In December 2020， "the Super Apple" appeared at supermarkets across China，sweeter and juicier than usual ones，without pesticide residue（农药残留）.Before reaching the market，the products had been tested over 500 times.Blockchain（区块链） technology in recording farmers' actions is widely used to avoid nonstandard pesticide use.Digital technology at the apple storage helps to group apples，which can keep the stability（稳定性） in the quality. "The future of agriculture lies in the modern technology." Huang Jikun，Professor of the China Centre for Agricultural Policy at Peking University，told Beijing Review.
At China's Central Rural Work Conference in 2020，President Xi stressed that efforts must be made to increase the quality of agriculture.Xi also pointed out the importance of speeding up technologies.
China's agriculture has entered a stage of high﹣quality development，as the country is meeting people's increasing need for high standard products.So agriculture should turn to technology.
Three years ago，Yuan Longping led a program of planting rice in saline﹣alkali（盐碱） soil in areas，including Xinjiang and Heilongjiang.Through hybrid technology，Yuan's team have been able to raise improved rice for saline and alkaline soils.If China could put 6.67 million hectares of saline﹣alkali soil into rice production，it would be very likely to increase by around 30 million tons，a huge contribution to the country.
In Lushui，Yunnan Province，one can rarely see farmers working on the farm.All common tasks are completed automatically（自动化地）.Data（数据） is gathered by the system to improve future production.
"More information and technology centres will be built so that basic data and big data can be improved，and technologies like 5 G and the BeiDou Satellite Navigation System can be used in the field."said Han Fujun，Deputy Chief Engineer of the Information Center of MARA.
Since 2010，the Chinese government has been organizing technology exchanges，training，field trips and other activities for the agricultural technology talents to better understand the situations of each area.
Because of the COVID﹣19，companies begin to rethink better agricultural models，as more people want to eat healthier foods.Science and technology will play a more important role in the future.

In classroom, your teachers will talk about topics that you are studying. The information they provide will be important for you to know when you take tests. So you must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say.
Here are the three stages(阶段) of taking notes and what you should do during each stage.
1. Before Class
Review your notes you have taken before you come to class. This will be good for remembering what was covered. Get you ready to understand new information your teacher will provide.
2. During Class
Keep your attention on what your teacher is saying and “the signal words” that tell you what your teacher is going to say and it is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal words are “The most important point…” and “Remember that…”. Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviations such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences.
3. After Class
Rewrite your notes to make them more complete and accurate(准确的) by changing abbreviations into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences. Use them to answer your questions. If necessary, ask your teacher for help.

Do you see many signs around you? Do you know the signs are an important part of our daily life? They can be in pictures or in words to give people information. What do people think are good signs? If you are thinking about making signs for others, what should you know?
The most important thing is that signs should be simple and easy to understand. It is important to use clear language. On the other hand, the words should be easy to write and you just need to write down what you want to do. “Keep off the grass” is a very good example. It means “Don’t touch or walk on the grass”.
Nowadays, there is a saying that “A picture paints a thousand words”. Perhaps that’s why we are seeing more and more signs in pictures, or a combination of pictures and words. However, that’s the difficult part, because picture signs may have different meanings in different countries. First, a good sign should be ____.
| A．clear | B．beautiful | C．funny | D．interesting |
The writer uses “A picture paints a thousand words” to show that ____.
| A．a word sign is as easy as a picture sign to make |
| B．a picture sign often has more information than a word sign |
| C．a word sign has more information than a picture sign |
| D．a word sign and a picture sign have the same information |
What does the underlined word “combination” mean?
| A．分开 | B．结合 | C．并列 | D．平行 |
What’s the best title of the passage?
| A．Word Signs | B．Picture Signs |
| C．The History of Signs | D．Signs Are Important |
We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration (迁移) is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently (近来), scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _______.
| A．give birth | B．find food more easily |
| C．enjoy warmer weather | D．find beautiful places |
The mice in northern Europe move when _______.
| A．they give birth |
| B．they haven’t enough food |
| C．the weather is bad |
| D．the place gets too crowded |
What is the main idea of the passage?
| A．Animals move to find food more easily. |
| B．The migration of the fish called “salmon” is the most famous migration. |
| C．Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but sometimes we don’t. |
| D．Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel. |

It’s hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with other people. It’s easier to make friends when you have the same interests.
Don’t be afraid to show people what you are really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.
Look at people in the eyes when you talk to them. That way, they will find it easier to talk to you. If don’t, people may think you are not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.
Listen carefully. Let people talk about themselves before talking about ‘me, me, me’. Ask lots of questions. Show interest in their answers.
Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like — not just with those who are easy to meet. Be friendly to a lot of people. If so, more people will choose to make friends with you.
