The opening ceremony for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games was held at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo on July 23, 2021 after a year of waiting due to the pandemic. Let's take a look at the highlights which make this opening ceremony unique.
No spectators
There are no spectators during the opening ceremony in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infections. About 950 people, including officials and journalists, will watch in the main stadium, organizers said. Fewer athletes are expected to attend the ceremony because many are not allowed to stay for the entire Games due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Male and female flag-bearers
The International Olympic Committee has actively encouraged all delegations toselect two flag-bearers at the opening ceremony, including one woman, as women's participation in the Tokyo Games reaches 48.8 percent, making it the most gender-balanced Olympics in the history of the event.
Oath (宣誓) session updated
One of the most symbolic parts of the opening ceremony—the Olympic oath—has been significantly adapted in order to “highlight the importance of solidarity, inclusion, non-discrimination and equality”. The number of oath-takers is also extended from three to six—two athletes, two coaches and two judges.
Simplified ceremony
In the 30-second video showing the rehearsal of the opening ceremony released to the public, the performances are integrated with dances, scenery and other display elements used in Japanese traditional festival activities.
In order to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic and manage the cost, the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee said that the performances of the ceremony will be greatly simplified, with more light and shadow technology used instead of real decorations at the scene.
1.Why isn't there any spectator during the opening ceremony? A.To limit the number of people present. B.To highlight the spirit of the Olympic Games. C.To control the spread of an infectious disease. D.To make room for the athletes all over the world.
2.Why is each delegation encouraged to select one woman as a flag-bearer in Tokyo Olympics? A.Women will be in a leading position in sports.
B.Women athletes make up a larger percentage than ever. C.Women will play a more important part in society.
D.More and more women will take part in the Olympic Games. 3.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage? A.Oath-takers are made up of six athletes. B.Tokyo uses more real decorations to cut the cost.
C.About 950 people watch the entire games in the Tokyo Games. D.The opening ceremony presents the traditional culture of Japan.
B
Have you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape, while others carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight? How annoying! However, scientists are beginning to believe that some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.
Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies will naturally store the excess energy from food as fat. These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day. Meanwhile, other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off” the extra food without making fat, so they rarely have weight problems.
To show that this is true, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat. Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin, even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise. Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic (基因的) factors. They also believe they have now identified the genes that may cause this tendency. These genes, according to the scientists, get passed down the generations. Armed with this knowledge, they believe it may be possible to develop medicines thatcan target the genes and stop people from gaining weight.
The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the numbers of people who are overweight continues to grow. In theUnited States, over seventy percent of the population have weight problems. This means they are at risk of illness such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
Current medicines for weight control do not work very well because they can have serious side effects, such as heart problems. However, it takes a long time to develop and thoroughly test new drugs. Therefore, despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs, scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise. This will not only help people avoid becoming overweight, but also help them stay healthy and energetic. 4. According to the scientists, some people ________. A. are able to stay thin because of genetic factors B. can eat what they want and stay healthy forever C. usually keep doing exercise to lose their weight D. don’t eat anything every day but still put on weight
5. Some people don’t need to worry about weight problems because ________. A. they eat many vegetables B. they eat less than others
C. they don’t store any energy from food as fat D. they can burn off the extra food without making fat 6. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Fewer people will have weight problems in the future. B. People with weight problems may suffer from heart trouble. C. We now have good medicine for people with weight problems. D. The result of the experiments on mice and humans are different. 7. What does the last paragraph imply? A. Current medicine solve weight problems well. B. We should exercise regularly and eat properly. C. Taking exercise every day may cause heart problems. D. Testing new drugs is hard because of the side effects.
C
It was five years ago that something unforgettable happened. My wife and I celebrated our 40thwedding
anniversary that year. It was a lovely event hosted by our sons for us. My wonderful friends from the past surprised us with gifts and congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove fromOntariointoAlberta,
then
southward
intoGlacierNational
ParkinMontana,
and
continued
toYellowstoneNational Park.
It was a cold spring day, and theBeartooth Highwayhad opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens.
There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. As he approached us, his only words were, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could express our gratitude. The photo he took is one of the most valuable and prized of our trip.
I learned my lesson somewhere I least expected it. We should never judge a man by his appearance. If the motorcycle driver reads this story and remembers the situation, we would like to say “Thank you” to him. 8. According to the passage, what do we know about the trip? A. It was taken by train to the west. B. It was a suggestion from their friends. C. It was in the late autumn five years ago. D. It was a gift for their wedding anniversary.
9. Why was the author nervous when the motorcycle driver offered to take a picture? A. He could have lost the camera.
B. His wife might not be satisfied with the view there. C. The motorcycle driver would borrow the camera.
D. The motorcycle driver might not be good at the taking pictures. 10. Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle? A. Kind and straightforward. B. Rich and generous. C. Creative and capable. D. Careful and admirable. 11. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?
A. No pains, no gains. B. Seeing is believing.
C. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
D. The longest journey begins with the first step.
D
ANew Zealandcouncil has announced a month-long road closure in order to allow a sea lion and her pup to reach the ocean safely.
John Wilson Ocean Drive in Dunedin will be closed after the New Zealand sea lions made their home at a nearby golf course and started \"regularly crossing the road to get to the beach,\" according to a Facebook post from Dunedin City Council.
\"You can still visit the area on foot or by bicycle, but please give the sea lions lots of space,\" continued the post.
Locals applauded the decision, and one even called for the closure to be made permanent.
\"No dogs should be on the beach, either,\" wrote Gaylene Smith. \"We need to protect our beautiful sea life.\" Dogs are known to attack sea lions, and Chisholm Links Golf Course, where the sea lions have made their home, also posted advice to dog walkers in a Facebook update.
\"We're lucky to have sea lions on our coastline and we need to share the space with them,as this is what makes our coastline so unique!\" wrote the course on Facebook.
The council went on to explain thatNew Zealandsea lions are endangered, and are one of the world's rarest species of sea lion.
There are an estimated 12,000New Zealandsea lions left, according to the Department of Conservation. Under local law, anyone who kills a sea lion could face up to two years in prison or a fine of up to NZ$250,000(US$178,000).
12. What decision has the Dunedin City Council made?

What Are the Roots of Your Self-Esteem?
Self-esteem is a person's subjective assessment of his or her worth to himself or herself. Self- esteem covers various beliefs about oneself (such as 'Tm a failure\" and \"I'm beautiful\") as well as physiological states, including sadness, joy, and shame. The more we believe that we are worthy of happiness and good things in life, the more self-fulfilled we will be. When we don't believe that we are worthy of these things, our ability to enjoy them can suffer.____16____
Healthy self-esteem as an adult can be a gift given in your childhood. It is a blessing that most people overlook. There are so many ways adults with high self-esteem were supported as children that resulted in them having high self-esteem. For instance, they were praised for what they had achieved.
____17____They likely experienced affection and were given enough attention. It is also possible that they excelled in studies or in sports and were admired for it by peers.
____18____As children, many of these people were criticized, yelled at, or abused in one way or another. There is also a high chance that they were given no attention by the adults who were supposed to care for them. In some cases, adults with poor self-esteem were often ridiculed for their shortcomings or bullied by peers.
It is common that these adults also believe that in order to be appreciated they need to be perfect.
____19____There are people who are obsessed with their careers or hobbies because in their mind they need to tie their worthiness to something concrete. Oftentimes these people have to pretend to be something they are not just to get approval.

A.There is also a good chance that they were spoken to respectfully. B.When we start to doubt what's important in life, we tend to do less of it. C.Since self-esteem is connected to how we perform, it is important to work on it.
