B

 One of my grandchildren sent me a self-portrait (自画像) she created in an art class. The first half of the portrait shows her hair parted in the middle, with her big brown eyes looking through her glasses. The second half of the self-portrait is a blue mask (口罩) with colorful flowers. It is a clever art work using the mask as a cover. The mask can be taken off, but I received her picture with the mask on.

 The child needs to work on her smize. A fashion model created the term “smize” several years ago. A “smize” is a word from smile and eyes, which means that you smile with your eyes. For example, models can make their eyes smile without moving their mouths.

 Smizing is popular now. It’s hard to show friendliness when half of your face is covered. Restaurants are even teaching waiters to perfect the smize behind face masks. You can smize by scrunching (使收缩) up your eyes and pushing your eyes up to create a smiling look. It’s hard to do, but you can learn how to do it by keeping doing it again and again in front of a mirror. Like most people, I can wear my mask and smile at the same time, but my eyes can’t smile without my mouth. They have a very close bond.

 We would rather get close to each other by smile and kindness than the cold face behind the mask. Go ahead, smize or smile, whatever you can do.

 C. it’s difficult to learn to smize  D. models can smile only with their eyes

63. The underlined word “bond” is closest in meaning to __________.

 A. look  B. relation  C. knock  D. friend

64. What can we infer from the passage?

 A. Masks can’t completely hide our friendliness  B. If you can push your eyes up, you can smize.

  C. All the waiters in restaurants can smize.  D. The writer learns to smize by keeping do it.

65. What would be the best title of the passage?

 A. With or Without Masks  B. Spread Friendliness Behind the Mask

 C. Get Close To Others   D. A Self-Portrait with A Mask On

C

 A man in black clothes jumps high into the air. Before he lands, he makes a pose. Sometimes, he carries a red fan. With long white sleeves (袖子), he spreads his arms like wings (翅膀). His dance is often drawing crowds.

While dancing, he likes to interact (互动) with them. As his videos went popular, he received messages from people around the world.
