Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi'an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code(二维码). "We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate the codes, and in the end everything gets easier," said Guo. "When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their homework anywhere using my computer or cellphone."
The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans his students' QR codes, their homework appears on his cellphone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.
Guo's students like the new way and think it is interesting. "We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun," said Tingting, a student of Guo's.
"The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share," Guo said. "It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don't want my students to fall behind the times."
However, some parents are worried. They are frightened that their children will spend too much time surfing the Internet and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it's unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the codes when they hand in their homework, which doesn't take up too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students' homework at any time. And it's also an easy way to share homework with other students.
28. What makes Mr. Guo special as a teacher
A. He doesn't give students homework after his class.
B. He asks his students to hand in homework in a new way.
C. He gives his students much creative homework after class.
D. He teaches on WeChat, instead of in the traditional classroom.
29. _____ can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat.
A. The QR codes B. The homework
C. The examination results D. The teachings
30. How do the students do their homework now
A. More quickly. B. More honestly.
C. More creatively. D. More easily.
31. The writer thinks the new way _____.
A. is not really necessary B. has more disadvantages
C. does not work well for teachers D. will benefit both teachers and students
D
Life has gone mostly online for many people around the world. With more people going online during the COVID-19 pandemic, global Internet traffic has become a big problem. Between January and late March, many major cities experienced an increase in Internet traffic.
Video meetings, online classrooms and stay-at-home entertainment have become a daily routine. This increase in traffic is testing the Internet' s strength. In March, People were not able to take calls, receive texts or use mobile data in the UK . In the US, major telecommunications companies like AT&T said traffic was up 21 percent month over month. Video streaming services like You Tube, Netflix and Facebook have cut their picture qualities and download speeds. This is being done to reduce network traffic jams.
China has seen an Internet traffic increase of around 50 percent compared to the end of 2019. The country's network speeds went down sharply in early February. However, they returned to normal soon afterwards and have been working well. This is due to China’s work in building network infrastructure(基础设施), especially 5G technology. By the end of February, 164,000 5G base stations had been built nationwide. This has given Chinese networks the power to handle increased traffic.
“If there were no such development in the Internet network field. people could hardly enjoy such a colorful life at home. Online working and teaching could never be realized so smoothly," said Wen Kun, an official with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
32. What happened to the Internet due to COVID-19
A. Internet traffic was jammed. B. Internet access was cut off.
C. Internet service was ignored. D. Internet community was ruined.
33. Why did some US companies cut download speeds

C. To avoid Internet breakdown. D. To reduce the number of users.
pared with other countries. China's Internet system_________.
A. suffered bigger losses B. recovered faster
C. cost less money D. started earlier
35. What is Wen Kun's attitude towards China's Internet network
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Critical. D. Positive.

A MOTHER'S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother's Day. How pleased and proud mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

Dear Smith.
How is everything going Glad to receive your email in which you have mentioned the desire to learn more about Chinese Mid- Autumn Festival for your Chinese Culture Competition.
Actually it is a very traditional festival for Chinese, which dates back to early Tang Dynasty. It falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. Traditionally, on this day, farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season. And now it's really a good chance for family union. Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes together.
This is all I know about the festival, hoping it will be of some help. Good luck to you!
Yourssincerely
Li Hua

“Don’t panic!” he handed each one a wet towel, helping them clean the mess quickly. After that, Jeff stammered out their plan, his face flushing. However, Father laughed, “Sounds great! I can teach you to cook.” At this, Jenna and Jeff almost jumped to their feet, joy in eyes. Under his careful guidance, it didn’t take long before the French toast and chicken porridge were ready. Everything settled ,Father left the kitchen, promising to keep their secret.
Paragraph 2:
The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up.
Meeting their smiling eyes, Mother felt confused until they presented the breakfast and said “Happy mother’s day”. Mother gave them a tight hug, “Unbelievable! You can cook! It’s the biggest surprise I have received.” Her face lit up with happiness. “They have known how to take care of others.” Father said in response to mom’s excitement, winking at Jenna and Jeff. They couldn’t help giggling. It was a secret only shared between them.
