In real life, he is called "the father of Indian women wrestling" because thousands of girls across India have been supported to take up wrestling with his efforts.A very famous Indian actor—Aamir Khan (阿米尔汗), played the role of Mahavir in the movie. It was an unusual experience for him. Aamir Khan was very serious about his character and he tried to make this character close to the true story. In order to act well, he needed to put on weight to be very fat and then did sports to be very strong in a short time.Aanir Khan started to eat a lot every day before making the movie. He ate at least 5 meals a day including much junk food. He became too fat to run quickly.It is simple to be fat but difficult to be strong. Aamir Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and it took him a few months to be strong. He must eat less food and drink more water. Strength training is also important. This kind of physical training is very boring. He had to lift different weights and did over and over again. Aamir Khan set a goal to himself day by dayand the minute he made it, he fell down on the ground and could hardly stand up. In the end, he became the exact person the movie needed.The role he played was very moving and he succeeded at last.

It was first found in the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, where a variety of wild animals were on sale. People who sold and bought animals illegally w ere the first to be infected.Scientists have found that the virus likely came from bats and was then spread to humans from pangolins (穿山甲). According to Live Science, bats ca n carry and spread more than 60 viruses that can infect humans. They include the world’s deadliest viruses, such as Ebola and SARS. But bats have special i mmune systems that allow them to live with viruses without getting sick. Other wild animals like snakes and hedgehogs (刺猬) are also hosts of many virus es.There have been calls for people to stop eating wild animals. However, the danger is not just in eating them, but also in touching them. People can get i nfected if they come into contact with the body fluids (体液) of wild animals. People who hunt, kill, sell or eat these animals run the risk of becoming infect ed.Keeping wild animals as pets or selling parts of their bodies as animal products also create risks for humans. It is highly possible to come into contact with the body fluids of wild animals in this way.“Trade and consumption of wild animals of all kinds should be banned,” Zeng Guang, chief epidemiologist (流行病学家) at the Chinese Center for Dis ease Control and Prevention, told China Daily. “Otherwise people will suffer.”【小题1】According to scientists, humans might get infected with COVID-19 from________.A．Pangolins B．snakes C．hedgehogs D．bamboo rats【小题2】According to the story, what lesson should humans learn?A．Research more about wild animals.B．Exercise regularly to stay healthy.C．Stop keeping animals as pets.D．Don’t buy or eat wild animals.23.

Therefore, she told her parents “No!” and refused to learn to read.Jane scooped (捧起) up her long skirts and splashed (溅起水花) through a small stream. Running helped her collect her thoughts, so she ran for what s eemed like hours. She dashed around a tree and wasn’t paying attention. As a result, she tripped (绊倒) over a pair of long legs stretched out in the grass.The legs belonged to her neighbor, Abe Lincoln. Abe was leaning (斜靠) against a tree reading a book. He smiled, stood up, and extended his arm to he lp Jane up.Jane recognized Abe and knew what a hard-worker he was. But she also heard he was not like the other sixteen-year-old boys in Perry County. Abe wa s different because he spent all of his spare time reading books.“Why are you running so fast?” Abe asked. “Are you hurt?”Jane frowned (皱眉). “No, I’m all right,” she said. “I’m running because I’m upset. My parents want me to learn to read, and I told them no!”Abe looked down at his book and then at Jane. “Reading can change your life,” he said quietly. Meet me here tomorrow, and I’ll prove to you how imp ortant reading is.”Jane met Abe the next afternoon. He showed her a book about George Washington. One of his favourite teachers had donated it to him, and he had read it many times.Abe began to read aloud while Jane listened carefully. He read about Washington and what a great leader he was. He read about Washington’s courage and bravery.“Someday I want to be as courageous as George Washington,” said Abe proudly. “Someday I will be president of the United States, too.”“I believe you will make a great president,” said Jane. “Look at what a good leader you are now. You’ve completely changed my mind about reading!”Years later, Jane opened her newspaper and read the good news. Her friend, Abe Lincoln, had an elected President of the United States. She smiled and thought about the day she tripped over long legs. That was the day that changed her life.【小题1】Instead of going to school, Jane preferred to _______.A．teach herself by reading books B．run through the Indiana woodsC．give a helping hand to her family D．play with her neighbor Abe Lincoln【小题2】Jane changed her mind about reading, because ______.A．Abe shared the book and thoughts B．Abe’s teacher donated a bookC．Jane’s parents forced her to study D．Jane tripped over Abe’s long legs【小题3】From the passage, we can see Abe is _______.A．strict and quiet B．generous and creativeC．confident and humorous D．helpful and hard-working【小题4】The passage is probably from ______.A．a novel B．a guide C．a poem D．an advertisement24.
