A Chinese carpenter's traditional skills have become an unexpected Internet hit as he creates woodwork with a single piece of wood,without glue,screws or nails.Wang Dewen,known as“Grandpa Amu”on YouTube, has been praised as the modern day Lu Ban,a well-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty,thanks to his rich carpentry(木工手艺)knowledge.
Grandpa Amu's most popular video,which shows him making a delicate wooden arch bridge,has gone viral on YouTube,gaining more than 40 million views.“If you do something,you have to love it,and you have to be interested in it; however, being interested doesn't mean there's only happiness and no pain.”Grandpa Amu shared when talking about his excellent carpentry skills.
His most popular works include a folding stool,a model of the China pavilion from the 2010Shanghai Expo,and an apple-shaped interlocking puzzle,known as a Lu Ban lock.Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon(榫卯)technique,which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge.
The master carpenter has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique.His young grandson's favorites include a walking Peppa Pig and a bubble blowing machine.Attracting over 1.17 million fans on YouTube,Grandpa Amu's videos so far have gained more than 200 million views.
His wonderful woodworking skills,using the same mortise and tenon joints found in the Forbidden City, were developed from the age of thirteen as a way of supporting his family in East China's Shandong Provincc.“The grandson is so happy,as there have been so many fine and unique toys made by grandpa from an early age,”commented one netizen; while another said “It's amazing.I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on!”
24.Why is Grandpa Amu regarded as the modern day Lu Ban
A.For his simple words. B.For his popular videos.
C.For his carpentry skills. D.For his excellent arch bridge.

Almost everyone stood when the bride walked down the aisle in her white gown,but not the wedding conductor,because she was fixed to her chair.
The nuptial at this ceremony was led by“I-Fairy”,a 4-foot(about1.2-meter)tall seated robot with flashing eyes and plastic pigtails(辫子).Sunday's wedding was the first time that a marriage had been led by a robot,according to manufacturer Kokoro Co.
“Please lift the bride's veil(面纱),”the robot said in a tinny voice,waving its arms in the air as the newlyweds kissed in front of guests.
The wedding took place at a restaurant in Hibiya Park in central Tokyo,where the I-Fairy wore a wreath of flowers and directed a rooftop ceremony.Wires led out from beneath it to a black curtain a few feet away, where a man clicked commands into a computer.
Japan has one of the most advanced robotics industries in the world,with the government actively supporting the field for future growth.Industrial models in factories are now standard,but recently Japanese companies are making a push to inject robots into everyday life.
Honda makes walking child-shaped robots,and other firms have developed them to entertain the elderly or play baseball. Kokoro,whose corporate goal is to“touch the hearts of the people”,also makes giant dinosaur robots for exhibitions and lifelike android models that can smile and laugh.The company is a subsidiary( 附属公司)of Sanrio Co.,which owns the rights to Hello Kitty and other Japanese characters.
“There is a lot of fun.I think that Japanese have a strong sense that robots are our friends.Those in the robot industry mostly understand this,but people mainly want robots near them to serve some purpose,”said bride Satoko Inoue,36,who works at manufacturer Kokoro Co.
The I-Fairy sells for about $57,000 and three are in use in Singapore,the U.S.and Japan,according to company spokeswoman Kayako Kido.
28.Which word can best replace the underlined word “nuptial”in Paragraph 2
A.conductor B.bride C.wedding D.robot
29.Which thing cannot be carried out by the robots in Japan according to this passage
A.entertain senior citizens B.play baseball
C. laugh D.look after children
30.What can we learn from what Satoko Inoue said
A.People need robots that can help them in some ways.
B.It's very interesting to work with a robot in her company.
C.Japanese consider a robot can do many things like their friends.
D.A robot has been widely used to serve people in Japan.
31.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A.Wedding Customs in Japan
B.The Development of Robots
C.All Kinds of Robots in Japan
D.I-Fairy:A Robot Conducts Wedding in Tokyo
D
Lego is considering a brick(积木)rental plan in an attempt to cut down on plastic waste.The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable(可持续的)materials by 2030 and is investing significant resources in finding alternatives.
Tim Brooks,vice-president responsible for sustainability,said the company was“totally open”to the idea of the product rental plan but admitted that lost pieces could produce a significant problem.“What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again ”Mr.Brooks added.
“There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done.We are right at the beginning.”Mr.Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to producing the highest value from products while consuming the fewest resources.He said many would“probably never see the light of day”and that there is no current plan to try out the rental plan.
Lego has come under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint for growing international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment.It produces 19 billion pieces per year—36,000 a minute—that are made entirely of plastic while much of the inside packaging is also plastic.
So far,the only breakthrough has been the development of a line of bricks made of plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane.The green trees,plants and flowers were first included in Lego sets late last year but currently make up only 1%— 2% of total plastic elements produced.Henrik Nielson,a production supervisor(主管)in Lego's factory,said last year:“We need to learn again how to do this.”
Lego reportedly releases around a million tons of carbon dioxide each year,with about 75% coming from raw materials that go into factories.The company has invested more than 100,000,000 euros and hired 100 people to research non-plastic alternatives.It is aiming to keep all of its packaging out of landfill by 2025.
32.What is Lego making great efforts for
A.promote its brick rental plan B.explore ways to reduce plastic waste
C.raise its production efficiency D.develop new products
33.What does Mr.Brooks think about Lego's brick rental plan
A.It is well under way. B.It is totally useless.
C.It has a long way to go. D.It goes against Lego's interests.
34.How does the writer tell of Lego's stress of reducing plastic waste
A. By means of comparison. B.By means of examples.
C .By means of figures. D.By means of classification.
35.What is Lego's attitude toward developing non-plastic alternatives
A.Defensive. B.Doubtful. C.Disapproving. D.Determined.

Dear Jim,
Knowing you are conducting a survey of the housework that high school students do at home, I’m writing to tell you about what I do.(首句学会模仿)
Although my school schedule is rather tight, I still manage to help with the housework from time to time. I will clean up after dinner. I also help with other things like sweeping and dusting. Every once in a while, I will cook something for my family. So far, my spaghetti has been the most delicious dish.
I think high school students should do some housework. For one thing, by doing housework we learn to take responsibility at home, and in the longer term, in society. For another, I find the time spent doing housework with my parents really fun and rewarding; we chat with each other and sometimes even sing together. Doing housework can be a great break from my busy school work.
Good luck with your survey.
Yours,
Li Hua

M: We at the Countryside Club love the outdoors and we want young people to love it, too. That’s why, once again, we are holding a writing competition. Last year, we asked children to write about their favorite animal from the British countryside. This year, the subject is different. We want you to write about your favorite place in Britain. It could be a beach, a forest, a park or a mountain. But it must be outdoors. You can’t write about your bedroom! So, if you’re between the ages of eight and fifteen, start writing! Last year, you had to be less than 12 years old, but we decided to change it this year. You must write between 200 and 400 words. The best ones will appear in our Countryside magazine. The winners will also get a free family ticket to London Zoo. If you want to enter, please send your entry to 25 Black Street, Portland — that’s 25 Black Street, Portland. Your entry must arrive before the 14th October. We look forward to reading your entries.
