Tiny Countries You Never Knew Existed
Sao Tome and Principe
Sao Tome and Principe off Africa’s west coast is only 372 square miles, but it has impressive, undamaged nature, rich in biodiverse species. The amazing needle-like volcanic peak Pico Cao Grande rises 1,000 feet into the air. The islands are home to only around 200,000 people today. San Marino

The country’s 109,000 residents live in only 21 of the islands. See this tropical paradise before it is no longer—rising seas are threatening to swallow the country whole. 21.

Once, a lioness and her cub were hunting in the jungle. The baby asked its mother, “Mother, why are we hunting when a deer is already at home?”
The mother said, “My love! We can’t eat that deer because it has surrendered(投降)himself ，seeking our help. He is wounded and helpless. We must help him.”
The baby cub was surprised and questioned again, “Why so? That’s our food, we can eat it.”

“Honey, you are right! It’s our food and we can kill him in any second but do you think he deserves to be killed when he has come to us for protection?”
The baby cub couldn’t understand her mother’s vulnerability(软弱). It kept quiet and paced with its mother. At last, they didn’t get anything and came back to their cave.
The deer, on the other hand, was terrified of his own decision of taking shelter in the cave.
Unfortunately he had no choice! He was attacked by a hunter and somehow managed to escape.
While running for his life, he saw the cave and without a second thought entered it. He had already got a shot from the hunter. When he realized he was in the lion’s cave, he gave up the idea of running back again. The deer gazed at the lioness with a pitiful look, tears rolling down.
He sat there as if he urged for the mercy of the lioness.
The lioness came closer to the deer, smelled it and slowly moved out of the cave with her cub.
When the lions came back, the cub asked its mother to kill the deer again. But the lioness was firm on her decision. She said, “Sweetheart! We can manage one night without any food.
Tomorrow, I would definitely fetch out some food for you.” The cub said nothing, grunted(嘟哝)a little.
When the cub slept, the lioness whispered to the deer, “Run, away from this area because I doubt if I could save you any longer if the next time situation demands!”
The deer looked at the lioness with gratitude and slowly walked away from the cave. 24. What contributes to the deer’s survival?
A. The hunter’s mercy. B. The lioness’s sympathy. C. The cub’s understanding. D. The lioness’s vulnerability. 25. What do we know about the deer?
A. He trusted the lioness. B. He regretted surrendering. C. He went to the cave by accident. D. He tried to fight the lioness. 26. What does the underlined sentence imply?
A. The deer might be killed. B. The hunter would spot the deer again. C. The lioness could cure the deer. D. The cub might drive the deer out. 27. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Art of Parenting B. A Deer Hunt C. Moment of Kindness D. A Narrow Escape
C
Breakdancing is set to make its debut(首次亮相)as an Olympic sport at Paris 2024, Tony Estanguet, head of the Paris organizing committee, said on February 21st. Skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing, which have already been added to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, have been invited to return in Paris.
Estanguet said the choices responded to a need to make the Olympics “more urban” and “more artistic”. “We have chosen to present the International Olympic Committee(IOC) with the four sports because they are creative, appealing to youth and completely in line with our vision. They reflect perfectly Paris 2024’s identity.”
Breakdancing is an example of a sport “which can be played anywhere and anytime in urban and other environments.” It appeared at the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires in the form of head-to-head “battles”. In
competitive breakdancing, “breakers” face off in “battles” against each other, either as individuals or teams. Breakdancers use a mix of physical and artistic skills combining elements from gymnastics or acrobatics(杂技).
The IOC had announced that the number of competitors at Paris 2024 would be restricted to 10,500, which limited the opportunity to add sports. But the organizers said the inclusion would not necessitate the construction of permanent facilities and would involve just 248 competitors, including 32 breakdancers. The surfing events are likely to be held in established surf centers such as Biarritz or Lacanau in southwest France.
The inclusion still needs to be rubberstamped by the IOC, which is expected to decide on which sports to add in Paris after next year’s Tokyo Games.
