2．Laungi Bhuiyan，a pensioner from the Indian state of Bihar，has become known as "Canal Man" after it was discovered that he spent 30 years of his life digging a 3-kilometer-long water canal，all by himself，using hand tools.
The remote village of Kothilawa had always suffered water shortages，with most of the rainwater falling in the nearby hills flowing into the river，instead of towards the village.This was one of the reasons why some villagers moved away，but Laungi Bhuiyan made up his mind to take matters into his own hands，so he stayed behind.No one offered to help，so for three long decades he dug the 4-feet wide and 3-feet deep canal himself，using only whatever hand tools he had.
Kothilawa is surrounded by forests and mountains.During the rainy season，the water falling from the mountains used to flow straight into a river flowing through the area，but ever since Laungi Bhuiyan completed his 3-km-long canal，it's been collected in a pond near the village，allowing locals to raise animals and even irrigate crops，without worrying about water shortages.
Ever since word of his impressive achievements started spreading on social media，Bhuiyan has been nicknamed "Canal Man".A Twitter user shared his unbelievable story and called Indian billionaire Anand Mahindra，asking him if he would support the Kothilawa hero by making a tractor available to him. "I think his canal is as impressive a monument as the Taj or the Pyramids.I'd consider it an honor to have him use my tractor，" the billionaire replied.
While many have taken to social media to praise Laungi Bhuiyan for his perseverance（毅力），some said that had the Government done the job it was supposed to，the Kothilawa man needn't have worked hard for decades，and locals would have benefited from the water canal much sooner.Others went as far as to suggest his work be recognized，and that he be provided with compensation.
（1）Why didn't Laungi Bhuiyan move away from Kothilawa with other villagers？
A．He didn't want to have his way of life changed.
B．He had great difficulty making a living elsewhere.
C．He decided to fix the problem of water shortages himself.
D．He wouldn't separate from the village he'd lived in for decades.
（2）What's the main function of the canal dug by Laungi Bhuiyan？
A．Irrigating crops and raising animals.
B．Channeling rainwater into the pond.
C．Transporting water from a nearby river.
D．Storing rainwater during the rainy season.
（3）What do Anand Mahindra's words in paragraph 4 reflect？
A．He thought highly of Laungi Bhuiyan.
B．Laungi Bhuiyan's canal is a place of interest.
C．He would complete the canal with Laungi Bhuiyan.
D．His tractor would greatly ease Laungi Bhuiyan's labour.
（4）What does the last paragraph imply？
A．Laungi Bhuiyan would be compensated with the help of social media.
B．There were different voices on Laungi Bhuiyan's decades-long work.
C．Laungi Bhuiyan's work was highly recognized by Indian authorities.
D．All people were not satisfied with Indian authorities' performance.組卷：4引用：1難度：0.6 -
3．Facial expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion and read the feelings of others.Happiness，sadness，fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone.But when part of the face is masked （戴口罩），it becomes more difficult to recognize these cues.
If you cannot read other's emotional state，your ability to empathize （共情） with them may be weakened.Moreover，if your mask is hiding your emotional state，others may not be able to empathize with you.Wearing a mask can also make you feel more distracted，further weakening your connection to others.
Fortunately，you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left-the eyes.If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual，you should look them in the eyes，which may be easier said than done.Eye contact may cause discomfortable after only three seconds.But keep in mind，eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.
You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself.For instance，when someone is happy，they stand up straighter and lift their head；when they are sad，they slouch and drop their head；and when they are angry，their whole body tenses up.Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask.
Don't forget the impact of your voice.It's not just what you say，it's how you say it.Along with the actual words，you also use volume，tone and pauses to convey your message.
Before your next interaction with a friend，think of ways to improve your connection.Pull your hair back so they can see your eyes clearly.Use your body and voice to convey the emotions you fear your mask might hide.
By all means，remember that social distance doesn't have to mean socially distant.
（1）What is the function of eye contact according to the author？
A．You seem to be more friendly with eye contact for a long time.
B．Proper eye contact makes you appear more trustworthy.
C．Only eye contact can avoid misunderstanding.
D．Eye contact for five seconds makes you feel comfortable.
（2）What can be learned from the fourth paragraph？
A．Learning body languages well can increase smooth communication.
B．There is little information conveyed by the body itself.
C．When people are sad，their whole body tenses up.
D．Standing up straighter and lifting one's head means a person is angry.
（3）How many ways are mentioned to increase communication when a person is wearing a mask？
A．1
B．2
C．3
D．4
（4）What can we infer from the last sentence？
A．We have to keep social distance strictly.
B．We can regain some control over communication by social distance.
C．Social distance can increase understanding with a masked individual.
D．Social distance should not keep people distant and cold.組卷：4引用：1難度：0.5

I always prided myself on being a wise shopper and having a good nose for bargains.So when I came across a sporting goods store with a sign "Going Out of Business Sale"，I marched into the crowded store.Up and down the aisles（通道），I wandered，humming to myself and enjoying the energy and excitement of a sale.
All of a sudden，there，at the back of the store sat a canoe（輕舟） exactly like my husband's dream Supremo Numero-Uno，whose picture had been stuck on the bathroom mirror for years.My heart beat wildly.I pushed my way through the crowds，and nearly fell into the canoe looking for the price tag.There it was，with the manufacturer's suggested price at ＄6，750 plus tax crossed out and a handwritten TO CLEAR ＄750 AS IS.Must be a mistake. ＄6，000 off？Salesman.I had to talk to a salesman.I spotted a young fellow with a "Hi.I'm Mathew". "Mathew.Tell me about this El Supremo canoe.What's wrong with it？Why is it only ＄750？"
"Oh.There's nothing wrong with jye.ai.It's brand new.We're closing the store.It's on clearance like everything else.I'll go check." A few minutes later he came back and said， "I'm sorry ma'am.Someone made a mistake on the sale tag.It should be ＄4，750 for the whole package."
I felt tears well up in my eyes. "Oh well"，I said sadly. "Of course，it was too good to be true.This is exactly like my husband's dreamboat.I guess I started to dream myself when I saw that price tag.He's going to be 62 years old Friday.Had to retire early for his health.It's been hard on just the pension but the stubborn old fool has been saving ＄10 every week for years to buy one just like this.I promise I won't buy anything，but it's just an old man's silly dream，you know.Always said he wanted to fish in a canoe after he retired，" my voice lowered and I turned and walked away.
Paragraph 1：
I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me. "Do you have ＄750 plus ＄25 for delivery，ma'am？"___________________________
Paragraph 2：
"Ma'am.There's something you should know.This store was my Grandpa's and the canoe had been ordered by him.___________________________組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5
