As the New Year’s day was coming, my classmates and I decided to do something specially to give our motherland a new-year gift. After a heating discussion, we agreed on carrying out a flash mob singing the song Me and My Motherland at Guangzhou Railway Station. Early that day, they arrived at the station. After setting up the equipments, I took deep breath and began to sing. Meanwhile, my classmates walked towards me from different directions but sang together. Soon the atmosphere gets warmed up. More and more passers-by slowed down and joined in us happily, wave national flags. All the people sang high praise for which we had done.

Last summer, our class paid for a visit to a local nursing home. After arrive there, we saw some elder practicing Tai Chi. They gave us a good impression of being dynamic and healthy. But there were also some old people seating in the wheelchairs. They were out of shape，what made me a bit sad. They must have experienced hard life in the past. During the visit, we chat with the old and did some cleaning and washing here. We had such a good time. This year, we plan to visit it from time to time but hope more people will care about the old so that they can be healthy, peace and happy for the rest of their life.

Mask-Wearing, Common in Asia, Spreads in the West

PARIS — Until a few weeks ago, Asian tourists were 【1】 only mask wearers in Paris, 【2】(cause) puzzlement or suspicion from French locals or even hostility as the coronavirus began sweeping across Europe.

Four days into a national lockdown to stem the outbreak, the French government spokeswoman, Sibeth Ndiaye, warned that face masks were so 【3】 (familiar) that wearing them was too difficult technically and could even be “counterproductive (適得其反).” Even Thursday morning, when 【4】 (ask) whether she wore a mask or made her children wear one, she said, “Oh, no, not at all.”

This taboo is falling fast, not only in France but across Western countries, after increasing 【5】(cry) from experts who say the practice is effective in curbing the coronavirus pandemic.

The shift for Western nations is profound and has had to overcome not merely the logistical challenges of securing enough masks, which are significant enough, but also a deep 【6】 (culture) resistance and even stigma (污名) associated with mask-wearing, 【7】 some Western leaders described flatly as “alien.”

【8】 (seem), it won’t be for much longer. After discouraging people from wearing face masks, France, like the United States, has begun urging its citizens 【9】 (wear) basic or homemade ones outside. And some parts of Europe are moving faster than the United States by requiring masks instead 【10】 simply recommending their use.

An international team of researchers said the fossilized skeleton (化石骨骼) of a male ape that lived in the warm and damp forests of what is now southern Germany was quite similar to modem human bones. In a paper published by the journal Nature, they concluded that the previously unknown species — named Danuvius guggenmosi — could walk on two legs but also climb like an ape.

'The findings raise fundamental questions about our previous understanding of the evolution of the great apes and humans, ' said Madelaine Boehme, who led the research.

The question of when apes could walk on two legs has fascinated scientists since Charles Darwin first argued that they were the ancestors of humans. Previous fossil records of apes with an upright move — found in Crete and Kenya — dated only as far back as 6 million years. These apes are called Toumai.

Boehme, along with researchers from Bulgaria, Canada and the United States, examined more than 15,000 bones recovered from the archaeological remains found. Among the remains they were able to piece together were primate (靈長(zhǎng)目動(dòng)物) fossils belonging to 4 individuals that lived 11.62 million years ago. The most complete, an adult male, likely stood about 1 meter tall, weighed 31 kilograms and looked similar to modern-day bonobos, a species of chimp.

Like humans, Danuvius had an S-shaped backbone to hold its body upright while standing. Unlike humans, though, it had a powerful big toe that would have allowed it to grab branches with its foot easily.

Fred Spoor, a biologist at the Natural History Museum in London, called the fossil finds 'fantastic', but said they would likely be denied or suspected by others, especially because they could challenge many existing ideas about evolution.

【1】Where did the scientists find the fossilized ape skeleton?

A.Germany.B.Canada.

C.Bulgaria.D.Kenya.

【2】What can we infer about Danuvius guggenmosi?

A.It was a species of chimp.

B.It lived in Crete and Kenya.

C.It could walk with a backbone.

D.It existed much earlier than Toumai.

【3】How does Spoor feel about the finding?

A.It is the most fantastic one.

B.It is a support to evolution.

C.It may cause lots of debate.

D.It denies the previous ideas.

I went to watch the ballet, the Peony Pavilion last Sunday’s evening. Because I think ballet was more or less the same everywhere, I was totally unprepared for its uniquely beauty. I was absorb as soon as the curtain rose. The performance borrowed a lot from Chinese dance and its the music, but the East influences on the ballet was clear. The production was filled in colors and romantic symbols, and challenged my senses in many different way. So much did I enjoy it that it changed opinion about ballet. I can’t wait to going again!
