• 2．You might think of martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down the river，all standing on a bamboo strip，but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage：bamboo drifting.
     Over 2，000 years ago，the high-quality wood，nanmu，in Guizhou was in great demand by the royal court more than 2，000 kilometers to the north.With no better transportation，people had to stand on one log to drift down the river.Later，local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born.In the Qing Dynasty，wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo's lower price.Due to the skills it takes for one to master this act，bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list this year.
     Yang Liu，a 24-year-old inheritor of bamboo drifting，learned it at 7. "Usually，the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long，and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters.If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough，it will not float.Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key，so we should fight against the current by constantly changing the angle.I lost my balance and fell in the water many times while practicing.Once I fell，I gave it another try until I knew how to handle the most difficult part." she said.
     The love for the ancient skill keeps Yang gojye.aig.In the past 17 years，she has drifted all year round，in winter cold and summer heat.As hanfu culture has been on the rise，Yang started wearing hanfu while performing，creating a more beautiful feel.In 2020，Yang began to post her videos on social media. "I'm extremely proud to get responses from viewers that bamboo drifting makes the line between what is possible and impossible unclear.It's my mission to keep it alive and known to more people，" Yang Liu told China Daily.

• 3．Jobs that use both technical and creative thinking are among the fastest-growing and highest-paying ones，according to a new report from Burning Glass Technologies，a job market analytics （分析） company in Boston.
     It studied millions of job postings to better understand the skills companies require.What they discovered was that many want workers with experience in such new abilities as big-data （数据） gathering and analytics，or design using digital technology.
     Burning Glass came up with the term "hybrid jobs" to describe these kinds of positions，which require skills not normally found together.For example，these hybrid jobs might require people with skills in data science and advertising，or engineering and sales." The jobs of the future don't involve just one skill，" says Matt Sigelman，chief manager of Burning Glass.
     The company expects general job growth of about 10% between 2018 and 2028，but the hybrid jobs by 21%.What's more，hybrid jobs pay more than positions that call for a traditional set of skills.For example，a marketing manager mastering a database program gets paid 41%more than a traditional one，with an average yearly salary of S100，000.Moreover，an engineer who improves her sales skills and becomes a consulting engineer for a software company can more than double her pay from ﹩180，000 to ﹩400，000.
     While data shows that workers who fail to update their skills will be able to find fewer jobs，people in hybrid jobs are less likely to become out of date，with only 12% possibility of being replaced by machine，compared with 42%for general jobs，says Burning Glass.Hybrid jobs are mostly not beginner roles，so they mainly go to workers with years of experience and，most importantly，more training after leaving college.That means workers，bosses and educators will have to think about how to better prepare people for these roles.
  
  （1）Why did the company research into job advertisements？

  
  A．To understand the growth of best paid workers.
  B．To compare workers' experience with new abilities.
  C．To find out companies' requirements about skills.
  D．To tell the possible changes in future job market.
  （2）Which of the following jobs can be hybrid？

  
  A．Data engineer.
  B．Machine operator.
  C．Marketing manager.
  D．Medical consultant.
  （3）How much is a traditional marketing manager possibly paid every year？

  
  A．﹩180，000.
  B．﹩71，000.
  C．﹩41，000.
  D．﹩10，000.
  （4）Which of the following is the best title for this passage？

  
  A．How to Get Trained for Jobs.
  B．The Skills for"Hybrid"Jobs.
  C．Future Jobs Requiring"Hybrid"Skills.
  D．Tips on Finding Fastest-Growing Jobs.

• 9．When Susan told her 12-years-old son Andy their family were visiting New Delhi，a dreamlike place for teenagers，his little face was shining with indescribably wild joy.He had long expected to explore the imaginative kingdom，especially the Stone Forest，two miles east of the town，where lay various stones in different colors and sizes.
      The two-day trip was very tight --- first met their old friends，the Millers and then met Andy's expectation.When they reached their house it was already 3 p.m.Miller and his wife were happy to meet them after a long time.They sat in the drawing room and chatted about old times.Their son soon bored with adult conversation，went out to play with the host's children --- Eric and Daisy --- both of whom were around Andy's age.
      But Andy's appetite seemed never to be satisfied.As his name Andy conveyed，he was courageous and adventurous.Andy was impatient to inspect the route to the Stone Forest ahead so as to be a tour guide for his parents the next day!He forgot the grand dinner the Millers prepared the evening.
      Dinner time Eric and Daisy came running back，both excited about the special dinner，but Andy wasn't with them.Alarmed，Miller asked them about Andy，but between our panicked questions and keyed-up voices they became nervous，unable to convey anything.From the little they were able to explain，they guessed that the children were riding their bikes in the neighbourhood lanes（小巷），while Andy ran after them.At some point，Andy must have fallen behind，unable to keep pace ，taken a wrong turn and lost his way.
      Panic-stricken，they all ran out in search of Andy.At the same time，Susan's mind raced with all sorts of horrible situations --- a part of the road was dug up for some construction work；what if Andy had fallen in it？How far had he wandered？How alone and scared he must be in a strange town!
  注意：
  1.续写词数应为 150 左右；
