Since he was nine, Babar Ali has been running his own school in a small village, passing on to the children of poor families the knowledge he has acquired at his school during the day.
It began when children in his village asked him questions about what he learned at the 1000-rupee-a-year school their parents could not afford.
"It started when without much effort", he says. "There were lots of children who had dropped out of school, or never been to school at all. They were always asking questions about my lessons and I would repeat everything for them.
"There used to be just eight pupils, and my friends helped me with the teaching. We worked on the standard of teaching. The word spread to nearby villages, and gradually we took on more and more students.
Five years later, the school has a total of 10 teachers, all of whom are students at school, and 650 pupils.
On a typical day, Babar will rise at 5 am, do housework, then take a bus to school in a village three miles away. From 10 am to 4 Pm, he focuses on his own studies, then he races back to his village to welcome his students at 5 pm, teaches until 8 pm. The teaching doesn't make him tired, he says, but gives him more strength to keep up his busy life.
His parents are filled with pride. His father, Nasiruddin, was shocked when he first discovered his son was teaching. "I couldn't believe it. He's always rushing from place to place and I was worried it might affect his studies. So I visited his school. Seeing his dedication to teaching cleared my doubts," he says.
In 2009, Babar was named the "youngest headmaster in the world" by BBC. From then on, his story appeared in many textbooks, and now he is regularly invited to speak at many meetings all over the world.

Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online. Whether reading news or e-books, people are spending more time eyeballing (盯住) screens. While online reading opens up a great deal of knowledge to people, there are some disadvantages too, such as eyestrain, headaches, as well as difficulty in focusing on the text. Now a new reading system, Bionic Reading, developed by Swiss typographic designer Renato Casutt, can help people overcome these issues, and most importantly, it aims to help people read faster online and develop a more in-depth understanding of written content.
The reading system improve the reading process by guiding the eyes through text with artificial fixation points. To make it short: some parts of the words are displayed in bold (粗体). As a result, the reader only focuses on the highlighted letters and lets the brain center complete the rest. Your brain can “read” faster than your eyes, so by essentially reducing the number of letters your eye needs to look at, you can read faster while still preserving the full context.
Cassult discovered the system by accident. He was working on designing a book in a foreign language and realized he could read it if he sectioned it off. He worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and is still working to adjust it.
A preliminary (初步的) study was conducted by the Swiss Institute InnoSuisee, but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading. Some people with ADHD (多动症) prove that Bionic Reading helped them focus and comprehend what they are reading. Other people don’t seem to notice a big difference compared to regular text. There’s also no evidence to suggest Bionic Reading is any better than regular text. The best way to know if the Bionic Reader helps you read better online is to try it yourself.
8. What is the main purpose of Bionic Reading
A To point out people’s reading problems.
B. To teach people necessary reading skills.
C To reduce readers’ screen time and eye stress.
D. To improve people’s reading speed and comprehension.
9. What does the underlined phrase “artificial fixation points” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Words displayed in capital letters. B. Useful expressions.
C. Difficult sentences in the text. D. Bold letters.
10. What do some people with ADHD think of the system according to the text
A. It is complex. B. It can be beneficial.
C. It needs to be improved. D. It has little effect on them.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. A reading project for ADHD. B. A research on language learning.
C. A system to help with online reading. D. A tool for treating reading disability
D
On the evening of April 8, Dunhuang Academy and Huawei jointly launched a brand-new technology-driven tour experience at the Mogao Grottoes. Using Huawei's newly-released Hetu artificial intelligence platform, coupled with the output of the Digital Dunhuang project, visitors to the Mogao Grottoes can enjoy a fantasy experience prior to entering the attraction.
Zhao Shengliang, director of the Dunhuang Academy, said that it has been cooperating with Huawei since March 2019. Using Huawei's latest Hetu technology, visitors are able to see the detailed contents of the Dunhuang Art Murals(壁画) outside the caves, through their Huawei mobile phones. This will reduce the time tourists spend inside the cave, aiding the protection of the cultural relics, while at the same time helping to increase the amount of information visitors can obtain. It is also considered to be a new way of promoting Dunhuang Art.
The Dunhuang Academy has used digital technology to preserve the research and exploration of Dunhuang Grottoes since the early 1990s. It has collected a wealth of data and has realized the goal of sharing of digital Dunhuang globally. It has played an important role in the protection and research of cultural site, as well as promoting the development and progress of related work.
The Huawei Hetu platform unites Dunhuang's study findings, high—resolution images of the site's murals and virtual, three-dimensional models with the real Mogao Grottoes. It has not only re-created the real tour of the scenic spot, but also developed a new way of digitally experiencing the grottoes. When people visit the site, they not only have the experience of seeing the real grottoes, but they can appreciate the admirable artworks more clearly and in greater detail.
In the future, Dunhuang Academy will continue to cooperate with Huawei to create more colorful virtual content to enrich the experience of Mogao Art on the platform, helping people around the world get to know Dunhuang Art better.
12. Which is NOT the advantage of the Hetu technology
A. Decrease the cost of the visitors. B. Reduce the time visitors spend inside the cave.
C Help to protect the cultural relics. D. Provide more information for tourists.

14. What‘s the author‘s attitude towards the cooperation between Dunhuang and Huawei
A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Indifferent. D. Hopeful.
15. What is the best title for the text

Nicholas Epley, a behavioural scientist, and I conducted a series of studies and concluded that kind acts as simple as buying a cup of coffee for someone can promote a person’s happiness. Everyday life affords many opportunities for such actions, yet people do not always catch them. ____16____
We firstly studied acts of kindness done for familiar people such as friends, classmates or family. ____17____ For instance, in one experiment, people wrote notes to friends and family “just because”. In another, they gave cupcakes away to workmates. Across these experiments, we asked both the person performing a kind act and the one receiving it to fill out questionnaires (问卷).
Across our studies, several strong patterns appeared. For one, both performers and receivers of the acts of kindness were in more positive moods than normal after these kind acts. ____18____ The receivers felt significantly better than the kind actors expected. The receivers also reliably rated these acts as “bigger” than the people performing them did.
____19____In one experiment, participants at an ice-skating rink (溜冰场) in a public park gave away hot chocolate to people they didn’t know on a cold winter day. Again, the experience was more positive than the performers expected for the receivers. Although the people giving out the hot chocolate saw the act as relatively small, it really mattered to the receivers.
These findings suggest that what might seem small when we are deciding whether or not to do something nice for someone else could matter a great deal to the person we do it for These warm acts can improve our own emotional health and brighten the day of another person. ____20____
A. So why not choose kindness when we can
B. For another, it was clear that performers undervalued their impacts.
C. From one situation to the next, the specific acts of kindness differed.
D. We found that participants didn’t realize their positive impacts on strangers as well.
E. Our research also revealed one reason why people may not realize their actions’ impacts.
F. We compared the performers’ expectation of the receivers’ moods with their actual experiences.
G. It is because people performing kind acts undervalue how much receivers value their behaviour.

I shouted for help, and immediately Mel and other climbers came to help me and called Mountain Rescue. Then I was taken to a _____32_____ where I stayed for four days. The doctors told me it would be a year before my leg was well again, but I started climbing again half a year later.
