The Brightest Star in the Sky
Yuan Longping is one of the most famous scientists.He regards himself as a farmer because he does his research in the fields.In fact，his sunburnt face and arms and his slim，strong body are just like those of millions of farmers.Dr.Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid （杂交性的） rice.In 1974，he became the first agricultural （农业的） pioneer in the word to grow rice hat has a high output（产量）.This special rice makes it possible to produce one﹣third more of the crop in the same fields.Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from the hybrid rice strain （品种，种类）.He was born in Beijing in 1930.Since he graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953，finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal.He searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding （扩大，增加） the area of the fields.
In a recent research，these increased harvests mean that 22% of the world's people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China.India，Vietnam and many other less developed countries have planted super hybrid rice to increase their rice harvests.
Unluckily，he died on May 22，2021.Though he was ill in bed，he still cared about his rice in the fields.He always said，"A man is just like a seed.Please be a good seed." Yuan works for the people not only in China but also around the world.He has become a hero and is remembered in everyone's heart forever.He is called "the brightest star in the sky" by his students.

Not getting enough sleep is bad for health.Depending on the research from the scientists，people who don't get enough sleep are less willing to socialize （社交） with others.They are simply too tired to go out.
The researchers did a small study.They tested 18 young people who had good sleep after a sleepless night.The participantswatched videos of people with neural （中性的） expressions walking towards them.When the person on the video got too "close" to them，they pushed a button to stop the video.
The participants kept the person at a distance of 60% further if they hadn't got enough sleep.They felt that their personal space was being invaded （侵占） .But when the participants got a good night's sleep，they allowed the person to get much closer to them.
The result shows that the less sleep you get，the less you want to socialize with others.In turn，other people may think you are strange and stay away from you.So if you want to be a more sociable （喜欢与人交往的） and popular person，sleeping well might help.

All about Electric Cars
Electric vehicles （电动车辆） have been around for more than a hundred years．But they have really been liked by a large number of people over the last ten years．More than three million all﹣electric cars，trucks，and vans are now on the road worldwide．
Helping the Environment
Most cars run on gasoline （汽油）．Burning gasoline and other fossil fuels（物燃料）produces greenhouse gases．Electric vehicles don't burn gasoline．Instead，strong batteries nun their electric engines．So，electric vehicles don't directly produce greenhouse gases．
Poop Power!
Electric vehicles are better for the environment． But they are not perfect． Their batteries often use electricity （电） that was made by burning fossil fuels． But an electric vehicle uses less energy than a vehicle that runs on gasoline． Plus， some of the electricity comes from "greener" sources，such as solar and wind power． And some may soon come from a new source﹣cow poop（牛粪）!
An electric car company has worked together with a large dairy farm． They plan to make electricity using a greenhouse gas from cow poop．
Always Improving
One of the problems for electric vehicles is their limited range． This is how far they can travel before their batteries need another charge （充电）． But now their range is improving． Some new electric vehicles can travel almost three times as far as older ones did． Another problem is finding a place to recharge the batteries． But the number of charging stations is going up as well， China now has thousands more charging stations than it did ten years ago． In Sweden， engineers have even designed a road that will charge electric vehicles as they drive along．
（1）Which of the following truly describes electric vehicles according to Paragraph 1？
A． Useless．
B． Popular．
C． Cheap．
D． Perfect．
（2）What does the picture above show？
A． Parts of an electric car．
B． Ways of driving a car．
C． Wheels on an electric car．
D． Batteries in an electric car．
（3）How does the electric car company plan to make electricity according to Paragraph 3？
A． By burning gasoline．
B． By burning fossil fuels．
C． By using a gas coming from cow poop．
D． By using solar and wind power．
（4）What is the last paragraph mainly about？
A． Reasons for buying new electric cars．
B． Importance of electric cars in our life．
C． Ways to produce more electric vehicles．
D． Problems and improvements of electric vehicles．

If we want to grow as people，we can't just depend on our own evaluation（评价）of how we're doing.We also need to know what other people think about our performance.Receiving feedback（反馈）from others can help us see the larger picture and show us a way forward to success.However，someone has to give that feedback，and sometimes，that someone will be you.How should you deal with this？
First things first-if you notice a situation in which some feedback would be helpful，give it as soon as you can.If you wait until the matter disappears from the person's mind，they might not understand what you're trying to tell them.Take the person to a safe，comfortable place and offer your advice in private.
When you're giving feedback，it's important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they're doing a bad job.Make sure you give an equal（相等的）amount of good feedback to balance out（平衡）anything bad.Like the saying goes， " A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."
All good feedback shares something in common.First，it should help achieve a goal.It's less useful to tell your friends that their dish tastes "interesting" than it is to suggest adding a little salt.Feedback should also look toward the future.You can't change what's already happened，but you can prevent it from happening again.Tell your friends they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big history exam they failed.
Finally，don't think your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation.You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback.Don't take it personally﹣﹣it can only help you give better advice next time.
（1）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph probably mean？
| A． |
Seeing the picture. |
| B． |
Giving feedback. |
| C． |
Receiving feedback. |
| D． |
Showing a way to success. |
（2）Why is it important to give feedback in time according to Paragraph 2？
| A． |
You might forget to tell the person later on. |
| B． |
Perhaps the person wants the feedback right away. |
| C． |
Maybe the person needs time to understand your advice. |
| D． |
If you wait to long，the person might forget what's happened. |
（3）What can we infer（推断）from the underlined saying in Paragraph 3？
| A． |
It's helpful to keep on giving bad feedback. |
| B． |
It's difficult to do a good job all the time. |
| C． |
It's better to balance good and bad feedback. |
| D． |
It's important to think twice before giving feedback. |
（4）The passage is mainly about .
| A． |
what characters good feedback includes |
| B． |
how people should give feedback properly |
| C． |
the differences between good and bad feedback |
| D． |
the importance of giving and receiving feedback |
I think there are several reasons that suggest developing robots is a waste of money．
In San Diego recently ＄ 325，000 was spent on inventing a robotic squirrel to do some scientific experiments． The research proved that squirrels are able to scare away snakes by wagging （摇动） their tails． Do you need a robotic squirrel to work this out？
What about AIBO，a robotic pet，developed in Japan？ In Japanese aibou means "buddy"． These pets have been developed at huge cost mainly to provide entertainment．They've been used in movies and music videos． Universities have used them for educational purposes．However， in 2006 the company stopped producing these robotic pets in order to save money． Was it worth a lot of money？
Then there's NAO， a robot which has been developed by a French company．Its main purpose is to make life easier for humans． It speaks 19 languages and has its own personality．It can tell children a story， help in the classroom or the home， or act as a companion to those people who need someone to be with．A fully developed one costs ﹩16，000． Is that value for money？ Who can afford it anyway？
There may be good reasons why it is worth developing robots， but so far I haven't thought of any．

Let me tell you about a young boy who made a model car all on his own．The boy is me，six years ago when I was just 11．The car was small and simple，but in my imagination it was a high﹣speed racing car，speeding along the race road．
It was during the school summer holidays and workmen were building a new driveway and garage（车库） beside our house．It meant to add something new to our home．When I watched the workman，I came up with an idea﹣﹣﹣I would build a car to drive into the garage in celebration of it．I told my mother and began with my plans．But I couldn't find the right things for making the car，so I gave up and sadly spent several days doing nothing．My mother noticed that I had stopped working and asked me why．I explained and she suggested that maybe I should change my plan to fit the things I had，rather than give up．
And that's just what I did．I found small pieces of wood in my father's workshop and made my car from anything that was lying around the house．When I found a small engine（发动机） from one of my old model planes，I added that．The power came from a battery（电池） I found in a box．
By the time the garage was finished，so was my car．I called my family together outside the house，started the engine and put the car on the driveway．It was fast，and I had to run to the garage to prevent it from hitting the new door．My family began to cheer and I smiled proudly．Thanks to my mother I learned the value of continuing to do things，especially something difficult．Soon I was making plans for my next project：a robot!

Last Saturday，I went to a coffee shop to meet a friend of mine.I got there ten minutes earlier.
So I ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window，watching people.There were some boys playing football on the street and a small boy was running after the ball as it rolled across the road.
