Everyone has heard the phrase, "giving up is not an oplion". Many disregard it and do not
believe in it. But this small yet effective phrase gives a strong message. There will always be
something that interrupts or causes inconvenience in the journey to achieve the dreams. But鲤

For many Chinese consumers, a satisfying breakfast is one that includes either hot ponidgc (粥）
or steamed buns (t. 员头）. Cold sandwiches, which are usually popular with w.;.tcmers, arc prob北ly
one of the last options on their minds. But that is not to say that consumers, especially those in an
international city like Shanghai, would avoid everything considered Western for brca哗L For
instance, coffee, which has steadily grown in popularity in the country, is one drink that many cannot
do without today.
To satisfy this growing demand for breakfast scts that combine clements from the East and the
West, food companics have bccn rolling out a host of new offerings to attract the customers. One
example is Shanghai Qiao Coffee, which was launched by local time-honored food company
Qiaojiashan at the end of 2019. Apart from its traditional dim sum, the store nlso sells 、-arious types
of coffee.
According to Shen Yan, deputy manager of Shanghai Qiaojiashan Food Development Co Ltd.
the most popular breakfast set at the moment is the steamed vegetable bun p止过with black coffee.
"The calories that one gets from a meal featuring Chinese dim sum and coffee are less than those of a
Western breakfast. Since a steamed bun has nearly 200 calorics and a cup of black coffee barely has
any calories, this combination can be considered healthy and delicious," said Shen.
Even the smaller shoppers in the·food scene邱jumping on the氐st-West b心订ast trend.
Western food establishments, too, have been rolling out Chinese b心还st options.''Consumers and
even cultural heritage will also benefit from the increased competition. If not for the current trend
which has revived interest in certain traditional dim sum, these foods could soon be lost to historyt

Of course, just because young people are now readily armed with statistics such as these doesn't
mean all adults will eagerly listen to them. Many write off young activists simply due to their age,
and others still aren't willing to see the environmental challenges we face, but that doesn't mean a
difference can't be made
A study on partieipants aged 16-24 in the UN climate negotiations revealed that adults perceived
younger activists as being more trustworthy due to the lack of financial incenti心（刺激） to be there.
Young activists often have an independent view of what's going on and, being free from politics,
they often say what adults aren't willing to.
So, it seems achieving a carbon neutral world in the future might depend on young determined
voices inspiring experienced adults who can make a difference.

Shooting down an ice-covered track, a bobsled (大舌橇}can goC钰ter than 80 miles an
hour. 16 Th e answer ts a combinallon of athletics皿d se1enee
At the start of a race, the crews push their sled, building up speed before they jump in for the
ride. For months before the race, the crew members have built up explosive power in their legs. That
means doing a lot of jumps, and sprints (冲刺跑） It also means pushing heavy sleds! The push is the
crew's only chance to add speed. 17
The design of the sled's runners (滑板） reduces their friction with the ice. 18 They may
not melt enough ice for a fast ride. Runners that are too rounded may become too warm, softening the
ice and slowing the sled dO\\'ll.
I 9 The rules state that all runners must be made of the same type of steel, and crews may
polish them using only approved materials. Before each race, officials check the temperature of the
runners. Runners may not be more than a few degrees warmer than the ice. 20
But remember the sled must not be too fast•· the crew still needs to be able to reach the bottom
safely.
A. \Vhy do people go for the sport?
B. Crews polish their runners for a fast ride.
C. The riders sit inside a hard shell, ealled cowling (整流罩）
D. How do bobsleds go C还ter than cars on a highway?
E. A hot runner will melt more ice and may possibly go faster.
F. Runners that arc too flat would spread the friction over a wide area
G. All other work goes into keeping other forces from slowing the bobsled down

When the house was quiet, Mama went to the hall closet and pulled out all the old spring coats.

Papa sat down at the table. "Are you sure Sarah can't wear a hand-me-do\\1 ?" he said. "It's
either a new coat or a ragged coat," Mama said. Papa frowned, staring out at the front yard. "S叩h
has never had a new coat," Mama added
For a long while, nobody spoke. The fire in the wood stove crackled (发出咱啪1'). S:t.ra.h
looked closely at Papa. Then Papa cleared his throat. "A ragged coat won't do," he said. "S:trah. 血
you old enough to take care of a new coat?" "Yes, Papa," Sarah said. "I'm old enough to do almost
anything." Papa gave her a serious look. "Very well," he said. "While we are in tO\\'ll to中y, we'll buy
you a coat of your very own." After they had eaten the soup, they headed for t0\\11 in Papa's old
