15．　　Like millions of people around the world, Mark Dumas loves nothing more than to take a morning swim. But for him there is something different, as Mark swims with a polar bear.
　　Mark and his wife had the polar bear Agee when she was six weeks old. The couple and Agee have a close friendship over years.
　　It all started when animal trainer Mark was asked to find a polar bear to be in a movie. It was then that he heard about a female cub(幼崽) who was in a very difficult situation at a Swedish zoo. The baby polar bear named Agee was the eleventh cub born to the polar bear mother, and it was clear to Mark that with so many babies in the family. Agee needed a new home.
　　Mark has trained many animals for many films as part of his job, but he never expected to fall in love with this baby girl! As soon as he kept his eyes on Agee in the zoo, Mark knew that this little bear needed him. That's why he made the decision to raise Agee on his own.
　　Mark raised Agee for 26 years, and he could not be happier that he did it. Mark trains her to do all kinds of skills to star in the films.
　　Now Agee is not only friendly but also close to Mark. She loves giving him bear hugs (拥抱) and accepting loving kisses but loves swimming with him most. "If other people tried this, they would end up as Agee's dinner," Mark says. "The only people in the whole world she likes are me and my wife. I have worked with bears in this way for over 40 years, so I can read Agee's body language and know how to act safely around her. But Agee is the boss and it's her rules that count."

16．　　Every year, millions of people go back to their hometowns for family reunions (团聚) during the Spring Festival. To control the spread (传播) of COVID-19 during the holidays, China made a plan to avoid gatherings (避免聚集) and unnecessary journeys, by calling on people to stay put (留在原地).
　　This year's "stay put" advice is different in areas with different risk levels. It gives people rights to choose if they go home for family reunion. Also, those who chose to stay put could get shopping vouchers (购物券), free movie tickets and tickets for places of interest.
　　So many people decided to stay put in the cities where they work to celebrate the long holiday. Qin Hanying is one of them. He works in the southern Guangdong province, while his hometown is in neighboring Guangxi. Qin said it was the first time that he had spent the lunar New Year away from home and it was a special experience.
　　Qin was not alone. According to his plan, Li Yangsong should have returned to his hometown in Shanxi province and spent the Spring Festival with his family. But this year, he chose to spend the holiday in Beijing with his workmates. He said: "I think it was the most meaningful holiday."
　　However, some people wanted to go home for the holiday anyway. Wei Biying, working in Jiangmen, Guangdong, said "My parents are both reaching their 80s. They are getting old, and I think they would be lonely if they spent the holiday alone."
　　Wherever we celebrated the Spring Festival, COVID-19 can't stop our love for our family.

23．
　　Recently, Chinese high school principal Zhang Guimei has been honored with the title "Role Model of the Times" (时代楷模称号). With the help of the Party and the government, she helped to set up the country's first senior high school (1)             free education to girls from poor families. Since 2008, it has sent more than 1800 students to universities.
　　Zhang has changed the lives of these girls by helping them to get education and stopping them from (2)             on poverty (贫穷) to the next generation (下一代).
　　About 20 years ago, while Zhang (3)             in the mountain to visit a student's house, she noticed a girl sitting on the hill. She seemed to be helpless and was looking at the sky (4)            . The girl told Zhang she would get married very soon. It was arranged (安排) by her parents. "But I want to go to school," she said. Zhang went to her house and talked with her parents in order to ask them (5)             the girl to return to school and promised to pay for her cost herself. However, they didn't agree at last.
　　"We always say, each child should stand on the same starting line, but these girls didn't even have a chance to get on the track." Zhang says.
　　Zhang was greatly (6)             by the girl's story and she knew there must be many other girls who were like this in the poor countryside. Zhang made up her mind to do something to help these girls. After (7)             hard work, in 2008, Huaping High School for Girls, a free public high school was set up at the foot of the Shizi Mountian in Huaping, where Zhang is the principal.
　　Over these years, Zhang walked thousands of kilometers, visiting students' families, talking to (8)            , persuading (说服) girls to go back to school. She gave away all her money to the rural education and poor people. More and more girls' lives were changed because of her. Her (9)             stories encouraged thousands of people in China.
　　Zhang Guimei thinks that a girl can influence (影响) three generations. "An/A (10)             and responsible mother will stop her children from dropping out of school." She says.

24．　　Taking your dog for a walk can be fun to do. (1)       According to the World Health Organization, over 10 million people in China are bitten (被咬) by dogs every year.
　　People in Beijing and Shanghai are already asked to keep their dogs on a rope. (2)       It is listed in the newly amended Animal Quarantine Law (动物防疫法). The law will come into effect on May 1.
　　The law focuses on the prevention of rabies (狂犬病). The rabies virus is mainly carried by dogs. The law makes it clear that anyone who keeps dogs must vaccinate (接种疫苗) them. (3)       Those who don't follow the law will face a fine (罚款).
　　(4)       This meant that if someone was bitten by a dog, they would have to go to a hospital and get treated and vaccinated at once.
　　Gao Fu, head of China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said it makes more sense to vaccinate dogs than humans.
　　Many other diseases can also spread between animals and humans. (5)       And 75 percent of all new infections human diseases come from animals, China Daily reported.
　　Are you ready for the laws, our dog owners?

25．　　What does taking the train mean to you? Perhaps it's just a way of getting to your destination (目的地). In fact, the train itself can be part of the fun.
　　On March 28, China's first panda-themed tourist train left Chengdu in Sichuan for Zunyi in Guizhou. It soon became the talk of China.
　　Its inside and outside are decorated with giant panda pictures, which make it cute and special. Attendants (乘务员) carry panda toys and passengers can try panda-shaped food, as well as Sichuan snacks. You can easily buy or eat them whenever you want. Some people call it a "mobile star hotel" because it has a bar, karaoke room, dance hall, and mahjong (麻将) room. Passengers can take showers and use its 5G network as well.
　　The service is one aspect that has attracted (吸引) travelers. But the train travel attracts people for other reasons.
　　In the fast-paced times we live in, it gives you time and space to read, sleep, chat with friends, or simply do nothing but watch the changing scenery (风景) outside. It seems that everything goes slowly on the train.
　　Sheng Yawei, 26, once took the longest railway in the world — the Trans-Siberian Railway. Running from Moscow to Vladivostok, it takes six days. "Since the route covers eight time zones (时区) , I saw my watch go back suddenly. It was just like I came back to the old times." Sheng said. "The rivers, forests, mountains, and countryside along the way made me feel peaceful."
　　During the train travel, you might meet new people. Sheng met a Russian college student and they became friends. "I also met a cute boy who gave me melon seeds to eat. Though we didn't understand each other's language, it made me feel nice. The trip is interesting because you'll never know who you'll meet and what will happen along the way."
　　At the end of 2020, China's rail mileage (铁路里程) reached 146, 300 km. Its high-speed railway mileage was 37,900 km, ranking first in the world. Why not plan a train trip now?
