How school plays make a difference
Everyone remembers their first time on stage. The school play is the first time most of us experience doing drama. It's the first chance to both test your acting skills and build up your self-confidence.
Although I have been deeply interested in acting from a very young age, I haven't got a _______ to actually act on stage. That's why I was so nervous for the play Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in my first year of school. After studying all the characters in the play, I chose Veruca Salt. Disappointingly, I only got a _______ with no lines. I didn't say a word at all. However, this was my first performance on stage, I still remember the feelings I had when the lights went down and I noticed that many people were there to watch.
After that, I decided to _______ any difficulty next time. I did well in reading aloud in class and I knew I had to take good advantage of that. So when the chance of the play Pinnochio came, I made up my mind to be the narrator (旁白). As I stood in front of the teachers, I was so _______ again when I realized I was the only girl going for the part. But after the boys before me couldn't finish their lines, it was my time to get right. I stepped forward, took a deep breath and went for it. I did it! I will never _______ the moment I stood in the bright light with everyone's attention. I even remember the beautiful dress my mom made me to _______ while narrating. Black with heavy gold thread (线) running through it, it made me look super and smart.
Recently, I watched the play The Snow White at the National Theatre. The joy on the faces of the little actors and actresses was _______. For those young students who act in school plays, they build up strong confidence, a great power of learning and even a beautiful dream to be a real actor or actress in the future.
That's why the black and gold _______ still hangs in my old bedroom. And I have to be honest—it did look great in the light.
【1】A.chance B.time C.moment D.period

The usual way of showing one's love is expressing it with words, but my dad is different. He’s the one who cared so much for me and showed love in so many other ways than the usual ways of other adults.
In my earlier years I would wake my dad up and say, “Dad, I'm hungry. Could you make me something to eat” “Sure, what a question. How about a piece of steak and some eggs?” He would answer happily. “Well, I'm not sure, it would be too much trouble,” would say without listening to my stomach. “No worries,” would be his reply with joy, as he always answered me that way.
Sunday is my dad's only rest day but he would come up to me and say. “How about a game of cricket?” “Yes, Dad! That will be great,” I would reply happily. On the days when he was too tired to play, he would still say, “Yeah, sure! I’ll play.” My Mom would come and call me to the side and explain that my Dad was just too tired to play but could not say no to me. He always had and has time for me.
As time flew by I started to become a teenager with independence and what seemed to me as a childish game over food became a stupid idea. On the days he didn't work he would come to me. "Give Dad a smile," he would say encouragingly. “Dad, at the moment I can’t smile.” I would say. “Please. Just one smile and then I won't ask again,” he would playfully. Looking at his funny face. I couldn't help smiling.
I wrote this to thank my dad. The one who would make me food late at night when I was too tired to do so. The one who would sit by my bed in my time of greatest need. The one who couldn't say no to his son.

Ever since the invention of the e-reader came into being, book-lovers everywhere have been debating which is better — the e-book or the traditional paper book. Can the prices of paper books compete with the low prices of e-books? Does the convenience of e-books compare with the feeling of a real book in your hands?
When I was young, I really loved reading paper books. With the rapid development of the technology, e-books have become very popular. As a result, I personally enjoy both with many good reasons.
1. E-books are more convenient to carry around.
If you’re like me, before going on a vacation, the hardest part packing may be choosing what books to bring. Your suitcase can only hold some of the books you like. What if you finish those before your vacation is over? Or what if you get bored with them and want to read something else? With an e-reader, you never have to worry about these kinds of problems, which carries around thousands of books all on a device that weights than a pound.
2. E-books are more effectively to read.
Since e-books can show the words in different sizes and even read the books to us, it has the advantage for people who might have a hard time reading or people with poor eyesight. People can also choose how many words to display on one line or how much space there is between lines according to their personal preferences. This allows those with reading disabilities to read more effectively.
3. Paper books help with readers' understanding.
Though e-books may be easier and faster to read, studies show paper books are better for understanding. According to a study by James Madison University, readers are more likely to skim e-books than paper books, which leads to less understanding of the content. Paper books allow readers to read slowly and deeply which give readers more chances to think over and understand more.
4. Paper books help with readers' sleep.
Studies also show the light from some e-books causes sleeping problems. The bright screens of e-readers can cause people to take longer to fall asleep or in some cases insomnia. Paper books don't cause these problems. So, if you' re a person who can't easily fall asleep or has problems with insomnia, paper books have the advantage.
In a word, both e-books and paper books have their advantages. So, as for the beginning question, "Which is better — the e-book or the traditional paper book? I don't think there's a right answer. As for me, I say, why not both?
【1】What can we learn from the passage?
A.E-books help readers solve the problem of packing by displaying more words on one line.
B.E-books help readers with reading disabilities by showing more interesting storybooks.
C.Paper books help readers understand more by giving readers more chances to think.
D.Paper books help readers with sleeping problems by wider space between lines.
【2】What does the underlined word "insomnia" mean?
A.An inability to sleep. B.An inability to wake up.
C.An ability to sleep. D.An ability to wake up.
【3】Which of the following will the writer mostly take on vacation?
A.Some paper books that are easier to finish.
B.One thick paper book to keep his vacation longer.
C.An e-reader to keep away from boring chatting.
D.Both an e-reader and his favorite paper books.

Dogs have an amazing talent for understand human social behavior, and they can take actions upon human orders, but what if they are given instructions not by real humans but by humanoid robots that behave like humans? Will dogs obey the robot's orders?
At the International Conference on Human Robot Interaction2020. Researchers at Yale University’s Social Robotics Lab tested how dogs responded to instructions from robots. A group of 34 dogs participated in the experiment, and each dog was tested with either a speaker or a human-like robot in a room. After a brief introduction to the testing environment, the robot or speaker called the dog's name, using the same voice. Then the robot or speaker would give a "sit" order, which was the real test.
Results of the experiments showed that the dogs paid more attention to the robot than the speaker. Dogs obeyed the "sit" order over 60% of the time when it came from the robot, but less than 20% of the time when it came from the speaker, even if they did look a bit confused about the whole thing at times.
While these results are certainly interesting, it's important to answer the question of whether dogs could respond to a social robot at all. The researchers were giving the dogs a great opportunity. For example, the dogs' owners were instructed to interact with the robot, talking to it and making eye contact, to help encourage the dogs to see the robot as friendly and make the anxiety less while also drawing attention to the robot. However, they haven' t discovered what factors (因素) might increase or decrease that likelihood.
"Since dogs are very sensitive to human social cues (暗示), the robot being humanoid or not may make a difference, lead researcher Meiying Qin said. "Yet, if a non-humanoid robot behaves like a dog or shows any social behaviors, dogs may also respond in a social manner."
"Now that we have evidence that dogs do respond to social robots, the next step is to figure out what we haven't discovered yet," added Meiying Qin. "Humanoid robot, which is one of the greatest invention in the 20th century, is the advanced representation of robot technique." Some people may question the value of making social robots for pets. Dogs aren't the only animals that robots interact with, of course the larger idea is that by studying how dogs behave toward social robots relative to humans, it can help us understand bow social robots affect our own behavior, too.
【1】Paragraph 2 is mainly about ________.
A.how the test was performed B.what was found in the test
C.why the scientists did the test D.who took part in the test
【2】The researcher later will probably focus on ________.
A.human orders given to dogs B.factor to affect dog’s response
C.robot technique to develop D.social robots designed for pets
【3】We can learn from the experiment that ________.
A.dogs seldom obey the order from a humanoid robot
B.dogs pay less attention to a mechanical-looking robot
C.dogs can pay more attention to owners’ voice in the speaker
D.dogs can understand the social meanings from machines
【4】The lead researcher Meiying Qin probably agrees that ________.
A.humanoid robots can influence humans’ behaviors
B.it is worthless to design advanced robots for animals
C.robots will take the place of humans to look after pets
D.humans don’t respond socially to non-humanoid robots

In 2016, Lang Ping became the first in volleyball history to win an Olympic gold medal both as a player and a coach, Because it's unusual for an outstanding athlete to be an excellent coach as well, she is thought to be China’s Michael Jordan.
Born from a poor family in Tianjin in 1960, she didn't get very much to eat. Life took a lucky turn in middle school. Since she enjoyed sports a lot, at the age of 13, she joined her school volleyball team. Volleyball suited her. She became famous because of her powerful arm movement. Then in 1978, at just 18, Lang joined China's first women’s national volleyball team. She became the captain in 1984 for her good performance. The team fought on the world stage, winning the FIVB 1981 Women’s World Cup and the World Championships of 1982.
After that, Lang Ping stayed on as an assistant (助理) coach. This was more of a challenge. She thinks being a coach is different from being a player. “As a player, all you need to think about is producing your best performance on the court. But as a coach you have to consider the players, training, competition and even factors off the court that may help or harm the team,” she once said in an interview.
She retired as a player in 1986. After a few years, she rejoined the Chinese team as a coach with a set of goals. First, to make China the leading Asian team in the world rankings. Second, to get a medal at the Rio Olympics. From these simple goals came great results.
Her story is now being told through a movie, Leap, with famous Chinese actress Gong Li playing the role of her. For the Chinese, she's much more than just a volleyball coach. Lang Ping's example will no doubt be a guiding light for years to come. "No matter what challenges you face, do your best," she has said. "Believe in the power of hard work. Success will surely belong to those who never give up. "
It’s because of her that the "women’s volleyball team spirit" is remembered by the nation. It’s a mindset that made Lang a national hero and China No.1 in the world rankings for Women’s volleyball.
