dining,vacations,and hugging ourfriends again,my friend Ana texted that her mother,living in Brazil,had been infectedby the coronavirus.I wont go into details here,but the disruption to life in Brazilhave been especially upsetting considering their social and cultural norms(规范).Ana is Brazilian,and Im from the US.While living in New York City,webecame fast friends despite the few awkward cultural differences I learned to dealwith.She was comfortable with intimacy;I preferred to keep my distance.She likedthe company of many;I liked the friendship of few.It was awkward for me to lean infor a quick hug,only to be embraced then kissed on the cheeks.To this day,Im notan excellent cheek kisser,but I try.She is one of many people over the years whohave educated me,in a way,about delighting in cultural difference.I called Ana to check on her mother and I was primarily curious about how socialand cultural norms have been affected.Its difficult,said Ana,because the necessaryhealth regulations are opposite to“what we believe and everything we know aboutliving in a community and displaying feelings of love”,but she hasnt given up hope.I asked if the shifts made during the pandemic will change cultural norms.“Absolutely not,”said Ana.This is who Brazilians are in nature and change doesnthappen overnight.They spend a lot of time and energy investing in relationships,andthe deeply rooted social conventions wont change quickly.Over the years,Ana has shared many stories that emphasize the differences in ourupbringing.I delight in our differences,even if kissing on the cheek makes meuncomfortable.We find our commonalities,like talking with our hands,beingexpressive,and valuing community.And we learn from our differences.COVIDdisrupted many things,but through all of this,Ana said,we must constantly beadjusting,understanding,and doing whats best for our communities and the peoplewe love.24.Which of the following words can best replace the

own comfort zone.CShe enjoys the close contact with others.DIt took a long time for her to make friends with me.26Why doesntAna think the pandemic will change social and cultural norms?ABecause the Brazilians are born to be sociable.BBecause the social conventions are easy to change.CBecause the health regulations consist with her beliefs.DBecause Brazilians rarely value investment in relationships.27What would be the best title for the passage?AMyAttitude towards FriendshipBSocial and Cultural norms in the PandemicCThe Influence of COVID-19 on LifeDMyAcceptance of Cultural DifferencesCWith smart technology increasingly influencing all aspects of our lives,it is onlya matter of time before someone invents smart shoesones that can be made basedon personal needs.Called“ShiftWear”,the sneakers are the brainchild of a team ofbusinessmen,and engineers led by New York-based designer David Coelho.The adaptable shoes can be customized by using a smart phone app.Shoe ownerswill have the option of selecting a design from a variety of HD patterns by famousartists or creating one themselves.The companys founders imagine marketplacewhere artists can not only share also sell their designs to others.Despite beingelectronic,the designs are clearly visible even in the brightest sunlight.Whats evencooler is that by switching on backlight,users can even show off their designs in thedark!According to Coelho,the sneakers will keep their charge forever if only imagesare displayed.Though they will need periodic recharging,active users have nothingto worry about.Thats because he shoes are equipped with special Walk-to-Chargetechnology that powers the shoes with every step.Inactive users also have options ofcharging the sneakers without using wires.The bottom part of the shoes is covered with Kevlar fiber,a kind of strongmaterial,reducing normal wear and tear.Even better,they are completely waterproofand can even be thrown into an ordinary washing machine for a quick wash!Thecompany predicts that the shoes will range in price from$150 to$1,000 depending onthe size of the e-panels where the designs are displayed.This isnotthe firsttime

climate change.Scientists studied epaulette sharks,which live off Australia and New Guinea.They found that warmer conditions sped up the sharks growing process.That meantthe sharks were born earlier and very tired.The findings could be used in the study ofother sharks,including those that give birth to live young.The scientists studied 27 sharks.Some were raised in average summer watertemperatures,about 27 degrees Celsius.Others were raised in higher temperaturesaround 29 degrees Celsius and31 degrees Celsius.They found that the sharks raised inthe warmest temperatures weighed much less than those raised in averagetemperatures.They also showed reduced energy levels.Epaulette sharks can grow to a length of about one meter.Their name comesfrom large spots on their bodies that look like decorations on some military clothing.One study this year found that worldwide numbers of oceanic sharks and raysdropped more than 70 percent between1970 and 2018.Overfishing is a mainconcern,while climate change and pollution also threaten sharks.Carolyn Wheeler is a doctoral student at the University of Massachusetts Bostonand with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James CookUniversity in Australia.She is the lead author of the epaulette shark study.She saidthat while all the sharks survived,those raised in warmer temperatures were notstrong enough survive for long in the wild.She added that if the sharks are born smaller than usual,they are probably goingto have to start looking for food sooner-and theyre going to have less time to adjust totheir surroundings.The study should serve as a warning to ocean governing agencies that carefulmanagement is needed to prevent the loss of more sharks.32.Why are they called epaulette

that hurts you.36The followingare some ways to catch criticism before it begins.37Before you criticize,pause and consider whether you really need to sayanything at all.If someone did something to get on your nerves,would you reallyneed to point it out?Sometimes,its best to let small rudeness go.Take a few deepbreaths and leave the room instead of criticizing.Be realistic.Critical people often have very high expectations of those aroundthem.Your tendency to criticize may come from expecting too much from others.Sometimes you may find yourself consistently annoyed or disappointed with others.38Separate the individuals from their actions.Critical people often focus on thenegative aspects of a situation or a person,failing to see good qualities alongsidenegative ones.If you find

critical results from how youre choosingto see a situation.40However,the vast majority of people have good qualitiesthat outweigh the bad ones.Try to focus on a persons positive qualities over theirnegative ones.ANever criticize others.BThink before you speak.CEveryone has drawbacks and imperfections.DIt may be a good idea to adjust your expectations.EWe should focus on other peoples disappointing actions.FTry to separate a disappointing action from the person doing the action.GBeing overly critical,however,can cause tension in a relationship over time.第三部分第三部分
