Somebody gave me an award! In my entire life, I have only ever received one award: in 2000, I was named Most Helpful by my university drama society.

This time, however, I won an actual award! Admittedly, there was no big awards ceremony. just an email and a social media post. But, nevertheless, it's given me a glow of pride. Somebody acknowledged my achievements!

The problem is that society seems to favor youth. There are a million '30 under 30' lists which [ was never on, and yet it was only last year that the magazine. Forbes launched its '50 over 50' list. But while I don't want to take those awards away from the kids, 1 know if someone had declared me an 'up-and-coming' anything at 30, I'd have been as terrified as I was delighted; so much to live up to. Now, however, I am grabbing that award and shouting: "At last, the recognition I deserve!", because I know how much work I've put in, and I'm not about to let anyone lessen that.

If I was to list the advantages of getting older, then the ability to recognize my accomplishments and to be proud of them would be at the very top. Heard too many times, it's boring to say that we women put ourselves down, but too often we push away praise, rather than taking it up like the cat who got the cream. For most of us, praise is not a daily gift. So, when it comes, we need to allow ourselves to receive it. And if no one else is giving it to us, we need to give it to ourselves.

It works the other way, too. My new favourite hobby is writing emails to the head offices of restaurants and shops, to tell them how lovely their staff are. It makes me feel good, and I hope it does them, too.

A friend once told me about a self-development course she'd been on where participants had to shout 'I apprise of my decision!', and then high-five themselves. I put this ritual into my daily life. Now, I am done. And, then, I'm writing myself an email of praise. Because, like that award, I deserve it.

24. What made the author feel proud of getting the award this time?

A. The big awards ceremony.

B. The social media post.

C. The second award after her graduation.

D. The recognition of her achievements.

25. What does the author want to tell in paragraph 3?

A. Society presents unfairness to youth.

B. Her years-long effort pays off eventually.

C. She is confident enough to be superior to kids.

D. She is too scared to live up to others' expectations.

26. What does the underlined “ritual" in paragraph 6 probably mean?

A. Practice.

B. Course.

C. Hobby.

D. Need.

27. What advice would the author like to give women?

A. Being content with their own life.

B. Being appreciative of themselves.

C. Being generous to their lovely staff.

D. Being modest about their achievements.

Your morning coffee could be used to make a pair of sneakers, a Finnish startup says. Rens can make new shoes from old coffee, cutting back on waste in terms of space in landfills and methane （甲 烷）emissions.

5, 000 supporters promised to invest over $500, 000 to see the sneakers come to life. Up to 21 cups of coffee and 6 recycled plastic bottles are used in each pair of shoes. The sneakers come in 9 different colors and are waterproof and super comfortable. In addition, the sneakers can absorb a peculiar smell, and they are designed to be taken off and put on easily.

So far, 250, 000 water bottles and 750, 000 cups of coffee have been turned into these shoes. The small coffee solid pieces are combined in a low-heat environment with recycled plastic to create a coffee yarn in the upper section of the shoes, while recycled plastic is made into the other parts, and the tree sap （液）that biodegrades （降解） creates the outer sole （鞋底）.

While the price is as high as $119 on Amazon, they offer free delivery everywhere, a l-year guarantee on the waterproofing technology, and a 30-day money-back guarantee as well.

A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer.

Research published in the journal Science Advances reported that The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilisation Experiment, better known as Moxie, produced breathable oxygen in seven hour- long tests conducted in various weather and atmospheric conditions since landing last year.

During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. "This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planet's body and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission, " Jeffrey Hoffman, a retired astronaut, said.

Hoffman, 77, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT） aeronautics department, said the results were "historic". NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a bigger version of Moxie. They hope advanced models will produce enough oxygen to support a crewed mission to Mars and generate the gas needed to send a rocket back to Earth.

"To support a human mission to Mlars we have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth. " Hoffman said. The thin atmosphere on Mars is 96 per cent carbon dioxide and much more variable than on Earth. "The density of the air can vary by a factor of two through the year, and the temperature can vary by 100 degrees, " Hoffman said. "One objective is to show we can run Moxie in all seasons. "

The device uses pumps that suck in carbon dioxide. The gas is healed to 800℃ and compressed to separate the carbon and oxygen. Carbon monoxide （一氧化碳）is emitted as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind.

Scaling up（按比例放大）the device to support a human mission to Mars presents challenges.

NASA and MIT say Moxie would need to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests. The machine would require insulation, a special material, to control its internal temperature.

Moxie has proved durable （持久的）in the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine's limits in the coming months.

32. Which word best describes Hoffman's attitude to Moxie?

A. Skeptical.

B. Tolerant.

C. Positive.

D. Critical.

33. What is the last step of Moxie's working?

A. To take in carbon dioxide.

B. To separate the carbon and oxygen.

C. To press the carbon dioxide together.

D. To heat the carbon dioxide to 800℃.

34. Why are NASA and the MIT planning to scale up Moxie?

A. To bring stuff to Mars.

B. To send rockets to Mars.

C. To control its internal temperature.

D. To support a human mission to Mars.

35. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Oxygen production on Mars makes it possible to survive there.

B. Moxie produced enough oxygen to support a human mission.

C. A toaster on the Mars produced breathable oxygen in the tests.

D. The team plans to assess Moxie's limits in the coming months.

Recently our class have had a debate. Its topic focuses on if it is necessary to use high technology to beautify the Palace Museum. As for this, different students hold different opinion.

Some are in favor of the creative idea because of the use of high technology can add beauty to the Palace Museum, thus make it more attractive to visitors. Therefore, those who are against the idea thinks that this technology will destroy the original appearance of the Palace Museum. More important, it is extremely essential to respect the history and tradition.

From me point of view, other measures can be taken attract more visitors. And it's our duty to provide the complete and genuine ancient palace for the world.
