We get to witness the acknowledgement of some of humankinds greatest minds in six fields literature , medici
25、ne, physics, chemistry, economics and activism for peace.This year, however, part of the excitement will be taken away, since there wont be a Nobel Prize in literature due to the fact that the Swedish Academy the institution that awards the prize was involved in a sexual harassment scandal. People w
26、orry that a scandal like this will affect the reputation of the Nobel Prizes. But at the same time, we have to ask ourselves whether we really need these awards after all. According to Jana Gallus, an economist from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, one of the reasons that people give out award
27、s is to establish a legacy (遗产). In the case of the Nobel Prizes, they encourage people to achieve more by acknowledging the hard work of top figures in different fields. Awards may also help establish standards of whats considered high quality. For example, if youre having a hard time deciding whic
28、h movie to watch, one of them having an Oscar under its belt will probably help you to make your mind up. And by reading the books that have won The Man Booker Prize or listening to songs that have been awarded a Grammy, you get an idea about what “great” literature and music look and sound like at
29、least in the eyes of judging panels (评审团). Sure, awards can backfire. There was the Oscars So White movement in 2015 and 2016, when it turned out that all 20 actors nominated (提名) for two years in a row were white. There was also the Grammys So Male movement in January, when Alessia Cara was the onl
30、y woman to win a solo Grammy this year. But still, it was these incidents that brought the problems of racism (种族歧视) and gender (性别) inequality into the public eye once more. And with influential voices like that of black actor Will Smith, who refused to attend the Oscars ceremony the problems becam
31、e more likely to be noticed and dealt with instead of being buried silently, again. Maybe these awards do matter, and we do need them just not while they are under the shadow of a sexual harassment scandal. So when it comes to this years Nobel Prize in Literature, Im going to have to say: “No, thank
32、s.” BY CHEN XUE, 21ST CENTURY TEENS STAFF51. What does Jana Gallus think is one purpose of giving out awards?A. To honor important figures in history.B. To pass down a long-established tradition.C. To draw attention to social problems.D. To encourage people to make achievements.52. The underlined wo
33、rd “backfire” in Paragraph 6 probably means _. A. go to the wrong personB. fail to be given outC. have an unwanted resultD. receive wide recognition53. Whats the authors attitude toward the canceling of this years Nobel Prize in Literature?A. Supportive. B. Sceptical.C. Disappointed.D. Unconcerned.B
34、Anyone who has ever volunteered for any cause can tell you that in the end, they felt that they gained more from the experience than they gave. This is true for most examples of reaching out to help others. We find that we gain new understanding about not only those we help, but ourselves as well. S
35、tressing the importance of helping others in martial arts students will benefit them both inside and outside of the class. Helping others strengthens families. Families that practice the belief of working together and helping each other prepare their children for the concept of teamwork outside of t
36、he home environment. By learning to help around the house through activities such as household jobs, baby-sitting and keeping a tidy bedroom, children learn valuable lessons that they carry with them to their future relationships. By helping others outside of the home environment, valuable friendshi
37、ps can be developed. When we learn to reach out to others and give off our time and talents we find that our friendships grow, which in turn is a benefit to our lives. Martial arts training supports this by exposing students to people of various backgrounds and beliefs that gather for a common goal
38、and to help each other. Any time a group of people are working toward a common goal, team spirit surely forms. When we help each other in the martial arts setting and in every area of our lives, a friendship is formed that promotes teamwork. The most important thing to realize is that it does not ta
39、ke a lot to make a lot happen. Little things can make a big difference in the area of helping others. Simple gestures of kindness and support given frequently can build a strong base for the growth and development of each individual which leads to the success of all. 54. Any volunteer will benefit f
40、rom the experience because _. A. they will be admitted to a martial arts class for freeB. they can also have a better understanding of themselvesC. they can understand the importance of martial arts betterD. they will be paid back by those who are helped sooner or later55. According to the author, m
41、artial arts training is valuable in that it _. A. promotes students team spirit B. develops students talents C. benefits students lives D. exposes students background56. Which of the following proverbs can be used to summarize the last paragraph? A. God helps those who help themselves. B. Strike the
42、 iron while it is hot. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Many drops make a shower.C“Have a nice day!”may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure sinc
43、e another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!”This version of expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously,
44、the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase the business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the exp
45、ression serves us when we dont know what to say.“Oh, you just had a tooth out? Im terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use
46、 of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a s
47、trange and comfortable way, its nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.57. How does the author understand Maxies words
48、? A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author. B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day. C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy. D. Maxie really worries about the authors security. 58. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? A. The salesgirl is unwilling. B. The salesgirl is ab
49、normal. C. The salesgirl is aggressive. D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine. 59. By saying “Have a nice day,” a stranger may _.A. give his blessing to youB. express respect to you C. try to be polite to youD. share his pleasure with you 60. What is the best title of the passage? A. Have a N
