Imagine you’ re rushing through a crowded subway station, late for a meeting. Suddenly someone is walking very slowly in front of you, playing with his/her smart phone. You will probably feel angry, but have you ever done the same thing? 11 When you see someone looking different, you may want to take a picture or a video. 12 If you want a picture, ask them first. Your friends may not mind your taking pictures of them. But if you want to post them online, make sure you ask before posting anything embarrassing (尴尬的). 13 As we all know, smart phones are great tools for communicating with friends over long distances. However, nowadays it’s common to see people sitting together, not speaking but just looking at their smart phones. 14 It may not be a good thing that you always have something to do on your smart phone. 15 So don’t spend every spare moment with your phone, and you may get many wonderful ideas.

But that’s just one example about numbers in China. When I first came here, I was surprised to see that many websites had numbers in their names instead of letters. I soon found that this is actually convenient, as Chinese characters (汉字) cannot be used for website addresses. 18 In pinyin, the telecom company China Unicom is called Zhongguo Liantong. If the company used their pinyin name for their website address, it would be quite long. 19 In addition, the pronunciations of some numbers sound similar to other words in Chinese. This is wordplay ( 双 关 语 ). For example, the numbers “520” in Chinese sound similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese phrase “I love you”. 20 A．They can only use numbers or letters instead. B．There are also superstitions (迷信) about some numbers in China. C．In western countries, some people think the number 13 brings bad luck. D．It is interesting to see how Chinese people use numbers in different ways. E．So instead, they used the hotline number—10010.com. This is easier to type and remember. F．Many couples choose to get married on May 20th for this reason. Passage 5 Have you heard of the “happy switch”? If people have illnesses like depression (沮丧), doctors can put a “happy switch” in their heads. 21 A hospital has tested the switch on 26 patients since 2020. Up to now, it has helped cut down a patient’s sad feelings by 60 percent, the hospital said. In fact, the “happy switch” is a kind of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI，脑机接). It works like a bridge. 22 Some BCIs can affect people’s brain activities. Some can let people control the computer with their thoughts. Because of the good use of BCI, in the future, they will help people in more ways. Play games. BCI can help people play computer games without using their hands. They can think of the word “jump”. 23 Make life easier. Imagine your brain is connected to the “computer” of your home. Wouldn’t it be great to turn 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 5 off lights before going to bed just by thinking about it? 24 When two people are connected to a computer at the same time, they can chat without saying a word or typing.

D．Many people can’t draw very well or make music. E．Soon their character jumps in the game. F．Move your mouse. Passage 6 The undersea world is very beautiful. Now more and more people want to dive (潜水) in the water to find the secret there. Scuba diving is a new sport today. 26 You will find many strange animals in the sea. 27 Some give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth. During the day, there is enough light. Here, under the sea, everything is blue and green. When fishes swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands. When you have bottles of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. 28 And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water. The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It’s cold. And it’s dark too. 29 At about 3,000 feet, there is no light at all. It is very dark in the sea. Many fishes have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have eyes on one side. Beside the cold and the darkness, deep-sea animals face a third danger—other animals. Animals eat! They must find food to eat. Many animals eat plants. 30 This means these sea animals have two big jobs. They need to find animals as food, and they have to try not to become other animals’ meal. A．Some are as large as a school bus. B．However, you can’t dive too deep. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 6 C．However, some animals eat meat. D．It can take you into a wonderful undersea world.

Flying cars can save time and help reach places easily. 32 With lots of cars flying around, people need to control the traffic in the air. And it is too difficult for people to control in real time. Safety is another problem. If flying cars fall from the sky, it will hurt not just the people in the car, but people on the ground, too. 33 Cars and airplanes had lots of problems at first, too. 34 Tomohiro Fukuzawa, the CEO of the company, wants the flying cars to be able to fly two people on trips of up to 5 kilometers by 2023.

If one computer in the net broke down, then the whole net stopped. 37 It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. 38 But, in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. 39 Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet more convenient.

At the age of 21, Clemens decided to continue to go after his dream. It took him two years to have training before he became a steamboat pilot (蒸汽船驾驶员).

Passage 10 Art can show humans’ creative mind. But these years, you may read news about (AI人工智能) creating its own art 46 But this worry seems to be unnecessary, at least for now. AI is bringing artists more possibilities, not taking the place of artists. 47 These days, a piece of music created by AI became hot online. AI turns the novel corona virus (新冠病毒 ) into a piece of two-hour long music on its protein structure (蛋白质结构氨基酸 ). 48 Listeners found this music made them see the virus from a new point of view. 49 AI truly helps artists create things that they ever thought impossible before. 50 For example, AI now can help to color in black-and-white lines in making cartoons so that it could help artists save much time. We hope that AI can become a useful helper to make a difference to the art world if it’s welcomed and trusted. A．The AI then turned these notes into music.
