Relatives from all over the country would come in to visit. The adults would crowd together in the living room to talk and catch up on each other’s lives. And the kids would be sent out into the front yard to play when dinner was slowly cooked for all of us.‎ Those were the days before video games, smart phones, and motorized toys, so we often ended up playing an old game. I remember one of those moments especially. As T was the youngest and smallest of all the kids there, I got caught first and couldn't catch anyone else. My brothers and cousins were all too fast for me, and I grew more and more frustrated. I finally fell my face first into the dirt. I got up with tears forming in my)eyes. Then l saw one of my female cousins Susan standing there. She started to run but was going much slower than before. I easily caught up and seized her. Then she turned to me, smiled, and said, “I’m it. You"d better run! I ran off laughing with glee while she turned and started to chase others.‎ Now I see how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and returned me to joy. It didn't matter that we hardly ever saw each other. I know we are family and she loves me.‎ In her wonderful book: Box of Butterflies, Roma Downey writes, We are all one, we all belong to each other, and we are one big, beautiful family." Perhaps it is time that we ail started to treat each other that way. Perhaps it is time that we shared our love, our kindness, our laughter,and our joy with everyone without fear. Perhaps it is time to finally and forever bring this world together in one big family reunion.‎ ‎24. When the adults were chatting, the kids would ________.‎ A. play video games B. sit in the front yard C. learn to cook dinner D. play traditional games ‎25. The author was able to catch Susan because ________.‎ A. the others ran too fast B. The author was good at running ‎ C. Susan gave her a chance D. Susan wanted to chase others ‎26. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. The author is grateful for what Susan did to her.‎ B. The author can't meet Susan any more.‎ C. The author urges others to love their family D. The author believes the world will become a big family ‎27. What could be the best title of the passage?‎ A. A memory of my childhood B. Sharing of goodness unites us C. Kindness brightens our life. D. A good deed is invaluable C Being "young" is associated with all the good things in life -- beauty, hope and energy. But youth also has negative associations --- impulsiveness, trouble-making and irresponsibility. This negative side seems to be what society focuses on more, which is why young people have mostly been considered as idle and difficult. ‎ But when it comes to Generation Z -- those born between 1996 and 2010 -- this stereotype doesn’t seem to apply anymore.‎ In Japan, for example, Gen Z-ers are less likely to buy on impulse, but take into consideration more a producer’s true value. “They’re looking at the companies, not just the products,” Masahiko Uotani, CEO of Japanese cosmetics company Shiseido, told Bloomberg. “They’re asking, ‘Are they really delivering value to the society? Are they promoting diversity and inclusion?’”‎ Gen Z-ers are also more grounded than we’ve expected them to be. According to a recent survey by Bank of America, more than half of young adults aged between 18 and 23 said they were planning to buy a house within five years. And they’re not just saying it -- they are willing to make sacrifices for it, including getting a second job and saving money for down payment instead of spending it on a vacation.‎ ‎“Despite their young age, group is pragmatic and actively planning for their future," D.Steve Boland, head of Consumer Lending at Bank of America, told USA Today. “They have a clear vision how they are willing to help themselves in order to make it happen."‎ Social issues are also- at the center of concern of Gen Z-ers, who take themselves as a changing force of the world. In India, for example, young people who have just reached the voting age are eager to vote for a new leader who is capable of solving problems that matter the most to them, including pollution, unemployment and women's safety.‎ As a Gen-Zer yourself, what is your plan for the future?‎ ‎28. What do the underlined words “this stereotype” in paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A Being young is good.‎ B. Gen Z-ers are born after 1996.‎ C. The traditional poor impressions on the youth D. The associations with young people.‎ ‎29. We can infer from the third paragraph that ________.‎ A. Gen Z-ers in Japan are picky.‎ B. The Gen Z-ers are self-centered.‎ C. The Gen Z-ers care little about products.‎ D. The Gen Z-ers are wise when shopping.‎ ‎30. What's Steve Boland's attitude to the Gen Z-ers? ‎ A. Approving B. Negative C. Indifferent D. Critical. ‎ ‎31. Which of he following words may best describe Gen Z-ers?‎ A. Confident and independent. B. Visionary and responsible.‎ C. Persistent and down-to-earth. D. Active and creative.‎ D TOKYO, June 8(Xinhua) - The Beijing Organizing committee of the 2022 Olympic and Paralympics Winter Games held a promotion event in the Japanese capital, Tokyo on Saturday to introduce the latest developments in preparation for the Beijing Winter Olympics.‎ The promotion event, which used an exhibition wall and the "Charming Beijing" photo exhibition to showcase the preparations of Beijing 2022, was part of "Beijing Week", a series of activities to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of sister-city relations between Beijing and Tokyo.‎ On the exhibition wall with an area of 33 square meters, Beijing 2022 organizers showcased-five aspects including the Beijing Winter Olympics vision, Beijing's winter sports tradition, emblem(会徽) of Beijing 2022 competition planning and the National Speed Skating Oval.‎ At the same time, old photos of the Chinese and,Japanese ice hockey teams echoed the 40th anniversary of the establishment of sister-city relations between the two cities and the theme of the Beijing Winter Olympics.‎ The promotion videos of the Beijing 2022 emblems, as well as other related video clips,drew great interest of the audience.‎ The Charming Beijing photo exhibition displayed some of the Winter Olympic venues,showing the progress of the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics.‎ Meanwhile, sand table, VR glasses and the "Beijing Winter Olympics Brochure" are also provided to let the audience visually experience the unique charm of the National Speed Skating Oval and the features of other competition venues. ‎ Chang Yu, Director General of the Media and Communications Department of the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, introduced the progress of the preparations of Beijing 2022 and the vision of cooperation between Beijing 2022 and Tokyo 2020.‎ Chang Yu said that the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee stays committed to hosting the Games in a green, inclusive, open and clean manner, with the aim of delivering a fantastic, extraordinary and excellent Olympic even to the world.‎ The Beijing Winter Olympics will open on February 4, 2022, which will feature 7 sports, 15 disciplines and 109 events.‎ ‎32.
