Tongai Matandirotya, who works at Brass Bell Restaurant near Cape Town, left behind his own safety to dive into the cold Atlantic ocean to rescue a mother and daughter swept off the pier (长堤) by a sudden wave.
It was a relatively calm day in the fishing village of Kalk Bay. Several people were walking by the window of Brass Bell looking out to the water. Then the scene changed.
“I saw this wave come over the harbor and cover the people, dragging them into the ocean. I immediately ran outside, undressed myself, and dived into the water because I saw a child go in as well.” Tongai said.
37-year-old Clair Gardiner and her 8-year-old daughter Arya were the people swept away by the wave. Gardiner knew they were being pulled into the water as soon as the wave rushed over them, and she managed to wrap her arms around little Arya.
By now Tongai had dropped the drink he was pouring, taken off his belt and jumped into the water—followed by a tourist unnamed by the news reports. By then the ferocious waves, even just a few meters from shore, had pulled Gardiner and Arya apart. Tongai used his belt to rescue Arya who wasn’t able to stay afloat by herself.
“I recently went to the restaurant to thank him,” Gardiner told local news. “My daughter recognized him immediately, and we all embraced each other. We are so thankful to Tongai and the tourist man who risked their lives to save ours; we’ll forever be grateful to them.”
Tongai noticed he had been badly scratched（抓） up by the concrete wall of the pier, but he didn’t care about it. Brass Bell congratulated their man on Facebook, saying they were “so proud” of him, with several comments adding reminders to “tip him well”.
4．What can we learn from the passage
A．Brass Bell Restaurant rewarded Tongai with some tips.
B．Tongai did the rescue perfectly without getting any scratch.
C．Gardiner succeeded in wrapping the belt around little Arya.
D．Gardiner went specially to the restaurant to express her appreciation.

Park, a 30-year-old Korean housewife, recently took a personality test to figure out who she is. “Just like many other people, I don’t exactly know who I am,” she told The Korea Times. “Sometimes I am curious what makes me feel good or bad. I’ve taken several different types of tests to know myself better and the MBTI is one that I tried recently.” In Korea, the MBTI personality test has become the newest trend, particularly among millennials (千禧一代).
MBTI, which stands for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, is a personality test. People answer a questionnaire based on a personality theory. A Hankook survey taken last December found that over half of Koreans have taken the MBTI test. Nine out of every 10 people aged between 19 and 28 responded they took the test. Meanwhile, for those who had never been involved in the test, three quarters showed strong interest, indicating the personality type test has become a phenomenon for younger generations.
The MBTI craze among the younger generation, who are struggling with an uncertain future, reflects their desire for acceptance and comfort in knowing there are like-minded people out there. “The country has limited resources and geography, while its people feature a certain devotion and goal-oriented (目标导向型的) characteristic,” said Lee Myung-jin, a professor of sociology at Korea University. Consequently, they have grown eager on various personality indicators that provide them comfort.
As MBTI has gone viral among younger Koreans, businesses and media have begun to promote products using the personality test. But such MBTI-based marketing strategies have annoyed some younger people who don’t rely on the results of the test. However, experts agree that the popularity of the test also brings some positive implications. “I believe we’re in a transition period,” Kim Jae hyoung, a head researcher of the Korea MBTI institute said. “This trend could develop a social acceptance and affection for mental guidance in the future.”
8．What’s the text mainly about
A．A social phenomenon. B．A disturbing crisis.
C．A young generation D．A commercial test.
9．Why is the Korean housewife mentioned in Paragraph 1
A．To give an example. B．To establish the context.
C．To make a contrast. D．To introduce the woman.
10．What does the new MBTI trend indicate about younger Koreans
A．75% of them have taken the MBTI test while the rest have not.
B．They can secure a more definite future with the help of the test.
C．The trend reflects their inner desire to seek a sense of belonging.
D．The test serves as a handy approach for them to know more people.
11．Which statement will Kim Jae-hyoung probably agree with
A．The new trend brings about more harm than good.
B．Young Koreans should focus on their businesses.
C．Experts need to put efforts in adapting the test.
D．The test opens a window for mental guidance.
D
About 17 million blind and visually impaired (视力受损的) people live in China, according to a 2018 report. The nation does not have the same history of using guide dogs as exists in other countries.
The first guide dogs were used in 1916, and many countries have a rich culture of working with man’s best friend to help the visually impaired. The cost of specialist training to produce such a reliable animal can add up to tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of US dollars. Dogs also have physical limitations, for example being color blind, causing allergies or sadly having a limited lifespan.
This month, a team led by Zhongyu Li, at the University of Berkeley California, revealed a modern prototype (原型). The new four-legged model is designed to guide people with a lead, and is able to find the right way to avoid obstacles. Laser ranging systems recreate a virtual map of the robot’s surroundings and enable it to guide itself and the person through an environment with ease, even in narrow spaces.
The type of coding needed for the robot to understand its relative position in space, and to account for dangers in a changeable environment, will not be easy or cheap to make it available to the public, especially in a population as large as China.
It may still be far-fetched to imagine robots walking through the busy streets. As AI improves, along with the performance of robots, the dream may be realizable. Coding can be directly copied and put into mass produced units, with hardware also becoming cheaper by the year. Robotic guide dogs of the future will need to calculate routes in real time, accounting for many factors such as traffic density (密度), weather conditions and pedestrian footfall. Fast interconnected 5G networks with low latency and widespread coverage will be vital for this.
The blind and visually impaired are a significant minority of the population, and for many the chance to lead an independent and normal life is often as a stepping stone to greater contributions within China’s economy. Robotics can expand horizons for disabled people and allow them to feel more included in society.
12．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．How the first guide dogs came into being.
B．The necessity lo train real-life guide dogs.
C．How guide dogs help the visually impaired.
D．The disadvantages of using real-life guide dogs.
13．What’s the function of the virtual map of the robot’s surroundings
A．To track the robot’s movement.
B．To make the robot’s service life longer.
C．To keep weather conditions informed.
D．To help the robot lead the way successfully.
14．What is important for the application of robotic guide dogs according to the text
A．Good road conditions.
B．Fast 5G networks.
C．Full support from the blind.
D．A virtual map of surroundings.
15．What can be inferred about robotic guide dogs from the text
A．They have yet to be mass-produced.
B．They will surely replace real-life guide dogs.
C．They are equipped with expensive hardware.
D．They stand for a stepping stone to vision recovery.

It was spring in 2018. The whole school was bathed in beautiful sunshine when Kelly Mattison, an English teacher in J. K. F High School, suddenly saw Dylan Be ls c her anxiously walking up and down, his right hand in his pocket. It was nothing like the everyday Be ls c her she had come to know. Mrs Mattison wondered if something had happened.
Belscher was at average student, but not an average person. Generally, his smile would spread across the classroom. Foam a young age, he had started working part-time to belt support his family. He had struggled to grow up, and although he was a tough boy, he was also positive and generous. He was always willing to heap and was popular along his classmate. Recently, however, he had changed. He now worked longer hours, trying to earn more money. It seemed every dollar, even every cent, meant a lot to him.
That morning, when Belscher noticed a dollar on the floor, excitement and opportunity took holds him. Looking around to make sure no one was booking, he quickly bent down, picked up the dollar and put it into his pocket. However, immediately after putting the dollar in his pocket, Be ls c her began to feel uneasy. As the day progressed, he began to feel worse and he couldn’t even concentrate during class. The cue dollar bill felt like a fire burning in his pocket. He kept thinking about Mrs Mattison who always taped(粘贴)lost items on the whiteboard and asked students to do the same.
He was so lost in thought that he didn’t even hear his deskmae call his name.
“Are you OK, Belscher ” His desk mate, mean Rose, asked.
“Sure. …” Belscher paused, unable to complete the sentence. His heart began to race and his mind went blank. “Why. … by are … you … skin ”
Rose was curious. “Your face is so red!” she whispered,
The whisper exploded like a bomb, and Belscher felt as if the whole world was watching him and could see inside his pocket. Be ls c her was so overcome with embarrassment and guilt that he rushed out of the classroom. Even the bright spring sunshine wasn’t strong enough to wash away his shame,

46．Dear Peter,
I’m writing to convey my appreciation to you for your warm suggestions, without which the communication between my parents and me can’t be so smooth.
First of all, it is your encouragement and support that relieve me. Moreover, the calm and respectful manner I am adopting has miraculously kept arguments at bay each time. For good measure, putting myself in my parents’ shoes has enabled me to understand them better. In short, your suggestions have actually benefited us a lot.
My appreciation is beyond words and wish you all the best.

47．Just then, Mrs Mattison approached, “What’s up, Belscher ” Belscher says he's fine. But Mrs Mattison did not believe him. On closer examination, she learned that he had picked up a dollar on the ground and put it in his pocket. He felt ashamed when his deskmate called him. He didn't know what to do, so he ran out of the classroom with a red face. Under the teacher's inquiry, the teacher learned that Belscher's mother was ill, and Belscher had to earn money to help her see a doctor, and he had to take care of the whole family. He tries his best to earn a lot of money. So when he saw the money on the ground, he kept it for himself.
Concerned about the situation of Belscher’s mother, Mrs Mattison posted the touching story on her blog. On her blog, she praised Belscher for working hard to treat her mother. And called on the students to actively donate money for him, and let his mother recover as soon as possible. Mrs Mattison said the one dollar he saw was donated for him by fellow students. Mrs Mattison respected Belscher and let him face the future bravely. Belscher was very moved, he must live up to the expectations of Mrs Mattison and his classmates, let his mother recover this morning, and he will study harder.
