云南省楚雄彝族自治州楚雄市2024年中考二模英语试题
Xing Bin is a 47-year-old teacher in Linyi University in Shandong province. He has worked there for 19 years. At the end of 2022, he experienced the work of a delivery rider (外卖骑手). More than half a year later, he shared his understanding and thoughts online, which quickly caused heated discussions.
Xing Bin was so interested in the life and work of a delivery rider that he decided to be one from December 22nd to January 20th. During the month, Xing worked more than 10 hours and took 30,000 steps a day. He lost 6 kilograms and made a total of 7,000 yuan. On average, he made 10 yuan each hour, and 20 yuan at most.
"During that month, I tasted the bitterness (苦难) and the happiness of this job with my heart," Xing said. "I delivered over 2,000 orders, and three deliveries impressed (使印象深刻) me a lot. One took place late at night when I delivered food to a village where there were no streetlights. The couple who ordered the food were afraid that I would get lost in the middle of the night. So they used a flashlight to walk me out of the small village to the main road."
Xing now understands the difficulties of delivery workers better and realizes how hard they work to make a living. "I also hope that more people can understand delivery workers and show more respect towards them," he said. "I will continue to try different jobs every year in the future."
a. Xing Bin shared his experience online.
b. A couple in a village gave Xing Bin some help.
c. Xing Bin chose the job as a teacher.
d. Xing Bin decided to work as a delivery rider.

Why is it called breaking?
Breaking started in the 1970s, in New York City, US. At parties, dancers got up to perform during musical " breaks", which gave breaking its name. Breaking is now an important part of hip- hop culture around the world. | How to breakdance? Breaking has four kinds of moves. A " top rock" is when a breaker dances| while standing up. A" down rock" is when a breaker dances on the floor, moving their arms and kicking their| legs. A " freeze" is when a dancer stops in the middle in a cool position, like standing on their head or| balancing with one hand. " Power moves" are really fast spins and twists that look like the dancer is flying or| spinning like a top. | ▲ Anyone can be a B- girl or a B- boy, which is what breakers call themselves. Victor Montalvo is a B- boy from the US. " Breaking is amazing. It doesn't matter what color you are, who you are, where you're from: it welcomes all kinds of people," he says. " It's all about peace, love, unity, and having fun." | |||
