The story of Sir Nicholas Winton is the one that you would imagine could only happen on the silver screen. Sir Nicholas Winton was a British man who went to heroic efforts, potentially putting himself at risk, during World War II. Sir Winton was responsible for ensuring the safety of six hundred and sixty-nine Jewish children by aiding their escape from countries occupied by Nazis. Finally, the Jewish children were brought to England where he worked to make sure families in his native country would help the kids by taking them into their homes.
Recently, this unbelievable story has again been making the rounds on the Internet, particularly after a rerun of the BBC show called “That’s Life”, which featured Sir Winton. People around the world were moved at the details of the story, with saying it to be the best story they’ve ever seen.
Sir Winton kept his entire plan completely secret, even his wife had no idea about his planning until fifty years later. After the war, years passed and many people remained in the dark about Sir Winton’s extraordinary achievement. Some fifty years later, his wife Greta was searching in their house and discovered a Winton’s notebook which documented the names of all the children. She worked with BBC and they produced a TV episode (插曲) of their program “That’s Life” that served as an honor for Sir Winton’s work.
In 2003, Sir Winton was knighted by the Queen of England for his work. He also was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. He also had a small planet named after him by Czech astronomers. Sir Winton died peacefully in his sleep at the old age of one hundred and six, in 2015. Leaders around the world paid tribute (悼念). Israel’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Daniel Taub, said, “He was a hero of our time, having saved 669 Jewish children from Nazis. His story, as a point of light in a period of darkness, will forever be remembered.”

Some people get worried when faced with simple math problems. And they may rely more heavily on certain brain circuits than people who do not experience such math anxiety. That’s the finding of a new study. Using a different mental approach might help explain why people with math anxiety struggle more with complex problems.
To figure out what was going on, researchers placed adults in a brain-scanning device. Called a functional magnetic resonance (磁共振) imaging machine, it measures blood flow in the brain. This
lets researchers see which brain regions are active at a particular point in time. For the new study, the study recruited (招募) people with and without math anxiety. All of the adults were asked to answer whether simple math problems were correct or not. Both groups had similar response time. Each group also was equally accurate. The brain scans, however, turned up some differences.
In people who weren’t anxious about math, there was less activity in one brain region. It is called the frontoparietal (额顶的), attention network. It is involved in working memory and the solving of problems.
People who relied on this circuit less were probably getting ahead by automating simple math, said Hyesang Chang. She’s a cognitive neuroscientist who works at the University of Chicago in Illinois. She reported her team’s findings on March 25 here at the annual meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society.
People who get anxious over math showed more varied brain activity overall. That led Chang to consider that these people might be handling math problems in a different way. Their brains might be using a variety of approaches—and in ways that use more brain resources. This general approach works fine for simple math, she said. But the brains of those with math anxiety might get maxed out when the math is more challenging.
32. According to the text, people who experience math anxiety may .
A. have better working memory
B. solve math problems inaccurately
C. suffer more injuries in face of complex problems
D. have more activity in the frontoparietal attention network
33. Researchers did the study with the help of .
A. some experts on network
B. the University of Chicago
C. some people doing well in math
D. a magnetic resonance imaging machine
34. What does Hyesang Chang agree with?
A. There is no certain way to change the level of math anxiety.
B. Using more brain resources can help solve more challenging math problems.
C. People with math anxiety use more brain resources to handle math problems.
D. People relying on the frontoparietal attention network less have better math grades.
35. What may be the best title for the text?
A. How to learn math better
B. How does people’s brain react to math problems?
C. What researchers find about people’s brain
D. What should people do to avoid math anxiety?

Giant pandas have difficulty breeding and their pregnancies are very difficult 67 (follow). The animals also experience “pseudo-pregnancies (伪怀孕)”, during 68 their behavior and hormonal (生理的) changes indicate they are pregnant even when they are not.
The zoo’s statement came after the Edinburgh Evening Nevus used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain communication between the zoo and Scottish government 69 (show) that Tian Tian had been artificially inseminated and could give birth as early as this week.

One possible version:
Dear Peter,
I’m very glad to know that you have interest in Chinese novels. There are so many famous novels written in Chinese, including classical novels and modem novels, among which I like A Dream of Red Mansions most. It is an interesting novel and is excellent beyond comparison. Based on Jia and Lin’s love story, it describes a tragedy about love and the decline about a big family, which exposes the social crisis.
The book is written in old Chinese, which is difficult to understand. So when you read it, you’d better get a Chinese dictionary ready for reference. In addition, I suggest that you should know some background knowledge about Qing Dynasty. I wish you would have fun and learn something through readily it.
Yours,
Li Hua

They went to a lot of shops, and Mrs Hermann bought a lot of things. She often stopped and said, “Look, Joe! Isn’t that beautiful?” He then answered, “All right, dear. How much is it?” and took his money out to pay for it.
Time passed quickly and it was dark when they came out of the last shop. Mr Hermann was tired and thinking about other things, like a nice drink by the side of a warm fire at home. Suddenly his wife looked up at the sky and said, “Look at that beautiful moon, Joe!” Without hesitation, Mr Hermann answered, “All right, dear. How much is it?”
