26、  Not many things in life can be more irritating (令人气愤的): you are having a conversation with friends, but they check their phones and begin replying to texts or checking their emails. The Guardian (卫报) described the scene of a friend’s face buried in a screen as “a distinct 21st-century problem”. A new word has been created to describe this --- phubbing. It is the act of looking at your mobile phone instead of paying attention to others during a social interaction. Like pointing at one’s nose, phubbing is widely considered rude behavior. People everywhere are beginning to lose patience with the phenomenon.

A “Stop Phubbing” campaign group has been started in Australia and at least five others have appeared as anger about the lack of manners grows. The campaign’s creator, Alex Haigh, 23, from Melbourne, said, “A group of friends and I were chatting when someone said how annoying being ignored by people on mobiles was.” He has created a website where companies can download posters to discourage phubbing.

Phubbing is just one symptom of our increasing dependence on mobile phones and the Internet, which is replacing normal social interaction. A survey found that one out of three Britons would answer the phone in a restaurant and 19% said they would while being served in a shop. The survey came after a supermarket assistant in south London refused to serve a woman until she stopped using her phone. A survey, for a Sunday paper, also found that 54 per cent of people checked Facebook, Twitter or other social media every day, with 16 per cent checking more than ten times a day. An unsurprising 63 per cent of people carry their phone with them “almost all, or all of the time”, it found.

Phil Reed, a professor of psychology at Swansea University who has studied the Internet addiction disorder, said many phubbers show symptoms of addiction to their mobile phones.

Time magazine once pointed out, “Phubbing has a much greater potential harm to real-life connections by making people around us feel like we care more about posts than their presence.”

In the UK, Glamour magazine even imagined how novelist Jane Austen (1775-1817) would have written about people with bad mobile phone manners: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man or woman in possession of a good mobile phone must be in want of manners.”

【1】Phubbing has occurred because _______.

A. distrust has already been everywhere among people

B. the friendship between people is becoming weak

C. people are getting dependent on attraction online

D. there has been a lack of means of communication

【2】Which of the statements is TRUE about the “Stop Phubbing” campaign?

A. It was first started in America and then it spread to Melbourne.

B. Companies can update posters against phubbing on the website.

C. Alex Haigh, 23, was the first one to find phubbing annoying.

D. Up till now, at least six groups have claimed to support it.

【3】The supermarket assistant refused to serve the woman mainly because _______.

A. the woman buried her face in the mobile phone screen for a very long time

B. the woman ignored respect and manners by focusing only on her phone

C. the assistant lost his patience with the woman who was using her phone

D. it is rare for customers to answer the phone while being served in shops

【4】In the last paragraph, the writer wants to tell readers that ______.

A. one with a mobile phone should mind his/her manners

B. Jane Austen must have worked for Glamour magazine

C. phubbing is going to be forbidden immediately in the UK

D. people with good manners must have good mobile phones

27、How often have you thought: “When I lose this weight, I’ll be more confident and happy”? Yes, you might be, but often the effect is short-lived. You’re then looking for the next thing and the next. 【1】 And that starts with your mindset and becoming healthier and stronger physically and mentally at the same time.

●Develop a healthy attitude towards yourself. Accept yourself as the unique individual you are today. Focus on your own journey, rather than waste time comparing yourself to others. Don’t be mean (刻薄的), critical or judgemental to anyone—including yourself!【2】

●【3】 Be curious about how you honestly feel about yourself, and try to go beyond “I don’t like my body”. Try closing your eyes and slowly focusing on each part of your body and see what thoughts, feelings and emotions arise. We often avoid thoughts’ that are uncomfortable or painful. 【4】 This isn’t about solving them, but exploring them might bring new insight and reduce their power.

●Take action that works for you. 【5】 Building a personal toolkit (工具箱) of exercises to use when your thoughts are slipping to the negative will keep you on track to having a positive body image.

The long-term change will come from the internal work you do. Remember that true beauty is much more than skin deep.

28、   Guo Qilin, 24, an actor and comedian, has been trending on Weibo for his response about love relations on the reality show Heart Signal 3（《心动的信号3》）. "The right time to establish a relationship with a romantic partner should be at a moment when I fear being lonely, and I really need someone to accompany me," he explained.

Qilin's clarity and self-knowledge at such a young age surprised viewers. This has played a key role in Qilin's career as he knows who he is and what he wants.

His father, Guo Degang, 47, is a famous Chinese crosstalk artist. Influenced by his father, Qilin became interested in crosstalk. At the age of 14, he dropped out of school and decided to learn crosstalk instead. Led by his father, Qilin read many books and grasped the basic skills of crosstalk, which laid a solid foundation for his career.

Qilin climbed the ladder to success by working on his self-control and tenacity（韧性）. In order to look better on stage, he lost almost 35kg within one year. "Losing weight is a presentation for actors with good virtues," he said in an interview.

Qilin once ranked first with Yue Yunpeng in the fifth season of Top Funny Comedian. However, it caused much criticism. Viewers thought his achievement should result from his father's fame and Yue's performance. Even so, Qilin has always stayed humble and has been trying to distance himself professionally from his father.

Qilin's turning point came with the drama Joy of Life（《庆余年》）, in which Qilin plays a supporting role as Fan Sizhe, transforming from a god-for-nothing young man from a wealthy family into accomplished businessman. This role earned him a place and respect from professionals as well as the audience.

Now, Qilin's new drama Мy Heroic Husband is set to release this month. It is the first time that Qilin has played a leading role. To make a name for himself and escape his father's shadow, Qilin is diligent on the right track.

【1】What played a key role in Guo Qilin's career?

A.Tenacity. B.Self-control. C.Father's influence. D.Self-knowledge.

【2】Which is NOT the foundation of Qilin's career?

A.He has read a lot of books.

B.He has got his father's guidance.

C.He has made a lot of popular plays.

D.He has mastered the basic skills of crosstalk.

【3】Why did Guo Qilin want to lose weight?

A.To seek for fame. B.To make himself happy.

C.To get a role in a new drama. D.To show respect for the audience.

【4】Which words can be used to describe Guo Qilin?

A.Modest and hardworking. B.Caring and childish.

C.Smart and generous. D.Playful and adventurous.

29、You might think of martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down a river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage: single bamboo drifting (独竹漂).

Over 2,000 years ago, the high-quality wood, nanmu, in Guizhou was in great demand by the royal court in the north. With no better transportation, people had to stand on one log to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became single bamboo drifting because of bamboo’s lower price. Due to various skills it takes for one to master this act, single bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021.

Yang Liu, an inheritor (继承者) of single bamboo drifting, learned it at 7. “Usually, the bamboo under our feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in our hands is about 5 meters. If the length of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not float. Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key, so we should fight against the current (水流) by constantly changing the angle. I lost my balance and fell into the water many times while practicing. Once I fell, I gave it another try until I knew how to handle the most difficult part,” she said.

The love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. Yang also shows creativity when spreading the culture of single bamboo drifting. For example, she includes dance in single bamboo drifting to make it more graceful. As hanfu culture has been on the rise, Yang started wearing hanfu while performing, creating a more beautiful feel. In 2020, Yang began to post her videos on social media. “I’m extremely proud to get the response from viewers that single bamboo drifting makes the line between what is possible and impossible unclear. It’s my mission to keep it alive and make it known to more people,” Yang Liu told China Daily.

【2】What is the biggest challenge in learning single bamboo drifting?

D．Holding the bamboo firmly in hands.

【3】What do the viewers think of single bamboo drifting?
