All eyes were on Jack Ma. The chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd stepped down on Teachers’ Day from leading the e-commerce giant he founded 20 years ago. “I still have lots of dreams to go after,” Ma wrote in an open letter last year to announce his parting. “The world is big, and I am still young, so I want to try new things.” The 55-year-old businessman showed that he was ready for new things by arriving at his farewell party dressed up like a rock star. In fact, his rags-to-riches story is a good example of doing something different. Visiting the United States in 1995, Ma saw the internet and had the idea of setting up his own trading website. In 1999, he founded Alibaba with a group of friends in a shared apartment, struggling for years to get it off the ground. With all the challenges, the company slowly brought e-commerce to China. Although his success has inspired a number of Chinese tech businessmen, Ma pointed out that the key is having a dream. “It’s the dreams that keep us never afraid of setbacks,” Ma said in a video posted on Sept 9. Now the experienced businessman is looking to focus on education. What can he offer? “I’m not gonna teach English; I’m not gonna teach business. But I’m gonna teach young people how to face challenges,” he told Bloomberg News. Skilled sailors were never made on calm waters. As Ma said, “Today is cruel. Tomorrow is crueler. But the day after tomorrow is beautiful.” 【1】Why did Jack Ma attract all the attention on Teachers’ Day in 2019？ A.He led the Alibaba Group to celebrate the Teachers’ Day. B.He would become the former chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. C.He and a group of friends founded Alibaba Group 20 years ago. D.He gave a special show dressed up like a rock star. 【2】What will Jack Ma do after his parting from Alibaba？ A.He will be an English teacher. B.He will be a rock star. C.He will continue to be a businessman. D.He will try something new related to education. 【3】Which statement about Jack Ma is NOT true according to the passage？ A.Ma’s success lies in pursuing his dream and making great effort. B.Jack Ma was worried about the future of education in China. C.Jack Ma always wants to challenge himself in new fields. D.Jack Ma would like to encourage young people to overcome difficulties.

B Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role — showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget. In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s leant into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam,14, Finn,13, and Jack, 11. "We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant," she explains.

Does happiness have a scent? When someone is happy，can you smell it? You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile，hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug．But can you also smell their happiness? Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent，and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell，reports Phys．org． For the study，12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them．All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers，and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period． Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell，while researchers monitored their reactions．Only women were selected to smell the samples，apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling—though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents． Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents—particularly their facial expressions—indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them． “Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell，” said study co-author Gun Semin，a professor at Koc University in Turkey． This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent，but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others．The study also found that other emotions，such as fear，seem to carry a scent too．This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell，but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings． Researchers have yet to isolate(分离) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is，but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be．Happiness perfumes，for instance，could be invented． Scent therapies（香味疗法）could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety． Perhaps the most surprising result of the study，however，is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated，and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us． 【1】What is the main finding of the new research? A． Men produce more sweats． B． Negative emotions have a smell． C． Pleasant feelings can be smelt out． D． Women have a better sense of smell． 【2】The underlined part “abstain from” in Paragraph 3 probably means _________． A． Avoid B． Practice C． Continue D． try 【3】What is the application value of the new research? A． Perfumes could help people understand each other． B． Some smells could be developed to better our mood． C． Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases． D． Some smells could be created to improve our appearance． 【4】We can learn from the last paragraph that ________． A． happiness comes from a scent of sweat B． positive energy can deepen understanding C． people need more emotional communication D． social surroundings can influence our emotions
