Famous Irish poet Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) once wrote: ―Ah! Realize your youth while you have it.‖ He pointed out the important truth about how precious youth is in one’s 36 through life. However, the popular internet word foxi—or ―Buddhist‖—is 37 this rule by encouraging young people to remain calm and peaceful and 38 arguments as much as possible—in other words, to live like a Buddha.
The phrase was reportedly created in Japan in 2014 to describe young men who no longer want to start 39 with women or follow someone else’s life path. They prefer to stay in their own 40 world without being disturbed and care little about failure and success.
Now, Chinese internet users are 41 the phrase with other words to describe a similar thought. For example, ―Buddhist students‖ are those who study just the right amount—they don’t 42 class, but they don’t burn the midnight oil, either. There are also ―Buddhist parents‖, who involve little with their children’s lives and let them develop however they like—the 43 of ―tiger parents‖.
In this fast-changing and competitive world, it’s only 44 that people are going after a spiritual freedom. However, some would compare foxi with ―denominational culture（丧文化）‖ –a phrase that describes young people who feel 45 and powerless. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality that young people are losing their 46 to fight. They are 47 to keep a healthy and wise attitude toward failure simply because they have no ability to achieve success.
But no matter 48 , there is one thing that ―Buddhist youngsters‖ should keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm attitude towards failure, but you should also be 49 about school, work and life.
50 , Wilde also wrote: ―Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new feelings. Be afraid of nothing.‖ 36. A. journey
B. trip
C. travel C. making
D. tour D. explaining
37. A. supporting B. challenging
38. A. face
B. avoid
C. solve C. studies C. peaceful
D. cause D. relationships D. silent D. inventing D. skip D. viewpoint D. embarrassing D. aimless D. opportunity D. pretending D. which D. negative D. At all
39. A. sorrow 40. A. gray
B. happiness B. terrible
41. A. pairing 42. A. take
B. understanding B. enjoy
C. describing C. attend C. opposite
43. A. similarity 44. A. natural 45. A. hopeful 46. A. ability 47. A. learning 48. A. what
B. sameness B. strange
C. disappointing C. faultless C. interest C. begging C. why C. positive C. In all
B. courageous B. will
B. struggling B. how B. crazy B. After all

Don’t ask why a zebra has stripes
It seems that there could be several reasons behind the zebra’s stripes （斑纹）but researchers from University of California at Los Angeles US, say they have found a statistically （数据上）occur at once. The actual cause
① A spontaneous （自然的）mutation（突变）occurred in the DNA of an ancient horse, producing stamps.
② Later, zebras’ BNA mutated further, leading to zebra variants. Three species and five subspecies today. Ask instead: What do the stripes do?
Studies have shown several ways the stripes benefit the zebra:
Deception（取消）: Pattern dazzles predators（捕食者）making it difficult to judge distance and find a target of group of zebras.
Camouflage（伪装）: Vertical stripes blend with grass and trees. At a longer distance, they blur into gray.
Insects: Stripes break up polarized light （偷振光）that attracts biting horseflies.
Social: Stripe patterns are different for each individual, which may play a role in mating and herd behavior. 51. The zebra may benefit from their stripes in the following ways EXCEPT that ________. A. they protect the zebra from enemies C. they easily attract biting horseflies

Chinese people are, quite rightly, proud of their food. However, when foreigners like Britons and Americans think of Chinese food, their impression of it is different to what you might think.

For example, a typical dish I would order would be pork in sweet and sour sauce, probably with some rice and spring rolls on the side. This is the type of food we generally eat because most Chinese immigrants（移民）to the UK have come from Guangdong. You can tell, because when most British people try to copy the sound of
