B American writer William Arthur Ward said, “Adversity (逆境) causes some men to break； others to break record.” Sa Ye, 18, is one of those who found his way to get out of the terrible situation. Known as “Qizai” or “770”, the teenager is a video game player on the Huya livestreaming platform (直播平台) and gains more than 10,000 yuan every month. However, his success is hard-won.

Because of his disease, Sa felt lonely and spent most of his time by himself. This started to change after his older cousin gave him a smartphone. Sa soon became interested in playing the popular video games, like Honor of Kings. Through the game, Sa felt connected with young people and the world outside. “It made him happy again,” said his grandfather． In 2019, when his grandmother became quite sick, Sa decided to raise money by livestreaming under the name of DK-770. He trained hard. Although only part of his hands moved freely, he was able to play as well as the other players. “When I can still move my fingers, I want to work hard on my gaming skills and make money to cover the living costs for my parents,” said Sa. Now with nearly 400,000 fans, Sa dreams to become a better player in the future. “In the game, I'm not worse than others.

But in 2020, the word “blue” could mean something more positive (积极的). The Pantone Color Institute in the US forecasts ( 预测) color trends ( 趋势) every year. For 2020, it has chosen “classic blue”, a color that reminds people of the sky before dark. The reason is that it brings “calm, confidence and connection,” according to Pantone. In 2020, people all over the world faced big challenges. Climate change, disease, homeless- ness… all of these problems made us feel nervous and uneasy. But as Pantone Vice (副) President Laurie Pressman said, “The color of classic blue has a comforting power.” Imagine that you are lying down on the ground and looking at the evening sky. Looking at the blue sky will make you feel calm and relaxed, as well as make you think on a deeperlevel． Pantone said that classic blue connects people everywhere as we all look up at our shared sky．“This is a color we can relate to (引起共鸣) around the world, no matter where we live. We look outside the door and we see this color, ” Pressman said. “Like blue jeans, it's always there and you're comfortable with it,” said Pressman, who considered classic blue as a “timeless shade”. If the color is never out of style, people won't throw “classic blue” things away. We can buy less and save resources. So if you want to add some new things to your home, choose something blue to keep up with the latest trend． 46．According to the passage, which of the following can best describe the colour blue? A．Old-fashioned. B．Powerful. C． Nervous. D．Uncomfortable. 47．What does the underlined phrase “timeless shade” mean? A．失去时间的痕迹 B．没有时间的阴影部分 C．永不过时的颜色 D．不受时间影响的树荫 48．What is the best title for this article? A．Try feeling “blue” B．Buy something blue C．Keep up with the trend D．Connect all the people D Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don't really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don't let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦). Bitterness appears when we can't forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we're hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we're really only hurting ourselves. Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long. If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it. ●Accept it Instead of trying to deny (否认) your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it. ● Stop making excuses for it You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you're right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life. ● Forgive and forget it You probably can't completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive others. Forget it and move on. You'll enjoy better health and peace of mind. 49．Bitterness is ． A．a feeling in our mind B．a way to let the anger go C．an excuse for hating someone D．a relationship between two people 50．Bitterness comes from ． A．our health problems like heart disease B． the anger that lives deep inside our mind C． the feeling we have when hurting others D． our relationships with friends and relatives 51．If you see bitterness, you should ． A．deny your anger B．forgive the person who hurts you C．insist you are right D．tell yourself it’s right to be angry 52．The article is most probably taken from ． A．a fiction book B．an ad website C．a news report D．a health magazine 五、信息还原（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余 选 项． A：Do you know who the compass（指南针）was invented by?
