Easier to Read Reading can be a big challenge for tens of millions of people. They may have poor vision (视力) or reading difficulties. But OrCam Read can help them! It’s the first of its kind reading pen with a smart camera and an AI system. After scanning (扫描) a page of text with the click of a button, it can read the text aloud to the user. You don’t need to connect it to the Internet. You can use it offline at home, work, school, or even in stores when you need to read a price tag. Sweet Idea Honey is produced by bees (蜜蜂). But today’s beekeeping business is not good for these hard-working insects. Bee farmers may kill them after harvesting honey because it’s cheaper than feeding the bees through the winter. To save bees, US company MeliBio has found a way to make the world’s first bee-free honey. They used synthetic biology (合成生物学) to create honey directly from plants. ________________ When you feel angry or unhappy, what do you do about it Scientists say you can try to calm yourself. This can help you calm down. That’s why Purrble was invented. This furry (毛茸茸的) bear—like toy has 9 sensors (感应器). It has a quick “heartbeat” and can respond to your touch. As you hold and pet it, its heartbeat slows. And it purrs (发出咕噜声) like a cat. It sounds like it really enjoys your touch! Through petting Purrble, you will easily notice your own feelings and learn to calm yourselves.
31. All the news above have something to do with ________.
A. magical world B. cultural differences

A few weeks ago, I went into Chase’s class for help. I e-mailed Chase’s teacher one evening and said, “My son keeps telling me that his homework is maths, but I’m not sure whether I should believe him. Help, please.” She e-mailed right back and said, “No problem! I can help Chase after school anytime.” And I said, “No, not him. Me. He gets it. Help me.”
And that’s why I stayed with Chase’s maths teacher. We talked about teaching children. We agreed that subjects like maths and reading are not the most important things that are learned in a classroom. We also talked about something else — kindness and bravery.
And then she told me this.
Every Friday afternoon Chase’s teacher asks her students to take out a piece of paper and write down whom they’d like to sit with the following week. She also asks the students to nominate (推荐) who is the most popular student that week. They needn’t write down their names on the paper.
After the students go home, she takes out those pieces of paper and studies them. In fact, Chase’s teacher is not looking for a new seating chart (表) or “popular students”. She is looking for lonely children. She’s looking for the ones who don’t want to talk with others. She is finding out whose names are not noticed by their classmates. ★
After watching Columbine, the wise woman knew that all violence (暴力) comes from loneliness. So she decided to start fighting violence early and often, and what she is doing is SAVING LIVES.
And she finds the lonely kids from those lists and tries to help them. It’s maths to her. All is love — even Maths.
36. Chase’s parent asked for help by ________.
A. going to the teacher’s home B. calling the teacher
C. e-mailing Chase’s teacher D. writing a letter
37. Chase’s teacher asks her students to write down some names on paper ________.
A. because she wants to find the lonely children
B. because she is looking for a new seating cha
C. because she is looking for the popular student
D. because she wants to help her students learn Maths
38. Which of the following can be put in ★
A. Then she gets to know who needs help
B. Then she emails to the students’ parents
C. Then she gives a new seat chart next week
D. Then she finds the most popular student in the class
39. What do we know about the teacher
A. She’s ready to help the parents. B. She’s kind and full of love.
C. She’s good at teaching Maths. D. She’s a good mother.
40. The best title for the passage can be ________.
A. Learning Maths B. Looking for Help
C. Teaching Children D. Looking for the Lonely
C
Free time is a good chance for teenagers to have fun. What about free time with parents around Some teenagers want free play without parents’ supervision (监管) while parents and experts may think differently.
Lin Tao, a middle school student, thinks teenagers should be free to play. “Last time I played with my parents around, I was nervous (紧张) and just couldn’t enjoy myself to the fullest.” Lin says. “And my friend Chen Xiaoxin has similar experiences. Once, he went out to play with his classmates. Everyone felt uncomfortable with his mother’s supervision.”
Wang Min, a mother of a 14-year-old boy, thinks playtime needs supervision. She explains, “People usually say I like to control my kid, but that’s not true. I am just worried that he will get into trouble. Some guys may have a bad influence on him and some games like LARP may mislead him. He might even get indulged in the stories and can’t get back to real life.”
Mr. Ma, a doctor of social studies, says it’s understandable for teenagers to wish for freedom. Free play helps them to be independent. Parents can give them more space. They don’t have to supervise them all the time. However, teenagers should find out the exact details (细节) about the activities before playtime. Then they can communicate with their parents and decide together whether they can go out to play alone.
41. For teenagers, free time is a good chance to ________.
A. study hard B. mislead parents C. enjoy themselves D. get into trouble
42 Lin Tao supports his own idea by ________.
A. giving examples B. listing numbers
C. raising (提出) questions D. comparing (比较) facts
43. The underlined words “get indulged in” probably mean ________.
A. get interested in B. get lost in C. get worried about D. get tired of
44. Mr. Ma may agree with the idea that ________.
A. He Kai’s parents are around every time he plays with his friends
B. Liu Xiang goes out without knowing anything about the activities
C. Feng Zhongfan’s parents never ask him about whom he plays with
D. Xie Hao talks to his parents about the exact details before playtime
45. This passage mainly wants to tell us ________.
A. why teenagers need free time to get relaxed
B. how teenagers can make full use of their free time
C. what teenagers can do to make their free time meaningful
D. whether teenagers need parents’ supervision to enjoy free time

A few weeks ago, I went into Chase’s class for help. I e-mailed Chase’s teacher one evening and said, “My son keeps telling me that his homework is maths, but I’m not sure whether I should believe him. Help, please.” She e-mailed right back and said, “No problem! I can help Chase after school anytime.” And I said, “No, not him. Me. He gets it. Help me.”
And that’s why I stayed with Chase’s maths teacher. We talked about teaching children. We agreed that subjects like maths and reading are not the most important things that are learned in a classroom. We also talked about something else — kindness and bravery.
And then she told me this.
Every Friday afternoon Chase’s teacher asks her students to take out a piece of paper and write down whom they’d like to sit with the following week. She also asks the students to nominate (推荐) who is the most popular student that week. They needn’t write down their names on the paper.
After the students go home, she takes out those pieces of paper and studies them. In fact, Chase’s teacher is not looking for a new seating chart (表) or “popular students”. She is looking for lonely children. She’s looking for the ones who don’t want to talk with others. She is finding out whose names are not noticed by their classmates. ★
After watching Columbine, the wise woman knew that all violence (暴力) comes from loneliness. So she decided to start fighting violence early and often, and what she is doing is SAVING LIVES.
And she finds the lonely kids from those lists and tries to help them. It’s maths to her. All is love — even Maths.

Free time is a good chance for teenagers to have fun. What about free time with parents around Some teenagers want free play without parents’ supervision (监管) while parents and experts may think differently.
Lin Tao, a middle school student, thinks teenagers should be free to play. “Last time I played with my parents around, I was nervous (紧张) and just couldn’t enjoy myself to the fullest.” Lin says. “And my friend Chen Xiaoxin has similar experiences. Once, he went out to play with his classmates. Everyone felt uncomfortable with his mother’s supervision.”
Wang Min, a mother of a 14-year-old boy, thinks playtime needs supervision. She explains, “People usually say I like to control my kid, but that’s not true. I am just worried that he will get into trouble. Some guys may have a bad influence on him and some games like LARP may mislead him. He might even get indulged in the stories and can’t get back to real life.”
Mr. Ma a doctor of social studies, says it’s understandable for teenagers to wish for freedom. Free play helps them to be independent. Parents can give them more space. They don’t have to supervise them all the time. However, teenagers should find out the exact details (细节) about the activities before playtime.
