At the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, among mountain songs and ethnic costumes and special ceremonies, I am noticeable despite my modern dress, as my green “VOLUNTEER” nametag brands me as a perfect target for curious tourists. I have volunteered to learn about global customs; my knowledge of my native culture is limited. I had boxed up my past before moving to America eight years ago, when a new continent considered my old self foreign.
Here on the National Mall, I am the only means of communication between the Americans and the artisan (工匠), who were invited from China to display their talents. They see my awkward hand gestures (手勢(shì)) as I test my mother tongue, speaking Mandarin (普通話) and putting it into English for visitors.
The artisans have exceptional skills. He Guoyao can read thousands of pictographic characters (象形文字) and bears the duty of passing on Dongba culture. Cheng Zhirong creates fantastic animal figures with a spoon and melted sugar in minutes. Standing among them, I wonder about the contributions a 16-year-old girl can make.
“Oh, it’s so pretty!” A young girl sticks her nose close to a sugar dragon. Zhirong, the candy maker, signals to me, and I explain to the girl that the dragon is pure sugar. “Mommy, it’s candy!” she excitedly says. “Beautiful...” The crowd breathes in awe. One woman taps me on the shoulder, saying, “Please, tell her that her work is unbelievable... a gift from another world.”
As Zhirong takes my hand and calls me “l(fā)ittle sister”, I find my place in this group of extraordinary people who crossed oceans to build a bridge between different ethnicities and nationalities through sugar sculptures and painted words. I, too, am a bearer of traditions.
I smile at Guoyao, as he paints in pictographic characters the English words I have taught him, “You’re welcome.” I come to know that culture is not shelved behind glass cases in museums. It is in the life that I once thought backward and uninteresting—the Chinese way of life that is a part of me.
24. Why does the author attend the Smithsonian Folklife Festival?
A. To learn about global traditions. B. To improve her interpersonal skills.
C. To interview some talented artisans. D. To enjoy the wonderful artworks.
25. What is the author’s role on the National Mall?
A. A visitor. B. A translator. C. A tour guide. D. A security guard.
26. What does the underlined part “in awe” in Paragraph 4 mean?

27. What does the author think of Chinese culture?
A. It is part of her life. B. It is presented in different ways.
C. It can be kept alive through exchanges. D. It has helped her better adapt to the new life.

Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to questioning guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role—showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget (緊張的預(yù)算).
In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s learnt into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam, 14, Finn, 13, and Jack, 11.
“We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,” she explains. “I pay £5 for a portion (一份), but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.”
The eight-part series, Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.
With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week. In tonight’s Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget. The team transforms the family’s long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still tasty recipes.

Mushrooms (蘑菇) usually grow on dark, damp forest floors or fallen tree branches. Now a company in Abu Dhabi has found a way to grow them in the middle of the desert.
Below Farm is producing special mushrooms. Co-founder Bronte Weir says the indoor farm, about 45 minutes’ drive from downtown Abu Dhabi, is the first in the region to grow and sell high-end mushrooms. Below Farm’s offerings are better than imported mushrooms, she says, because mushrooms lose their freshness quickly.
Weir co-founded the company in 2021, in cooperation with Liliana Slowinska and Wojciech Slowinski. They mainly sell the mushrooms to restaurants and stores. Also, they sell mushrooms directly to customers.
Weir says that existing indoor mushroom-growing technology, developed mainly in Europe and the United States, isn’t designed for Abu Dhabi’s high daytime temperatures, which can top 40℃ in summer.
Wojciech Slowinski took the lead in developing a solution. The farm consists of four special chambers (室) covered in a foot-deep layer of insulation (隔熱材料層) to help keep the space cool. “We can create the right conditions for each type of mushroom,” says Weir. Maintaining higher air pressure inside the rooms helps to protect the crops from Abu Dhabi’s winds and dust.
Raj Dagstani, who runs a restaurant, is a fan of Below Farm. “The best-tasting pizza on the menu is the mushroom,” says Dagstani, adding that he created the dish after he tried out Below Farm’s mushrooms. He now orders 20 kilograms of mushrooms a week from the company. According to market intelligence experts, the global mushroom market grew by over 9% last year and continues to expand, partly due to the popularity of plant-based diets.
32. Where does Below Farm probably lie?
A. In a place away from the city. B. In the center of the city.
C. In the forest. D. In the grassland.
33. What does Bronte Weir do?
A. A partner in Below Farm. B. A farmer in Abu Dhabi.
C. A manager of a restaurant. D. A scientist in farming.
34. What can we learn about the new indoor mushroom-growing technology?
A. It provides fresh air inside the rooms. B. It helps keep the heat out of the chambers.
C. It increases the mushroom varieties. D. It offers a new way to keep mushrooms fresh.
35. What can be inferred from Raj Dagstani’s words?
A. Plant-based diets become more popular. B. His restaurant sells the best-tasting pizza.
C. The global mushroom market is promising. D. Below Farm’s mushrooms are of high quality.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
It’s easy to stick to eating the same foods every day, especially if you love them. 36
Eating the same foods can lead to nutritional (營(yíng)養(yǎng)的) shortage. Our bodies need a wide range of nutrients, and eating a wide variety of foods can help us meet our body’s needs. 37 Almost everyone would agree that “eat the rainbow” is a good rule of thumb. Don’t forget frozen vegetables are just as healthy as fresh ones and they don’t spoil quickly.
Your immune (免疫) system will get hurt if you keep eating the same foods. According to a study published in British Journal of Nutrition, the enhanced nutrition from a varied diet seems to boost (促進(jìn)) immunity. 38 People whose diets have little variation are more likely to get sick due to a weakened immune system.
Sticking to eating the same foods leads to food boredom. 39 It should be something you look forward to. Changing up what you eat exposes you to great new foods and new recipes, and helps bring back the fun in eating.
40 We see a lot of people focus on a single nutrient or food because it attracts media fame. And while all foods are to be celebrated for their unique nutritional quality, assigning yourself to a limited list of foods because they are the most well-known or well described will close you off from various other important nutrients.
A. Food should be fun!
B. This helps people resist diseases.
C. But it may not be the best thing for your health.
D. You should eat a plant-based diet and eat less meat.
E. Eating the same foods limits your nutritional sources.
F. Though tasty, they can’t provide the nutrition you need.
G. Eat the colors of the rainbow when it comes to fruit and vegetables.

Under the Christmas tree, I saw a set of blue tea cups. It had been on my 41 for Santa. The red gift note 42 : “To Susan from Santa.” It wasn’t china, simply a plastic toy, but I loved it as if it were the 43 thing.
That Christmas morning I thought I would surprise Dad by 44 him a cup of coffee with my new gift. With tea cups in hand, I rushed off to the 45 .
As a 5-year-old kid, I wasn’t allowed to 46 anything hot on the stove (爐子). I broke the rule and got the coffee pot. I carefully 47 the coffee, then added a bit of milk and sugar. I also poured myself a drop of coffee with a lot of milk, so we could have a “tea party”.
Carefully carrying the tray (托盤(pán)) with our tea cups to the living room, I found Dad 48 in his favorite chair reading a newspaper. I 49 served him his coffee. “Daddy, your coffee is OK,” I announced.
Dad looked up at his little girl. “How 50 , young lady,” he thanked me and 51 his tea cup.
I noticed the tea cup seemed too 52 for him, though it was just the right size for me. I drank my milk with coffee as Dad sipped (抿) his coffee. I could 53 the plastic tea cup had a 54 plastic taste as I sipped.
But Dad didn’t seem to 55 —he just continued drinking his coffee, down to the last 56 . He smiled as he placed the 57 cup on the tray saying, “That’s good.” I 58 he was just being nice, drinking the bitter-tasting coffee because he didn’t want to hurt my heart.
That morning I learned a 59 from Dad: Sometimes we need to be nice and act in good 60 even if life, in the moment, doesn’t really taste good.
