Seni Felic has already lived through a crisis (危机). He came to America in 1994, escaping from the war in the

Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He was 29 years old at the time and alone.

These days, he owns a restaurant in San Francisco called Bistro SF Grill, and he is feeling optimistic (乐观的)

despite the crisis. “We’re going to pull together, and it will have a strong effect on solving any problem,” he told

Reader’s Digest.

With that attitude in mind, he posted this on Next door: “We are inviting all to stop by Bistro SF Grill at 1305

Castro St. to buy a lunch or dinner box beginning Tuesday, March 17, beginning at noon and every day after. Price

is only $5.50 and it covers our expenses,” he wrote.

Bistro SF Grill will be offering three different meals: chicken, rice and vegetables; fish, rice and vegetables;

and pork, rice and vegetables. All are healthy. The menu will change weekly.

“A lot of seniors, families, and people who don’t know how to cook are in need of fresh, high-quality food

daily,” Felic said. “I’ve seen much worse than this—groups of people with guns, and people killed. I was hungry

for three years. Under these conditions, food is necessary. Our idea was: Let’s try to help. We’d like to give for free,

but we can’t afford it.”

The restaurant started a GoFundMe page to further lower the cost of the meals. So far, neighbors have pitched

in almost $2,000.

He believes that working together and helping others will be the key to helping us—all of us—get through

this. “The spread of COVID-19 will be controlled, and I just feel optimistic,” he added. “When people come

together, I think we can get through any hard time.”

24. Why did Seni Felic post a message on Next door?

C. To make more money. D. To sell his restaurant.

C. He will always offer three different meals.

D. He was almost killed by people with guns.

27. What does Seni Felic think is the most helpful to get through the hard time?

Every year, many people in South America celebrate Carnival. It is a time of music and dancing. The party

ends before the Christian celebration of Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday has a very different felling than Carnival.

It is meant to be a day of prayer, sadness and asking for forgiveness (宽恕). There are also some other idioms (习

语) about the word “ash”—the gray or black matter left after a fire.

In American English, guilt (内疚) or sadness is often expressed by ashes. For example, if you are feeling really

bad about something you did, you might say you are wearing “sack-cloth and ashes”.

The word “sackcloth” refers to a kind of clothing that feels rough on the skin. It was sometimes made of goat

hair. Wearing something made of sackcloth was a sign that a person was trying to punish himself. Let’s say you

forgot that you invited your dear friend to a special birthday date. Your beloved waited for you, for hours, crying, in

the rain. Much later, you sit up in bed and remember your missed date. You call your partner at once and say that

you are so sorry. You promise to wear “sackcloth and ashes” for the rest of the month.

Of course, you do not really have to put on a shirt made of animal hair. But you could show you are sorry in a

different way. Maybe you cook your partner dinner every night for a week, or buy a meaningful gift.

Saying something nice when you are angry can be difficult. The sweet words might “turn to ashes” in your

mouth. In fact, as an expression, anything can “turn to ashes”. A hopeful feeling, a relationship—maybe even your

job if your co-worker keeps complaining about you—all can dry up and disappear.

Fortunately, most things can also “rise from the ashes”. In other words, what was thought to be dead or

destroyed can return to life, often in a new and better way.

28. How do people in south America feel during Ash Wednesday?

A. Happy. B. Thankful. C. Heavy-hearted. D. Excited.

29. What do you want to do if you promise to wear “sackcloth and ashes”?

A. Keep your words. B. Makeup for your mistake.

C. Thank someone for his help. D. Punish someone for his faults.

30. Which of the following has a positive meaning in the text?

A. Turn to ashes. B. Rise from the ashes.

C. Spend Ash Wednesday. D. Wear sackcloth and ashes.

31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To introduce some idioms.

B. To compare two famous festivals.

C. To encourage people to learn English.

D. To recommend a learning program.

Red pandas are native to the high forests of Asia. They are only a little bigger than a house cat and considered

to be endangered. Scientists reported last month that not all red pandas belong to the same species (物种). There are

two different species of this animal, not just one, a study found.

The scientists reported finding major differences in three genetic markers (基因标记) between Chinese red

pandas and Himalayan red pandas. Scientists identified the markers after studying DNA from 65 of the creatures.

DNA carries genetic information for the development, growth and reproduction of living things.

Recording the existence of two separate species could help guide efforts for protecting red pandas, scientists

added. “Chinese red pandas live in northern Myanmar, as well as southeastern Tibet, Sichuan, and Yunnan

provinces in China. Himalayan red pandas are native to Nepal, India, Bhutan and southern Tibet in China,” the

researchers said.

Researchers Yibo Hu and Fuwen Wei led the study. Their findings appeared in the magazine Science
