A
The
Four
Famous
Embroideries
(刺绣)
of
China
refer
to
the
Xiang
embroidery
in
Hunan
Province,
Shu
embroidery
in
Sichuan
Province,
Yue
embroidery
in
Guangdong
Province
and
Su
embroidery
in
Jiangsu
Province.
Xiang
embroidery
The
earliest
piece
of
Xiang
embroidery
was
unearthed
at
the
No.
1
Tomb
of
Mawangdui,
Changsha
City
of
the
Han
Dynasty
(206
B.C.---A.D.
220).
The
weaving
technique
was
almost
the
same
as
the
one
used
in
modern
times,
which
shows
that
embroidery
had
already
existed
in
the
Han
Dynasty.
In
its
later
development,
it
absorbs
the
characteristics
of
traditional
Chinese
paintings
and
reaches
a
high
artistic
level.
Xiang
embroidery
crafts
include
valuable
works
of
art,
as
well
as
products
for
daily
use.
Shu
embroidery
Shu
embroidery
has
formed
its
own
unique
characteristics:
smooth,
bright,
neat,
etc.
The
works
choose
flowers,
animals,
mountains,
rivers
and
human
figures
as
their
themes.
The
craftsmanship
of
Shu
embroidery
involves
a
combination
of
fine
art
and
practical
uses,
such
as
the
facings
of
quilts,
pillowcases,
coats
and
screen
covers.
Yue
embroidery
Influenced
by
national
folk
art,
Yue
embroidered
pictures
are
mainly
of
dragons
and
phoenixes
(凤凰),
and
flowers
and
birds,
with
neat
designs
and
strong,
contrasting
colors.
Gold-and-silk
thread
embroidery
is
widely
used,
even
for
crafts
of
daily
use.
Su
embroidery
The
weaving
techniques
of
Su
embroidery
are
characterized
by
the
flat
surface,
dense
lines,
even
pictures
and
harmonious
colors.
Su
embroidery
products
fall
into
3
major
categories:
costumes,
decorations
for
halls
and
crafts
for
daily
use.
Double-sided
embroidery
is
an
excellent
representative
of
Su
embroidery.

B
He
ran
between
two
defenders,
past
a
third,
and
a
couple
of
seconds
later
his
team
had
two
more
points.
At
the
end
of
his
final
game,
on
April
11,
he
had
scored
30
points.
This
was
the
end
of
a
career
for
Dwyane
Wade,
nicknamed
“Flash”.
It
was
the
37-year-old’s
last
game
for
the
Miami
Heat
and
his
last
appearance
on
an
NBA
basketball
court.
Over
his
storied
career,
Wade
played
in
1,054
regular-season
games
and
177
post-season
games,
scored
more
than
23,000
points,
appeared
in
three
NBA
championships
and
earned
one
Finals
Most
Valuable
Player
(MVP)
award.
Coming
from
Chicago,
Wade’s
attitude
and
style
of
play
moved
many
people,
including
former
US
President
Barack
Obama.
“Whenever
you
got
knocked
down,
you
always
showed
us
how
to
get
back
up,”
Obama
said
in
a
tribute
video.
“You
showed
some
Chicago
spirit...
and
you
did
us
proud.”
Wade
broke
down
the
door
to
the
NBA
in
2003
with
his
outstanding
ball-handling
skills
and
jumping
ability.
He
had
a
strong
principle,
taking
practice
as
seriously
as
he
took
games.
He
trained
in
the
gym
by
himself
during
the
off-season
and
exercised
hard
to
stay
in
shape.
Wade
has
also
spoken
out
on
social
issues.
In
2012,
17-year-old
Heat
fan
Trayvon
Martin,
an
African-American,
was
shot
in
a
racist
attack
on
his
way
home
from
watching
the
NBA
All-Star
Game.
Wade,
together
with
LeBron
James,
led
the
Miami
Heat
squad,
pulling
up
their
hoodies
(连帽衫)
in
support
of
justice
for
Martin,
who
had
his
hoodie
up
when
he
was
killed.
Wade
hoped
this
action
would
bring
attention
to
racist
violence.
In
2003,
he
founded
the
Wade’s
World
Foundation,
which
provides
support
to
various
education,
health,
and
family
service
programs.
“Obviously,
I’m
one
person.
I
can’t
change
the
world,
but
I
can
help
affect
change
in
communities,”
Wade
told
ESPN.
“That’s
what
I
want
to
continue
to
do.”
This
is
not
the
end
of
Wade’s
story.
He
wants
to
continue
fighting
for
economic
and
social
equality
in
the
US.
How
many
games
did
Wade
play
in
his
professional
career?
A.
1,054.
B.
177.
C.
23,000.
D.
1,231.

C
As
a
child,
I
never
imagined
that
one
day
a
man
would
walk
on
the
moon.
Yet
this
year
we
marked
the
50th
anniversary
of
the
famous
Apollo
11
mission.
As
those
historic
pictures
were
beamed
(传递)
back
to
Earth,
millions
of
us
sat
transfixed
(使…呆住)
to
our
television
screens,
as
we
watched
Neil
Armstrong
taking
a
small
step
for
man
and
a
giant
leap
for
mankind---and,
indeed,
for
womankind.
It’s
a
reminder
for
us
all
that
giant
leaps
often
start
with
small
steps.
This
year
we
marked
another
important
anniversary:
D-Day.
On
6th
June
1944,
some
156,000
British,
Canadian
and
American
forces
landed
in
northern
France.
It
was
the
largest
ever
seabourne
invasion
and
was
delayed
due
to
bad
weather.
I
well
remember
the
look
of
concern
on
my
father’s
face.
He
knew
the
secret
D-Day
plans
but
could
of
course
share
that
burden
with
no
one.
For
the
75th
anniversary
of
that
decisive
battle,
in
a
true
spirit
of
reconciliation
(和解),
those
who
had
formally
been
sworn
enemies
came
together
in
friendly
commemorations
(纪念)
either
side
of
the
Channel,
putting
past
differences
behind
them.
Such
reconciliation
seldom
happens
overnight.
It
takes
patience
and
time
to
rebuild
trust,
and
progress
often
comes
through
small
steps.
Since
the
end
of
the
Second
World
War,
many
charities,
groups
and
organisations
have
worked
to
promote
peace
and
unity
around
the
world,
bringing
together
those
who
have
been
on
opposing
sides.
By
being
willing
to
put
past
differences
behind
us
and
move
forward
together,
we
honour
the
freedom
and
democracy
(民主)
once
won
for
us
at
so
great
a
cost.
The
path,
of
course,
is
not
always
smooth,
and
may
at
times
this
year
have
felt
quite
bumpy,
but
small
steps
can
make
a
world
of
difference.
And,
as
we
all
look
forward
to
the
start
of
a
new
decade,
it’s
worth
remembering
that
it
is
often
the
small
steps,
not
the
giant
leaps,
that
bring
about
the
most
lasting
change.
And
so,
I
wish
you
all
a
very
happy
Christmas.
Who
does
the
“I”
in
the
passage
probably
refer
to?
A.
Neil
Armstrong.
B.
Winston
Churchill.
C.
Queen
Elizabeth
Ⅱ.
D.
Donald

14
days.
That’s
the
time
Chinese
scientists
took
to
identify
the
full
genetic
sequence
of
the
novel
coronavirus
(新冠病毒)
since
its
outbreak.
It
was
shared
with
the
WHO
immediately,
and
has
now
become
an
important
foundation
for
global
researchers
in
the
fight
against
the
COVID-19.
But
first,
let
us
turn
the
clock
back
17
years,
when
it
took
months
to
identify
the
SARS
virus.
From
months
to
14
days,
what
changed?
It
turns
out
AI
played
an
important
part.
The
scientists
first
obtained
bronchoalveolar
lavage
(BAL)
fluid
(支气管扩张灌洗液)
samples
from
patients,
isolated
(分离)
the
DNA
and
RNA,
then
sequenced
the
genetic
material
by
comparing
them.
AI’s
advantage
is
its
ability
to
recognize
patterns
among
a
flood
of
data.
Let
me
put
it
in
a
simple
way.
Sequencing
the
coronavirus
genome
(基因组)
is
similar
to
looking
for
a
needle
in
a
haystack
(干草堆)---looking
for
genotypes
(基因型)
with
specific
characteristics
from
a
huge
gene
pool.
That’s
where
search
algorithm
(算法),
a
branch
of
modern
AI,
comes
in.
Think
of
it
as
an
efficient
search
engine,
which
can
find
the
needle
in
the
haystack.
This
search
algorithm
can
shorten
months-long
genetic
sequencing
to
weeks
or
even
just
a
few
days.
Combined
with
macro-genomic
sequencing
and
a
virus
library,
this
AI
technology
can
also
be
used
in
tracking
virus
mutation
(突变).
AI
doesn’t
just
support
scientists.
It
can
also
help
patients
by
improving
the
efficiency
of
diagnosis
(诊断).
China
launched
a
Genomics
Service,
which
can
run
multiple
virus
gene
comparisons
and
produce
a
detailed
report
within
60
seconds.
This
algorithm
has
been
put
into
use
in
China
and
shared
to
the
world
for
free.
AI’s
advantage
is
that
it
can
________.
A.
slow
down
the
spread
of
coronavirus
B.
separate
DNA
from
RNA
C.
identify
specific
genotypes
rapidly
D.
obtain
samples
from
patients
quickly
The
search
algorithm
helps
shorten
the
time
of
genetic
sequencing
by
__________.
A.
finding
a
needle
in
a
haystack
B.
serving
as
a
search
engine
C.
combining
with
a
virus
library
D.

In
1972,
UNESCO
started
a
programme
to
protect
the
world’s
cultural
and
natural
heritage.
Since
then,
more
than
800
cultural
sites
that
are
thought
to
be
of
special
importance
to
human
history
and
culture
have
been
added
to
the

The
Taj
Mahal,
which
was
built
between
1631
and
1648,
is
a
masterpiece
of
architecture.
It
took
more
than
20,000
workers
and
1,000
elephants
to
complete
the
project,
and
the
stones
came
from
as
far
away
as
China.
17
.
In
the
early
17th
century,
India
was
ruled
by
an
emperor
named
Shah
Jahan.
The
emperor
loved
his
wife,
Mumtaz,
so
much
that
he
built
the
Taj
Mahal
in
her
memory.
Shah
Jahan
was
later
buried
next
to
Mumtaz,
and
the
couple
now
rest
together
forever.
If
the
Taj
Mahal
is
a
celebration
of
the
heart,
then
the
Imperial
Tombs
of
the
Ming
and
Qing
Dynasties
are
a
monument
to
the
mind
and
spirit.

What
makes
the
Qing
and
Ming
Tombs
so
unique
among
amazing
global
buildings?
19

Built
by
several
emperors,
the
Imperial
Tombs
represent
Chinese
architectural
styles
and
historical
values
that
have
been
handed
down
from
generation
to
generation
for
thousands
of
years.
20
.
The
UNESCO
World
Cultural
Heritage
Sites
programme
attempts
to
protect
and
preserve
the
best
of
human
history.
Masterpieces
such
as
the
Taj
Mahal
and
the
Imperial
Tombs
of
the
Ming
and
Qing
Dynasties
remind
us
of
what
we
can
achieve
at
our
finest,
and
inspire
us
to
live
up
to
our
great
past
in
the
future.
Building
the
Taj
Mahal
was
a
labour
of
love.
There
are
many
beautiful
legends
concerning
it.
Two
of
the
best-known
examples
are
listed
below.
The
Imperial
Tombs
have
been
well-preserved
ever
since.
It’s
the
fact
that
they
bring
together
architecture
and
philosophy.
Human
life
lasts
only
a
short
time
but
art
and
culture
last
forever.
Visitors
can
feel
both
the
weight

and
a
wonderful
sense
of
peace.

My
mother
believed
in
magic.
She
believed
things
happened
for
a/an
21
.
She
was
vocal
about
“happy
accidents”.
“See
this
little
box?
It’s
magic:
inside
22
a
bird
that
can
sing.”
I
carefully
wound
the
tiny
music
box,
and
my
sons
were
23
attracted
by
the
beautiful
music,
coming
up
and
wondering
what
it
was.
Besides
singing,
the
bird
24
flapped
(拍打)
its
wings,
and
opened
and
closed
its
small
beak
(鸟喙).
“Please
don’t
touch
it,”
I
25
.
However,
weeks
later
I
noticed
the
bird
no
longer
moved
back
fully.
I
was
so
angry
that
I
26
my
sons.
“I
pushed
the
lid
down,”
volunteered
the
7-year-old
cautiously.
Obviously,
he
realized
what
a
big
mistake
he
had
made.
I
was
going
to
27
him.
However,
another
voice
told
me
that
I
might
find
a
skilled
person
to
28
the
bird
back
to
life
first.
Unfortunately,
I
soon
discovered
that
few
people
could
29
broken
music
boxes.
It
took
me
lots
of
30
to
find
one.
After
lots
of
time
and
cost,
I
was
delighted
to
witness
the
fragile
bird
sing
once
more.
What
I
did
not
31
was
that
the
tiny
bird
would
also
spin
(旋转).
“It
spins!”
I
said,
totally
32
.
“It’s
supposed
to
do
that,”
the
man
said
with
a
heavy
German
accent.
“I
guess
it
is
33
that
your
son
broke
it,
because
now
the
bird
does
what
it
was
34
to
do.”

David
Copperfield
is
the
eighth
novel
by
Charles
Dickens.
The
novel
features
David
Copperfield
and
is
written
36
the
first
person.
The
story
is
about
Copperfield’s
adventures
and
numerous
friends
and
37
(enemy)
he
meets
along
his
way.
It
has
been
called
Dickens’
masterpiece,
which
marks
a
turning
point
in
38
(he)
works,
a
point
that
separates
the
novels
of
youth
and
those
of
maturity.
David
Copperfield
39
(consider)
to
be
more
than
an
autobiography.
In
the
words
of
the
author,
the
novel
was
“a
very
complicated
weaving
of
truth
and
40
(invent)”.
It
has
some
elements
of
Dickens’
own
life---his
schooling
and
reading,
and
his
successful
novel
writing.
And
it
also
gives
41
broad
picture
of
the
author’s
day.
Dickens
included
aspects
of
Victorian
Era
life
42
he
wanted
to
highlight
or
wished
to
change.
The
attitude
of
middle
class
society,
the
status
of
women
in
marriage,
and
the
rigid
class
structure
were
what
he
highlighted,
while
the
system
for
43
(handle)
criminals,
the
quality
of
schools,
and
the
employment
of
children
in
the
fast-spreading
factories
of
the
19th
century
were
what
he
wished
to
change
for
the
44
(good).
Undoubtedly,
he,
among
other
authors,
45
(success)
in
bringing
about
changes
regarding
child
labour
and
schooling
for
more
children
up
to
age
12.

As
a
father,
I
was
always
seeking
for
opportunities
to
teach
my
son
how
to
balance
risk
with
freedom.
Last
month,
I
bought
four
little
chicks.
I
decided
to
make
a
beautiful
coop
(鸡笼)
for
them.
In
the
next
few
weeks,
I,
together
with
my
son
Gordon,
spent
all
our
spare
time
in
the
garage.
Finally,
the
coop
was
finished.
While
admiring
his
well-made
handwork,
Gordon
suddenly
raised
his
head
and
asked,
“Dad,
shall
we
lock
the
chicks
in
the
coop
all
the
time?
I
am
afraid
they
will
be
attacked
by
some
fierce
animals
or
become
someone’s
chicken
soup?”
Seeing
his
anxious
look,
I
cracked
a
smile
and
asked,
“Do
you
want
to
be
trapped
in
a
limited
room
or
have
the
freedom
to
get
around?”
Hesitant
for
a
while,
he
murmured,
“Freedom,
of
course.”
“Chicks
will
also
think
so.”
Therefore,
our
chicks
were
often
seen
chasing
around
in
the
lawns
(草坪),
digging
for
bugs
in
the
bushes
and
laying
eggs
in
the
yard.
Yesterday,
we
needed
to
go
downtown
to
shop
for
food
supply
after
lunch.
Knowing
that
the
chicks
wouldn’t
go
very
far,
we
left
home
with
them
running
around
the
lawn.
When
we
got
back,
the
first
thing
Gordon
did
was
to
check
on
his
chicks.
There
were
only
three
chicks
in
the
yard.
Their
feathers
were
no
longer
fair
and
smooth
but
dirty
and
tangled
(乱糟糟的).
Hearing
our
steps,
they
jumped
to
their
feet
and
scattered
in
all
directions,
seeming
to
have
just
experienced
a
terrifying
disaster.
Worse
still,
Pecky,
Gordon’s
favourite
chick
was
nowhere
to
be
found.
We
searched
the
yard
inch
by
inch
and
found
some
feathers
littering
the
yard.
Seeing
this,
Gordon’s
eyes
got
watery.
I
picked
Gordon
up
and
comforted
him.
As
we
began
to
accept
the
fact
that
we
were
now
a
three-chick
family,
we
heard
it---a
soft
clucking
(咯咯声)
sound
under
a
bush.
Para
1:
I
put
Gordon
down
and
we
looked
under
the
bush.
Para
2:
The
next
day
Gordon
offered
to
have
a
talk
with
me.

possible
version：
I
put
Gordon
down
and
we
looked
under
the
bush.
In
sight
was
a
trembling
little
figure.
“It’s
Pecky!”
Gordon
yelled.
Seeing
Gordon,
Pecky
raised
its
head,
flapped
its
wings,
trying
to
stand
up
but
failed.
Obviously,
its
left
leg
was
terribly
injured.
Gordon
picked
it
up
with
great
care.
Later,
after
checking
the
security
camera,
we
finally
knew
the
whole
story:
a
hungry
wild
cat
had
stolen
into
the
lawn
and
chased
the
chicks
crazily.
Unbelievably,
all
the
chicks
magically
survived,
despite
the
fact
that
Pecky
was
stuck
in
the
bush.
The
next
day
Gordon
offered
to
have
a
talk
with
me.
“Dad,
we
must
lock
the
chicks
in
the
coop.”
He
was
half
crying
and
his
eyes
went
red.
Looking
into
his
eyes,
I
said
softly,
“Risk
is
part
of
our
life.
We
will
never
give
up
freedom
for
fear
of
risk.
Do
you
think
the
chicks
will
survive
without
the
freedom
to
run
every
day?”
After
a
pause,
I
continued,
“We
can
be
more
careful
next
time.
OK?”
Seemingly
having
fully
understood,
Gordon
nodded
in
agreement.
