Noted for his profound description of life along the Chinese railway, Wang Fuchun passed away on March 13th at the age of 79. His engaging photographs capture the substance of China's ever-changing landscape.
Being artistic and good at painting and calligraphy, Wang found that photography bridged the two worlds: he could make art with his camera and increasingly he felt that his goal was not art, but life.
In the late 1970s, when he started taking his photographs, everyone on a railway platform looked reserved and orderly. By the late 1980s, a great rush to the cities had begun on the trains. He recorded young migrant workers shedding their shirts, running with sweat, seeking coolness on top of the seats. He did not ask anyone's permission to take them, and he preferred to act secretly, like a thief in a way, as it captured the authentic(真实的)moments of people's lives—and so mirrored all the more clearly how China was changing.
His project was all-consuming. Over 40 years he estimated he had ridden on 1, 000 trains and covered more than 100, 000 kilometers, on every line in China. Each trip was neatly noted down in a notebook; he took about 200, 000 pictures, and logged each by its place. From those pictures, he felt the migrants' poverty too keenly, and he preferred to capture the hope that pushed people on to trains.
China was rushing to the modern world. Steam was fading; the green-skinned trains acquired fans and air-conditioning. Then came express trains, then high-speed rail. The aisles were clear, the windows sealed. However, in the reclining seats(躺椅座位), everyone reclined.
In the ordinary seats, everyone's noses were buried in their tablets and their phones.
He liked the message of hope; he was proud of what China had achieved. But how sad, he also thought that on that dashing train there was no mess, no collision of life and no good subjects for him, and that Chinese people should once again look so orderly, reserved and unconcerned about each other, even on a train.
4. How did Wang Fuchun reveal the changes in China with his camera
A. By creating art works on railway platforms.
B. By documenting migrant workers' daily life.
C. By recording the transformation of life on the train.
D. By capturing a great rush to cities along the railway.
5. Why did Wang Fuchun prefer to take photographs secretly
A. To perform his duty. B. To reflect reality better.
C. To avoid disturbing people. D. To satisfy his curiosity.
6. What did Wang Fuchun find about the passengers on the modern train
A. They were only focused on themselves.
B. They were quite messy and disorganized.
C. They were interested in the reclining seats.
D. They were engaged in lively conversations.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Wang Fuchun
A. Friendly and considerate. B. Devoted and observant.
C. Talented and humorous. D. Optimistic and generous.
C
In the 1990s, the Japanese mobile phone operator DoCoMo tacked(添加)a heart symbol onto a cheap pager(传呼机) which was a massive success with teenagers. But when the company released a new version of the pager without the heart button, it caused an "outcry".
Many users even left DoCoMo and signed up for another pager company that had adopted the heart.
"That's when I knew that symbols absolutely had to be part of any texting service, "
Shigetaka Kurita said. “That was my main inspiration. ”Kurita led the team at DoCoMo that designed a set of 176 characters inspired by basic concepts of things like weather, food, and feelings. They were called emoji. The first set of emojis was launched on DoCoMo phones in 1999
Other Japanese companies quickly followed DoCoMo's lead and developed their own versions of emoji. Since then, emojis have exploded. In 2007, the Unicode Consortium, a Silicon Valley nonprofit that standardizes software and code across platforms, began to standardize emojis as well so they would appear more or less the same across the Internet.
Emojis have been available outside of Japan since the mid-2000s through separate apps. which let users copy and paste the icons into text messages and emails. It became popular in the US when an emoji keyboard was added to Apple iPhones by 2011.
Today, emojis are part of our everyday vocabulary. They can even be used for public health purposes. For example, a mosquito emoji was approved in 2018 to raise awareness about global mosquito-borne illnesses, making it easier to communicate across cultures and languages about the public health risks of the insect.
However, emoji isn't the equivalent(等同物)of language and it isn't ruining language, according to Internet linguist Gretchen MeCulloch. “You don't see people putting the cat emoji for the word cat very often. In many cases, what they're doing is adding in an extra emoji to express an additional layer of meaning on top of the words they're saying, "said MeCulloch.
"Language isn't the only way that you communicate. "
8. What did DoCoMo realize from users' reaction to the different versions of its pager
A. Most people preferred cheap pagers.
B. The heart symbol was users' favorite.
C. The pager market was highly competitive.
D. Symbols mattered much in texting service.
9. Why did the Unicode Consortium standardize emoji
A. To control its explosion. B. To make it diverse.
C. To increase its popularity. D. To gam profits from it.
10. What is the author's purpose in mentioning a mosquito emoji
A. To show an application of emojis in other fields.
B. To tell us emojis can cure mosquito-borne illnesses.
C. To prove emojis are part of our everyday vocabulary.
D. To suggest emojis are widely accepted across cultures.
11. What does Gretchen MeCulloch say about emoji in the last paragraph
A. It has room for improvement. B. It adds extra meaning to language.
C. It is more powerful than language. D. It should be used in a proper way.
D
New research suggests that taking a time out from our busy, technology-soaked lives can help reset our internal clocks so we can literally rest more easily.
Researchers from the University of Colorado in Boulder set out on a six-day camping trip in the Rocky Mountains, without smartphones and any other lighting tools. During the trip, the campers only used daylight and the glow of their campfire. The result was the group going to sleep an average of two and a half hours earlier than they would at home and getting ten hours of sleep each night.
During the day, the campers were more active than they would be in their typical daily life, according to monitoring devices. They were also exposed to natural light levels up to thirteen times what they were used to. The effects lasted beyond their short trip, as well. Shortly after the trip, lab-tested melatonin(褪黑激素)levels in the participants were found to rise a few hours before their pre-camping bedtime, which starts the process of settling the body into sleep.
A second study, which included a control group who kept their usual routines at home, produced similar results. The folks who went camping—this time just for the weekend-also went to bed sooner and were exposed to four times more natural light.
Those behind the experiment have some good news for those who abhor sleeping outside with bugs and wildlife: you don't have to go camping to gain the same benefits. All that is needed is close consideration of the light cycles to which you are exposed every day. Wright suggests exposing yourself to healthy levels of natural sunlight and choosing a reasonable time to go to bed.
He adds, “I don't think the take home from this study should be let's go camping'. We should look carefully at the environment in our homes and our bedrooms, at the light and temperature in the evening, and see how that affects our decision to go to sleep. "
12. What can we learn about the campers from the first study
A. They couldn't rely on any tools. B. They had no access to lighting devices.
C. They couldn't help but feel bored. D. They needed more sleep than at home.
13. What can we infer from the studies
A. Camping in mountains works best. B. Digital devices affect our sleep.
C. Natural light can help improve sleep. D. Our internal clock can be easily disturbed.
14. What does the underlined word “abhor”in paragraph 5 mean
A. Consider. B. Delay. C. Advise. D. Hate.
15. Which of the following does Wright suggest doing
A. Creating a good family atmosphere.
B. Realizing the importance of camping.
C. Finding out what contributes to our sleeping late.
D. Exposing ourselves to sunlight as much as possible.

三、 参考答案
The old lady was surprised at his words and nodded slightly. All she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Joe crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his fingers a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid. Joe just smiled as he closed her trunk.
She asked him how much she owed him. Joe never thought about the money. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and there were many people who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give them the assistance that they needed. The old lady nodded with tears rolling down from her eyes.
