And today, Id like to talk about one little thing, which I think is one of the most important points leading to great 19 .Every morning in the training, my instructors (教官) would 20 in our rooms. The first thing they did was to 21 our beds. The corners would be square if we did it right. The covers would be pulled tight, and the pillow would be centered just under the headboard.It was a(n) 22 task. But every morning we were required to make our beds 23 .

About 60 percent of interviewees said that they would refuse to take part in tours that might badly influence the normal life of animals in the wild or be harmful to wildlife. The number of Chinese studying abroad grew at a slower rate (比率) in 2023, as more students have come to realize that studying abroad does not guarantee (保证) a well-paid job in foreign countries. About 78 percent of Chinese students abroad plan to work in China either right after graduation or after working abroad for a while. A survey by American Councils for International Education, showed that there were 227,086 Chinese learners across the formal US education system, making Chinese the third most popular language being studied. Passengers found eating or drinking on the Beijing subway who do not stop when they are asked will face having their actions noted on their social credit (信用) score according to Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport.31.

Chinese has become the most popular language in the United StatesC. passengers are not allowed to drink or eat on the Beijing subwayD. passengers will be punished and fined if they eat or drink on the subwayBDo you like reading? Today let me share something about reading in China. With rapid development of technology and the Internet, new methods and ecological (生态旳) ideas provide more possibilities for the Chinese to read. The newly national reading report shows that 80 percent of Chinese adults read books, newspapers or magazines in 2023, a year-on-year increase.Prevailing (盛行旳) digital (数字旳) readingThe growth of digital reading has made reading more popular among the Chinese. According to a survey, about 76 percent said they had accessed (访问) content through digital channels. Chen Chengpei, an office worker in Xiamen City loves reading on his mobile phone app in his spare time. He thinks its so easy to kill the spare minutes. Mobile phone reading has become the main channel for him to get information. He has downloaded seven news apps, through which he reads for one or two hours a day.Listening to audiobooks has become a new growth point in terms of reading habits. Zhang Jin from Beijing likes reading 40 minutes on his mobile while going to work on the bus in the morning, and listening to audiobooks on the way home. According to Ximalaya, 16.9 percent of its total users listen to its audiobooks. To attract more users, the mobile app allows users to vote for the book they hope to listen to most. The audio app tries to meet their needs. Li Yang, a student in Beijing, used to be worried by piles of books as her house is too small. The problem was solved when she started to sell the used books on an online second-hand bookstore Deja Vu. “By selling them, most of my books which used to gather dust in the corner can come to life again.” she said.According to a survey by giant Alibaba in 2023, the market for the second-hand book was booming last year as more Chinese tend to trade or exchange their used books online.The rise of online second-hand book platforms and sharing ideas also contributed to the booming book recycling.Users are able to sell their books by scanning the barcode (扫条形码) of books and then wait for the courier (快递员) to collect them. The collected books will be cleaned, disinfected (消毒) and packed before selling to other readers at a lower price.According to Deja Vu, its total users hit 1.4 million in 2023, with 2 million used books being sold. It has a daily business of 20,000 books. “When I see my books being read by others, I can feel a pleasure of sharing, which is really amazing.” Li Yang said.34.

One morning, I ran to the garden, and said to the old Scotsman who worked there. “Today I am going up the mountain for berries.”“No, no, Missey, not today.” he said, “It will rain.”“No, it will not rain.” I said, “The sun is up. The cook says it will be fine. The glass in the hall does not say rain.”“Tuts, tuts.” said the old man, “I care for no suns, or cooks, or glasses. The pimpernel (海绿) says it will rain, and so it will rain. Flowers, Missey, always tell the truth. When they say rain, go and get your umbrella.”Sure enough, by noon the rain was pouring down. After that, I looked with great respect at the tiny flower, sometimes brickred, sometimes blue, which could tell about the weather. But the pimpernel is not the only plant that is a weather prophet.If you go into the garden, and find the African marigolds shut after seven oclock in the morning, you may be pretty sure that there will be a rainy day. There is a little single marigold which shuts up in a hurry if the sky becomes clouded. It is called the “rainy-marigold”.Most plants which we call “weather prophets” shut up for rain. But some plants open for rain. The cause of the opening and closing is probably the difference in light. Most likely these plants shut their flowers because there is too little light.But you know there are some plants which become smaller in a strong light and love the shade. You will find that most shade-loving plants, as the verbenas, do not close for rain.Lilies, tulips and other flowers that love the sun shut for rain. Tulips are careful not to open their cups very wide in the morning if it is likely to rain. The roses make no change. They seem not to fear wet.On the whole, you may be pretty sure, if you go into your garden, and find many flowersas tulips, marigolds and morning gloriesshut, it will be a stormy day, unfit for picnics or long walks.38.

What do we know from the passage? A. The flowers have four ways to help people to get information about weather.B. The glass in the hall has magic for the writers family to know about weather.C.
