When the young donkey Daisy May came to us，she was pregnant. With no donkey experience. I was unprepared for what might come next.

Chinese volleyball superstar Zhu Ting has inspired a new English word. "Stay awesome and ZHUperb!" wrote a blogger at a US-based volleyball website. The word combines "Zhu" and "superb (卓越的)", to describe the 27-year-old player.
Zhu's excellent scoring performances put her among the Top 10 Global Outstanding Athletes for this year's Heracles Prize of the Big Ben Award. As the captain, Zhu "created the new golden age of women's volleyball in China", the award said. Zhu is considered a national hero by many in China, with good reason. Before this year's World Cup victory, she helped the national volleyball team win the 2015 FIVB World Cup, the 2015 Asian Women's Volleyball Championship, and the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
Although she's a superstar now, it hasn't been easy for Zhu to get to where she is. Born to a farming family in Henan province, Zhu earned a chance to attend a local sports school at age 13. She became well known to the public by helping China's U20 team win the 2013 FIVB U20 World Championship. Shortly after, Zhu joined the national team and began playing under legendary coach Lang Ping.
At first, the 1. 98-meter-tall Zhu found it difficult to move quickly and stay balanced. But Lang Ping took advantage of her height and trained her to jump high and smash balls. Her work paid off. Zhu is now an outstanding player. "Hard work and talent are equally important. I'll move forward step by step," she told People's Daily.
28. Why was "ZHUperb" created
A. To create a new game. B. To introduce a volleyball website.

B. To build up her confidence.
C. To train her to be the captain of the team.
D. To instruct her to move forward step by step.

Nao, the first robot able to show feelings, has been created by a European research team. When Nao is sad, he lowers his head and looks down. When he’s happy, he raises his arms for a hug. Nothing is out of the ordinary, except that Nao is a robot.
“We’re modeling the first years of life,” says Lola Canamero, a computer scientist at the University of Hertforshire. “The feelings are shown through physical gestures and body movements rather than facial or verbal(言语的) expressions.”
In the future, says the scientist, robots are likely to act as companions, provide support for old people, and help people shop online. In such uses, the display of feeling will be important in making the interactions(交往) more natural and comfortable.
Nao has been programmed to copy the emotional skills of a one-year-old child. It can memorize faces, and knows the basic rules of good and bad. Based on these it can decide how to react to what is going on. The actions going with each feeling are pre-programmed, but Nao decides for itself when to display them.
Nao is also programmed to have different personalities. A more independent robot is less likely to call for help when exploring a room, while a more fearful robot will show distress if it finds something in the room that may be harmful.
Canamero’s team will take its emotional programming forward into medical applications. Part of the project will look at ways to use robots in hospitals to support the roles of doctors,nurses and parents. Children might find that a small, friendly-looking robot that can understand their emotional states makes them less anxious. “We want to explore different roles—the robots will help the children to understand their treatment and explain what they have to do. We want to help the children to control their anxiety.” she says.
32. What can we learn from the text
A. Scientists worked on facial and spoken expressions to create Nao’s emotions.
B. The time when Nao displays feelings has been pre-programmed.
C. Emotional programming is used in medicine production.
D. Robots with emotional skills can help children feel more comfortable.
33. According to the text, Nao_______.
A. displays different feelings in different situations
B. is able to imitate adult emotional displays
C. can remember people’s feelings
D. learns emotions from facial expressions
34. What does the underlined word “distress” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Courage. B. Anxiety.
C. Anger. D. Satisfaction.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The relationship between humans and robots.
B. The roles that robots play in different fields.
C.The first robot able to show feelings.
D. The long history of robots.

We all know that honesty is an important value and that lying is wrong，but who can
56 (honest) say that they’ve never told a lie Perhaps we comfort ourselves with the knowledge that most of the lies we tell are “white lies”：little lies that we tell 57 ( protect) others from the truth.
One of the main reasons for telling a white lie is to try to make others feel 58 (good). However，when we lie and say that someone’s haircut looks good， 59 when we say that we love a meal that we secretly hate， 60 (be)we really hoping to improve the situation for someone else Perhaps we are in fact lying to protect ourselves from the disappointment and 61 (angry )of others.
Another reason for telling a white lie is to give encouragement. Say for example that your friend asks you 62 you think of his singing. You of course say that it’s wonderful，despite secretly 63 (think) that your cat can sing better. Stop for a moment and consider that perhaps your friend 64 (want) some frank comments from you so that they can improve. Or perhaps，they need to know that they should look 65 a different hobby.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to sign up for the selection of little envoys of cultural exchange to promote the communication with foreign schools.
Above all, I have traveled to Europe twice for summer camps before, which helped me experience foreign cultures and look at things from different perspectives. Actually, I am chairman of Student Union, so I will be the right person to share Chinese school culture with foreigners,such as student clubs and school activities.
If you need to contact me, please call 6513099. I believe that the chance can broaden my horizon and make me grow in many ways. Thank you!
Yours,
Li Hua
