Gift-Giving Customs
Whether it is for a special festival, to express thanks or to just let someone know that you care about them, giving gifts is a common custom. The purpose of giving gifts may be similar, but the tradition varies from country to country. A gift of respect in one place may be considered rude in another. Take a look at three unique gift giving traditions.
India
If you're invited to someone's home in India, you should bring a small gift, whether it's a box of chocolates or some flowers. Gifts shouldn't be wrapped(包裹)in black or white colors, because they are considered unlucky. Instead, use bright colors such as green, red or yellow. When giving money for any occasion, it should have an odd number (奇数)value. That's believed to bring good luck. Instead of receiving a gift with both hands, Indians generally only use their right hand because left hands are considered unclean.
Japan
For most Japanese, the ritual(礼节)of giving presents is more important than the gifts themselves. The correct way is to present or receive gifts with both hands. Every gift should be wrapped. That's because uncovered gifts are considered disrespectful. To show politeness and thanks, those who are receiving the gift may turn it down once or twice before finally accepting it. Gifts should be given in pairs, but four should be avoided just like in China. Lucky numbers also include eight. Eight is said to bring prosperity(兴旺).
Native America
While it may be common for guests to prepare gifts for hosts, this is different in Native American communities. From weddings to birthday celebrations, guests are the ones who receive gifts. Gifts are usually homemade arts and crafts(工艺)- made by hand to show love, respect and appreciation.
【1】Which of the tradition will fit in India?
A.Bring the gift wrapped in white.
B.Use 600 dollars as gift.
C.Receive gift with both hands.
D.Chocolates in red box as gift.
【2】The Japanese pay more attention to the of giving presents.
A.color B.value C.way D.amount
【3】Which of the following statements is right?
A.The traditions of giving gift is similar in different countries.
B.Japanese will receive the presents directly.
C.The hosts in America are expected to receive presents.
D.No matter where the gift-giving customs are, they convey good meaning.

Instant Fame
In the internet era, one could become a web celebrity within seconds.
This is true of Tamdrin, a 20-year-old Tibetan man, who recently attracted a lot of attention after a photographer posted a less than 10-second video of him on Douyin. Tamdrin now lives in Litang County of Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan province.
The netizens were amazed at his pretty face with sun-kissed skin, a mop of brown hair and an “angelic and comforting” smile. In particular, Tamdrin had “stars in his eyes”. People think that he is different from today's popular young male idols who are characterized for their beautifully clean faces, fair skin and delicate makeup. On Nov 19, Tamdrin posted his first video on his own Douyin account. As of Nov 24, the video received more than 2.2 million likes and over100,000 comments, and he had over 2.5 million followers.
After Tamdrin shot to sudden stardom, some companies invited him to become a professional online celebrity. Instead of doing this, Tamdrin was employed by a state-owned company.
"Tamdrin has been hired .... to promote the tourism of Litang county and Garze Tibetan autonomous prefecture,” Gao Xiaoping told Red Star News. Gao is a deputy manager of the county's culture, tourism and sports investment development company.
“He'll get a monthly salary of 3,500 yuan as well as insurance and subsidies. We'll check the qualifications of the companies that want to cooperate with him to prevent him from being cheated,” he added.
“I'm glad to see that Tibetans are increasingly becoming internet celebrities,” Sangyeshung, a Tibetan man who works as a physician for the Ganlu Tibetan Medicine Group in the Tibet autonomous region, told China Daily.
“They can introduce Tibetan culture, food and places of interests to the world,” he said.

In work, as well as in life, doing what needs to be done in order to reach our goals can be difficult. Without a good system in place, it is easy to lose focus, waste time and lose track of our most important tasks. Luckily, one of the most efficient(高效的)useful ways is also one of the world's easiest---the Pomodoro Technique.
The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s, which breaks down your work into 25-minute blocks(一段时间)divided by short breaks. Cirillo named the system after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer(计时器)that he used to track his work time when he was studying in university, where he developed a habit of doing short blocks of work followed by resting periods. He realized this method could help him work with time instead of struggling against it. In 2006, Cirillo published his Pomodoro Technique manual for people to download free of charge. It was downloaded over two million times.
The Pomodoro Technique was built around a handful of important steps. First, choose a task that you'd like to get done. It can be something big, something small, or something that you've been putting off for months. What matters is that you are ready to give it your full attention.
Next, set a timer for 25 minutes. Try to spend the full 25 minutes with your complete attention on the task. Then, when the timer goes off, take a five-minute break. Sit back, have a drink, go for a short walk, or do something else that doesn't relate to work. Treat yourself to a longer break that lasts 15 to 30 minutes after you have completed four of these 30-minute cycles. In theory, the longer break will allow your brain to relax, reset, ready for the next round of Pomodoros.
After trying the Pomodoro Technique, you may want to experiment a little. Some people have found that 90-minute blocks work best, while others might perform better with more flexible periods. It varies from person to person. Just remember, like many things in life, simpler is often better!
【1】What can we know about Pomodoro Technique?
A.The technique was named after Cirillo.
B.Cirillo developed a habit of doing short blocks of work followed by resting periods in 2006.
C.Users of the technique can have a rest at intervals.
D.Cirillo got profits from Pomodoro Technique manual.
【2】Which shows the correct order of the following events?
a. Focus on the task.
b. Set out tasks.
c. Take a 5-minute break.
d. Take a longer break.
e. Repeat the cycle four times
A.acebd B.baced
C.bacde D.acede
【3】Which of the following can best describe the use of Pomodoro Technique?
A.A 90-minute block works best.
B.Take a longer break that lasts 60 minutes will allow your brain to relax, reset, ready for the next round of Pomodoros.
C.The time setting depends on the users.
D.A simple Pomodoro can make things in life better.
【4】What's the main idea of the passage?
A.The introduction of the Pomodoro Technique.
B.The invention of the Pomodoro Technique.
C.The use of the Pomodoro Technique.
D.The effect the Pomodoro Technique brings to people.

This year, the hole in the ozone layer (臭氧层)over Antarctica has expanded to one of its largest sizes and deepest levels in years.
So how big is the ozone hole? On Sept 20, the hole over Antarctica peaked (达到高峰) at 24.8 million square kilometers, which is three times the size of the United States. It has increased by 8.4 million square kilometers since 2019.
That puts it in about the same ballpark (范围) as ozone holes in 2015 and 2018, which respectively recorded peaks of 25.6 and 22.9 million square kilometers.
"The 2020 ozone loss shows that we have to remain vigilant (警觉的) and maintain continuous observations (观察)," said World Meteorological organization Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.
The ozone layer is important because it acts like a sunscreen, blocking harmful ultraviolet light (紫外线) from reaching our planet's surface. Without it, humans and animals will be more likely to experience skin cancers, immune suppression (抑制), cataracts (白内障) and premature (提前的) aging.
Of course, humans play a large role in the depletion (消耗) of the ozone layer. The loss of ozone in the Antarctic, as well as the Arctic, is due to the large amounts of ozone-destroying gases caused by human activity. Once released into the atmosphere, these gases can remain for decades. In extremely cold weather conditions, they trigger (激发) chemical reactions that destroy the ozone layer.
"The Arctic stratosphere (平流居) continues to be vulnerable (脆弱的) to ozone-depleting substances linked to human activities," said Taalas.
Marcus Rex, a scientist at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany, told Nature that the ozone hole doesn't threaten human health but that over next month, there is a possibility that it might move to more populated areas. In that case, he recommends more sunscreen.
Although it seems bad, scientists are hopeful that Earth can heal (治愈) itself. Researchers believe the ozone hole will eventually heal and around 2050, Earth's ozone layer will return to normal.
【1】What does the underlined word "That" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.The ozone layer. B.The growing of ozone hole.
C.The ultraviolet light. D.The size of ozone hole.
【2】Why does the ozone layer matter to people's lives?
A.It contains resources on which mankind rely for living.
B.It can prevent human from experiencing skin cancers, immune suppression, cataracts and premature aging.
C.It can protect ultraviolet light from harming people.
D.It can help deplete ozone-destroying gases caused by human activity.
【3】Why does the author mention Taalas's words in Paragraph 7?
A.To show that Arctic stratosphere is too vulnerable to protect the Earth.
B.To introduce several ozone-depleting substances linked to human activities.
C.To prove that human activities have a great effect on the depletion of the ozone layer.
D.To discuss why Arctic stratosphere is vulnerable.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Human activities' great effect on nature
B.Researches on the ozone layer
C.The harm of the depletion of the ozone layer
D.Rapidly growing ozone hole

Five Tips for Getting Along with Your Roommate
You may have grown up living with lots of siblings, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else. While having a roommate inevitably has its challenges, it can also be a great part of your college experience. 【1】
Be clear about your expectations from the beginning
Do you know in advance that you hate it when someone turns off alarms fifteen times every morning? 【2】 That you need ten minutes to yourself before talking to anyone after you wake up? Let your roommate know as soon as you can about your little quirks and preferences. It's not fair to expect him or her to pick up on them right away, and communicating what you need is one of the best ways to eliminate problems before they become problems.
Respect your roommate's stuff
This may seem simple, but it's probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict. Don't think he'll mind if you borrow his things for a minute? For all you know, you just stepped over an uncrossable line. 【3】
Lock the door and windows
This may seem like it has nothing to do with roommate relationships, but how would you feel if your roommate's laptop got stolen during the ten seconds it took you to run down the hall? Or vice versa? Locking your door and windows is a critical part of keeping safe on school.
【4】
Your roommate may be from someplace you've never heard of. They may have a religion or lifestyle that is completely different from your own. Be open to new ideas and experiences, especially as it relates to what your roommate brings into your life. That's why you went to college in the first place, right?!
If nothing else, follow the golden rule
Treat your roommate like you'd like to be treated. 【5】 It will help you get closer soon. No matter what your relationship is at the end of the year, you can take comfort knowing you acted like an adult and treated your roommate with respect.
A.That you love neatness crazily?
B.Don't borrow, use, or take anything without getting permission first.
C.Be flexible to your changing environment.
D.You should be friendly with your roommate but also make sure you have your own social circles.
E.Follow these five tips to make sure you and your roommate keep things pleasant throughout the year.
F.Be open to new things.
G.Lend a helping hand when she is in need.
