What are pillows really stuffed with Not physically, but symbolically The question occurred to me with the photos of the international pillow fight in the news and social media from the 50 cities around the world.
Armed with nothing more than bring-our-own pillows, strangers struck heavily each other from Amsterdam to Atlanta, Warsaw to Washington DC. But why Is there anything more to this delightful celebration
Actually, since at least the 16th century, the soft pillow has been given symbolic meanings. The Chinese playwright, Tang Xianzu, told a famous story in his work, Handan Notes. It was about a wise man who met a depressed young scholar at an inn and offered him a magic pillow. The scholar had a sweet afternoon nap on this pillow, dreaming that he had a more fulfilling life. When the young man awakened to discover that all was just a dream. The magic pillow’s power shifts from wonder to terror. What’s more, the 19th-century English novelist, Charlotte Bronte, poetically observed “a ruffled mind makes a restless pillow”. Perhaps Bronte learned this from the philosopher, Montaigne, who once insisted that “lack of thoughts in mind is the softest pillow on which a man can have a good rest”. On Montaigne’s thinking, intelligence and happiness compete against each other forever in a pillow fight that only one can win.
With the above information, we can perhaps more easily measure the attraction of the global pillow fight. Just like a ceremony of release, the annual international pillow fight amounts to a kind of cleansing, a brushing off of daily worries: an emptying of the world’s restless mind.
24. How did the writer lead into the topic of the passage
A. By giving reasons. B. By telling stories.
C. By using sayings. D. By raising questions.
25. Why the work and words of the three writers were listed in the second paragraph
A. To state how pillows help people take a good rest.
B. To explain why pillows connect with people’s minds.
C. To claim that pillows can symbolically convey the meaning.
D. To describe that pillows always symbolize the good dreams.
26. What do the underlined words “a ruffled mind” probably mean in the passage
A. A mind without any thoughts. B. A mind with messy thoughts.
C. A mind that is peaceful. D. A mind that is simple.
27. What can be inferred about the international pillow fight from the last paragraph
A. It mainly celebrates daily worries.
B. It contains a profound meaning of history.
C. People will feel relieved during the fight.
D. People will lose their inner peace during the fight.
C
After skating, skiing or shoveling snow, nothing warms you up better than a cup of hot cocoa though today it will be topped with marshmallows（棉花软糖）, you may not know that chocolate was first consumed in liquid form by the Olmec people of northwestern Central America around 1500 B. C.
However, the Olmec people didn’t serve their coco a hot. And since sugar had not yet arrived from Europe back then, the drink was often flavoured with peppers and spices. After the Spanish arrived in the Americas in the 1500s, liquid chocolate made its way across the pond, where wealthy Europeans added sugar and drank it warm. According to Chocolate: History, Culture and Heritage, hot chocolate became ‘the drink of the aristocracy（贵族）”, as sugar was still a luxury.
Soon enough, though, hot chocolate caught on with the masses. Chocolate houses started springing up around 17th-century Europe. However, by the end of the 18th century, chocolate houses had mostly died off, because the input of chocolate was much dearer than that of coffee or tea.
Marshmallows first came into the picture in 1917, when the company, Angelus Marshmallows, published a recipe for hot cocoa topped with their product. Instant coco a is another American invention, created in the late 1950s when dairy company owner, Charles Sanna, faced an oversupply of powered coffee creamer. His solution was mixing the creamer sugar and coco a powder together, thus creating a Formula（配方）favored by many.
Taking a tour of international cups of cocoa, you can try cioccolata calda, a thick, pudding-like version in Italy. In Colombia and Ecuador, chocolate is served with a teaspoon of soft farmer cheese, and Filipino hot chocolate, sikwate, is served with mango chunks.
However, you choose to jazz up your own cup, the simple pleasure of drinking a warm, chocolaty drink is one that hasn’t gotten old for thousands of years.
28. What was unlikely to happen in the 16th century
A. Glen decorated his hot coco a with marshmallows.
B. Annie used sugar to add flavour to hot chocolate.
C. Nick couldn’t afford to put much sugar in the cocoa.
D. Miss Brown enjoyed drinking hot coco a during breakfast.
29. What made chocolate houses disappear by the end of the 1700s
A. Lack of sugar. B. Public health awareness.
C. High cost of material. D. Popularity of instant cocoa.
30. Which of the following sentences can best describe Charles Sanna’s story
A. A man can do no more he can.
B. Constant dripping wears away á stone.
C. Beauty without virtue is a rose without fragrance.
D. Innovation unlocks the door of success.
31. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Hot Cocoa: An Accidental Invention
B. Hot Cocoa: A Journey To A Cup Of Comfort
C. Hot Cocoa: A Combination Of Global Cultures
D. Hot Cocoa: From The Aristocracy To The Public
D
Pullman is a superb writer and Seagull is a brilliant communicator. They had a debate after Seagull posted a question on his social media platform: “When you were trying to create an environment for learning, what were your best pieces of classical music to listen to ” He received hundreds of suggestions—and one negative reply, from Pullman: “That’s not what classical music is for. Treat it with respect!”
That did it! Professional musicians, students, teachers weighed into the argument, and the majority supported Seagull and were criticizing Pullman.
It’s easy to see why people are annoyed. We all want classical music to be as accessible as possible, especially to the young. If some of them are using Bach or Schubert as a tool to help them study, what’s the problem They may also develop an attachment to classical music.
So is Pullman ridiculous and considerate by objecting to classical music being used as background music At first sight, his idea’ seems stuffy and extreme. By suggesting that classical music should be “treated with respect” and not used as background music, Pullman seems to be closing classical music of to millions of people.
It’s worth pointing out, however, that he isn’t the first to express concerns about classical music being devalued by becoming too commonplace in today’s technologically shaped world. In Benjamin Britten’s 1964 speech, the composer expressed exactly the same worries as Pullman. Britten suggested, “The true musical experience demands some preparation, some effort, a journey to a special place, saving up for a ticket, some homework perhaps”. In short, it demands as much effort from listeners as from composers and performers.
I don’t agree with such an extreme viewpoint, but I do think it touches on a reality. You will never fully grasp the beauty of classical music if you half-hear it only in the background. That doesn’t necessarily matter. Music can be enjoyed on many levels. What Pullman and Britten are really saying is that, in a drive for “accessibility ”, we shouldn’t deny the emotional and intellectual complexity underpinning（构成）much classical music.
32. What did Seagull’s posting result in
A. Great admiration for Seagull.
B. Public criticism of classical music.
C. A discussion about learning environments.
D. An argument between students and professional musicians.
33. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Benjamin Britten’s 1964 speech in Paragraph 5
A. To show his affection for classical music.
B. To introduce young people to classical music.
C. To demonstrate classical music is demanding.
D. To support Pullman’s idea over classical music.
34. How does the author like Pullman’s idea
A. Favorable. B. Supportive.
C. Objective. D. Uninterested.
35. Where can this passage be read
A. In National Geographic. B. In Musicology.
C. In The Economist. D. In Chinese Translators Journal.

How Sociologists Define Culture
Sociologists recognize that culture plays a crucial role in our social lives. It is important for shaping social relationships, maintaining social order, and in shaping our actions and experiences in society. 36
In brief, sociologists define the non-material aspects of culture as the values and beliefs, language and practices that are shared in common. Expanding on these categories, culture is made up of our knowledge, common sense, the norms and morals; the symbols we use to express meaning and ideas. 37 It informs how we carry our bodies and interact with others; how we behave depending on the place, time and “audience”. Culture includes the practices we participate in as well, such as religious ceremonies and the celebration of holidays.
38 This aspect of culture includes a wide variety of things, from buildings, technological gadgets and clothing, to film, music, literature and art, etc. Aspects of material culture are more commonly referred to as cultural products.
Sociologists see the two sides of culture—the material and non-material—as closely connected. Material culture emerges from the non-material aspects. 39 But it is not a one-way relationship between the two sides. Material culture can also influence the non-material aspects. For example, a powerful documentary film might change people’s attitudes and beliefs. 40 What has come before in terms of music, film, television and art influences the values and beliefs of those who interact with them, which then, in turn, influence the creation of additional cultural products.
A. Material culture is composed of the things that humans make and use. B. This is why cultural products tend to follow patterns. C. Without culture, we would not have relationships or society. D. Culture is also what we do and how we behave and perform. E. In other words, what we value and believe influences the things that we make. F. Culture is distinct from social structure and economic aspects of society. G. It is composed of both non-material and material things.

Nish a could not forget the way she froze in front of the class today.
Today was Nisha’s turn to do a presentation. However, her hands shook so violently that she couldn’t read her notes. Her voice became softer even to silence. Mr. Roberts kindly ended Nisha’s presentation even though she did clearly not finish. He also asked Nisha to stay after class for a moment.
“Nisha. I know you’re shy, but you worked hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up on yourself.” Then Mr. Roberts hesitated, “If I give you another chance, do you think you can find your courage ” Nisha nodded, grateful for the chance. After the talk, she always kept her head down in the school and hoped this school day would end soon.
When she arrived at home, her mom was baking in the kitchen. Her mom studied Nisha’s face as she came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Nisha ”
Tears shone in Nisha’s eyes. Nisha told her mom the whole story. Her mom was silent for a moment and asked, “Why is it that you can talk to me about anything, but you can’t talk to your class ” She set the timer（计时器）and then said, “Let me show you something.”
Nish a followed her mom to her bedroom. There her mom showed her a book filled with pictures. In it there was a blue ribbon（丝带）that said “First Place” and a picture of herself when she was very young, standing with her parents.
“I won it for public speaking. I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but lended the year as the blue ribbon winner. It wasn’t easy at first—I was not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.”
