1．China's first panda-themed tourist train，known as the "Panda train" left Chengdu Railway Station in Sichuan's provincial capital for Zunyi in neighboring Guizhou province on Sunday night.The train is decorated with giant panda images，and attendants carry panda toys and passengers can even try panda-shaped food.The "panda train" will start operation on March 28.It will serve on fixed lines and customized lines to connect tourist attractions in Sichuan and neighboring provinces.
In the future，the train will operate on a number of rail lines linking Chengdu and Chongqing，Chongqing and Guiyang，Shanghai and Kunming in Sichuan，Guizhou provinces and Chongqing municipality.
Ticket offer：
The three-day trip costs 1，280 yuan，including food，accommodation and entrance tickets to scenic spots in Guizhou.

The mahjong room might be the biggest attraction for passengers from Sichuan，whose people are known for their fondness of the game.There's an old joke that an airplane passenger bound for Chengdu can sleep soundly，only to be woken by the clicking of mahjong tiles in the city before landjye.aig.In fact，Chengdu is better known for its love of mahjong than its other attractions，such as the giant panda，Sichuan Opera and Sichuan cuisine，according to an online survey conducted by sohu.jye.ai two decades ago.

2．Peter Whittle helps people get their time back.From behind the counter（柜臺） of his repair shop，he brings to life1th-century pocket watches，old European clocks，and modern Rolexes.
Digital watches and cell phones may have replaced traditional timekeepers for many，but in the 20 years since he opened Whittle's Watcn Works，the demand for his services has only grown.Open three days a week，Whittle's shop takes in more than 1，000 watches a year，sometimes 10 in one day.
Sixty years ago，there were more than 50，000 independent watchmakers in America.These days，the number has dropped to fewer than 6，000，according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"People say no one wears watches anymore，" Whittle said. "But at home，somewhere in a drawer，you might have your mother's watch or your grandfather's watch.And one day，you might find that you want to get it repaired."
Whittle said he's been busy since the day he opened.He doesn't advertise，and seldom has an online presence，but people knock on the door even when the closed sign is up.During office hours he wears a long white coat that makes him look like a doctor，which he is，in a way.Whittle's services can cost very little，or hundreds.Working on Rolexes，each with about 225 pieces inside，costs an average of ﹩700.
Joseph Caprara，a watch collector，has been coming to Whittle's for more than ten years.Of the dozens of timepieces he's brought to Whittle，one of the most memorable was an inexpensive watch his mother wore. "What he's really doing sometimes is restoring memories，Caprara said. "Sometimes a watch is worth a lot more to a person than what you'd think."
Though the great increase of cell phones has led to fewer people wearing watches，Jordan Ficklin，executive director of the American Watchmakers - Clockmakers Institute，sees hope for the industry in newer devices like Apples watches，which he says are bringing back that sense of a physical connection with a watch.And like traditional timepieces，the marketing around computerized watches often links the device to emotional experiences：a non-athlete training for a first marathon，a parent monitoring a child's illness，people whose watches have become a basic part of their life.
（1）What do we know about Whittle's Watch Works？
A．It is going well.
B．It opens five days a week.
C．It needs online advertising.
D．It has fewer and fewer customers.
（2）What does Whittle think of repairing watches？
A．It is demanding
B．It is disappearing slowly.
C．It still has a market.
D．It should charge higher than before.
（3）What did Caprara say about watches？
A．They are a waste of money.
B．They have gone out of fashion.
C．They are likely to rise in value.
D．They keep old memories alive.
（4）What can we learn about computerized watches？
A．They fail to sell well.
B．They will replace traditional watches.
C．They have a huge influence on cell phones.
D．They can also create emotional ties with customers.組卷：1引用：3難度：0.5 -
3．As people are becoming more socially conscious about where their food comes from and how it impacts the planet，they are choosing animal-free plant-based options.Cow-free meat has been around for quite some time and the popularity of brands of the cultivated meat is rising.While there are a large number of plant-based milk substitutes，none of them have the same taste of cow's milk.Now，a food-tech company created real dairy products without harming a single cow or the planet.
The company stresses that their product produced in the lab is not a milk substitute but rather is the real deal.And it is very healthy.The company also says that the lab-produced milk tastes identical to the real thing and they hope to eventually replace cows by creating every dairy product sold.They expect to roll out plant-based cheese and yogurt in addition to milk. "Our company was founded with the mission to stop using animals to produce -our food because，as dairy lovers，we realize that giving up on milk is not an option，" John said. "But today's milk comes with an unreasonable price tag.The dairy industry is destructive to our planet，our health，and our animals，and is simply not sustainable （可持續(xù)的） anymore."
The environmental price tag of dairy farming is way too high.According to the World Wildlife Fund，dairy cows add a huge amount of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and-contribute to global warming and climate change as well as pollute the air around them.Dairy operations consume large amounts of water and run-off of manure（糞肥） and fertilizers from these farms get into local waterways.The production uses only 5 percent of the resources and produces only 1 percent of the waste of producing cow's milk according to the company.And they accomplish this by being 100 percent cruelty-free unlike dairy farms.
（1）The food-tech company's milk mentioned in the text differs from other milk substitutes in.
A．its various plant-based flavour
B．is tastes the same as cow's milk
C．its highest output from the farms
D．its broad popularity home and abroad
（2）What can we know from John's words in paragraph 2？
A．Prices of cow's milk are rising these days.
B．The destructive dairy industries should be shut down.
C．The food-tech company was set up for animal protection.
D．The food-tech company aims to produce animal-free food.
（3）What does the underlined word "them" probably refer to in the last paragraph？
A．Dairy cows.
B．Dairy operations.
C．Climate changes.
D．Greenhouse gases.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Healthier Milk.
B．New Milk Saves Planet.
C．Fresher Milk，Better Future.
D．Making Milk without Cows.組卷：7引用：5難度：0.5 -
4．Convincing someone to change their mind is really the process of convincing them to change their tribe （部落）.If they abandon their beliefs，they run the risk of losing social ties.You can't expect someone to change their mind if you take away their community too.
The way to change people's minds is to become friends with them，to combine them into your tribe，to bring them into your circle.Now，they can change their beliefs without the risk of being abandoned socially.
The British philosopher Alain de Botton suggests that we simply share meals with those who disagree with us： "Sitting down at a table with a group of strangers has the incomparable and odd benefit of making it a little more difficult to hate them without punishment.Prejudice and conflict between groups of people from different nations or races feed off abstraction.However，during a meal，something about handing dishes around，unfolding napkins （餐巾紙） at the same moment，even asking a stranger to pass the salt makes us less likely to hold the belief that the outsiders who wear unusual clothes and speak in distinctive accents deserve to be sent home or attacked.For all the large-scale political solutions which have been proposed to ease racial or cultural conflict，there are few more effective ways to promote tolerance between suspicious neighbours than to force them to eat supper together."
Perhaps it is not difference，but distance that produces tribalism and unfriendliness.As proximity increases，so does understanding.I am reminded of Abraham Lincoln's quote， "I don't like that man.I must get to know him better." Facts don't change our minds.Friendship does.
The Japanese writer Haruki Murakami once wrote， "Always remember that to argue，and win，is to break down the reality of the person you are arguing against.It is painful to lose your reality，so be kind，even if you are right."
When we are in the moment，we can easily forget that the goal is to connect with the other side，cooperate with them，befriend them，and integrate them into our tribe.We are so caught up in winning that we forget about connecting.It's easy to spend your energy labeling people rather than working with them.
The word "kind （family and relatives）" originated from the word "kin （old fashion of family and relatives）." When you are kind to someone，it means you are treating them like family.This，I think，is a good method for actually changing someone's mind.Develop a friendship.Share a meal.Gift a book.Be kind first，be right later.
（1）People are likely to change their mind when they.
A．change their beliefs
B．a(chǎn)re made friends with
C．move to a new community
D．a(chǎn)re given somewhere to go
（2）What does the underlined word "proximity" in paragraph 4 mean？
A．Nearness.
B．Action.
C．Communication.
D．Politeness.
（3）The author quotes from Haruki Murakami to imply that.
A．breaking down one's reality is easy
B．kindness is more important than right
C．a(chǎn)rguing and winning are not important
D．losing one's identity is a painful process
（4）According to the passage，sharing meals is effective in building connections because it.
A．pleases people with different beliefs or accents
B．makes people focus on eating rather than conflicts
C．brings benefits to the people having dinner together
D．promotes understanding and tolerance among people組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5
