As the first African American to play in the Major League in modern times, many believe he changed the country forever.Robison was born in 1919. He lived in a time when rules controlled what African Americans could do. He was a top athlete, playing football, basketball, and baseball. But playing for a Major League team was off limits to Robinson because of his race.Branch Rickey, president and manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, signed Robinson in 1947. He believed that Robinson not only had the skills, but the courage to face the challenge of becoming modern baseballs first black player.It wasnt easy. Robinson sometimes faced boos(嘘声) from fans.

In 2020, he was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal, the highest award Congress can give to an American.By breaking baseballs colour barrier（肤色障碍）, Robinson opened the door for many to follow in his footsteps, not only in baseball, but in other areas of life as well.

Microcosm: E. coli and the New Science of LifeCSince the 800s, November 1st is a holiday known as All Saints Day. The evening before is known as All Halloween or Halloween. During the festival, poor people would beg for food and families would give them “soul cakes in return for their promise to pray for the familys dead relatives.Halloween, however, has a special meaning for children today, who dress in funny or ghostly clothes and knock at neighborhood doors shouting “Trick or Treat!” Princesses, ghosts and witches all hold bags open to catch the candies or cakes that the neighbors drop in.Today school dances and neighborhood parties called “block parties” are popular among young and old. They dress up as historical or political figures and go to costume parties. Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better!Certain tricks such as soaping car windows and knocking at the neighbors windows are expected. But parties and tricks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing. Some collect money to buy food and medicine for poor children around the world.Halloween began as a celebration connected with bad spirits. Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions take place at night. Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween. Carving pumpkins into Jack-o-lanterns is a Halloween custom originating in Ireland. When the Irish brought their customs to the United States, they carved faces on pumpkins instead of turnips(蔓菁) because in the autumn pumpkins were more plentiful than turnips. Today Jack-o-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are candies waiting if they knock and say “Trick or Treat!”63.According to the passage, which of the following statements about Halloween is TRUE?A. People celebrate Halloween to honor the ancestors.B. Only children can enjoy themselves on Halloween.C. People use beautiful flowers to decorate their houses during the holiday.D. Over the years, there have been some changes in Halloween traditions.64.The “Princesses, ghosts and witches” in Paragraph 2 refers to_.A. people existing in the imagination of childrenB. the grown-ups dressing up to please childrenC. the children dressing up on this special holidayD. the actors or actresses invited to celebrate the holiday65.Children celebrate Halloween in the following ways EXCEPT _.A. playing some little tricks on their neighborsB. dressing up and attending costume partiesC. doing destructive things which are usually not allowedD. doing some good deeds to help those in trouble.66.What is the meaning of the underlined word “outrageous” in the third paragraph?A. Attractive B. Unusual C. Funny D. ExpensiveDBoth art and architecture have a history of ages. All forms and ways of expressing beauty have been explored. In the case of architecture, many buildings that were designed in the past have proven to be beautiful and served their purposes. We could save millions of dollars by copying designs of architecture of buildings from the past. Besides, some people find modern architecture ugly. So why should we pay a lot for designing new buildings? The same goes for modern art, both paintings and statues. Many art objects created in the past are now covered by dust in storerooms. They are enough to decorate all public places. There is no need to create more art, and as with modern architecture, many people find new art difficult to understand or appreciate. Considering these facts, why are architects and artists asked to create new art works? And why are we interested in creating new ones, instead of using or copying what was made in the past? The answers to these questions have to do with the function of art in society today.First of all, the function of art is to decorate. By placing art works in parks and hanging paintings or drawings on the walls, we make our living environment more beautiful. When our eyes move across an empty wall, they will for a few moments rest on a painting or drawing hung there. It makes us feel good. Sometimes, Paintings are not
