The girl’s father, a heavy drinker, is trying t frce her t supprt the family by marrying a stranger in exchange fr 30,000 yuan.
This scene takes place in the TV series She and Her Girls, which has earned a scre f 9.4 ut f 10 pints n the ppular review website Duban, making it the highest-rated Chinese drama n the platfrm this year.
With Sng Jia playing the lead rle f Zhang, the bigraphical drama is adapted frm the real-life experiences f the female middle schl headmaster, a pineer educatr wh funded the Huaping Senir High Schl fr Girls in Lijiang, Yunnan prvince, in 2008.
As China’s first public all-female high schl t ffer free educatin and financial assistance (经济援助) fr living expenses, the schl has helped mre than 2,000 girls frm pr and rural backgrunds t enter clleges.

The agricultural pests knwn as plant bugs (虫子) can be a farmer’ s wrst enemy. A Csta Rican flwer has turned them int friends, hwever, accrding t a new study. One kind f the s-called arum plant has develped t attract a kind f plant bug, helping them spread their pllen (花粉) far and wide.
“This is a new finding fr eclgy and bilgy,” says Zng-Xin Ren, an evlutinary eclgist wh did nt jin in the wrk. The find cmes by accident. Flrian Etl, a graduate student wrking with evlutinary bilgist Jürg Schönenberger at the University Vienna, was studying the rle f beetles (甲虫) in pllinating plants. On that imprtant night, Etl waited all night fr arum plants t give ut an evening sweet smell that attracts beetles. But it wasn’t beetles that were attracted—it was plant bugs.
Eager t knw why, Etl made a chemical analysis f the sweet smell. When Etl cvered white paper cnes (锥形物) with the chemical, the cnes attracted large numbers f the plant bugs. Mrever, when Etl cvered the arum plant’s natural flwers with a fine net t keep away frm the plant bugs, n seeds were prduced.
“The change frm being pllinated by a beetle t a plant bug is an amazing change,” says Regis Ferriere, a theretical eclgist at the University f Arizna.
“It’s nt clear hw this discvery culd help farmers fight plant bugs. But the discvery cnveys an imprtant prtectin message,” Ollertn says. “Attempts t prtect pllinatrs need t g beynd just ‘Save the Bees’ campaigns.”
28．What des the underlined wrd “them” in Paragraph 1 refer t?
A．Farmers. B．Flwers. C．Plants. D．Bugs.
29．Hw did Flrian Etl find the plant bugs?

C．By lking fr the beetles. D．By wrking with Zng-Xin Ren.
30．What d we knw abut the plant bugs?
A．They are attracted by the beetles.
B．They can help the plants spread pllen.
C．They are mre active than beetles during the day.
D．They make little difference t the flwers f the plant.
31．Which f the fllwing can be used t describe the study?
A．A bad thing never dies with time ging.
B．A fx may grw gray, but never gd.
C．A gd beginning makes a gd ending.
D．Many things grw that were never swn in the garden.

Tday’s yung adults (aged 18-34) seem t avid phne calls altgether, with a quarter admitting they’ve never even answered ne.
A recent survey shws a clear change in cmmunicatin styles. Texting plays a leading rle, with ver 70% f yung adults lving it. Vice ntes are als very ppular, being liked by nearly 40%. It seems linked t a general dislike f unexpected calls; mre than half cnnect them with bad news. Interestingly, this aversin (讨厌) t phne calls isn’t shared by elders. Only 1% f thse aged 35-54 use mre texts than calls.
The survey suggests a generatinal change in cmmunicatin styles. Phne calls, nce a useful tl fr cnnectin, are nw seemingly drpping in favr f ther methds like texting and vice ntes.
As reprted, the yung have played a main rle in the nline messages and text messages. An rdinary explanatin fr their unwillingness t answer phne calls is the pressure cnnected with them. Mre than half f them think there are negative news when receiving unexpected calls. The yung generally like planned phne cnversatins as the primary means f cmmunicatin.
Whatever the case, it’s clear that tday, we dn’t even imagine cmmunicating withut the help f a phne. New technlgies, such as scial media, wuld ruin human relatinships in the lng term. As a matter f fact, this may already be happening.
Indeed, we can’t ignre the value f the vice in human relatins. Listening t the expressin f anther persn brings us much clser t them. It’s als easier t emtinally cnnect with thers in this way. Text messages are mre ften misunderstd. When cmmunicating smething serius, it’s always better t make a phne call.
32．What causes the change in cmmunicatin styles?
A．The yung feel pleasant t answer phne calls.
B．All f the yung think vice ntes are ppular.
C．Few yung peple cnnect them with bad news.
D．The yung are unwilling t receive unexpected calls.
33．What the functin f the numbers listed in paragraph 2?
A．T prvide evidence. B．T make a cmparisn.
C．T draw a cnclusin. D．T explain the reasns.
34．What can we learn abut making a phne call frm the last paragraph?
A．It is easier t respnd t.B．It makes us feel far away.
C．It brings a clser cnnectin.D．It is mre ften misunderstd.
35．What is the best title fr the text?
A．Answer a phne call in n time!B．Put away yur phne while talking!
C．Can making a phne call be replaced?D．Hw can we cmmunicate in the future?
