This cute little rabbit named Miffy is one of the most popular rabbits in the world. You may see her everywhere, on things like pens, notebooks and toys.
Miffy first appeared as a cartoon character for a children’s book by Dutch artist Dick Bruna in 1955. However, on Feb. 16, 2017, Bruna left her forever. He died at the age of 89 in his hometown of Utrecht in the Netherlands (荷兰). The idea of Miffy was born when Bruna was having a holiday with his family in a seaside house. He saw a rabbit jumping around and it caught the attention of his baby son. So the artist made up a bedtime story about the rabbit for his son every night. Later he drew the stories into cartoon books.
Since then Miffy has become a friend of kids around the world. But what makes Miffy so popular? Probably it is because of the way Bruna drew it. He only used a few strong lines and several bright colors in his drawings. Miffy only has two dots (圆点) as eyes and a cross as a mouth. Even when she cries she only has one tear, because one drop is enough to show Miffy’s sadness. Miffy is just like a little girl, simple, quiet and sometimes a little shy. But she is always open to new experiences.
The best place for all Miffy lovers is the Miffy Museum. It is like a small world. There you can find Miffy’s house and her everyday experiences, such as going to the doctor and going to the zoo. You can walk into the world of Miffy and her friends.

As a 12-year-old girl, all I wanted was a signet (图章) ring. It was the “in” thing at that time and I found every girl had one except me. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials (姓名首字母) in it. I was in heaven.
This ring became more special because it was the only thing I would never lose. My ring was always new, even when there was a big fire that burned out (烧毁) almost everything earlier that year.
Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before going to bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and looked for it everywhere. But it seemed to have disappeared. Finally, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed, and later I moved twice. I was visiting my parents’ when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn’t my birthday. It was not Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving days either. Mum noticed my questioning look. “You’ll recognize this one,” she said, smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. The family who bought our house decided to make some changes about the house. When they moved my old bed, they found the ring in the corner. As it had my initials in it, they realized who had the ring. They asked someone to clean it up carefully before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.

How many calories (卡路里) are there in every meal you eat? That seems like a difficult question to answer. But students at Aitkin High School in the United States can easily answer it now. They put what they eat into an online calorie counter (计算器). It quickly tells how many calories there are in their meals.
In fact, this is part of the school’s health class. It is about heart health, nutrition (营养), and fitness. Students can learn basic knowledge about fats, proteins (蛋白质), calories and sugar. Students can also learn how to balance calories in and out. They will know what happens when the balance isn’t there. “The online calorie counter can help you make healthy choices. Making one healthy eating decision can really make a difference,” Adam Carlson, the teacher of the class, told local newspaper Aitkin Independent Age.
They also talk about good ways to burn calories in the gym. According to Carlson, the gym is a great place to burn calories and get stronger. But it doesn’t work for everyone. So they try to find different ways to exercise. “I’m trying hard to teach the students that doing exercise can be fun but hard, and doesn’t need to take hours out of the day, but you should keep on doing it for a long time,” she said.
The class has changed students. “I am now watching what I am eating and pay attention to the food labels (标签),” said seventh-grader Karena Burgstaler. Another student James Erickson began to pay attention to how much sugar he eats because it was almost over his daily calorie intake goal.
( ▲ ) 52. The passage begins with a question to________.
A. interest the reader B. ask for help C. tell a story D. make a plan
( ▲ ) 53. Adam Carlson thought it was important to________.
A. know how to use the counter B. choose healthy food to eat
C. know what happens at school D. spend much time on exercise
( ▲ ) 54. Who might be interested in burning calories in the gym?
A. David, a worker, is busy day and night.
B. Kathy, a student, is afraid of something hard.
C. Tom, a teacher, comes back home at 10 every night.
D. Linda, a dancer, likes to do something interesting.
55. Why does the writer give the two examples in Paragraph 4?
