Where do the colors of your clothes come from The answer is dye （染料）．The clothes we wear today are mainly dyed with chemicals （化学物质）．But in the past, people did this by hand-and the dyes often came from plants．
With a history of more than 1,000 years, tie-dye （扎染） is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China．During Tang and Song dynasties （朝代）, this skill became so popular that people gave tie-dyed clothes to the emperor as gifts．
To tie-dye, you first need to use threads （线） to tie your cloth together．Then put the cloth into the dye．As the cloth is folded and dyed, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color．When you spread the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns．
Yang Cheng, 52, is the inheritor （传承人） of tie-dye in Anning, Yunnan．He learned the skill from his mother in the 1980s．Yang has mastered （掌握） all the old skills of tie-dye．And he has handed them down to his daughter．At the same time, Yang has studied tie-dye in other countries, such as Japan, India and France．He also tries to make some creative designs．Now, Yang teaches tie-dye in schools and communities．More than 100, 000 people have learned from him．
Some might worry that tie-dye will be replaced by machinery dyeing．But Yang is confident．“At the end of the day, machines can’t replace our creative hands,” said Yang.
31．The first paragraph is written to ________.
A．lead into the topic of the passage
B．show different kinds of dye
C．explain why clothes are colorful

D．fold the cloth before dyeing it
34．The writer uses Yang Cheng’s story to ________.

What do you usually do in your spare time Chatting online is now a national pastime in China, especially among the post-90s and post-00s generation．To some people, however, online chats can seem like a kind of polite conversation．Yet hidden rules and standards do exist, as long as you take the time to look for them.
Get to the Point
When sending a friend request, include your real name and any other identifying information．Remember, everybody’s time is precious．If there’s something you want, cut right to the chase．Never send an “Are you there ” without any follow-up messages．The quicker that you get to the point, the more likely the other person is to reply.
Send the Right Things
Please send texts, not voice messages．It might be easier for you to speak than type, but what about the person on the other end They may be unable to listen to a 59-second message right now．Also, never send personal information by voice message—it is hard to note down．Emojis, GIFs and memes can save the day when you find yourself in an embarrassing conversation, or words fail you.
Try to Understand
You can always judge a person’s mood by their text messages．If the person you’re talking to says “Good night” or “I’m going to take a shower.” that’s probably not what they’re actually going to do, it is just an excuse to stop talking to you．If someone hesitates for longer than three seconds before saying “Yes”, they probably really mean “No”．If you receive these emojis from friends who are older, read them literally (照字面地) (as a smile, a wave or a laugh)．For the post-90s and post-00s generation, however, they could be speechlessness.
36．What can you do if there’s something you want when you’re chatting online according to the passage
A．Send an “Are you there ” without any follow-up messages.B．Send a friend request without any other identifying information.
C．Send it directly without any other useless messages.D．Send your real name without any follow-up message.
37．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”.
A．personal information B．voice message C．emoji D．GIF
38．What is the passage mainly about
A．How to get to the point when you’re chatting online.
B．Different good ways of sending the right thing.
C．Hidden rules and standards in chatting online.
D．How to understand others through the messages.
39．What is the writer’s opinion about chatting online
A．Your text messages on the phone will show what you’re feeling.
B．Using too many emojis while chatting will annoy others.
C．Voice messages make it easier for others to understand you.
D．The ways you use to chat are the same as your parents.
White Fang slowly got better and during this time, he did not let anyone near him．Scott wanted to kill him, because his teeth hurt Matt’s hand．But Matt said, “Let's give him more time.” Scott agreed.
A few days later, Scott tried to touch White Fang．He, too, got badly bitten．Instead of getting angry with the dog, however, he walked slowly toward White Fang, holding another piece of meat．When he was quite near the dog, he dropped the meat on the ground and walked away from it．White Fang looked at him and moved toward the meat, expecting Scott to hit him．When Scott did not move, White Fang moved closer to the meat．He still expected Scott to hit him, but Scott did not move．The meat was eaten up.

Every day, Scott touched the dog．White Fang began to like being touched．He began to like this god who gave him meat, touched him gently, and never beat him．As the days passed, White Fang began to love Scott．Even when Scott went away, he stopped eating．He lay quietly, without moving.

阅读下面短文，完成相关任务。
It was early winter several years ago．I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use．It was still in pretty good shape after so many winters’ wear．I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually (不经意地) mentioned it to my daughter one day．She is such a sweet, loving soul that I should have guessed what would happen next．A few weeks later she gave me a gift of a bright red, brand new, winter’s coat.
I put the old one in my closet (壁橱) and started to wear the new coat every day．Each day, though, when I opened my closet something upset me．It seemed a shame that my still good, old coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold, winter days．After a few weeks I took it out and drove to a local charity (慈善机构)．I knew that there someone who couldn’t afford a coat might get my old one．I dropped it off and walked out the door．Then I saw a shivering (瑟瑟发抖的) man in only a thin jacket walking in．I wondered if he would end up in my old coat．Then I smiled and went home with a warm heart.
My new coat is old now．It is in too bad of shape to even give away to charity．I wonder if I should buy a new one soon but I think I will wait a while．I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find a few more things to give to the charity instead.
Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants is to give．Love, after all, brings us the most joy．And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have．May all of your days be full of Warmth! May all of your days be full of Giving! May all of your days be full of Love!
