22、A 63-year-old Chinese carpenter’s traditional skills have become an unexpected Internet hit as he creates woodwork with a single piece of wood, without glue, screws or nails. Wang De wen, known as “Grandpa Amu” on YouTube, has been praised as the modern day Lu Ban, a well-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty, thanks to his rich carpentry(木工手艺) knowledge.

Grandpa Amu’s most popular video, which shows him making a delicate wooden arch bridge, has gone viral on YouTube, gaining more than 40 million views. “If you do something, you have to love it, and you have to be interested in it; however, being interested doesn’t mean there’s only happiness and no pain.” Grandpa Amu shared when talking about his excellent carpentry skills.

His most popular works include a folding stool, a model of the China pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo, and an apple-shaped interlocking puzzle, known as a Lu Ban lock. Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon(榫卯) technique, which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge.

The master carpenter has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique. His young grandson’s favorites include a walking Peppa Pig and a bubble blowing machine. Attracting over 1.17 million fans on YouTube, Grandpa Amu’s videos so far have gained more than 200 million views.

His wonderful woodworking skills, using the same mortise and tenon joints found in the Forbidden City, were developed from the age of thirteen as a way of supporting his family in East China’s Shandong Province. “The grandson is so happy, as there have been so many fine and unique toys made by grandpa from an early age,” commented one netizen; while another said “It’s amazing. I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on!”

23、   Time magazine’s tradition —“Person of the Year” originated in 1927, when it honored 25-year-old pilot Charles Lindbergh for the first nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean Though the magazine has recognized several young people for their global influence, it has never given the important honor to a teenager. But its 2019’s “Person of The Year” is the 16-year-old Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg.

Thunberg’s rise to global reputation is even more surprising given that just over a year ago, she was a shy 15-year-old anxious about the increasing threat of climate change. In August 2018, tired of the “refusal” of world leaders to take action, the young girl started camping out in front of the Swedish Parliament every Friday with a sign that said: “School Strike for Climate.”

The teen’s act of protest soon drew public attention, inspiring kids and adults worldwide to take action. By September 2018, her weekly strike became a global climate change movement called “Fridays for the Future”, with tens of thousands of students skipping school on this day to protest the inaction of the leaders of their respective countries. Her appeal for progress in environment protection also encouraged other young activists to begin their own climate change movements.

Varshini Prakash, co-founder of the US Youth-Led Sunrise Movement, says Thunberg “symbolizes the suffering, the frustration, the desperation, the anger — at some level, the hope — of many young people who won’t even be of age to vote by the time their futures are doomed.”

The teenager, who has single-handedly helped bring climate change to the forefront of the global conversation, owes her success to her Asperger’s syndrome (阿斯佩各综合征). She says, “I see the world in black and white, and I don’t like compromising. If I were like everyone else, I would have continued on and not seen this crisis. Right now, we have entered a new decade — a decade that will define our future. And I’ve seen hope, but it does not come from the governments or companies. It comes from the people.”

【1】Why did Greta Thunberg camp out in front of Swedish Parliament every Friday?

A.To heighten public awareness of environmental protection.

B.To show her support for school strike for climate.

C.To condemn the government’s inaction on climate change.

D.To win a global reputation as a teenager climate change activist.

【2】Where can we find the direct influence of Greta Thunberg’s behavior?

A.In paragraph2. B.In paragraph3.

C.In paragraph4. D.In paragraph5.

【3】What kind of girl is Greta Thunberg according to the passage?

A.Positive and sensitive. B.Uncaring but reliable.

C.Selfish but intelligent. D.Brave and determined.

【4】We can learn from the passage that _____________.

A.Charles Lindbergh is the first adolescent “Person of the Year” of Time magazine

B.on account of Asperger’s syndrome, Greta Thunberg has suffered a lot

C.all governments haven’t already taken effective measures to deal with climate change

D.Varshini Prakash thinks little of Thunberg and her strike for climate change

24、During this shopping season,salesmen will come up with different strategies to get your business.Many product companies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and compete for a sale.However,sight is not the only one sensory detail that companies use.Sounds and smells can influence consumer purchasing decisions.

Nobel Prize-winning research shows that our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response.A study published earlier his year compared purchasing in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender（薰衣草）was given off and when it wasn’t.It found that the smell increased the number of customers purchasing items and the amounts of their purchases.An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more,and were willing to pay more,when the room had a mixed smell of flowers.Realizing the subconscious impact of smell,many stores apply artificial scents（香味）through their heating and air-conditioning vents（通风口）or place scent machines above their doors.For instance,a coconut scent might make that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation.

Ever felt frenzied due to a store’s fast-paced music? Or calmed by a piece of light music? A retailer’s choice of music can have a big impact on customer moods.One study found that when subjected to loud music,customers will spend less time in a store.But interestingly,the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customers satisfaction.Another interesting finding from a recent study was that customer actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar music.Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments,many use different music in some areas to appeal to varying consumers.

Well,you could always leave the store and take a break,but the food court probably isn’t your best choice as brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customer experience.Online retailers use a variety of other strategies to get your business,but you can always neglect those and enjoy the familiar scents of home.

【1】The passage is mainly about_________

B. It influences how long consumers stay in a shop.

【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word“frenzied”in Paragraph 3?
