Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China's first Olympic
gold in the sport on Tuesday. By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager landed the
biggest prize so far in his young career—gold in the men's Big Air at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The notable achievement realized a childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began
to learn at the age of 4.
Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his superb
Olympic debut（首秀）as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile.
"This feels so surreal that I've finally accomplished what I've dreamed of since I was little," said an
emotional Su.
Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the
swiftest rises to prominence the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its
first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn't even make the final runs. Just
over two years later, Su is the name on everyone's lips at the venue's Olympic debut—drawing the
whole nation's attention to the sport he loves.
'The biggest motivation （动力）for me is my love for snowboarding," Su said, when asked
about the secret to his success. "In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity.
Every time I ride my board, it's always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire
more young people to get interested in the sport."
Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage
him to seek for more breakthroughs — even beyond his athletic career. "I enjoy snowboarding just
as much as I enjoy acting；" said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. UI think I still have a lot of possibilities
to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the
moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift."
24. What does the underlined word “landed” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Arrived. B. Gained. C. Created. D. Dreamed.
25. According to Su himself, what is his secret to his success
A. His acting experience. B. His talent and hard working.
C. His passion for snowboarding. D. His life dream of achieving success.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Su
A. Talented and thoughtful. B. Generous and productive.
C. Creative and kind-hearted. D. Hard-working and devoted.
27. What's Su's attitude toward his future
A. Upset. B. Hopeful. C. Anxious. D. Careful.

Live streaming（直播）is booming, with viewers watching nearly 4 billion hours of live stream,
in the gaming sector alone, in 2020.
To stream or not to stream—that is the question with over 50 million American online creators.
With over seven-in-ten people in the US using social media such as YouNow, Facebook Live,
YouTube Live and Twitch, sharing a moment, routine, or an exciting experience with others has
never been easier for US streamers.
For some, the motivation to live stream is for the fun of it, while others are seeking to become
the next celebrity（名人）.
Back in 2016, researchers studied live streams originating from the US, Japan and Germany on
the platforms YouNow, Periscope and UStream. They found a wide variety of motivations driving
each streamer, with a large majority using live streaming services for their own entertainment.
The main motive of US streamers was to reach a specific target group, for example, by
performing music. Their goal was to improve their personal image and to cultivate their fan base.
On the other hand, socializing was the main motivation for Japanese streamers. The need to
communicate with their audience was especially strong. Finally, German streamers, primary
motivations were to relieve their boredom. And they're not alone. Boredom was also a strong
motivator found in both American and Japanese streamers back in 2016. Simply put, many people
turned to live streaming to help pass the time and to relieve their boredom.
And then there's a new type of live streaming where streamers don't perform for, interact or
even communicate with their viewers. Instead, the live stream broadcasts uninterrupted everyday
activities such as sleeping and studying. Streamers position their cameras on their beds and go to
sleep. In February 2020, Chinese streamer YuanSan broadcast his 2-day “sleep-stream” which, to
his surprise, attracted 18 million viewers. In an interview, YuanSan claimed that his motivation was
to relieve his boredom. "I was so bored that I decided to live stream myself sleeping. What I
discovered was that viewers on the internet were even more bored than I was.”
32. What is the probable reason for the rise of live streaming in the US
A. The fast network connections. B. Streamers' desire to share.
C. People's need for entertainment. D. The huge number of online viewers.
33. Why do most people want to live stream in 2016
A. To enjoy themselves. B. To make money. C. To make friends. D. To be famous. 34. What is
Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Various ways of streaming. B. Positive influences of streaming.
C. Great achievements of streamers. D. Different motivations of streamers.
35. Which of the following statements could YuanSan agree with
A. It is boring to stream online. B. Streaming can improve his sleep.
C. Streaming can help relieve boredom. D. It is important to communicate with viewers.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。
What is the best sleep position for your health
It's difficult to control what sleeping position we naturally fell into, as our body will
subconsciously fall into the most comfortable position for us. However, some positions are better
for you than others and some could hold back your health and wellbeing. 36
If you sleep on your side
More than 60 per cent of people sleep on their side. Often our body naturally moves to this
position, which is linked to when we were in the womb in the foetal（胎儿的）position. 37 It offers
a number of benefits to your body, from promoting healthy spine alignment（脊椎对齐）which can
help to prevent back pain to reducing heartburn and snoring（打鼾）.
If you sleep on your back
Lying on your back is the second most popular sleeping position and offers just as many
benefits as side sleeping. When you're sleeping on your back, it's easy to keep alignment and to also
evenly distribute your weight. 38
If you sleep on your stomach
Sleeping on your stomach is the least common sleeping position. 39 And those who sleep on
their stomach could put themselves at risk of a less restful night's sleep. The stomach offers the least
amount of back support and can increase pressure on the spine which may cause pain once you wake
up.
40 You should consider various factors such as if you snore or suffer sleep problems, or if you
often have back and neck pain. Side sleeping has been noted as the best position for the body, so this
is probably one to try and get into the habit of trying, but again, it all depends on you.
A. This also helps to prevent any neck and back pain.
B. Sleeping on your side is probably the best position.
C. Side sleeping would be particularly beneficial for older people.
D. There are more negatives to this position compared to positives.
E. Determining the sleeping position for you is personal preference.
F. Here, this article reveals exactly how your sleep position is affecting your health.
G. This is mostly likely because it is one of the most comfortable sleeping positions.

Dear David,
It’s natural that you find it hard to choose a suitable club from so many ones. But I think our Calligraphy Club
can be a good choice.
We meet once a week, usually on Thursday afternoon at the school art room, where we practice, share and
discuss our handwriting. Occasionally, we invite experts to give us professional instructions. You’ll learn how to
write characters with a brush, starting with basic strokes. It can be both entertaining and educational.
You are most welcome to join our great team!
Yours,

for trash. This is a new way to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more.
The founder of the “Trash Library” is Reden Roro Hendarti. Every weekday, Reden fills her tricycle with
books and rides to the village of Muntang. She exchanges books for plastic cups, bags, and other waste
from the children living there. Reden collects about 100 kilograms of trash each week, which is then sorted
out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold. Reden weighs the collected trash daily to record how
much has accumulated over the months. She has a stock of 6,000 books to lend and wants to take the
mobile service to neighboring areas as well.
The idea behind the small mobile library is well received by the children. Kevin is an 11-year-old reader in
the village. “When there is too much trash, our environment will become dirty and it’s not healthy. That’s
why I look for trash to borrow a book,” he says.
