The corona-virus pandemic(新冠病毒流行) made a great difference in people’s life in 2020. There is an unusual way to change the bad moods caused by it. It could be seen in letters to Father Christmas arriving at a post office in Southwest France. The post office answered mails sent to the traditional Father Christmas from around the world.
Jim, a little boy from Taiwan, put a face mask inside the letter he sent to Father Christmas and wrote “I U”. Alina, 5, in her letter, asked Father Christmas to use the front door because the back door was only used by Grandma and grandpa to reduce their risk of catching the new corona-virus. And 10-year-old Lola wrote that she was wishing “that my aunt never has cancer again and that there will be no virus any more”.
“My mother is a care-giver, so she has to take care of many patients or disabilities, and sometimes I am worried about her,” Lola explained. She ended with “take care of yourself, Father Christmas”. Thousands of letters arrived. They showed what children were thinking about this Christmas season after a year of illness and hard lives. Young Zoe asked only for a music player and a visit to a theme park, because “this year has been very different from others because of COVID-19”.
The earliest letters were opened on November 12. Then, it quickly became clear that the pandemic was worrying children. Thirty percent of the letters discussed the pandemic. “The kids have been very influenced by COVID, more than we think. They are very worried. What they want most of all is really to be able to have a normal life, the end of COVID, a vaccine(疫苗), not only the presents,” she said. “We are like masters of therapy(治疗),” she added.
Emma Barron works for the health of children and teenagers at a hospital in Paris. She said important days like birthdays or Christmas could give children a sense of safety. “They are an important part of the child’s happiness,” she said. “This year, they are especially important.” 1. To change the bad moods caused by the corona-virus pandemic, children ______. A. wrote letters to Father Christmas B. met Father Christmas at a post office C. asked Father Christmas to come home D. answered letters from the whole world 2. Alina advised Father Christmas to use the front door because ______.

The Chinese youth are quick to accept products(产品) based on traditional and popular culture. This time, some young students got a chance to design such products by themselves.
In a college design competition named “The Heart of Beijing --- Young Interesting You”, players were asked to make their own designs to spread Beijing’s culture, such as the Temple of Heaven, Bell Tower and Drum Tower. Thousands of students handed in their designs.
Li Weiyu won the competition. She was a student who graduated from Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology. “I designed several sets of jewellery. In my work, I mixed the elements(元素) of traditional culture with people’s preferences(偏好) in modern life, which I thought most players were doing. I didn’t simply put the elements together, but chose the parts that were symbols of culture like the wings of a kite shaped like a Chinese swallow. I thought they were really pretty and special,” she said. Lu Xiaoyin, leader of Perfect World Games, said the meaning behind hosting the competition was getting young people to realize that they had a duty to protect Chinese traditional culture.
“Chinese traditional culture is rich and has a lasting influence. But many young people don’t think they have a relationship with it. So it is very important to create products that will attract younger people, making them understand it easily. This will create interest for them and encourage them to carry the culture forward,” said Lu.
The crash between traditional and popular culture is opening up thousands of years of Chinese history in creative and unusual ways. And the work includes the creative ideas of these young people,
who are giving fresh meaning to the saying “Everything old is new again”. 1. What made Li Weiyu’s product different from the others’? A. She simply put the elements together
B. She added some symbols of culture to her work C. She handed in her designs earlier than the others D. She designed a Chinese swallow in the competition 2. The purpose of holding the competition is to ______. A. make the Chinese youth accept new products B. protect and spread Chinese culture
C. know if students can create products by themselves D. let people realize the importance of the youth’s works
3. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Chinese swallows B. The wings of a kite
C. Some sets of jewellery D. Some symbols of culture 4. In paragraph 4-5, Lu Xiaoyin advised people to ______. A. mix old things with new ones B. make all old things become new
C. help more young people love traditional culture D. carry the culture forward by selling new products 5. What may be the best title of this passage?
A. Design competition B. Chinese modern culture C. The ways to design products D. Chinese traditional culture

Many people think stress is bad for health. It raises the risk(风险) of everything from the common cold to serious diseases. Usually, we turn stress into the enemy. However, a study has given us a whole new look at it.
In the study, if people with lots of stress don’t believe stress can harm them, they will have the lowest risk of dying, including people with a little stress.
Can changing how you think about stress make you healthier? Science says yes. When you change your mind about stress, you can change your body’s response(反应) to stress.

When you choose to think your stress response is helpful, you create the biology of courage. When you are stressed and choose to communicate with others, you can create resilience(韧性).
You can get away from the bad influence of stress on your health. The most amazing thing is that stress makes you social. Your stress response wants to make sure you notice others in trouble so that you can support each other. When life is hard, your stress response wants you to stay with people who care about you.
Also, stress is not useless. It helps us reach our hearts. Our kindness finds joy and meaning in contacting others. Your heart beats so fast to give you strength and energy. You should think of stress in a new way. If so, you’re just getting better at stress. You can trust yourself to deal with challenges and believe you don’t have to face them on your own.
