21、The Chinese people attach great importance to mianzi. There is no corresponding English term for mianzi, but its meaning is somewhere between paying attention to image and honor. In the Chinese language, many derivative(派生的) words and expressions with mianzi as the root have come into being, and all of them reflect important aspects of Chinese culture.

Hao mianzi (to be concerned about image and honor) is widely regarded as a characteristic Chinese cultural feature. When Confucius accepted new students 2,500 years ago, he asked them to give a few kilograms of dried meat as tuition. But the sage was so concerned about mianzi that he called the dried meat presents, not tuition or fees.

Hao mianzi reflects the concept of image and honor. In China, there is a protocol to everything which should be followed to avoid embarrassment. And hao mianzi is all about avoiding embarrassment.

A few months ago, my wife got a phone call from one of her high school classmates living in a neighboring city, inviting her to her son’s wedding. My wife made several phone calls to find out how much the present for the bridegroom should be worth.

In China, when one is invited to attend a wedding, a birthday party or any other special occasion, one is supposed to bring with him or her some present. The values of such presents have been changing with time－four decades ago, it could be an enamel bowl, a thermos flask or a bed sheet but now the best option is cash. The amount should not be too small, or else you could be considered a miser, or too big to become a burden on the receiving party, for he/she has to gift a present of a similar amount in return when the occasion arises.

Such gifts or presents, in Chinese, are called suili, and generally range from a few hundred yuan to more than 1,000 yuan ($156.96), depending on the family’s income.

After my wife found out that the widely accepted sum of suili in the city where her former classmate lived was 600 yuan, she put six 100 yuan bills in an envelope and set off for the neighboring city. Gifting less than 600 yuan would have made my wife diu mianzi (lose face) while by gifting a lot more than that, she could have embarrassed the other guests.

Happy to see my wife, her friend said the fact that she come all the way from Beijing to attend the wedding was so zheng mianzi (face gaining). But her thankful words also implied that if my wife had not attended the wedding, she could have been blamed for bugei mianzi (not giving face).

The Chinese people are very serious about mianzi. There have been reports about immigrant workers spending an entire year’s savings on suili when returning home for Spring Festival during which many weddings are usually held.

But today’s youth do not care much about mianzi. Going Dutch is becoming popular, especially among white collar workers when dining out or traveling together. Also, the youth can always find a good reason to skip ceremonies that require them to gift suili.

For them, mianzi does not depend on how others look at you but on your own level of satisfaction－be it from career achievements or high-quality living.

【1】Why was Confucius’ example referred to in the passage?

A．To show that Confucius was also a meat lover.

B．To identify mianzi as a cultural feature around the world.

C．To honour Confucius’ kindness in accepting students for free.

D．To indicate that Confucius was concerned about his image and honour.

【2】What does the underlined word “protocol” mean?

A．practice.

B．taboo.

C．embarrassment.

D．conflict.

【3】What can be implied from the passage?

A．Chinese tend to think suili a must in their life, especially the youth.

B．The values of suili have been settled since decades ago.

C．Chinese think of suili as an inevitable burden of life.

D．Suili can also be treated as a derivative word with mianzi.

A.covering the shower door with your coat keeps it spotless longer

B.soft bread can be used to pick up tiny glass fragments

C.yogurt can be made sweeter if you add your favourite fruit and microwave it

23、   Traveling can do some harm to your health.【1】, from losing sleep to running around all day and trying to keep up with the plans, it s easy to get carried away with things and for-get to take care of yourself. So, we’ve found some great tips to help you stay healthy while traveling.

Get some sleep

Whenever you happen to have some downtime, make sure to get some sleep. Whether it’s on a flight or in the car, sleeping enough is very important for your health. Physically traveling, crossing different time zones, carrying luggage around, and walking all day can be harsh on your body as well.【2】

Drink a lot of water

Make sure to carry a water bottle with you at all times, no matter where you're headed to. New climates have more of an impact on your hydration levels than you might realize.【3】. Then you'll be more likely to remember to drink throughout the day.

Stretch

When you have a full day of activities ahead, it's important to dedicate a little time in the morning to stretch a little. Take 5-10 minutes to stretch your whole body and prepare you for the day. Aside from energizing you, stretching on a regular basis will help you release tension in your body and in turn get better sleep.【4】!

【5】

Despite the fact that you're on vacation, don't let that prevent you from your workout routine. It might seem obvious, but if you aren't doing things that are active, make sure to get a workout into your day. Aside from keeping your body healthy, working out will help you feel better mentally as well.

A．It's a win-win

B．Get some exercise

C．Keep mentally healthy

D．While you re on the road

E．To put it simply, listen to your body

F．If you're in poor health and intend to relax

G．Just be sure to start off the day with plenty of water

24、Getting the “side-eye” look from your dog can make it seem like they are making a judgement about you, and some new studies suggest they really could be.

The ability to judge others’ intentions is an indicator of possessing “theory of mind” which was once thought to be unique to humans. However, new studies have shown that dogs can read human behaviour and have a preference to people who are more friendly or generous with food.

One such study published in 2023 aimed to see if dogs can tell the difference between humans who are “unwilling” or “unable” to give them a treat. 96 dogs were involved in both “unwilling” and “unable” scenarios (情境) designed for the study. Both scenarios involved a dog being placed on one side of a glass screen with small holes in it at nose-height, and an experimenter standing on the other. In the ‘unwilling’ scenario, the experimenter would hang a piece of sausage in front of the screen in a ‘teasing’ (戏耍的) manner, and approach one of the holes. But instead of passing it through the hole to the dog, they would then pull it out of its reach. For the “unable” scenario, the experimenter would again move the treat towards the hole while the dog watched, but “accidentally” drop it before they could pass it through.

The researchers observed that the dogs were much more patient, making more eye contact and staying closer to the screen after the “unable” scenario played out. In the “unwilling” scenario, however, the dogs looked at the experimenter less often, sat, lay down and wandered around more frequently.

Another study from 2021 tested for “theory of mind” in dogs in a similar way, but the dogs were able to walk round the screen to obtain the treat after witnessing the experimenter’s “unwilling” or “unable” behaviour. The main finding was that the dogs approached the experimenter significantly sooner in the unable scenario than in the unwilling scenario.

However, the researchers of the 2023 study challenged that the food dropped on the floor in the clumsy (笨拙的) manner might have motivated the dogs to approach the experimenter considering that they probably often obtain food dropped on the floor in their daily lives.

Now, more evidence has been provided that dogs distinguish between similar actions associated with different intentions. But how exactly they acquire such intention-reading abilities will be an exciting topic for future research.

【1】What is one of the new research findings according to Paragraph 2?

A．Dogs also have “theory of mind”.

B．Dogs prefer food from generous people.

C．Human behaviours are mostly intentional.

D．Friendly animals can get food more easily.

【2】What did the experimenter do in the “unwilling” scenario in the 2023 study?

A．They acted awkwardly while feeding the dog.

B．They pretended to walk slowly away from the dog.

C．They teased the dog by fixing the treat to the screen.

D．They pulled the sausage beyond the dog’s reach.

【3】How did the dogs of the 2023 study respond to the “unable” behaviour?

A．By moving closer to the experimenter.

B．By keeping wandering around.

C．By ignoring the experimenter.

D．By lying still on the floor

【4】How does the experiment design of the 2021 study differ from that of 2023?

A．The dogs can watch the experimenter.

B．The dogs can go to the other side of the screen.

C．The dogs’ responses are under close observation.

D．The dogs’ habitual behaviours are under analysis.

【5】What do the dogs’ different responses in “unwilling” and “unable” scenarios suggest?

A．Dogs can tell “being friendly” from “being mean”

B．Dogs’ intelligence is gradually evolving.

C．Dogs’ intentions can be easily identified.

D．Dogs are a lot more emotional than other animals.
