I remember that weekend two years ago. My parents and many friends came to 16 the celebration. But just like everyone else in my class, I had watched the economy turn from bad to worse in my senior year. Almost all of us graduates had degrees, but very uncertain 17 .
The weeks ahead weren’t 18 . I knew my small university town couldn’t offer me any opportunities, 19 I packed up my car and drove to Southern California to find work. But what I thought would take a week dragged into two, and then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself in the exact same 20 as I was before.

On April 1, 2017, China announced that it would build the Xiongan New Area in Hebei province. This will be of the same importance as the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and the Pudong New Area, according to the State Council (国务院).
The area, about 100 kilometers southwest of downtown Beijing, will cover three countries that sit at the center of the triangular（三角形的）area formed by Beijing, Tianjin, and Shijiazhuang.
The Xiongan New Area has great potential（潜力）for growth. It has a broad space to develop and will expand（扩大）to cover 2,000 square kilometers. The transportation of the area is convenient, with only an hour’s drive to Beijing and Tianjin.
The new area also has a sound natural environment. It is home to Baiyangdian, one of the largest freshwater wetlands in North China. With more than 140 lakes, the wetland is known as the “pearl（珍珠）” of the North China Plain.
Once built, the area will reduce the heavy burdens（负担）on Beijing. For example, many companies, universities and scientific research centers will move from Beijing to the area.
International experts and media also think highly of this new area, saying that it will set an example for developing countries.

No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel (隊道）into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length (长度）of its string (线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up.
Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.
Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752，Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890s，Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933，the United States Weather Bureau (气象局） used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented (试验）with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.
34. Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel?
A. To pull down the palace.
B. To fight against the king.
D. To find out the length of the kite string.
C. To search for the king’s treasure.
35. What does the underlined word “determine” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. find out
B. pick out
C. take out
D. look out
36. One of the purposes of flying kites in Japan is ______.
A. to give thanks for a good harvest in summer B. to express good wishes to the first-born daughter C. to celebrate the beginning of a new year D. to hold kite festivals all over the country 37. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The History of Kites
B. The Experiments of Kites
C. The Invention of a Kite D. The First Record of a Kite
C
It is well known that the Japanese people’s love of fish is almost as strong as a bee’s interest in honey. As fish populations were decreasing, fishing companies were forced to fish further and further away from the shore. Then they had a big challenge — how to keep the fish fresh for longer. So they decided to keep the fish stored in freezers on the boats. But the public did not like frozen fish. So again the fishing companies had a new bigger challenge. What they decided to do was to have fish tanks on their boats. After catching fishes，they would put them in the tanks and keep them living there until they got back to shore. But in this protected environment, lacking predators（掠食者）, the fish slopped moving around. The Japanese public felt these dull fish did not taste fresh, which had an unpleasant effect upon sales. Once again the fishing companies had an even bigger challenge ...
Stop for a minute! Before we go any further, I would like to ask “What are your challenges? How do you handle an unexpected challenge?” May I think it this way that you should try to attack your challenges? Conquer them with a Swiss Army knife. Take the most proper and simple tool that you can adopt to deal with
