Katie Steller has her own salon(美发院). She often wheels her red chair and scissors around the city to give free haircuts.
Edward was her first lucky customer. He looked to be in his 60s. He was balding and missing a few teeth. While she was cutting his greying hair, he told her about moving closer to his adult children.
Till now, Steller has offered about 30 such haircuts. These people are all living a hard time, and she is aware of the power of her cleanup job.
"It s more than a haircut," she says. "I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships."
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. As a teen, she had a very serious disease and her hair thinned terribly. Her mother took Steller for her first professional haircut.
"To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone," she says.
After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she d felt that day. In 2019, she began her Red Chair Project.
She says, "I can t fix their problems with free haircuts, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment."
Early this year she started the Steller Kindness Project, in which people who do acts of kindness (volunteering for snowstorm relief, helping neighbors in need) are invited for a free haircut at Steller s salon. In exchange, they tell their stories, which Steller shares on her website. Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will spread their own.
So far Steller has had people reach out from around the country.
34.Why did Steller start her Red Chair Project
A. To help her neighbors in need.
B. To attract customers to her salon.
C. To help the lonely people feel less alone.
D. To invite customers to tell their kind acts.
35.What does Steller mean by the sentence "It s more than a haircut" in Paragraph 4
A. A haircut can fix people s problems.
B. A haircut is what people need most.
C. Haircut stories are well reviewed on her website.
D. A haircut is a simple act to show care, value and respect.
36.Which sentence best expresses the theme of the story

Do you know anything about artificial intelligence（AI人工智能） AI can help us make phone calls, find the place we want to go and play games. And now, AI can do even more things.
Researchers have created the first translation system which makes sure you ll have no difficulty in communicating in a foreign country.
The system, called the Pioneer, will enter the market. When set in an earbud（耳塞）, it fits comfortably in the ear. A pair of earpieces（听筒）is needed, one for each user. When the speaker talks, the Pioneer in the ear picks up the sound. And then the sound goes through the translation system that changes it into text in the listener s language. Then, the text is translated into a spoken form, and at last the Pioneer “whispers” it back to the listener in his or her language. As a result, the listener can understand the other person even though he or she doesn t know the speaker s language at all.
But how can the Pioneer make sure the translation is correct Researchers tried many ways to improve the system s translation abilities.
In one method, the system translates every sentence from Language A to Language B, and translates the sentence back from Language B into Language A. This way, the system can improve itself and learn from its own mistakes.
Another way needs the system to repeat the process of translating the same sentence over and over again. This takes about three months and then the system can improve the ability of its translation.
37.About the things AI can help people do now, the following is mentioned EXCEPT for ______.
A. making phone calls B. finding the place C. shopping online D. playing games
38.Which shows the way the Pioneer works when a Frenchman is talking to a Chinese
A. French spoken language→French text→Chinese spoken language
B. French spoken language→Chinese text→Chinese spoken language
C. Chinese spoken language→French text→French spoken language
D. Chinese spoken language→Chinese text→French spoken language
39.If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best
(①= Para. 1 ②= Para. 2 ③= Para. 3 ④= Para. 4 ⑤= Para. 5 ⑥= Para. 6)
A. ①②; ③④; ⑤⑥ B. ①②; ③; ④⑤⑥
C. ①; ②③; ④⑤⑥ D. ①; ②③④; ⑤⑥
40.What s the main idea of this passage
A. What artificial intelligence can do for us.
B. How the artificial intelligence translation system was developed.
C. What researchers created the first translation system for.
D. How sentences are translated from Language A to Language B.

You have to shake hands when you re coming or leaving in Germany, but in Britain you should only shake hands when you meet someone for the first time. You have to give your present in public in the Middle East to show it s not a bribe（贿赂）, but it s good manners to give your present in private（私下）in Asia. You mustn t give cutlery（餐具）in Latin America because it suggests that you want to cut off the relationship. You mustn t give food or drink in Saudi Arabia because it suggests you think your hosts aren t offering you enough to eat or drink.
You mustn t give a clock in China because the Chinese word for clock is similar to the word for funeral（葬礼）. “Come any time” means “I want you to visit me” in India. If you don t suggest a time and arrange a visit immediately, Indians will think you are refusing the invitation. But if an English person says “come any time”, they will think you are bad-mannered if you start fixing a date. Offices are usually closed on Fridays in Moslem countries. Americans usually mean “Yes” when they nod their heads. An English person probably just means “I understand”, and an Asian is just showing interest. It s bad manners to discuss business at a social occasion in India. In an English pub, you have to take your turn to buy a “round” drink for everyone in your group.
71.In which country, people usually don t shake hands when they meet again

Let s start with the things around us!
Recently, the “Clean Plate Campaign” has been very popular with many people. Our government is doing its best to build an economized society.
As a middle school student, I think we should join in the campaign. We can start with the things around us. Firstly, we should make sure that the lights are turned off when we finish our work and leave the room. Secondly, we can save as much paper as possible. Thirdly, it is important for us to have the habit of turning off the tap after using it. What s more, we must not spend money buying unnecessary things. When we eat, we d better not use one-off chopsticks and we mustn t waste food.
In a word, saving energy is very important. Let s work together from now on!

Do you know anything about artificial intelligence（AI人工智能） AI can help us make phone calls, find the place we want to go and play games. And now, AI can do even more things.
Researchers have created the first translation system which makes sure you ll have no difficulty in communicating in a foreign country.
The system, called the Pioneer, will enter the market. When set in an earbud（耳塞）, it fits comfortably in the ear. A pair of earpieces（听筒）is needed, one for each user. When the speaker talks, the Pioneer in the ear picks up the sound. And then the sound goes through the translation system that changes it into text in the listener s language. Then, the text is translated into a spoken form, and at last the Pioneer “whispers” it back to the listener in his or her language. As a result, the listener can understand the other person even though he or she doesn t know the speaker s language at all.
But how can the Pioneer make sure the translation is correct Researchers tried many ways to improve the system s translation abilities.
In one method, the system translates every sentence from Language A to Language B, and translates the sentence back from Language B into Language A. This way, the system can improve itself and learn from its own mistakes.
Another way needs the system to repeat the process of translating the same sentence over and over again. This takes about three months and then the system can improve the ability of its translation.
37.About the things AI can help people do now, the following is mentioned EXCEPT for ______.
A. making phone calls B. finding the place C. shopping online D. playing games
38.Which shows the way the Pioneer works when a Frenchman is talking to a Chinese

C. Chinese spoken language→French text→French spoken language
D. Chinese spoken language→Chinese text→French spoken language

You have to shake hands when you re coming or leaving in Germany, but in Britain you should only shake hands when you meet someone for the first time. You have to give your present in public in the Middle East to show it s not a bribe（贿赂）, but it s good manners to give your present in private（私下）in Asia. You mustn t give cutlery（餐具）in Latin America because it suggests that you want to cut off the relationship. You mustn t give food or drink in Saudi Arabia because it suggests you think your hosts aren t offering you enough to eat or drink.
You mustn t give a clock in China because the Chinese word for clock is similar to the word for funeral（葬礼）. “Come any time” means “I want you to visit me” in India. If you don t suggest a time and arrange a visit immediately, Indians will think you are refusing the invitation. But if an English person says “come any time”, they will think you are bad-mannered if you start fixing a date. Offices are usually closed on Fridays in Moslem countries. Americans usually mean “Yes” when they nod their heads. An English person probably just means “I understand”, and an Asian is just showing interest. It s bad manners to discuss business at a social occasion in India. In an English pub, you have to take your turn to buy a “round” drink for everyone in your group.

Let s start with the things around us!
Recently, the “Clean Plate Campaign” has been very popular with many people. Our government is doing its best to build an economized society.
As a middle school student, I think we should join in the campaign. We can start with the things around us. Firstly, we should make sure that the lights are turned off when we finish our work and leave the room. Secondly, we can save as much paper as possible. Thirdly, it is important for us to have the habit of turning off the tap after using it. What s more, we must not spend money buying unnecessary things. When we eat, we d better not use one-off chopsticks and we mustn t waste food.
In a word, saving energy is very important. Let s work together from now on!
