Sometimes she knitted(编织） hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasnt surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project.“I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you dont even know these people.” “It doesnt matter,” she said. “Whats important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldnt understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didnt even stop to catch breath,” I said.My attitude didnt decrease my mothers enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. For a while, I listened as she asked the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother grasped one of my hands and gave it a slight squeeze. “Im the only person she talked to today.”It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the significance of that statement. Now , as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes Im the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she recounts a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mothers calls were lifelines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.24The writer wasnt surprised about her mothers decision because her mother _.A. was a very creative person B. always devoted herself to helping othersC. had nothing to do in the evening D.

But the craft of weaving(纺织工艺) the fabric became obsolete in the 1970s and for decades only existed in memory.Until 2020, when Pasang, a Tibetan living where the cloth originated in Tsethang, Nedong County, was talking with one of the towns elders whileteaching a traditionalpaintingclass.He told how, Pasang became fascinated by the traditional craft, spending two years searching for weavers capable of creating the special cashmere fabric(羊绒织物).Most weavers were dead. The few survivors had not weaved for more than 20 years. Pasang managed to put together five weavers in their 80s, who gathered to rebuild the tools and retrace the 18 procedures of the complex weaving with their memory.The fabric was invented in the 1350s at the Tsethang Temple, when monks modified the weaving techniques of the more common traditional Tibet Pulu fabrics. It is much thinner, finer and smoother, but the weaving is extremely complex and time-consuming.It takes 40 days to weave the fabric for one outfit, Pasang said. The fabric uses the best wool from the back and neck of Tibetan sheep or goat. Fine weaving plus quality raw material makes the fabric tender, smooth, durable and static free(无静电干扰), he added.When he spent all his savings in building a workshop for weaving the Tsethang serge, his only goal was to preserve the tradition. But the fabric turned out to be as marvelous as the elders remembered. Its fame soon spread by word of mouth.28. Most probably, “obsolete” in the second paragraph means_.A. superb B. old-fashioned C. expensive D. obvious29. Who first had the idea of preserving Tsethang serge?A. Some old Tibetans B.

He gathered some old weavers together and retraced the procedures of the weaving.B. He found some old women weavers to tell the weaving procedure from their memory.C. Some old weavers helped him to find the serge they weaved when young.D. Pasang bought the serge the old weavers made.31. What is the main idea of the second paragraph from the bottom?A. The development and the history of the serge. B. The reason why the fabric is valuableC. It takes long to weave the fabric for one outfit D. The fabric uses quality raw material.DThe hated mobile phone roaming（漫游）charges that greatly affect tourists trips around Europe are set to be ended, but youll have to wait until 2020 for it to happen.The agreement announced on June 30 will end the frustration（懊恼）of European Union citizens on holiday or abroad for business who face too many charges for using their phones for calls and Internet browsing when in the EU but outside their home country.“Coming into force on June 15, 2020, the deal means you can use your mobile phone when traveling in the EU and pay the same prices as at home,” the European Commission said in a statement. “If you pay for a monthly volume（月套餐）of minutes, SMS and data in your country, any voice call , SMS and data session you make while traveling abroad in the EU will be removed from that as if you were at home, with no extra charges,” it added.The deal was reached following discussions dating from 2020, but still needs formal approval by the European Parliament and 28 governments.“This is the end of a long process and were delighted we manage to produce a result that will mean specific improvement for citizens in the single market,” European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas said.Commenting on the agreement, Gautam Srivastava, a mobile phone expert at MoneySuperMarket said, “The end of roaming charges in the EU is a great win for customers both in the UK and in Europe.”“From June 2020 on, youll be able to use your mobile phone in the EU - so no more worrying about data limits or making and receiving calls when youre on your holidays,” added Gautam Srivastava.32.The text is most probably _.A. a travel guide B. a newspaper ad C. a news report D. a cultural research33.
