When we talk about the ways of traveling, different people may have different ideas. Some think that trains are the best but others think ships, or cars or planes are better. I think each of them has advantages and disadvantages.
Traveling by train is slower than by air, but it is more comfortable. There are comfortable seats and dining-cars. You can talk to people and enjoy the beautiful sceneries (风景) through the windows. The train to some people is just like a big moving party.
Some people prefer to travel by sea. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday. You can go to parties and movies on the ship, and enjoy the blue sky and water. You may think you are the king of the world when you are on the board.
Some people like to travel by car. You needn’t be in a hurry to arrive on time as you travel by train, ship or air. You can travel as far as you like and stop wherever you wish. That is to say, you enjoy more freedom of choices while traveling by car than by any other means.
Other people like to travel by air. Although it may cost more than the other ways. It can save much time and it is more convenient to travel by air if you go abroad. That is why traveling by air is popular for business people and students who study abroad.

Confidence is very important in our daily life. It can help us to develop a healthy attitude (态度). A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chances to make themselves successful.
But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions:
Speak loud. When you are not confident, you can’t do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.
Play sports. Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.
Encourage yourself. Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you have done. This is the best way to encourage yourself.
Pick up a hobby. If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you outstanding. And it will make you happy and confident.

It has been two months since Richard Watson placed 200 special transmitters (信号发射机) for his cows. They are parts of an AI system named Ida. This AI system can send messages to Watson’s phone when his cows are healthy or when they are not feeling well. It can tell how many animals are sick to the dairy farmers (奶农) and also help them pick out the sick animals.
With the AI system, farmers can get the information from their phones instead of going to the farms to check animals every day. So this AI system can help people spend their free time doing other things. Many dairy farmers are interested in Ida. Watson is one of them. On a common morning in March, he took out his phone to check his Ida App. It showed that Cows #97800 and #97782 were eating less. This might mean that there was something wrong with them.
However, some farmers say, “I can find out the sick cow just by looking at her eyes.” Mark Rodgers is a neighbor of Watson’s. He said, “This is what I can do by myself. My experience can help me look after them better. Technology isn’t useful.”
Ida was developed by Yasir Khokhar, the boss of the company. He said he came up with the idea while he was living on a farm in Holland. The system can record cow’s behaviors by studying videos of them. The company is still trying to improve this technology to provide much more convenience for farmers.
13. According to the text, the AI system Ida can help farmers ________.
① chat with their animals ② pick out the sick animals ③ record animals’ behaviors ④ change animals’ food
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ②④
14. What’s the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. Farmers have problems feeding cows.
B. Farmers are busy doing other things.
C. This AI system is used in different ways.
D. This AI system is popular with dairy farmers.
15. Which of the following best describes Yasir Khokhar?
A. Creative. B. Brave. C. Honest. D. Friendly.
16. What can we infer (推断) from the text?
A. Yasit Khokhar will stop his company business.
B. Richard Watson will keep more cows on his farm.
C. Mark Rodgers doesn’t want any help from the system.
D. The system can also provide the cows with music lessons.

Do you know the old man? He is called “Grandpa Nice” because of his world-famous meme (表情包). His real name is Michael Rosen and he is a writer of children’s books.
Rosen wrote more than 200 books. One of his most famous books is We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. Another best-seller, Sad Book, is about his sadness after his son died at the age of 18.
Last year, Rosen got the PEN Pinter Prize (笔会品特奖). “Rosen is talented (有天赋) in writing about the most serious things of life with fun. He tells us how to find the best side of ourselves,” Amber Massie-Bloomfield, a famous writer said.
Rosen is glad to get the prize, but he is happier when writing. He says writing is like a lovely room because he can create many different people and things in it.
Rosen met many sad things in his life but he could always look forward with optimism (乐观). He sees the sad things as “corners”. There is an English saying, “I’ve turned a corner.” It means we’ve got over (克服) something and we are moving on to the next thing. In real life, there is always a “next thing”, and we should never lose hope.
