Reading with a Little Helper In a small village in Zhejiang, there is a primary school. Many students there love reading, but the school library is small and there are not many books. Last year, something new came to the school: tablet computers. Now the students can read thousands of stories on the tablets. There is also a special helper on the tablet. Her name is “Qian Xiaowa”. She is an AI assistant (人工智能助手). When students meet a new word, they can ask her. She tells them what the word means and how to use it. If a student does not understand a story, Qian Xiaowa can explain it in easy words. Wang Lin is a Grade 6 student. “I used to think reading was hard,” she says. “But now I can read a whole story by myself. My favourite story is about a brave girl.” The teacher, Mr Chen, is happy with the change. “The tablets do not take the place of teachers,” he says. “They give our students more chances to read. That is what we need.” 30. What did the school get last year? A. More books. B.A new library. C. Tablet computers. D. A big playground. 31. What can Qian Xiaowa do? A. Draw pictures. B. Explain new words. C. Write stories. D. Play games. 32. What does the underlined word “chances” probably mean? A. Good times to do something. B. Difficult problems. C. New rules. D. Different ways of reading. 33. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Small Village School B. A Brave Girl's Story C. How to Use a Tablet D. Reading with an AI Helper Numbers Tell a Story Numbers are everywhere, and they can tell us interesting stories. Every year, a group of researchers (研究者) ask thousands of Chinese people about their reading habits. Their report came out in April 2026. Here are some numbers from it. Chinese adults (成年人) read about 4.8 paper books in 2025. That is a little more than the year before. But many people say they are too busy to read. Young people read in different ways. About 78% of them read on mobile phones. They spend about 30 minutes a day on digital reading. Some of them read news, and some read stories. The report also found something surprising. People who read every day are happier than those who seldom read. Reading helps people relax and learn new things. “Our lives are full of numbers,” says one researcher. “But numbers are not just for maths. They can show us how we live and what we care about.” 34. How many paper books did Chinese adults read in 2025? A. About 3.8. B. About 4.8. C. About 30. D. About 78. 35. How do about 78% of young people read? A. On mobile phones. B. In libraries. C.

What does the last paragraph tell us? A. Numbers are only for maths. B. Numbers can show how we live. C. Researchers like reading. D. Young people read too much. A Robot in the Classroom What if your lab partner is a robot? In some Chinese schools, this is not a dream any more. Last month, a middle school in Shenzhen got a new “student”. It is a teaching robot called “Xiao Ke”. It is about 1.2 metres tall and has two arms. It can walk, talk and even do simple experiments. In a science class, Xiao Ke helped students do an experiment about water. It told the students the steps and showed them how to use the tools. When a student made a mistake, the robot said, “Don't worry. Let's try again.” The robot was made by a company in Shenzhen. It took the team three years to build it. “We want to make science lessons more interesting,” said the head of the team. “The robot is not here to take the place of teachers. It is here to help.” Students like the new partner. “I was afraid of science before,” says Li Wei, a Grade 8 student. “But now I think it is fun. I want to build my own robot one day.” 38. What is Xiao Ke? A. A student. B. A teacher. C. A robot. D. A computer game. 39. How tall is Xiao Ke? A. About 1.2 metres. B. About 2.1 metres. C. About 3 metres. D. About 12 metres. 40. How long did the team spend building the robot? A. One year. B. Two years. C. Three years. D. Four years. 41. What can we learn from Li Wei's words? A. Science is difficult for him. B.

In April 2026, a report about Chinese people's reading habits came out. It found that more than 78% of young people read on mobile phones. But reading on a small screen for a long time is not good for their eyes. Some schools have found a good way. In Zhejiang, a village school gave each student a tablet. With the help of an AI assistant, students can read thousands of stories. “Before, we only had a few books,” says a teacher. “Now our students read much more.” Reading is important for everyone. It helps us learn new words, understand other people and see a bigger world. But how we read is also important. Choose a good place with enough light, and take a break every thirty minutes. “Reading is not a race,” says one teacher. “It is a journey. Enjoy it.” 66.
