A shaking head, new heart colours and a familiar goose are among a new group of emojis (表情符号) set to be released (发布) this year.
Unicode Consortiumlist contains only 31 new emojis, much smaller than last year’s 112 emojis, which included pregnant people and a low battery sign. The goose emoji has drawn comparisons to the hit game Untitled Goose Game, where players take control of a horrible goose. The release has gained a mostly positive response online.
The chosen emojis are selected by Unicode Consortium, a non-profit organization in California. Keith Broni, editor in chief of Emojipedia, said “The Unicode emoji subcommittee want to take more time to consider what symbols we can add to represent what we know or experiences we have had — things like a shaking face or the pink hearts.”
He mentioned people were excited to see the pink heart emoji finally included, but he was particularly interested in the use of the shaking head. “It is most likely to be used when we are mentally or physically shook,” he said, “But there is a lot behind this - how can we communicate what happens to a person when they’re undergoing an earthquake
He added that their designer probably took a healthy inspiration“ from the goose video game for the relevant emoji - but it has meaning beyond that. “In the case of the goose, the concept (概念) goes back to how we use language in an expressive way.” He said, “What other things can we say with these emojis How can we forget the English idiom’ silly goose5 ” Through the emoji, that English language idiom becomes a piece of knowledge that can be represented across cultures.；
4. What emoji was inspired by a hit game
A．Shaking head. B．Pregnant people. C．A low battery. D．Goose.；
5. What’s people’s attitude to the newly released emojis
A．Doubtful. B．Disappointed. C．Welcome. D．Indifferent.；
6. What do we know about the selection of new emojis
A．People vote for the selection of new emojis. B．Not all the emojis created will be admitted officially.
C．Designers decide the entry of the emojis. D．Only those widely used emojis can be chosen.；
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Emojis are more than a way of daily expression.
B．English idioms found their way through emojis.
C．Different cultures may contain the same expression.
D．The Goose emoji originated from the phrase “silly goose”.

Automaker General Motors has announced the expectation of achieving carbon neutrality (中和) by 2040. On the way to that goal, the company hopes to get rid of automobile emissions (排放物) by 2035.
GM said it will take a science-based approach to become carbon neutral, balancing carbon dioxide emissions. Furthermore, it plans to remove gas-powered vehicle production by 2035. It intends that by 2025, 40% of its vehicles will be battery powered.
“General Motors is joining governments and companies around the globe working to establish a safer, greener and better world,” said Mary Barra, GM chairman and CEO. “We encourage others to work together and make a significant influence on our industry and on the economy as a whole.”
Transportation is the largest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, just over 28%, the Environmental Protection Agency reported. That is why GM and other industry leaders have joined the Science Based Targets initiative, which calls on businesses to take action to do with climate change.
A clear step for GM to become carbon neutral is to switch from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles. Traditional gas vehicles make up about 75% of GM’s greenhouse emissions, the company said. Their production facilities make up the other 25%, but the manufacturer aims to control the ratio (比率) by using wind and solar energy. GM said it will power its U.S. factories with 100% renewable energy by 2030 and globally by 2035.
The bigger obstacle falls on the consumer. An electric vehicle is significantly more expensive. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) says the average electric car costs $ 19,000 more than a gasoline-powered car. But GM has spent years improving its battery technology. Maybe that’s the reason why it can get rid of automobile emissions in the next 14 years with much confidence.；
8. What measure is GM taking to achieve the goal of removing carbon dioxide emissions
A．Working with global organizations.
B．Cutting back on battery-powered cars.
C．Gaining industrial and financial support.
D．Reducing production of cars powered by gas.；
9. What is Mary Barra’s attitude towards GM’s carbon-neutral approach
A．Supportive. B．Opposed. C．Critical. D．Indifferent.；
10. According to the passage, what results in the greenhouse gas emissions in the US to a large extent
A．Renewable energy. B．Fast food.
C．Transportation. D．Electric vehicles.；
11. Which of the following best explains the word “manufacturer” underlined in paragraph 5
A．Consumer. B．Environmentalist.
C．Producer. D．Advertiser.
D
Elephants are often seen comforting upset individual elephants with a gentle touch of their trunks reportedly. It’s one thing to witness something that looks like comforting behavior, but another thing to prove that this is what elephants are doing. Now, scientists have shown that Asian elephants do indeed get upset when they see others in trouble, and they reach out to comfort them. Elephants, thus, join the list of other animals, including dogs, wolves and some birds, which have been shown to do so.
Elephants’ responses to stress are difficult to explore because one has to wait for opportunities for these arising naturally in the wild. However, Joshua Plotnik, a scientist at Mahidol University in Thailand got around this problem. He compared Asian elephants’ behaviors during times of stress to those during periods when little upsets them. For 1 to 2 weeks every month for nearly a year, Plotnik spent 30 to 180 minutes daily watching and recording the behavior of 26 Asian elephants living in Elephant Natural Park in northern Thailand.
Other researchers have previously shown that when upset, an elephant moves its ears and raises its tail; it may also make a low sound to show its stress. “When elephants in the park see an elephant behaving in this manner, they typically respond by feeling the same emotion,” Plotnik said, “just as we do when watching a scary movie together. If an actor is frightened, our hearts race and we reach for each other’s hands — a reaction known as ‘emotional contagion’ .”
“But more studies are needed, preferably in wild populations,” Plotnik said. “What is unclear is whether these responses primarily benefit the upset animals, or the res-ponders,” Shermin de Silva, a behavioral ecologist, said. However, the study “provides a very interesting first exploration into the behavior of elephants suffering from stress,” said Graeme Shannon, a scientist at Colorado State University.
12. What does the underlined phrase “got around” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Overcame. B．Faced. C．Found. D．Raised.
13. Why did Plotnik mention the “watching a scary movie” situation
A．To explain a rule. B．To present a fact.
C．To clarify a concept. D．To support a conclusion.
14. What can be inferred about the study according to the last paragraph
A．It has some limitations. B．It confirms a prediction.
C．It benefits future studies. D．It is thought worthless.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A．Elephants copy comforting behavior B．Elephants ask for comfort when in trouble
C．Elephants are easily in low spirits D．Elephants understand their companions ’ feelings

Scientists and spiritual teachers alike agree that the simple act of smiling can transform you and the world around you. It can make us appear more attractive to others. 16 So before you read on, slap a nice, genuine smile on that face of yours.
How Smiling Affects Your Brain
The act of smiling activates neural messaging that benefits your health and happiness. For starters, smiling activates the release of neuropeptides (神经肽) that work toward fighting off stress. The feel-good neurotransmitters (神经介质) are all released when a smile flashes across your face as well. 17
How Smiling Affects Your Body
You’re actually better-looking when you smile. A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia reported that seeing an attractive, smiling face activates the region in your brain that processes sensory rewards. 18 It also explains the 2011 findings by researchers at the Face Research Laboratory. They found that both men and women were more attracted to images of people who made eye contact and smiled than those who did not.
19
Did you know that your smile is actually contagious (传染性的) In a Swedish study, subjects were shown pictures of several emotions: joy, anger and surprise. When the picture of someone smiling was presented, the researchers asked the subjects to frown. Instead, they found that the facial expressions went directly to what subjects saw. 20 If they don’t, they’re making a conscious effort not to.
A．How Smiling Affects Those Around You
B．Each time you smile, you throw a little feel-good party in your brain.
C．So if you’re smiling at someone, it’s likely they can’t help but smile back.
D．And it can even lengthen our lives.
E．How Smiling Affects Your Facial Expressions
F．They not only relax your body, but also lower your heart rate and blood pressure.
G．This suggests that when you view a person smiling, you actually feel rewarded.

Many years ago, I was at a girls’ school and our teacher made all the girls in the class sit next to someone different every day.
On one of the days, my teacher paired Madhuri, who I had never talked to, and me to sit next to each other. I noticed that she seemed very anxious. I asked her what was wrong. She remained silent at first, but eventually, she told me that she had three sisters in her family and that her father couldn’t afford school books for all of them.
My primary school was strict, as was the standard then, and if you didn’t have your school books the teacher would make you leave the class. Madhuri was very anxious that day because she thought that the teacher would tell her to leave the class. When the teacher saw that she didn’t have the books, he told Madhuri that she couldn’t attend class for a week.
Madhuri was very upset. I felt so bad when I saw her pain that I decided to help her. I went to speak to her and offered to buy the books for her. She refused my offer to help. She had very strong principles and she would never accept things bought by others.
When I got home from school I told my mom the story. She said that it was good that I had tried to help but I should stop worrying about it because there was nothing more that I could do if she had refused my offer to help. I couldn’t stop worrying about it though.

Dear Frank,
Next week, our school will hold an English Speech Competition titled "The Relationship between Humans and Animals" . I know you’re doing research on animals’ protection, so I’m more than glad to write to invite you to be our judge. The contest will take place in our school dining hall at 3:00 p.m. this Friday. As we all know, with the development of modernization, our nature is being destroyed by human beings very seriously, and animals are losing their habitats. So we must raise the awareness of people to protect animals and keep the harmony between humans and animals.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
Then I had an idea. My older brother, who had once used the same series of books, graduated from school last year. Why not turn to him for help Maybe those old books were the solution to the problem. They wouldn’t cost anything so Madhuri could accept without any pressure. I went to mom and my brother immediately. After hearing Madhuri’s situation and my plan, my brother was quite willing to help. We sorted out the needed books for Madhuri together very quickly. Looking at the neatly piled books, I felt quite satisfied and delighted but suddenly a concern flashed across my mind, “Would Madhuri mind they are second-hand books ”
The next day, I got up early so that I could go to her house before going to school. Not knowing what would happen and not sure whether she would accept the books or not, I knocked at the door nervously. When the door opened, I could see her surprised expression. Hearing that these books were old books of my brother, she accepted them without hesitation. I also got a weight off my mind. On the way to school, I could see from her face how happy she was. From that day on, something changed and as the day passed and the years moved on, Madhuri and I became best friends.
