Among the natural creatures that can present a threat to people in rural areas of Mexico, one of the most productive is the scorpion(蝎子). These relatives of spiders kill dozens of people each year and injure thousands more. However, scorpions have become a part of the local culture and tradition.

In the Durango city main market, scorpions are in evidence at every turn. There are books, key chains and lamps decorated with dead scorpions. There are scorpion images on T-shirts and hats and there are even candies shaped like scorpions. The whole place seems to be filled with the crawling creature.

In one corner of the market, Chelo Garcia even sells live scorpions. She says she has experienced two scorpion stings(蛰) in the recent years and that nothing happened. She says that if a person has no symptoms of poisoning with 30 minutes of the stinging, it is likely that nothing bad will result. She says some scorpions have little or no poison and so luck plays a big part.

It is hard to explain why people come to Ms. Garcia‘s store to buy live ones, but she does a good business. She often reaches down through the top of the glass cage to catch one of the scorpions to show her customers. She holds them by the tail, where the barbed stinger(刺针) is located, so that she is safe from attack.

In the crowded market, many people pass by Ms. Garcia‘s store to look at the crawling creatures and to relate their own stories of encounters with the scorpions. One old woman says she nearly died when she was a girl of 18 years old and has been afraid of scorpions ever since. She said her tongue became numb and her throat began to swell shut, common symptoms of the scorpion poison. She says she survived because God protected her.

Every year in Mexico about 200,000 people are stung by scorpions. The number of annual deaths was nearly 300, till 2015, but a public health campaign and the widespread availability of anti-poison has cut the number of deaths to less than 100 a year. The state of Durango alone accounts for ten percent of all the scorpion stings in Mexico each year.

While the scorpion may be regarded as disgusting and horrible by many people, it has also become a bit of a local mascot(吉祥物) in Durango. People there seem proud of the fact that their city is known as the ―scorpion capital‖. Scorpions: Part of Local Culture in Mexico

请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

During a period of global economic depression, financial disturbance and trade protectionism, a country would face a battle to solve these issues alone. There is no denying that in the current situation, competition between countries is emphasized more than cooperation in that neither country would like to lose out to the other countries. The Hangzhou G20 summit, in which heads of state and government and central bankers get together to exchange views with each other, aims to create an ―open innovation‖ environment, which means to promote innovation not only within a single country, but by virtue of cooperation with other countries, to deal with common problems facing all of humanity.

―China has already become a big player in the international arena(竞技场). However, China alone cannot wrestle with all the problems,‖ said Atsushi Sunami, vice president at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies. ―Being the second largest economy in the world, China needs to join forces with other nations to solve these existing problems, in relation to the environment, education, energy, clean water and climate change.‖

The Hangzhou G20 summit places much emphasis on global cooperation rather than competition. It seeks to cope with the current issues in various fields, which can’t be resolved by a single country. (32words)

It is apparent that cooperation is a necessity for success in such a competitive society. First and foremost, teamwork can help us achieve shared targets in a more efficient way. Furthermore, cooperation provides people with opportunities, learning to show respect for others. Those who lack such essential skills are certain to be wiped out of the team in modern society. (60words)

The success our Chinese women’s volleyball players achieved in the 2016 Rio Olympics is a striking example of the point. While we weren’t on the winning side at first, we strived as a team to the last minute of the match. Without team spirit, we wouldn’t have won the championship. It is cooperation that really counts in addressing problems we face. (61words) 【听力原文】 Text 1

M: Welcome to Tell Me Your Puzzles. Today we have Professor Carter with us to solve your puzzles.

First, let’s see what puzzles our first guest has.

W: Hello, everybody. I’m a college student. My major is painting, and I also like writing very much.

Lily was my high school friend and now she lives in China. Yesterday she came home for her one-week vacation so we met again for the first time in three years. She told me there are many foreigners living in Beijing, so there are many kinds of Chinese you can hear, such as Japanese-Chinese and English-Chinese. The language they speak is a mixture of many languages but nobody worries about it. Lily studies Chinese but most of her friends are Japanese, and her boyfriend is Japanese, too. They seldom speak Chinese, so she has little opportunity to practice her Chinese. She doesn’t even know many easy Chinese words that are used in daily life. I plan to further my study in Italy. Although I’m not going to study in China, I wonder whether the same thing will happen to me, too. So I want to hear Professor Carter’s advice about my puzzle. Thank you.
