When I was about 5 years old, I experienced my very first random act of kindness. I was sitting at the roadside one evening, crying alone for some reason when suddenly, a boy came up to me and gave me a plastic rose, I remember the moment when I took the rose from his hand; I was smiling from ear to ear, whispering “I want to be like him” to myself as I watched him walking away.
From then on, I made it as my life mission to do random acts of kindness whenever I can. I was very determined to make other people smile. That was the only reason why I joined my
school’s Red Crescent Society and became a volunteer. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks in the same way as I did. Whenever I do something nice to others, people around me will start to judge my actions. Often I will just keep quiet and ignore what they say, but every once in a while, they do drive me up the wall.
These people like to complain about how humans nowadays are lacking of humanities and compassion. However, when they actually see somebody doing a good deed in front of them, they start to question and criticize that person’s honesty. Perhaps it is the increasing crime rate and the never-ending rat race that caused them to be so suspicious to nice strangers. In other words, people nowadays have lost sight of the real meaning of kindness and just let it go unnoticed. That is why I think random acts of kindness are really important. These selfless acts are not only capable of bringing joy to the receivers but also to the givers. Because of this, I want to help spread the idea of these random acts to the whole world. I want to show the people how the little things they give could make a big difference in someone else’s life.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the
world.
Westerners’ understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage（针灸、拔罐和按摩）. For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps’ back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016.
As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 WHO member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs.
Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients（原材料）jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs.
Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescription handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou’s winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or medicine for her research into malaria（疟疾）treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China’s TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time.
28. Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps?
A. Because he was injured in his swimming.
B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment.
C. Because westerners know a little about TCM.
D. Because westerners attached great importance to TCM.
29. Why don’t some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine?
A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases.
B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture.
C. Because Western medicine is more effective.
D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly.
30. Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4?
A. The methods of planting herbs.
B. The effectiveness of prescription.
C. Lacking in standardization.
D. Its stable functions.
31. The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that ________.
A. Medicine-making companies lack creativity
B. Prescriptions are got from the past
C. Western companies are more experienced
D. Medicine-making companies lack driving force
D
An exciting landing process of Chang’e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器）was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing, Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon’s unknown side never visible from Earth.
China’s Chang’e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend, was launched on May 21, 2018, and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km from
the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang’e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.
The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth’s and moon’s gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can see both the earth and the far side of the moon.
The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space experts in the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.
Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星）hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang’e-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.
Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.
32. What do we learn from the second paragraph?
A. The relay satellite was launched on Jan. 3, 2019.
B. Chang’e-4 probe was the first communication satellite.
C. The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.
D. The relay satellite can handle data from Chang’e-4 probe.
33. Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?
A. To reduce the cost as much as possible.
B. To make it circle Moon for a longer time.
C. To avoid being crashed by other satellites.
D. To follow American space experts’ advice.
34. What made researchers suffer from great stress?
A. Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.
B. The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.
C. Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.
D. People’s never being optimistic about the relay satellite
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. China is a new space power after the USA.
B.Change-4 probe lands on Moon’s far side.
C. Chinese space engineers make much progress.
D. Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.
