Christian Liden decided that he wuld nt pick ut a ring frm a jeweler's like mst ther peple. He hatched an ambitius plan t create a persnalized ring fr his future wife, Desirae Clvis.

Since its pening, nly 1 in10,000 park visitrs is lucky enugh t find a diamnd that weighs a carat r mre. Still, he was up fr the challenge.
On their way, Liden and Tucker stpped in Helena, Mntana, t mine fr accmpanying jewels t add t the diamnd they hped t scre. In Arkansas, the pair paid $10 each t get int the park and spent almst three days searching thrugh the vlcanic dirt.
On the third mrning, Liden suddenly sptted smething reflecting light in the sands. "I was s excited that I started shaking." he said, "It was ily and shiny, and we bth just knew it was a Diamnd."
It was cnfirmed that Liden had fund a 2.2-carat yellw diamnd. Similarly-sized diamnds g fr $2,500 t $20,000 per carat, depending n quality, clr and cut. But the value wasn't what was imprtant t Liden.
When he pulled ut the diamnd and gt n his knee upn his return, Clvis was amazed. "I knew that he was ging t prpse smeday, but I certainly didn't expect this."

"Latte papa" is a term that refers t an attentive and attractive Swedish dad that can ften be fund with kids in cffee shps with prams（婴儿车）wearing designer clthes. Men with prams have becme such a familiar sight since shared parental leave was first intrduced in 1974 in Sweden.
In Malm, the papas ften utnumber the mamas. I'll find myself sitting crss legged next t a quite Swedish engineer, a biker, r a cmputer prgrammer as ur children play with tys.
This type f stylish dad gained prminence in the 2010s. Thrugh the family leave prgram, bth parents receive a cllective 480 days and the parents can chse wh gets t use them. This has led t mre dads staying hme with the kids and has allwed mre wmen t pursue their careers.
It's arund 6 p. m. and my daughter Eira is crying and I can't wrk ut what she wants. I try walking her arund the kitchen fr what seems like the 50th time tday. I thrw a furry ty at her, hping it'll cmfrt her. I've tried all bjects that have fascinated in the past, but nthing wrks. When my wife Mia finally gets hme, I hand the baby ver and drp exhausted n t the sfa. I'm s tired that I'm in bed by nine, and sleep thrugh until 5:30 a. m., when her cughing and crying wakes me t the next day f my six mnth.
It has nly taken a few weeks f this fr me t knw what the majrity f British fathers never find ut. When I thught I was being sympathetic t my wife during her child leave, I wasn't being nearly sympathetic enugh. And when I thught I was being understanding, I didn't understand a thing.
In Sweden, men's painful discvery f hw exhausting it is t lk after a baby is believed t aid parental harmny. Swedes tend t see generus shared parental leave as gd fr the ecnmy, since it prevents the natin's investment in wmen's educatin frm ging t waste.
28. Why is "Latte papa" mentined in Paragraph 1?
A. T cmment n parental leave. B. T supprt the authr's pinin.
C. T stress the imprtance f the plicy. D. T intrduce the tpic f parental leave.
29. What des the underlined wrd "prminence" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Talent. B. Reputatin. C. Career. D. Cnfidence.
30. What can be inferred frm Paragraph 4 and 5?
A. The authr is gd at taking care f kids.
B. The authr really enjys attending t kids.
C. It is challenging fr the authr t lk after kids.
D. The authr' wife is relaxed during her child leave.
31. Accrding t Swedes, what is the advantage f parental leave?
A. It is beneficial t the ecnmic develpment.
B. It helps parents t be sympathetic t their kids.
C. It helps bst the understanding between friends.
D. It leads t natin's investment in wmen's health.

In Asia, meetings d nt begin until business cards have been exchanged. It is n mere frmality. If a new acquaintance fails t give a card t Glenn Lim f CEO Asia, a Singaprean cmpany, "it makes me frget them," he says.
Yet the pandemic has put the business card n life supprt. Netwrking is difficult when white-cllar wrkers have fled t hme ffices, business lunches have been canceled and cnferences have been held nline. Orders fr business cards frm Vistaprint, a multinatinal printing cmpany, decreased by 70%in late March and early. April and fllwing mnths have yet t recver fully. Mr. Lim nrmally hands ut abut 200 cards a mnth. In the six mnths fllwing Singapre's lckdwn in March, he assumes he received abut five. "I've frgtten what business cards lk like," remarks a British banker based in Singapre.
But it is still helpful t knw wh is wh at meetings, even when they take place n Zm. Cmpanies are therefre reimagining the business card fr the era f scial distancing. Nagaya, a Japanese firm, prints them n face masks. After the launch f the "Meishi "mask, traffic t Nagaya's website increased by 65, 000%. Sansan, anther Japanese firm, ffers"virtual cards". Users receive QR cdes which they display as virtual backgrunds n vide-cnferencing apps. Scanning the cde with a phne camera will summn（召唤）the user's digital business card. Sme 4,300 cmpanies have begun using Sansan's virtual cards since they launched in June.
But Mr. Lim, wh uses Sansan's virtual cards, des nt plan n thrwing away the paper versin just yet. Peple tend t exchange virtual cards after meetings have started r as they end, frcing participants t ask wh des what during the meeting itself.
"That's smetimes a little bit rude," he says. Many thers in Singapre are evidently fnd f paper cards, t. Sales at Express-Print, a printing cmpany, have picked up in the past tw mnths, as mre peple restart in-persn meetings. Even Edward Senju, the head f Sansan's peratins in Squth-East Asia, still keeps in his wallet, "just in case".
32. What des the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. We can't stp using the business card.
B. Pandemic brught the business card t life.
C. Netwrking needs the supprt f business card.
D. The industry f business card has been declining.
33. What des the authr intend t tell us in Paragraph 3?
A. Scial distancing is shrtened t virtual cards.
B. Virtual cards are increasingly ppular in business.
C. Wearing masks has brught prfits t the cmpany.
D. Science and technlgy is the fundatin f business.
34. What is Mr Lim's attitude twards paper business cards?
A. Objective. B. Dubtful. C. Critical. D. Supprtive.
35. What wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Here is my QR cde B. Business cards becme a hit
C. Here cmes a new ecnmic era D. The pandemic takes a blw t business

That lng and restless night witnessed Keith tssing and turning in bed. Frtunately, the sense f mrality tk ver. The next mrning he was determined t return the handphne t the wner. After schl, he tld Mary, "I am ging t phne the wner."
Mary was very happy t hear that. Upn returning hme, Keith and Mary dialed the number. A yung girl answered the call. Kevin asked, "Are yu the wner f the handphne? I'm Keith. I have yur handphne. Can yu cme and get it?" The girl replied "yes" excitedly, expressing her gratitude repeatedly. Ten minutes later, the girl arrived at the same cafe where Keith had agreed t meet her. Hardly had Keith handed the phne back when the girl hugged it tightly. She then beamed at him, blurting ut, "Thank yu s much". Face flushing red, Keith realized that hnesty was indeed the best plicy.
