Once upon a time, the colors of the world quarreled without stop.

Green said： "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me. all animals would die.”

Yellow smiled quietly： **You are so serious. I bring laughter, pleasure, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Without me there would be no fun.”

Orange started next to blow herself： " I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce （稀有的），but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins."

Red could stand it no longer, shouting out： “I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood—life's blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon.”

Indigo（靛蓝色）spoke more quietly but with just as much determination： "Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. You need me for balance and inner peace."

The colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own advantages. Their quarreling became louder and louder.

Suddenly there was a surprising flash of bright lightning and thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down cruelly. The colors crouched down（蹲下）in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.

In the midst of the loud noises, rain began to speak： "You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to control the rest. Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me. " Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands. The rain continued：  "From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace.

Vaccination（接种疫苗）is among the most effective ways to help us prevent diseases. For viruses that don't change too much the measles virus（麻疹病毒），for example-getting vaccinated is a once — and — for — all method to prevent you from becoming infected with the virus. If you had two measles vaccines when you were a child, you will be protected for life.

However, it's a different story when it comes to influenza（流行性感冒），commonly known as “the flu”, which generally peaks between December and February. Flu vaccines cannot protect us in the long term.

There is no long-term immunity （免疫），according to Theodore Strange, associate medical director at Staten Island University Hospital in New York. "The virus essentially 'changes its coat'—H1N1, H2N3, and so on." he told the website Healthline.

Apart from a person's immune protection from flu vaccination declining over time, flu viruses are also constantly changing. So the vaccines are likely to be updated from one season to the next to protect against the viruses that research suggests may be the most common during the upcoming flu season.

Thus, to develop effective flu vaccines, over 100 national influenza centers around the world conduct year-round surveillance（监测）for influenza. Researchers will test thousands of influenza virus samples from patients, according to the official website of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention （CDC）. The World Health Organization also suggests there are three or four influenza viruses that are most likely to spread among people during the upcoming flu season.

But even when a vaccine is developed. getting it can prove to be difficult, as it is in high demand and short supply. The timing of influenza vaccine production and distribution is unpredictable, thus the availability of the flu vaccine supply does not always coincide with（与.....一致）peak demand.

So scientists prioritize （划分优先顺序）access to the vaccination. The CDC recommends key populations, such as medical staff, teachers, students, children and those aged 60 and above, receive flu vaccines.

This year the situation seems more complicated, as the upcoming flu season coincides with the COVID-19 pandemic. This could overwhelm hospitals, straining （过度 使用）resources and healthcare workers' time.

28. What do we know about influenza?

A. Influenza viruses are continuously changing.

B. It commonly peaks between November and December.

C. Getting two flu vaccines can protect people against the viruses.

D. H1N1 and H2N3 are the most easily infectious flu viruses.

29. What do researchers do in order to develop effective flu vaccines?

A. They update vaccines once a year. 

B. They monitor the flu throughout the year.

C. They focus on one or two viruses during a period.

D. Influenza centers worldwide share virus samples from patients.

30. Why do scientists prioritize access to the vaccination?

A. Because not all people can afford it.

B. Because some people refuse to get vaccinated.

C. Because the vaccine is not safe for everyone.

D. Because the vaccine doesn't always meet the demand.

31. What does the author think of the upcoming flu season?

A. It could be more challenging than ever for medical workers.

B. Enough resources have been prepared to cope with it.

C. Flu vaccines will be provided for the public in November.

D. The flu vaccines are expected to help prevent COVID-19.

Copenhagen, voted as the "Best City for Cyclists" and "World's Most Livable City”, has a profound bicycle culture, one that is rooted in almost every Copenhagener's daily life.

For Copenhageners, bicycles are one of the best means of transportation. They are convenient, fast and environmentally friendly. Every morning, when I head to school. I can see a great many cyclists from all age groups riding their well-equipped and beautifully designed bicycles to school or work. What is most unbelievable for me is that even those aged 70 or 80 still prefer biking as their main mode of transportation.

The Danes' passion for bicycles is similar to the Chinese craze for ping-pong or Brazilians' love of football； many great cyclists arise in Denmark who have already achieved great success in the international sporting arena. One example is Larsen Norman Hansen, a Danish professional road and track racing cyclist, who won one gold medal and two silver medals in big events. In addition, bikes are also huge part of the recreational life of many young Danes. One of my Danish friends, Laurits Genz, a 21-year-old Chinese studies student from Copenhagen University, has a hobby of rebuilding old bicycles. He has collected many old bikes from a recycling station near his home and completely restored them, giving them new parts and a fresh coat of paint. He believes that eventually, all of these bikes with that “classic“ look are going to be very sought after and valuable.

Some people might wonder why bike-related culture is so universal and popular in Copenhagen, but not as much so in other parts of the world. I would name a couple of reasons： First of all, the infrastructure constructed in Copenhagen is very cyclist friendly. On many roads in Copenhagen, if cyclists can ride their bikes at the speed of 20 kph and remain stable, they can surf through on a wave of green traffic lights through the city without putting a foot down. It's absolutely a great environment. Another factor is the government's friendliness to cyclists. Because of this government policy, bikers enjoy a sort of encouraged state of privilege（特权），meaning they will stick to this means of transportation even during the coldest winter season. Danes' tendency toward a healthy and environmentally friendly lifestyle also lends itself to choosing cycling.

32. What makes the author feel most surprised according to Paragraph 2?

A. People aged 70 or 80 preferring biking.

B. The advantages represented by bicycles.

C. The passion for bicycles shown by Danes.

D. Bike-related culture rooted in Danes' daily life.

33. How many factors contribute to the popularity of riding bikes in Copenhagen?

A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.

34. What can we learn from the text?

A. Larsen Norman Hansen won three gold medals in big events.

B. Bicycles are the best means of transportation in Copenhagen.

C. Everyone in Denmark can rebuild old bicycles by themselves.

D. The government policy is in favor of this kind of transportation.

35. What does the underlined phrase "sought after" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Fashionable.        B. Newly-designed.

C. Popular.                D. Well-equipped.
