My friend Nick told me story about his experience back in the US, that is very interesting. One day he was having a yard sale and the old man living next door come by to help. As the old man looked over the things on the yard that was to be sold, he stopped at a box of golden balls for Christmas trees. On the box was a card say: ¡°25 cents each.¡± ¡°You will never sell these for that much£¬¡± he told Nick. Convincing, Nick has brought the price up to 10 cents a piece. Without a moment¡¯s delay, my neighbor picked up the box but announced: ¡°I will take them.¡±

New Yorkers and visitors to the Big Apple will get to ring in the Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year in the U.S., in style with a fireworks display on the Hudson River set to music written by Academy Award-winning composer Tan Dun.

The display is part of the second annual ¡°Happy Chinese New Year: Fantastic Art China¡± festival held in New York on February 5-10, 2016. The China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), the U.S.-China Cultural Institute and the Cultural Associate of the Committee of 100 announced this year¡¯s events on November 18 at a press conference at the Lincoln Center.

The ¡°Fantastic Art China¡± festival will feature a larger and more diverse series of artistic and cultural events across New York¡¯s top cultural venues (µØµã) and landmarks, including the Lincoln Center, Empire State Building and Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

This year¡¯s theme focuses on exploring the complicated relationship between sound and image, said Professor Yu Ding from CAFA, who is also president of Fantastic Art China and in charge of the festival¡¯s design. Lunar New Year, which celebrates the ¡°Year of the Monkey¡± in 2016, is an opportunity to bring China¡¯s modern art to mainstream America, and the festival serves as an innovative approach to establishing cultural exchange between China and New York City, Yu said.

UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Tan Dun¡¯s music is a new edition that will be featured at several venues, including a major art exhibition at the Javits Center, events at the Lincoln Center and the fireworks display on the Hudson, which will take place on the evening of February 6. Five barges (ÓÎͧ) on the river will launch the fireworks designed by CAFA that will tell a story about celebration and conservation.

¡°We Chinese are fond of nature, so the best way to celebrate the Lunar New Year is to salute with the sounds of nature, such as sounds of water, stone and bamboo,¡± said Tan Dun at the press conference, ¡°And it will be fun to use the music of water during the firework display.¡±

In addition to the fireworks, a special lighting show at the Empire State Building will illuminate New York City during the holiday.

Chinese New Year is being recognized as a public school holiday for the first time in New York. Children from the National Dance Institute, which represents 75 schools, will perform traditional Chinese dances at the Lincoln Center and the Javits Center. And, in celebration of the ¡°Year of the Monkey¡± events will feature a conservation message about the endangered golden monkey in China.

When people reunite with their loved ones, it¡¯s usually all extremely happy moment. But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange£¬but most of the time they break down in tears.

Now a group of psychologists from Yale University say they have found the reason why, and that crying tears of joy may well be the body¡¯s way of keeping emotional balance. ¡°They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions, and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions,¡± Oriana Aragon, the lead researcher said.

Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants¡¯ emotional responses to different things, including happy reunions and cute babies. Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things ¡ª¡ª to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(Äó)a cute baby¡¯s face or even tell them ¡°I want to eat you up!¡± But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.

There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction. At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols(żÏñ). People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears. ¡°These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together.¡± said Aragon£®

Some of the world¡¯s most significant problems never hit headlines. One example comes from agriculture. Food riots £¨±©¶¯£©and hunger make news. But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. This is the decrease in the growth in production of some of the world¡¯s major crops. A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.

The authors take a vast number of data points for the four most important crops: rice, wheat, corn and soyabeans. They find that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in production that took place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.

There are two worrying features of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in the world¡¯s most populous countries, India and China. Their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. That self-sufficiency (×Ô¸ø×Ô×ã) cannot be taken for granted if productions continue to slow down.

Second, production growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soyabeans. This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, accounting for around half of all calories consumed. Corn and soyabeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that ¡°we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.¡±

The report also states the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and Agriculture Organisation has argued.

Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughed£¨À磩up for crops might be able to revert (»Ø·µ) to forest or wilderness. This could happen. The trouble is that the prediction assumes continued improvements in productions, which may not actually happen.

1.What significant problem does the writer think we should pay more attention to?

A. The decline of the grain production growth

B. News headlines in the leading media.

C. Food riots and hunger.

D. The food supply in populous countries.

2.Why does the author mention India and China in particular?

A. Their big populations are causing worldwide concerns.

B. Their food yields have begun to decrease sharply in recent years.

C. Their self-sufficiency is vital to the stability of world food markets.

D. Their food self-sufficiency has been taken for granted.

3.What does the new study by the two universities say about recent crop improvement efforts?

A. They fail to produce the same remarkable results as before the 1980s.

B. They contribute a lot to the improvement of human food production.

C. They play a major role in guaranteeing the food security of the world.

D. They focus more on the increase of animal feed than human food grains.

4.What does the Food and Agriculture Organisation say about world food production in the coming decades?

A. The growing population will greatly increase the pressure on world food supplies.

B. The optimistic prediction about food production should be viewed with caution.

C. The slowdown of the growth in yields of major food crops will be reversed.

D. The world will be able to feed its population without expanding the area of farmland.

5.How does the author view the argument of the Food and Agriculture Organisation?

A. It is built on the findings of a new study.

B. It is based on a doubtful assumption.

C. It is backed by strong evidence.

D. It is open to further discussion.

An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway. He would get the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years.

His house was dirty, and the bad smell coming out of the house was horrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they asked the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years.

The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire (°ÙÍò¸»ÎÌ). They waited outside his house expecting to share the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire.

But the old man said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, got into the train and sat at the street corner and continued to beg.

Clearly, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing. What makes us happy is what matters in the end, not what we acquire.

2. The police officers stood outside the old man¡¯s house in order to __________.

A. Tell the old man that they knocked down his door

B. Ask the old man to clean his dirty house

C. Make the old man count the money in small bags.

D. Tell the old man that he was a millionaire.

3. What did the old man do after the police officer told him the news?

A. He did what he usually did the next day.

B. He stayed at home doing nothing.

C. He locked the door and went to the subway at once.

D. He sat in front of his house and continued to beg.
