He also won a special prize for his performance of Chopin's mazurkas(马祖卜舞曲). Almost overnight, he became a national hero. To China, Mr. Fou's recognition in a well-known international competition was proof that the country could stand on its own artistically in the West. Chine reporters flocked to interview Mr. Fou, while many oth
ers sought out his father, Fu Lei, for advice on child-rearing.
In 1981, a volume of letters written by his father, primarily to Mr. Fou, was published in China. Full of advice, encouragement, life teachings and strict paternal love, the book Fu Lei's Family, Letters became a best-ller in China. Besides influencing a generation of Chine, Mr. Fu's words resonated(共鸣)long after his death with the person for whom they were intended.
"My father had a saying that 'First you must be a person, then an artist, and then a musician, and only then can you be a pianist.'" Mr. Fou once recalled in an interview. "Even now, I believe in this order-that it should be this way and that I am this way."

Scientists today are concerned about the growing number of species in the world that may soon become extinct. The United Nations, along with many governments, are trying to save the endangered species. To help resolve this issue, scientists have been trying to learn why species become endangered.
In the United States, loss of habitats is the main reason for species becoming endangered. As populations grow and cities or towns expand, nature is destroyed and the ecosystem is affected. Even small changes in one part of an ecosystem can have a big impact on another part of it. For example, deforestation may result in a change in ground temperature, which may kill off a certain kind of plant in the forest. Animals that eat this plant may suddenly find that there is no available food so they starve to death.
Another possible cau of endangered or extinct species is climate change and rising a levels. As the Earth gets warmer, this has profound effects on animal and plant life everywhere. For example, rising a levels make coastal areas unfit for birds to live in. Warmer temperatures melt the ice wher
e polar bears live, wrecking their habitat and making it harder for them to find food. The rising as also make it harder for polar bears to swim from the cold waters to frozen packs of ice so many of them drown.
There are veral ways that people are trying to help endangered species recover. Ecologists study different species and try to find out more information about them to try and help. In Finland, for example, scientists found that a a decrea in the number of bogs(沼泽) was responsible for the falling butterfly population. Once they understood this, they could manage the butterfly population and help it recover. Governments are also passing laws to protect endangered animals. One example of this is an area near Hawaii with a riously low fish population. The United States’ government has made it illegal for fishing boats to enter this area.
8．What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A．Most endangered species are located in the United States.
B．Cities and towns in the United States are growing too fast.
C．Ecosystem changes can result in habitat loss and animal death.
D．More trees need to be planted to prevent animals from dying out.
9．What does the underlined word “wrecking” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Saving Endangered Species B．A List of Endangered Species
C．The Caus of Global Warming D．How Polar Bears Became Extinct 11．What will the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A．Some other ways to help endangered species recover.

We’ve all had a guilty pleasure or two. Maybe it was an awkward TV show that we enjoyed a little bit too much, maybe a song we listened to ironically until it became a bit too unironic. Perhaps a snack so disgusting it wound up coming back around to be delicious, or a movie so egregious that it ended up being a fantastic watch. Though we often wonder why we enjoy the things, we should really be asking ourlves why we feel guilty for enjoying them.
With the obvious exception of things that are harmful to people, our harsh judgment toward ourlves and others over what we enjoy does nothing but harm our individual expression and enjoyment.
It’s natural to want to appear “cool” to other people — whatever that may mean to you. With the cultural tendency and the means to share literally anything and everything you enjoy via social media, we perfectly curate (管理) the media we consume to match some sort of imagined ideal aesthetic (美学) —a trap that’s much too easy to fall into. Don’t fall into the trap!
My point is, the things that hold us back from openly enjoying our “guilty pleasures” often come from completely unfounded places. This is especially true that a teenage girl would rather be misunderstood than admit she likes pink. Frankly, what’s the point? Who are you proving yourlf to,
and why do you feel the need to? If you’re not harming anyone, and you are getting happiness from something, then why bother holding yourlf back from it just to prerve some kind of curated image of who you’re suppod to be?
Life is hard enough as it is. If you’ve found something that eas the stress of life even just a little bit, hold onto it for dear life. Marathon the Twilight movies. Read a super tacky (俗气的) romance novel. Throw that guilt right out of the window with absolutely no regrets, and do whatever it is that makes you happy.
动力圈8．What does the underlined word “egregious” mean in the first paragraph?
A．Moving. B．Unpopular. C．Thrilling. D．Unbearable. 9．What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A．Most people want to gain recognition from others.
B．Social media has a bad impact on lf-recognition.
C．Culture tendency ts a standard for ideal aesthetic.
D．People enjoy curating the media that they consume.

10．What would hold us back from enjoying “guilty pleasure”?
A．The desire to lead a simple life. B．The intention to show off ourlves. C．The need to admit that we like pink. D．The purpo to guard our ideal image. 11．Which of the following may the author agree with?
A．Find ways to overcome hard life.
B．Set ourlves free from fixed opinions.
C．Have an in-depth lf-talk to find our souls.

He had begun preparing for the Qomolangma climb in 2019. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病), all mountaineering teams on Qomolangma were canceled in Nepal and China last year, and he had to wait until recently to finally make the attempt.

British chip maker Walkers is being flooded with mail deliveries of its own packaging. An online petition (请愿) with more than 312,000 signatures so far urges signers to mail their empty chip plastic bags to Walkers as an act of protest against the bags’ non-recyclable design.
As petition organizer Geraint Ashcroft explained, the majority of chip packets, made from metallized plastic, are not recyclable and have been found fully undamaged up to 33 years after consumption. The UK alone consumes 6 billion bags of chips a year, and Walkers turns out 11 million bags daily. Ashcroft wrote, “At today’s consumption rate in 33 years’ time, there will be 200 billion packets either nt to landfill or polluting our oceans. Many will be eaten by animals fish or birds leading to a slow death.”
Mailing the bags to Walkers is a way to hold the company accountable for its packaging and to pressure it to come up with a better design. Becau Walkers has what’s known as a’Freepost’ address,the Royal Mail postal rvice is obligated (有义务的) to deliver anything that is addresd correctly —even if it’s an empty chip bag. But it is controversial. Royal Mail isn’t happy about it,asking people to put their chip bags in an envelope to help with ea of delivery. Critics on Twitter question the logic of buying a product in order to protest against its producer and suggest that giving up chips altogether would improve one’s health as well as the environment.
Walkers issued a statement on Wednesday, saying it will make its packaging plastic-free by 2025.“We have received some returned packets and recognized the efforts being made to bring the issue of packaging waste to our attention. The returned packets will be ud in our rearch as we work towards our commitment of improving the recyclability of our packaging.”
28．Why do people mail their empty chip bags to Walkers?
拿什么拯救你
A．To make Walkers u them once more. B．To exchange them for some new chips.
