24、In recent years, red tourism has developed quickly and is expected to become more and more popular as the nation celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China (CPC). And people’s hopes of learning and experiencing revolutionary history and culture have become stronger.

From 2004 to 2019, national red tourism resources continued to increase and tourists visited an increasing number of revolutionary cultural relics. The number of such trips made by people increased from 140 million to 1.4 billion over the same period and more and more people go to these red tourism areas, such as Yan’an in Shanxi Province.

In Pingshan, Hebei Province, where Xibaipo is located, people have depended on red tourism to develop farmhouses, gardens and tourist shops. This has helped to provide jobs for more than 80,000 local people.

Red tourism has not only met people’s travel needs but also their strong wishes for knowledge on revolutionary traditions. This has led to the economic development of old revolutionary areas. As the 100th anniversary of the CPC is coming, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism will further develop red tourism and provide people with better products and services based on Party history education. Protection of revolutionary relics will also become stronger.

25、In our life, we don’t often expressed our gratitude(感激) to the one who’d lived those years with us. In fact, we don’t have to wait for anniversaries to thank the ones closet to us--- the ones so easily overlooked(忽视). If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is time to give it now! While your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it. Saying thanks is such an easy way to add to the world’s happiness.

Saying thanks not only brightens someone else’ world, it brightens yours. If you’re feeling left out, unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just the medicine you need,

Of course, there are times when you can’t express gratitude immediately. In that case don’t let embarrassment sink you into silence--- speak up the first time you have the chance.

Once a young minister, Mark Brian, was sent to a remote parish of Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia. The Indians, he had been told, did not have a word for thanking you. But the Brian soon found these people had exceptional generosity. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to return every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior kindness. They do their thanks.

I wonder if we had no words in our vocabulary for thanking you, would we do a better job of communicating our gratitude? Would we be more responsive, more sensitive, more caring?

【1】What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Thanks for everything.   B. Caring others.   C. Expressing yourself.   D. Helping each other.

【2】What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?

A. Praise thanks.   B. Solve problems in life.

C. Thank everyone.   D. Let the reader know the importance of expressing thanks in life.

【3】Why does the writer give the example in the 4th paragraph?

A. It indicates (显示，指出) the Indians did not thank you.

B. It indicates the Indians didn’t know to thank you.

C. It indicates that thanking you exists everywhere.

D. It indicates that Mark Brian got thanks.

【4】What does the underlined word “left out” in the second paragraph mean?

A. go to another place   B. be ignored   C. give out   D. leave for

26、Because of the outbreak epidemic(疫情), many people look for fun online. Watching livestreaming(直播的)shows has become part of their lives. At the same time, traditional culture has found a bigger stage(舞台)online. Many traditional artists are starting to livestream like Douyin and Bilibili. Some of them sing Peking Opera, some show their folk handicrafts(民间手工艺), while others perform Chinese classical music. A growing number of young people are starting to become more interested in traditional culture because of livestreaming.

Li Jun is a Peking Opera performer with the Shanghai Jingju Theater Company. After the outbreak, the 59-year-old took up his smart phone and started livestreaming.

On March 26th, 2020, Bilibili livestreamed a huafu show on the third China Huafu Day(中国华服日). Performers presented clothes in traditional Chinese styles, including those from Wei, Tang and Ming dynasties (朝代). During the show, viewers not only enjoyed looking at the clothes, but also watched how performers used ancient styles of make-up(古代化妆术).
