Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see 13 we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.
Does that sound 14 to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you 15 when others do that when having dinner with you?
A recent study suggests that what we are 16 to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of 17 makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they 18 , the less delicious the food seemed to them.

So, next time you 23 with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is, and 24 your life with people around you. Trust me, it will be a 25 time.

(Niu performs on the stage)
When the other models appeared on the stage, the audience（观众）cheered and clapped. Then it was Niu’s turn. The audience suddenly became silent. However, after four or five seconds, Niu clearly heard someone next to the stage say in admiration, “So cool!”
Niu Yu, 24, became a shining star at Shanghai Fashion Week for her confidence, even though she was wearing a prosthetic leg. When Niu was only 11, she unluckily lost her right leg during the Wenchuan Earthquake.
Niu has won lots of praise. This gives those who have prejudice（偏见）against the disabled a hit on the nose. “I was touched by something they said. They said the traditional view was that sports were for people with healthy legs, but sports should be a kind of spirit. Even though I have lost a leg, I still deeply love sports and will do so forever,” Niu said. Actually, Niu first drew the public’s attention when she completed a marathon—a 42.195-kilometer race in 2018, which was held in Wenchuan to mark the tenth anniversary（周年纪念）of the earthquake.
Now, Niu works as a photographer and has more than 960,000 followers on social platforms, such as Douyin. “I feel I have a social responsibility to bridge the disabled and the public. Showing my life to the public can allow them to better understand our group and can also tell other disabled people that our society is more tolerant（宽容）than they imagined,” she explained.
33．What is Niu Yu now?
A．A sports star. B．A singer. C．A model. D．A photographer.
34．The audience suddenly ________ when NiuYu appeared on the stage.
A．cheered B．clapped C．became silent D．laughed
35．How old was Niu Yu when she lost her right leg?
A．24 years old. B．11 years old. C．10 years old. D．4 years old.
36．What does the underlined word “followers” mean in Paragraph 4?
A．Fans. B．Dancers. C．Photos. D．Learners.
37．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A．Niu Yu became a shining star for her confidence.
B．Niu Yu has over 960,000 followers on social platforms.
C．Niu Yu first drew the public’s attention in the marathon in 2018.
D．Niu Yu thinks sports are for people with healthy legs.

阅读下列材料，根据其内容完成阅读任务。
It is 8:30 a.m. at the Chengdu Research Base. Panda keepers are preparing milk for the baby pandas’ breakfast. At 9:00 a.m., they find that most of the babies are already awake and hungry. When the babies see the keepers, they run over to them with excitement and some of the young pandas even walk into their friends and fall over!
Lin Wei, one of the panda keepers, says, “They’re so cute and lovely. I take care of them like they’re my own babies. I wash, feed and play with them every day. They’re very special to me.” In fact, many people around the world love these black and white animals. Pandas have become so popular that they are now a symbol of China.
Scientists say there are now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the forests. Another 300 or so live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries. Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one every two years. The babies often die from sicknesses and do not live very long. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, there were a lot more bamboo forests and pandas in China, but then humans started to cut down these forests. As the forests get smaller and other human activities cause more problems, pandas cannot find enough to eat and they are having fewer babies.
An education program in Chengdu teaches children about pandas and other endangered wild animals. They send people to schools to tell children about the importance of saving these animals. And the Chinese government is trying hard to help save the pandas. Scientists are doing research to better understand the habits of pandas. We all hope that in the future there will be a lot more pandas.
41．Baby pandas ________ ________ for breakfast.
42．In fact, pandas have become so ________ that they are now a ________ of China.
43．What does the underlined word “sicknesses” mean in English?
________________________________
44．How many pandas are there in the forests now?
