“In this life, what did you miss ” The wife asked the husband when she was 25. The husband replied, “I missed a new job opportunity.” When the wife was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus. At 45, the husband said sadly, “I missed the opportunity to see my close relative before his last breath.” At 55, the husband said he missed a good chance to retire (退休). At 65, the husband complained, “I missed a dental appointment (牙科预约).” At 75, the wife did not ask the husband any more and the husband was kneeling in front of the very sick wife.
This time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied, “In this life, I did not miss having you!” The husband’s eyes were full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy. So much so that he had never been thoughtful to his wife. The husband hugged the wife tightly. “How did I allow myself to miss your deep love for me for 50 years ” he asked himself.
In the busy city life, many people are always busy with work and neglect (忽视) the loved ones who care for them. But life is not permanent (永恒的), so always live in the moment. Express thanks to your loved ones in words. Show your care with actions. Treat every day as the last day of life. In this way, when your loved ones are gone, you will have nothing to feel sorry about.

Once you begin to eat potato chips, you may keep eating until the bag is empty. Have you ever experienced this Why can’t you stop eating these salty chips Scientists said it is due to a kind of neuron (神经元).
Scientists at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston have found that some neurons can make us want to eat salt.
The neurons take note of whether our bodies are lacking sodium (钠), a main part of salt. Then, they send signals (信号) to our brain to encourage us to eat more salt, according to the Daily Mail.
How do these neurons work
Scientists did experiments on mice. They found that when mice lack sodium, their body gives off a kind of hormone (荷尔蒙) called aldosterone (醛固酮). This hormone then makes these neurons become active.
More research showed that adding salt to meals makes people enjoy their food more, Time magazine reported. This may cause people to continue eating even if they are full.
Scientists from Deakin University in Australia asked healthy people to eat the same food for lunch for four weeks. The amount of salt in the food was changed each week. At the same time, the scientists measured how much these people ate. They also asked the people how they felt about the meals; for example, if they felt happy or were still hungry after eating.
The results showed that salt made people eat 11 percent more food and calories. When eating low-salt meals, they could control(控制) over how much they ate. “But when we add salt to that food, all of a sudden those controls are gone,” researcher Russell Keast said to Time.
( )53. We may find it hard to stop eating potato chips mainly because _____.
A. potato chips don’t have much sodium
B. potato chips send hungry signals to our brain
C. some neurons lead to a love for salty foods
D. people’s brains will be more active with more salt
( )54. Scientists from Deakin University found that _____.
A. mice also need salt B. more salt makes people eat more
C. not all people like salty food D. people are not happy when they eat less
( )55. What advice might the writer give
A. People should eat more chips. B. More salt should be taken in to stay healthy.
C. Salt can make food more delicious. D. Low-salt meals can help us stay healthy.
( )56. You might see this story in _____.
A. a road map B. a math report C. a science magazine D. a storybook
D
You may think you cannot live through summer without air conditioners (空调). But in ancient China, hand fans were almost the only help for people to drive the heat away.
Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made from all kinds of materials (材料). Palm leaf (棕榈叶) fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans showed the owner’s high status (地位). Sandalwood (檀香) fans could send out a sweet smell.
Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into artworks, in which tuanshan (round fans) and zheshan (folded fans) were the most common.
In the shape of a full moon, tuanshan was usually made of silk. They had beautiful embroidery (刺绣) of birds and flowers on them. Women, especially those in the imperial palace (皇宫), liked to use them. Poets in ancient China often compared a woman’s abandoned fate (被抛弃的命运) to tuanshan. Nalan Xingde wrote during the Qing Dynasty, “If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans (人生若只如初见，何事秋风悲画扇？)”
However, men, especially the literati (文人), used zheshan, or folded fans. The literati liked them because zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to show off their talents in literature, painting and calligraphy (书法). Almost anything can be painted on zheshan, but the most popular ones usually featured landscapes (以风景画为特色).
Today, Chinese people still use these fans, only not many write or paint on them any more. So the next time you use a fan, you may think of the stories behind it.
( )57. What do we know about hand fans
A. People mainly used fans with sweet smells 2000 years ago. B. There were two shapes of hand fans.
C. They can be made from different materials. D. They become more popular recently.
( )58. According to the story, _____.
A. palm leaf fans were seen as a symbol of rich people
B. sandalwood fans were cheap and easy to make
C. both tuanshan and zheshan were feather fans
D. tuanshan and zheshan became artworks
( )59. The poem in the fourth paragraph tells readers _____.
A. what tuanshan looked like B. why women liked tuanshan
C. tuanshan were popular among poets D. tuanshan had a special meaning in poems
( )60. What do we know about zheshan
a. Zheshan were made for the literati. b. Most zheshan were made of paper.
c. People could write and paint on them. d. The literati could paint nothing but landscapes on them.
A. ab B. bc C. cd D. ad

（一）回答问题（每小题2分，计10分，答案不超过6词）。
You may have seen such a photo: with a long white beard(胡须) and wearing a bamboo hat, an old fisherman sits on a boat. Huang Quande looked like this when tourists took photos with him on the Lijiang River in Guilin, Guangxi. He became so famous online that many believed the fisherman on the back of the 20-yuan renminbi banknote(纸币) was based on him Sadly, Huang died at the age of 94 on Feb 1, 2023.
Huang gave up fishing and became a photo model in 2008. He showed the true spirit(精神) of Lijiang River---being positive and friendly. In his 90s, Huang could still move his boat with speed.
The image of the fisherman on the back of the 20-yuan banknote is not just about one man. Instead, it is a cultural symbol of Guilin landscape(风景) commented Guangming Daily.
In fact, the different backsides of the fifth series of renminbi banknotes show the most iconic(标志性的) landscapes in China. Each of them carries its own cultural value. For example on the back of the 5-yuan banknote is Mount Tai in Shandong. In ancient times many emperors would go there and pray(祈祷) for the country. On the back of the 1-yuan banknote are the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon(三潭映月) in West Lake, Zhejiang. It is a great place for moon watchers during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Because of the renminbi pictures, these places have attracted more tourists than before. Following the banknotes from 1 yuan to 100, Pan Jinyu from Chongqing had a "banknote tour" when he was 21. "I want to finish a ceremonial(有仪式感的) journey and feel the beauty of our country" Pan told Chongqing Economic Times.
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
91. When did the old fisherman die __________________________________________________________
92. What is the true spirit of Lijiang River _____________________________________________________
93. On which banknote is the picture of Mount Tai in Shandong ____________________________________
94. Why are there more tourists than before in these places ________________________________________
95. What do you think of these renminbi pictures ________________________________________________
