21、 American Mark Levine wears many hats in China-educator, author, volunteer, musician, sociologist, cross-cultural communicator, winner of the Chinese government's Friendship Award, and most noticeably, wide-brimmed.
The bushy-bearded 73-year-old is perhaps best known among the Chinese public for writing American country music-style songs about China that he performs in full cowboy regalia. He often sings and plays his guitar to the accompaniment of the erhu played by his friend, Fu Han, in their musical duo, In Side Out. Levine has staged hundreds of performances in 15 provinces, and one had an audience over 50,000, he says.
Fu Han recalls he once performed in a well-known bar in Beijing's Houhai area, and she joined him on stage with her erhu. “A group of tourists from northern Europe came up and watched and filmed us, and started singing with us. I realized a Chinese instrument and face can help better tell China's stories to foreigners. So, they officially became band mates. I'm the 'in' and he's the 'out' in In Side Out,”she explains.
Levine plans to release a song book when he reaches 100 songs. He has so far written over 70 tunes that he calls "musical stories from my Chinese journey,, since he settled in Beijing in 2007 to take an occupation at Minzu University of China, where he still works, largely on account of its ethnic diversity.
Levine says two highlights during his time in the country have been winning the Friendship Award in 2014 and receiving his Chinese “green card” in 2016. Levine hopes it increases cross-cultural understanding. One of his friends says Levine is particularly apt for the task. “Mark is a perfect ambassador for humanity, so to speak, who has found his ideal place here,” he says.
【1】What can we learn from Levine's musical achievement?
A.He has released a book about his songs.
B.He has performed his songs all over China.
C.His biggest concert attracted nearly 50,000 audiences.
D.He combined American music style with Chinese stories.
【2】Why did he determine to work at Minzu University of China?
A.He desired to settle in Beijing.
B.He could win the Friendship Award.
C.He could be exposed to diverse cultures.
D.He could find more musical stories there.
【3】What's the meaning of the underlined word “apt” in the last paragraph?
A.Intelligent.
B.Suitable.
C.Reliable.
D.Enthusiastic.
【4】Which of the following can best describe Levine?
A.Devoted and outspoken.

22、
Dear Mr. Rupp,
The day I met you was the first day of high school. We liked each other immediately. You gave me a lot of advice over the next four years, like how I should get my ass to Berkeley where I belonged. I’m still there, by the way. I wish you were still around, too.
I remember your laugh, which would start with a rough guffaw(狂笑) and end with a hacking smoker’s cough that would make even the most rebellious (叛逆的) teenager decide to lay off the cigarettes. I remember the way you didn’t lower your standards, yet still refused to give up on us. You were tough on us, and we were tough on you. Love is tough sometimes.
The last time I wrote you a letter, it was 2005—four years after I graduated. I had just become a teacher, like you, and it had given me a new appreciation for the work you did with countless high school students over the years.
It’s hard to say what I’ll miss the most about you. There are simply too many memories to sort through those four years, and it hurts to think you’ll never read this letter. I want to believe that you knew how much you meant to your family, your students, your community, and your colleagues, but that would be a lot of realization to handle, even for you.
You changed the lives of everyone around you. Even now, you are reminding me to cherish life and its brevity and beauty, and to tell the people I love how much they mean to me before it is too late.
Dear teacher, dear mentor, and dear friend—I miss you and all that is about you. God bless you in Heaven.
To infinity and beyond,
Teresea

23、MANCHESTER, England — Here’s some good news that vegetarians (素食者) can really sink their teeth into: Researchers in UMA Group have developed genetically (转基因地) engineered fruit trees that produce real meat!
Fruit from the new Meat Trees, developed by British scientists using the gene technology, is closely like ordinary grape-fruit. But when you cut the fruit open, inside is fresh beef!
“Our trees may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but it’s really true,”declares Dr. Vincent, director of the UMA Group, which created the amazing trees. “Vegetarians have been complaining for years that in spite of their firm belief against eating meat, they still desire the taste of meat once in a while. Now they can have their cake and eat it too.”
Although it’s taken 12 years to develop the trees, the idea is simple. “We take the genes from cattle and put them into the cells (细胞) of grape-fruit trees,” Dr. Vincent says. “When the seeds grow into trees, they produce meat instead of ordinary fruit. You get the taste — even the smell.”
Those who’ve tried the meat agree it tastes like the real thing. “I was a bit unwilling to believe at first when I sank my teeth into a hamburger after they told me it grew on a tree,” says Londoner Mark, who took part in a taste-test. “But it was juicy and delicious ─ nothing leafy about it at all.”
Meat Tree products could be on the market in Great Britain by the end of the year and on dinner plates in the U.S. by 2020. Some vegetarians insist they should never eat meat — even if it grew on a tree. Others love the idea. “My mouth is watering already,” says a devoted vegetarian of 20 years.

A.vegetarians like to make a cake and enjoy it later

B.prove the real taste of fruit from Meat Trees
