24、What’s the most popular Winter Olympics design with kids and teenagers? It must be the mascot(吉祥物). Bing Dwen Dwen, a panda in an ice shell, was chosen as the mascot for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics in 2019. Now it has been made into fluffy(毛绒绒的)toys and plastic(塑料的)models, as well as printed on notebooks, badges(徽章)and bags.
“The International Olympic Committee has found that successful mascots had to be cuddly(令人想拥抱的)and liked by 9-year-old children,” said Cao Xue, the chief(首席)designer of Bing Dwen Dwen. “And I knew Bing Dwen Dwen would be.” Cao’s team was from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. They once made three designs, and Cao asked his 9-year-old son to choose his favorite. “At his first glance(一瞥), he chose Bing Dwen Dwen which was the final mascot,” Cao noted. According to Cao, Bing Dwen Dwen was chosen from 5,816 designs from 38 countries and regions(地区). The idea first came from the traditional Chinese snack bingtanghulu—the syrup(糖浆)coat later turned into the ice shell in his design. However a simple snack cannot stand for(代表)a country by itself. Cao’s team then tried many plants and animals, finally going with a panda. “What can better stand for China than our national treasure(宝藏)?” said Cao, “We don’t need to explain anything to have it understood across different cultures.”
They faced a problem, though, there were already too many cartoon pandas. Cao’s team looked at panda designs from around the world. They wanted to make sure their panda was different. For this reason, Cao decide it should be a baby panda. This is how they got Bing Dwen Dwen’s body shape. Its body has the same length(长度)as its head.
Bing Dwen Dwen wears a full-body “shell” made of ice. It looks like an astronaut in a space suit, showing a perfect blend(混合)of winter sports and modern technology. Bing Dwen Dwen waves(挥舞)its left hand to say hello. It has two red hearts on its palms(手掌), showing kindness and love. A series of colored floating lines around its head look like the tracks on an ice rink(冰场). They refer to “Ice Ribbon(冰丝带)”—stand for Beijing’s National Speed Skating. The colorful lines also refer to fast 5G signals.

A.A toy popular with children.
B.An adult panda.
C.A mascot for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
D.A 9-year-old toy panda.
【2】Colored floating lines around Bing Dwen Dwen’s head refer to ________.

【3】Why did Cao Xue decide Bing Dwen Dwen for the final mascot? Which is not the suitable answer?

25、 In Pontevedra, Spain, people don't shout. Since cars are banned (禁止)in the city, there are no horns (喇叭)or noises from car engines. People don't have to try hard to make themselves heard. What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds.
"Listen," says Miguel Lores, the mayor, opening the windows of his office. From the street below rises the sound of human voices. "More than 14, 000 cars used to pass along this street every day. There were more cars passing through the city in a day than people living here. "
Lores became mayor in 1999. He spent months walking around the city. "The historical city is dead, " he said one day. "It is full of cars. It is heavily polluted.

27、
The death of Steve Jobs provides a chance to take some lessons from his amazing life. Steve Jobs had a passion(激情) for education. He may be gone, but we still have a chance to learn from his courage and innovation(革新).
Making Mistakes
I think that the main reason why we can't find proper ways to improve the education system that no longer serves us well is simply fear. Fear of failure. Fear of getting it wrong. Teachers fear that innovation could endanger their jobs. Steve had the attitude we need in education right now. "Sometimes when you create something, you make mistakes. It is best to admit(承认) them and get on with improving your other innovations." That's the kind of spirit that we need to have.
Motivation(动机) Matters
We've concentrated(专注于) so much on results that we don't always reward good motivations. But these things are very important. In our schools, we've cared so much about test results that we've lost creativity. We don't reward students for their hard work, and we punish failure. As a result, we lost imagination and found no motivation to try something that has a chance of ending in failure.
What Defines(定义) Failure?
The company that Steve Jobs started in 1985 after being forced out of Apple shows us how technology could influence educational innovation. In 1985 he started NeXT. The company was providing computers for educational purposes. NeXT wasn't really financially(经济上) successful. But it may have been ahead of its time. Today, we see what the technology brings into the classroom.
Changing Our Model
The company sold around 50,000 computers. But that would be missing the point. It was a NeXT cube workstation that encouraged the first web server. It helped in the development of early Internet technology. Truly, Steve Jobs has taught us that results are not the most important things in life.
【1】The article tells us making mistakes .
A.is always something very bad
B.will help us become better people
C.is a part of making something new
D.will keep us from reaching our dreams
【2】We may lose our creativity and imagination if we .
A.make a lot of mistakes
B.fail to have a right model
C.can't be financially successful
D.concentrate too much on results
【3】Steve Jobs might agree that .
A.a good motivation can lead to a successful result
B.we shouldn't be afraid of failure and it can lead to success
C.making money is the only way to judge success
D.having a passion is the most important thing for success
【4】According to the article, which word can best describe Steve Jobs' spirit?
A.Passion. B.Motivation. C.Innovation. D.Creativity.
