It is called WeRun. WeRun lets us see our daily step counts. One of its most popular features (特征) is the ranking list (排行榜). It shows users’ daily step counts and compares them with those of their WeChat friends. Now, more and more people are using WeRun. We wonder how much we can learn about a person from his or her step count. Let’s take a look. Step Count Range Details Less than 50 steps If someone takes about 30 steps a day, they may be sick or sad. Or they are just too lazy to get out of bed. 50~500 steps It’s easy to take a few hundred steps a day. Going shopping, for example, will be enough. 501~8,000 steps On average, most students and workers take between 501 and 8,000 steps a day. These step counts usually place them in the middle of the ranking list. 8,001~30,000 steps Salespeople, guides and sportspeople often take a lot of steps a day because they are always on the move. More than 30,000 steps These step counts are mostly at the top of the ranking list. The people who have them are policemen, reporters, cleaners and so on. They are the people who help us to live easy and comfortable lives. To some degree (程度), a person’s WeRun records can show his or her character and personal life. 16. What is WeRun? A. A popular game on WeChat. B. An app that makes people walk more. C. A ranking list on WeChat that shows a person’s character. D. An official account on WeChat that helps users see their everyday step counts. 17. If Jack goes to sleep, Lily wants to rank higher than him in the WeRun ranking list. How many more steps does she need to take at least to rank higher than him? 1 Jack 32,000 2 Mike 19,000 3 Lily 8,000 4 Lucy 4,000 A. 28,001 B. 28,000 C. 24,001 D. 24,000 18.

He hung it in his house, and he could see it in a mirror. The animals outside heard about the picture from the artist’s cat. When the cat told the other animals about the picture, they asked what it was. The cat explained that it was a wonderful piece of art. Then they asked about the mirror. The cat said, “It’s like a hole in the wall. When you look in it, you’ll see the beautiful picture.” This excited the animals and they wanted to see the picture. But the donkey (驴) didn’t believe the cat’s words. He decided to take a look at the picture himself. When he looked in the mirror, all he could see was a donkey. He quickly went back and told the others that the cat had lied. The lion was surprised, so he went to have a look too. But when he came back, he said there was a lion in the “hole”. The animals were quite confused (困惑的). One by one, they went to look at the picture. None of them could see it in the mirror, and they all said they could see a different animal instead. While the animals fought over who was lying, the cat shook his head and laughed. “You’re all missing the point!” he said. “The problem was where you were standing. When you stood right in front of the mirror, you blocked (挡住) the beautiful view behind you. All you could see was yourself!” 21. Why were the animals excited after hearing the cat’s words? A.
