In the field of educational technology, some apps might be getting too smart. There are more and more apps providing help for students.
Photomath
The new, seemingly magic app allows users to take pictures of a math problem, and then receive a step-by-step solution. A Photomath spokeswoman says educators have welcomed the app with positive reviews, but the app causes a lot of angry public discussion and disagreement. Why It is because students can use it to cheat when doing their math homework.
Price: Free

On Monday, a scientist and doctor Robert Winston is to formally ask a question in congress about what assessments the government has made “for requiring adults riding bicycles in city centres to heave a licence and third-party insurance”. The letter below is the entirely imagined response I would like the government to make to him.
Dear Robert,
You ask what assessments we’ve made for your proposal about obliging cyclists to have licences and insurance. The brief answer is: none. Nor do we have any plans to do so.
Why Again, the short answer is this: it’s a silly and pointless thing to suggest, as evidenced by the fact that practically no countries or territories anywhere in the world require cyclists to be licensed, or to have compulsory insurance.
I suppose it’s only fair if I explain why I think it is such a non-issue. It’s pretty simple: such a plan would achieve pretty much nothing, while causing significant problems. More widely, any sensible governments will do everything in their power to get more people cycling, not to put pointless obstacles in their way.
Let’s just take one example. As I’m sure you know as a doctor, one of the problems facing our nation is that the National Health System is likely to collapse under the caring for an increasingly overweight population. Inactive living is central to this. Even a fairly brief daily bike trip can have miraculous benefits for people’s health.
Next, how would such rules even work Would the licensing and insurance be just for adults, or also children How would the system even be enforced-would it also require all bikes to be registered with number plates
Finally, what would you hope to achieve by this If you believe licensing transport users stops wrongdoing, can I point to you the data showing how a third of drivers admit to using handheld phones while driving, despite the law forbidding it.
So, to summarize：your plan would be to introduce a hugely new administrative scheme that would most likely have limited effect on the behaviour of averagely law-abiding (守法的) transport users who rarely harm others, while putting people off from this beneficial type of transport.
I’m afraid I just don’t get it.
4. What does Robert most probably want to know by asking the question
A．whether the government has made efforts regarding his proposal.
B．whether each bike rider has applied for a third-party insurance.
C．whether the congress has sympathy towards the cyclists.
D．whether doctors can receive the government’s support.
5. What does the author think of the plan proposed by Robert
A．It may raise people’s insurance awareness.
B．It can motivate people to obey the law.
C．It imitates what other countries are doing.
D．It is difficult to implement and enforce.
6. The example in paragraph 6 is used .
A．to draw people’s attention to overweight problems
B．to prove that cycling can cause problems
C．to explain why governments advocate cycling
D．to illustrate how broken the NHS is
7. We can conclude from the passage that the author .
A．holds prejudices against Robert Winston
B．is a pleasant and good-tempered person
C．has the right to speak for the government
D．is skilled in argumentative techniques
C
Many children’s hospitals already have storytelling programmes that aim to cheer up patients. But new research suggests that storytelling also has physiological benefits. “Until now, the positive evidence for storytelling was based on ‘common sense’ that interacting with the child may distract, entertain and reduce psychological suffering,” said Dr Jorge Moll, of D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR), Brazil. “But there was a lack of a solid scientific basis.”
“During storytelling, something happens that we call ‘narrative transportation’. The child, through fantasy, can experience sensations and thoughts that transport him or her to another world, a place that is different from the hospital room, and is, therefore, far from the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization,” says Guilherme Brockington.
The team, based at IDOR and the Federal University of ABC, Brazil, studied 81 children between the ages of two and seven, all of whom were in the intensive care unit (ICU) at a hospital in S o Paulo. A group of 41 children each had a session with a storyteller, lasting 25 to 30 minutes. A control group of 40 children each had the same amount of time with the same professionals, but they told riddles instead. Before and after the sessions, the team took saliva samples from each child and assessed their pain level. The saliva samples allowed the researchers to measure levels of the hormone cortisol, which is related to stress, and the hormone oxytocin, which plays a role in empathy.
Both groups of children benefited from the sessions: they all had less cortisol and more oxytocin in their saliva, suggesting they were less stressed, and they reported less pain and discomfort. However, the results were twice as strong for the storytelling group as the control group. At the end of the sessions, the children also took part in a word-association exercise including words like ‘hospital’, ‘nurse’ and ‘doctor’. The team said that children from the control group said “this is the bad woman who comes to give me an injection” in response to the pictures of a doctor or a nurse, while the storytelling group said “this is the woman who comes to cure me”.
“I consider this study to be one of the most important I have participated in, due to its potential direct impact on practices in the hospital environment, aiming at the relief of human suffering. We intend to support volunteering devoted to the noble activity of storytelling, now with more solid scientific evidence,” said Moll.
8. According to the passage, “narrative transportation” indicates children .
A．feel that they are placed into the world of a story
B．fire up their imagination and expand their horizons
C．have more empathy with the characters in the stories
D．experience the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization
9. In Para.3, the author mainly tells the readers about .
A．the application of the research B．the purpose of the research
C．the limitation of the research D．the process of the research
10. How does the author present the findings of the research
A．By making comparisons. B．By giving definitions.
C．By presenting examples. D．By analyzing cause and effect.
11. Which of the following may be the response from the storytelling group
A．A hospital is the place where I go when I’m very sick.
B．A hospital is the place where I get an injection in my arm.
C．A hospital is the place where I am taken care of to feel better.
D．A hospital is the place where I’ll have to take some medicine.

Seen as “national treasure of China” as well as a symbol of peace, the panda, short for “giant panda”, is an endangered animal 32 (win) great attention from all over the world. Two researches in the 1970s and 1980s showed that there were some 1,000 wild pandas in about 37 counties of China, in a habitat of around 13,000 square kilometers. Another survey 33 (do) by the State Bureau of Forestry of China in 2006 got a result that 34 number of wild pandas in China increased to 1,596.

42. My Reflection on Learning English
English is one of my favourite subjects. I’ve learned English for ten years. For me, the most important learning method is developing a good learning habit. A good learner is also an active learner, who tries to learn more with less time. Reading as much as possible is significant to English learning as well. Besides, I like listening to and speaking English.
In these ways, I always get A in exams and I can even read some English novels, such as Harry Potter series.
I am determined to major in English in a foreign language college next year. Hence, I concentrate on my study diligently to live up to my dream.
