A fully electric seaplane has made its first flight over the mouth of the Fraser River near Vancouver,Canada. The flight represents a milestone in the long process of reducing the aviation industry's emissions and costs by electrifying short-to-medium distance commercial flying.
Several hundred people crowded the river bank on Tuesday morning to witness what they hoped would be a historic moment.They were not disappointed.Among cheers,the battery-powered Harbour Air seaplane lifted off into the sky.The plane flew a short round-trip downriver before landing five minutes later.
“It was magical. It was much quieter than I had expected it to be,” said Nicki Malcom, one witness from Auburn,Washington. “It's definitely the future,” said Chip Jamison, who came from Portland to see the electric plane he produced parts for. “You can see it with automobiles. Planes are next. It's right in front of us.”
The test pilot was the only person on board the six-passenger DHC-2 de Havilland Beaver. He was the CEO and founder of Harbour Air, Greg McDougall. McDougall's seaplane airline teamed up with a Redmond,Washington-based electric motor maker named MagniX to transform the classic de Havilland Beaver plane. MagniX CEO Roei Ganzarski sees the seaplane's first flight as a milestone, similar to the first jet takeoff.
“Today you witnessed the first shot of the electric aviatio n revolution,” Ganzarski told the two companies' staff, contractors, media and other celebrators. “Let's start the revolution.” Ganzarski laid out a case for how battery-powered flight offers lower noise, zero pollution and could reduce fuel and maintenanc e costs. “Lower operating costs for airlines like Harbour Air will mean lower ticket prices for all of you,” he said. “Lower operating costs mean they can now fly to more destinations that we couldn't fly to before.”
It will be some time before regular folks can book a ticket on a clean, electric seaplane.
28. According to the passage, the Harbour Air seaplane .
A. is adapted from the de Havilland Beaver
B. will replace the automobile in the near future
C. can carry more than six passengers
D. has investment from the Vancouver government
29. What is Chip Jamison's attitude towards electric seaplanes?
A. Critical.
B. Objective.
C. Optimistic.
D. Ambiguous.
30. What can we learn from Roei Ganzarski's words?
A. Electric seaplanes only help cut down air pollution and costs.
B. People can fly to more destinations in less time on
battery-powered planes.
C. The seaplane's first flight symbolizes the success of the electric aviation revolution.
D. People may get cheaper tickets by taking electric seaplanes.
31. This passage centers on .
A. a way to cut down air pollution
B. the benefits we get from electric seaplane
C. an all-electric seaplane that completes its first flight
D. the first step in the electric aviation revolution

In the past five years, about 2.8 billion of school textbooks were sold per year, with total spending of 20 billion yuan ($3 billion), news magazine Outlook Weekly reported, citing data released recently by the National Press and Publication Administration.
If these textbooks are reused for one year, the costs saved can be used to help build around 40,000 Hope Schools in impoverished regions.
The figures show that in 2018, the number of retailed textbooks for primary and secondary schools was 2.93 billion copies, totaling 25.99 billion yuan. If all of them are reused, a total of over 20 billion yuan will be saved per year.
Zhao Dehua, in charge of a company recycling resources, said many college graduates sell the textbooks they have accumulated over the years at an average price of 1 yuan per kilogram. As these textbooks are mostly used to produce recycled paper, the cost is even higher than that of raw paper as the processing procedure of recycled paper is complicated.
At present, free textbooks related to music, art and P.E for the nine-year compulsory education have been reused, but account for less than a fraction of the total number of textbooks. Because of the supply chain obstruction, which increases the costs to match supply with demand,
the lack of sound platform and service supporting system for the second-hand textbook trade, most of the textbooks used for compulsory education and higher education end up as waste.
“Every year, second-hand booksellers collect textbooks at a price of about 4,000 yuan a ton, which is more than twice the price of ordinary waste paper, but the number of people who come to collect second-hand books is still few,” Zhao Dehua said.
Besides, the incomplete policies and regulations might bring second-hand book sales platforms and sellers to legal risks.
“Establishing the system of textbook recycling can not only save resources, but also help to cultivate students’ consciousness and sense of responsibility,” said Zhu Pin, deputy head of a school of nine-year compulsory education in Jiangxi province. The school has set up a system for reusing the textbooks and the books are disinfected every week.
32. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. College students sell textbooks in order to make profits.
B. Recycled paper is mainly used for environmental considerations.
C. The cost of recycled paper is greater than that of raw paper.
D. Certain groups of collectors tend to choose second-hand textbooks.
33. What is the problem of reusing textbooks?
A. It is blocked because of lack of funds.
B. The supply of recycled textbooks is not adequate to meet the demand.
C. The regulation of second-hand textbooks has not been carried out yet.
D. A large number of second-hand textbooks are not used properly.
34. What measures does the school take to use the second-hand textbooks?
A. The school frees recycled textbooks from bacteria regularly.
B. The school proposes regulations for wasting second-hand textbooks.
C. The school calls on students to participate in the system of textbook recycling.
D. The school requests the government’s support.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Textbooks recycled for less waste
B. Recycled textbooks used for compulsory education
C. Reusing textbooks good for environment and wallet
D. Reusing textbooks good for collection

The concept of peace is a very important one in cultures all over the world. Think about how we greet people. 36 In some cultures we greet people by shaking hands or with another gesture to show that we are not carrying weapons –that we come in peace. And there are certain symbols that people in very different cultures recognize as representing peace. Let’s look at the origins of a few of them.
The dove
The dove has been a symbol of peace and innocence for thousands of years in many different cultures. In ancient Greek mythology it was a symbol of love and the renewal of life. In ancient Japan a dove carrying a sword symbolized the end of war. 37
The rainbow
The rainbow is another ancient and universal symbol, often representing the connection between human beings and their gods. In Scandinavian mythology the rainbow was a bridge between the gods and the earth. In Chinese tradition, the rainbow is a common symbol for marriage because the colors represent the union of yin and yang. 38 The olive branch
39 In Greek mythology, the goddess Athene gave the olive tree to the people of Athens, who showed their gratitude by naming the city after her. 40 Whatever the history, the olive branch is a part of many modern flags symbolizing peace and unity.
A. People always greet one another in peaceful ways.
B. But it was Pablo Picasso who made it a modern symbol of peace.

"Maybe you're not," I said, looking at my son. To me, he is incredible and accomplished, but I know he is 58 by doubt just like anyone. "But I, for one, don't think that's been decided yet."

a math person to know that.
