The Magic of Waving
It began a year ago, around Christmas.
While driving around the corner of our townhouse sports center, I always noticed an old man sitting by his front yard. He was usually smoking or drinking and looked grumpy (脾气不好).
One day, while I was driving past him with my daughter, I decided to 46 at him with a lot of excitement. At the beginning, when he noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit shocked (震惊). Then, I saw his 47 go up and he waved back.
“Why did you wave at him?" my daughter asked
I told her that it was just an act of kindness that didn't 48 anything, and it gave both him and me a sense of joy. She answered by saying that she was a bit embarrassed (局促不安)to wave to a 49, but next time she would try it as well.
Lucky for us, we lived close to the old man, so we _50 him rather often. Whenever we drove by, both of us would wave at him and, pretty soon, the old man _51 waving at everyone who passed by his house.
One day, my daughter's friend came to visit and she told my daughter that she saw this strange old man near our home who waved at her very52_. She mentioned that she waved back at him, even though she didn't know him, and that it felt really good.
Upon hearing this, my daughter told her friend the story of how all the waving began.
Her friend answered, “Tell your mom that's really_53 ！”
Other friends made similar comments (评论), and this experience taught my daughter just how much an act of kindness can be very natural and effort less, if you really want to do it. It showed us how giving happiness _54_ both the giver and the receiver.
Inspired(激励) by all these positive effects, we're planning to give our elder waving neighbor a thank-you card, to express our thanks for the warmth that he communicated through his enthusiastic (热情的) waves. And to thank him for 55 this simple joy with all who pass by his house.

Clouds
On a beautiful spring afternoon,
I relax ---- and lie down.
On the soft green grass,
Breathing in the fresh smell that I can feel all around.
My attention is taken up to the clouds.
For up there in the bright blue sky
Is a fluffy white world of cotton candy animals
And castles built with marshmallow bricks.
But I must be creative and take the time
To bring this world into focus,
So I take a breath,
And close my eyes just a little bit.
As a tiny, cotton ball mouse
Jumps out from a lion's house.
What a treat to spend my afternoon
With these newly found friends moving by!

On December 10 each year the Alfred Nobel Foundation presents six prizes. These prizes are named after Alfred Nobel who invented dynamite (炸药) in the I9è century. During his life, Mr. Nobel made a lot of money from his invention. It was his idea to create the prizes. He put the money in a bank, and money made more money through interest from the bank.
Mr. Nobel wanted to use his money to help scientists, artists and people helping others around the world. The prizes include physics, medicine, chemistry, literature and peace.These five Nobel Prizes were first given out in 1901. Later, Nobel Prize in Economic (经济) Sciences was set up to celebrate the 300* year business of the Central Bank of Sweden (瑞典) in 1968.
Each winner is given a cash prize, a medal and a special paper which explains the prize the person won. The amount of money each person gets is calculated (计算) from the interest made from all of Mr. Nobel's money still in the bank. This interest is divided equally between the five prize winners in physics, medicine, chemistry, literature and peace. The Central Bank of Sweden then pays the same amount to the winner of the prize in economics.
Affected by the COVID-19, this year's Nobel Prize Award Ceremony (仪式) will be held online instead of the traditional one.
59. The Nobel Prizes are presented _____________.
A.every four years B.in December
C. at different times D.at UN headquarters
60. The word “interest" in the first paragraph means _____________ in Chinese.
A.利息 B.兴趣 C.名胜 D.储蓄
61. Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A.A silver medal, an invention and money are given to each Nobel Prize winner.
B.All the Nobel Prize winners are given money from the Central Bank of Sweden.
C. The Nobel Prize in Economics was not set up by Alfred Nobel.
D.The Central Bank of Sweden won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1968.

More than two thirds of the world's polar bears will be wiped out ( 消灭) by 2050, according to a shocking new study. By then, scientists say, global warming will have melted 42percent of the Arctic sea ice. By 2100, only a very few of these important creatures will be left. The report has been produced by the US Geological (地质学的) Survey. The scientists have publicized their findings in the hope of influencing US Interior Secretary (内政部长)，Dirk Kempthorne, who has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list. Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals, which are their main food. Without enough ice, polar bears would be forced to go onto the land, where they are poorly skilled hunters, and would be unlikely to adapt (适应) to the life on the land in time. Experts say few little bears would survive and the stress could make many females unable to get pregnant.
The team of American and Canadian scientists spent six months studying bears, on the ground, from spotter planes (侦察机) and in the lab, using computer models. Some team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says..They say the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere in the world and much faster than their computers had been forecasting(预测). Satellite observations have showed that the ice has decreased to an all-time(空前的)low.
However, not everyone in the scientific community believes that global warming is happening on such an alarming scale (报警规模). Another investigation has found that polar bears are still being hunted by wealthy “sportsmen” who want their skins and heads. At least ten international companies offer bear-hunting trips.
62. What do we know about Dirk Kempthorne according to the passage?
A.He is an animal scientist.
B. He is a protector of animals working for the US government.
C.He was asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.
D.He offered to put polar bears on the endangered species list.
63. Why will polar bears die out if there is not enough sea ice?
A. Because polar bears can't catch enough food without ice.
B.Because polar bears eat ice when they feel thirsty.
C. Because polar bears will be easily found by hunters without ice.
D.Because most female bears are used to giving birth under ice.
64. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A.The forecast about the future of polar bears is not correct.
B.Global warming won't have any effect on hunting trips in the Arctic.
C.Polar bears are an endangered species as a result of bear-hunting.
D.People don't pay enough attention to the protection of endangered bears.
65. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Global warming makes the whole world different.
B. Human beings are responsible for the endangered species.
C. Most of the polar bears will be wiped out by the end of this century.
D. Scientists have found that most animals in the Arctic will die out by the end of this century.

阅读短文，并按要求完成下列试题。
Have you heard of "soft skills" before? To be honest, it's something that is not taught in school. However, to be truly happy and successful, you need to develop soft skills. Here are some of them.
Understand the power of non-language communication. If you have watched a nature program, you've probably seen how some animals communicate. For example, a wolf can control its young just by using a different look in its eyes. While humans have the ability to speak, about 55% of our face-to-face communication actually takes place through body language.
Know how to make others laugh. I'm sure with your friends and family you have a great sense of humor. However, how about at work, or when you meet strangers? Break free, and add humor to your actions. Then your personal happiness will rise.
Respect others. Unfortunately this soft skill seems to be going out of fashion at present. Too many people have become self-centered, and put their own hopes above the needs of other people. Please make sure you respect all those you come into contact with.Interestingly, by respecting others, you'll find they respect you more in return.
Have persuasive (有说服力) power. This isn't some kind of superheroes’ power. It's an ability that many people have developed. If you learn to communicate persuasively, you will go far.
