In 1959 Gu succeeded in developing the first polio live vaccine. Later, he developed the “sugar-coated (糖衣) pill” vaccine in 1962. It not only tasted better but was much easier to keep. In order to test the vaccine, Gu himself tried the vaccine and later his one-month-old son was vaccinated. This inspired his team to vaccinate their kids. They became the first group of people in China to try a polio vaccine. “If we don’t believe in what we produce, how can others believe in it?” said Gu.
Later, the sugar pill was popular in China. It saved millions of people, especially kids. In 2000, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced (宣布) that China was already a polio-free country.“We feel satisfied.

As technology has improved, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming stronger. And one of the most exciting new tools is Sora. It is a text-to-video tool that can give us a new way to make videos.
Sora, which means “sky” in Japanese, shows the strong ability of AI. It allows users to put in text, and then make a video in several minutes. Anyone can bring ideas into life in a short time, without any skills. That’s the power of Sora.

When the Dragon Boat Festival comes, many Chinese like to watch or take part in dragon boat races. However, in a small village in Fuzhou, people are busy making dragon boats during the festival.
Fangzhuang, known as the “Dragon Boat Village”, has a history of more than 700 years of boat-making. It is the biggest dragon boat making place in China.
Fang Shaohuang, a 72-year-old man, has a boat-making factory in Fangzhuang. He began to learn the skill (技能) 58 years ago. It is not easy to build a dragon boat because workers need to use many tools (工具) and finish all the work by hand.
“The materials (材料) for making the boat are crucial.” Fang said. “We often choose trees over 40 years old. And the wood must be hard and waterproof (耐水的) or the boat can’t be used for a long time.”
In Fang’s factory, the boats are 18 meters long, and each of them can carry (承载) as many as 34 people. It usually takes one worker over 20 days to finish a boat. This year, the four main factories in Fangzhuang made about 200 boats before the festival.
Besides making boats, the factory also welcomes visitors. Many primary school students and college students come to learn about the traditional boat-making skill. “My son says he hopes to build a hall for showing our boats so that more young people are able to know about the dragon boat culture,” Fang said.

C.They are made of bad materials. D.Each of them can carry 20 people.
37.What can we learn from the last paragraph (段落) ?
A.Fang hopes to build a big hall on the dragon boat.

When the Dragon Boat Festival comes, many Chinese like to watch or take part in dragon boat races. However, in a small village in Fuzhou, people are busy making dragon boats during the festival.
Fangzhuang, known as the “Dragon Boat Village”, has a history of more than 700 years of boat-making. It is the biggest dragon boat making place in China.
Fang Shaohuang, a 72-year-old man, has a boat-making factory in Fangzhuang. He began to learn the skill (技能) 58 years ago. It is not easy to build a dragon boat because workers need to use many tools (工具) and finish all the work by hand.
“The materials (材料) for making the boat are crucial.” Fang said. “We often choose trees over 40 years old. And the wood must be hard and waterproof (耐水的) or the boat can’t be used for a long time.”
In Fang’s factory, the boats are 18 meters long, and each of them can carry (承载) as many as 34 people. It usually takes one worker over 20 days to finish a boat. This year, the four main factories in Fangzhuang made about 200 boats before the festival.
Besides making boats, the factory also welcomes visitors. Many primary school students and college students come to learn about the traditional boat-making skill. “My son says he hopes to build a hall for showing our boats so that more young people are able to know about the dragon boat culture,” Fang said.
