should have been more responsible. She decided to help by making some signs. The signs read, "Lost: A big black dog. Please call us right away" and she printed our phone number on the bottom. "Okay, Darrell," she said, as she handed over those signs, "now go post these on all the street posts."
My sister and I grabbed the signs and we posted them along our street as well as along the surrounding streets. The whole time, I was incredibly sad and worried about our dog. All I could think about was how cold it was and how cold our dog must be. My sister wanted to go home, so I told her I'd walk her home, but then keep looking for the dog myself.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右：
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I took my sister home and continued my search alone.

Dear Alice,
I am worried to know that you should be so addicted to TikTok these days. Playing with TikTok too much is bad for your health. Besides, if you spend so much time on it, I'm afraid you will fall behind your classmates sooner or later.
In my opinion, you should find something interesting to do if you want to relax. For example, take a walk on the playground with your friends. Alternatively, you can chat with your classmates, which will cheer you up. It doesn't mean that Tik Tok should be completely refused in our life, but playing too much will surely affect our study.
I know you have a strong will and you are clever. I believe you can get rid of this bad habit quite soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
I took my sister home and continued my search alone. Carrying the signs made by my mother, I kept posting them. In the meantime, whenever there were people passing by, I would ask if they had met such a dog. I even knocked from door to door, asking if they had seen it. No luck. Nobody claimed to have spotted our dog. What if I had taken the dog out for a walk Tears of regret welled up in my eyes. As the darkness fell, I decided to come back home to check if anybody had called.
When I returned sadly, my mother was waiting for me, smiling broadly. There, behind my mother, was our lovely dog looking up at me eagerly. Upon seeing me, it raced towards me. I couldn't hold my tears. "It just came back by itself," my mother said gently. Hugging the dog with relief, I apologized to my mother sincerely." I am sure you have learned your lesson today," my mother replied in a comforting voice. I played with my sister and the dog again. Despite the freezing weather outside, my heart warmed up. It was on the day that I learned the value of responsibility.

W: Miriam and Alex have asked me to make their wedding cake.(13)(14)I said yes, but I feel really nervous about it. (14)
M: Wow, that's great. They must have really liked that chocolate cake you made for Miriam's birthday.
W: Yes, but that was so easy compared with this!
M:I understand you are feeling worried.(14) Just remember that a wedding cake is just like a really big birthday cake.
W: Ha-ha… I don't think so, but I guess that's a good way to think about it.
M: OK, how about just thinking about it as three birthday cakes on top of each other
W: You're making me laugh now.(15) I guess that's better than feeling nervous!
M: Exactly! It's just like making soup. It doesn't matter what it looks like; it's the taste that matters.
W: Actually, I'm pretty sure a wedding cake is the exact opposite of that! But thanks for cheering me up!(15)

Hello everyone, I want to share a story. My friend's daughter Vivi is small for her age. She is 11, (17) but she only wears clothes for a 6-year-old kid. Last summer, she cried at the amusement park because she was too small to go on roller coasters（过山车） or other rides. (18) Other children laughed at her because she is tiny compared with her friends. But you know what She is especially good at swimming, and she moves through the water "like a fish". In fact, Vivi is such a good swimmer that she has been chosen for the local team and will take part in national competitions. Vivi is proud of her strength. (19) She knows that being small doesn't matter. Vivi says, "In the water, I am the same size as everyone else." The message is that everyone, whatever their size, shape or skills, has something great to offer. So children, go back to your classrooms and enjoy discovering what makes you special! (20)

Zong Qinghou, a soft drinks giant from Hangzhou Zhejiang province, died of an illness at the age of 79. There has been much mourning at his passing on Feb.25, 2024 as he was well-known as the founder of a company, headquartered in his hometown in the late 1980s, which later developed into the Wahaha Group, a major soft drinks company.
He is known to the public for three things —his rags-to-riches rise, his long-term frugal （节俭的）lifestyle, and his devotion to promoting China's national industries. Forbes ranked him, with a wealth of about $5.9 billion, No.53 among Chinese billionaires last year.
Yet besides, it is also worthwhile to think over the question about whether his success in business can be imitated today and what lessons policymakers can learn from his self-made business success as they try to enrich the soil for setting up business.
Before winning a contract（合同） to work as a salesperson of a small school-run factory selling writing materials, iced treats and soft drinks in Hangzhou in 1987, Zong worked as a traveling salesman for nearly a decade after working for 15 years on various posts in local farming communities with Grade-9 education.
His sharp business sense, which he owed to poverty instead of the genes（基因） of the Zhejiang business community, enabled him to recognize business opportunities at a time when the country had just carried out the change from a planned economy to a socialist market one.
The broad space he enjoyed as a sales representative of the factory enabled him to continuously sharpe n his sales strategies and enlarge his network of business partners. That not only helped him gather the start-up funds he later used to contract the whole factory, but also influenced his later management style, which he summed up as always trying to make things simpler.
As he told the media, it is the spirit of adventure of his generation and their down-to-earth work style that deserve attention, not his lifestyle, which was a personal choice.
24. Which aspect of Zong Qinghou does Paragraph 2 focus on
A. His habits. B. His interest. C. His lifestyle. D. His achievements.
25. Why is Zong Qinghou's early experience mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To tell how he won contracts. B. To tell how different his life was.
C. To show the ways to run a business. D. To show its influence on his business.
26. What made Zong Qinghou find the chance to start his business
A. His sharp sense in business. B. His broad space and freedom.
C. His long-term simple lifestyle. D. His business community's genes.
27. Which of the following best describes Zong Qinghou
A. Modest. B. Determined. C. Knowledgeable. D. Humorous.
C
Two and a half months before the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season officially begins, and almost six months before it enters its peak（高峰）, weathermen are already predicting( 预测） that it could be particularly active.
Officially, hurricane season begins from June 1 and runs through November. One reason is that sea surface temperatures in the tropical（热带的） Atlantic are already at record highs.
Meanwhile, another significant potential factor in this year's hurricane season is taking shape thousands of miles away in the Pacific. Over periods ranging from three to seven years, the waters of the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean warm and cool in turn as a result of a repeating climate pattern called the El Ni o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). El Ni o makes Atlantic hurricanes less likely to form but La Nina does.
During the 2023 season, ENSO was in an El Nino period. However, by the time the 2024 season starts, it will have changed into a "neutral（中立）" period, but that by the peak months, it is likely to have changed fully into a La Ni a.
"How quickly that change occurs can affect everything as well," says DaSilva, a lead hurricane weatherman. "There's a lag time . So, while we expect the change to occur in mid-summer, it may not be until late summer or fall where we really see those effects across the Atlantic basin." As a result, he says, this year's hurricane season could remain particularly active deep into November.
Of course, no report can predict when individual storms will come or the paths they will take, but DaSilva warns that those who live in areas likely to suffer hurricanes, especially around the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, should prepare. "If a tropical storm system comes into this area, it could rapidly strengthen, potentially close to land," he also warns. "And that's why people need to be careful and have their hurricane plans ready. Because any system with these kinds of conditions can explode very quickly. That's what we're concerned about."
28. What is the function of Paragraph 1
A. To give advice. B. To explain the season.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To inform a weather report.
29. What is a reason for this year's hurricane season
A. The hurricane season has entered its peak.
B. A repeating climate has changed weather in summer.
C. The sea surface temperatures are the highest of all time.
D. El Ni o makes Atlantic hurricanes more likely to form.
30. What do the underlined words "a lag time" in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. A time delay. B. A time in a zone.
C. A time waste. D. A time in advance.
31. What does DaSilva agree with about this year's hurricane season
A. It can be exactly predicted ahead of time.
B. People needn't worry about hurricane season.
C. It may be eventually controlled by weathermen.
D. People can't be too careful about hurricane season.
D
Inspired by the medical bay of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek（星际迷航）, a research team from the University of Waterloo uses radar technology to monitor people's health while at the wheel, turning an ordinary car or truck into a mobile medical center.
Dr. George Shaker, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, is working with a team of graduate students to combine radar with evolving vehicle technology to make health checks easier. The idea is to use the time people spend in their cars to gather data on their health for accurate analysis and preventative treatment —without the need for any type of wearable.
The radar, smaller than a USB thumb drive, is placed into the vehicle cabin and sends out signals that detect human vibrations（颤动）, which are then sent back to the radar. The built-in Al system collects and analyzes the data to build a medical picture and identify any potential conditions. At the end of the driver's journey, the system sends the report directly to their cell phone for review.
For Shaker and his team, the challenge was evolving the tech to identify changes in breathing patterns or heart rhythms that signify potential health issues related to cardiovascular conditions（心血管系统） as well as respiratory system（呼吸系统） conditions.
"We focus on enhancing data collection for exact information related to people's respiratory and cardiovascular systems and teaching the AI how to make medical interpretations from this data. Another important consideration is personal privacy and security---no data is stored on the cloud; it is sent to the monitored person's cellphone only." said Ali Ghara, the lead Ph. D. student on the project.
The research team is building on this work to expand the radar technology's capabilities to monitor all vehicle occupants' overall health and well-being, run diagnostics and generate quality medical reports that flag any issues that need attention, as well as assist with emergency communication in the event of an accident.
32. What can we learn about the radar technology
A. It provides more precise health data than wearables.
B. It creates medical pictures to reveal healthy secrets.
C. It sends the health report to the driver's phone for review.
D. It combines with vehicle technology to assess the driver's health.
33. What can be inferred from Ali Ghara's words in paragraph 5
A. The AI needs training to collect health data.
B. Al's interpretation of medical data is accurate.
C. Cellphones monitor personal privacy and security.
D. The team is improving data collection and analysis.
34. What does the follow-up study aim to do
A. Ensure the privacy of medical reports. B. Warn the drivers of potential accidents.
C. Enhance health monitoring for all passengers. D. Apply the radar technology across vehicles.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Ph. D. Students Build USS Enterprise on Wheels
B. Drivers Beware: Radar Spying on Your Heartbeats
C. Healthy Driving: Radar Monitors Health in Vehicles
D. Radars May Know Your Conditions Before You Do

Gaining real-world work experience through volunteering is a great way for students to build skills, increase employability and enjoy a range of other benefits.
Become a leader
Regular volunteers, regardless of their age, are often trusted with important roles, giving students a chance to develop their confidence and communication skills, while being treated like a valued member of a team. 36 However, a trusting and supportive manager will encourage students to speak up when they think something could be improved.
Students volunteering stand out from the crowd
Students volunteering gain valuable experience that they can add to their CV（简历）. Employers will look very favorably on students' volunteer work experience. Volunteering gives students the opportunity to put what they learn in the classroom into practice. 37 They'll be one step ahead when it comes to entering the workplace, already equipped with some of the key skills needed for the role.
Improve mental and physical health
Perhaps the biggest benefit that students can gain from volunteering is the positive boost to mental and physical health. A recent study found that 77% of volunteers benefited from improved mental health after volunteering. 38 And it makes sense, with many volunteer roles involving physical activities such as walking, manning drink stations at sporting events, playing with children at camps and more.
Work in a team
39 It's a great way to gain experience working in a team. Many workplaces are shifting toward cross-function al collaborative teams, so being able to give concrete examples of working in a team to future employers will be a big plus.
Students volunteering can test out a career
Often students choose to study a degree without really knowing what the career involves. Perhaps it's what their parents do, or they think it sounds interesting, or it was simply a subject they were good at during school. But without gaining real-world experience in the career, it might end up being a big waste of time and money. 40
A. Volunteering is cooperative in nature.
B. Taking the initiative（采取主动） is a hard skill to train.
C. This is especially useful in highly practical fields.
D. Volunteering is a course to show your compassion.
E. And over half improved their physical health too.
F. Volunteering can help determine whether it is suitable.
G. This is vital for everyone to take advantage of in reality.

One particularly cold Saturday in January, I was supposed to take our dog out for a walk, but it was so cold that I didn't want to go outside. Instead, I just opened the door and let the dog out by himself. I kept an eye on him to make sure he would come back inside.
However, another neighborhood dog quickly ran past our house, and our dog sped after to catch him. I hurriedly went to grab my coat so I could follow my dog, and then I rushed outside. Unfortunately, I was already too late, and my dog was nowhere in sight. I walked a few blocks, but I was unable to find him.
Depressed, I returned home. My mother was standing at the door waiting, and she asked me what had happened. "I know I was supposed to walk our dog," I admitted, "but I thought he would be able to go outside and come back by himself. Now he's gone and I can't find him anywhere."
My mother was very angry with me; she said I should have been more responsible. She decided to help by making some signs. The signs read, "Lost: A big black dog. Please call us right away" and she printed our phone number on the bottom. "Okay, Darrell," she said, as she handed over those signs, "now go post these on all the street posts."
My sister and I grabbed the signs and we posted them along our street as well as along the surrounding streets. The whole time, I was incredibly sad and worried about our dog. All I could think about was how cold it was and how cold our dog must be. My sister wanted to go home, so I told her I'd walk her home, but then keep looking for the dog myself.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右：
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I took my sister home and continued my search alone.

Dear Alice,
I am worried to know that you should be so addicted to TikTok these days. Playing with TikTok too much is bad for your health. Besides, if you spend so much time on it, I'm afraid you will fall behind your classmates sooner or later.
In my opinion, you should find something interesting to do if you want to relax. For example, take a walk on the playground with your friends. Alternatively, you can chat with your classmates, which will cheer you up. It doesn't mean that Tik Tok should be completely refused in our life, but playing too much will surely affect our study.
I know you have a strong will and you are clever. I believe you can get rid of this bad habit quite soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
I took my sister home and continued my search alone. Carrying the signs made by my mother, I kept posting them. In the meantime, whenever there were people passing by, I would ask if they had met such a dog. I even knocked from door to door, asking if they had seen it. No luck. Nobody claimed to have spotted our dog. What if I had taken the dog out for a walk Tears of regret welled up in my eyes. As the darkness fell, I decided to come back home to check if anybody had called.
When I returned sadly, my mother was waiting for me, smiling broadly. There, behind my mother, was our lovely dog looking up at me eagerly. Upon seeing me, it raced towards me. I couldn't hold my tears. "It just came back by itself," my mother said gently. Hugging the dog with relief, I apologized to my mother sincerely." I am sure you have learned your lesson today," my mother replied in a comforting voice. I played with my sister and the dog again. Despite the freezing weather outside, my heart warmed up. It was on the day that I learned the value of responsibility.

M: What is the most important thing when you choose a new mobile phone (10) Is it how cool it looks, or how well it works
W: For me, how a phone works is the most important.(10) Having a great camera is one of the things I would look out for, because I love taking photos.(11) I think phone s look so similar these days, so I'm not really interested in being cool.
M: Ha-ha! I think I should learn from that. What else though What makes you choose one phone over another

W: Ha-ha… I don't think so, but I guess that's a good way to think about it.
M: OK, how about just thinking about it as three birthday cakes on top of each other
W: You're making me laugh now.(15) I guess that's better than feeling nervous!
M: Exactly! It's just like making soup. It doesn't matter what it looks like; it's the taste that matters.

Hello everyone, I want to share a story. My friend's daughter Vivi is small for her age. She is 11, (17) but she only wears clothes for a 6-year-old kid. Last summer, she cried at the amusement park because she was too small to go on roller coasters（过山车） or other rides. (18) Other children laughed at her because she is tiny compared with her friends. But you know what She is especially good at swimming, and she moves through the water "like a fish". In fact, Vivi is such a good swimmer that she has been chosen for the local team and will take part in national competitions. Vivi is proud of her strength. (19) She knows that being small doesn't matter. Vivi says, "In the water, I am the same size as everyone else." The message is that everyone, whatever their size, shape or skills, has something great to offer. So children, go back to your classrooms and enjoy discovering what makes you special! (20)
