The face﹣down generation(一代)

    If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh﹣ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, world﹣wide, and no doubt smart. Maybe good﹣looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?

    Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the "face﹣down generation" because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.

    Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt(溺爱)and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents". They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after﹣school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.

    Does the face﹣down generation need a heads﹣up? Well, probably not. The fact.is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.

    So if you're one of the oh﹣ohs, there's reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face﹣down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.

(1)If Alice was born in 2004, is she an oh﹣oh?  

(2)Why do some adults think of the oh﹣ohs as the "face﹣down generation"?  

(3)What are the parents called who always guide and plan everything for their children?  

(4)How does the writer organize Paragraph 4?  

A. Time order.

B. Space order.

C. General to specific.

D. Specific to general.

Artificial intelligence(人工智能),or AI in short, is the science of giving computers and machines ability to think and work like humans. AI scientists and engineers have made a lot of cool technologies.

     AI is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. As a result, facial recognition (识别)is used a lot in the world. Chinese police use this technology to identify criminals(罪犯). Once they caught a criminal when he attended a concert. It also checks the ID of ride﹣hailing(网约车)drivers and lets people pay for things with a smile.

A rapidly flashing light tells passers﹣by that the car is about to speed up

The natural world is colorful with humans,plants and animals showing different colors.

    Human skin can be many different colors and it changes.with the sun,our feelings or our health for example.This is because of pigments(色素),which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors.So,when we feel excited or angry,our heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red.This is why we have the expression that someone. "sees red"when they are angry.

    Plants also have pigments.Color is important for them to live on.The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects(昆虫),which then carry their pollen(花粉)from one flower to another.Bees can see colors we cannot,and they follow these to the inside of the flower.Without bees visiting flowers in this way,many plants would die out.

    Animals also use color for their own need.They protect themselves with different colors so as not to be seen by predators.The snowshoe hare for example,a type of wild rabbit,changes color with seasons for this reason.During summer it is a brown color,and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow.However,some animals use color as a warning to make predators stay away.Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way.Nature,however,is very clever,and predators also use colors to attract(吸引)the animals they feed on..

Historically,most cars have run on gasoline(汽油),but that may change in the future:cars can also run on other liquid fuels(液体燃料)and electricity.

Gasoline is from oil.The energy in gasoline comes from hydrocarbons(碳氢化合物).Gasoline provides great power for cars.However,it causes environmental problems,like air pollution and temperature rise.So gasoline can't be the best fuel.

Another choice is electricity.Electricity cars can be as efficient(效能好的)as cars using gasoline,And they produce less pollution.But electric cars themselves are more expensive.Good news is that the cost has been lower and there are more and more places for the cars to get electricity ever since 2010.

The other choices are other liquid fuels.Many of these can be stored in the same places as gasoline,and used in the same cars.They can also be friendly to the environment.

One way to make such fuels is to get CO 2from the air and put it in water.Through chemical reaction,hydrocarbons can be created.However,these fuels take up more space.

Another way is to make such fuels from plants which take in carbon from the air.These fuels are greener in use.But not all of them can be as efficient as gasoline.

For a fuel to be the best,people have to be able to afford it.Unluckily,almost every green technology is more expensive than that of using gasoline.Governments and car producers are doing everything they car to cut down the costs.In the end,the best fuel will be both affordable for car users and green for our planet.

The first emperor of China,Qin Shihuang,completed a huge number of projects during his rule.Between 221 and 210 B.C.,he started the building of the Great Wall.The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life﹣sized terracotta soldiers(士兵).These,he hoped,would protect his tomb after his death.

    Lost in Time

    The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown,but they weren't always.They began as an army of red,blue,yellow,green,white,and purple.Sadly,most of the colors did not last to the present day.After being exposed(暴露)to air during digging,the coating under the paint began to fall off.The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg,taking away with it important pieces of history.

    New Technology

    Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors.Archeologists(考古学家)have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.Many of these still have their painted features,including black hair,pink faces,and black or brown eyes.Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid(液体)to help save the soldiers' colors.After finding a soldier or another art piece,archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.

    Back to Life

    Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers.It's important not to do anything with the dirt,so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece, "says Rong Bo,the museum's leading archeologist.The next challenge,says Rong Bo,is to find a way to use the colors onto the army﹣again.Once that happens,artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full,bright colors.

(1)What is the passage mainly about?    

A.The death of Emperor Qin Shihuang.

C.The true colors of the terracotta soldiers.

D.How the soldiers lived during Qin Dynasty.

(2)What does the underlined word "They" in the passage refer to?    

A.Archeologists.

B.Artists.

D.Soldier.

(3)Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree?
