Their combined ages of 211—with 80 years of marriage-makes them the oldest living couple on Earth, according to the Guinness World Records, but for John Henderson, 106, and his wife Charlotte, 105, of Austin, Texas, it's as if time never mattered.

As William Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. "We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,“ remarked Harvard Professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu , China's Greatest Poet, a new BBC documentary that aired on April 7. Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe, the documentary invited famous British actor Ian McKellen, who played the wizard Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings, to read 15 of Du's poems that have been translated into English. The one-hour film traces the poet's life experiences in detail. Born in 712, Du lived under the reign of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong(713 —756), a time marked by extraordinary prosperity, inclusiveness and cultural accomplishment. However, as the An Lushan Rebellion floored the empire, the 43-year-old Du, the former civil servant at the Tang court, had to take his family out of his hometown, and faced starvation and sufferings. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1,500 poems have been kept over the ages. Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales, he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I'd house all scholars poor and make them beam with smiles”. “That is why he was honored as a Poet Sage by later generations. A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces,“ Shi Wenxue, a cultural critic based in Beijing, told the Global Times. Without doubt, Du is a cultural symbol of ancient China, but his brilliant works and core spirits have also inspired people outside of China. As the documentary noted, his work represents a precious cultural heritage for the entire world, not just China. 【1】What can we know about the documentary? A.It introduces Shakespeare. B.Du Fu is acted by Ian McKellen in it. C.Its target audience is Chinese. D.It shows 15 of Du Fu's poems to the audience. 【2】What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 6 refer to? A.Caring about common people. B.My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales. C.The low position in the government. D.The sentence of the poem. 【3】What most inspired Du's creation according to Shi Wenxue? A.His work experience. B.Hard life and his caring spirit. C.The An Lushan rebellion. D.The Tang dynasty culture background. 【4】In which section of a website may this text appear? A.Entertainment. B.Health. C.Literature. D.Science. |

LONDON——Global auction(拍卖）sales of Chinese art and antiques fell in 2019 to $ 5.7 billion, a 10 percent drop year-on-year, and the lowest level for the collecting category since 2010. The Global Chinese Art Auction market report, compiled by Artnet and the Chinese Association of Auctioneers, found this was clue to trade tensions between the United States and China, as well as a slowdown of GDP in China. The report, now in its eighth edition, noted that the value of total auction sales within the Chinese mainland declined by 10 percent in 2019 to $ 3.7 billion, the lowest total since 2010. Outside China, there was also a 9 percent drop in sales of Chinese art and antiques. “The combination of such slowdowns resulted in a weakening of collectors' confidence and a more cautious attitude among buyers making decisions on investing in art in 2019," said the report. However, despite the downturn in total sales value for Chinese art and antiques in 2019, the European market showed some positive trends emerging. Significant peaks in lots offered and lots sold in Europe, combined with a strong sell through rate（卖出率）of 61 percent in 2019. Europe accounted for 29 percent of all Chinese art and antique lots sold overseas in 2019 , according to the report, closing in on（接近）the North American market's share. The annual report also found strong performances with 20th century and contemporary Chinese art in both the Chinese mainland and overseas, boosted by a younger generation of Chinese collectors. The average price for the category increased in the Chinese mainland, up by 23 percent year- on-year, and overseas sales saw a nine-year high in 2019. But fine Chinese paintings and calligraphy, the largest collecting category on the Chinese mainland, did not perform as well. According to the report this category “continued to spiral(螺旋式的）downwards, reaching its lowest point in sales since 2013”. The number of lots dropped by 10 percent year-on-year, almost half of that of 2013 and it also struggled elsewhere, with the overseas total falling to a seven-year low. 【1】What is the third paragraph mainly about? A.The result of a weakening of collectors' confidence in buying art. B.The advantage of buyers' making decisions on investing in art. C.The advantage of the decline of the value of total auction sales. D.The result of the decline of the value of total auction sales. 【2】Why does the report say “fine Chinese paintings and calligraphy did not perform as well” on the Chinese mainland? A.Their standards were not so high. B.Their prices were not so satisfying. C.They are the largest collecting category. D.The average price for the category rose sharply. 【3】What does the underlined phrase “accounted for” in paragraph 5 mean? A.Took up. B.Took off. C.Took away. D.Took on. 【4】Which can be the best title for the news report? A.A Slowdown of GDP in China in 2019 B.A Report on the Global Chinese Art Auction Market C.Trade Tensions Between the United States and China D.Global Auction Sales of Chinese Antiques and Art Fall to a 10-year Low |

When we come home from a long day at school, our clogs are so happy to see us. Their faces look happy, with mouths wide open. 【1】 It's probably not an illusion(错觉）at all. In fact, two centuries of modern science has good evidence that humans and animals share emotions—including the kind of emotion that results in laughter. US animal behaviorist Patricia Simonet carried out research on a special sound that dogs make when they play. 【2】. It is quite different from other dog sounds like whining（哀鸣）and growling（咆哮）.Simonet believed it is laughter. Even other dogs seem to recognize and associate the “laugh" with pleasure. 【3】 when Simonet played the laughter to other dogs, reported ABC News. It might not surprise us that dogs—our traditional “best friends”—like to laugh. But other research suggests that creatures? like rats, also laugh. Estonian researcher Jaak Panksepp did experiments on rats.【4】. When Panksepp tickled his rats on the neck, they made a chirping（唧唧声）sound, which the scientist believed was laughter. The rats liked the tickling so much, he reported, that they sought more of it. According to Scientific American , Panksepp's rats would follow his finger around to make him tickle them again. While studies have shown that dogs and rats “laugh“ when they play? it doesn't mean that all animals really laugh even if they make a laughter-like sound. Take hyenas（土狼）for example. The hyena is well known for making a noise that sounds like a person laughing loudly. But studies show the hyenas don't make the noise because they think something is funny. 【5】 But make no mistake? when your dog welcomes you home, it's definitely laughing. A.You can make your dog laugh at times B.Laughter can relieve their nervousness C.He found that they had a sense of humor and fun D.The sound is a “forced, breathy exhalation（呼气）” E.We've all wondered whether our dogs are smiling at us F.Some would seek out toys and others would run toward the source G.The “laughing“ is actually a noise they make when they are excited or frightened |
