It keeps what’s inside a mystery until you open it. There are usually toys in mystery boxes; but now, food has been added to the list.
Recently, the trend of “leftover mystery boxes” has become popular in many Chinese cities such as Beijing, Nanjing and Chengdu. Stores pack boxes full of unsold food or food nearing its expiration date at low prices.
“We make the leftover mystery boxes available to buy at the end of the day” Wu Tian, a staff member at a convenience chain store in Beijing, told China Daily. The food, such as milk, bread and sandwiches, is sold at about half the original price and is usually sold out quickly. Many bakeries have also joined the “mystery box club”.
“Due to their low cost, leftover mystery boxes are promising as a new business model and attract consumers,” Hong Yong, a Commerce Ministry expert, told China Daily. “They also follow zero-waste and environmental protection concepts.”
In 2021, China’s total food waste was 160 million tons, averaging 93 grams per meal per person. Since the Anti-Food Waste Law took effect in April 2021, awareness of food waste reduction has risen. Leftover mystery boxes are an effective way to tackle food waste.
However, some people have raised food security concerns. If consumers buy a food mystery box for their breakfast the next morning, even if the food looks fine at the moment, it may have gone bad overnight. Moreover, food made in the store, such as bread, isn’t labeled with the production date in many cases, according to China Consumer News. If a consumer unpacks a mystery box and discovers that the food tastes bad or has already passed the last date, then it will be difficult for them to protect their rights, such as getting money back.
Only by considering both food safety and consumer rights can mystery blind boxes achieve a win-win situation for both buyers and sellers, commented China Youth Daily.
34．What leads to the rise of the trend of “leftover mystery boxes”
A．It offers customers lower prices for those unsold food.
B．Stores make the leftover mystery boxes available at night.
C．People feel like such food as milk and bread more attractive
D．It goes against the concept of zero-waste and environmental protection.
35．What does the underlined word “expiration” in paragraph 2 mean
A．buying B．ending C．producing D．selling
36．Why are some people worried about customers buying a food mystery box
A．Because customers’ rights are hard to protect.
B．Because the food has gone bad when it’s bought.
C．Because the production dates are not clear enough.
D．Because customers cannot get a refund in many cases
37．What is the author’s attitude towards the leftover mystery boxes
A．Supportive. B．Disapproving. C．Objective. D．Doubtful
C
Civita, the dying town
Some 120 kilometers north of Rome, street signs along the road tell drivers they're bound for “the dying town” Civita di Bagnoregio. The village stands on a declining plateau(高原). It has gone through landslides(泥石流), earthquakes, and erosion(腐蝕) since humans' first settlement about 2, 500 years ago. Nowadays Civita has been reduced to only 90 by 150 meters.
In the Middle Ages, the size of the plateau was three times its size nowadays, and the population was over 3, 000, yet the river surrounding Civita gradually made the town collapse from the bottom up. Since 1695, when a destructive earthquake took place in Civita, many people were forced to escape from their hometown，and the population there has never recovered. By the 1920s, there were merely 600 residents in the town. Currently, there are only about10 residents. What a small population it has!
The survival of Civita is uncertain. However, as the news that the town was about to disappear started to widely spread, more and more people wanted to visit it. Now up to 10,000 people visit Civita per day. And there is doubt as to whether it is dying. The flood of people and money leads to natives longing for the rescue of the town.
Yet the actual situation in Civita is that there are no grocery stores, hardware, or convenience stores. People living there can only have access to a handful of restaurants and tourist shops. Besides, they have to get supplies through a narrow, 300-meter-longbridge that connects them to the outside world.
Today, Civita is pursuing a UNESCO World Heritage designation, in order to earn official recognition of its landscape and adaptability to nature. Recently, the town presented a 242-page document to the UNESCO, hoping that it will help strengthen Civita's role as a site of historical and cultural significance. Also, Civitas UNESCO team plans to create tourist attractions in the surrounding towns. If Civita recovers successfully, other towns in the same situation could find a direction based on its experience.
38.What has made Civita become smaller
A. The inconvenient transport.
B. The natural conditions.
C. The settlement of humans.
D. The decrease of the population.
39.Why do so many visitors flood in Civita every day
A. Because they want to rescue it.
B. Because they are attracted by its scenery.
C. Because they are interested in its natives.
D. Because they want to catch the last chance to
40.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The stores in the town.
B. The daily activities of local people.
C. The appearance of the town.
D. The living conditions in the town.
41.Which word can best describe the possible future of Civita
A.Unchangeable. B.Hopeful. C. Disappointing. D. Doubtful.
D
Want to experience an English village
Ensure to look out for morris dancing. It is a folk dancing that dates back to the 15th century.
Men and women wearing old-fashioned clothing dance in the streets of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods. Some groups carry heavy black sticks which they bash(敲擊) against each other while they dance. Other groups wave handkerchiefs (手帕)in the air when they perform. The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when they are over，the dancers and audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer. The festivities will often continue long into the night,by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again!
Morris dancing is a great English tradition but it's facing a big crisis(危機). As the years go by fewer and fewer young people are joining morris dancing groups. The dancers are getting older and older and if nothing is done to change this trend, the tradition will die out within the next few decades. If you've ever had the fortune to see morris dancing，you may understand why teenagers aren't rushing to sign up. Putting it clearly, it's not exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-old to be doing! Why dress up in bells and funny clothes when you could be going clubbing Or playing sport Or doing anything else However, it would be a great shame to lose such a fun part of England's history and culture. It's important to look after some traditions and customs especially when it's something as harmless and happy as morris dancing. So here's a toast（祝酒) to the next generation of would-be morris dancers!
42.What can we learn about morris dancers
A.They sing songs about beer.
B.They beat each other with black sticks.
C.They offer handkerchiefs to the audience.
D.They usually drink beer after the performance.
43.What difficulty does morris dancing face
A.It may disappear in future.
B.All the dancers are too old.
C.lt is hard for people to learn.
D.Nothing can be done to develop it.
44.What do the questions suggest in Paragraph 4
A.The young are busy with other things.
B.The young think morris dancing is boring.
C.The young have all kinds of interests in life.
D.The young always like doing the coolest things.
45.What does the author want to express in the last paragraph
A.Morris dancing brings fun to people.
B.England has rich history and culture.
C.Morris dancing should be passed down.
D.Some traditions are harmless to be passed down.

What many of us have heard is that it takes 21 days to form a habit in our lifestyle.Unfortunately, a study revealed that the true number is around 66 days, or over 2 months. 46. Here are some key tips to help you make continuous learning a habit in your life.
Start small. Make sure that you can reasonably complete the tasks that you set for yourself .They don’t have to be large tasks. It might just be to read one article per day on a particular topic or cook 3 new dishes per week. You are more likely to continue with lifelong learning if you succeed in completing your goals. 47.
Change and adjust. If something that you have arranged isn't working for you, you can change it. 48 For example, if you are assigned a task that doesn't seem to be helping you achieve your goals or is too difficult for you, change the task to something that is more suitable.
49 Friends that also participate in lifelong learning can motivate you, create a strong support system and make learning more enjoyable. You can learn new skills together, play games in order to learn or begin a new project as a group.
Make learning a priority（優先事項） 50 So the desire has to come from within. Once you decide you want to make constant learning a habit, it is up to you to make it a priority in your life. Set learning goals, make a plan, and take action to keep yourself moving.
A．Surround yourself with other lifelong learners.
B．Find jobs that encourage learning.
C．This doesn't mean you should give up.
D．Few external forces are going to persuade you to learn.
E．You are in charge of your own learning experience.
