Its a bit of a popularity contest as the bigger the pile of broken china is the next morning, the more friends and good luck youll have in the coming year.Germany: Pouring leadIn Germany, people melt small pieces of lead in a spoon over a candle, then pour the liquid into cold water. The shapes from the lead pouring are supposed to reveal what the year ahead will bring.

The tradition dates from 1909 when farmers in Alicante came up with this idea to sell more grapes after an exceptional harvest.Philippines: Round food, round clothes, round everythingIn the Philippines, the start of the new year is all about the money.

Entertainment.BZhang Shuai has a sense of fun that is being widely appreciated on the internet. When deliverymen bring cardboard boxes to his doorstep, Zhang soon builds them into interactive toys for his daughter Nini, who is 5.The 32-year-old father from Zhengzhou, Henan Province, has made more than 120 toys from waste cardboard in the past three years. His toy-making videos have gone viral (走红) on the internet and many netizens comment that it shows an environment-friendly way to spend quality time with children.

Ideal for students with limited options as after-school study spaces. And relatively cheap.The demand for study lounges rose in China because students can hardly find a peaceful place to study after finishing classes. Before 2018, there were few study lounges in China, and the few that existed were mainly in first- and second-tier cities such as Guangzhou, Suzhou and Tianjin. Yet by 2019, they had become popular nationwide.But the pandemic (流行病) has dealt a blow to the industry. Since personal contact in a closed environment is unavoidable, the pandemic forced all study lounges to shut down for several months. Lou Qingxiao,founder of Xinliuzaowu, one of Beijings earliest study lounge brands that opened in 2018, said their first study lounge near Renmin University of China had made ends meet before the pandemic. Li Hang and Zhang Yang, co-founders of Sishiloushi, a Beijing-based independent study lounge, said that even before COVID-19 broke out, the industrys profit was neither promising nor clear, let alone in such a particular period.“Rent is a major fixed cost for study lounges, especially in first-tier cities,” Lou said. In a first-tier city such as Beijing, rentals comprise more than a half of a study lounges monthly operation cost. But Lou sounds optimistic about the industry commercial prospects, “because its a blue ocean with less competition.”Study lounges provide a better learning experience that people cannot get in free public libraries. “Privately operated study lounges like ours actually make up for the shortage of public infrastructure (基础设施) and public services and we are willing to cooperate with the government to better serve the public.” Li said.28. What contributes to the rise of study lounges in China?A. The rapid development of cities.B. The shrinking number of libraries.C. The need for a peaceful study environment.D. The lack of alternative after-school activities.29. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The earliest study lounge brands in China. B. A guideline on finding famous study lounges.C. An introduction to the founders of study lounges.D. The influence of the pandemic on study lounges.30. What does Lou Qingxiao think of the future of the study lounge?A. It is promising. B. It is unclear.C. It will be full of competition.D. It will be free of rent. 31. What can we infer about the operation of study lounges from the last paragraph?A. Government involvement is welcome.B. The infrastructure construction is needed.C. Study lounges should be privately operated.D. Cooperation with public libraries has been achieved.DDogs cant speak, but their brains respond to spoken words. Every dog owner knows that saying “Good dog!” in a happy, high voice will make their pet joyfully wag its tail. That made scientists curious: What exactly happens in your dogs brain when it hears praise, and is it similar to the way our own brain processes such information?When a person gets others compliment, the more primitive, subcortical auditory regions (皮层下听觉区) first reacts to the intonation the emotional force of spoken words. Next, the brain taps the more recently evolved auditory cortex (听觉皮层) to figure out the meaning of the words, which is learned.In 2016, a team of scientists discovered that dogs brains, like those of humans, compute the intonation and meaning of a word separately although dogs use their right brain to do so, whereas we use our left one. Still, a puzzle remained: Do their brains go through the same steps to process approval?Its an important question, because dogs are a speechless species, yet they respond correctly to our words. For instance, some dogs are capable of recognising thousands of names of individual objects, and can link each name to a specific object.When the scientists studied scans of the brains of pet dogs, they found that theirs, like ours, process the sounds of spoken words in this manner analyzing first the emotional component with the older region of the brain, the subcortical regions, and then the words meaning with the newer part, the cortex. See why dogs are so successful at partnering with us? Dogs and humans last shared a common ancestor some 100 million years ago, so its likely that our brains respond to sounds in a similar way. As domesticated animals that have evolved alongside humans for the past 10,000 years, dogs make special use of it to process human emotions. You know, what we say really matters to dogs!32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “compliment”?A. Reply. B. Praise.C. Warning.D. Advice.33. What is the first step a dogs brain goes through to process approval?A. Linking it to an object.B. Analyzing the emotion.C. Working out its meaning. D. Tapping the auditory cortex.34. How does the writer develop the text?A. By comparing opinions.B. By raising examples.C. By providing answers to questions.D. By analyzing causes and effects.35. What is the best title for the text? A. Dogsgood listeners B. Dogsperfect partners C. Dogs and humans share a common ancestor actuallyD. Dogs understand spoken words the same way we do第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Children learn who they are and how to identify, value, and communicate needs and feelings through interactions with their parents. 36 Here are several key things to ensure your children grow into independent adults.Allow freedom of information. One of the main characteristics of healthy families is freedom to express thoughts and observations. 37 For instance, forbidding mentioning of daddys drinking teaches children to be fearful and doubt themselves. Children are naturally curious about everything. This is healthy and should be encouraged.Accept your childrens feelings. Many clients tell me that they werent allowed to express anger, complain, feel sad or even get excited. 38 This becomes problematic in their adult relationships and can lead to depression. Allowing children to express their feelings provides a healthy outlet. Respect your childrens boundaries. Respecting childrens thoughts and feelings is a way of respecting boundaries. Verbal abuse and attacks violate their boundaries, so does unwanted touch. Additionally, childrens property, space and privacy should be respected. 39 40 Children need a safe, predictable and fair environment. When rules and punishments are arbitrary or inconsistent, instead of learning from mistakes, children will become angry and anxious, and learn to distrust their parents. The best rules and punishments should relate to natural consequences of the wrong-doing, rather than mere physical punishments.A. They learned to restrict their feelings.B. Have reasonable, explicit, consistent rules and punishments. C. Allow children appropriate responsibility and independence.D. Secrets and no-talk rules are common in unhealthy families.E. Thus, how you communicate with your children is significant.F. Therefore, you can
