chocolates;you never know what youre gonna get.”The surprise is part of the fun.Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging but invisible from the outside.You dont know what will be inside,although the toys typically come from pop culture,ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced fromJapantoChinain 2014.According to a 2019 Tmall report,the mini-series of Labubu blind box,designed byHong Kong-born Kasing Lung,was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event.Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper,blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances.The typically cute cartoon figurines come in miniature sizes,making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations,the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people.Its the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,”said Miss Cao,24,who lives and works inShenyang.Speaking to Sina News,she said:“Until you open all the boxes,you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives,something small but fun to wait for each day,week or month.When people open this simple little box,they may be disappointed,but the uncertainty is part of the fun.People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makesForrest Gump,dont be surprised if he says,“Life is like a blind box.”1.Why is the famous saying in the filmForrest Gumpquoted at the beginning?A.To arouse the readers interest.B.To present the writers view.C.To introduce the topic.D.To highlight the fun of blind boxes.2.Which of the following is the main feature that makes blind box so popular?A.Miniature sizes.B.Cute appearances.C.Fear of the unknown.D.Mystery and uncertainty.3.What can we learn from the passage?A.Blind box became popular in 2019 after being first introduced fromJapantoChina.B.Blind box toys typically originated in pop culture,varying from movies to cartoons.C.Blind box toys was designed and named by Hong Kong-born Kasing Lung.D.When people open this simple little box,they will feel disappointed.B Ten years ago,I set out to examine luck.I wanted to know why some people were always in the right place at the right time,while others consistently experienced ill fortune.I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky.Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research.Over the years I have interviewed them,monitored their lives and had them take part in various experiments.In one of the experiments,I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper,asking them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside.I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper,saying,“Tell the experimenter you have seen this and you will win$50.”This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high.It was staring everyone in the face,but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.Unlucky people are generally more nervous than lucky people,and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the unexpected.As a result,they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else.They go to gatherings concentrating on finding their perfect partners and miss opportunities to make good friends.They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.Lucky people are more relaxed and open,and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for.My research eventually showed that lucky people are skilled at noticing opportunities,make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition(直觉),are open to new experiences,and adopt a never-say-die attitude that transforms bad luck into good luck.4.Whats the purpose of the authors research?A.To discover what luck means to people.B.To find lucky people and unlucky people.C.To distinguish between good luck and bad luck.D.To figure out why people are always lucky or unlucky.5.Why did the unlucky people miss the message in the experiment?A.There was too much information to be read in detail.B.They were too focused on looking for photographs.C.It took too much time to go through newspapers.D.The words were too small to be noticed.6.What leads to lucky peoples good fortune?A.Their ability to spot opportunities.B.Their ability to become relaxed.C.Their ability to communicate.D.Their ability to make friends.7.Whats the key message of the last paragraph?A.What lucky people are looking for.B.How lucky people generate good luck.C.What lucky people can do with opportunities.D How lucky people transform bad luck into good luck.C When you think of the icy Arctic Ocean,do you picture cold blue waters,on which float(漂浮)icebergs home to animals and fish not seen elsewhere on the planet?Think again,or rather add 300 billion pieces of plastic(塑料)to your picture.Thats the amount of plastic that scientists believe is floating around the Arctic Ocean.Most of the plastic is in the area to the east of Greenland and north of Scandinavia.Where did it come from?After all,the lands near the Arctic are not really full of people.It turns out that ocean currents are carrying plastic thrown into the ocean all the way to the Arctic.An ocean current is an unending movement of sea water from one point to another.It is caused by several things including heat from the Sun,wind and movement of the Earth.Many of these plastic pieces seem to have travelled for years before reaching the Arctic.This was worked out by scientists studying the plastic problem after they observed the condition of the pieces.While much plastic floats on top of the water,a lot also may be on the sea floor.Plastic has been widely used for 60 years on Earth and our careless throwing of plastic things is slowly turning the once perfectly clean Arctic into a dangerous place.Unlike food waste and plant waste,plastic doesnt break down so easily.In fact the United States Environment Protection Organization reports that“every bit of plastic ever made still exists”.Whats the effect?Seabirds,sea turtles and other ocean creatures could get hurt and die when they accidentallyswallowplastic.Plastic waste affects fishing,affecting people who earn money through fishing.Plastics can let out dangerous poisons(毒物)into the water.These may be swallowed by fish,and when these fish are caught and eaten by people or bigger animals,they could get poisoned too!8.What can we learn from the passage?A.The Arctic Ocean is heavily polluted.B.The plastic is mostlyin the area in the east of Greenland.C.An ocean current is just caused by the movement of the earth.D.Much more plastic floats on top of the water.9.Which of the following doesnt contribute to the plastic ocean?A.Humans throw away plastic things at will.B.Ocean currents carry plastic things everywhere.C.Plastic can let out harmful things into the water.D.Plastic is hard to break down.10.What does the underlined word“swallow”in the last Paragraph mean?A.Break down.B.Take in.C.Accept.D.Touch.11.Whats the best title of the text?A.Are Men to Blame for Plastic Ocean?B.Arctic Ocean and Its Future!C.Is Plastic Harmful?D.Arctic Ocean or Plastic Ocean?D A teenager in Georgia will no longer have to walk 7 miles to work after school thanks to one womans act of kindness.Jayden Sutton,a high school senior,went on foot each day from school to his job at a restaurant and then back home.Sutton was determined to work and make enough money to eventually buy his own vehicle.Sutton said hed leave school at 3:30 pm,then walk miles to his job at the restaurant.After his work,which usually lasted six to eight hours,he walked home,sometimes not arriving back until almost midnight.That all changed when Myers saw him walking down the road in the rain in December.“The young man was insistently in a rush walking to work,saying I cant be late,”Myers said.“He begged me to give him a ride.I told him I could take him as far as I was going.I began to create small talk along the way.It wasrevealedto me that his name was Jayden,12th grader,worked 40 hours a week,walked 5 miles to work immediately after school,got off at 10:30 pm at night and walked back home another 5 miles if co-workers didnt offer a ride.”After dropping Sutton off,Myers said his heart and determination filled her with tears.“He was smiling in good spirits and thats a child worth blessing,”she told Fox News.So,Myers shared Suttons story on the GoFundMe page,which raised more than$9,000 from 186 donors.She surprised Sutton with a new car after she managed to convince the general manager to drop the price of the vehicle to meet the budget.12.Why did Sutton work so hard in his spare time?A.To gain working experience.B.To pay for his education.C.To own a car.D.To support his family.13.What difficulty did Sutton have in his work at the restaurant?A.He worked longer than other workers.B.His work was too tiring.C.His job was much less paid.D.He had to walk to work.14.What does the underlined word“revealed”in paragraph 4 mean?A.Known.B.Attached.C.Believed.D.Limited.15.What do we know about the money donated online?A.It could buy more than a new car.B.It was not enough to buy a new car.C.It was given to Myers to buy
