In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.
This sometimes happens with humans also．But I have found that my weakness brings
out the kindness in people．I see it every day when people hold doors for me，pour
cream into my coffee， or help me to put on my coat．And I have discovered that it
makes them happy．
From my wheelchair experience，I see the best in people，but sometimes I feel sad
because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily．They don't get to
see this soft side of others. Often ， we try every way possible to avoid showing our
weakness，which includes a lot of pretending．But only when we stop pretending we're
brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them．
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry，
with some speeding up alongside me, horning（按喇叭）or even shouting at me．At the
moment , I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I
put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed．
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights，I was saying to the other drivers,"I have a problem
here．I am weak and doing the best I can．" And everyone understood． Several
times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass．They couldn't get around me because of the
stream of passing traffic．But instead of getting impatient and angry，they waited，
knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak．
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel
that way．But those are few and far between. More often，it would be better if we don't
pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are
scared．
4. The author has discovered that people will feel happy when___．
A. they offer their help B. they receive others' help

C. They tried their best to help． D. They put on their flashlights too．
6．In this passage，the author advises us to_______．
A. handle problems by ourselves B. accept help from others
C. admit our weakness D. show our bravery
7．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?_______
A. A Wheelchair Experience． B. Weakness and Kindness．
C. Weakness and Strength． D. A Driving Experience．

Imagine you are opening your own company and want to hire a manager. You have
two candidates and they are both capable and experienced, so who would you rather hire: Julia Watson or Shobha Bhattacharva? Chances are that you would prefer Watson,
right? But why?
“Easy names are evaluated as more familiar, less risky and less dangerous, ” Eryn
Newman, a scientist at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, told Scientific
American. As a result, people with easier names are often assumed to be more
trustworthy. This is what Newman and her teammates have found in their recent study.
In the experiment, they picked 18 different foreign names, including
difficult-to-pronounce ones like Yevgeni Dherzhinsky and easy names like Bodo
Wallmeyer. They then attached each name with a statement such as “turtles are deaf”
and “giraffes are the only mammals that cannot jump” and asked volunteers whether
they thought the claims were true.
The results showed that claims connected to easier names were more often ranked
as believable than those attributed to difficult names, regardless of what the truth really
was. In fact, previous studies have already found that our judgments about products can
be affected by their names. For example, we tend to think of a food additive (添加剂)
with an easier name as safer and a stock （股票）with an easier name as more lucrative
(利润丰厚的)，according to Medical Daily.
But researchers pointed out that this effect can change depending on where
someone comes from. For example, a native British man may find “ Yevgeni
Dherzhinsky ” hard to pronounce while Russian people could say it without effort.
Newman hopes that this finding can make us better see our biases (偏见). It’s not just
unfair to people that we make judgments based on gut feelings (直觉) rather than facts,
and it can sometimes have serious consequences.
For example, we may choose to believe certain eyewitnesses in court simply
because their names sound more trustworthy even if they are actually lying. Or, we may
let go of qualified job candidates due to their“difficult”names.
Now, if you could make that decision again, would you still prefer Julia Watson
to Shobha Bhattacharva?
8. What did Newman and her teammates discover in their experiment?
A. Volunteers with easier names were more likely to choose true claims.B. A difficult name doesn’t influence the way the volunteers viewed the claims.
C. Volunteers trusted claims paired with easy names more often.
D. Volunteers trusted claims connected with difficult names.
9. The underlined words“this effect”in Paragraph 5 refer to the effect ______.
A. names have on people’s judgments
B. gut feelings have on people from different places
C. of decisions made based on facts
D. of people’s biases against certain types of people
10. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. We should think twice before we make a decision.
B. The harder your name is to pronounce, the more likely it is you will get a job.
C. Judging people based on their names may cause serious problems.
D. Russians have less bias against people’s names than the British.
11. What is probably the best title for the text?
A. Names Affect Products
B. Employers Prefer Shobha Bhattacharva
C. Difficult Names are Trustworthy
D. Easy Names Win Out
D
Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci... the art world has never
lacked talent.And now, a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isn't
even human.
Next month, the auction house Christie's Prints and Multiples will make history by
offering the first piece of art created by artificial intelligence (AI) for sale. The painting
is a portrait of a man called Edmond De Belamy, and is expected to be sold for up to $
10,000.
The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, was created by
software developed by the French art group Obvious. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector,
called the work "grotesque and amazing at the same time". This isn't the first example of AI-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs.
However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all.
According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) , art is about creating
emotion(情感). It's"a means of... joining people together in the same feelings," he once
said.
So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it, the ability to create and use tools is
what makes human beings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI
technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several
designers. Together, they "fed" the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to
the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its
own.
The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement.
However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet.
"The human mind is what's behind the AI technology. And the human mind is not
a cold, hard fact," said Oscar Schwartz, a professor of AI. "Rather, it is something that's
created with our opinions and something that changes over time. "
12. Why does the author mention the artists in Paragraph l?
A.To introduce their works. B.To make an advertisement.
C.To present a piece of news. D.To focus the topic on AI.
13. What does the underlined word "grotesque" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Strange. B.Simple. C.Messy. D.Understandable.
14．What can we learn about the AI-produced artwork according to Paragraph 5?
A．It comes from human works.
B．It shows the human ability to create.
C．It expresses human feelings effectively.
D．It is beyond the imagination of humans.
15. Oscar Schwartz thinks the human mind is _________compared with AI.
A. limited B. Decisive C. useless D．meaningful

Kids’ health: Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 16 Some ways of dealing with
stress ---like screaming or hitting someone---don’t solve (解决)much. But other ways,
like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least
feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about
you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 17 They might have
had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.
(2) Don’t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset
they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are
always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself. 18
(3) Try to solve the problem. After you’re calm and you have support from adults
and friends, it’s time to get down to business. 19 Even if you can’t solve it all, you
can solve a piece of it.
(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary( 暂 时 的 ).Remember stress does go
away,especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.
These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you
make your way through a tough time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster. 20
A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.
B. Notice your friends’ feelings and find a way to help them.
C. Different people feel stress in different ways.
D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.
E. You need to figure out what the problem is.
F. And don’t forget about your friends.
G. Then, find a way to calm down.

The novel coronavirus(冠状病毒), which 41 (begin) in the Chinese city of
Wuhan and has now spread to 12countries, has much in common 42 seasonal flu.
They are both viral infections, share similar symptoms and crucially( 关键 地） can
spread from human to human. In the midst of flu season in much of the northern
hemisphere, 43 (tell) the difference between the two will be vital in stopping its
spread.
Human coronaviruses, of 44 there are four, can cause respiratory ( 呼 吸
道)infections similar to flu: while many symptoms are mild, both can lead to pneumonia（肺炎） and become lethal（致命的）. 45 , the novel coronavirus is more serious
than a"typical influenza infection,( 流感)"says Ian Jones, a professor of virology at the
University of Reading.
"This virus appears to go 46 (far) down into the lungs than would generally be
the case. Therefore, it will give you 47 (symptom) of pneumonia(肺炎): the lungs
becoming flooded, they don't function very well and the patient gets into breathing
difficulty.
While the mortality rates and symptoms of flu and novel coronavirus may end up
being similar, humans' ability 48 (fight) off the viruses differs greatly.
Humans have naturally built up antibodies to seasonal flu and annual vaccines
have been developed to fight 49 . During a pandemic(流行病), which the new
coronavirus has the potential to become, "there is no immunity( 免 疫 性 ) in the
population so you have potential for a ___50___(globe) spread," warns Jones.

Dear David，
I'm delighted to receive your letter in which you asked about our arrangements
for the World Reading Day.
What deserves to be mentioned most is the theme of the Reading Day---Reading
Chinese Classics and Inheriting Chinese Culture.Obviously, its aim is to raise our
awareness of passing on traditional Chinese culture.
It's widely acknowledged that reading benefits us in many ways.Not only can
it broaden our horizons but it also deepens our thoughts. Therefore, a series of activities,
such as Reading Salon, a Second-hand Book Exchange will take place on that day.
How I wish you could join us!
Yours，
Li Hua
