    Expert(专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours' sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指)with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “ early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.

    A report shows that without a good night's sleep, students seem to be weaker (虚弱)than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.

    Experts have ever said that the students should keep good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.

    "USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?" We often hear such discussions. As China opens its doors, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students.

    It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier to find jobs.

    Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.

    Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily.

    Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden(负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?

    We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China.Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal(金牌) at the Athens Olympics. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, consider whether studying abroad is the right choice(选择).

A. Liu Xiang is a good example.

B. They want to learn about the world.

C. Let's talk about some foreign customs.

D. But there are problems that should be considered(考虑).

E. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.

    Sports are all around us. We watch and read sports news. There are also sports clubs and even sports-only channels (频道) on TV. In many countries, players make millions of dollars every year.

    Sports play an important role in our daily lives. But why are sports so popular? They're only games, right?

    We have made a survey. Here are the readers' answers from all over the world.

Vlad (Ukraine)

    Sports bring people together. In 2006, our team was able to play in the 2006 World Cup for me first time. Everyone was very happy. Rich and poor, old and young, men and women—everyone was in the streets—having celebrations together!

Mike (USA)

    Sports bring people together, but they divide (分离) them too. Fans of different teams fight all the time—they shout and hit each other. And here's an example: My brother plays high school baseball. Last week, his team played an important game. At the game, two parents fought about a decision (判决). Come on…Baseball is only a game!

    Sports are so competitive (竞争性的) these days. It's all about winning. Then the game isn't fun at all.

Ahtoh (Russia)

    Right now, some of the world's best soccer players are from European countries, and the 2018 FIFA World Cup games will be held in Russia. Yes, some players make a lot of money—maybe too much, but sporting events (like the World Cup) bring not only tourists but also money to these host countries. And that is good for Russia.

  1. (1) This article is a ________ about sports.
    A . survey B . diary C . story D . book
  2. (2) What does Mike want to express by telling the example?
    A . Sports don't bring people together but divide them. B . It's impolite to fight with each other in sports games. C . When sports are all about winning, it's not fun at all. D . Mike himself doesn't like playing or watching games.
  3. (3) What difference can sporting events make according to Ahtoh?
    A . They can make sports become more competitive. B . They can bring tourists and money to the host countries. C . They can make players become the richest people in the world. D . They can cheer up people's lives.
  4. (4) Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A . The passage mentions three basketball players' opinions. B . The 2022 FIFA World Cup games will be held in Russia. C . People have different opinions about sports. D . Mike has the same idea about sports as Vlad.

    In Jinzhong, Shanxi Province, there is a group of people who are busy drawing maps around. They are not workers on geography, but dispatchers(调度员) on Emergency(急救) Center of the city.

Since 2007, the dispatchers in the center have been drawing maps of the local areas.

"We must answer the phone in 3 seconds, get clear information about the patient in 60 seconds and dispatch(调度) emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most. If we save one second, the patient may have a better chance to live."

    Although nowadays the center has electronic maps, the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand.

    After many years' hard work, the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind. They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building. Sometimes the caller can't tell clearly where he is, but it doesn't matter. As long as he describes the buildings around, the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical workers to him.

    "We are trying to be quicker than Death," says Liang.

    LONDON (Reuters) — Organic (有机的) fruit, sent right to the home. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer engineer will spend more money at the supermarket to buy organic food.

    "Organic food is always better," Gold said. "The food is free of pesticides (农药), and you are generally for family farms instead of large farms. And often it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying the organic fruit, and supermarkets across Britain are depending more on people like him. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic food? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their choices — but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic food. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported (进口) to meet growing needs. "The needs for organic food are increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market," said Sue Flock, a specialist in this business.

    A . they are getting richer B . they can get the food anywhere C . they think the food is free of pollution D . they like home-grown fruit

It was only March, but 16-year-old Hita thought that life wouldn't return to normal for a long time. To support lonely seniors, she began giving packages to nursing homes in her town in Pennsylvania.

"When I received a call from the nursing home I've been volunteering at telling me I couldn't visit any more because of the pandemic, I couldn't stop thinking about these seniors and the loneliness and anxiety they felt being isolated." Hita told CNN. "I knew I needed to remind them that they weren't alone, and I did everything I could to make sure they knew that."

Hita's efforts are a part of the organization Brighten A Day, which she started in 2018 to "spread joy to seniors and children in the hospital". With the help of other volunteers, she sent out almost 100,000 handwritten cards and packages to nursing homes in countries including Ireland, Australia, and Canada. They also make videos in which they tell jokes, play music, read poetry, or sing. They also call the seniors to make sure they have someone to talk to.

"________." Hita said. "A lot of the seniors cried when they opened the packages and read our cards. It's changing people's lives at a time when they need it the most."

Some of the seniors receiving packages live at the Woodbury Senior Living in Minnesota. Its director, Kathy, told CNN, "No one could imagine someone so young coming up with these ideas, but Hita found a way. The seniors don't feel alone. Instead, we see their expressions of joy and thanks knowing that someone out there is caring for them. So, Brighten A Day really does brighten a day."

AI is a double-edged sword. It can help us, but also cause us harm. Who is using AI? Is AI replacing humans? What should we do to avoid the risks and dangers that AI might bring?

Artificial intelligence is set to benefit mankind in many ways. It will make everyday tasks easier and bring efficiency to various industries. It might just prove to be one of man's greatest inventions.

And yet, like any other technology,      ▲    . In February 2018, a group of AI experts got together to discuss the possible misuse of AI. What they found was that "Every AI advance by the good guys is an advance for the bad guys, too," according to Quartz.

Their biggest concern was that criminals (罪犯) could use AI for wrongful purposes. One of the areas they looked at was the use of AI to create websites that could be used to steal people's personal information. Another possibility is that AI programs could be taught to hack software and break into computer secure systems.

There are some other concerns as well. It is possible that AI could be used to create fake images and videos. Chinese tech giant Baidu, in fact, has developed a program called Deep Voice that can "clone" anyone's voice by studying a 3.7-second audio sample.

Many leading figures in the tech world have expressed concern about AI. People like Bill Gates and Elon Musk have called for the industry to be more strictly regulated, as there are few laws right now on the use of AI.

However, this is set to change. In March 2018, the European Union plans to set up a group that will discuss the moral and ethical dangers of advanced AI – and hopefully, suggest some regulations that will help us keep it safe for mankind.

  1. (1) Which of the following can be put in      ▲    in Paragraph 3?
    A . AI makes our life easier B . AI will also bring risks C . AI is around us everyday D . AI beats human in many ways 
  2. (2) Some experts have concerns about AI because _________.
    A . it makes people lazier B . it is developing too fast C . it will replace workers in the future D . some people may use it to do bad things
  3. (3) Deep Voice is mentioned to show _______.
    A . how AI is developed B . what AI can do in the future C . why Baidu is a tech giant D . how AI can copy voices
  4. (4) We can infer from the passage that _______.
    A . there may be new laws to regulate the use of AI. B . AI will bring more harm than benefit to mankind. C . many AI programmers will become criminals. D . there will only be fake news and videos online.
  5. (5) This passage is written mainly to ________.
    A . tell readers that AI is a new invention B . introduce what AI is really about C . show that AI also has disadvantages D . suggest some rules for AI
